Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, then carefully helped the girl to sit down against the wall.

Then he took out her phone and asked, “What’s the password?”

“Hehe… the password is the date of our first time. Do you remember?” the girl said.

Wang Jun looked at the girl and smiled, thinking, “She still loves me, and she even used that date as the password. That Li Ming is just a fleeting regret for her.”

So, Wang Jun entered what he believed to be the date of their first time.

“200815.”

“Incorrect password, please re-enter.”

The smile on Wang Jun’s face immediately froze.

He was sure that the date of their first time was August 15, 2020, but the password was wrong.

“Could I have remembered it wrong?” Wang Jun wondered, so he said aloud, “It won’t open.”

The girlfriend replied, “Hehe… silly, wasn’t our first time January 1, 2017? We went out to play on New Year’s Day and didn’t go home. Have you forgotten, Li Ming? Do you know how much I miss you? Hold me, hurry.”

Wang Jun felt a pang of heartbreak. If he didn’t know his girlfriend was drunk, he would have suspected that she was deliberately toying with him.

Wang Jun entered the password “170101”, and the phone unlocked.

“Heh…” Wang Jun chuckled bitterly and found Li Ming’s number.

Looking at how his girlfriend had saved Li Ming’s contact, Wang Jun’s heart ached.

“Li Ming, the love of my life.”

Wang Jun dialed the number, and the call connected quickly.

Unlike others, Wang Jun didn’t launch into a tirade. He just said calmly, “Li Ming, Xiaojing is drunk. She’s in Zone A of the underground parking garage at Wanda Plaza. She’s been calling your name. Come pick her up. Since she can’t forget you, and I’ve seen you two talking often, I’ll take the initiative to step aside. You two should get back together. I’ll give you half an hour. Whether you come or not, I’m leaving.”

After speaking, Wang Jun hung up the phone.

At this time, his girlfriend Xiaojing had realized something was amiss, but she didn’t dare to reveal that she was awake. She continued to feign drunkenness and leaned quietly against the wall.

Wang Jun stared blankly at Xiaojing.

Yang Chen felt it was about time, so he walked over.

“Damn, Wang Jun?” Yang Chen said loudly.

Wang Jun turned around, and when he saw it was Yang Chen, he immediately smiled and walked over quickly.

The two hugged each other.

“Damn! Bro, long time no see!” Wang Jun said with a smile.

“Yeah! It’s been more than three years since we last met in our junior year, right?” Yang Chen replied.

“Haha… it’s been more than three years. How’s it going? What are you up to these days?” Wang Jun asked.

“I’m driving for a ride-hailing service [like Uber or Lyft]. What about you?” Yang Chen replied.

Wang Jun quickly replied, “I’m the vice president of Linhai Resort. No way, bro, didn’t you study marketing? Why are you driving for a ride-hailing service? Are you having any trouble? If you do, just say so. I can arrange a job for you in the marketing or customer service department. See which area you’re interested in, and I’ll arrange it for you when I get back.”

*As expected of a good buddy, he’s still reliable.*

Yang Chen said with a smile, “No need, I’m not in a good mood right now and need some time to clear my head. So, I’m driving for a ride-hailing service to make a living and clear my head.”

“Okay! If you need anything,

just tell me. Marketing or customer service manager, you can pick one. Your brother can definitely make it happen,” Wang Jun said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded, then looked at Xiaojing sitting on the ground and asked, “Is that your girlfriend? She’s very beautiful.”

The smile on Wang Jun’s face immediately faded, and then he forced a smile and said, “Bro, wait for me for a bit. It’s rare to meet, let’s go for a drink.”

Yang Chen nodded, and the two started chatting.

After a while, a Porsche Cayenne pulled up next to them.

A young man in shorts got out and said, “Who called me just now?”

Wang Jun quickly replied, “It was me. You’re Li Ming, right?”

The young man in shorts nodded.

Wang Jun said with forced generosity, “She was still calling your name when she was with me. It seems she really loves you. I’ll leave her to you. I wish you happiness.”

After speaking, Wang Jun put his arm around Yang Chen and walked away.

Li Ming didn’t say anything, stepped forward, helped Xiaojing into the car, and drove off.

At this moment, Wang Jun couldn’t hold back his emotions anymore. He turned around and hugged Yang Chen, sobbing.

“Bro, what the hell are you doing? Why are you giving your girlfriend away?” Yang Chen asked.

Wang Jun cried out his grievances, took a few deep breaths to compose himself, and said, “Because I really love her. Since she can’t forget her ex-boyfriend, I’ll help them be together. Forced relationships are never fulfilling, so why should I force it?”

What he said made sense, and Yang Chen didn’t know how to respond.

You can’t really comment on matters of the heart. It’s not right to advise someone to stay or leave.

“Alright, let’s not talk about it. Let’s go drink,” Yang Chen said.

Wang Jun nodded, wiped his tears, and went upstairs with Yang Chen to find a restaurant. They ordered a few dishes and a case of beer and started drinking.

After two bottles of beer, Wang Jun started opening up more.

He roughly recounted the story of how he met Xiaojing and how they ended up where they were now. It was obvious that he truly loved Xiaojing. Even if she was lying in bed with him and still thinking about another man, he was willing to let her go to be with him.

*Damn, why does it always feel like he’s simping [acting overly attentive and submissive to someone, especially in hopes of a romantic relationship]?*

Yang Chen asked, “Do you know Li Ming?”

“I don’t know him personally. I only know that she broke up with her ex-boyfriend because he cheated on her. Judging from the car he was driving just now, he must be well-off. I’m just a vice president of a resort, earning a little over ten thousand yuan a month. After deducting the mortgage, I won’t be able to afford a car like that in my lifetime. Maybe that’s why Xiaojing can’t forget Li Ming,” Wang Jun said helplessly.

Yang Chen took a sip of wine and couldn’t bear to see his good buddy in so much pain, so he asked, “Then tell me the truth, do you want to spend your life with Xiaojing?”

Wang Jun finished a bottle of beer in one gulp, smiled bitterly, and said, “How could I not want to? I was really hoping for marriage. But, bro, you know, if a woman has another man in her heart, no matter what you do, you can’t make her forget him.”

If Xiaojing really only couldn’t forget Li Ming because he was rich, then it would be easy to handle.

As long as Yang Chen gave Wang Jun a chance to become rich too, Li Ming’s attraction to Xiaojing would disappear.

But if Xiaojing couldn’t forget Li Ming for reasons other than money, then it would be difficult to handle.

The two finished a case of beer and were so drunk that they had trouble walking.

Yang Chen leaned on the table

for a while. Because his body had been modified by the system, his metabolism was particularly strong, and he quickly sobered up.

Yang Chen paid the bill and helped Wang Jun to a hotel next to Wanda Plaza to check him in.

*Hopefully, he’ll feel better after a good night’s sleep.*

…

Back home.

After taking a shower, Yang Chen lay in bed and opened Douyin [Chinese version of TikTok], clicking on Li Qinqin’s live stream.

Li Qinqin was live streaming from the hospital.

“Brothers, I’ll be free in ten minutes. Wait until I become Senior Brother’s person, then give me gifts to celebrate. Don’t give me any gifts now, and definitely don’t let that bastard boss earn another penny,” Li Qinqin said.

Unextinguished Star: “Junior Sister, what’s wrong? Why are you in the hospital?”

Li Qinqin: “Ah, Senior Brother, you’re here! Wuwu… Senior Brother, you’ve finally deigned to come online and see me. I’ve been bullied to death by that black-hearted boss these past few days. He found a lot of people to force me to renew my contract. I didn’t agree, so they wanted to hit me. When I resisted, I accidentally injured my leg. The doctor said I might need about a month to recover. Wuwu…”

*Earlier in Wanda Plaza, Li Changhong’s expression was not right. I didn’t expect him to be so excessive.*

Unextinguished Star: “I’ll register a company tomorrow, and you can sign with my company. I’ll definitely avenge you. Senior Brother guarantees you that Li Changhong’s company must be liquidated, and he himself will have to go to jail. Go to bed early and stop streaming.”

Li Qinqin: “Thank you, Senior Brother. Okay, I’ll go to sleep right away. Good night, Senior Brother.”

Comments:

“Star Boss is awesome, not giving the streamer’s boss any chance at all.”

“Boss gets angry, company gets liquidated.”

“The streamer is happy, with Star Boss protecting her, she won’t be bullied again in the future.”

“Star Boss, do you need people now that you’ve just started a company? I can do anything, will you hire me?”

“I also want to work for Star Boss. I don’t care about the money, I just want to be in contact with a rich man and hopefully get some of his wealth.”
