Go ahead and spew your insults!

Seeing that Duan Jiabao didn't seem to care, Jiang Xiaoguo sprayed some of her perfume on her phone, then smelled it. A faint fragrance wafted up, and she smiled, "It smells wonderful!"

"Would you like to smell it?"

"No!" Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao couldn't help but take two steps back in unison.

Chapter 301 Chance Encounter

Putting her phone in her pocket, Jiang Xiaoguo said while putting on her coat, "Okay, I'll talk to you later, I have to go to the company."

"Today I have to do an interview with Sister Yi, the boss of Yi Xian Company. I must get a permanent position this time, it's the most important item on my college wish list."

"Really? Good luck!"

"Good luck!"

"Okay, I'm off!"

"Bye-Bye!"

......

In the morning, after spending half a day following Sister Yi, Jiang Xiaoguo finally managed to interview the boss of Yixian Company, which made her very excited.

In front of the company building, Jiang Xiaoguo got out of the car and watched Sister Yi drive away. She quickly twisted her ankle and walked to the side of the road. She took out a pair of flat shoes that she had packed earlier from her backpack, put them on the ground, and changed out of her high heels.

Having just started her career, she wasn't used to wearing high heels, and by the end of the morning, she had developed blisters on her ankles and had to wear several bandages.

However, just as she finished changing her shoes, a somewhat familiar voice rang out: "Jiang Xiaoguo, what a coincidence!"

Jiang Xiaoguo turned around in disbelief and saw that it was her first love, Jiang Dachuan. She quickly kicked her high heels aside, put on flat shoes, and put on a demure and proper appearance.

"Da Chuan, what a coincidence! It's been so long!"

Li Mu looked her up and down: "It has been a long time. It's been about two years since we broke up."

Looking at Zhao Dachuan, whose demeanor was steady and mature, completely different from what she remembered, Jiang Xiaoguo felt a little flustered and stammered, "Yes...yes! In the blink of an eye, it's been two years since we last saw each other."

The two started dating in their first year of high school and continued their long-distance relationship until they went to university. Two years ago, however, the relationship became unsustainable, ending with Zhao Dachuan cheating on her.

Thinking of this, and looking at Zhao Dachuan, who had an extraordinary temperament and was becoming more and more charming, Jiang Xiaoguo felt a little indignant.

"Da Chuan, what brings you to Shenzhen?"

Li Mu said, "I came here to broaden my horizons. As a window to the outside world, Shenzhen has developed quite well in recent years, and the policies it offers are quite good. Especially the support policies for young people and entrepreneurs, I've come to try my luck!"

Jiang Xiaoguo was taken aback and asked, "You want to start a business?"

Li Mu said, "I'm still considering it, and haven't made a decision yet?"

Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Where's your girlfriend? Is she here too?"

According to his memory, Li Mu learned that after a year of long-distance relationship, Zhao Dachuan met a girl from the same school and then cheated on Jiang Xiaoguo with him.

Before coming to Shenzhen, his relationship with his current girlfriend had also come to an end, and they broke up. This was one of the reasons why he came to Shenzhen to make a living.

He smiled and said, "We've already broken up."

Jiang Xiaoguo was taken aback. She had been heartbroken for a long time after being cheated on. Looking at her ex-boyfriend, who was now more mature, stable, and charming than before, Jiang Xiaoguo silently cursed him as a "scumbag."

For some reason, I suddenly felt happy.

"How were they divided?"

Li Mu said, "If it's not a good match, then break up! We dated for four years back then, and we still broke up."

When the topic of what happened back then came up, Jiang Xiaoguo felt somewhat indignant, but she didn't want to appear petty.

"Back then, you were the one who initiated the breakup. I thought you two could stay together forever! But you broke up."

"Sigh!" He made a sighing gesture, but he was in a good mood.

Li Mu smiled and said, "I want to apologize for what happened back then. However, it is indeed very difficult to maintain a long-distance relationship."

"Especially for people like us, who are thousands of miles apart and can only see each other a few times a year."

Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to refute, but her mind was in a mess and she didn't know how to start. What Zhao Dachuan said did seem to make sense.

Their relationship was like playing house. They developed feelings for each other in the first year of high school and continued until their senior year. They only held hands and were nothing like the crazy, life-or-death romance novels.

After the college entrance examination, Zhao Dachuan's results were not good, and he barely got into a local second-tier university. Jiang Xiaoguo, on the other hand, had good results and studied finance at South China University of Finance and Economics.

The saying goes that one exam determines one's fate. Two clueless young lovers were directly separated by the college entrance examination.

Despite not breaking up and despite Jiang Xiaoguo's willingness to maintain the long-distance relationship, Zhao Dachuan still failed. This was partly due to the long-distance relationship, but also partly due to his inferiority complex.

I'm studying at a second-tier university in my small hometown. My family is ordinary, and I'm just an ordinary person. I can see my future clearly. The other person is an excellent student, studying in a first-tier city. They receive scholarships every year and have a bright future.

Facing Jiang Xiaoguo, Zhao Dachuan felt inferior and uneasy, fearing that one day she would break up with him, and that such an unstable long-distance relationship would hardly last.

The breakup was a natural progression.

Perhaps his new girlfriend isn't as outstanding as Jiang Xiaoguo, but being able to spend every day with her makes him feel at ease.

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's been two years. How have you been?"

Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly perked up; she couldn't let the other person outdo her. As the one who was cheated on, she wanted Zhao Dachuan to know that she was doing better after the breakup.

He pointed to the building next door: "I work at 'Financial Scene' right now, in this building."

For Jiang Xiaoguo, working at "Financial Scene," a well-known financial magazine in Shenzhen, is a great honor.

Li Mu smiled, fulfilling her psychological needs.

"Not bad, Xiaoguo. Financial Live has a certain reputation in China. You've already joined this company before you even graduated. You're really outstanding."

Jiang Xiaoguo smiled shyly.

"It's nothing. I'm still in my internship and still considering whether to choose the on-site financial program or an offer from another company. It's such a hassle."

Then, he quickly changed the subject.

"You're doing great! You're actually starting your own business?"

Li Mu said, "There's nothing I can do. I can't compare to you. My education isn't good enough, so I can't find a good job. I can only try starting my own business."

Jiang Xiaoguo was even happier.

"I see! I think you should get a job first and gain more experience. Starting your own business is too difficult."

Li Mu smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. I will consider it."

He took out his phone and said, "Let's add each other back on WeChat. I remember I promised to treat you to a big meal, but I haven't kept my promise yet. Let me fulfill that promise sometime when I have time."

Jiang Xiaoguo exclaimed "Ah!" and hurriedly pulled her phone out of her pocket.

"well!"

“Come on, scan me!” Li Mu said.

The two scanned the QR code on the business card and added each other as friends again.

Li Mu looked at Jiang Xiaoguo's phone and recalled a scene from the drama.

He chuckled and said, "Hey, Xiaoguo, this iPhone 5 looks like the one I bought for you in the second year of high school. You're still using it?"

Jiang Xiaoguo's face turned a little red. She had just been showing off how well she was doing, but she was still using a cell phone that was five or six years old.

He hurriedly said, "Ah... I... five is my lucky number, and my new iPhone is charging in the office!"

"Oh, is that so? I thought you were just nostalgic!"

Jiang Xiaoguo chuckled awkwardly, "It's also because of nostalgia."

Fearing Li Mu would ask more questions, he quickly said, "I...I have to go now, I'll keep in touch via WeChat, bye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

Watching Jiang Xiaoguo turn and leave, Li Mu noticed the pair of high heels lying on the ground.

Are the shoes yours?

Jiang Xiaoguo blushed, lowered her head and ran over to pick up her shoes, a slightly embarrassed smile on her face.

"Thank you, I...I...I'm leaving."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Goodbye. Take care of your feet. If high heels are uncomfortable, don't wear them."

Jiang Xiaoguo grunted in response and ran off in a panic.

Li Mu smiled faintly, turned around and headed towards the subway station.

(I've been binge-watching this show for over two days, and I just finished the first season of "Twenty Your Life On". I've watched a bit of the second season, but I probably won't need the plot details, so I'm not watching anymore.)

Chapter 302 Hostels and Trade

Taking the subway back to the hostel where he was temporarily staying, Zhao Dachuan was not born into a wealthy family; he came from an ordinary one.

I only had a little over two thousand yuan on me when I came to Shenzhen this time.

Given the high cost of living in Shenzhen, this money won't last long. If they can't find a suitable job during this period, they'll have to slink back home.

This explains why Zhao Dachuan reacted with such surprise, envy, and admiration when he learned that Jiang Xiaoguo worked in the financial sector. For him, working for such a company was truly a dream come true.
