Li Zhen grabbed the snow on the ground, pulled open Xu Zhan's collar, and poured it in. He didn't stop until his hands were too cold to bear.

After raising his foot and kicking Xu Zhan down, Li Zhen finally vented his anger and walked away with his hands in his pockets satisfied.

Xu Zhan lay on the ground for a long time before he staggered to his feet. Before he could walk away, Qi Yihan opened the door and happened to bump into him.

"Xu Zhan...?" Qi Yihan called out strangely to Xu Zhan, who was about to run away.

Xu Zhan did not look back, his face was hidden in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the light.

Yu Yuzhi, who was chasing after him, suddenly changed his face when he heard Qi Yihan calling Xu Zhan, and he took a few steps to call Qi Yihan.

"Brother Yihan, Aunt Zhang wants you to go back."

Qi Yihan ignored him, pulled Xu Zhan and asked, "What are you doing here at my door so late at night?"

Qi Yihan was very careful about what happened before, even if he knew Xu Zhan, he had to question him clearly.

"I..." Xu Zhan came to his senses and said, "I went to buy something, but someone slapped me in the back."

Xu Zhan was kicked down by Li Zhen and snow rolled all over him. Before he could get up, Qi Yihan turned on the flashlight and saw clearly.

Xu Zhan had a hot temper and it was common for him to offend others. It was not uncommon for him to be slapped. Moreover, he had to pass by Qi Yihan's house to go from Xu Zhan's house to the small shop, so Qi Yihan had no doubts.

"Are you hurt?" Qi Yihan asked.

Xu Zhan was beaten all over by Li Zhen. He gritted his teeth and shook his head. "It's okay. I just got a stick and I beat him away. It's okay."

Qi Yihan looked at Xu Zhan and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Xu Zhan couldn't avoid Qi Yihan too much, so he turned around and walked home with Qi Yihan.

"Brother Yihan..." Yu Yuzhi called Qi Yihan from behind. She knew that he was going to find Li Zhen, and she didn't want him to go.

Qi Yihan stopped and turned around. His tall body was even more slender under the moonlight. He tilted his head slightly, and his tall nose showed a beautiful arc under the trace of silver light.

"Don't wait for me, lock the door and go to bed early."

After that, without waiting for Yu Yuzhi to say anything else, Qi Yihan quickened his pace and walked away from Xu Zhan.

Yu Yuzhi clenched her fists unwillingly, stomped the door and bolted back to the house in the cold.

Li Zhen walked along the street, and not far away she heard someone calling her.

"Are you Director Qi's lover?"

Xu Zhenbao went to the furniture factory to deliver food to his uncle who was working late at night, and was assigned by his uncle to go to Factory Director Qi's house to see if Director Qi's lover had returned home.

When a young man went to inquire whether his wife was home, Xu Zhenbao resisted, except when it concerned Li Zhen.

He sincerely admired Li Zhen's painting skills and wanted to take the opportunity to get in touch with Li Zhen. It would be better if he had the opportunity to ask for advice, but unexpectedly he met Li Zhen on the road. It was really a dream come true.

Li Zhen was only thinking about things, and when someone called her, she raised her head and saw the man's youthful smiling face, but she didn't recognize it for a moment.

"It's me, Xu Zhenbao. I still have the sketch of the child you drew."

Li Zhen finally recognized him and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Teacher Xu."

Xu Zhenbao was amused, "Why do you look like my student?"

Li Zhen also laughed when he heard this.

"Just call me by my name. If you want to call me teacher, I should also call you."

Li Zhen shook his head, "I don't dare to take it seriously."

The overly polite conversation made the atmosphere awkward, and Xu Zhenbao scratched his head.

"My uncle asked me to go to your house and ask if you have gone home. Where are you going? It's best to stay out less at night."

Xu Zhenbao opened his chat box and talked a lot.

Li Zhen never talked about his family affairs in front of others. He looked up and saw the sign of the small shop and pointed at it.

"I go to buy something."

Xu Zhenbao looked in the direction of Li Zhen's finger and found that he was being too lenient and a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, shopping is good..."

Li Zhen suppressed a smile and said, "Thank you uncle for me. You should also go back early."

Xu Zhenbao nodded and asked Li Zhen, "By the way, Comrade Li Zhen, are you interested in teaching as an art teacher?"

"What?" Li Zhen didn't understand why Xu Zhenbao asked.

"I'm looking for someone to take over my class."

The salary of art teachers is not much, but at least they get a fixed salary, which is safer than working part-time jobs outside. Most people are reluctant to give up.

"Why?" Li Zhen asked.

Now that the country encourages self-employment, he had a premonition that the spring breeze was coming, and planned to seize the opportunity to start a career. However, Li Zhen was a housewife who did not go out, and she might not understand it. Xu Zhenbao simply expressed his thoughts.

"I want to try doing some business myself."

Li Zhen was the honorary president of the Beijing Art Association in his previous life, and he knew Xu Zhenbao as a member.

It can be said that Xu Zhenbao's paintings are not remarkable, but the decoration company he founded has taken advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up to flourish, blooming all over the country, and making a lot of money.

"This is a good thing and I should support it."

Of course Li Zhen will not give up the opportunity to make a fortune, but she is lazy, the most annoying person, and does not like the culture of drinking and drinking, so she is most inclined to invest in shares, but it is too early to say this now, so it is better to support him to retire first. Wait until he has hit enough walls and figures out what to do, then invest in helping him survive from desperate situations.

Li Zhen doesn't think this kind of speculation is wrong. People can't see clearly the way forward without going through hardships. She can't block Xu Zhenbao's detour just because she knows the result.

Li Zhen's lack of opposition was already beyond Xu Zhenbao's expectation, and it was even more surprising that he could express his support.

Does Li Zhen need a job? Xu Zhenbao asked tentatively with a question mark on his face.

"Then, you agreed?"

Li Zhen hummed, "Just go through the formalities and let me know when you need me to come over for an interview."

Seeing Xu Zhenbao's doubts, Li Zhen said again.

"I need to work."

It was too direct, Xu Zhenbao laughed dryly.

"Well, our principal also knows you, so there should be no problem."

After Qi Yihan sent Xu Zhan home, he went to look for Li Zhen. When he turned the corner, he saw Li Zhen, who should have been in his new home, standing on the street talking to a young man.

Qi Yihan walked over quickly, and he was so powerful that he didn't realize it.

Xu Zhenbao, who was talking face to face with Li Zhen, saw Qi Yihan rushing toward him like a whirlwind. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back and stammered a greeting.

"Qi, Director Qi, nice... nice to meet you."

Qi Yihan's eyebrows were serious, and he reached into Li Zhen's pocket and pulled out his hand to hold it.

Li Zhen frowned and did not look at Qi Yihan, who was feeling depressed.

Xu Zhenbao was so stared at by Qi Yihan that his hair stood on end and he left hastily.

"I'm going back, goodbye."

Qi Yihan nodded and Li Zhen waved, "Go slowly on slippery roads."

Xu Zhenbao followed up with a wave of his claws, but was swept by Qi Yihan's cold eyes. He retracted his hand and walked quickly.

When she was worried about finding a job, she met Xu Zhenbao, who was about to go to work in the sea. What a great opportunity, but she was disturbed by Qi Yihan before she could finish her words.

Li Zhen wanted to withdraw his hand, but Qi Yihan grabbed it and stuffed it into his pocket.

"What are you doing here?" Li Zhen couldn't get away and was forced to walk side by side with Qi Yihan, his tone stained with impatience.

"Looking for you..."

The words came out of Qi Yihan's mouth along with a cloud of mist, and the tiny droplets of water condensed in the air seemed to drip into Li Zhen's heart.

She hated Qi Yihan's bribery, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Her heart should no longer throb for the person who caused her separation from her flesh and blood in her previous life...
