Mu Yi took a sip of hot water and felt his body wasnât as cold anymore. âThank you!â
âHow many times are you planning to thank me, huh? Hurry up and eat!â
Mu Yi paused for a moment, then picked up the utensils on the table and started eating breakfast.
Seeing Mu Yi start to eat, Jian Dan also began to eat.
âHow did you know I was locked in the props room?â Mu Yi asked while eating.
âI heard the two people who locked you up boasting about it!â To do something bad and then brag about it!
âOh!â
âThatâs it? Youâre not even angry?â Jian Dan was surprised to see Mu Yi react so calmly.
âIâm used to it. Besides, what good would getting angry do?â Mu Yi said softly, with his head down, as he continued to eat.
âWhat do you mean âused to itâ?â Jian Dan found it somewhat unacceptable. âWhat good? Of course, you should get back at them! Make them realize youâre not to be messed with!â
Jian Dan had always been this sort of person!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAnd what good would getting back at them do? An eye for an eyeâ¦â
âWait a second~â Jian Dan cut him off. âYouâre not about to tell me âan eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,â are you?â
âYes!â
Jian Dan almost laughed out of frustration, âI donât want to comment on whether this ancient saying is right or wrong, but it doesnât work with me! What I want to tell you is that your attitude will only embolden them more, and they will bully you even worse!â
âSo what do you want me to do? Beat them up? Or lock them in the props room as well?â
âThere are many ways to solve a problem, okay? But if you always face problems with such a passive attitude, you will forever be the one getting bullied!
Now Iâm giving you two choices. The first is to continue living your life the way you now do, and the second is to change!â
âChange? As if changing is so easy!â
âI can give you that opportunity. If youâre willing, you can come work at New E Media. I just happen to need an assistant, but New E Media doesnât want losers!â Jian Dan spoke frankly.
Mu Yi looked up at Jian Dan, but didnât say a word.
Jian Dan sighed, stood up~
âThink it over, if you figure it out, come find me before five in the afternoon!â Jian Dan said what needed to be said. The rest was Mu Yiâs choice to make.
After saying that, Jian Dan left the dining roomâ¦
Mu Yi looked up at the retreating figure of Jian Dan, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He leaned back in his chair, wearing a nonchalant expression, his eyes sparkling with a victorious joy.
âJian, whatâs going on with you? I see you seem a bit distracted today?â
âAh! It seems heâs not coming back!â She checked the time; it was nearly five oâclock.
âWho? You didnât make an appointment with my uncle, did you?â Qin Rou approached Jian Dan, raising her eyebrows suggestively.
âWhat? No! Itâs Mu Yi!â
âMu Yi, the one who came to help us last time?â
âYes, thatâs him!â
âYouâre waiting for him?â
âI was hoping he would become my assistant, but it looks like he wonât be coming after all.â Jian Dan spoke with a hint of disappointment.
âAn assistant? Why did you suddenly decide to find one?â
âItâs not suddenly! Youâre getting busier, and after the training camp, youâll definitely be even busier. How will you have time to help me? Of course, I need to find an assistant to handle some things!â
âBut why him?â
âJust a feeling! I felt he had a bit of fight in him, but now it seems, perhaps it was just my imagination.â Jian Dan shrugged.
âIâm here!â
Just when Jian Dan thought he wouldnât come back, Mu Yi unexpectedly appeared, and the Mu Yi of this moment seemed different from before.
Qin Rou could hardly believe that the person approaching them was really Mu Yi.
