The Sound of Autumn, Just Like the First Meeting

Zhang Chujian never dreamed that one offhand remark at a job fair would change someone’s life, including her own.

That day, she mistook an ordinarily dressed man for a fellow job seeker. As she helped him pick up his résumé, she chattered away about flaws in the products made by some AI company.

He listened without saying a word, then turned and left.

A week later, she got a call from an unfamiliar number. She thought it was an interview notification, but when she walked in, she found that so-called “fellow job seeker” sitting in the boss’s chair.

His name was Ji Qiusheng, a serial entrepreneur with a fortune in the tens of millions and the most untouchable person in the entire company.

Then he said, “That flaw you mentioned last time. Tell me the rest.”

And just like that, Zhang Chujian somehow landed a job, and somehow found her way into his heart.

He couldn’t say sweet things, but he remembered every food she couldn’t eat.

He didn’t understand romance, but he always stood between her and every danger.

In three months, he made himself part of her everyday life.

Then, with three seconds of silence, he personally destroyed it all.

She walked out that door with a smile and never looked back.

Only later did he learn that she had stood outside for three minutes.

He waited for her to fall apart, but she was doing just fine.

He waited for her to look back, but she refused to spare him a glance.

For the first time in his life, Ji Qiusheng understood what it meant to want something you could never have.

So this was what it felt like.

The wife-chasing crematorium is now open!
