Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

"There's really nothing between us..."

What do I have to say for you to believe me?

"If that's what you think... then there's nothing I can do about it."

"Fine, whatever you want..."

Even after they separated, Xia He didn't realize she was at fault, stubbornly clinging to her own ways and making mistake after mistake, ultimately pushing the original owner to her death...

Tsk tsk...

Zhou Fengliu briefly recalled fragments of his memory and couldn't help but shudder. He still couldn't convince himself otherwise; he still believed the original owner of the body was a simp...

Unrequited love seems cheap the more you invest in it; it's better to break up sooner rather than later to maintain a dignified appearance.

That level of "deep affection" is something he could never achieve. He always believed in the saying: "Without love, one is carefree; just live life to the fullest."

What love or not...

There's no such thing as that much love...

Instead of putting your love into a woman who doesn't appreciate it, put it into yourself. Loving yourself is the key.

...

hiss...

The original owner's relationship with Xia He... it just feels like a third-rate, melodramatic urban romance novel.

Zhou Fengliu thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his heart.

What? After I left...they regretted it so much, giving up the arrogant childhood sweetheart, I chose the treasure girl!

A haughty girl meets a reborn man who's become a devoted admirer... their identities are swapped, and the pursuit of her husband begins in a tumultuous process...

Gee tut.

The more Zhou Fengliu thought about it, the more he felt he should spend his money wisely, rather than on girls.

As for that thing, it's love...

I love him so much.

Earning more money and enjoying life more are the important things...

...

P.S.: I'm begging for everything, please, please. This humble author is online, sobbing.

Chapter 15 Controlling Objects? I know nothing about controlling objects! (First Update)

Just as Zhou Fengliu was pondering, Xia He downstairs had just gotten on her motorcycle. She looked up slightly at a house with its lights on and thought that Zhou Fengliu must have seen the food she had left for him.

Facing the white moonlight in her heart, she sighed, a bitter feeling rising in her heart.

Back then, she didn't understand love at all... Now, she still doesn't quite understand it; she just wants Zhou Fengliu to be safe and have a better life...

If she could, she would prefer to get closer to Zhou Fengliu, even if it was just as friends...

what is love?

Xia He thought about this question when she was young. She felt that she didn't understand it at that time, but in fact, there was always a man by her side who was interpreting what love is.

Love is standing up for her when she is bullied or isolated.

It was a boy who brought free breakfast to other children, just so they could play with her—a form of "protection." It was when she was misunderstood and falsely accused by others, yet the boy still stood by her side and supported her understanding. It was when she accidentally broke the boy's beloved possession, and he chose to forgive her...

It was something she could casually mention, something that allowed her to secretly bring fireworks to school and set them off for her; it was something that comforted her when she was wronged, something that answered her questions when she was confused...

She didn't understand love back then, but after they broke up, Xia He realized that love had always been by her side.

Xiao Zhou was just too good, so good that she took it for granted that she should accept his love... It wasn't until she lost him that she slowly realized that Xiao Zhou could also get hurt, and that he could leave her because she didn't understand love.

The night breeze was slightly cool. As Xia He rode her motorcycle, she looked at the house. She felt that the coolness was nothing compared to the chill in Zhou Fengliu's heart back then.

At that time, she...did not notice Zhou Fengliu's inner feelings at all.

As her peculiar abilities gradually emerged, she attracted more and more men, putting increasing pressure on Zhou Fengliu. However, she only felt that Zhou Fengliu was meddling in other people's business and did not notice the inferiority complex that was unconsciously growing in Zhou Fengliu's heart.

Xiao Zhou chose to protect her when she was at her most insecure and lacking in self-confidence, but she didn't stand up for Xiao Zhou when she needed her affirmation the most...

She only began to feel fear after she lost it.

She thought her little Zhou would come back, but Zhou Fengliu didn't turn around. She thought her apology would suffice, but she realized it wasn't really an apology at all; it was just stubbornness that pushed Zhou Fengliu further and further away...

Stubborn people... will push away the people they like.

She only understood this simple truth very, very late, so late that she could no longer salvage the relationship, so late that even the person who once loved her so much left filled with disappointment.

After that, she tried to apologize to Zhou Fengliu several times, but she found that Zhou Fengliu had changed and had completely given up on the relationship.

The phrase "Please, just stop looking for me, that's the most dignified thing you can do" was the last straw that brought her back to her senses.

She and Zhou Fengliu were from two different worlds now, and she shouldn't try to get close to him anymore, only to cause him more trouble...

But things are different now.

Before, they were ordinary people and extraordinary people; now, extraordinary people are interacting with extraordinary people... Zhou Fengliu used to live the life of an ordinary person; now, he is an employee of Na Du Tong Company.

Although she didn't know how Zhou Fengliu became an extraordinary person, she knew she had a reason to contact him again and the ability to protect him.

...

Xiao Zhou... no matter how stubborn you are, I will never choose to leave you...

Xia He silently said to herself that she no longer hoped to win back Zhou Fengliu's love, but she still wanted to try her best to win him back.

She put on her helmet, twisted the throttle, and as the streetlights disappeared one by one, her figure gradually vanished into the darkness.

...

The next day.

Zhou Fengliu, dressed neatly, arrived at the entrance of Nadutong Company. He entered the company gate right on time and heard the system notification that he had successfully clocked in.

What a energizing day!

He had just changed into his work clothes when he saw Xu Si waving at him.

"Xiao Zhou, come with me, I need to talk to you."

"?"

Seeing the smile on Xu Si's face, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow slightly, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

A few minutes later.

Inside the office.

Xu San and Xu Si looked at Zhou Fengliu in front of them.

"Xiao Zhou... I have an important task for you now," Xu San said with a smile, pushing up his glasses.

What kind of job?

"Do you remember what Zhang Lingyu said to Zhang Chulan last night? The Heavenly Master's Grand Ceremony, the Heavenly Master's successor... Zhang Chulan's qualification to participate." Xu Si leaned over and casually lit a cigarette as he spoke.

“I remember…” Zhou Fengliu nodded.

"Well... the task now is for you to give Zhang Chulan special training so that he can better participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony selection competition in a month," Xu Si said again.

"?"

"Me? Special training for Zhang Chulan? Fourth Brother, are you kidding me? I'm just a sorting worker, what do I know about special training?" Zhou Fengliu said, indicating that he wouldn't do such a laborious thing.

“Little Zhou… I heard from Xu Si that you possess the ability to manipulate objects?” Xu San interjected.

"Controlling objects..." Zhou Fengliu knew that Xu San and Xu Si would ask him about the origin of his methods again, so he came up with a prepared excuse: "I don't know anything about controlling objects... it's just the simple use of Qi. I don't understand the specific principles, I'm just figuring it out by guesswork..."

"Oh? Then why don't you try it out?" Xu Si asked.

“Uh…” Zhou Fengliu paused for a second, then used his internal Qi to manipulate the surrounding air and lift the ashtray on the table into the air.

"This..." Xu San raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing such a method.

Is this an imperial item?

How can you control this ashtray in just a few seconds?

It doesn't look like it...

This seems to be... supported by Qi?

Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing different emotions.

Xu Si was also a little confused at this moment. He could subtly sense that the method Zhou Fengliu was using was different from the method he used to manipulate objects last night.

"Little Zhou...you really don't have any teacher or anything?" Xu San asked tentatively.

"Would you believe me if I said it was something I dreamed about?"

"..."

Zhou Fengliu's absurd answer left Xu San and Xu Si speechless.

"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Let's get back to the point. What do you think about the special training for Zhang Chulan?" Xu Si didn't press Zhou Fengliu any further and steered the conversation back on track.

"I'm afraid... I'm not really capable, and I don't have anything to teach Zhang Chulan," Zhou Fengliu continued to refuse.

"Don't worry, you're not the only one. Baby will help you train him."

“Since we already have Bao’er, we don’t need me at all. Bao’er is very powerful, incredibly powerful,” Zhou Fengliu replied.

Chapter 16 He's a cheater! (Second Update)

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu was unmoved by reason, Xu Si didn't say anything more. He silently stretched out his right hand and made a "three".

Xu Si: "???"

Zhou Fengliu: "?"

"Triple pay." Xu Si chuckled at Zhou Fengliu. "You'll get triple pay every day for the month you spend training Zhang Chulan. How about that?"
