Ning Jin met Wen Ruo while working in a bar, and because he recognized her as a popular figure in their school at first glance, he jokingly threatened her and left three unknown requests with her. Later on, in some trivial matters, Ning Jin developed feelings for Wen Ruo. Even after Wen Ruo established a relationship with Feng Yangao, Ning Jin once used those three promises to ask her to be with him. Compared to the silently guarding Qi Yan, the second male lead, Ning Jin is more like a raging wind obstructing a ship in the vast sea, taking the initiative but not winning anyone's heart.

As for Ning Jin, Qi Yan did not want to pay any attention to her, because he did not want to get involved with Ning Jin.

The next morning, while Qi Yan was still in bed, Ning Jin quietly slipped back. He not only smelled strongly of alcohol but also looked like he hadn't gotten enough sleep. However, he did not go back on his word and brought back the famous sweet buns and freshly ground soy milk from Chen's Restaurant for Qi Yan.

Qiyin was startled awake when he entered the room and saw him lying tiredly on his own bed. Unable to help himself, he spoke up, "Are you so exhausted because you stayed up late? Don't you have class today?"

In the early morning, Qi Yan's voice was a bit hoarse. After finishing speaking, he got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, Ning Jin was staring at the ceiling, without any intention of going to sleep.

"Don't you sleep?"

Ning Jin fell silent for a moment and said incredulously, "I saw Wen Ruo at the bar last night."

As the bag was opened, Qiyen's heart skipped a beat: the plot had already begun to unfold!

"You're saying, why would such a good young girl go work at a place like that?" Ning Jin seemed both puzzled and regretful as she spoke.

Qi Yan naturally picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. After chewing and swallowing, he glanced at him with a faint smile and asked, "What about you? You were such a top student. Why do you always go to that kind of place?"

"...Isn't this me searching for self-liberation?" Ning Jin was choked for a moment, then started using that so-called liberalism to evade this question again.

"I don't understand you," Qi Yan finished eating a sweet bun and took another one. "But that forged medical record was impressive. After the dormitory supervisor glanced at it, he looked at me in shock and said, 'That kid finally got what he deserved...'"

"Pfft—!" Ning Jin sneezed and muttered, "Why is that old man always staring at me?"

"Who allowed you to always play 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'? The master thought it was real this time, so he was a little happy."

"... Times have really changed," Ning Jin muttered, turning around and facing the wall. "I'm going to sleep now. Lock the door from the outside when you leave, okay?"

Qi Yan nodded and continued eating breakfast.

For someone like Qi Yan who prefers milder flavors, sweet buns can be a bit overwhelming. However, in order to not go hungry while working, Qi Yan still has to eat them.

Rongteng Corporation is renowned for its strict working hours - from nine in the morning until five in the evening without any delays or extensions. However, occasionally certain departments might need to work overtime and would have to officially apply for it. However, applying for overtime requires a valid reason, otherwise it won't be approved!

The dormitory is quite far from Rongteng, taking about two hours by bus. Qi Yan usually leaves at half past six to prevent any unexpected incidents along the way and have some time to deal with them if necessary.

When I arrived at the planning department, almost everyone was there. A senior colleague went to buy coffee and also brought a cup for Qi Yan.

"This is to reward everyone for working overtime last night! A cup of coffee! Don't be picky, everyone!" The Minister of Planning Department symbolically raised his cup, and a group of rough men lifted their cups of hot coffee in response, with an imposing air of "drink up and get back to work!"

After taking a sip of coffee, everyone returned to their respective positions to work. However, the minister lingered for a while and waved his hand when his gaze met with Qi Yan's.

"Qi Yan, come over here for a moment."
