Additionally, Yan Jien discovered a liquid secreted from his claws in the cup! This drop of liquid was divided into two parts: the upper part was colorless and transparent, while the lower part was a light red and quite viscous.
"Could the colorless part cause poisoning or infection?" Yan Jien speculated. "And the light red part is likely a key substance for marking territory?" Yan Jien's eyes sparkled. "Hmm, that's very possible!" Yan Jien nodded. "In that case, I can't just grab things carelessly anymore!" Yan Jien frowned. "But on the bright side, even if I get scratched in the future, it won't be contagious!" Yan Jien reassured himself. "Next, I need to move!" Yan Jien contemplated. "Tomorrow I'll go to the furniture market to see what needs to be replaced and reserve the necessary furniture. Once I get the property deed transferred, I can move right away!" Yan Jien made his decision. "This way, I can avoid Tong Liya!" Yan Jien sighed in relief.
Regarding Tong Liya, Yan Jien still felt a bit guilty. After all, he was the one who had destroyed her happiness with his own hands.
On the other side, Tong Liya followed Ma Yun's advice and decided to give up on Yan Jien.
"Liya, have you thought this through?" Ma Yun asked.
"Yes!" Tong Liya nodded.
"Are you really sure?" Ma Yun confirmed.
"Yes!" Tong Liya nodded again.
"Liya, don't blame me for being blunt; your mother will not agree to you being with Yan Jien!" Ma Yun reminded her.
"I know!" Tong Liya said bitterly.
"Moreover, Yan Jien is from the countryside. If you are with him, you'll have to go back to rural life with him. Are you willing to leave your mother?" Ma Yun asked.
"No!" Tong Liya shook her head.
"So, it's impossible for you and Yan Jien!" Ma Yun sighed.
"I..." Tong Liya hesitated to speak.
"Alright, stop thinking about it and get some sleep early!" Ma Yun comforted her.
"Okay." Tong Liya nodded.
At 4:08 AM, Yan Jien woke up naturally.
"It's getting late!" Yan Jien glanced at his phone and shook his head.
"Huh? What happened to the liquid in the cup?" Yan Jien was puzzled.
"Did it dry up?" Yan Jien wondered.
"How did it turn into a small stone?" Yan Jien was surprised.
Yan Jien reached out with his right hand, grabbed the small stone, and threw it onto the table.
Clang!
The small stone actually stuck!
"Is it really that hard?" Yan Jien was astonished.
"It seems I can use these small stones to mark my territory!" Yan Jien's eyes lit up.
"But I wonder if these small stones can be detected by other creatures?" Yan Jien frowned.
"I'll just have to wait until I lose control next time!" Yan Jien contemplated.
Next, Yan Jien continued to meditate.
After dawn, Yan Jien went to work.
On the way, Yan Jien conducted a few experiments.
"Sure enough, it works!" Yan Jien was delighted.
Earlier, he had thrown ten small stones at various marking points along the way, and the marking effect was clearly visible!
"This will make marking my territory much easier in the future!" Yan Jien felt pleased.
Soon, Yan Jien arrived at the company.
"Strict Teacher, good morning!" Tong Liya greeted him.
"Good morning!" Yan Jien nodded slightly.
"Strict Teacher, good morning!" Ma Yun smiled and greeted him.
"Good morning!" Yan Jien replied casually.
"Strict Teacher, you seem a bit unhappy today?" Ma Yun asked with concern.
"Do I?" Yan Jien said expressionlessly.
"You do!" Ma Yun confirmed.
"Maybe I didn't sleep well!" Yan Jien replied dismissively.
"You need to take care of yourself!" Ma Yun advised.
"Mm." Yan Jien acknowledged but did not engage further with Ma Yun.
Ma Yun, feeling awkward, decided to remain silent.
"Strict Teacher, you're here!" Deng Kaiwen entered the office.
"Teacher Deng, good morning!" Yan Jien nodded slightly.
"Strict Teacher, Manager Fang wants to meet with us!" Deng Kaiwen said.
"Is that so? Then let's go!" Yan Jien stood up.
"Alright!" Deng Kaiwen nodded.
On the way, Deng Kaiwen suddenly said, "Strict Teacher, Zhou Tingzhi has resigned!"
"Oh." Yan Jien responded noncommittally.
"So you don't have to feel awkward later!" Deng Kaiwen reminded him.
"Mm." Yan Jien replied faintly.
"Sigh!" Deng Kaiwen sighed inwardly.
Last night, Deng Kaiwen had a fight with Zhou Yanping over Yan Jien and Li Yanqiu!
Deng Kaiwen insisted that Yan Jien and Li Yanqiu were a perfect match, while Zhou Yanping believed that Li Yanqiu was not worthy of Yan Jien!
In the end, Deng Kaiwen won by a margin of five votes!
The reason it was five votes was that Zhou Yanping cast two votes!
Soon, Yan Jien and Deng Kaiwen arrived at Manager Fang's house.
"Strict Teacher, you're here!" Manager Fang greeted warmly.
"Manager Fang, hello!" Yan Jien smiled slightly.
"Hello, hello! Please come in!" Manager Fang ushered them in.
"Okay!" Yan Jien nodded.
Once inside, Yan Jien measured the dimensions of each room and took many photos for design purposes later.
"Strict Teacher, how is it?" Manager Fang asked with concern.
"Manager Fang, don't worry, I will definitely hand over the design drawings to you within this week!" Yan Jien assured.
"Then I appreciate it!" Manager Fang said gratefully.
"You're welcome!" Yan Jien waved his hand.
"By the way, Strict Teacher, Director Zhou has resigned!" Manager Fang suddenly said.
"Really? That's unfortunate!" Yan Jien replied insincerely.
"Yes, I also think it's a pity!" Manager Fang echoed.
"Manager Fang, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now!" Yan Jien said.
"Alright, I'll see you off!" Manager Fang nodded.
Back at the company, Yan Jien continued working.
In the afternoon, Tong Liya returned to work but looked very dejected.
Yesterday, Tong Liya had a heart-to-heart with her mother!
She told her mother that she had developed feelings for Yan Jien, but her mother firmly opposed it!
Tong Liya tried to persuade her mother, but her mother was completely unmoved!
In the end, Tong Liya had no choice but to give up!
She didn't want to leave her mother and live in Yan Jien's hometown!
Moreover, Yan Jien had also told her that he would not accept her!
"Liya, are you okay?" Ma Yun asked with concern.
"I'm fine!" Tong Liya shook her head.
"Then why do you look so listless?" Ma Yun questioned.
"I..." Tong Liya hesitated to speak.
"Liya, you need to be strong!" Ma Yun encouraged her.
"Mm." Tong Liya nodded heavily.
In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
In the evening, the expected outburst from Yan Jien occurred.
