The reply struck a chord with Lin Yifan.
In fact, his general sentiment was this: without a stable job, how could he dare to marry a heiress?
However, even if Director An never fired him, he would not accept Zhou Jiajia because that would mean living off a woman, maintaining a job through her connections. He didn't want that and would never accept it.
Afterward, he replied, "Thank you for your kindness, but I think I should have a career of my own; when I am successful, may I then come to marry you?"
Receiving such a reply, Zhou Jiajia realized Lin Yifan was a proud man who wouldn't easily accept charity from others.
Since that was the case, she didn't want to force Lin Yifan to accept her using charity anymore. So she replied, "What career do you want to pursue? I will help you in any way I can."
Zhou Jiajia wanted to struggle alongside Lin Yifan, to create a career that belonged to them both.
Seeing these words, Lin Yifan, who was sitting on the office sofa, was stunned.
