Chapter 59: No More Hiding
On Monday at work, Zhang Yang finally stopped hiding anything.
He brought breakfast and sat directly at Bei Wei's desk early in the morning, eating with her as if no one else existed.
Little steamed buns and soy milk filled the desk.
"Brother Zhang, you can't finish it. Have one more bun," Bei Wei said with a hint of playfulness, using her chopsticks to place the last bun into Zhang Yang's container.
The gesture made their relationship completely obvious.
Earlier, colleagues had been surprised to see this but held back from asking. Now, even a fool could figure it out.
Across the office, dozens of people exchanged glances, and many whispered privately, speculating over and over.
"Did I see that right?"
"Bei Wei? Zhang Yang?!"
"The sun rose in the west-Zhang Yang actually got Bei Wei?"
"No way, no way!"
"The Porsche guy couldn't win her over, yet this quiet Zhang Yang managed it behind the scenes?"
Among the male employees, two new hires who had once tried and failed to get close to Bei Wei widened their eyes in shock.
Especially when they saw Zhang Yang casually drape his hand over Bei Wei's shoulder.
Their fists clenched, blood rushing, hearts filled with strong resentment.
Why him? Why Zhang Yang?
"Zhang Yang, you-you-you…" a few of them stepped forward, eyes red, wanting to demand an explanation.
Their actions were irrational, but subconsciously, they saw Zhang Yang as someone who broke the rules, who competed unfairly.
"Excuse me, do you have a problem?" Zhang Yang stood, puzzled, looking at the young men who had only recently joined the company.
At 1.8 meters tall, with a perfectly proportioned body, subtle muscular definition under his clothes, and striking facial features…
The impact of his presence hit immediately.
Even calm Zhang Yang didn't need to say a word; the young men froze and instantly regained composure.
"Nothing… nothing," they muttered, scratching their heads and turning away.
Zhang Yang's transformation hadn't happened overnight. Reflecting on it, they cursed silently, realizing every 'fat kid' is a hidden potential stock.
This one? A golden potential stock indeed.
His change wasn't abrupt; now, this appearance wasn't shocking at all.
Today, the entire office carried a peculiar atmosphere-a taste of heartbreak. Everyone knew that Bei Wei from the design department had chosen to be with Zhang Yang from the planning department. Which Zhang Yang? There was only one.
One had rejected the Porsche guy.
One had single-handedly outdone that mysterious Porsche guy.
Today, everyone believed in love.
At lunch, the female colleagues from the design department, giggling and teasing, pulled Bei Wei along to eat.
They had so many questions.
"How? Bei Wei, how did you choose Zhang Yang?"
"Yeah! We all thought your boyfriend was the mysterious Porsche guy!"
Bei Wei simply smiled.
"Isn't Brother Zhang good?"
Everyone froze for a moment.
"Yeah, isn't Zhang Yang good?"
Looking back, Zhang Yang may have seemed ordinary in some ways, but he had no glaring flaws-just ordinary enough that everyone thought Bei Wei could have done better.
As the elevator doors closed, a hand reached in to stop them.
A tall, handsome figure entered.
"Not waiting for me?" Zhang Yang glanced at his gossiping female colleagues and smiled at Bei Wei.
The women looked up at him, frozen.
Indeed, Zhang Yang was no longer the old Zhang.
Who could have imagined that after losing weight, he'd become so tall and handsome? Just moments ago, their minds had unconsciously relied on old impressions, and it took time to adjust.
At this moment, everyone finally appreciated the transformation.
"Zhang Yang, I never imagined you were such a potential stock!" said Wang Jie from the design department, full of admiration.
A quiet, gradual change that astonishes everyone.
"I should have made a move earlier," said a petite, chubby colleague. "If I had helped you lose weight back then, maybe I'd be the one by your side today."
The little chubby girl looked at Zhang Yang, her eyes flashing something different.
Zhang Yang winked, giving her a quiet, encouraging look.
"You didn't need me. Losing weight alone, you'd still have become better and found someone better."
"Thanks for the encouragement, Zhang Yang."

Although the boss had changed, company operations continued as usual.
The parent company managed vertically, middle managers reported remotely, and the HR and finance directors were reportedly being urgently recruited and would arrive soon.
Mingyang Advertising was still run by the same colleagues, everyone still working nine-to-five.
Life went on day by day, seemingly unchanged.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yang and Bei Wei were finally coming and going together at the company, earning envious glances and spreading a wave of public displays of affection.
Xiang Youde had changed.
He began imitating Zhang Yang-new hairstyle, new wardrobe, dieting, eating low-fat lunches, cutting sugar and heavy oils.
"Zhang Yang, why does my weight loss not look like yours?"
One day, Xiang Youde, desperate, pointed to his haggard face from rapid collagen loss and asked while sporting a slicked-back hairstyle.
Uh…
Zhang Yang couldn't tell him that while effort mattered, it was the system's finishing touches that had truly created his current self.
But it was fine-Lao Xiang still had options.
"You didn't ask on RedNote, did you?" Zhang Yang asked, pointing at his phone.
"What? What does RedNote have to do with anything?" Xiang Youde's eyes widened.
"I'm here today all thanks to the sisters on RedNote giving advice. Why don't you try?" Zhang Yang suggested seriously.
Xiang Youde looked at the tall, handsome Zhang Yang, then at his phone, his expression shifting dramatically.
That day, on RedNote, Xiang Youde created his first post as 'Little Xiang':
[Can't find a partner, where do you think my problem is?]
Thus began Xiang Youde's own journey of self-improvement.
His future might have limits, but one thing was certain-tomorrow would be better than today.
