From the birth of a son to the separation of Nuwa and her path to becoming a god

But he didn't ask any more questions. Everyone has secrets that they don't want to mention, let alone people from the Xuanmen.

Jian Youning took the cup on the table and poured a cup of hot water for Meng Liu: "Drink some water."

After that, he took out a new cup and handed it to Zhuo Yun: "Yours was broken yesterday, and I bought you a new cup on the way here."

Meng Liu raised an eyebrow. Jian Youning is so kind? He is a rare good man.

Zhuo Yun didn't react at all. He just took it blankly, feeling even sadder.

What I fear most is not a love rival, but a love rival who is better than me and understands the ways of the world better than me.

In this way, even if you have resentment towards him, it is not easy to show him a bad face in person.

Wait! Love rival?!

How could he think of this!

Zhuo Yun looked at Meng Liu with horror on his face.

"Huh?" She was very puzzled. Why did this boy suddenly have such an expression as if he was having epilepsy?

Jian Youning ignored him: "You don't have to go to the National Security Bureau today. I checked for you before I came here. There is no work for the time being. I will send the work content to your mobile phone every day in the future. Zhuo Yun doesn't have to make more trips. He has his own things to do after joining the National Security Bureau."

"Will that be troublesome for you?"

"No, I'm the team leader. Originally, each of your work arrangements had to go through me before being issued. This is just a side note."

Meng Liu nodded: "That's good."

Zhuo Yun felt more and more upset. He just felt uncomfortable and couldn't stand seeing these two people being so affectionate. What made him most unhappy was that her eyes were on Jian Youning and she didn't even give him a glance.

In order to make himself feel more present, he interrupted: "Since there is no work today, let's go check out the factory."

Jian Youning was puzzled: "What factory?"

"You may not know, but Meng Liu and I have planned the future business of the store together, and we are going to buy two production lines." Zhuo Yun's expression looked a little better after finally winning back a game somewhere else.

Jian Youning was not shocked at all. She just looked at Meng Liu and said, "I happen to be free today. Can I go with you?"

Zhuo Yun smiled wryly: "Is the National Security Bureau so idle? As the captain, don't you need to keep an eye on the other subordinates working?"

“It’s okay to take a day off once in a while.”

In an invisible confrontation, Jian Youning won a great victory.

His sense of crisis was not fake. Zhuo Yun had impure thoughts about Meng Liu. Whether it was out of love for her or possessiveness as a friend, he would never let it go.

My only advantage over Zhuo Yun now is that I have a clear path.

Of course, he must magnify his advantage and press on to win.

"Are you done after visiting the factory? Do you want to see a movie? Or go shopping?" Jian Youning had done his homework and knew that girls like to buy clothes, so another purpose for his coming here today was to ask Meng Liu out to play.

If he wanted Meng Liu to fall in love with him, he should at least spend more time with her and kick Zhuo Yun, the troublemaker, away first.

Zhuo Yun rushed to refuse before Meng Liu did: "I have something to do! We have to rush to deliver the goods. There is too much work in the store. How can we have time to go out and play with you?"

Jian Youning looked at him deeply and said, "Don't you have it? Meng Liu is the boss. The boss only plays a role when making decisions. If she needs to do all the miscellaneous things in the store, I think it's your fault as an assistant. It just so happens that I have a suitable candidate here. He has been working as an assistant to various CEOs for many years. If you need me, I can introduce him to her."

In the second confrontation, Zhuo Yun was defeated again.

Jian Youning is so vicious. He has placed him in such a high position. If he insists on not letting Meng Liu go, it means that he, as an assistant, is useless and should be replaced by someone more capable. But if he lets her go, wouldn't that be the same as handing the person over to him personally?

Meng Liu looked at this and then that, and it was not easy to favor either one.

This was Jian Youning's first time asking her out, so of course she couldn't spoil the fun, but what he said about shopping and watching movies was really not new to her after living for several lifetimes.

"Okay, let's go." Meng Liu agreed with a smile.

Jian Youning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhuo Yun also became visibly depressed.

Meng Liu stretched out his hands again and tugged at the hems of the two men's clothes. "Zhuo Yun has worked for me for so long and has never had a holiday. I can't let him be happy outside while I, as the boss, work myself to death in the store. I'm not that kind of black-hearted capitalist, so the three of us should go together, just as an employee benefit!"

Zhuo Yun's face turned from gloomy to bright and he smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay! It's settled then."

Jian Youning rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Who told you it's settled?"

He was somewhat reluctant, but since Meng Liu had spoken, what else could he do?

The pursuer is in the lower position in the relationship, so even for her sake, she cannot refuse.

The three of them left the shop. Jian Youning was about to drive the car when Zhuo Yun took out a new car key and pressed it. The lights of the Cullinan parked on the street turned on.

Meng Liu and Jian Youning looked at him at the same time.

Zhuo Yun smiled carefreely: "The previous two-seater car was not convenient, so I bought a new one. Come, try my new car."

Meng Liu is not very interested in cars, it doesn't matter whose car it is.

But Jian Youning saw it differently. When males are courting mates, they often show off their strength and abilities.

If he has the financial resources to buy Cullinan, how could he end up working a job that pays only three thousand a month?

I became more wary of him.

Jian Youning considerately opened the car door for Meng Liu.

Zhuo Yun's eyebrows jumped. Oh no, he was one step too late again. What a scheming man. She was angry!

What the hell, why are you so late? What are you angry about?

Why does he have to compete with Jian Youning in everything? Is it worth getting angry just because he opened the car door?

Zhuo Yun took a deep breath and comforted himself, thinking that the other person was pursuing his girlfriend, so why should he make trouble?

After preparing himself mentally, he got into the driving seat.

Looking through the rearview mirror at Jian Youning taking off her coat and covering Meng Liu's well-proportioned and slender legs, he clenched his fists. No, this is just not right!

"You guys think I'm your driver? Haven't you heard about car etiquette? At least have someone sit on the passenger seat!"

Meng Liu glared at him and said, "You are the only one who has too many things to do. Drive!"

It’s no wonder that she treats Zhuo Yun badly. They are both men, and compared to the gentleman Jian Youning, this man looks like a fool.

I only seek a sense of existence in these insignificant things.

After being criticized, Zhuo Yun pursed her lips tightly and remained silent the rest of the way.

Jian Youning was very satisfied. After getting out of the car, she carried Meng Liu's bag and held a parasol for her.

Zhuo Yun was very upset. He had never seen anyone so shameless.

After visiting the factory, Meng Liu was very satisfied. He didn't know what was wrong with the Meng family. Their ancestors had made a living by running the incense shop for generations, but in 2024 they were still making products by hand. They had no foresight at all.
