Chapter 706: What Present?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Fang Yan sent them away, she returned and saw a dazed Chu Xun sitting there, her dark purple fur coat on the ground by the door.

Fang Yan bent over and picked up Chu Xun's coat, then shook off the dirt. She walked to Chu Xun and handed the fur coat to her.

Chu Xun's eyes were out of focus, and it was like she couldn't see anything. Tears fell down her cheeks in large droplets.

By now, she had sobered up a little and calmed down. Her raspy voice was strangely soft as she said, "Was I... a total embarrassment just now?"

Since they were both women, for Fang Yan to see Chu Xun in this state, she couldn't help feeling some compassion.

Fang Yan spoke, "President Chu, you shouldn't limit yourself to living like a little woman, behaving so desperately because of a man! You're 'The Iron Lady of the News Industry.' There are more meaningful things waiting for you to do, and you have to pin all of your feelings and the meaning of life on a man, splitting hairs because of a man who you're unable to obtain!"

Chu Xun looked up at Fang Yan, who was dressed in a unisex fashion.

Seeing that Chu Xun didn't take the fur coat from her, Fang Yan shook the fur coat and placed it over her forearm. She pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Chu Xun, extended a leg, then retrieved a cigarette from her pocket to bite at the corner of her lips. She asked Chu Xun, "Want one?"

Chu Xun shook her head as she wiped the tears from her face.

Fang Yan lit her cigarette. "People say that men are the ones who can accomplish great things in this world because men are truly heartless when they make up their minds to be so! In the past, I thought President Chu was such a person too! The kind of woman capable of accomplishing great things! Your resume is so beautiful, enough to command respect and awe from any man! When I looked at your resume... I personally felt you should be a woman so powerful that you don't need a man or relationships!"

Fang Yan reached for an ashtray and tapped cigarette ash into it. "Because the world has always had stringent requirements for women. In this world, women can't become powerful enough to conquer the world and possess fairytale-like beautiful romances at the same time! Your outstanding resume... will cause men who admire you, yet are unable to conquer you, not to have the guts to go near you! And the men you admire and who can conquer you might not happen to like you back!"

Chu Xun was feeling a little dizzy. There were now two Fang Yans before her eyes. However, her mind could still be considered clear.

"In that case, why must you focus all of your attention on a man and not on your career? When you are constantly advancing in your career, on the way, you are bound to meet the man who admires you and is able to conquer you at the same time!"

Fang Yan then put out her unfinished cigarette in the ashtray and handed Chu Xun her fur coat. "Do you need me to call a cab for you?"

Chu Xun shook her head.

"Then, Miss Chu, I'll get going first!"

The reason Fang Yan sat down and said this much to Chu Xun was that she felt that there weren't many successful women like Chu Xun in this world!

Even if it was just as an aspirational story, more women needed stories like this to motivate themselves.

Fang Yan was unwilling to see Chu Xun sink deeper because of a man that didn't belong to her, adding another news headline about how another successful woman was unable to pick herself back up because of a failed relationship.
