Back at Silver Star Securities, Liu Qi informed me that since it was Feng Hongyang who intervened previously, I needed to complete the remaining internship period at Zhuo Ling Capital.
Early Wednesday morning, I reported to Zhuo Ling Capital. The HR manager, as before, assigned me a workstation right next to Li Xin's.
"Jiang Yuan, you'll sit here from now on," she said.
I nodded, "Okay."
Not long after I sat down, Feng Hongyang walked in. Li Xin immediately went up to him and followed him into the office.
Soon, Feng Hongyang's voice echoed from his office: "Notify everyone that there will be a meeting in ten minutes."
Upon hearing this, Li Xin quickly went to inform the others.
Ten minutes later, everyone entered the conference room one after another. As an intern, I was not eligible to attend the meeting.
The meeting lasted about two hours, and afterward, everyone gradually came out. Feng Hongyang was the last to leave; he held a notebook and flipped through it while walking back to his office.
As he passed by me, he paused for a moment and turned to look at me. I noticed him and met his gaze.
Our eyes locked; he squinted slightly but said nothing and walked into his office. Once he closed the door, I shifted my gaze away.
Li Xin approached and tapped my desk: "Jiang Yuan, check the flights to Haicheng for this Friday and let me know."
I nodded, "Okay."
After checking the flight information, I sent it to Li Xin. She quickly replied: "Let's book the flight for Friday evening."
I booked the ticket and informed her: "It's all set."
Li Xin did not reply further.
On Friday afternoon, I flew to Haicheng. Li Xin had already arranged everything in advance; upon landing, I headed straight to the signing ceremony venue.
Tomorrow morning, Zhuo Ling Capital will hold a signing ceremony and press conference with a local medical company. By the time I arrive at the venue, the arrangements and distribution of materials have already been completed by the organizers. In other words, the tasks arranged by Li Xin do not require my involvement at all. I am happy to relax and sit aside playing on my phone.
The signing ceremony is scheduled for 9:30 AM. On Zhuo Ling's side, Feng Hongyang is present in person. I watch as Feng Hongyang sits in the center of the stage, with the head of the medical company beside him. The signing ceremony is quite simple; both representatives sign the agreement, shake hands, and take photos.
To my surprise, it is not Feng Hongyang who speaks on behalf of Zhuo Ling, but a man named Jin Guodong. After the ceremony concludes, Feng Hongyang takes a few short interviews with the media. I watch from a distance as the reporters' questions are very formal, and Feng Hongyang answers them flawlessly.
Just as the interview is about to end, Li Xin suddenly calls out to me: "Jiang Yuan, come here." I walk over and ask, "Sister Xin, what’s up?" Li Xin leans in close to my ear and whispers, "Help Mr. Feng adjust his tie."
I pause for a moment and turn to look at Feng Hongyang. He looks at me with a slight frown and says, "What are you standing there for?" Realizing what I need to do, I walk over to him and reach out to touch his tie. Feng Hongyang lowers his head to make it easier for me.
I stand on my tiptoes to loosen the tie and re-tie it. However, due to my lack of skill, I struggle several times without getting it right. Feng Hongyang grows somewhat impatient: "Do you even know how to do this?" My hand shakes, making the knot look even worse.
Feng Hongyang glares at me and directly takes off the tie, tossing it to me: "Forget it, go home and practice slowly." Holding the tie in my hands, I feel a bit dazed. The reporters are watching us with surprised expressions. Feng Hongyang looks at them calmly and says, "Continue."
Only then do the reporters return their attention to their questions, and the interview quickly comes to an end as they leave.
I held the tie and walked up to Li Xin: "Sister Xin, I've completed my task. Can I leave now?"
Li Xin looked at me with a half-smile: "Leave? The banquet hasn't started yet."
I frowned: "There's still a banquet?"
"Of course," Li Xin replied with a smile, "You're Mr. Feng's assistant, and you need to stay with him until the end tonight."
I pursed my lips, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister Xin, can I skip it?"
"Why?" Li Xin asked me.
I paused and replied, "I'm not really fond of those kinds of occasions."
Upon hearing this, Li Xin patted my shoulder: "It's okay, you can just sit next to Mr. Feng; you don't have to do anything."
I blinked: "Really?"
"Of course it's true," Li Xin chuckled, "Don't worry, with Mr. Feng around, no one will dare to make things difficult for you."
I thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright then."
The banquet was scheduled for six-thirty.
I followed Feng Hongyang into the banquet hall and sat next to him.
Feng Hongyang chatted with others while introducing me: "This is my assistant, Jiang Yuan."
"Miss Jiang is so young." "Miss Jiang is really beautiful."...
I smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
After chatting for a while, everyone started eating.
Feng Hongyang continued talking with the person next to him and didn't pay attention to me.
I was happy to relax and quietly enjoyed my meal.
By the time we finished eating, it was already eight-thirty.
The banquet finally ended, and I followed Feng Hongyang out of the banquet hall and got into the car.
Li Xin sat in the passenger seat while Feng Hongyang and I sat in the back.
As the car drove away, I gazed out at the passing scenery, lost in thought.
After a while, Feng Hongyang's voice broke the silence: "Since you're here this time, is there anywhere special you want to go?"
I snapped back to reality and shook my head: "No."
Feng Hongyang turned to look at me: "No?"
I nodded: "Mm."
Feng Hongyang raised an eyebrow: "I remember you're from Yuncheng University; how did you end up interning in Beicheng?"
"I want to change the environment." I casually found a reason.
Feng Hongyang narrowed his eyes: "Is that so?"
I nodded: "Yes."
Feng Hongyang looked at me, his gaze sharp: "Is it not to avoid me?"
I met his gaze, my expression calm: "Mr. Feng, you are overthinking."
Feng Hongyang stared at me for a moment, then chuckled lightly: "It better be that way."
I lowered my eyes and said nothing.
Feng Hongyang also remained silent.
The car cabin fell quiet.
After a while, the car stopped in front of the hotel.
Feng Hongyang and I got out and walked into the hotel.
Arriving at the door of my room, I took out the room card to unlock it.
Feng Hongyang was staying right across from me.
I opened the door and turned to look at him: "Mr. Feng, good night."
Feng Hongyang looked at me and smiled: "Good night."
I pressed my lips together, entered the room, and closed the door.
...
The next morning, I got up, finished washing up, and went down to the restaurant.
Feng Hongyang was already in the restaurant; he was sitting by the window reading a newspaper.
I walked over and greeted him: "Mr. Feng, good morning."
Feng Hongyang glanced up at me: "Morning."
I sat down across from him, picked up a piece of bread, and spread some jam on it.
Feng Hongyang continued reading the newspaper, ignoring me.
After finishing my breakfast, I wiped my mouth: "Mr. Feng, I'm done; please enjoy your meal."
Feng Hongyang didn't look up: "Mm."
I stood up and turned to leave.
Li Xin had arranged my task for today—taking a walk in the commercial street of downtown Shanghai.
I stepped outside and wandered aimlessly down the street.
The street was bustling with people coming and going, cars flowing like a river. I stood by the roadside, watching the vibrant scene before me, and suddenly thought of my past self.
That summer during my sophomore year, I came to Haicheng for a summer job. Because I couldn't speak the local dialect and had no work experience, I could only find a job at a fast-food restaurant. During lunchtime, the store was very busy; I had to do the work of more than ten people and could only eat lunch after an hour. At my most exhausted moment, I stood at the kitchen door, feeling like I was about to faint. But now, looking at the prosperity before me, it felt like a lifetime ago.
As evening approached, I walked back along the street. Passing by a square, I saw a long bench nearby and walked over to sit down and rest. At the other end of the bench sat a few high school students. They seemed to be discussing something interesting and were laughing happily. Sitting beside them, I listened to their laughter, and my mood lifted as well.
After a while, a tall boy suddenly turned to look at me. Our eyes met, and he blinked; his face suddenly turned red. He quickly lowered his head and said something to his companions. They looked over and then began to tease him. The boy was pushed a few times by them before he stood up and walked toward me.
He approached me, scratched his head, and said, "Excuse me, can I ask you for a favor?"
I looked at him and asked, "What is it?"
The boy hesitated for a moment before saying, "Um, can we add each other as friends?"
I paused for a moment and realized—I was being flirted with. Seeing the nervous look on his face, I suddenly felt playful.
I raised an eyebrow and asked, "How old are you, kid?"
The boy was taken aback, his face turning even redder. "I'm eighteen."
"Eighteen," I nodded. "So you should be in your senior year of high school now?"
He nodded in agreement.
I smiled slightly and said, "Then don't you think you should focus on your studies right now?"
The boy took a moment and said, "I'm really good at studying. You can ask them if you don't believe me."
As he spoke, he pointed to his friends behind him.
I followed his gaze and saw the boys nodding in agreement.
I smiled and turned my attention back to the boy's face, "So what?"
The boy was taken aback for a moment, "…What?"
I stood up and looked at him, "What does your academic performance have to do with me?"
The boy was stunned again, "…"
I chuckled softly and turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, the boy's voice came from behind, "Sister, which university are you from?"
I stopped and looked back at him, "What do you want?"
The boy hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Just tell me which university you're from. If I get into that university, will you go on a date with me?"
I blinked and suddenly became interested, "Sure."
The boy's eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"
I smirked, "Of course."
The boy was overly excited, "Great! Then tell me which university you're from!"
"Well..." I looked at him and smiled sweetly, "You guess."
The boy: "…"
Seeing his flustered expression made me unable to hold back my laughter.
Noticing this, the boy's expression changed, "Sister, are you messing with me?"
I wiped the smile off my face and looked at him, "Kid, you talk too much."
With that, I turned to leave.
After walking a few steps, I heard the boy's voice behind me: "I will definitely find you!"
Hearing that made my mood lift.
It turns out that venting malice on others can be such a delightful thing.
...
That night, just after I finished showering, my phone rang.
I picked it up; it was Li Xin calling.
I answered the phone, "Sister Xin."
Li Xin's voice came through: "Jiang Yuan, Mr. Feng is drunk. You should come take care of him."
I frowned, "Me?"
"Yes," Li Xin said and hung up the phone.
I looked at my phone, sighed, put on my coat, and went out.
When I arrived at Feng Hongyang's room, I knocked on the door.
Feng Hongyang's voice came from inside: "Come in."
I pushed the door open and walked in.
Feng Hongyang was sitting on the sofa, reeking of alcohol.
He looked at me with a calm expression: "Come here."
I walked over and sat down across from him.
Feng Hongyang squinted his eyes: "Did I tell you to sit down?"
I pressed my lips together and stood up.
Feng Hongyang stared at me for a moment before speaking: "Help me tie my tie."
I frowned, "Huh?"
Feng Hongyang raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean, 'huh'?"
I blinked and replied, "I can't."
"Can't?" Feng Hongyang chuckled, "You couldn't yesterday, and you still can't today?"
"I..."
"Enough." Feng Hongyang impatiently interrupted me, "I'll teach you."
Saying this, he picked up the tie and shoved it into my hands.
I held the tie, feeling a bit confused.
Feng Hongyang looked at me with an impatient expression: "What are you dawdling for?"
I pressed my lips together, walked in front of him, and reached out to touch his collar.
Feng Hongyang was impatient: "Hurry up."
