Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Liu Ou looked at An Ji in front of her and repeated, "Mr. An Ji, are you saying that you want to leave Ji Ye?"

"Ji Ye" was the name of the studio.

Initially, An Ji, Tian Ye, and another photographer who has since retired, founded it together.

It took the trio eight years to grow from a small studio to the now nationally renowned one.

And now, apart from An Ji and Tian Ye, the other teacher had long since retired.

Liu Ou had been at the studio for half a month and hadn't seen him make an appearance.

This morning, less than an hour after starting work, An Ji arrived and called Liu Ou in.

Then, Liu Ou heard the news that baffled her momentarily.

She looked at An Ji, really unable to understand, why leave "Ji Ye"?

Didn't he know what this place represented?

An Ji smiled at her shocked expression, "Actually, I hadn't planned to involve you. I already had this idea before you arrived, and I'm sure that most people in the studio would be willing to follow me."

An Ji sighed, "Hai Ou, you're still young and there are many things you don't fully understand. No matter how good friends are, you really shouldn't work together. Tian Ye and I are just like that. Anyway, now every decision we make is at odds, and we don't agree on the development philosophy; being forced to work together, we can't accomplish anything."

He honestly said to the girl in front of him, "Even if you don't come with me, I reckon Tian Ye won't keep you on. After all, you are my assistant now, so I thought I should tell you in advance. Of course, while I'm still here, your job won't be affected."

Liu Ou: ...There seems to be a choice, but in reality, she had no choice at all.

Liu Ou sighed, "Teacher, I'll go with you."

But then she suddenly remembered something, "Is your new studio still in this area?"

As expected, An Ji shook his head, "There's already Ji Ye here, I can't stay in this place."

As expected.

Liu Ou's heart sank, she couldn't be too far from her grandmother. If Lin Yu went abroad, she would have to stay close to or nearby her grandmother, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to make it back in time if something happened.

An Ji noticed the change in her expression and asked out of curiosity, "What's wrong? Your family is here and you don't want to leave?"

"It's not that my family is in Ling City, I just can't go too far. There's an elderly lady at home, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back in time if something happens," said Liu Ou honestly.

An Ji raised an eyebrow, "You're not talking about C City, are you?"

Liu Ou hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

An Ji laughed, "Then you have no worries, you can live at home."

He looked at Liu Ou with a smile, "I've chosen C City for the new studio's location."

Sure enough, Liu Ou's eyes lit up.

An Ji looked at the girl in front of him; she really was an excellent employee. It's rare that she's also so filial,

he didn't regret taking her with him.

She deserved it.

An Ji told Liu Ou that the exact time of departure had not been decided; he still had to discuss his resignation with Tian Ye.

He would notify her when the time came, and until then, she should just continue working diligently as usual.

Liu Ou nodded and walked out of An Ji's office still somewhat in a daze.

She hadn't expected the thriving Mr. An Ji to actually be leaving.

However, thinking about being able to return home and be closer to her grandmother, Liu Ou still felt very good.

Since Liu Ou became a regular employee, Jian Yaoyao had stopped causing trouble for her.

After all, her original conflict was not with Liu Ou, and her boyfriend had also warned her.

So Jian Yaoyao no longer dared to act rashly.

But today at lunch, Jian Yaoyao unexpectedly took the initiative to stop Liu Ou, "Hai Ou, will you join me for lunch?"

She even made a point of emphasizing, "Just the two of us."

Anyone with half a brain would know that's suspicious, specifically stressing it was just the two of them.

Liu Ou glanced at her, not particularly afraid of what she could do, mostly likely it was because of Fang Miao, right?

Did Fang Miao want to see her?

In the end, Liu Ou smiled slightly, "Sure."

She was actually curious to see what Fang Miao was up to.

Jian Yaoyao, however, felt like Liu Ou really didn't have much of a brain.

The two of them went to a Cantonese restaurant together.

Despite saying it would just be the two of them eating, Jian Yaoyao asked for a table saying, "Three people."

Then she turned her head towards Liu Ou, "A friend of mine said he'll come to find me later, you don't mind, right?"

Liu Ou smiled again, "I don't mind."

Sure enough, they'd barely sat down when Fang Miao arrived.

Liu Ou, observing Fang Miao's hairstyle which was somewhat similar to her own, raised her eyebrows slightly but did not comment.

Miaomiao and Jian Yaoyao greeted each other intimately, and then with feigned formality, Jian introduced her, "Miaomiao, let me introduce you, this is my colleague, Liu Ou."

As she was about to introduce Fang Miao, she was interrupted by Liu Ou, "No need for introductions, Fang Miao, right? I know her." Enjoy exclusive content from empire

Fang Miao's eyes lit up, "Lin Yu mentioned me to you?"

Liu Ou laughed lightly, "He did, but he used some not-so-nice words I think it's not very nice to speak that way about a girl, so shall I not repeat it?"

Although it sounded like she was considering Fang Miao's feelings, the words themselves were quite uncomfortable to hear.

As expected, Fang Miao's expression stiffened.

Her smile slowly faded, "Have you and Lin Yu known each other for a long time?"

Jian Yaoyao felt a bit awkward on the side, Fang Miao was being so direct.

Liu Ou seemed quite curious, after all, there weren't many of the opposite sex that Lin Yu disliked so much.

She knew Lin Yu, who was generally patient and mild-mannered towards the opposite sex, and rarely made someone feel embarrassed.

But Fang Miao was the exception.

Now, hearing her bold question, Liu Ou had to admit, Fang Miao did seem to have some kind of issue.

Liu Ou smiled again, "Ms. Fang, your question is quite presumptuous. How long I've been acquainted with my boyfriend is none of your business, is it?"

Her eyes twinkled with amusement, "Pining for someone else's boyfriend isn't a very good practice, at least it's a bit unethical, don't you think?"

Fang Miao snorted, "Is Lin Yu going abroad? Today's news of three extra slots for going abroad is known to everyone, and if Lin Yu wants to go, of course, he will have no problems—he's too excellent."

Fang Miao slightly lifted her chin, looking at Liu Ou, "I can accompany him abroad, can you?"

Her eyes were filled with pride as she spoke.

Liu Ou: ...

"I can't," Liu Ou admitted honestly, then witnessed the smug smile spread across Fang Miao's face.

Following up, Liu Ou added, "But Lin Yu is going abroad to study and doesn't need me to accompany him, and I think he would not be happy to see you either."

Liu Ou sighed, "Ms. Fang, usually when people confront the 'legitimate wife' it's because they have something to ask for. Being so despised by Lin Yu and still having the audacity to say these words in front of me, where do you get the courage from?"

Her tone was leisurely, "Is it because your family has a little money? A small food processing factory with less than five million in net profit a year, and you're ready to flaunt your wealth to me already? Going abroad doesn't need that much money; grow up, Ms. Fang, okay?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her gaze at Fang Miao was like looking at a clown.

From the very beginning, Fang Miao was mistaken; Liu Ou wasn't someone who could be easily manipulated.
