The next day, as soon as Xi Chen had arrived at school, he was brought to his office by Li Yuxing. When he saw Li Yuxing's frown and his extremely serious look, Xi Chen knew that something had happened and that it was related to him.

"You've graduated." Sure enough, when Li Yuxing opened his mouth, Xi Chen asked in surprise, "Graduated? Why did I graduate? Didn't I just start school? "

"Yes, the president has already given his graduation certificate to me." As he said this, he handed his graduation certificate to Xi Chen and said, "I am not too clear about this. However, I believe that Zhuang Pu Yang should know about this and you can ask him about it."

Xi Chen was surprised for a moment. He took the red graduation certificate, raised his head and bit his lips, "Yes, I understand. I will go and ask."

"Wait." Li Yuxing called out to Xi Chen and looked him up and down. When he saw that there was nothing wrong with Xi Chen, he asked, "Did something happen between you and Zhuang Poyang?"

"I don't know." Xi Chen spread out his hands and said, "There's nothing going on between us. It's just that he ignored me from yesterday. I really don't understand the specifics …" Xi Chen shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Li Yuxing did not say anymore. He warned Xi Chen to be careful on the road and then went to class.

Xi Chen dialed Zhuang Poyang's number. It was Assistant Chen. He told her that Zhuang Poyang was in a meeting. After some thought, he decided to go to the Zhuang Corporation himself.

"Chief Zhuang, Miss Xi Chen is calling. She wants to come over." Assistant Chen followed behind Zhuang Poyang, reporting the missed call.

"Yes." Zhuang Poyang nodded, he was not surprised that Xi Chen had come, he already knew why.

Xi Chen quickly arrived at the Zhuang Group. Just as he was about to enter her office, Assistant Chen stopped her, "Miss Xi Chen, Director Zhuang is busy with some matters, please come over." As he said that, he led Xi Chen to the guest room.

Xi Chen took a deep breath and calmed his anxiety. Then, he nodded and followed Assistant Chen …

In just a moment, Assistant Chen walked over before she had even finished her cup of water, and told her that Zhuang Pu Yang would let her in. Xi Chen could not wait to enter the office, he looked at Zhuang Pu Yang and blurted out, "Did you get the principal to graduate for me?"

"Yes." He replied indifferently and continued to read the information in his hand. The pen in his hand continued to write and draw.

Xi Chen frowned as he stepped forward and continued, "But I haven't learnt anything yet!"

"Learning it here is much easier to master." Zhuang Poyang raised his eyes, "From now on, you are my secretary."

"What?" Xi Chen was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Zhuang Pu Yang called out to Assistant Chen, "Bring Xi Chen to his post."

"Yes, Boss Zhuang."

Xi Chen felt helpless and looked at Zhuang Poyang, wanting to say something, but the latter clearly did not want to hear it from her. Xi Chen moved his mouth, swallowed what he wanted to say and left with Assistant Chen.

To the Zhuang family's employees, they still had some impression of Xi Chen. He was Zhuang Poyang's cousin, so he could feel everyone's enthusiasm. Of course, he asked most of the questions on why he left after only a few days.

Xi Chen could only say that he had returned home. Otherwise, she really would not have been able to find any other reason.

Fortunately, Zhuang Poyang's company was located on the first floor, or this lie would have been quickly exposed.

Just like this, he had completely graduated from school. Looking at his desk, Xi Chen did not know what to say. After all, he was new and had no job.

After they finished their work, Xi Chen stood up and packed up his stuff. She did not want to go back with Zhuang Pu Yang because she did not want to see Leng Yuexin looking at him as if he was a mistress …

When they returned home, Ye Ruolan walked over, "Xi Chen, why are you so late today?"

Xi Chen's mouth twitched. He did not say anything as he saw everyone present. He smiled and went upstairs. Ye Ruolan followed him as she felt that something was wrong with Xi Chen.

"Xi Chen." Ye Ruo Lan walked over and saw the dazed Xi Chen. When Xi Chen heard Ye Ruo Lan's voice, he immediately regained his senses and revealed a smile.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? " Ye Ruo Lan's eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Xi Chen. It was not a bad expression on her face.

Xi Chen shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Aunt Lan, I won't be going to school anymore. I work."

"Work?" Ye Ruolan looked at Xi Chen doubtfully, not knowing what she meant by that.

Xi Chen sighed and took out his graduation certificate. Then, he said, "Zhuang Pu Yang wants me to work at his company."

Ye Ruolan frowned and said, "Actually, I can't learn anything in university. Hmm, I actually think going to the company to work is pretty good. What, you don't want to do it?"

"No, it's just that I feel like I'm not used to suddenly leaving campus." Xi Chen smiled and lowered his head. Then, he said, "I'm fine. Aunt Lan, I will go to work."

"Mm, that's good."

And below, Leng Yue said to Zhuang Wannian with a gentle smile, "Uncle Zhuang, Aunt Lan has treated Xi Chen better than me, I'm getting jealous!" As he spoke, he began to laugh.

Zhuang Wannian was slightly surprised, then he said, "Hehe, Xi Chen doesn't have parents. Ruo Lan will take care of her more, so don't take it to heart."

"I know, Uncle Zhuang, I'm not such a petty person." Just as he was speaking, Zhuang Pu Yang came back, Leng Yueru spoke with Zhuang Pu Yang.

Furthermore, Leng Yueru's words made Zhuang Wannian feel that something was amiss. He frowned as he stood up and said, "Pu Yang, come to the study room."

Zhuang Pu Yang raised his eyebrows and responded, then he smiled gently at Leng Yueru and walked up.

Zhuang Wannian sat in his seat as he looked at Zhuang Pu Yang and said, "What is the background of that Xi Chen?"

Zhuang Pu Yang did not expect Zhuang Wannian to ask about Xi Chen the moment he opened his mouth. He then frowned and said, "It's an orphan."

"Just an orphan? No other background? "

"Nope." Zhuang Pu Yang frowned and continued asking, "Dad, what did you discover?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just thought your Aunt Lan liked this kid, so I asked a lot." Zhuang Wannian said with a smile on his face.

Zhuang Pu Yang suspiciously looked at his father, then nodded and left with Zhuang Wannian.

After dinner, Xi Chen packed all the books in his room. Just as he finished, he received a call from Li Xiaoyu.

"Xi Chen, what's going on? Why did you graduate? "

"Mm, yes …" After Xi Chen explained it briefly, Li Xiaoyu sighed.

"Truly …" I don't know how to say it either. Alright, that's it. " Li Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh right, how long has it been since you last contacted Gao Yang?"

When he thought of Gao Yang, Xi Chen was slightly surprised. He said with embarrassment: "It's been a long time. Alright, I understand. I will contact him."

"Mm, I saw him outside today. He asked about you and said he didn't contact you because he was afraid you wouldn't be convenient. Remember to tell him. Alright, that's it. Bye bye."

After hanging up, Xi Chen looked at his phone and called Gao Yang.

Gao Yang, who was drinking red wine on the balcony, immediately picked up the call when he saw the notification on his phone. His dejected mood had already disappeared.

"Xi Chen."

"Big brother Gao …" When he heard Gao Yang's voice, Xi Chen smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've been so busy these past few days …"

"Yeah, I know." Gao Yang put down his glass and asked, "Have you been well?"

"Mm, not bad."

The two chatted for a while before Gao Yang said, "Xi Chen, let's go watch the movie. How about it?"

Xi Chen hesitated, but at this moment, he heard Zhuang Pu Yang and Leng Yuexin's laughter. He sighed and said, "Alright, Big Brother Gao, I'll see you at the cinema."

After hanging up, the department head changed his clothes and walked out. Ye Ruonan was the only one in the living room. Xi Chen greeted Ye Ruo Lan and left.

Ye Ruolan did not want Xi Chen to stay at home either, it was always better to go out for a walk …

Zhuang Poyang, who came out from the study room, kneaded his glabella and reflexively walked to Xi Chen's room, but he did not find him. He frowned and saw the phone that Xi Chen had left behind on the table …

"Aunt Lan." Zhuang Pu Yang walked down and saw Ye Ruo Lan nod towards him.

"Pu Yang, do you want to go out?" Ye Ruo Lan looked at Zhuang Pu Yang and asked doubtfully, "Did you guys discuss it after Xi Chen just left?"

Hearing Ye Ruo Lan's teasing voice, Zhuang Pu Yang smiled and left without explaining anything. Leng Yue Rou on the second floor listened to Ye Ruo Lan's words and thought that it was an appointment between Zhuang Pu Yang and Xi Chen.

Zhuang Poyang glanced at the last phone call on Xi Chen's phone as he drove towards the nearest cinema.

"Big Brother Gao!" When Xi Chen came out, he realized that he did not have his phone with him, so he stood at the entrance of the movie theater and looked around. He was afraid that he would miss Gao Yang, but luckily, he saw him soon.

Gao Yang smiled as he walked over and said, "Let's go. I've already bought the tickets. Take the popcorn."

"Thank you, Big Brother Gao." Xi Chen followed him in. Because the movie had not started yet, there were chattering non-stop as if they were discussing about this movie.

"Brother Gao, it looks like this movie is pretty popular!" Xi Chen said with a smile as he fed the popcorn to his mouth.

Seeing Xi Chen's childish behavior, Gao Yang smiled and said, "Yes, I watched it on the internet. I heard that it was a police movie and it was very popular. It's not a big deal. Let's watch it."

"Yes."

Xi Chen did not say anything. In fact, he had mixed feelings towards Gao Yang. He knew that she had rejected Gao Yang's feelings, but now, she was not sure if Gao Yang no longer had any hope.

Gao Yang had been paying attention to Xi Chen's actions from the corner of his eyes. When he saw her silent expression, he thought that she was thinking about Pu Yang. His heart was agitated and he felt a little pain …

Soon, the movie started. Both Xi Chen and Gao Yang had withdrawn their thoughts and turned their attention to the big screen.

Zhuang Poyang came to the cinema and looked at the film on the screen. He frowned and chose the police film. He remembered that Gao Yang's dream was to be a police officer, so he would definitely watch this film.

Holding the movie ticket in his hand, Zhuang Pu Yang made a sneer and walked in …
