Soaking in the bathtub all night, Jiang Yizhou had no strength to immediately chase after his girlfriend, nor was there any reason to do so. Wasn't that just a given?
Ding Zhengnan's departure was simply because he was blinded by his own delusions, so he turned a blind eye to his girlfriend leaving.
If Jiang Yizhou had any virtue, it would be his ability to go with the flow.
In the warm room, as his body gradually warmed up, he looked at the furnishings in the bedroom, which did not seem like a place where a girl was about to leave. Several photos of the two of them were developed and hung on the wall, along with carefully tended flowers and a neatly arranged courtyard...
He took out his phone and continued to call Ding Zhengnan, but without a doubt, it was turned off.
He couldn't understand why the girl would leave without even saying goodbye or giving any signs. Although he had invested very little in this relationship, so there was almost no sense of unwillingness or resentment, he felt quite a bit of reluctance and confusion.
Why not just talk to me directly? Why keep it from me?
Deception is the most intoxicating form of shallow evil. After gathering the courage to confess everything to his girlfriend, Jiang Yizhou thought about Ding Zhengnan's reaction; perhaps he would scold him or plead with him, but he never expected it would come to this.
This time he called Lu Feiyan, hoping to get some useful information from her.
"Did the public line at Information Port get approved? Thank you so much!" After hanging up the phone, Lu Feiyan excitedly said to her partner beside her, "I managed to secure a free line. Although there are still some issues, at least it will be enough for us for half a year!"
Song Rushi's gaze shifted as she was also intrigued by this good news. In the early stages, one of the biggest obstacles to operating the website was network costs, which were absolutely significant expenses comparable to future bandwidth costs for video streaming sites.
Many departments had various free line resources available for use, such as various ISP providers and telecommunications departments, which required networking and connections to secure.
Seeing an incoming call, Lu Feiyan answered again. Upon hearing the voice on the other end, her expression immediately turned serious as she covered the microphone. "What do you want from me?"
Jiang Yizhou informed her that as a relative, she had the right to know, " Ding Zhengnan left me a breakup letter and just left. I can't reach her on the phone now. Do you know where she went?"
Lu Feiyan covered the microphone and looked up to meet Song Rushi's gaze, who seemed to be listening intently. She stared at her with mixed feelings, "As such, you won!"
"What did I win? I didn't participate in any competition!" Song Rushi replied, somewhat confused, as she sat back down in her seat, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and smiled awkwardly.
She thought about winning over a man but immediately recalled Jiang Yizhou's flirtatious nature and how he casually embraced multiple women. That thought dampened her spirits; although he had his merits—outstanding, wealthy, focused, responsible, and open—he was definitely not a faithful person when it came to personal relationships.
"Never mind, I'm going out to make a call."
Once she reached the window, she continued to communicate with Jiang Yizhou, "What exactly is going on? You need to clarify this for me!"
"I've already told you. Ding Zhengnan left me a breakup letter and then just left. I can't get in touch with her now, so I'm asking if you know anything," he said. Encountering Ding Zhengnan's aunt always made him feel a bit disgusted by her pretense of caring for Ding Zhengnan. Now he was quite calm about it.
"Alright, I understand. I'll take care of this. You can go back to dreaming peacefully!" She felt pleased to know about this situation; at least her niece had seen through this person's true nature. It was just a lesson learned; there was no need to worry about finding a good son-in-law given their family's conditions.
She was also pondering Ding Zhengnan's possible whereabouts. They could check overseas travel records under the guise of relatives, but domestically it would require various channels to search slowly. Hopefully, Ding Zhengnan would use her bank card!
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yizhou felt a surge of frustration and slammed his phone on the ground. However, the quality of the Nokia phone was good; it didn't break. He reluctantly picked it up from the floor and placed it by the bed before being overwhelmed by fatigue and falling into a deep sleep.
At the pharmacy, after explaining Jiang Yizhou's symptoms to the sales staff and declining their suggestion to go to the hospital soon, she drove with the medicine to Jiang Yizhou's residence. Using a spare key, she successfully opened both the gate and the front door.
When Shen Qing found Jiang Yizhou in his bedroom, curled up with his skin slightly swollen from soaking too long, she couldn't help but laugh. She didn't have many concerns; life was life, and work was work. She had always been clear about her boundaries with Jiang Yizhou.
Shen Qing understood that this Boss, who seemed reckless on the surface, had done things concerning Sister Ru Shi, which she was aware of as well. In essence, Jiang Yizhou was quite timid; thus, he always chose not to hide things to boost his confidence.
Everything was open, with no concealment. If he received tacit approval, he would become reckless. It was likely that even a slightly daring assistant, who harbored fantasies, could be deceived by his appearance and end up completely taken advantage of.
Therefore, she had always been righteous and upfront when dealing with Jiang Yizhou, laying everything bare without any issues.
However, sometimes she doubted whether this man might be a sex addict. Whenever he saw someone around him who had feelings for him (as he believed), he would flirt with them, as if he hadn't touched a woman in decades.
"Shen Qing, you're here!" Feeling the movement, Jiang Yizhou curled up weakly in bed. The soreness in his body and the constant sneezing made it impossible for him to sleep peacefully. Was this a punishment for breaking up?
"Mr. Jiang, what happened to you? Could it be..." Shen Qing joked, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat comical. She was unaware of the letter and thought that the absurd Jiang Yizhou was playing some kind of game with his girlfriend, which led to him catching a cold! Given his personality, it wasn't impossible; it was simply outrageous!
"Get me a cup of hot water; I don't want to talk right now!" Although he had a good relationship with this buddy-like assistant, they weren't at the level where such jokes could be made, especially when the joke contradicted reality, which put him in an exceptionally bad mood.
Shen Qing was taken aback; it seemed she had touched a nerve. She didn't continue and instead prepared hot water for Jiang Yizhou, taking out the appropriate amount of medicine and feeding it to him.
Looking at Shen Qing's delicate makeup, Jiang Yizhou didn't have any chaotic thoughts but felt somewhat emotional. He was someone who lacked self-awareness; he could only punish himself and correct mistakes after realizing he had erred, rather than restraining himself from the beginning. If only there were more people like Shen Qing.
Or perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if he were bound by the harsh realities of his past life.
