交谈了十分钟后,老刘满心欢喜。
大手一挥,相当大方给江年批了大后天的请假条,并顺嘴问了一句他请假去干什么。
“没什么,考科目二。”
“哦哦,那你去.....嗯?”老刘要素察觉,虎哥式...
Jiang Year looked up at Old Liu, a hint of confusion on his face. "Uh, what do you mean?" he asked, trying to sound nonchalant despite the awkwardness.
Old Liu''s eyes sparkled with amusement as he leaned back in his chair. "I meant, are you going to be studying for your exams or just taking it easy?"
Jiang Year chuckled nervously, feeling a flush rise to his cheeks. "Uh, well... I was planning on studying, but maybe taking some breaks too."
Old Liu nodded thoughtfully, his expression serious once again. "Of course, of course. You need to take care of yourself before the exams. But don''t forget to stay focused and motivated."
Jiang Year let out a sigh of relief, feeling grateful that Old Liu wasn''t going to press him for more information. He had been trying to avoid talking about his divorce and the custody battle with his ex-wife, Li Meng.
As he stood up to leave, Old Liu handed him a large envelope. "Here, take this with you. It''s your pay slip for last month."
Jiang Year took the envelope, feeling a surge of gratitude towards Old Liu. He had been struggling to make ends meet since his divorce, and it was a huge relief to finally get some financial support.
"Thanks, Old Liu," he said sincerely, tucking the envelope into his pocket.
Old Liu smiled warmly at him. "Anytime, Jiang Year. You''re like a son to me."
Jiang Year''s heart swelled with emotion as he looked at Old Liu. He had always admired and respected the old man, but now he felt a deep sense of gratitude towards him.
As he turned to leave, Old Liu called out to him again. "Oh, and one more thing!"
Jiang Year turned back around, feeling a hint of trepidation. What did Old Liu want?
"Be careful with that woman you''re dating," Old Liu said, his expression serious. "I don''t know much about her, but I get the impression she''s trouble."
Jiang Year''s eyes widened in surprise, and he felt a flush rise to his cheeks once again. How did Old Liu know about his new girlfriend?
"Uh, yeah... I''m trying to be careful," Jiang Year stammered, feeling defensive.
Old Liu nodded understandingly. "I just want what''s best for you, that''s all. Don''t let anyone take advantage of you."
Jiang Year nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Old Liu once again. He knew he could always count on him to be there for him.
As he left the office building, Jiang Year couldn''t shake off the feeling that Old Liu had seen right through him. But despite his reservations, he felt a sense of hope and renewal wash over him.
He took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill his lungs, and smiled to himself. Today was going to be a new day, full of possibilities and challenges.
But little did Jiang Year know, Old Liu had just triggered something within him...
