Qian Xiaoke felt that Chairman Cheng looked at him strangely. He didn’t dare say another word and ran out of his office.

       Cheng Sen sent a WeChat message to Jiang Tongyan: The ID card has been returned.

       He didn’t say much else; not knowing the relationship between the two, he had no intention of stirring the pot. Happily remaining an outsider, he found it quite amusing to watch the drama unfold and listen to the gossip.

       Jiang Tongyan had just arrived home when he received the message, feeling overwhelmed. He glanced at Cheng Sen’s message, ignored it, and headed straight into the bathroom after taking off his clothes.

       While taking a shower, Jiang Tongyan looked down at himself and felt hopeless in life.

       He was still very anxious, even though he kept telling himself it was just a temporary setback and that things would be better next time, definitely better. But when he said this to himself, there was a deep sense of unease.

       The next time hadn’t happened yet—who could guarantee there would definitely be a next time?

       The troubled Jiang Tongyan went straight to bed after his shower. He was exhausted. Who knows—maybe after a good night’s sleep, he’d wake up with a morning wood.

       However, he did not have morning wood, mainly because he was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of his sleep.

       Jiang Tongyan often had dreams, a case of ‘what you think about during the day, you dream about at night’. From time to time, he would dream of himself being chased by work—at a speed fast enough to qualify for the Olympic sprinting events.

       However, this dream was obviously more lethal than those about work because he dreamed of a guy named Qian Xiaoke.

       In the dream, the guy was wearing his shirt, which was obviously one size larger. He sat on the bed and smiled at him while playing with the teddy bear’s c0ck and giggling, ‘Hehe, hehe, hehe’.

       The smile was nothing short of mocking, and chilling to the bone.

       In the dream, Jiang Tongyan could not think about why the teddy bear had a human c0ck. He just felt that Qian Xiaoke’s smile was asking for a beating, but he did not dare to beat him because he had dirt on him—he knew that he was impotent.

       However, Jiang Tongyan also had a temper. Even in a dream, he could not stand this grievance.

       Finally, he was irritated by Qian Xiaoke, who was like a repeater, and pointed at him and cursed, “Hehe hehe, my foot!”

       As soon as he finished cursing, Qian Xiaoke stopped laughing and started repeating: impotence, impotence, impotence…

       Then Jiang Tongyan woke up in shock.

       The moment he opened his eyes, Jiang Tongyan felt like he had survived a disaster and thought it was fortunate that it was a dream.

       However, the next second, he suddenly realised that Qian Xiaoke was a dream, but his impotence problem was real.

       He was a successful and mature young talent, but in the middle of the night, he felt so aggrieved that he planned to close his heart and love again.

       He was the one who had always taken initiative before, but this time, he was passive.

       He didn’t dare to love anymore; after all, he might not be able to give others happiness and pleasure.

       It was so fvcking sad.

       Jiang Tongyan was dying of anger.

       Just like that, after waking up, he couldn’t sleep anymore, so Jiang Tongyan simply got up to work.

       He was busy with work, and by the time he finished the urgent tasks, it was already morning.

       Morning wood was definitely not an option.

       Jiang Tongyan stood on the balcony, taking deep breaths. He felt that he couldn’t think about it any longer, or he would eventually become depressed. Maybe if he relaxed a bit, things would get better on their own someday.

       Jiang Tongyan changed into sportswear and went out for a run. When he returned, he drank a cup of coffee, had some breakfast, and opened the file that Cheng Sen had sent him before.

       He was now torn between going back or not.

       If he went back, there would not only be Shen Huiming, the ‘love obstacle’, but also Qian Xiaoke, the ‘executioner’. He suddenly realised that he might need to have fortune-telling because it was obvious that this was fate playing tricks on him.

       ====

       Qian Xiaoke’s life went on as usual, except for the occasional moments when he would stare blankly at the small red circle on the calendar pinned to the wall.

       If…

       Oh my…

       There were no ifs in life.

       He continued to embrace life and work with enthusiasm every day, answering calls, greeting guests, and handling deliveries with passion. He thought his life would proceed in this orderly manner forever—without surprises, without accidents, without promotions or salary increases, and without encountering love around the corner.

       However, life was far more interesting than he thought, and God was far more naughty than he thought.

       Almost half a month after losing half of his virginity, on a Monday morning, Qian Xiaoke heard a gossip when he arrived at the company. Two girls in the sales department said while making coffee in the tea room, “I saw Chairman Cheng yesterday, coming out of the hotel with a random man!”

       Another girl was shocked, “Cheating? How could he betray our lady boss!”

       The so-called lady boss was naturally Zhou Mo.

       The relationship between the two had never been a secret in their company, and because Zhou Mo was very good at socialising, he got along very well with many employees in the company. He often bought food and gifts for everyone, which made him very popular.

       “I have always thought that our Chairman Cheng is a decent person, without seeing it with my own eyes, I can’t conclude it.”

       “That’s true.”

       The two were silent momentarily and then sighed, “Oh dear!”

       Qian Xiaoke frowned when he heard it.

       Zhou Mo was his good friend. If Cheng Sen really cheated, he must tell Zhou Mo as soon as possible.

       But how to say it?

       Qian Xiaoke had no experience in reporting!

       He was so worried that he even started to pull his hair.

       Just when he was pulling his hair anxiously, he received a call from Cheng Sen.

       “Xiaoke, go to my office and wash the tea set, then brew some tea. I’ll be bringing a guest over later.”

       “Okay!” There was no evidence proving that Cheng Sen cheated, so Qian Xiaoke still had to respect him.

       After he agreed, he ran to wash the tea set. While washing, he wondered if Cheng Sen and Zhou Mo would break up and if he would have to change his job. After all, this job was found through the backdoor!

       He was a little sad; God knew how much he liked this job.

       After washing the tea set, Qian Xiaoke began to make the tea. The first step was to rinse the tea leaves.

       When he walked out with the cup, he almost bumped into someone when he turned around. When he looked up again, he was shocked.

       At this moment, their Chairman Cheng was standing in front of him with a tall and handsome man. The man saw him, frowned, and said in surprise, “Little liar?”

       Qian Xiaoke panicked. At this moment, he felt that he might really be in a tragedy. He didn’t meet love at the corner but met his mortal enemy.

       Could Jiang Tongyan come to seek revenge on him? Thinking of this, Qian Xiaoke was scared as if struck by lightning and his soul left his body.

       However, Qian Xiaoke was smart after all, and his soul was out of his body for only a few seconds. He reacted quickly and pretended not to know the other party. He said very earnestly, “Hello, Chairman Cheng, hello guest!”

       After that, he turned sideways and leaned against the wall to leave, “I’ll make tea now!”

       He ran away and prepared to find someone else to make tea for him.

       Jiang Tongyan stood there, staring at Qian Xiaoke’s back with a sharp gaze and began to grind his teeth.

       Cheng Sen, watching the commotion with amusement, then pretended to know nothing and said, “Do you remember him? The one whose ID card you returned last time.”

       Jiang Tongyan took a deep breath.

       “He doesn’t seem to remember you though.” Cheng Sen fanned the flames there, “But it’s normal. Qian Xiaoke is usually heartless and his memory is not very good.”

       Don’t remember me?

       Jiang Tongyan was instantly furious.

       He didn’t expect to meet Qian Xiaoke here. He had sent Qian Xiaoke’s ID card to Cheng Sen just to let him pass it on. He didn’t know that this guy worked here.

       If he knew, he would never come.

       No.

       Jiang Tongyan calmed down and suddenly had an idea.

       “Oh, I’d forgotten about him until you mentioned it.” Jiang Tongyan also began to pretend to lose his memory, “He is an insignificant person. Let’s not talk about him. This project should be my last project in my old company. You have to keep an eye on it for me.”

       “Don’t worry.” Cheng Sen took him into the office and asked Jiang Tongyan to sit down.

       Jiang Tongyan chatted with Cheng Sen about work, but the guy who made tea didn’t return. He couldn’t help but ask, “So that, what does that Qian Xiaoke do here?”

       Cheng Sen laughed, “Didn’t you say he was an insignificant person? Why are you suddenly interested in him?”

       “Who is interested in him?” Jiang Tongyan coughed and said, “I was just thinking that he is too ugly and an eyesore.”

       After saying that, he saw Qian Xiaoke return with the tea, looking dejected, with his eyes nearly rolling up to the sky.

       So, really, you shouldn’t speak ill of others behind their backs. It’s better to be straightforward and open.
