Fang Chu chose a high-end Western restaurant. To apologize, I specifically selected a fancy place. To my surprise, my brother and sister-in-law were also on a date here. Fang Chu and I had no choice but to share a table with them.
"Bro, what are you doing here?" Shen Yuqian looked at Fang Chu in surprise. I widened my eyes, unable to believe what I was seeing. "You two are siblings?"
"Yeah," Shen Yuqian replied with a smile, nodding. "Sister, didn't I mention yesterday that I wanted to introduce you to my brother?"
"I didn't expect you two to have such a connection, ending up together like this."
"Since that's the case, why don't you two become a couple? It would be even better if you got closer," I felt my face turn pale. I remembered just earlier when I was in the restroom, complaining about being single.
"Sister, why aren't you saying anything?" Shen Yuqian looked at me curiously.
I wore a distressed expression and said, "I'm just too shocked."
"Qianqian, stop joking around."
"Your brother is a big boss; I'm just an employee. How could I possibly be worthy of him?"
"You are worthy, definitely worthy." Shen Yuqian nodded repeatedly. "In my eyes, no one is more deserving of my brother than you."
"Please stop being modest."
I felt like crying without tears. After dinner, I learned that Fang Chu was the hidden big boss of our company, and I was so shocked that I almost fainted.
Oh no! Earlier, I had been complaining about the company and the boss right in front of him. He wouldn't fire me out of anger, would he?
When I got home that night, I gave my brother a good scolding.
"Sister, why are you hitting me?" My brother held his head in grievance, looking at me with a pitiful expression.
"Your sister-in-law is actually the big boss of our company! Why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't even ask me."
"Do you think you have a point?"
I hit him hard again.
He covered his head and ran behind my mom to hide.
"Mom, look at my sister, she hit me again."
"You deserve it."
My mom shot him a glare, "Who told you not to tell your sister?"
"Mom, you're so biased!"
My brother glared at my mom in disbelief.
"I'm biased, so what?"
My mom proudly lifted her chin, "Your sister is my biological daughter; you were picked up by me, so of course I favor your sister."
I couldn't help but laugh.
My mom is really humorous.
"Time to sleep, time to sleep."
My brother pulled Shen Yuqian's hand back to the room.
After I returned to my room, I messaged Chen Yueyue.
"Brother, please help me out."
"If I lose my job, how can I support you?"
As soon as I sent the message, Chen Yueyue replied with a voice message.
I clicked it open and heard his arrogant voice.
"Chen Yunyun, you're really pathetic."
"It's just a job; if you lose it, you can find another one."
"When did you become so cowardly?"
I took a deep breath and typed with gritted teeth.
"Chen Yueyue, just wait!"
The next day, I went to the company for a meeting.
Fang Chu stood at the front and began his planning presentation.
His serious demeanor was completely different from usual.
I watched him, slightly entranced.
"Clap clap clap."
Zhou Qingya led the applause, her face beaming with a smile. Fang Chu glanced at her and smiled slightly. Zhou Qingya immediately lowered her head shyly. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Indeed, as long as a man has money, even if he is unattractive, a bunch of women will flock to him.
After the meeting, I continued working. Zhou Qingya, being the assistant to the team leader, often assigned me heavy tasks. I had to work overtime every day until late to go home. Today, Fang Chu needed to refine the plan, so I also had to stay late.
Everyone in the company had left, leaving only Fang Chu and me. To make up for my lack of professionalism that day, I focused intently on my work.
"Chen Yunyun," Fang Chu suddenly spoke up.
I looked up at him, puzzled. "What’s wrong?"
"You should clock out now."
"Huh?" I blinked and checked the time. It was already eight-thirty.
I quickly stood up and packed my things. "Oh no, it's so late! I need to hurry and leave."
"Mm." Fang Chu nodded slightly, his gaze playful.
I felt like he was deliberately stalling for time. "The company locks the doors at ten," he said, glancing at me. "Aren't you going to hurry up and leave?"
