Chapter 331: Fang Ya's New Job
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Section Chief stood where he was and did not recover for a full five minutes.
The people in the office did not even dare to take a deep breath. They kept their heads down and pretended to work.
After a long while, the Section Chief finally returned to his senses. He smacked Fang Ya's desk fiercely. "I want to see how long she will stay arrogant."
Xing Na quietly raised her head from her desk and glanced at the Section Chief.
He noticed her gaze and immediately scolded Xing Na fiercely, "What are you looking at! Aren't you working yet? Do you want to be thrown out?"
Xing Na immediately lowered her head and started writing rapidly in her notebook. No one knew what she was writing.
The Section Chief returned to his seat. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and panted heavily.
After a long time, he finally reacted.
Fang Ya did not take anything with her.
After Fang Ya left the office, she first went to Nie Jun's office to say hello.
Nie Jun was buried in front of his desk, studying something.
Because he was already a little old, Nie Jun raised his glasses and intently studied the materials in front of him. His expression was very serious.
"Secretary!" Fang Ya walked to Nie Jun's desk and greeted him.
Nie Jun then raised his head and looked at Fang Ya. "Fang Ya, why are you here?"
"Oh, I was just about to go out. I came to see if you need any help here," Fang Ya said with a smile.
"Go out?" Nie Jun looked at Fang Ya strangely. "Who arranged it?"
"Our Section Chief!" Fang Ya said with a smile, and then asked, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Nie Jun nodded and did not forget to remind her, "If you encounter any problems at work, remember to look for me!"
Fang Ya smiled and said, "You still don't have faith in me!"
Nie Jun nodded in agreement and said, "If it wasn't for He Feng, that kid, who couldn't bear to part with you, I think you would be excellent as an assistant!"
"By the way, has your new assistant not arrived yet?" Fang Ya asked curiously.
Two days ago, she heard that the new assistant assigned to Nie Jun had already arrived at his post, but today, she did not see him.
Nie Jun could not help but sigh and said, "Sigh, I scolded him and he ran away yesterday!"
Fang Ya was stunned for a moment, then she asked, "How could he have scolded him and ran away? What about today? Didn't he come?"
Nie Jun looked at Fang Ya with an aggrieved expression. "Yes! He never returned! After I was done here, I will get someone to ask what happened."
Fang Ya gave a helpless smile. She did not expect that the secretary to be in such a predicament.
It was said that this assistant was a very capable person assigned by the municipal government.
His pride in his skills was probably the reason he could not stand Nie Jun's temper and fled.
Fang Ya did not know whether to sympathize with Nie Jun or shake her head in exasperation. Not many people could stand Nie Jun's temper.
When she was an assistant, she did not work much with Nie Jun, and most of the time, He Feng was involved.
Nie Jun seemed to think highly of her and never really lost his temper.
Ever since Nie Jun returned to his post, Fang Ya had received a few earfuls from him as he was organizing his files.
Although most of them were not aimed at Fang Ya, Fang Ya also secretly lamented that Nie Jun's temper was indeed above what humans could achieve.
Now that she thought about it, that new assistant probably had never met someone with such a bad temper, so he could not stand it and ran away.
Nie Jun urged Fang Ya to deal with her matters as soon as possible. Nie Jun would naturally send someone over to take over.
Fang Ya also knew that with her current status, it was indeed not suitable for her to participate in too much of Nie Jun's work.
After leaving the government office building, Fang Ya went straight to the ground floor of an office building in the city center.

Chapter 332: Lin Xiang
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ya pushed open a wooden door. On the mottled door panel, there were a few holes and even wooden spikes.
Fang Ya carefully poked her head in, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
A voice came from the corner of the room, "Who are you looking for?"
Fang Ya looked in that direction but did not see anyone. She could only ask again, "Is Mr. Lin Xiang here?"
That person replied with a hum and said, "Yes! What's the matter?"
Fang Ya frowned and tried to look in that direction again. Seeing that no one was coming out, she said, "I want to ask Mr. Lin to help me write a computer script."
After a series of crackling sounds, a man wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and a pair of slippers walked out from behind a few cardboard boxes.
The man had a head of messy hair. He kicked away the boxes in front of him before walking towards Fang Ya.
"You're looking for me?" The man looked Fang Ya up and down before asking.
Fang Ya did not like the way the man looked at her, but she still nodded and said, "Yes! Mr. Lin, I want to ask you for a favor."
Fang Ya knew who Lin Xiang was. This man was a new tech upstart who would dominate the headlines of all the major newspapers and magazines in ten years!
However, it seemed that Lin Xiang was still looking down and out.
Fang Ya could not help but sigh. The man who looked so well-dressed in the newspapers and magazines was currently looking so sloppy.
Lin Xiang looked at Fang Ya again, then moved aside, wanting to let Fang Ya walk in.
Fang Ya was about to take a step, but hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't know if it's convenient for you, shall we go out and have a chat?"
Lin Xiang turned to look at his "office", then nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go!"
Fang Ya was stunned for a moment, then slightly turned to block Lin Xiang's way, "That, don't you need to tidy up a little?"
Lin Xiang looked at her from head to toe before waving his hand. "No need! No one knows me!"
Fang Ya let out an "ah" before awkwardly pursing her lips and nodding her head in resignation.
The two of them walked up from the ground floor to the hall on the first floor. Under the curious gazes of the crowd, they walked out of the building.
Fang Ya led Lin Xiang to a nearby teahouse.
Fang Ya remembered that Lin Xiang had mentioned during the interview that he had a deep love for classic tea.
Fang Ya wanted to suit Lin Xiang's interest, so she chose this reputable teahouse.
Lin Xiang did not expect Fang Ya to bring him to the teahouse. When he reached the door, he hesitated.
Fang Ya smiled at Lin Xiang and said, "I made a reservation. Let's go in!"
Lin Xiang thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and followed Fang Ya into the teahouse.
The teahouse was decorated very minimalistically, and it seemed to be quite old.
Fang Ya ordered a pot of tea for the two of them, then asked the waiter to prepare some more old tea. After it was packed, they were going to take it away.
Lin Xiang sipped the tea, looking relaxed and at ease. He was no longer as nervous as before when they entered the teahouse.
Fang Ya looked at Lin Xiang and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lin, are you familiar with tea?"
"Yes. When I was young, my family ran a teahouse," Lin Xiang said bluntly.
Fang Ya nodded. She had seen this in the report before.
"Where is Mr. Lin's Home?" Fang Ya continued to ask.
Lin Xiang frowned slightly, then changed the topic and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Fang Ya smiled and said to Lin Xiang, "Let me introduce myself first."
"My name is Fang Ya, I work in the District Government Archives." Fang Ya introduced herself simply.
Lin Xiang frowned and looked at Fang Ya, as if he was not interested in Fang Ya's self-introduction.
Fang Ya opened her mouth again and said, "We have some basic software there, but I hope Mr. Lin could add some scripts to it."
"What software?" Lin Xiang took a sip of tea and asked casually.
"Databank and spreadsheets." Fang Ya smiled and opened her mouth.
Lin Xiang replied without hesitation, "Not interested!"

Chapter 333: Cooperation
Fang Ya was not affected by Lin Xiang's rejection. She pondered for a moment before asking, "Then, would you be interested in the future of sharing files over the internet?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Xiang turned to look at Fang Ya. His eyes were fixed on Fang Ya as if he was on guard.
Fang Ya smiled and said, "I just have some ideas. I feel that this is a development trend in the future."
Lin Xiang did not seem to believe Fang Ya. He immediately realized something. "How do you know about me?"
Fang Ya smiled mysteriously. She did not directly answer Lin Xiang's question. Instead, she asked, "Mr. Lin, do you not want your research project to be able to be truly implemented?"
Lin Xiang looked at Fang Ya in confusion, "What do you want to do?"
"I'll pay for it, you'll develop the technology, and I'll let your project continue. However, the condition is that you help me create an electronic filing system." Fang Ya raised her conditions.
Lin Xiang looked deeply at Fang Ya and sat there without saying a word for about ten minutes.
Fang Ya was not in a hurry. She smiled and sipped her tea, waiting quietly.
Lin Xiang seemed to have finally made a decision after some mental turmoil.
He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the water in one gulp. He said bluntly, "Alright! It's settled then!"
Fang Ya also picked up the teacup in her hand and raised it in Lin Xiang's direction. She drank it in one gulp and said with a smile, "It's a deal!"
The two of them finalized the deal. After leaving the teahouse, Fang Ya handed tea leaves to Lin Xiang as soon as she walked out of the door.
Lin Xiang looked at the tea leaves in his hand and asked, "This is?"
Fang Ya smiled and said, "This is the deposit! I hope you can complete the research as soon as possible with some good tea!"
Lin Xiang smiled and looked at Fang Ya. He took the tea leaves and said with a smile, "You are quite an interesting person!"
Fang Ya reached out to Lin Xiang and said with a smile, "I hope we can work together happily!"
"Okay!" Lin Xiang also stretched out his hand and shook Fang Ya's hand.
After Fang Ya and Lin Xiang separated, they went home.
Since the Section Chief wanted to make things difficult for her, she would only be making things difficult for herself if she went back now.
Since Lin Xiang could help her write a script, her work would be sorted out quickly.
Fang Ya had just returned home when she saw He Feng riding his bicycle back.
Fang Ya frowned and thought of something.
He Feng saw Fang Ya and raised the bag in his hand.
Fang Ya stood where she was, waiting for He Feng to reach her. She smiled and asked, "Why are you so early today?"
He Feng handed the bag to Fang Ya and said, "I have something to discuss with you, so I came back early."
"Hey! It's a new cake. Hurry up while the two children are away!" He Feng said like a thief.
Fang Ya looked at He Feng oddly, then picked up a small piece of cake and put it into He Feng's mouth.
He Feng grinned, almost giddy with happiness.
Ever since she knew that He Feng liked sweet food, Fang Ya would prepare some small desserts at home from time to time.
He Feng was grateful for Fang Ya's thoughtfulness.
Because of this, He Feng also liked to bring some small gifts to Fang Ya.
Moreover, just like today, he avoided the two children and coaxed Fang Ya like a child.
The interaction between the two people downstairs was discovered by Shao Xiang, who was looking out of the window upstairs.
Shao Xiang quickly turned her head and said to He Feng's aunt, who was preparing fruits in the kitchen, "Hey, come and see! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
The aunt rushed out with a fruit knife in her hand. When she saw Shao Xiang standing by the window, she waved her hand and quickly rushed over.
The two of them stood by the window and watched the two young people feeding each other snacks downstairs with a smile. It was needless to say how happy they were.
"I told you they were a good match!" Shao Xiang looked at Fang Ya and He Feng downstairs and said happily.
Although He Feng's aunt remained silent, the smile on her face revealed her thoughts..

Chapter 334: Aunt Is Leaving
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ya and He Feng entered the door and saw Shao Xiang pursing her lips and smiling ambiguously.
Fang Ya looked at Shao Xiang uncomfortably and then saw He Feng's aunt walking over.
She was holding a plate of fruit in her hand. When she saw Fang Ya and He Feng walking in, she snorted and sat down on the sofa with the plate in her hand.
He Feng looked at Shao Xiang with some confusion and then looked at his aunt. He did not know what had happened.
Fang Ya nudged He Feng with her elbow, then raised her chin in the direction of his aunt.
He Feng understood and quickly brought the snack bag in front of his aunt. "Aunt, look, I just bought some cakes and pastries, have a taste!"
His aunt put an apple into her mouth with a fork without looking at the bag.
He Feng was at a loss, and once again looked in the direction of Fang Ya and Shao Xiang for help.
Fang Ya did not know what his aunt was unhappy about. She stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
Shao Xiang walked forward with a smile. She stuck her head into the bag and looked inside. She then sat on the other side of He Feng's aunt and said with a smile, "Ah yes, Fang Ya likes them all!"
When her aunt heard this, she snorted and stuffed another apple into her mouth.
Fang Ya blinked when she saw this. She suddenly realized that Shao Xiang and her aunt must have seen them downstairs.
He Feng's aunt's current behavior was probably because she was dissatisfied that He Feng only caring about his wife and putting her aside!
Fang Ya quickly walked forward and picked up a piece of beautifully packaged cake from the bag. She said, "Aunt, He Feng specially bought this for you and my mother!"
"Look! This is your favorite, plum!" As Fang Ya said this, she opened the package and handed it to her.
She glanced at the plum cake and did not say anything.
Fang Ya smiled and placed the cake in front of her aunt.
Then, she handed another small package of cake to Shao Xiang. "This is my mother's favorite, peach!"
Shao Xiang happily took the cake, took a bite, and ate it. "So sweet!"
As Shao Xiang spoke, she glanced in He Feng's aunt's direction.
She snorted and reluctantly picked up the plum cake from the table and took a bite.
Fang Ya and He Feng looked at each other and smiled. The "crisis" this time was finally resolved.
In the evening, Tang Tang and He Peng went home. Knowing that He Feng had bought snacks, they hurriedly rushed into the living room.
One acted cutely to Shao Xiang.
The other massaged He Feng's aunt's shoulders and legs.
The two older ladies held back their laughter and treated the small snacks in their hands as magic treasures.
At night, He Feng's aunt called her nephew over. Seeing that He Feng was clearly much more energetic than before and looked radiant, she could not help but smile.
"You look like you're doing quite well." Aunt voiced out her true thoughts.
He Feng smiled and said, "Fang Ya is quite good. She also knows how to take care of He Peng and me."
"Yes, I can see that." His aunt nodded. For the first time, she did not raise any doubts about Fang Ya.
"Aunt, she is not the kind of person you think she is. If you have any doubts about her..." He Feng wanted to explain further.
His aunt raised her hand and interrupted He Feng. "I know what you want to say."
"Over the past few days, I have come to know that Fang Ya is a kind-hearted child. She also has her own rules," his aunt said and smiled.
When he saw his aunt finally smile, the nervousness in He Feng's heart almost completely vanished.
"Then you can settle down at home. In the future, the two of us will serve you well!" As He Feng said this, a comfortable smile finally appeared on his face.
His aunt shook her head and said, "I'm not used to living in your big city."
"I think I'll go back in a few days," his aunt said as she held He Feng's hand reluctantly.
"If you have time, bring your wife and children back to visit me," she could not help but exhort.
When He Feng heard this, his eyes immediately turned red. "Aunt, you can stay! I'll be filial to you!"
His aunt smiled and shook her head, and did not speak again.

Chapter 335: Aunt's Notebook
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He Feng returned to his room with a heavy and bitter expression on his face.
Fang Ya saw that He Feng's expression was not right, so she asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter, is it your aunt?"
He Feng walked to the side of the bed and sat down dejectedly. "Aunt said that she'll head back in a few days."
Fang Ya looked at He Feng in surprise. "Back? Back to her hometown? Is she not happy living here?"
He Feng turned to look at Fang Ya and shook his head. "She's very happy!"
"She's also very worried about getting in the way of our lives, that's why she wants to go back," He Feng said, looking at Fang Ya a little mournfully.
"I don't want her to go back! I'm worried about her being alone." He Feng voiced out the worry in his heart.
Fang Ya thought about it, and after a while, she said, "I'll talk to her tomorrow."
He Feng looked deeply at Fang Ya, then gently pulled Fang Ya into his arms and hugged her tightly. "Okay! Thank you!"
Fang Ya said gloomily in He Feng's arms, "Why are you thanking me! Just make sure she scolds me less."
He Feng smiled, knowing that Fang Ya was just joking.
The next day, Fang Ya called the Section Chief. Before the other party flew into a rage, she told him that she was going out to verify the information in the files, then hung up.
Before Fang Ya went out, she went to the opposite suite.
She pushed the door open and walked in. Fang Ya saw He Feng's aunt sitting at the dining table, seemingly writing something.
Fang Ya walked up and greeted her. "Aunt, what are you busy with?"
She turned around and saw that it was Fang Ya, so she waved at her.
Fang Ya walked over obediently and sat down beside her aunt.
Looking at the small notebook in her aunt's hand, Fang Ya could not help but ask, "What is this?"
Her aunt smiled and pushed the notebook in front of Fang Ya. "These are the dishes that He Feng and He Peng like to eat."
"When I go back, remember to make them something from this list, from time to time," she said and gently held Fang Ya's hand. "From now on, I'll leave the father and son to you!"
Fang Ya shook her head and pushed the notebook back to aunt. "Aunt, I can't handle this."
"You know how my cooking is. I can't learn these dishes in such a short time!" Fang Ya exposed her shortcomings indifferently.
"In my opinion, if you want the father and son to eat comfortably, you have to stay for a few more days," Fang Ya said seriously.
He Feng's aunt shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't try to persuade me. I've talked to He Feng."
"I'm not used to living in this city. I'm still thinking about the flowers and plants in my house," she said and smiled sincerely at Fang Ya.
"I was worried about them, so I had rushed here in a hurry," she said with a comfortable smile on her face. "Now that I see that they are doing well, I'm relieved."
Fang Ya disagreed and said, "You can't be so sure! What if I am putting on an act in front of you?"
"What if I treat He Peng badly behind his back?" Fang Ya looked at He Feng's aunt with an "I am very evil" expression.
She gently patted Fang Ya's hand and smiled. "You wouldn't!"
"I can see that you are treating He Peng like your own son," she said sincerely.
"He Peng is not a child anymore. He can tell who is good to him and who is bad to him." As she spoke, she shook her head and smiled bitterly. "In the past, I was foolish and believed everything."
"But seeing is believing. Only then can you be at ease!" Fang Ya refuted. "No matter what He Feng and the others say, you can't believe it if you don't see it with your own eyes!"
He Feng's aunt looked at Fang Ya and revealed a happy smile. "You child, you really know how to be considerate of others!"
However, Fang Ya revealed a bitter smile.
Her aunt did not know what Fang Ya was really thinking. She only felt that Fang Ya was not happy to see her leave.
What Fang Ya really wanted to feel was that her thoughtfulness and understanding were only the result of decades of a bitter and hard life.
To taste the warmth of the world, one has to first know that warmth is precious!
Chapter 336: The Script Was Completed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Fang Ya did not persuade He Feng's aunt to stay, she was sure that she would not leave for the time being.
She packed her things and rushed to Lin Xiang's office.
Fang Ya pushed open the mottled wooden door again and could not help but frown.
She still did not think this was a place for humans to live in, and the cardboard box under her feet seemed to be in a worse state than it was before.
Fang Ya called into the room, "Mr. Lin? Are you there?"
Lin Xiang replied gloomily, "Yes! Come In!"
Fang Ya looked at the pile of things on the ground, thought for a moment, pushed the cardboard box in front of her with her feet, and walked into the office step by step.
Fang Ya saw Lin Xiang buried in front of the computer, typing furiously away.
Lin Xiang ignored Fang Ya. He stared intently at the computer screen, carefully studying something.
Fang Ya did not rush him. She looked around but found that there was no place to sit down, so she could only stand there quietly and wait.
Lin Xiang studied for another hour before finally letting out a low cry. Then, he suddenly stood up and stretched.
He pushed the chair away and turned around. The moment he saw Fang Ya standing behind him, he was really shocked.
"You, when did you come?" Lin Xiang almost choked on his own saliva. He pointed at Fang Ya, who was standing at the same spot and watching his antics.
Fang Ya smiled and looked at Lin Xiang with an understanding expression. "I saw that you were busy when I first came, so I didn't disturb you."
Lin Xiang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry! I lose track of everything when I start working!"
Fang Ya smiled indifferently and asked, "Have you eaten? Do you want to go out for a meal?"
Lin Xiang was about to say something, but his stomach started growling at an inappropriate time.
He instantly blushed and looked at Fang Ya awkwardly, "Well, I've been busy since last night. I haven't had time to eat yet."
Fang Ya heard this and could not help but be a little surprised, "Then hurry up and have a meal! Otherwise, your body will be ruined!"
Fang Ya turned around and was about to walk out, but Lin Xiang grabbed fang ya's arm, "Wait! I have something to show you!"
Fang Ya turned around and stood on the spot.
Lin Xiang had already rushed to the computer excitedly, pointing at a small icon on the desktop, saying, "You wanted this, right!"
"It's already done?" Fang Ya looked at Lin Xiang with some surprise.
Lin Xiang nodded and smiled, "It's quite a simple script, afterall! You just need to fill in the appropriate tables and it would do the rest."
"Yes, I know how that works. It's a macro of sorts, right?" Fang Ya nodded in understanding.
Lin Xiang listened to Fang Ya's words and realized that she actually seemed familiar with computers. He could not help but be a little surprised.
It was a rough time for anything related to computers, especially in Eastern countries. Finding anyone who appreciated their use was as difficult as climbing the sky.
Lin Xiang did not expect to fail again and again after approaching investors all over the place. None of them could understand what he was saying.
It was unbelievable that this gentle-looking little woman could understand these things!
As she took in Lin Xiang's shocked gaze, Fang Ya smiled and said, "Since you've finished with the script, let's go eat first and try it out when we get back. What do you think?"
Lin Xiang was still in a daze, as if he did not hear Fang Ya's words.
Fang Ya waved her hand in front of Lin Xiang, telling him to come back to his senses.
Lin Xiang let out an "ah", but before he could speak, his stomach started growling again.
Fang Ya glanced at Lin Xiang's stomach, then smiled and said, "Looks like it agreed to my suggestion!"
Fang Ya brought Lin Xiang to a nearby restaurant.
The restaurant owner frowned when he saw Lin Xiang.
Fang Ya did not know why the owner had such an attitude. After sitting down, she asked Lin Xiang about it.
Lin Xiang grinned awkwardly but did not tell Fang Ya the reason.
The owner walked over and said to Lin Xiang, "Is it another bowl of rice and a couple of pickles this time?"
Lin Xiang smiled awkwardly and said to the boss, "I don't have any money today. Next time..."
The boss waved his hand and said, "Ah, I know! I'll add an egg for you!"
"Young people nowadays! Really!" The owner said while writing something in the small notebook in his hand.

Chapter 337: The Down And Out Lin Xiang
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ya watched the interaction between the boss and Lin Xiang with interest.
The boss turned to look at Fang Ya in the next moment.
He looked Fang Ya up and down before asking, "What do you want to eat? Don't be like this kid!"
Fang Ya pursed her lips and smiled, "Boss, cancel the rice and pickles. Give us two of your signature dishes!"
The boss looked at Fang Ya in surprise and then asked Lin Xiang, "You've hooked up with a rich woman?"
Lin Xiang was even more embarrassed. He waved his hand desperately and said, "No! Don't talk nonsense!"
Fang Ya said to the boss, "This is the technical talent that I invited. I should pay for him to eat!"
"Technical talent?" The boss heard that and turned to look at Lin Xiang from head to toe. Then he shook his head and said, "Doesn't look like it!"
Fang Ya knew that the boss and Lin Xiang should be very familiar with each other. They may seem rude to one another, but this was only due to a certain level of familiarity.
The boss did not stay long. After confirming the menu with Fang Ya, he went back to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
Fang Ya looked around and looked at the not-so-spacious restaurant. She smiled and said, "Do you come here often?"
"Almost every day," Lin Xiang said sincerely.
"No wonder you didn't say a word when I walked here." Fang Ya smiled and shook her head. "So you're even more familiar with this place than I am."
Lin Xiang chuckled and said, "I heard that the dishes here are quite good. There are many customers every day."
"Heard?" Fang Ya heard the deeper meaning in Lin Xiang's words and asked curiously.
Lin Xiang nodded honestly, "No money, no food. Occasionally, the boss will leave some leftovers for me."
"But they are all mixed dishes, so I never get to taste any of the genuine article," Lin Xiang said helplessly.
"Then what about the rice and pickles that the boss mentioned just now?" Fang Ya looked at Lin Xiang seriously.
"It was originally a one-time payment, but now it's almost on credit." Lin Xiang sighed, "The boss is kind-hearted, so he won't ask me for this money."
"I'm embarrassed to always come to the boss to ask for food. I'm so hungry that I came here." Lin Xiang said, his hands a little stiff.
Fang Ya did not expect Lin Xiang's situation to be so miserable. She could not help but ask in shock, "Then how do you live? You have not sold anything for a long time, right?"
Lin Xiang showed an even more awkward smile, "Most of the money from selling the software is used to pay the rent and update the equipment. How can I have money to eat?"
"I get that passion runs deep in you, but you can't neglect food and health!" Fang Ya could not help but sigh when she thought of how Lin Xiang lived in his office.
Lin Xiang waved his hand and smiled. "I'm still young. I can hold on!"
Fang Ya shook her head disapprovingly. "Is that office of yours rented?"
Lin Xiang nodded. "Yes! The food and accommodation are all there. It's a hundred yuan a month."
Fang Ya thought for a moment, then said, "I can provide you with a place and an office for free, but you have to be responsible for cleaning my compound and looking at the house. Is that okay?"
Lin Xiang looked at Fang Ya in shock and blinked his eyes desperately to confirm it, "Really?"
Fang Ya nodded and said, "I have an old house that is empty now."
"I use that place as a temporary office space. Usually, no one will be there." Fang Ya told Lin Xiang the general situation of the old house.
"You can stay there for now." Fang Ya continued, "If we are heading there, we will inform you in advance."
Lin Xiang looked at Fang Ya gratefully and put his palms together, "If that's really possible, that would be great!"
"You can come anytime! There's no need to let me know in advance! I'll take care of the place!" Lin Xiang gave her his word.
Fang Ya smiled again, "Then I'll bring you to take a look after dinner. If it's possible, you can move over today!"
Lin Xiang nodded desperately, and the look he gave Fang Ya instantly turned into admiration.

Chapter 338: Moving In
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After dinner, Fang Ya called Uncle Chen and brought them back to the old courtyard.
Lin Xiang had never been in a private car before. As soon as he got in the car, he could not help but look around.
Uncle Chen was focused on driving. From time to time, he would catch a glimpse of the monkey-like man groping around in the passenger seat.
Fang Ya could not help but say from the back seat, "Don't distract his driving!"
With Fang Ya's words, Lin Xiang immediately sat back down obediently.
Uncle Chen pursed his lips. He wanted to laugh, but he tried hard to restrain himself.
Finally, they arrived at the place. When Lin Xiang saw the door in front of him, he was so shocked that his mouth could not close.
Fang Ya walked forward and pushed open the courtyard door, motioning Lin Xiang to follow her in.
The large woman heard some movement outside, so she opened the door and came out to look. She immediately saw Fang Ya.
"Fang Ya, you're back!" The large woman walked forward with a smile.
Fang Ya smiled at the large woman. She held took her arm and walked into the house.
When the two of them walked into the courtyard, Fang Ya turned around and introduced them to each other. "This is Lin Xiang. He will be staying here for a while."
The large woman sized up Lin Xiang and could not help but frown.
Lin Xiang followed the large woman and looked at himself up and down. He was lost in thought for a while and did not feel that there was anything wrong.
The large woman sighed and lowered her voice to say to Fang Ya, "Did you pick this kid up from a dumpster?"
Fang Ya burst out laughing and said to the large woman, "Don't look at his untidy appearance. He is a capable person!"
"Capable person?" The large woman looked at Lin Xiang even more strangely, then shook her head, "Don't see any of it!"
Fang Ya knew that even if she explained, the large woman would not understand, so she left it at that.
Fang Ya thought about it for a moment, then said to the large woman, "Can you give him a few hand-me-downs of Lin Ze's?"
"I don't think he has any of his own," Fang Ya said and asked the large woman softly.
The large woman looked at Lin Xiang and thought for a moment before saying, "My son just happens to be of the same build as him. I'll go take a look!"
Fang Ya looked gratefully at the large woman's departing figure and then brought Lin Xiang to visit a few rooms in the courtyard.
Fang Ya arranged the room that Wang Xu and the rest were originally staying in for Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang walked into the room and saw that there were actually two bedrooms in one room. He could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Fang Ya then told him the location of the kitchen and told him that if he needed to cook, he could ask the large woman for more advice.
The two of them had just sat down in the courtyard when the large woman walked over with a few clothes in her arms.
She smiled at Fang Ya and said, "Ever since Lin Ze became a teacher, he has tried to dress more sharply. Many of the clothes he wore as a student are still in good condition. He doesn't wear them anymore."
"Lin Yi is still young. If he can't wear them, let this young man wear them first!" The large woman said as she placed the clothes in front of Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang looked at the clothes and then looked down at the clothes he was wearing. He pursed his lips but no one could tell what he was thinking.
The large woman took out a bag from the side and said, "There are two pairs of shoes in here. I bought them for Lin Ze. They have not yet been worn."
"Try them on first," the large woman said and handed the shoes to Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang pulled on the shoes with both hands, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Fang Ya and the large woman looked at each other.
The large woman quickly explained herself, "I'm not looking down on you! I just think that since you're someone Fang Ya approved of, so you should dress like a young man!"
"Look at you now. Even if you say you're in your forties or fifties, people will believe you!" the large woman could not help but express her thoughts.
Fang Ya smiled at Lin Xiang and said, "You don't have to take it to heart. After you earn money, you can buy your own stuff and return them to me!"
The large woman smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes! When you earn money, you can buy good things for me!
"I will remember this!" The large woman said and did not forget to add.
When Lin Xiang heard this, he finally smiled.
He looked gratefully at the large woman and Fang Ya, stood up, and bowed deeply.

Chapter 339: Fang Ya Skipped Work
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After settling Lin Xiang down, Fang Ya asked He Kun to help move Lin Xiang's pile of "treasures" to the old house.
Lin Xiang was so moved that he almost cried when he saw all his assets being moved to a new office.
Fang Ya did not give Lin Xiang too much time to remain emotional. Instead, she urged him to try out his script as soon as possible.
The two of them took about three days to sort out all the kinks.
Fang Ya carried her bag and happily walked to the office.
Before she entered the office, Fang Ya heard the Section Chief's shout from inside, "Who can tell me where has Fang Ya been these two days?"
Fang Ya stood where she was and waited.
The office was silent. No one dared to make a sound.
The Section Chief's shout came again, accompanied by the sound of someone slapping the table. "She's supposed to manage the archives. Is she blatantly slacking off or skipping work?"
The office was still silent. Everyone buried their heads in their desks and did not dare to make a sound.
Fang Ya smiled. She was not intimidated by the Section Chief's crazy roar at all.
After the Section Chief finally finished flaunting his leadership, Fang Ya slowly walked into the office.
The Section Chief who had just sat down was instantly stunned. It was as if he had not expected that Fang Ya would actually be outside the door when he vented his anger just now.
Fang Ya ignored the Section Chief and quietly walked to her seat and sat down.
When the Section Chief saw this, he grew even more enraged.
He stood up from his seat and rushed to Fang Ya. "Fang Ya, what's the meaning of this!"
Fang Ya turned her head slightly to look at the Section Chief with a puzzled expression. "Section Chief, what's the matter?"
Fang Ya's question made the Section Chief's head almost smoke.
The Section Chief glared at Fang Ya, gritted his teeth, and growled, "You've been absent from work for three days! If you don't want to work anymore, just get lost!"
Fang Ya looked at the Section Chief innocently. "Wasn't it you who arranged for me to go out to work?"
"Then did you go out to work? What did you do? Why don't you report the progress of your work in front of everyone!" The Section Chief's face was full of disdain.
He had already predicted that Fang Ya would not be able to complete any work in these short three days.
Moreover, these files could not be taken out of the building. What Fang Ya was holding in her hand was just some archival records.
Fang Ya remained unperturbed. She took out a small disk from her backpack and inserted it into the computer. "Here's the completed work.
"I have already made a digital index of our existing archive. Later on, I will set up an intranet for the office so that everyone can use them in the future." As Fang Ya spoke, she clicked on the information stored in it.
The Section Chief stared at the small file logo that Fang Ya clicked open. The next second, a directory box popped up. It was the directory list of all the files in Fang Ya's hands.
Not only that, Fang Ya also numbered the corresponding directory list according to the number of the file room and made corresponding remarks to the source files.
The Section Chief stood in place and stared blankly. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Xing Na sat opposite Fang Ya. She wanted to poke her head out to take a look, but due to the Section Chief's presence, she did not dare to get in his way.
After a long time, the Section Chief finally reacted.
He swung his hand abruptly and said, "Since you're so capable, then I'll give you a week to record all the files and information into it!"
"A week? How is that possible!" Xing Na's full attention was on Fang Ya and the Section Chief. When she heard this, she subconsciously blurted out.
The Section Chief finally found an outlet to vent his anger. He glared at Xing Na and said, "You don't think a week is enough? Then help her do it!"
Xing Na pouted aggrievedly. She retracted her head and lay pitifully on her desk.
Fang Ya was not afraid of the Section Chief. She only chuckled and said, "Alright! A week then!"

Chapter 340: Manpower Needed
After Fang Ya accepted the task arranged by the Section Chief, she took out the disk from her computer and said to Xing Na, "Xing Na, I'll have to trouble you for this week!"
Xing Na raised her eyes and looked at Fang Ya with some grievance. She really did not know whether to answer or not.
Fang Ya smiled at her and said, "Please prepare all the accounts for all the files for me today. I'll need to use them when I come back later. Is that okay?"
"Just the records?" Xing Na asked curiously.
Fang Ya nodded and said, "Yes! Just the records."
Xing Na replied with an "oh" and did not raise any objections. "Okay! I'll give them to you in an hour."
Fang Ya looked at Xing Na gratefully and then said to the Section Chief, "Section chief, I have something to attend to."
Without waiting for the Section Chief's response, Fang Ya put the disk into her bag and got up to leave the office.
The roar of the Section Chief came from the office behind her again, "You are simply too arrogant! You have no respect for authority! You have no respect for the law!"
Fang Ya shrugged and ignored the exasperated Section Chief, walking quickly to Nie Jun's office.
This time, she really needed to make use of her connections.
Fang Ya walked to Nie Jun's office and saw a boy she did not know sitting on the assistant's desk outside Nie Jun's office.
The boy looked like he had just graduated and come out to work.
When the boy saw Fang Ya, he quickly stood up and asked, "Hello, may I know who you are?"
Fang Ya smiled at the boy and said, "I'm from the archives. My name is Fang Ya."
The boy smiled obediently and said, "Hello! I'm the new assistant. My name is Yye Xiao."
Fang Ya nodded at Ye Xiao and then glanced in the direction of Nie Jun's office.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao hurriedly said, "Secretary Nie just went out. He will be back in about ten minutes."
Fang Ya smiled and then said, "Then, can I wait for him here for a while?"
Ye Xiao quickly walked out of his seat and led Fang Ya to the guest sofa at the side and sat her down. "Please sit down for a while."
Fang Ya smiled and nodded her thanks.
Ye Xiao returned to his seat once again, his eyes still sizing up Fang Ya.
Fang Ya suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She coughed twice and turned her gaze to the magazine rack on the side of the wall.
This rack had been set up after Fang Ya had arrived. It was to prevent the guests from getting bored.
Fang Ya's eyes searched the display shelf, but she was attracted by a piece of newspaper news.
She got up and walked to the display shelf, picked up the newspaper, and read it carefully.
This was an investment report about Taifeng. Apparently, Taifen had launched its latest project, with an investment quota of hundreds of millions of yuan.
In this era, such an investment could be said to be a large sum of money, and this project was an emerging industry that had yet to be recognized by the public.
Fang Ya frowned as she read it. Her mind was constantly thinking about something.
Nie Jun walked into the office and immediately saw Fang Ya who was deep in thought.
He coughed lightly so that Fang Ya could notice him.
Fang Ya came back to her senses in a trance. When she saw Nie Jun, her eyes suddenly blinked.
Nie Jun looked at Fang Ya with some amusement. "What? We haven't seen each other for a few days and you don't recognize me anymore?"
Fang Ya quickly lowered her head and said embarrassedly, "Secretary, I was distracted just now."
Nie Jun smiled and ignored it. He greeted Ye Xiao, who had already stood up to welcome him, and walked into his office. "Come in!"
Fang Ya hurriedly nodded to Ye Xiao and followed Nie Jun into the office.
Once he entered the office, Nie Jun sat on the office chair and asked Fang ya, "Tell me! What's the matter?"
Fang Ya did not hesitate and said directly, "Secretary, I need some manpower."
"Manpower? For what?" Nie Jun looked at Fang Ya strangely.
"The archives room is working on a major upgrade. Making softcopies of everything inside. I need manpower to organize all the files." As Fang Ya spoke, she handed a document to Nie Jun..
