"Thank you, boss." He picked up the cup and took a sip.

The milk tea is very fragrant. It is not the kind that comes in ordinary instant packets. It has the taste that can only be obtained after carefully brewing black tea and adding high-quality fresh milk.

She pursed her lips and put down the expensive-looking porcelain cup.

"Does it taste good?" Chris asked immediately.

"It smells good." He praised it.

"Wu Weiran." He suddenly spit out a name.

She looked at him in confusion, wondering why he mentioned the betrayer's name when he had nothing to do... Wait!How does the boss know the name Wu Weiran? Is he himself?

Impossible...

"You..."

Two different faces gradually merged into one face before her eyes.

"So, long time no see." Wu Weiran still had that faint smile on his face, but his eyes changed, becoming focused, direct and fiery.

She was so frozen in her chair that she couldn't say anything. When she recalled what she had just said, her heart became cold -

Ever since I was betrayed by a bastard, I stopped drinking milk tea.

"It's been almost fifteen years since I was in junior high school. It's said that women have changed a lot, and men are no exception. No wonder you can't recognize me. When I heard your name in the meeting just now, I was stunned for the first time. Looking at the way you spoke, it slowly overlapped with your appearance as a child, confirming that you are the Sun Rusi I knew before." Wu Weiran deliberately slowed down his speaking speed to give her time to react.

Unexpectedly, a love affair that I had when I was innocent and ignorant in junior high school not only harmed me at that time, but the remnants of it still remain to this day, harming me now.

"I'm Wu Weiran, have you remembered me?" He didn't want to rush her, but he looked forward to the two of them getting to know each other, but he was also a little worried that she would still blame him for what happened back then.

She finally reacted and first emphasized: "I didn't mean to call you a bastard just now." At the same time, she told herself in her heart that that incident could only hurt her once and could not affect her life a second time!

"Thank you for remembering me." Wu Weiran smiled happily.

"Boss, I have absolute respect for you. When I said bastard just now, I wasn't scolding you, and it definitely wasn't directed at you now, but at you when you were in junior high school. It doesn't seem right to say that..." Rusi wanted to explain clearly, but found that the more he explained, the worse he got.

"I did something like that to you when I was in junior high school. It was definitely my fault." He knew this very well. Seeing her eager to explain, he didn't feel offended at all. Instead, he felt even more guilty towards her.

"So I don't have to resign and apologize?" She just wants to confirm this at the moment.

"Haha, like this, I always feel relaxed when you are by my side." Wu Weiran had a momentary illusion, as if he had returned to his carefree junior high school days.

At that time, there was no excessive family pressure on him, and he could still have a pure love without any purpose. Just now he was thinking, if that incident had not happened, would they still be together now?Or, God allowed them to meet at this moment just to give him a chance to make up for the mistakes he made in the first place.

"I'm glad to hear the boss say that." She pretended to be calm on the surface, but she felt inexplicably nervous in her heart. She was really not mentally prepared to meet him again.

Wu Weiran's smile faded, and he carefully watched every subtle change in her expression."Did you do it on purpose?"

"What's the purpose?" He was stunned.

"Keep calling me boss." A faint wry smile appeared on his pretty lips.

"You are indeed my boss." Isn't the identity of the two of them very clear?Otherwise, how could she shout?"Aren't you?"

A gentle rhetorical question left Wu Weiran speechless.

Compared with how she was in junior high school, she is now much more talkative and capable and direct. In the past, she was like a harmless soft marshmallow that looked romantic and tasted sweet. Now she is like wearing a golden bell to protect herself and isolate herself from others.

After taking off this golden bell, is she still the same person?Can he still get in touch with the original her?

"If I weren't the boss, you probably wouldn't want to talk to the bastard, right?" Wu Weiran looked at her clear and decisive eyes and smiled lightly.

"Boss, you are very enlightened." So he was carefully trying to figure out the most appropriate attitude to use when facing him.

He was both her first boyfriend in middle school and her current boss. He had made it clear directly that she could not stick to the simple relationship between her boss and her subordinates. She had to strike a delicate balance between pure business and past relationships.

"So, I apologize to you for what happened back then." Wu Weiran looked at her intently and said the words he had owed for decades, "I'm sorry."

"Okay, I accept your apology. This matter ends here. From now on, our relationship will be purely a boss and employee relationship." He agreed simply, not wanting the past to affect the present.

"During working hours, our relationship is between boss and employee." On the contrary, he could not be as neat and tidy as her."Can we still be friends after get off work?"

"If I say no, you'll probably say I haven't forgiven you at all, right?"

She knew very well that he knew how to fight for the best interests for himself under any conditions and circumstances, and he almost never failed.

"You know me very well." Wu Weiran lowered his head and smiled.

"The boss has the final say." She stood up, wanting to leave here and him as soon as possible to clarify her thoughts."If there's nothing else, I'll go down and do some work first."

Before she stepped into this office, she thought she was going to face a smiling boss. Unexpectedly, in just ten minutes, the situation completely turned around.

"That's it." Seeing that she couldn't wait to leave, Wu Weiran couldn't help but call her to stop her.

She turned to look at him."Huh?"

Wu Weiran looked at her steadily for two seconds and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you again."

He smiled like this, turned around and walked out of this spacious and bright office without saying anything else.

The well-dressed secretary who had just delivered milk tea immediately walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

"Very good." He smiled politely."The milk tea is delicious, thank you."

"The boss likes to drink hot milk tea very much. He drinks at least one cup every day. I even went to learn how to make it. Later, the boss only drank the milk tea I made." The secretary raised his chin slightly proudly.

"No wonder..." No wonder he can drink freshly brewed milk tea casually, not just milk tea bought from outside or simple milk tea.

"The boss never drinks milk tea with others, and today is the only exception." The secretary's inquiring eyes were like two black claws.

"Boss seems a little unusual today," he said, following the other person's words. "Boss wants me to sort out a lot of information. He's anxious to see it. I'll go down and do some work first."

After slipping downstairs smoothly, the day was so busy that the main work content was not the homework thrown by the new boss. In fact, she had completed what Wu Weiran asked her to prepare yesterday. She spent most of the day instructing her subordinates on how to prepare tomorrow's reports and proposals.

She only found a few minutes of free time before getting off work and clicked on the blind date experience report that Yu Wuneng had received at midnight yesterday. The content was horrific.

Yu Wuneng summed it up in four words - execution by Lingchi.

Since they were both executed in Ling Chi, this is all they can do to her - the blind date has not yet been successful, comrades still have to work hard.

Before going to bed at night, I received another new message from Yu Wu Neng, which said that she was going on a blind date at noon on Saturday.

This time the other party was an excellent doctor. In order to avoid the recurrence of the Lingchi execution incident, Yu Wuneng asked the other party to find a male friend to accompany him, and she would also find a female friend to accompany him, turning the blind date into a holiday entertainment activity to minimize the risk of having nothing to talk about and being too embarrassed.

The two exchanged messages for half an hour before finalizing the time and location.

It was said that the other party was a very caring doctor and had joined organizations such as Doctors Without Borders. Therefore, Yu Wuneng considered that the other party might prefer clean and simple women, so she specifically asked her colleague to wear a brand-name outfit like this to set off her simple and elegant image with such excessive gorgeousness.

After setting the alarm clock, putting down the phone and about to fall asleep, Wu Weiran's face flashed in his mind, but it was a little blurry.

Then, Wu Weiran from junior high school slowly appeared in her mind and lingered.
