See You Again (Time Already Knows) - Chapter 59
Chapter 59 - Ye Jiacheng Drove The Car That He Wanted Ahead Of Time. Similarly, He Would Also Encounter An Even Better Woman Ahead Of Time.
Shi Jian rode in Yi Pei’s car back to the Yang household. The road was lit with orange streetlamps. Yang Jiantao was just running while holding Nini’s hand. Left right left, left right left. Naturally, Yang Jiantao recognized Yi Pei’s car. He walked up to them with Nini in his arms. Everyone happily met face to face.
The Gelan City Project made progress without a hitch. The Yang family had a pretty good business relationship with Yi Pei’s market. Of course, it was after they thoroughly offended Yi Qindong. Shi Jian caught the look Uncle gave her, and they had a mutual understanding to both look away. It definitely wasn’t what he was thinking.
Yang Jiantao smiled warmly and invited Yi Pei to have tea inside. Yi Pei tactfully declined on the reason of still having other things to do .
When Yi Pei left, Shi Jian was immediately latched onto by Yang Jiantao. Yang Jiantao was tall and strong. He took her inside as if he was carrying a small chicken. Before they even got inside, she was being interrogated: what exactly happened?
Shi Jian explained in detail, speaking from the concert to her bike being stolen. The proof was that she rode her newly bought bicycle out but did not return with it.
Yang Jiantao believed her when she added solemnly that Yi Mao was a concert sponsor. He didn’t forget to tease her: “I bet you’re so happy you can’t function.”
Shi Jian was too lazy to care. She helplessly sighed. Yang Jiantao once again tried to elicit information from her: “I heard Yi Pei’s relationship with the Zhao family had collapsed. Is it true?”
Shi Jian nodded. It was true.
“Yi Pei was doing fine. Why do you think he would break off his engagement with the lady from the Zhao family……?”
Because…… Shi Jian recalled what Yi Pei said on the rooftop of the Yi Mao building. He wanted a life with both love and struggle. Being a successful entrepreneur, Yi Pei was probably more clear about what direction life went than ordinary people.
“President Yi has some goals.” Shi Jian clearly understood the “translation” of what Yi Pei said: he didn’t want to rely on a woman for success. Originally, after Zhao Wenwen had a skiing accident, Yi Pei didn’t rely on the Zhao family either.
Yang Jiantao understood now. Not only did he understand, he also expressed admiration: “I didn’t expect Yi Pei to be that kind of person.”
Shi Jian made a 囧 face.
But even though Yang Jiantao admired him for a moment, he was still anxious from a business perspective. This year, the one who had momentum was Ye Mao Real Estate, who had acquired some good plots of land and made a lot of big moves. He was already a longtime partner of Yi Mao Real Estate, so it wasn’t good for him to have a connection with Ye Mao Real Estate.
It’s not that it was bad to have a connection, he couldn’t have a connection at all. He couldn’t make a connection with him.
Yi Qindong’s bravery was small just like a chicken’s intestines. He was kicked out by Yi Pei because of Gelan City. Now who would want to give an opportunity to the Yang family?
But, they shouldn’t fight when there was still business to be done. Yang Jiantao really did feel a little bit upset. The company that Yi Qindong was fiddling with didn’t originally amount to anything. Unexpectedly, after they got a new leader, it quickly became one of the companies with the most development potential in A-City.
The CEO of Ye Mao Real estate was called…… Ye Jiacheng?
Yang Jiantao felt that this name was familiar. Shi Jian was about to go upstairs and rest. He was lucky enough to ask: “Shi Jian, do you know Ye Jiacheng?”
Shi Jian stopped her footsteps, straightened her spine, but didn’t turn back.
Yang Jiantao: “It’s fine if you don’t. Go rest.”
Shi Jian made an “en” sound and continued up the stairs. Yang Jiantao was standing behind her and asked again: “Oh right, what was the name of the boyfriend you told me about last time?”
Ai! Shi Jianslowly turned around. At the same time, Yang Jiantao also remembered and pointed at her, saying: “You told me last time that your boyfriend is called Ye Jiacheng, right?”
“……he’s already an ex-boyfriend.” Shi Jian replied. She really did not want her uncle to start a business relationship with Ye Jiacheng.
When Shi Jian said that, Yang Jiantao stopped forcing it. He thought about how Shi Jian had been abnormal lately, and asked, “Were you bullied?”
“No!” Shi Jian immediately denied it and even boasted, “I was the one who dumped him, so you don’t need to go looking for Ye Jiacheng, Uncle.”
It really was a situation where one was resentful that they didn’t meet expectations. Yang Jiantao sighed, hopeless.
Shi Jian smiled dryly, knowing what Uncle was at a loss about.
Yang Jiantao gathered up his emotions, and waved Shi Jian up to rest. Even if he was destitute and insane, he still wouldn’t exploit his family’s personal relationships. He was just wondering whether he needed to take a detour the next time he saw that President Ye from Ye Mao.
At the end of May, Shi Jian’s defense of her thesis started. She had her messy design drawn out and commissioned a few new dresses at an old tailor’s shop she found. A lot of a woman’s happiness originated from pretty clothing. Exaggerated styles were trendy these years. The streets were filled with puffy hairstyles. Shi Jian’s dress patterns were all styles she loved in the past. To keep in accordance with her current age, she chose a few light colors and scattered patterns.
The end result was pretty good. She wore them to see a few of her female classmates. Many of them asked where she got them from.
Shi Jian recommended that old tailor’s shop to them. They then said they were too lazy: “Do people still have to use tailors these days? Isn’t it much faster to go buy them at a store in the mall?”
In their minds, finding a tailor to make clothing was already a very old fashioned thing.
Shi Jian’s thesis defense went very smoothly. It was her second time graduating as an undergraduate. She wanted to make up for her graduation photo where she didn’t smile properly. At the time when they were taking the photo, there was a boy constantly clapping her on the shoulder from behind, and the photo just so captured the motion of her turning her head.
When Ye Jiacheng saw this photo, he had mocked her for it for a long time.
This time, the annoying boy was clapping her shoulder again. Shi Jian straightened her back and faced the camera lens, raising her brightest smile.
With a “click”, her smiling youthful face was finally captured.
Graduating once again, Shi Jian completed the graduation trip with her classmates. She didn’t not want to go because she had already gone before. She had gone there once before, and she even became their tour guide.
Relaxing and bustling, her personality was better than in the past. She was even optimistic. She was different to other students who were beat down by their internships. They attributed it to her signing with Yi Mao Real Estate.
They didn’t know that even now, she woke up crying in the middle of the night, thinking about what Ye Jiacheng said to her: “That lover of yours must be a much better man than I am.”
Actually, there was nothing too terrible with the current Ye Jiacheng. She was just here too early, and wanted too much.
After their graduation trip ended, Shi Jian went to report to the Yi Mao Real Estate general office with her neat clothes. After half a year of not being here, there was not much change, other than Emily being on maternity leave and Zhao Yilin coming to replace Emily’s position.
Other than Zhao Yilin ignoring her, Shi Jian felt very free, so much so that she was quite happy that Zhao Yilin could return to the general office. After all, Zhao Yilin was the original author of «The Mr.Yi in my Eyes». Yi Pei’s biography was better left for Zhao Yilin to write. After all, her…… writing skills weren't as good as Zhao Yilin’s.
Zhao Yilin was the temporary secretary, and she was an assistant that had formally entered the company. There was no way they wouldn’t cross paths at work. Luckily, Zhao Yilin had reigned in her temper a lot. Moreover, Zhao Yilin didn’t like her anymore, but still greeted her with an “Assistant Shi”.
Shi Jian went to Yi Pei’s office to give her report. The weather had turned warm. Yi Pei was only wearing a dress shirt, still neat and proper as usual. Yi Pei knew that she had just returned from her graduation trip and especially asked after her: “Did you have fun?”
“It wasn’t bad.” Shi Jian replied with a smile, “Other than my wallet. It’s shrunk.”
Yi Pei smiled at her words, then looked at her honestly: “Shi Jian, I hope you are satisfied with the salary I’ve given you.”
“Very satisfied,” Shi Jian also replied sincerely. She had already signed her new contract again. Yi Pei was very generous to her. To express that she would work with determination, Shi Jian said with a smile, “Right now, I just want to get into work mode quickly to repay President Yi and to repay Yi Mao Real Estate.”
“Okay,” Yi Pei stood up, “Accompany me to meet a few clients in a bit.”
Meeting a few clients in a bit? Shi Jian immediately became nervous.
Yi Pei glanced at her and spoke like her superior, but also like her friend: “Didn’t you just say you wanted to quickly get into work mode?”
Shi Jian: “……Yes, President Yi.”
Entering Yi Mao Real Estate all over again, Shi Jian truly found her work attitude quickly, the rhythm of her life. What was strange was that Yi Mao and Ye Mao were so close to each other, and the two were in the same industry, but regardless of whether it was work or just by chance, she never encountered Ye Jiacheng.
She did not encounter him even once.
She’d even thought about how it would go the next time they met. It would probably be like they were friends. They would greet each other simply. Then, she didn’t think about the rest. She would do well and wait for destiny to take care of it.
It’s just that she didn’t know how much longer she wanted to wait for. She also didn’t know whether she could wait for the ending. If she gave up one day, she hoped that Mr.Ye didn’t blame her.
Then, even though she didn’t encounter Ye Jiacheng even once, she still often heard information about Ye Jiacheng. She didn’t want Ye Jiacheng to develop real estate. In the end, she always heard people talk about how well Ye Mao Real Estate’s development was, or how young and promising the CEO of Ye Mao was.
She was still quite happy in her heart. Wasn’t Ye Jiacheng very amazing?!

Shi Jian took the test for her driver’s license again. She was especially proud of herself and was much more happy than the first time she took the test. She didn’t know what to think, but it was probably because with her own hard work, she had regained the things she’d lost.
After all, last time Zhang Kai had suggested she just buy one, even saying that he had connections to help her. She was very moved, but still declined his offer.
With a driver’s license, Shi Jian sometimes drove the company car out to do things. It was very convenient. Of course, it was still a headache when she couldn’t find parking.
The noon sunshine was fierce. Shi Jian drove the car to the bank to help Zhang Kai complete a few errands. The air conditioning in the car was on. She summoned up the will to leave the car and ran a few steps. Her sight landed on a conspicuous coupé model car nearby on the road.
Shi Jian walked to the shady area by the building, glancing at it in habit. It wasn’t as nice as the various luxury cars that filled the streets in the future. Right now, this model was new in A-City, and was still very attractive.
But the reason Shi Jian paid attention was because Ye Jiacheng had said before that the car he most liked in the past was this one, but he had no money to buy it when he was young.
“Then let’s buy it now, what do you think?”
Ye Jiacheng refused. He didn’t need it.
He didn’t need it, or did he leave the money to her? Ye Jiacheng squished her cheeks and told her: “I feel that having some regrets in life is pretty good.”
But, she hoped that she could resolve his regrets. When she first entered Yi Mao Real Estate, she still had a daydream that she would buy Ye Jiacheng that car when she made enough money.
Mr.Ye seldom had things he liked.
Shi Jian slowly looked away, but when she saw that familiar face coming out of the car, she stopped. It turned out that Ye Jiacheng was already able to drive the car he liked ahead of time. Really, congratulations……
Not far away, Ye Jiacheng leisurely stepped out of his car, then put both his hands in his pockets. Who was he waiting for?
At this time, the front passenger seat door opened.
The heavens organized these things very equally. Ye Jiacheng drove the car that he wanted ahead of time. Similarly, he would also encounter an even better woman ahead of time.
This was not strange at all.
Shi Jian pursed her lips, turned around, then went up the stone steps one by one.
