Zhang Yuan tearfully confides in Ye Chen about her struggles to stay in Modu. Public opinion turns against Ye Chen, believing he made her cry. Ye Chen resolves to help Zhang Yuan find a job, but his plans are interrupted by a call from his fiancée, Su Wanyi, who needs him to pick her up from work because her secretary quit. Zhang Yuan, realizing Ye Chen is engaged, agrees to let him help her find a job in exchange for a future meal.

When the shop assistants saw Little Yuan walk in, they all gathered around her.

They saw clearly that Little Yuan got out of that car.

"Little Yuan, is that handsome man your boyfriend?"

"You really kept this a secret very well; it’s so unfair."

Hearing her colleagues say this, Little Yuan felt a bit sad. She also fantasized that Ye Chen was her boyfriend.

But the phone call just now woke her up.

"Alright, stop messing around and get to work."

Little Yuan said somewhat shyly.

She knew she wouldn’t be staying here for long, after all, Ye Chen said he would find her a job.

After dropping off Little Yuan, Ye Chen drove straight to Su Wanyi’s company.

He dialed Su Wanyi’s number and said,

"Wanyi, I’m downstairs at your company, come down."

It didn’t take long before Su Wanyi came out and got into Ye Chen’s car.

Ye Chen looked at Su Wanyi’s troubled face and said,

"Honey, cheer up, it’s just your secretary quit, it’s no big deal."

Upon hearing, Su Wanyi glared at Ye Chen and said,

"Of course you think it’s no big deal, but do you know that as soon as she resigned, it’s been hard to keep up here."

Ye Chen knew very well the importance of a secretary; he was saying this just to comfort Su Wanyi.

"Oh, I get it. Let’s not think about these unhappy things. Where do you want to go shopping? I’ll go with you."

Su Wanyi thought for a moment and said,

"Then let’s go to Wanxiang City."

"Okay," Ye Chen started the car and drove toward Wanxiang City.

After parking the car, Su Wanyi suddenly changed her mind and didn’t want to go shopping anymore.

"Honey, I suddenly don’t feel like it; I don’t want to go shopping anymore."

Su Wanyi said, frowning.

Ye Chen knew Su Wanyi was in a bad mood, but he didn’t know how to cheer this girl up.

"How about we grab something to eat? What do you think?"

Ye Chen suggested.

He had heard before that eating could improve one’s mood when they’re down.

Just as Su Wanyi hadn’t eaten lunch, she agreed to Ye Chen’s suggestion.

The two of them found a cozy restaurant and walked in.

Su Wanyi walked in front and found a quiet spot to sit.

Ye Chen sat next to Su Wanyi.

The waiter handed them the menu.

After the waiter introduced the dishes, they ordered the restaurant’s specialties.

"Honey, I’m unhappy," Su Wanyi pouted like a child.

Ye Chen stroked Su Wanyi’s hair and comforted her with a smile,

"Honey, there’s no need to be upset over this; isn’t it said that only when the old goes can the new come?"

"That’s easy to say, but where can I find someone right away?"

Su Wanyi said, frowning.

What she said was indeed true, hiring a secretary is not that easy.

"Look how worried you are; it’s not that hard, you still have me, right?"

Ye Chen pointed at himself.

Su Wanyi looked at Ye Chen and asked,

"You want to be my secretary?"

Ye Chen realized his words might have caused Su Wanyi to misunderstand, and he quickly said,

"I’d better not. But I have a suitable candidate right now; I don’t know if you’d be willing to give her a chance?"

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Su Wanyi was startled and then said,

"Tell me, what’s your relationship with this girl, that you arrange her by my side; is it to see her often?"

"Honey, I found your imagination very rich; if you wrote a novel, it would definitely be a bestseller."

Ye Chen joked.

He didn’t expect Su Wanyi to think in that direction.

"Hmph, don’t change the subject on me; you better honestly explain what’s going on?"

Su Wanyi rolled her eyes at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen thought that he was kindly introducing someone to help, yet he was being doubted.

If it were before, Ye Chen would have already given up.

But this time he couldn’t; after all, he needed Su Wanyi’s help.

As long as Su Wanyi agreed, Little Yuan could soon have a stable job and wouldn’t worry about job-hunting anymore.

"Alright, let me be honest. This girl’s name is Little Yuan. I saved her before. She has suffered harassment at work in the past, forcing her to resign. She’s now doing odd jobs at a milk tea shop but decided to leave here and return home due to high expenses here."

Listening to Ye Chen recount Little Yuan’s experiences, Su Wanyi felt very sympathetic.

"Alright, I can give her a chance. Call her now and have her come over; I want to interview her in person."

Su Wanyi said to Ye Chen.

"Today?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yes, right here," Su Wanyi emphasized.

Ye Chen didn’t expect Su Wanyi to be so urgent and want to interview Little Yuan today.

But this was a good thing for Little Yuan, so he quickly dialed Little Yuan’s number.

Little Yuan was at the shop working when her phone rang. When she glanced at it, she saw it was Ye Chen calling.

She remembered they had met just an hour ago, but why was he calling her again?

With this question in mind, Little Yuan answered the phone.

"Ye Chen, is something wrong?"

"Little Yuan, come over to Wanxiang City now; my girlfriend wants to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Little Yuan’s expression became a bit tense.

"Ah, I’m still working at the shop."

She thought the person knew about her meeting with Ye Chen, which is why he called her.

"Little Yuan, I mentioned finding you a job, right? My girlfriend said she wants to interview you now; I’ll send the address to your phone."

After hearing Ye Chen’s words, Little Yuan became even more nervous. She didn’t expect Ye Chen to find her a job so quickly, and the interviewer was Ye Chen’s girlfriend.

This made her a bit embarrassed.

But to survive in Modu, she couldn’t worry about that.

"Okay, I’ll go right away."

After hanging up, Little Yuan quickly asked the store manager for some time off and took a taxi to Wanxiang City.

About twenty minutes later, she reached the restaurant Ye Chen mentioned.

With a nervous heart, she walked into the restaurant and saw Ye Chen and the girl sitting next to him.

Little Yuan knew that girl was Ye Chen’s girlfriend.

Ye Chen waved at her, and Little Yuan slowly walked over.

She didn’t see Su Wanyi’s appearance clearly from afar.

But as she got closer, she finally saw it clearly, and the mystery in her heart was finally solved.

She had been curious about what Ye Chen’s girlfriend would be like, and now she finally knew.

The other party was simply a charismatic beauty, not on the same level as her.
