Since the day after the Little New Year, Zhang Yang's home has been constantly busy, with matchmakers from nearby villages coming every day to arrange matches. Zhang Yang himself isn't anxious, but his parents are quite concerned about his marriage, so they were constantly discussing it before and after meals.

It's his own parents' request, so what can Zhang Yang do?

He's quite helpless, unable to refuse, so he can only brace himself and go through various matchmaking dates.

After being accustomed to the luxury of the outside world, having eaten sea cucumbers and abalones, returning to the village and eating corn buns, he's understandably picky, and the result is predictable.

Finally, the Spring Festival arrived, and the matchmaking came to a temporary halt. Zhang Yang could truly relax and enjoy the leisurely time at home during the Spring Festival.

...

Compared to the leisure of Zhang Yang, Lin Nianwei's New Year was not so comfortable.

Just after midnight on New Year's Eve, Lin Nianwei eagerly sent Zhang Yang a New Year's greeting via text. However, Zhang Yang went to bed early and didn't reply until the next morning, which made the young girl quite upset, and she felt dispirited on the first day of the New Year.

As for Zhang Yang, ever since exchanging contact information with Lin Nianwei, they've had some private contact. Most of the conversations were initiated by Lin Nianwei, with Zhang Yang occasionally teasing when he was free.

But despite his usual leisure, Zhang Yang's time management isn't consistent. Sometimes he's chatting on WeChat one moment, and busy with other things the next, disappearing for hours without a sign, making the young girl feel anxious.

Lin Nianwei, outstanding since college, has always been a prominent figure in school, admired wherever she goes. Having seen many excellent boys, she usually has high standards for boyfriends.

But these so-called principles and bottom lines didn't seem to apply to Zhang Yang, like tofu meeting brine, better matched by something to tackle something else, and no longer effective.

During several chats where Zhang Yang disappeared mid-conversation, making her extremely angry, she wished to block and cut ties. But when Zhang Yang returned hours later and said, "Sorry, I was busy," Lin Nianwei weakly forgave him.

Seeing this, some might complain, isn't Zhang Yang a jerk? A beautiful girl is being so proactive, with good conditions, why does he treat her like this!

But Zhang Yang is really innocent here. Even though he's lived another life, Zhang Yang's IQ and EQ are far superior to his peers, and his social experience is quite rich.

However, when it comes to matters of romantic relationships, he remains a late bloomer.

With the year-end approaching, various company matters need him to handle. Many times a phone call comes in, requiring immediate following up on a scheduled plan. Lin Nianwei isn't the clingy type, initiating casual conversations, and Zhang Yang often misses emotional cues.

This causes her to feel anxious, while he's unaware of what's happening.

In classic theory, easy gains aren't cherished, whereas a boy in interactions with the opposite sex should try to evoke emotions from the girl, showcase his values, which is the secret to escape being seen as a backup and escalate the relationship.

It is his laid-back attitude and state in romantic interactions that accidentally align with the approach of being elusive with the girl.

Thus, Zhang Yang, often called "the wooden blockhead," easily captivated Lin Nianwei!

...

In the blink of an eye, it's already the eighth day of the lunar new year, and Zhang Yang Company officially starts its operations. A slim figure surprisingly appears at the company's kick-off meeting.

This person is none other than Lin Nianwei!

"Eh! Xiaowei, why did you come to W City!" Zhang Yang saw Lin Nianwei in her professional attire, and his heart skipped a beat.

Lin Nianwei smiled and said, "I'm here to work at the company! From now on, I'll be following you!"

Hearing that she came to work, Zhang Yang was momentarily stunned.

He turned to look at Zhao Bingguang, with a questioning look in his eyes, what the heck happened?

On the first day of operation, she's coming to work at his company, but as the boss, he doesn't have a clue what's going on at all.

Zhao Bingguang saw Zhang Yang's expression and was a bit puzzled as well, and explained, "Xiaolin is the newly recruited Self-Media Operations Director of our company.

I did post a recruitment notice on the public account to complete the company organizational structure further after Spring. I mentioned it to you before! How come, you knew each other beforehand?"

With this explanation, Zhang Yang finally understood.

Before, Old Zhao indeed told him that at the beginning of the year, to recruit workers to continue expanding the company's team. But he didn't expect Lin Nianwei to be recruited; it's unbelievable.

Lin Nianwei seemed very satisfied with Zhang Yang's expression, smiled and walked a few steps forward to Zhang Yang, and said with a professional smile, "Let's get acquainted again. Lin Nianwei, the newly recruited Self-Media Operations Director! President Zhang, take care!"

"Uh, sure, sure!"

With so many people around, Zhang Yang couldn't say much else, nodded, and temporarily put the matter to rest.

After the routine meeting, other employees returned to their posts, and Zhang Yang knocked on Lin Nianwei's desk, signaling her to come to his office.

In the office, Zhang Yang asked curiously, "What's going on? How come you never mentioned it before!

If you wanted to join our company, just tell me directly. According to Old Zhao, you still went through the normal recruitment process!"

Lin Nianwei pouted a bit, seemingly with a little emotion, spread her hands and said, "Who said I didn't mention it? I did send a WeChat message saying I wanted to find a job after the New Year, and you just replied 'oh' and then went busy!
