Chapter 51: The Next One Is Better

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After returning to the company, Jin Nian was so busy that she often forgot to eat. After lunch today, another delivery man came to the office. As expected, he was here to give Jin Nian flowers. These days, at almost the same time every day, the delivery man would send different kinds of flowers. As a result, the colleagues in the office began to look forward to what flowers they would send today. They were even more excited than Jin Nian herself.

Jin Nian, did you save the Milky Way in your life? How did you find such a good man!

The flowers of this brand are expensive. Many celebrities have posted this brands flowers on the internet. Niannian, if you become rich, dont forget your peers!

What kind of flower is this? It looks so good!

I found it. Its an Ecuador rose, and the flower language is the only true love. Tsk tsk tsk, Director Jiang is so lovey-dovey.

Director Jiang is usually a very reserved person on TV. I didnt expect him to be so clingy in private. Niannian, youre so lucky!

Jin Nian listened to everyones discussion and finally could not help but look up at everyone. She thought that as long as she kept quiet, her colleagues would gradually forget about Jiang Qingchi. However, things did not go as she wished. If she did not clarify it, others would think that she was married to Jiang Qingchi.

Taking a deep breath, Jin Nian said calmly, Jiang Qingchi didnt give me these flowers. We broke up a long time ago.

As soon as the words left his mouth, it was as if someone had dropped a bomb into a calm lake. Everyone was rendered speechless, and the office instantly fell into a strange silence. A colleague who was close to Jinnian couldnt help but ask, Did you guys fight? It wasnt easy for the two of you to get engaged. Dont be impulsive.

Theres nothing to argue about. Jiang Qingchi had an affair, so we broke up.

How could it be like this

The office wasnt big, and Jinnian did not try to avoid anyone when she spoke. Everyone heard her clearly. A few days ago, everyone was still wis.h.i.+ng Jin Nian a happy engagement, but who would have thought that something like this would happen? Most of the colleagues were born in the 2000s. They were not as old-fas.h.i.+oned as the elders when it came to relations.h.i.+ps. After a short silence, everyone congratulated Jinnian for getting away from the sc.u.mbag. They also wished her that she would find a better guy next time.

However, it was only a few words of comfort. No one could understand the feelings of the person involved. While everyone was talking, Gao Qingming, who always liked to stir up trouble, suddenly said, If the flowers werent from your ex, then who gave them?

How could Jin Nian answer? Could it be that she was going to say that the flowers were from her husband from a flash marriage? She was afraid that if everyone knew about this, she would become the topic of everyones gossip and could only play dumb.

However, Gao Qingming did not let her go. He smirked and said, I didnt expect our Niannian to be such a hot character. She just broke up with me, and now her admirers are all over her desk.

Jin Nian mimicked his sarcastic smile. Yeah, are you jealous?

You can introduce them to him too. Gao Qingming raised his eyebrows.

What a coincidence. Its not that I dont want to help you, but I dont know any gays. Jinnian remembered the gay man who was involved in a marital fraud e at the Civil Affairs Bureau and said, Ive seen a gay who committed marital fraud.

What does it have to do with me whether youve seen it or not?

Jin Nian said earnestly, Qingming, were colleagues. Let me remind you out of kindness. Dont pretend to be a straight man in the future. That man was scolded in public. It was tragic.

.. Thanks for the reminder! Gao Qingming turned around and left angrily.

Jin Nian did not want to tell her colleagues about her private matters. She had warned Lu An not to send flowers to the office again. These days, she was like a b.u.t.terfly wandering around the flowers. Whoever walked to her desk would tease her.

Lu An had been in Hong Kong for almost a week. They had just gotten married, and Jin Nian was not used to getting along with Lu An as husband and wife. In addition, she was busy with work. If Lu An had not sent her a bouquet of flowers every day, Jin Nian would have long forgotten that she had a husband.

Jin Nians reaction was also slow. Afterwards, she then asked Lu An how he knew about her companys address. Lu An beat around the bush and told her to guess on her own. If she guessed it, there would be a reward. Jin Nian was too lazy to play guessing games with him. Her workplace was not a national secret. He could easily find out the address of her company by asking Teacher Tan.

After a few busy days, Jin Nian often ordered takeout at noon and only had time to eat when it was almost time to get off work. Sometimes, she could only eat a hot meal when she got home, but her work progress was not delayed..
