Chén Zhāoyáng slowly raised his head, his eyes meeting Zhang Wenbin's as the corners of his mouth curved up slightly into an apologetic smile. The smile carried a hint of helplessness while also revealing a touch of sincerity.
His voice was calm and gentle, as if he had carefully weighed his words before speaking. "Manager Zhang, your company's offer is indeed very generous, and I am deeply grateful for it. However, as you know, I am currently only a freshman, and I am sure you have heard how heavy the academic burden is at Qinghua University."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "In such an intense study environment, I simply cannot spare enough time and energy to handle a job at your company alongside my studies. I am afraid it would affect my academic performance and prevent me from dedicating myself fully to company matters. Therefore, despite a certain reluctance in my heart, I can only say I am terribly sorry."
