Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The spring festival was approaching.

If she had to rate her antic.i.p.ation for the spring festival when she was a child at 100 points, that score had been gradually decreasing with age.

With the busy work schedule, the festive atmosphere had been growing fainter, and sometimes she even had to work overtime on New Year’s Eve, making it difficult to summon excitement for the spring festival.

However, this year, due to some special circ.u.mstances, the entire Whale company started their spring break a week early, and the whole company was in a festive mood.

If the spring festival itself was included, then the entire spring festival had a total of 15 days of long holidays!

Lu An had mentioned to Jin Nian that she wanted to take her to Hong Kong for the spring festival this year. However, Lu An had told her that if she didn’t want to go, they wouldn’t.

What Lu An didn’t know was that Jin Nian had visited Hong Kong alone many years ago.

It was shortly after she had taken the college entrance exam. Jin Nian had found out that Lu An had returned to Hong Kong. Lu An was furious when she learned that Jin Nian had changed her university choice. Unable to contact Lu An, Jin Nian had impulsively purchased a plane ticket to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong was an unfamiliar place for Jin Nian. She wasn’t familiar with the location or the people, so how could she find Lu An?

As soon as the plane had landed, she had begun regretting her decision.

To make matters worse, not long after she had stepped onto the streets of Hong Kong, she realized her wallet had been stolen.

At that moment, Jin Nian had wanted to cry but had held back her tears.

With nothing left, she had no choice but to seek help from the police.

However, Jin Nian had never mentioned any of this to Lu An.

Jin Nian didn’t have a particularly positive impression of Hong Kong due to these past experiences, and she still had some reservations about the place.

However, Lu An’s wealthy and influential family members were all in Hong Kong, and she and Lu An were legally married. Not going would have been impolite.

Tomorrow was the start of the spring festival’s break, and today was the last day of work. Jin Nian had seen Gao Qingming, who was preparing to pack up and leave.

Seeing him, Jin Nian was somewhat surprised.

She didn’t know that Gao Qingming was resigning, and no one in the company had informed her.

Today, Gao Qingming didn’t dress as outlandishly as usual. He was carrying a box in his hand containing some miscellaneous items he planned to take with him after resigning.

Even so, Gao Qingming still had an antagonistic air about him.

Since everyone in the company had learned about Jin Nian and Lu An’s relationship, some people’s att.i.tudes towards Jin Nian had changed drastically. Some were very accommodating, while others were overly enthusiastic.

Gao Qingming, on the other hand, hadn’t changed his att.i.tude towards Jin Nian. To him, Jin Nian was like air.

Although Lu An had said that if Jin Nian didn’t like someone in the company, she could just fire them, in reality, Jin Nian wasn’t that willful.

Gao Qingming had taken the initiative to resign.

When he first learned of Jin Nian’s ident.i.ty, he was quite shocked.

Despite harboring feelings of jealousy and envy towards Jin Nian, there was nothing he could do about it.

After working together for so long, he was very aware of Jin Nian’s work ability and her usual interactions with people. But he was reluctant to acknowledge Jin Nian as an outstanding girl.

He was already the leader of the makeup team, whereas Jin Nian was still only a deputy team leader.

He always consoled himself by saying that it wasn’t a big deal, but he couldn’t help but secretly compete with her in every small detail.

Jin Nian and Gao Qingming had a peculiar relationship. They often argued and didn’t seem to get along. But now that he was about to leave, Jin Nian realized she was going to miss him.

Jin Nian took the initiative to greet Gao Qingming, her tone soft. “Why are you suddenly resigning? Aren’t you doing well here?”

Gao Qingming, with a smirk, replied, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”

Jin Nian sighed. “Don’t judge a person’s intentions based on your own. I never thought of it that way.”

Gao Qingming raised an eyebrow. “Are you calling me a villain again?”

Jin Nian smiled wryly. “It’s the last day. Can’t we avoid arguing?”

“I’m not arguing with you. Get out of the way.”

Unexpectedly, Jin Nian stood in front of Gao Qingming and blocked his path.

Gao Qingming tilted his head, his expression suggesting he was challenging her.

Jin Nian didn’t intend to do anything, after all, they were colleagues. She said, “I wish you a happy Chinese New Year in advance and all the best in your future endeavors.”

Hearing this, Gao Qingming narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, “What do you mean?”

“That’s what I meant just now! You have to understand that you’ve always been the one who took the initiative to find trouble with me. I’ve never taken the initiative to find trouble with you!”

Jin Nian looked proud and said, “I, as an adult, won’t lower myself to the level of petty individuals..”
