"Damn, what's going on?" Lin Hai asked in confusion.

When Fan Jian saw that it was Lin Hai who came in, he lifted his eyelids listlessly and said, "Brother Lin, good morning."

After speaking, he slumped back into his chair and continued to sit listlessly.

"What are you doing? You look totally lifeless."

Lin Hai looked at the chubby Fan Jian with puzzlement.

This guy is usually so sleazy and lively, why does he seem like he's been castrated today?

"It's nothing, just reviewing some stuff."

Fan Jian sighed.

Lin Hai didn't believe that Fan Jian was fine.

He took out a Hongmei cigarette and threw it to him.

Fan Jian caught the cigarette, lit it, and took several deep drags, his expression gloomy, his whole demeanor as if he had lost his vitality.

"What's really going on? You're a grown man, can't you speak up?"

Lin Hai asked again.

Fan Jian shook his head, clearly irritated, "Brother Lin, just drop it."

"How can I drop it? We are brothers!" Lin Hai said.

"Sigh, Brother Lin, it's family stuff, you better stay out of it." After saying this, Fan Jian sighed deeply again.

Lin Hai kicked Fan Jian on his butt, saying, "What's with all the nonsense, I can't ask about family matters? I'm still your boss at the company."

But Fan Jian remained silent.

Lin Hai noticed that the usually optimistic Fan Jian now had slightly reddened corners in his eyes!

"What exactly is going on? Tell me!" Lin Hai's tone was a bit stern.

Fan Jian shook his head, tilted his head back trying to stop the tears in his eyes from falling; he didn't want to cry in front of others.

"Are you crying? Did someone screw you over?" Lin Hai joked, attempting to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Finally, under Lin Hai's repeated questioning, Fan Jian took a deep breath, looked up to the sky, let out a long sigh, shook his head gloomily with red eyes, and said:

"Brother Lin, I always fantasized about beautiful love."

"......"

Lin Hai was speechless.

Seeing Lin Hai's gaze strangely fixating on his posterior, Fan Jian shivered all over, goosebumps all over his body as he quickly covered his butt protectively, and said in a shy yet fearful manner, "Brother Lin, your gaze is so fierce, don't tell me you're into hardcore stuff?"

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, then thumped Fan Jian on the head fiercely, saying angrily, "Am I a queer in your eyes?"

Fan Jian naively nodded.

"Damn!" Lin Hai was speechless.

"Sigh, where were we?" Fan Jian thought for a moment, then continued, "Unfortunately, I realized that reality is cruel. All that love, all those vows, they don't hold a candle to money and material things."

"If you're rich, you're the boss, you get loyal girls, and you can obtain love."

"If you're broke, you're nothing, women won't even glance at you properly."

After saying this, Fan Jian looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, biting his scruffy thick lips, the corners of his eyes brimming with tears.

Finally, Lin Hai figured it out, these words were probably the result of being hurt by a woman.

"You've always been a bachelor? Only relying on top picks at night, and now you suddenly have a girlfriend?" Lin Hai asked in surprise.

"Is it really that surprising? Can't I have a girlfriend?"

Fan Jian paused before speaking again, "I get it now, all that talk about movies being futile, or the roar of cars being a man's thing, all fake."

"I, with a heart as clear as azurite, as lightweight as paper, as dazzling as gilded, was mercilessly crushed because of being broke and dumped."

After saying that, Fan Jian once again struck a pose of speechless despair, and indecently took two harsh drags of his cigarette, until it burned close to the cotton and was too hot to hold, before awkwardly tossing the cigarette butt away.

It's clear that, although Fan Jian was a bit jocular, this time he really was heartbroken; otherwise, this kid wouldn't be spouting nonsensical stuff.

Lin Hai shook his head and sighed, "Which man hasn't been hurt by a girl he liked?"

"Fan, first love is the first test paper of love, often we think a kiss on the cheek can last forever, little do we know, some people are meant to be missed."

Fan Jian didn't speak, his expression grew even more sorrowful.

"Sometimes life is like an egg, cracked from the outside it's food, cracked from the inside it means maturity."

Lin Hai consoled, noticing that at this moment, Fan Jian's air of dejection was even more severe than his own—a will dampened by emotional setbacks.

If he can't be counseled, he might become more and more stubborn.

"Brother Lin, I can't let go in my heart."

"You can't be so disheartened, though?" Lin Hai said.

"What else can I do?" Fan Jian retorted.

"There's a fun fact about Sogou keyboard, if you type YZXC, it could either mean being disheartened or a clown."

Pausing, Lin Hai added, "So, being disheartened can make you look like a clown."

"Brother Lin, it could also turn up as inflammatory bowel disease," Fan Jian's voice floated over.

"..."

"I know, even though you seem sleazy on the surface, you're actually not the kind of person others think you are."

"So, work hard, and later on, I'll help you make big money. Then you can slap that money in that girl's face and tell her, she was aloof before, but then she won't be able to reach you."

Fan Jian shook his head: "Brother Lin, stop it, I'm upset. I'm going to Taishui Road this afternoon to formally meet her to break up and also return her stuff. Just stop; it's all too late now."

After speaking, Fan Jian, listless and staggering as if he could be blown down by the wind at any moment, seemed to have lost all his energy as he walked out of the security rest room.

Watching Fan Jian's figure retreating, Lin Hai sighed inwardly, the heartless men and opportunistic women, such relationships can often enjoy a full honeymoon period; however, when faced with mundane realities, they decay like an apple bitten and left.

After reflecting, Lin Hai suddenly felt he needed to do something.

"Taishui Road?"

Lin Hai slowly formed a plan, also left the rest room, took the elevator, and headed to President Ouyang Xiaoya's office.

"Hey? Aren't you that, that, that girl who almost kicked Fan Jian to pieces?" In the corridor of the president office, Lin Hai spotted that Ouyang Xiaoya's secretary had changed, and it was none other than the girl who claimed to have Level N in prevent perverts technique and was a Taekwondo Black Belt.

"Hey? Captain Lin, are you here for the president?" The girl also stared wide-eyed with Lin Hai.

It must be said that the girls in Ouyang Xiaoya's company are each more enticing than the last.

"I'm Murong Xue, now taking over from the former colleague, as the secretary to President Ouyang," said the girl with a voice sweet as silver bells.

"Oh, girl, I'm here for some business with the president," Lin Hai said with a smile.

"Brother Lin, the president just instructed today that if you are looking for her, you can directly enter any time, no need to report," Murong Xue said smilingly, showing her two tiger teeth and dimples.

Lin Hai gave an acknowledging nod, thrilled inside: "Holy shit, my status has indeed been upgraded, what a good omen."

Then, Beast Lin gleefully waddled into Ouyang Xiaoya's office, looking indescribably sleazy, if uninformed people saw, they might think a degenerate pervert was barging in.
