Chapter 1220: Chapter 1224: Recall for a moment… Chapter 1220: Chapter 1224: Recall for a moment… Xia Yangyang was surprised.

She had only just started thinking about leaving the TV station.

How did Old Bai seem to have foreseen it already?

Old Bai looked at Xia Yangyang’s astonished face and said with surprise, “Your personality doesn’t suit the complicated relationships at the TV station, and the station manager cares more about profit. In such an environment, I reckon you would soon grow tired of it.”

Xia Yangyang sighed, “I’m just a bit hesitant, not sure if I should give up.”

“Everyone says it takes courage to do what you want to do, but I think it takes even more courage to not do what you don’t want to do. The most important thing for people is time. If you feel like you’re wasting time, then give it up.”

Xia Yangyang smiled, “Back then, it was me who dragged you here. I just feel very sorry.”

Old Bai said, “It’s okay; it was my choice. You don’t need to worry about me. But Yangyang, you should think about what it is that you really want to do.”

Xia Yangyang’s heart felt like it had been struck by something.

After returning, Xia Yangyang kept pondering over this question.

What was it that she really wanted to do?

She had never doubted her love for journalism.

Because she liked to explore the truth of things.

That’s why she studied journalism.

And worked in this field.

But besides this, Xia Yangyang had never considered any other possibilities.

Yet, she just suddenly felt tired of it all.

Maybe it was because she had seen truths buried by various things.

Maybe it was the feeling of powerlessness behind many truths.

Maybe it was the constant danger and passivity it forced her into.

Xia Yangyang stood alone by the window, deep in thought, for a long time.

Until Gu Qichen came in, Xia Yangyang didn’t notice.

Gu Qichen walked over and gently hugged Xia Yangyang from behind, “What’s on your mind to be so absorbed?”

“Ah Chen, I want to resign.”

Gu Qichen asked, “Did something happen?”

Xia Yangyang shook her head, “Just tired, I want to take a rest.”

Gu Qichen said, “Then resign, it’s not like I can’t support you.”

Xia Yangyang said, “I don’t want you to support me; a woman loses her charm when she’s completely dependent on a man.”

Gu Qichen frowned, “Who said that?”

Xia Yangyang thought for a moment, “Lu Xun.”

“Lu Xun probably never said that a man loses his charm when he’s completely dependent on a woman either, so why don’t you support me?”

“I don’t have a job, how can I support you?”

“You come work at Shengyuan, as my superior.”

So Gu Qichen was subtly trying to arrange a job for her at Shengyuan.

Xia Yangyang said, “No, I’m not going to work at Shengyuan. I’ve already parachuted in once; I can’t just waltz in a second time.”

Gu Qichen said, “You saying that reminds me of the days when you interned at the secretarial department at Shengyuan. Back then, you were always lingering near me, distracting me from work, making me think of only…”

Xia Yangyang dissatisfied, “What do you mean ‘lingering near you’? It was you who always nitpicked for no reason, calling me into the office to scold me, and then while scolding me you would just…”

Xia Yangyang’s face turned red with the memories.

Gu Qichen’s voice carried a hint of laughter, “Then what?”

Seeing the sly smile playing around Gu Qichen’s eyes, Xia Yangyang knew exactly what he was thinking.

Xia Yangyang pursed her lips and huffed, “I’ve forgotten.”

Gu Qichen kissed Xia Yangyang’s lips directly, “Forgotten? Then let me help you remember…”
