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

And this person might be Zhou Fengliu.

Feng Shayan knew Zhou Fengliu quite well; by making a few connections in the story, she roughly pieced together last night's events...

When Zhou Fengliu saw that she was about to confess her feelings, he used some kind of method to forcibly knock her unconscious, thus interrupting the spellcasting.

Ok.

This is so typical of Jay Chou...something only Jay Chou would do.

"Sis?"

Feng Xingtong's call pulled Feng Shayan back to reality from her thoughts: "Yes, I'm listening..."

"Sis, so nothing really happened last night?"

"What else do you want to happen?" Feng Shayan frowned upon hearing this, then added, "Adult matters are none of a child's business..."

"I'm thinking..."

"You're being long-winded." With that, Feng Shayan hung up the phone, leaving Feng Xingtong on the other end, bewildered in the wind.

...

Just as Feng Shayan hung up the phone, the door to the side bedroom not far away opened, and Zhou Fengliu walked out yawning. Seeing her sitting on a chair in the kitchen, he greeted her.

Good morning, Swallow.

"morning."

When Feng Shayan saw that Zhou Fengliu had stayed overnight, she was surprised for a moment, but she quickly concealed her surprise.

"last night..."

Before Feng Shayan could finish speaking, Zhou Fengliu interrupted her:

"Oh, you drank too much last night... I carried you back to your room, you're welcome."

His words silenced Feng Shayan's subsequent questions.

"Is that so..." Seeing that Zhou Fengliu had interrupted the topic, Feng Shayan didn't ask any more questions and just responded.

"Yanzi, is there anything you need to do later?" Zhou Fengliu asked when Feng Shayan remained silent.

"In a bit? I need to go to the company."

"That's perfect, I can hitch a ride, anywhere in North China is accessible..."

"Well, yes."

Feng Shayan did not refuse Zhou Fengliu's request to hitch a ride.

A moment later.

Feng Shayan drove her familiar Porsche Cayenne, preparing to take Zhou Fengliu to the North China branch of Nadutong.

In the car, Feng Shayan seemed preoccupied, and several times when Zhou Fengliu tried to talk to her, she seemed somewhat indifferent.

It wasn't a long drive from their house to the North China branch of Nationwide Telecom, and soon the Cayenne would arrive at the branch's entrance.

"Alright, just put me down here, Yanzi. Go ahead and get busy. You've worked hard."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Feng Shayan nodded, then steadily stopped the car. Watching Zhou Fengliu unbuckle his seatbelt and prepare to get out, she hesitated for a moment, then called out to him again.

"Wait a minute..."

"?"

"What's wrong, Yanzi?" Zhou Fengliu asked, puzzled.

"I had something I didn't finish saying last night..." Feng Shayan paused for a moment before continuing, "We've known each other for so long, we're quite familiar with each other, and there are some things I don't want to hide..."

"I like you."

"This time I'm serious, there's no self-interest involved... I'm not on the side of the Feng family, but speaking from my own heart."

In the end, Feng Shayan managed to utter those four short words.

Before she spoke up, she hesitated, afraid of losing him. But now that she's said it, she realizes it wasn't so hard to say after all...

"..."

Hearing Feng Shayan express her feelings, Zhou Fengliu's expression became somewhat strained...

In the end, Feng Shayan still managed to say it...

"I know you as a person. I'm not telling you this to force you to give me an answer; I'm simply expressing my feelings..."

"Whether you agree or refuse is your business, but I have to say these words... otherwise, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"After saying all this, we can still be friends like before, it won't have any impact..."

"But I hope you won't forget my confession to you today, Feng Shayan. I know you yearn for freedom and don't want to be constrained. You have your own way of life. Well, I won't disturb you from living the life you like."

"Of course, if in the future you have enough freedom and want a home, or a different lifestyle, please don't forget me..."

"I can cover for you."

Chapter 588 Then I'll Be the Child's Stepmother O_o

"I can cover for you."

Feng Shayan spoke very seriously, her eyes revealing a restrained expression as she looked at Zhou Fengliu.

Yes, she has been very restrained in controlling her emotions.

Although these words sound humble, they are only what they sound like...

As she just said, agreeing or refusing is Zhou Fengliu's own business, and speaking or remaining silent is also Feng Shayan's choice...

It's a matter of one person willing to give and the other willing to receive; there's nothing to be ashamed of.

"..."

Listening to Feng Shayan's sincere emotional outpouring, Zhou Fengliu silently swallowed.

"Yanzi, are you serious?"

"Yes." Feng Shayan nodded. "You know me; once I've made up my mind, it's absolutely not a joke..."

“Yanzi, you’re a young, unmarried woman, and the daughter of the Tianxia Society. You don’t need to back me up… Who am I? A nobody. If you’re backing me up, you’re lowering your own status.”

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Feng Shayan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes:

"A nobody? You call yourself a nobody?"

"Mr. Zhou, you're a director of Namco, the honorary principal of Tangmen Martial Arts School, the de facto head of the South China region, and you also have close ties with Nathan Island..."

"I'm lucky to be with you..."

In the world of extraordinary individuals in China—no, it should be the global circle of extraordinary individuals—Zhou Fengliu is a powerful figure whose every move can influence the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure of the world).

The World Alliance?

How many ballistic missiles can the World Society withstand?

After listening to Feng Shayan's words, Zhou Fengliu thought about it carefully and realized that they did not hold water, so he simply changed the subject:

"Let's not talk about important people... If you're going to cover for me, what if I end up playing around until I'm seventy or eighty? Wouldn't that ruin your life?" Zhou Fengliu said.

"I am willing."

Hearing Feng Shayan's reply, Zhou Fengliu remained silent.

"What if I'm divorced and have two kids?"

"Then I'll be the child's stepmother. Perfect, I won't have to give birth... It'll save me some pain. Don't worry, your child is my own... I'll raise him as my own."

puff--

Feng Shayan's straightforward reply was something Zhou Fengliu never expected.

...

Feng Shayan drove away.

Watching the Porsche Cayenne speed away, Zhou Fengliu remained silent.

What else did he say?

People can accept a divorced woman with two kids...

Swallow is really going all out.

Zhou Fengliu shook his head, putting the matter out of his mind for the time being.

how to say?

In matters of the heart, he is definitely cautious; hasty decisions will only lead to fruitless relationships... When it comes to feelings, there's no room for compromise...

He turned and walked towards the North China Nadutong branch. Before long, he arrived at the North China Nadutong branch.

Looking at the familiar work environment around me, memories of the past seem to come vividly to mind.

"Holy crap? Brother Liu, no, it's Jay Chou! Jay Chou is here."

The busy employees of Huabei Nadutong noticed Zhou Fengliu's figure. They rubbed their eyes and then came over.

Most of these people were Zhou Fengliu's former colleagues, with whom he used to joke around. Now, they addressed him differently, from "Xiao Liu" or "Brother Liu" to "Chairman Zhou"...

Ok.

When working, you should address people by their job title.

Objectively speaking, Zhou Fengliu really couldn't find fault with these old colleagues.

"What Jay Chou or not, we're all just working for the company... why are you putting on such high praise?" Zhou Fengliu was very approachable and quickly became friends with his old colleagues.

"Where are Third Brother and Fourth Brother?"

"Ah, it seems something's happened in the office again..." one of the employees said.

"Something happened?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow slightly, then walked into the warehouse and arrived at the door of the person in charge's office.

At this moment, Xu San, Xu Si, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao are all gathered in the office, as if they are about to have a small meeting.
