Chapter 141 - Extra Chapter.William×Ellie (III)

William devoted all his time and energy to the company besides his studies, and he was hardly seen in the dormitory.

He kept himself busy so that he wouldn't have any free time.

He thought that this way he wouldn't think of her.

But every time he lay down, even if it was just for a minute, his mind was full of her.

Every year on the 19th day of the fifth lunar month, William had to take a leave to return to City A.

July 1, 2020.

This year, William was a junior, nearing the end of the year.

"William."

Hearing someone call his name, William turned his head and said, "What's up?"

"Why don't you accept my Instagram request?"

The girl was wearing a white dress, with long, straight black hair, and a delicate appearance.

"Sorry, I don't add strangers."

"But if you accept, we can get to know each other and become acquaintances."

William didn't say anything.

Megan thought there was a chance and continued, "My name is Megan, I'm in the same department as you, let's be friends."

"Not interested."

Megan wanted to say more, but William stopped and looked at her, saying, "I have a girlfriend, she's great, and I love her very much."

"You're lying, you're always alone, where is there a girlfriend? Don't try to fool me."

William took out the photo from his wallet, showed it to her, and then turned and left.

Megan saw the girl in the photo clearly.

Her eyes were like apricots, clear and bright, her skin as if it were the finest pearls, her nose small and delicate, her lips red, and she was wearing the simplest high ponytail, yet she was stunningly beautiful.

No wonder William never interacted with girls.

It turned out he already had a girlfriend.

As soon as William entered the dormitory, the three of them surrounded him and gossiped, "Hey, William, wasn't that the department flower just now?"

William looked at him without saying a word.

"What did you say? Why did the department flower leave directly?" Foster finished speaking and then said, "Although you've always been elusive these three years, there have been at least dozens of girls chasing you, all very beautiful, why don't you like any of them?"

"I have a girlfriend."

This statement was like a bombshell, and Foster said, "Damn, I've been with you for three years, and I didn't know you had a girlfriend. You're hiding too deep."

Bennett said, "That's not cool."

Garcia said, "Do you have a photo? Where is she from? You don't take leave every year to see her, do you? Then you two see each other once a year, that's too little."

"It's to see her."

Foster got excited and said, "Is she from your hometown? How old is she?"

"Eighteen."

"Wow, you didn't date a high school student, did you?" Foster was shocked.

The person who never spoke the most and was the coldest in the dormitory actually dated a high school student?

It was simply shocking.

"She was eighteen, if she was still here this year, she would be the same age as me, twenty-one."

Foster took a while to react, finally understanding what this sentence meant, he scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"It's okay."

Garcia said, "So you take leave every year to go back and see her?"

"Yep."

After William finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

Since then, the three of them never mentioned finding a girlfriend for him again.

In this era where love is like fast food, someone lived for a very, very long time relying on memories.

July 5th.

William's junior year came to an end, and his senior year had very few classes, almost no need to come to school, and he packed all his things back.

July 9th, in the evening.

William sat in front of Ellie's grave and talked all night.

He left at dawn.

Early August.

The company moved from the cramped small studio to an office building.

At the critical moment of progress, Daniel suddenly proposed to withdraw the investment and take dividends in advance.

William didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, just said, "The money has been transferred to you, let me know if it's not enough."

Mason was very excited, he rushed to Daniel and said, "Are you crazy? More than two years of hard work, finally at the critical moment, you say withdraw and withdraw? Are you crazy?"

Daniel just kept saying sorry.

Later, he faded out of the world of the two.

The three who initially said they would never part, ended up with only two.

After Daniel withdrew the investment, the capital chain couldn't turn around, and William almost had no money to pay salaries.

He said to the two, "Are you sure you still want to continue with me?"

Mason said, "Follow, must follow, we've been through the days when we had nothing."

Mitchell said, "As long as there's a bite to eat, I won't give up."

Even if they were tight on money, William never withheld the employees' wages, he took all the remaining money to pay salaries.

The three of them were so poor that they only had a few dollars in hand, bought a bunch of noodles, and only boiled water.

They didn't even dare to buy a bottle of mineral water.

Mason was eating plain noodles and cursing Daniel as a dog.

The two later found out the reason for Daniel's departure.

William was silent.

Mason kept cursing Daniel as an idiot.

But the two never blamed him, never.

Not a single word.

Even if the two didn't blame him, Daniel didn't dare to face them, he felt guilty and completely disappeared from their world.

Mason used to curse Daniel as an idiot every day.

But later he stopped.

He missed him coming back, just wanted him to come back.

The three of them got through the hardest time, and later someone finally saw the potential in the software and decided to invest.

Star Technology Company began to go uphill from then on.

Daniel saw the news of Yi Qiao, smiled and then his eyes filled with tears.

He couldn't go back anymore, he had no face to go back.

July 2021.

William graduated smoothly, and Star Technology Company had grown from the original small studio to a company with two office buildings in a bustling area.

Philip has been busy recently, and without his knowledge, the company has already had a large deficit, and the hole is getting bigger and bigger.

When it was finally discovered, it was too late to make up for it.

His other industries had a tight capital chain and couldn't turn around.

Xu Yanyu was so angry in the office that he threw the cup on the table to the ground.

He heard someone knocking on the door, and he said, "Get out, all get out."

But the person at the door didn't seem to want to leave at all.

Instead, he knocked on the door again, leisurely.

Sound after sound.

Philip was already overwhelmed, and the person at the door seemed to be against him, he opened the door and came face to face with the face he hadn't seen in four years.

William's shoulders are broader now, with a more youthful appearance, a pair of phoenix eyes are captivating, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, the edge between his eyebrows has not faded, the nasal bone is extremely superior, the lips are just right, and the jaw line is obvious.

He was wearing a black tailored suit, with a small rose brooch on his chest, with a good body ratio, broad shoulders and long legs, and the suit on him seemed to be born for him.

William smiled at him: "Long time no see, Sir Philip."
