Chapter 874: Modified: Chapter 375 Cloudy, Evening_2

”You’ve mentioned this before, I know.” Liu Qingning lowered her gaze slightly, ”I’m also mentally prepared.”

In recent years, she’s been extremely busy, dedicating most of her energy and time to work and her career.

In that state, she simply didn’t have the capacity to date Tang Song.

Since Teacher Wang talked to her about this, she couldn’t help but feel anxious inside.

Reflecting carefully, ever since leaving Imperial City, she started the 997 work schedule, and their communication was even less than ordinary friends.

Whether Tang Song now has any close female friends, or who he interacts with daily, she has no idea.

The anxiety about her appearance and figure these days ultimately stems from this reason.

Even though she is rational, mature, and confident, when it comes to love, she still cannot help but feel flustered and confused.

Wang Chang softly asked, ”If there are blemishes in his feelings for you, would you still choose to be with him?”

”I... I respect his choice.” Liu Qingning’s chest rose and fell, her pearly teeth biting down on her lower lip.

”Let me ask you a question, what is your biggest hope for Tang Song?”

Liu Qingning remained silent for a long time, then said, ”I hope he can live a happy and carefree life without worrying about money, living in a way he loves. He always wanted to get into Imperial University for graduate school and prepared for it for a long time, but later had to stop because of financial issues.”

”Hmm, you told me before that he wanted to apply for my graduate program.” Wang Chang nodded.

At that time, Liu Qingning had specifically sought her out, naturally aiming to increase Tang Song’s chances of getting accepted.

Wang Chang gently patted her on the head, softly saying, ”What I want to say is, no matter what happens in your relationship going forward, don’t act impulsively. Think carefully before making a decision.

You’ve silently given so much for him, worked hard for so long, don’t let go easily.

I believe in the love between you two and that you will be happy. Keep going, Qingning!”

”Thank you, Teacher Wang!”

...

Back at her workstation, she looked at the gloomy weather outside the window.

Liu Qingning took a deep breath and silently said to herself, ”I won’t let go easily.”

She knows very well her feelings for Tang Song; how could she easily put down all those years of accumulation?

Since graduating high school, she had been planning their future and put in all her effort for it.

She also couldn’t imagine a future where she would be with another man, getting married, having children, and spending her life together.

Moreover, what Teacher Wang said could only be considered preventive advice, not necessarily a prediction.

”Qingning!” A familiar voice sounded from beside her as someone patted her shoulder. ”Not busy now, right?”

Liu Qingning quickly gathered her thoughts and turned to say, ”Not busy, what’s up, Xiaoni?”

Zhang Xiaoni whispered, ”I heard from HR that you’ve already identified a candidate for your position, is that right?”

”Yes, recommended by DJRH, extremely capable overall. I should be able to resign soon.”

”Sigh, alright then, it’s been so many years, really can’t bear to let you guys go.” Zhang Xiaoni showed a faint sorrow on her face, ”Let’s get together with a few old friends on the day you confirm your resignation.”

She was also part of the original founding team, primarily responsible for the educational content section, considered a core business position.

So she wasn’t affected this time, and to stabilize the company, her salary even got a slight increase, and her equity remained intact.

But after all, having worked together for so long, there was inevitably a feeling of shared fate in the misfortune of others.

”OK, no problem.”

Watching Zhang Xiaoni’s figure disappear, Liu Qingning shook her head helplessly.

In the beginning, five of them had partnered with a company in Imperial City to co-found Century Wisdom as technical partners.

They never had full control of the company from the beginning.

The subsequent two rounds of financing also continued to dilute their shares.

As the company’s business developed, more resources and funds had to be introduced.

Liu Qingning had actually anticipated this day, which is why she followed the team to Shen City and later proactively proposed borrowing 1.5 million to buy a house.

This wasn’t a bad thing for her.

However, after all, it’s the result of years of hard work, and there is inevitably some reluctance in her heart.

”Buzz buzz buzz—” Her phone vibrated.

[Tang Song: ”It’s Saturday, you shouldn’t be working overtime, right?”]

Seeing his message, Liu Qingning quickly typed a reply: ”Yes, finishing work at 6:30 pm. What about you, what are you doing now?”

[Tang Song: ”Me? I’m thinking about you, a lot.”]

”Such a sweet talker!” Liu Qingning murmured, unable to help her lips curling into a smile, replied, ”I’ve been thinking about you too, a lot.”

After thinking for a moment, she also sent a hug emoji.

This was totally different from her usual style.

In the past, she would at most send a shy emoji, then playfully banter with him.

But since she had already decided to come clean with him, Liu Qingning didn’t want to suppress her feelings anymore.

[Tang Song: ”A hug is most sincere in person.”]

Liu Qingning smiled, puckered her lips, and replied, ”If you have the guts, fly in front of me, and I’ll give you a big hug (giggle with hand over mouth).”

[Tang Song: ”Alright! Wait for me, I’m taking off now.”]

[Tang Song: Here comes the little plane.gif]

After chatting with Tang Song for a while, Liu Qingning’s mood gradually brightened up.

Teacher Wang’s earlier talk, as well as the sadness about her impending resignation, seemed to become insignificant.

Liu Qingning: ”Alright, I’ll handle some work now, and talk to you after I clock out.”

[Tang Song: ”Okay, I’ll wait for you (kiss).”]
