Xin Qianyu’s words were like a gushing river, knocking David, Rui Lei and the others into a daze. Before they could recover from the shock, Xin Qianyu had already pulled Su Zhong and walked away, leaving for them the backs of two handsome men to look at.
There was silence at the table for a long time before a colleague who studied mainly education said shakily, “So, I seem to remember that Yuzhuo Group is a family business, and the chairman is surnamed Xin…”
“It can’t be such a coincidence, right?” Rui Lei murmured as if remembering something. “By the way, Xin Qianyu said that he teaches English.”
Everyone’s expressions were a little weird. After all, they had thought Su Zhong’s boyfriend was a pushover who was merely idling away and waiting to die. Who could have guessed that he was a young master who had experienced life?
However, David would not lose his imposing manner even if he lost to the person. He smiled stiffly. “Even if it is so, so what? Added up, their whole family does not earn enough to make a fraction of what our company makes.”
This was the truth. The Yuzhuo Group had not been listed, and what it earned was tuition fees, which could be seen clearly, and was different from the financial industry. The money an education group could make was usually insufficient for even one of the capital boss’s fingers.
Therefore, the Yuzhuo Group was like a pellet compared to David’s company.
Everyone nodded and said that Xin Qianyu was nothing. But in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the Yuzhuo Group had the surname Xin, but the fund company did not share David’s surname.
However, there were many workers in the world who have been working on big platforms for a long time, enjoying the many privileges brought to them by big platforms, and they felt that this was their own privilege. Mistakenly regarding the strength of the platform as one’s own strength.
This mentality was difficult to change, and even many highly intelligent parties may be unable to understand this.
Su Zhong never had this mentality at all, and he was a very down-to-earth person.
His temperament was very stable, and even the ridicule of David and the others earlier did not affect his emotions.
Xin Qianyu did not have such a good temper, so he stabbed David with a few words. Of course, he also knew that his mocking was not actually painful to David, but David’s “blocking” of Su Zhong was real.
After Xin Qianyu sat down and saw no one around, he frowned and asked Su Zhong, “Zhong Ge, are they telling the truth? Are you being blocked? No way to continue on Financial Street?”
Su Zhong said, “Well, that is the current situation.”
Xin Qianyu originally had some wishful thinking, but now that Su Zhong said that, he thoroughly understood the situation. This was a big shock.
Xin Qianyu moved his lips, looking a little dumbfounded. “Then, what are you going to do?”
Su Zhong was calm. “I’ll probably go to Wall Street.”
Xin Qianyu was taken aback for a moment. “Wall Street…?”
Su Zhong nodded and said, “It’s more suitable over there.”
Xin Qianyu blinked and forced himself to come back to his senses. “The Wall Street you’re talking about is the Wall Street of the United States?”

But Wall Street was in the United States!
The United States was half the world away!
Xin Qianyu’s mind was in a daze. “Have you thought about it?”
“The quantitative model I changed my focus to is also more convenient to research there.” Su Zhong said. “It’s not really popular yet in this country and is much more developed on Wall Street. M-global is particularly cutting-edge in this regard, and the direction of research and development is also consistent with the focus of my research.”
Hearing Su Zhong mention these details, Xin Qianyu’s mind suddenly became clear. He opened his eyes wide. “Has M-global already contacted you? Have you already planned to go there?”
Su Zhong replied, “Well, I’ve already been contacted, but some details have not been finalized yet.”
Xin Qianyu’s brain buzzed and his fingertips became cold as if soaked in icy water. “Oh, so you have already decided to go to the United States, but you didn’t tell me?”
Su Zhong said, “It’s not completely settled yet.”
“Have you considered everything?” Xin Qianyu’s voice sounded very cold. “How long have you been in contact with M-global?”
“More than two months.” Su Zhong said.
When Xin Qianyu heard this, his heart jumped again. “It’s been more than two months? Meaning it happened before you mentioned your resignation to the company?”
“Yes.” Su Zhong replied.
David’s guess at the time was actually correct. Su Zhong was not the kind of person who resigned on impulse. M-global had contact with Su Zhong, and Su Zhong learned that M-global’s environment was more suitable for him, so naturally, he resigned.
David was a step behind, thinking that Su Zhong could only choose an institution on Financial Street if he changed jobs, but he did not know that Su Zhong had already jumped to Wall Street.
But it was useless for David to know. He could still get by playing on Financial Street, but who on Wall Street knew him?
Of course, it was not important that David did not know Su Zhong’s direction, but it was very shocking for Xin Qianyu not to know.
Xin Qianyu had a headache as if someone had pierced his head with a needle. He had a lot of thoughts. What Su Zhong was doing, he did not know at all. He did not know that Su Zhong resigned. He did not know that Su Zhong was poached. He also did not know that Su Zhong was going to the United States.
He did not know what position he had in Su Zhong’s heart.
Xin Qianyu was in a daze. After seeing the waiter serve the food, he did not move his chopsticks either. Until Su Zhong asked him, “Why aren’t you eating?” Xin Qianyu suddenly raised his head. “Then what should we do?”
Su Zhong did not seem to understand.
How could the sentence “Why aren’t you eating?” be connected with “Then what should we do?”
Su Zhong asked, “What?”
Xin Qianyu’s lips were dry. He licked his lower lip subconsciously. His lips became drier and a little painful. “If you go to the United States, what should we do?”
Su Zhong said, “I have already agreed with the other side that I’ll only go for one year and will come back after a year.”
“Agreed, all agreed…” Xin Qianyu’s lips were irritated. “Who did you agree with?”
Su Zhong finally noticed that Xin Qianyu did not seem to approve. He asked, “Do you have any opinions?”
This sounded like a provocation: do you have any opinions?
Xin Qianyu was on a short fuse and wanted to flip the table.
But he could not explode in front of Su Zhong. As soon as the anger in his heart rose, the fire would go out after meeting Su Zhong’s impervious eyes. It sizzled, and his heart and lungs were the ones burning.
Xin Qianyu’s spiritual energy curled up, and he said weakly, “You’ve already decided. What opinion can I have?”
After speaking, Xin Qianyu picked up his chopsticks. The chopsticks allocated to customers in the “Koi Pond” were, of course, Japanese-style chopsticks. The ends of the chopsticks were very pointed. When Xin Qianyu’s hand paused, the sharp front ends of the chopsticks were inserted into the soft meat of the salmon, which hurt a little when looking at it.
After returning home from the “Koi Pond” after dinner, Su Zhong asked Xin Qianyu again, “Do you have an opinion on my decision?”
Xin Qianyu said like a sulky lover, “No, how could I have an opinion?”
Su Zhong said, “Really?”
“Really.” Xin Qianyu said loudly, not knowing if it was to convince Su Zhong or to convince himself.
Su Zhong said, “Then that’s good.”
Xin Qianyu felt like he was about to have a heart attack.
The next day, when Xin Qianyu went to work, he was particularly absent-minded and missed several numbers. Director Zhu of the Department of Education and Research gave him a warning. Director Zhu was an old man in the company and was related to the Xin family, so he dared to stand up to Xin Qianyu. He took up the attitude of an old-timer and said, “Young people should not act without thinking when doing things. Ah, you have to be careful. Education can only be done with your heart.”
Xin Qianyu was usually very arrogant, but he understood the principle of “admitting to a mistake”. This time, he did make a mistake in his work, so he did not lash out at anyone. He nodded at Director Zhu and said, “Thank you very much. Otherwise, it would have gone really wrong. I’ll be careful in future.”
Director Zhu seemed to be a little surprised. He did not seem to expect that the famous young Master Xin would apologise so easily. The words he had prepared would not come out. He nodded and said, “That’s good, that’s good.”
As usual, Xin Qianyu had lunch with Zhu Zhu and Zhu Pu. He told the two of them that Su Zhong was going to the United States. When Zhu Pu heard this, he was very unhappy. “He didn’t even discuss such a big matter with you? What kind of boyfriend is this?”
Although Xin Qianyu thought so too, he could not stand to hear others say bad things about Su Zhong. So, Xin Qianyu argued, “I have never discussed with him my change of posts in the group. We are like this and don’t interfere much with each other’s work.”
“Oh.” Zhu Pu said, “Then what are you upset about?”
Xin Qianyu was stuck and angrily did not speak.
Zhu Zhu frowned with her thick natural eyebrows and said, “Between lovers, it’s better to open up and talk about it! If you’re really unhappy, you should tell him!”
“What’s the use of telling him?” Xin Qianyu said, embarrassed. “Will he not go to the United States because I am unhappy?”
Zhu Zhu was puzzled. “Are you angry at the fact that he’s going to the United States? I thought the focus of your anger was that he didn’t discuss it with you in advance.”
Xin Qianyu paused.
He did not seem to have analyzed his mentality at all. What was the focus of his anger?
Ah, it was so complicated.
Xin Qianyu felt that his mood was very complicated, and he could not understand it himself.
Zhu Zhu looked at Xin Qianyu seriously and said, “Xiaoyu, were you so high maintenance when you were dating?”
Xin Qianyu’s hair bristled. High maintenance? Who was high maintenance? I was high maintenance? How was I high maintenance?
Zhu Pu formed a united front with Xin Qianyu. His hair bristled, and he said irritably, “Our Prince Xin is nobility! He should be cherished! How could it be called high maintenance?”
“I didn’t say that Xiaoyu wasn’t nobility.” Zhu Zhu said. “But nobility needs to be taken care of by a master gardener.” I think this Su Zhong is terrible. He’s so careless and can’t be counted on to raise flowers. Asking him to chop wood would be more like it.”
What Zhu Zhu said was right. Su Zhong was very observant and careful, but he was very careless about social issues. Xin Qianyu went home that day and found Su Zhong packing his bags.
Even Xin Qianyu was dumbfounded. “You…”
Su Zhong said, “I’m going to the United States next month.”
Xin Qianyu choked on a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.
Xin Qianyu had told Su Zhong “Since you have decided to go to the United States, then I have no problem.” Su Zhong took it for granted that Xin Qianyu had no problem, and Su Zhong could fly to Wall Street unhindered.
Oh god, is this lack of empathy some kind of disease? i hope i never fall for someone like Su Zhong.
By the way, thank you for the chapter.
😘
Thanks for the update
At least qianyu was staying within the country, this guy is moving half the world away without even discussing with his LOVER!? of course qianyu would be upset that he got ZERO heads up and had ZERO input even though this will HEAVILY affect their relationship.
right? i think ML is a scum in certain way.
