During that time, Liu Jiamu felt that Yan Huaian must have come from a wealthy family. However, Yan Huaian was like any other international student and would work part-time while he studied. At the time, Liu Jiamu was working in a fast-food restaurant himself.

Nevertheless, Yan Huaian was different. He would work in Yan Hui’s branch in England. According to Yan Huaian, he was only an intern.

Even so, this was already impressive, as, at the very least, he had been hired by a decent company.

When he was free, Yan Huaian would play with stocks. Liu Jiamu noticed that Yan Huaian’s predictions were quite accurate too, which was why he would invest the money he made during his part-time work with Yan Huaian.

He did not know how much Yan Huaian invested himself, tonly thing he knew was that it was not a small number. On the other hand, he was timid, and did not have a lot of money. Moreover, his family was very average. They could afford to let him study in England, but they could not provide him a decent living there.

Even so, he felt that he could not complain much. He was already blessed as his family could afford to let him study overseas. He needed to appreciate a chance like this, since not everyone could have the chance to do this.

He felt thankful for his family and wanted to lessen his family’s burden. This was why he started working part-time.

He used his own money to invest in stocks because if one day he were to lose money, it would be his own and not his parents’.

Thankfully, Yan Huaian’s predictions were always accurate. Thus, he never lost money while following in Yan Huaian’s footsteps.

It did not matter how much money he earned. As long as he did not lose money, he was grateful.

He knew not to invest too much even though he made a lot of money, nor did he try to find more profitable stocks to invest in.

He knew his own abilities well, so he would not do something that would cause himself to lose out.

In addition to this, Liu Jiamu has a good personality. He knew himself well, and knew he was not the kind of person that was skilled in playing with stocks. This was why he decided to just follow Yan Huaian’s actions. At the same time, he did not ask Yan Huaian how much he earned.

As long as Yan Huaian would let him tag along, he was grateful.

Moreover, it was up to one’s ability and fate to make money. He was just a mere human, if he was too greedy, God would definitely take back some of his luck.

God knew how much one would reap in this life. Although Liu Jiamu was quite happy-go-lucky, he still believed in fate.

He believed that got to where he is now only because he did not challenge fate.

Yan Huaian graduated before him and went back to their home country. However, the two of them stayed in touch. They have each other’s contact numbers and even added each other on Wechat. Thus, they would chat constantly and leave comments on each other’s posts.

Some time after, Liu Jiamu graduated and came back to his home country too. He soon called Yan Huaian and they met up. Liu Jiamu got drunk because he was happy, but Yan Huaian was fine. He still looked as mature and elegant as ever.

Then, Liu Jiamu went for an interview in Yan Hui. He wanted to start as a normal office boy, but when he passed his written test and went on to his in-person interview, he saw that Yan Huaian was one of the interviewers.

At that moment, Liu Jiamu’s jaw hung so wide open that it could fit a goose’s egg.

Liu Jiamu went on to become Yan Huaian’s assistant, and Liu Jiamu would always tell his parents that he got it because of their relationship.

He even flexed in front of his parents, saying, “See. We don’t need Uncle Liu or Uncle Li to pull strings to get the job in Yan Hui. I have the biggest string-puller in Yan Hui!”

After this, Liu Jiamu asked Yan Huaian whether he only hired him because of their relationship.

Yan Huaian nodded and said yes, but added that he also hired him on the basis that he did have the ability. It was just a bonus that he knew him from university. This is why he knew Liu Jiamu had a good heart, and that even though he was sometimes playful, he was also mature. Because of this, Yan Huaian believed in Liu Jiamu.

Liu Jiamu never disappointed Yan Huaian. He was a great assistant and never made mistakes.

When they were at work, they were employer and employee, but when they were out of office, they were senior and junior.

Liu Jiamu and Yan Huaian’s relationship never changed because of work.

Yan Huaian was very happy with their situation, and was also impressed with Liu Jiamu’s personality and attitude.

However, even if Liu Jiamu was Yan Huaian’s assistant, he would only take care of the important work. Yan Huaian also had a secretary who was responsible for his daily task, like arranging meetings with clients and so on. When Yu Zi wanted to visit Yan Hui, it was through Yan Huaian’s secretary and not Liu Jiamu. This was why she had never met Liu Jiamu before.

Since they were on the topic of Yu Zi, Yan Huaian gave Liu Jiamu a stare.

“Miss Yu is so beautiful, and she has a good personality. She said that since we’re neighbours, we can ask for her help whenever.” Liu Jiamu reported the things that Yu Zi had said to him back to Yan Huaian.

Yan Huaian had a glowing look on his face and said, “She’s very good.”

Liu Jiamu: “…”

Can’t you be a little modest?

All Yan Huaian could think about right now was Yu Zi’s face. He was chuckling softly and could not hide his cheerfulness. He had completely forgotten Liu Jiamu’s existence at that moment.

Nevertheless, Liu Jiamu was not afraid of him. He stepped over and waved his hand in front of Yan Huaian’s face.

When Yan Huaian snapped back to reality, Liu Jiamu teased him with his brows raised, “Senior, what were you thinking about?”

Yan Huaian, “…”

“Were you thinking about Miss Yu? If you miss her then you should just go over. She stays just opposite of us. Now that she’s living so close, you will be able to see her whenever you want.” Liu Jiamu teased.

Yan Huaian looked at him in disgust and said, “Why are you still here?”

“…” Liu Jiamu choked on his saliva and said, “If I’m not here, where would I be?”

“Everything’s in order. You can go now. Why are you still here?” Yan Huaian looked cold and ruthless. Liu Jiamu was so mad at him.

He stepped back a few steps and clutched his chest. “You… you… you betrayed me!”

Then, he ran out while pretending to sob.

Yan Huaia, “…”

There were a few boxes in the living room. These contained the daily supplied he asked Liu Jiamu to prepare for him, including his clothes, alcohol and so on.

He quickly took out a box cutter to cut open the tape on the box before putting away his things.

To make cleaning up more convenient, he took off his suit jacket. Then, he unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, exposing his collarbone. He also rolled his sleeves to his elbow, showing off his strong and muscular arms.

Eventually, he washed his hands and took a bottle of sparkling white wine from his wine rack.

He knew that Yu Zi’s alcohol tolerance was low. This sparkling wine did not contain a lot of alcohol, and was bubbly and sweet, so most of the girls who could not take alcohol would prefer this. However, he personally did not like this.

He took the bottle and looked at himself in the mirror. He thought he looked quite decent and not as messy as before. He looked relaxed and dashing with his unbuttoned shirt and rolled-up sleeves.

After contemplating for a while, he took a selfie of himself and sent it to 8×8 is 64.

He captioned his selfie with “Am I handsome?”

Yan Beicheng, “Granduncle, are you okay?”

Yan Huaian, “…Go to class!”

Yan Beicheng, “I don’t have class today.”

Yan Huaian did not want to talk to him anymore, so he closed the group chat and admired his own selfie. He thought that he looked good. 22-year-old Yan Beicheng would not know how to appreciate this kind of handsomeness that was a combination of matureness and modesty.

Thus, he confidently went over to the opposite unit and rang the doorbell.

However, even after a long time, no one answered the door.

Yan Huaian felt disappointed and mumbled, “Is no one home?”

He rang the doorbell a few more times, then waited for a long time. Sure enough, no one answered the door. Thus, Yan Huaian could only go back home with his head lowered.

Yan Huaian did not do anything after he got home. He moved a chair from the dining room to the door and sat down. Then, he pressed his ear to the door to listen to any movements outside.

Finally, he heard some noises coming from outside the door. When he got up and peeked from the peephole, he saw that Yu Zi was back.

There were bags and bags of groceries from the supermarket by her legs, and she was busy concentrating on opening the door.

Yan Huaian moved the chair back to the dining room hurriedly. Then he checked himself in the mirror and tidied himself up.

He saw an unruly man in the mirror and stopped. He contemplated for a while before rolling down the sleeves of his shirt and buttoning up his shirt.

However, since he had rolled up his shirt just now, it was now wrinkled.

He frowned and felt that he did not look handsome enough. Thus, he took off his shirt and opened his closet before rummaging around and eventually choosing a more casual shirt.

He now looked handsome and not mechanical. His new shirt made him looked relaxed and comfortable.

Yan Huaian finally felt satisfied.

When he went out the door, he smelled cooking from the opposite apartment unit.

Yan Huaian smiled. The woman he was pursuing was so virtuous.

He recomposed himself and made himself seem cultured and elegant. He had to pretend that he did not know Yu Zi was living opposite him and had to make it seem like he was greeting a brand new neighbour. Then, he rang the doorbell.
