Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

I was enjoying a wonderful afternoon tea and reading with my three children, but the nanny said that there were guests coming to interrupt our wonderful time together.

Rong Zixuan was sitting on the sofa with a worried look on his face. When he saw me, he immediately stood up and forced a smile.

"Tell me, what do you want from me? To borrow money? Or to pay it back?"

"Have you renovated this house?" Rong Zixuan asked while looking around.

"You don't think I still miss you, do you? Just save your breath!"

"I really regret our divorce..." Rong Zixuan said with his head down.

"Stop it! I don't want to hear that kind of talk anymore! I don't want to be disgusted by you anymore! And belated affection is cheaper than grass! The most important thing is that you have a girlfriend now, and she's pregnant! Don't even think about disgusting me now!"

"We broke up and she aborted the child." Rong Zixuan lowered his head and answered dejectedly.

"Did you have a fight?"

"Not really. She just thinks I'm incompetent and can't give her the life she wants." Rong Zixuan said with a wry smile.

"Long story short, why on earth did you come to me? I don't want to hear your love story!"

"Can you give me another chance? I want to go back to work at Zhongding."

"Impossible! Zhong Ding already has someone in the technical director position! And with all the shit you did, even if I let you go back, would you still have the nerve to face other people?"

"Then can you arrange a job for me, even a security guard or gatekeeper will do! I really need a job to support myself." Rong Zixuan pleaded.

"In just a few days, you've changed? Didn't you not care at all at the beginning? Are you still Rong Zixuan?"

"The day before yesterday, Yang Zhe organized a get-together for the four of us in our dormitory in Shenzhou. The three of them are all doing well. After Yang Zhe finished his master's degree at Jinghua, he worked at a large company in Shenzhou. His monthly salary is now over 20,000 yuan after tax. He got married the year before last and had a daughter last year. His wife works as an accountant in Shenzhou and also has a good monthly salary. The two of them took out a loan to buy a house in Shenzhou, and the family of three is very happy! After graduating from college, Jiang Haoran went to a private high school in Shenzhou to teach mathematics. His monthly salary is over 10,000 yuan after tax. He now has a stable girlfriend and is at the stage of discussing marriage. Ning Xu graduated from Yanjing University and worked in a private high school in Shenzhou. I work in IT at a company I work for. I graduated from my postgraduate program last year and successfully competed for a mid-level position. My annual salary is estimated to be around a million yuan, and I get commissions on some projects. Of the four of us, I'm currently the worst off, even though I was the most successful back then! I was a multi-millionaire when I graduated, but six years later, I'm a pauper now! I wonder if I hadn't been with you, I might have ended up like them. Or if you hadn't met Xiao Yuan, we might have been living an ordinary but happy life like Yang Zhe and his wife!

"So you're blaming me?" I asked back.

"No, it's just that I couldn't seize the opportunity! I believed you were the smartest person in the world, but I refused to admit that you were better than me. I had to prove myself for the sake of my ridiculous self-esteem, and ended up falling further and further. Your ability was too strong, and success came too easily. I thought I could do it too, so I didn't have the patience to slowly hone myself. I kept thinking of crooked ways to make a quick buck, and ended up going the wrong way."

"The last time I helped you pay off your debt, you acted like you were heartbroken and had finally realized something. But it was all just a passing fancy. In the end, you'll still be what you're supposed to be. I won't be fooled by you again!"

"No, I'm serious this time! I really realized my problem. Yesterday I took my two children to a cake shop. They wanted to eat a certain cake, but it was too expensive for me, and I didn't have any extra money to satisfy them. I coaxed them for a long time before convincing them to buy a cheaper one. But after buying it, they took two bites and threw it away, saying it was not tasty. I took them to the amusement park, but I didn't have enough money to let them play the rides they wanted, so they went home disappointed. Jiashu complained to me that it was not fun to go out with me and he didn't want to go out with me again next time. I really realized how painful it is to be without money!"

"Then you can go find a job and earn some money! Why do you have to pester me?"

"If I submit my resume and apply for a job like everyone else, the salary would be too low! But you know my abilities, so..."

"With that resume, they're probably going to give you a salary in the tens of thousands! Don't be too greedy! And you just said you'd be open to security guarding the gate, so why are you changing your mind so quickly?"

"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality! I'm used to spending money lavishly!" Rong Zixuan didn't dare to look at me when he said this.

"Then try to save money! Were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth? Don't you know how you lived before you went to college?"

"My parents were there at that time, so I didn't have to think so much." Rong Zixuan answered in a low voice.

"I, I didn't mean to!" I accidentally poked his scar and I felt very ashamed.

"After the party, I returned home and saw my girlfriend packing her things. I thought she was going on a trip, but she coldly threw a report to me and told me coldly that she had aborted the child. She used to think that I was a technical director with a good annual salary and was a suitable marriage partner. But I'm unemployed now and can't give her the future she wants, so instead of suffering in the future, it's better to end it now. I begged her not to leave me, because she was all I had left, but she insisted on leaving and I couldn't stop her. Only then did I realize how bad my behavior was and how much harm I caused you. I don't ask for your forgiveness, and I don't deserve your forgiveness. I don't have many relatives in this world, so I hope you can give me a chance, and I will definitely change for the better!" Rong Zixuan started playing the emotional card again. I felt a little guilty for accidentally reminding him of his parents, so I began to waver.

"But you've already squandered my trust and patience. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore! I can write off the money you owe me, but I only ask that you stop disturbing my life!"

"I saw Liang Yan that day. He came to Hegang for a trip with his wife and children. They were a happy family of three. I wanted to avoid him, but he called me. He said that he now works in an Internet company and has become a small leader. During the conversation with him, I was deeply stimulated! My roommates and rivals in love back then are all living better than me. Why? On what basis? It is obvious that I was much better than them back then! I locked myself in the room yesterday and thought about it for a whole day, then I really realized that I was asking for trouble! I could have lived better than any of them, but I ruined it all with my own hands. So I beg you again, please give me another chance!" After saying that, Rong Zixuan knelt in front of me. I was a little at a loss. I wanted to help him but didn't want to have physical contact with him.

"We've been together for six years, from the age of 18 to 24. I don't want to see you sink into depravity, but what you've done really chills my heart. I don't know if you'll bite me back like the farmer did."

"I swear, I will never do that again this time. I will work hard! Live well, and never think about anything else! I don't need any love anymore! I hurt the person who loves me the most, and God has punished me! No one will ever love me more than you, and I don't want to love anyone else! For the rest of my life, I will work hard and raise our children well!" Rong Zixuan said sincerely.

"You're not lying to me again!"

"I really mean it this time! I have nothing left! I don't have many relatives and friends in this world to rely on. I can only ask you for help when I encounter difficulties! You can't just ignore me! Aqing!" Rong Zixuan was very sincere and shed two lines of tears, which made me feel a little soft-hearted.

"There's an opportunity right in front of you now. I wonder if you can seize it!"

"what chance!"

"Come, I'll tell you!" I whispered in his ear.

He was in a dilemma. "You're forcing me! I only know how to program and write code. How can I do this if I were asked to? If I had, Xuanming wouldn't have gone bankrupt!"

"I just need you to use your expertise, and I'll send someone to assist you with the rest!"

"Really? I just have to do what I'm good at!"

"I'm not crazy and I'm asking you to do something you're not good at and cause me trouble!"

"Then what do I do?"

"You go back first! I'll send someone to contact you later. If this thing succeeds, I'll make you the president!"

"Really!" Rong Zixuan's face turned from gloomy to bright.

"But! If you fail, then you can go to hell! I won't help you again! The opportunity is in your hands, and it's only this once! The last time! It's up to you! Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your ability!"

"No problem!" Rong Zixuan stood up happily.

After I explained some details, I let Rong Zixuan go back first. Later, I also told my assistant some things and asked him to take Rong Zixuan abroad. I will wait for their news to see if Rong Zixuan can seize this opportunity.
