Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 533 - 533 528 Who Goes First

Chapter 533: Chapter 528 Who Goes First Chapter 533: Chapter 528 Who Goes First Though it was described as a disability, the condition wasn’t actually severe—sufficient enough for them to work as security guards.

Jiang Yan told Yi Hailan about the factory’s salary and benefits package, assuring that as long as those five people agreed, there would be no problem on their end.

Today, upon leaving the police station, he mentioned to Jing Junyang that the security division needed stronger management. He planned to speak to Captain Song—there would be an overall reform of the security team. Those unsuitable for security work could try other positions, such as in the workshops.

Although there were clear rules and regulations for security at their factory, it was evident that not everyone adhered to them.

Now, he was actually looking forward to the arrival of the five military veterans who had yet to come.

Yi Hailan responded the next day, indicating that the five men had no objections. Upon receiving her message, they happily went to buy train tickets—the quintet would all arrive within three days.

That day, Jiang Yan and Jing Junyang also had a two-hour full-staff meeting at “Feixue”.

Afterward, Jiang Yan returned to his office, and just as he sat down, there was a knock at the door.

“Come in.”

The glass door was pushed open, and a young girl came in holding a cup of coffee.

Jiang Yan furrowed his brows slightly as he noticed she was holding his coffee cup, “Xiaoye, I’ve said it before, if I want coffee, I’ll make it myself—you don’t need to help. Also, I don’t want you taking my cup out without permission.”

The girl who was carrying the coffee toward him paused, and the smile on her face momentarily stiffened, but it was only for an instant before she recovered her composure and cheerfully placed the coffee in front of Jiang Yan, “I understand, Mr. Jiang, but didn’t you injure your arm today? I thought it might be inconvenient for you, so I went ahead and prepared the coffee with your cup.”

Having said this, Jiang Yan could not fault her further, but still emphasized, “You know my habits well—I don’t like others in my office, and even less so touching my things.”

In his office, aside from office supplies, nearly everything else was bought by Mu Jiawen—like his coffee cup, which was heart-shaped but only half a heart. The other half was in Mu Jiawen’s laboratory; together, they formed one complete heart.

There was also a pink water cup on his desk—yes, pink, while Mu Jiawen’s was blue.

Additionally, there was a photo frame on the bookshelf behind his desk that showed the two of them embracing, and another picture of Mu Jiawen alone on a cabinet on the other side.

In short, almost every place in his office that could hold something bore her mark. It felt as if she had marked her territory like a little dog marking with urine.

At the very least, anyone who came to his office would know at first glance that he was ‘taken’.

The R&D and Engineering Department just outside his office knew this all too well—Xiaoye was an engineer in this R&D division. So, Jiang Yan didn’t really think she had feelings for him; he simply disliked people entering his office uninvited and touching his belongings.

What if something got accidentally broken?

Could he fire someone over that?

“Don’t let this happen again!”

“Understood, Mr. Jiang.”

Xiaoye’s face was downcast, her expression unclear, but when she turned to leave, she suddenly stopped her step and quickly greeted the person behind her, “Mr. Jing.”

Jing Junyang stood at the door, giving Xiaoye an odd look, waited for her to exit, and then closed the door behind her. He then sprawled in a chair in front of Jiang Yan’s desk, looked around with a smile, and said, “That girl sure has guts.”

The players are often clueless, while onlookers see clearly.

It was just helping with a cup of coffee, but Jing Junyang didn’t think Xiaoye had no interest in Jiang Yan. He found it strange—with Mu Jiawen’s picture there, wasn’t she intimidated at all?

Even if not intimidated, could she really feel confident in front of Mu Jiawen?

The young girls of today sure are bold!

Speaking of young girls, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something and asked, “I heard from Yu Chen that you’ve been playing matchmaker, introducing a 20-year-old girl to Du Fan. How’s that going? Have they met yet?”

The moment Jiang Yan brought this up, Jing Junyang’s spirits lifted, “You wouldn’t believe it, but that girl has taken a shine to old Du, actually telling me she fell in love with Du Fan at first sight.”

Jiang Yan’s eyes widened in surprise, “Really?”

“Just ask old Yuan, these past few days whenever she has time, she’s been coming to our company to look for Du Fan, calling him ‘brother’ with such affection. I never in my wildest dreams thought that Du Fan, that closet romantic, would one day be chased by a girl. What’s even more infuriating is that I’m still a bachelor.”

“So, this girl wasn’t interested in you during the blind date?”

“…”

“Can’t you speak with a little more subtlety?”

After some thought, Jiang Yan said, “Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that you’re not her type.”

“…Forget it, let’s drop the subject. I have something serious to discuss with you.”

The two stopped joking around and with their laughter subsided, they began discussing work.

…

Time flies, and in a blink, half a year had passed; Mu Jiawen was now 22.

This year’s winter break was much livelier than in previous years.

The second brother and Hong Jing got their marriage license just before New Year’s Day, setting their wedding for January 15th after New Year’s.

Yu Hang and Zhu Jin set their date for January 18th, but they didn’t plan on holding the banquet in Beijing. Both dates were decided by their parents in Yunzhou.

After all, having only worked in Beijing for half a year, aside from college classmates who stayed in Beijing after graduation, there weren’t many close colleagues.

It really wasn’t necessary.

As a result, Jiang Yan and Jiawen ended up having to travel back and forth, attending the second brother’s wedding on the 15th and then heading to Yunzhou the next day.

It was like rushing from one event to another.

That was manageable, but what really irked Jiang Yan was how the second brother and Yu Hang flaunted getting married before him, saying soon they’d have kids before him too, leaving him so far behind he wouldn’t be able to catch up even barefoot.

Jiang Yan was so annoyed, he really wanted to slap their faces with the marriage certificate he had had for half a year.

Such pricks, thinking they can get ahead of me, what are they dreaming?

That’s what he was about to say, but after a second thought and a roll of his eyes, he swallowed his words and stayed silent.

On January 15th, the second brother’s wedding day, Jiang Yan arrived early at his newly bought house, busying himself with the preparations and setting things up. Then, before leaving to pick up the bride, he pulled out a red booklet from his pocket to show the second brother.

“Wow, brother, you’ve got your license too?”

The second brother was quite pleased when he saw the red booklet, thinking that Jiang Yan had hurried to get it because he was getting married.

Even so, no matter what, he had beaten his brother to the punch.

“Too?” Jiang Yan looked at him with a mischievous smile, then opened the red booklet and held it up for the second brother, saying casually, “Come on, bro, take a close look at the date on it.”

“What’s there to look at about the date, you must’ve picked it up in a rush without even looking at the days… Huh? July… the 28th?”
