Ch.272 You Don’t Like Me, and You Won’t Like Me Either. (1)
The interview ended. Yin Liuyue had her other colleagues head back first, saying that she needed to confirm some details with Chen Junxing first.
The colleagues heard their conversation as well, so they knew that the two knew each other personally. When they left, they deliberately stared at Yin Liuyue and Chen Junxing.
On the way back, they discussed behind Yin Liuyue’s back, “Reporter Yin is quite amazing for latching onto Chen Junxing’s thigh! It seems like our magazine company can’t keep her anymore. After all, we’re just a small magazine company.”
“That’s right. See, it’s good that she’s young and beautiful. Chen Junxing is Mayor Chen’s onlyson. She doesn’t need worry about anything once she marries into the Chen Family, this noble and influential family.”
“Plus, liking Chen Junxing, this handsome and talented guy, is like a moth flying into the flames. It’s best that Reporter Yin is capable and can catch his heart. Don’t end up losing his interest and her job in the end!”
“Who said…”
Unknowingly, Yin Liuyue became someone that worked hard to climb up the social ladder in her colleagues’ eyes.
In the quiet conference room, Chen Junxing and her were the only ones left. She was in deep thought, wondering if she should make some things clear.
Chen Junxing sat in front of her. With one hand under his chin, he said with intent, “Miss Yin, didn’t you say you have something to talk to me about? Now that we’re the only ones left, you end up being silent.”
Yin Liuyue looked at him and suddenly laughed. “Chen Junxing, you’re smart like always.”“Is that so? You’re not going to pretend anymore? You’re not going to call me President Chen too?” Chen Junxing retorted.
“If you didn’t like me calling you President Chen, then I apologize. But my colleagues are present. I’m not sure what I should call you if not President Chen. After all, you think that I’m purposely approaching you with a motive.”
Chen Junxing’s gaze flickered, saying nothing.
She actually saw through it?
Yin Liuyue smiled. “Although my grades were never as good as yours, I always worked hard with the goal to surpass you when I was in elementary school. I noticed our distance when I realized how easily you were able to obtain good grades when I had to study hard and with difficulty.”
“When I was at the restaurant that day, you must’ve heard my conversation with my best friend. That’s right. I like you. I have liked you for so many years. You don’t need to guard against me. You don’t like me and you won’t like me either. All your actions have proven that I don’t even have the chance to pursue you.”
“Chen Junxing, I actually regret liking you because I realized that my youthful and ignorant fondness of you has to be buried in the past. I’d only be covered in cuts and bruises if I revisit that. Therefore, I hope that we don’t need to meet each other anymore.” After that, she stood up and smiled charmingly. “Sorry for causing you trouble. I’ll try to finish writing the draft of the interview quickly when I head back and I’ll send it to your email when I’m done. If you find emails to be inconvenient, I can have my editor in chief personally contact you too.”
Chen Junxing looked at her and delivered a business card. “I’m not the type of person to mix personal and business matters.”
Yin Liuyue smiled. When she reached over to grab it, she said in an alienated tone, “Thanks for cooperating today.”
Chen Junxing smiled and said nothing.
