Zhutian Films: Starting with the Story of Roses

Huang Yimei was furious. She hadn't expected her brother to be so slow to process information. She had given him such subtle hints, but Huang Zhenhua still hadn't caught on.

He kept urging Huang Yimei to go find Chen Yang.

"If I went directly to Brother Chen Yang, would I have needed to invite you to dinner? Really!" Rose's indirect approach this time did not succeed.

What troubled Huang Yimei the most was not that she couldn't express her feelings, but that she couldn't be sure if Chen Yang had romantic feelings for her.

Huang Yimei has always been as proud as a swan, boasting that her charm has nowhere to go, and no matter what kind of man she is facing, she will always take the initiative.

This time, however, is the most unusual case.

After returning home that day, she tossed and turned in bed, pondering the question: "Does Chen Yang actually like me?"

"What should I do if he really only sees me as the girl next door?"

That's love—it brings both joy and trouble.

The next room.

Huang Zhenhua dialed Chen Yang's number: "How's my sister doing at your company lately? I've noticed she seems a bit distracted these past few days."

Chen Yang truthfully informed her that Huang Yimei was doing a great job as Qingting's assistant, and that if nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to become a full-time employee in two months.

"Cough cough."

"Well, that's it."

"How is Bai Xiaohe doing lately?"

Huang Zhenhua's real intention was not what he was talking about. After briefly chatting about Huang Yimei, he steered the conversation to Bai Xiaohe, wanting to know about her recent situation.

Huang Zhenhua had previously heard from his sister that Bai Xiaohe often went to Qingting Company to deliver meals to Chen Yang, which inevitably left Huang Zhenhua with mixed feelings.

"Bai Xiaohe? She went on a long trip a couple of days ago and hasn't come back yet. I reckon we should hear from her in the next couple of days."

"Chen Yang, you two..." Huang Zhenhua didn't finish his sentence. If Chen Yang really got together with Bai Xiaohe, he would just silently wish them well.

Chen Yang laughed and said, "We're not quite a couple yet."

The two chatted about their recent situations. Huang Zhenhua told Chen Yang that Zhou Shihui had chosen to resign from the architecture institute and was currently living a muddled life.

"He wanted to get back together with Rosamund Kwan, but he found that all his contact methods had been blocked by her, and his girlfriends were keeping their distance from him."

"I heard that Rosamund Kwan seems to be planning to leave Beijing and develop her career elsewhere."

Chen Yang has indeed not been in contact with Guan Zhizhi recently. He did send her messages before, but they all went unanswered, so Chen Yang did not choose to bother Guan Zhizhi.

The main issue is that their relationship is somewhat special; they became intimate shortly after meeting, and Guan Zhizhi doesn't know how to face Chen Yang anymore.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Yang was pushed down by her that time, Guan Zhizhi would probably have deleted all of Chen Yang's contact information and completely cut off all contact.

After talking with Huang Zhenhua, Chen Yang thought about it and decided to talk to Guan Zhizhi. He dialed Guan Zhizhi's number.

—Beep~Beep~Beep~

The call went unanswered for a moment, and Chen Yang waited patiently. Just before the operator's voice prompt was about to sound, the call was finally connected.

Chen Yang said, "It's me."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Guan Zhizhi finally spoke, "Is something wrong?"

"I heard you're leaving Beijing?"

"Yes."

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask how you've been. How have you been lately?"

"fine."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "What a cold woman! I'll sing for you next time if there's a chance. Next time, you can sing a more cheerful song."

Hearing Chen Yang's voice, Guan Zhizhi recalled the short but unforgettable time they spent together, and her voice finally softened: "Okay."

Guan Zhizhi confided in Chen Yang about her future plans, saying that she would be moving to Shanghai to develop her career: "Before, I focused all my attention on other people."

"I completely ignored myself and thanked Zhou Shihui for not marrying me. Chen Yang, you were right before, it is indeed a good thing."

"If we actually get married and problems arise then, the blow to me will probably be even greater."

Having learned a painful lesson, Guan Zhizhi finally woke up and decided to start afresh in a new place.

"Chen Yang".

"I hope that when we meet again, I will be stronger, more independent, and more poised."

"And also... you're not allowed to flirt with my girlfriends in Beijing."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "You can rest assured about that. I will wait for you quietly."

"Tch, I don't believe you. I'm hanging up." Guan Zhizhi hung up the phone, chuckled to herself, and muttered, "I hope you're doing well."

She began to hum softly the song "A Dream".

"If I had known it would be like this, like a dream, why would I have kept my tears locked in my eyes?"

"Let you go crazy, let you be wild, let you be strong in a place without me."

Rosamund Kwan still chose to go to Shanghai alone, to start anew in a new environment.

Chen Yang had intended to see her off, but Guan Zhizhi refused, saying, "Come on, why are you being so dramatic? Go do your own thing."

On the day of departure, Zhou Shihui received the news and even chased after her to the airport. He seemed heartbroken and knelt in front of Guan Zhizhi, crying with tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Zhizhi."

"Don't go!"

"How can I live without you!"

This was the first time Guan Zhizhi had examined Zhou Shihui from the most objective perspective since their breakup. At this moment, she felt no pleasure, only a sense of estrangement.

She had no idea why she had liked Zhou Shihui for seven years.

Guan Zhizhi smiled and said, "How you live is none of my business, Zhou Shihui. Let's just pretend we've never met. That's for the best."

"I also want to thank you. Without you, I would have lived my whole life in a daze."

"Never again."

Huang Zhenhua pulled his heartbroken friend away, saying, "Sigh, if only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Divorcing your wife is fun for a moment, but chasing her back is like going to an airport.

......

"Mr. Chen."

"The job posting has already been sent out."

"Do you have any other requirements?"

Jiang Xueqiong's secretary approached Chen Yang and presented the detailed recruitment information for his personal review. Chen Yang glanced at it briefly and said, "No other requirements."

"Let Supervisor Su handle the interviews."

The secretary nodded: "Yes, Mr. Chen."

The secretary had just left the office when Han Ying walked in. Assistant Han looked at Chen Yang with a somber expression and said, "From now on, I won't be able to be your assistant anymore."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "Being an assistant is certainly good, but helping the company expand into new areas will open up even more possibilities for you."

"Every assistant does the same job, but their work styles are completely different."

Han Ying bit her lip and nodded. She knew that she was very different to President Chen.
