Chapter 717: Youth. Missed Opportunity

so he will eventually come back." 。"Now who still has that old idea, as long as the children live well, whether they are around or not, parents are happy. " 。Wen Lan is truly open-minded. 。Zhu Yunan...My heart hasn't pounded this hard in ages, not even when overcoming a technical hurdle or developing the best product. Those thrills pale in comparison to this moment. He thought, maybe it was fate after all, that he could meet her upon returning home.

Two taxis drove to Senzhou University, one after the other.

But halfway there, Tinglan looked at the time and realized it was almost time for her tutoring lesson. Lin Zhixuan then asked the driver to change the route and take her to her tutoring class.

Upon arriving, he got off the car and waved goodbye to Lin Zhixuan inside. Then, he ran all the way into the residential compound towards his student's home.

From the beginning to the end, Zhu Yuan never had a chance to meet her formally.

From the initial surprise and excitement, to now calming down but feeling a bit timid, I don't know how to greet her.

Listening has been a long time!

Tinglan, do you remember me

Ting Lan, I am Zhuo Yu'an.

It seems like nothing is right.

The driver stopped the car by the roadside and asked, "Are you still going"

Zhuo Yu'an didn't even know why Tinglan came to this residential complex. He paid the driver and told him to leave first. He waited outside the complex himself.

Just waiting around aimlessly, looking a bit foolish. He didn't even have her contact information.

Midway through, Wang Yan and Wen Jian each called to ask him why he suddenly ran back to China Was it to discuss a cooperation Had he settled in alright

"Personal matters, I'll go back in two days."

Only then did he remember the true reason for his return. It was because he had seen Lu Kuai's video, and the man in the video had stirred something within him that he couldn't ignore.

As dusk fell, this residential complex, a high-end housing area, stood out as a haven of peace amidst the bustling city center. Separated by lush greenery from the urban chaos, it was a tranquil oasis. He sat on a wooden bench near the small garden at the entrance of the complex, using his phone to research information.

A 16-story office building, the boss of Shiyan Network Information Technology Company, Shiyan.

There was a picture of him on the company website. Zhuo Yu'an paused his scrolling, enlarged and reduced the photo several times, then repeatedly watched the man in Lu Kuo's video. The figures perfectly matched.

He had been sitting on a bench outside the complex for a while, and the security guard at the entrance couldn't help but come over to ask him what was wrong

Zhuo Yu'an asked: Was the girl who just went in a resident here

Before the security guard could answer, a car slowly drove in from outside. The security guard hurried over to raise the barrier and greeted them at the same time.

"Mr. Shi is back."

The driver's side window was rolled down, allowing a view of Mr. Shi's handsome profile.

The security guard only hurried over to answer the question after watching the car enter the compound: "That girl doesn't live here, she's a tutor."

But when he came over, all he saw was the back of the young man who had just left in large strides, which seemed strange and inexplicable.

Zhuo Y uan this time back to China, did not even tell Lu Kuo, and flew away directly, as if he had never come back. Many years later, Zhuo Y uan also reflected on himself, his repeated misses with Tinglan and the wasted years between them, did he make a mistake

How could there not be His innate pride and arrogance, or so-called self-respect, made him think he was superior, causing the two of them to miss countless opportunities.

After finishing his tutoring at Tinglan's place, he took the last bus back to Sen Da. It was already very late.

After a few songs and advertisements played on the bus's advertising screen, some news would also be inserted. Tinglan was watching the night scenery outside the window, suddenly, she heard a familiar name again, it was the name she had heard in Mr. Shi's company elevator this afternoon.

Zhuo Yu'an, Zhuoyuan Technology, young and promising etc.

This time, she seriously looked at the short message on the advertisement screen and confirmed that this Zhuo Yu'an should be her former high school classmate. She had forgotten about this person since the night she graduated from high school.

I vaguely remember Cheng Chen saying he went abroad for further study. Looking at the news, I feel a sense of admiration. This guy is quite impressive. While most of our classmates are either enjoying their carefree university life or, like me, struggling to keep up, he has already achieved such dazzling success in his field.

After getting off the bus, she ran all the way into school to get in before the gate closed. She brushed it off her mind, after all, it was a completely different world and unrelated people.

Back in the dorm, Lin Zhiyao poked her head out of bed listlessly.

“Shushu, I left your dinner in the thermos.”

"Good. What's wrong" Tinglan put down her schoolbag and asked with a bit of concern.

"It's okay, you should go eat and sleep quickly."

After Lin Zhizhuo finished speaking, he retreated back into his own bed.

Staring blankly at their phone.

Shi Yan wouldn't pass through her WeChat, she just spoke to him in the friend application dialog box, she was practically bewitched.

Just moments ago, Shi Yan suddenly approved her friend request. Before she could even express her surprise, he sent a simple message:

Miss Lin, you disturbed me.

It's so cold and heartless.

At this point, Lin Zhixuan knew that the other person was truly not interested in her.

"Okay," she replied with two words, and sent a crying face emoji along, showing that she was willing to compromise.

After that, I was afraid he would delete it again, so I didn't dare to send him any more messages.

But this person, besides occasionally forwarding industry news in their circle of friends, never updates it. She wants to know more about him, but has no idea where to start.

But Lin Zhifei wasn't the kind of person who backed down when faced with difficulties, instead, he became even more courageous. He didn't send messages to disturb her, but he did post one update on his WeChat Moments every day, visible only to Shi Yan.

Her Moments feed was rich, and to catch his eye she didn't just share her own life; she also occasionally posted news from their industry. Their company did software development for IoT applications, which Lin Zhifan didn't really understand, so she'd sometimes add captions:

The Internet of Things

Does the electronic barcode system of a supermarket also belong to the category of the Internet of Things

This is intentionally sent to Shi Yan, expecting him to answer her this simple question.

But of course, no one would pay her any attention.

A few days later, she posted another message on her social media, asking with the fearless attitude of someone in the dark:

A drug traceability system in a hospital pharmacy, would that also fall under the category of the Internet of Things

Of course, these were her own clever ideas, visible only to his friends on social media. In the end, they all fell flat, with no replies.

After that, she just relaxed and posted some of her daily life in class or participating in school club activities every day.

There was a turn of events after the start of their senior year. Their company came to the school for an autumn campus recruitment fair. Because Tinglan had been in touch with the company's HR manager, she went there to help out.

I can't help with anything else, but posting job ads, putting up banners, and handing out flyers, she's really good at that.

After the entire recruitment fair was set up, Lin Zhifei took two photos and sent them to Shi Yan.

Then, I just want to tell you that the recruitment venue of your company is the most professional I've ever seen, give a leg raise to the HR sister.to the point of despair nor listless. He remained composed and collected, going to work as usual, socializing as usual, and charming clients with ease.The only time he lost his composure was once when...
