Zhu Qianying called Cheng Ye, "Cheng, I'm sorry, I need to take a couple of days off."
In fact, Zhu Qianying enjoyed a great deal of freedom in her work. In particular, Cheng Ye never plied her with strict demands about her working hours.
However, ever since Cheng Ye decided to set his headquarters in L City, it seemed as if he was imposing on Zhu Qianying additional tasks that were not originally part of her job.
Naturally, Zhu Qianying wasn't opposed to the extra workload. Nevertheless, the motive behind Cheng Ye's actions made her uncomfortable.
Without a doubt, Cheng Ye's motivations were first and foremost to create more opportunities for them to be together. His second motive was to compensate Zhu Qianying for her additional workload by offering her shares.
Clearly, he seemed to have an inkling that Zhu Qianying was planning to leave.
No matter the reason why Zhu Qianying wanted to leave, he wouldn't possibly agree, nor let go.
