Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

As Yoona left, Gu Shangyan collapsed on the couch. These fights were killing something inside his heart bit by bit. He could no longer hold on to this relationship. There was no meaning to it. He didn't know what happened to them. They were so in love with each other but now he wasn't even sure if they loved each other.

However, he knew that he and Yoona once had something beautiful and he wanted to give their relationship another chance. Because even when there was no meaning to it, he just wanted to give it a chance so that he wouldn't regret it in future.

When he joined a firm in Italy, he thought he was saving his relationship. When they left London, he had the same delusion but when she asked him to move to New York for him, he was not very sure. They needed distance between them to think clearly about their blurry future.

That night Yoona didn't come home. Instead, she texted him that she was leaving for Newyork and that she would live there for the next six months. She had gotten a big job.

Yoona was a successful model, still her passion to become even greater than her mother was something he couldn't understand. To become great is good but to the point of obsessing over it? He didn't know what to do about it.

Yoona wanted to prove to everyone that she didn't get jobs because of her mom who was a former supermodel but because of her own talent but she got too deep proving that she forgot the fun of doing jobs just for its sake.

Two weeks after Yoona left for Newyork, he was lost and he didn't know what to do next. He was ambitionless. It was easier when he was in high school. He knew that the only thing expected of him was studying and getting good marks. When he came to London, he knew that he had to do well in college and make Yoona happy. But now that he was an adult, he had everything he worked for and almost nothing he desired, he was lost. He didn't know what to do right now.

Careerwise, he was doing great. He had a good job, and a house in Italy but he was alone. He had no one to call family here. The only person he was doing everything for was busy chasing her own dreams. This loneliness was pricking his heart like a thorn.

In a drunken state, one night he sent a resignation letter to his office. The reason– he had no idea about it. Hell, he had never thought about leaving his firm. Where did the thought of resigning come to his mind? It would have been better if it was just a thought but he was courageous enough to send a direct resignation letter to the CEO.

When he woke up the next day, the CEO of the firm was shocked to hear that one of the best employees was leaving. The CEO called him and asked the reason for his resignation.

Gu Shangyan was blank as a sheet of paper. He had no idea what the CEO was even talking about. They suggested making him the partner if he stayed but he didn't know what came to his mind, he didn't cancel his resignation and currently was now sitting in his fancy apartment jobless and deep in thought.

The next morning, Gu Shangyan decided to stop thinking about the uncertainty of the future and try living in the present. He had been living in Italy for a few years but never got the chance to explore it. Pathetic, right? He left the apartment and explored the city for the next few days with no goal whatsoever. As he was scrolling through the news on his phone, sitting alone on a bench in front of a great Italian historical site where families were laughing and enjoying themselves, he knew what he had to do. He was miserable there. All he wanted was to go home. This sudden epiphany changed his life.

While scrolling through the news, he paused on the Chinese news where Lu Xuan was once again in the headlines. This time, his dear brother had fired the team of architects. He just knew what he had to do. He ran to his car, turned on his laptop and applied for a job in the Orchid Group of hotels.

Since the company was hiring, he got an interview call that night. Without wasting any time, he booked the flight back home. He reached China early in the morning and instead of going to the family house, he went straight to the hotel that he had booked and freshened up for the interview.

It happened so quickly and weirdly that he had no idea what and how it happened.

The team for the interview was satisfied with his resume and experience. He was what they were looking for in their team. He was best known to work for hotels and restaurants. It was his forte.

"Congratulations, you are hired, Mr Gu. You can join from Monday, "The interviewer replied. They shook hands. He turned to look at his partner and said, "Contact Director Lu and tell him that the spot for the senior architect is filled and he can discuss the project with our architect if he is at the office."

"So, I will be working under director Lu?" Gu Shangyan asked, amused. Seriously, a week ago, he was a miserable man but today he couldn't stop feeling happy. He was so happy that he couldn't express it in his words.

"Mr Gu, we have seen the work you have done abroad, " The interviewer said. "You fit perfectly into the project that the company had taken recently."

Gu Shangyan nodded his head. "It will be my pleasure working here."
