Chapter Ninety-Six: To Each His Own Mind
Yin Jie is on a business trip again. I stayed in Fujian for nearly a week before returning to the imperial capital.
This week was the time she had left for Summer to perform, and for her to look further into Flora.
During this visit to Fujian enterprises, all the PPT introductions were made by Flora, and Yin Jie was only responsible for answering customers' questions. Flora was smart enough to record all the questions raised by the entrepreneurs and Yin Jie's Q&A during the meeting. Every night, Yin Jie commented on her performance during the day, and she gave full play to the style of "a good memory is better than a bad pen", completely recorded Yin Jie's comments and suggestions, and consciously improved them in the Presentation the next day. In addition, while listening to the recording every night to organize the Memo of the daytime meeting, she also sorted out a table of questions raised by the company and Yin Jie's answers, and set up notes at the back, indicating what position the person asked the question and how often the question was asked.
In each meeting, Flora carefully observes Yin Jie's conversations with entrepreneurs. She found that each of Yin Jie's answers was very close to the actual situation and specific needs of the corresponding enterprises, so the acceptance of the opposite enterprises was very high. This reminded her of the exhortation that Yin Jie asked her and Summer to try their best to familiarize herself with the target company's situation during the return visit in April.
She now finally understands how useful it is for the job to read the needs of the business in advance.
Before the business trip, she knew that Yin Jie was pregnant, and at the same time, she was happy for Yin Jie, and at the same time, she tried to do as much as possible during the business trip. At the same time, there were some worries in her heart.
"Evita and her husband love each other so much, the outcome should be different. She silently prayed and looked forward to it in her heart.
After returning to the imperial capital, Yin Jie, the daughter-in-law who was "burdened with heavy responsibilities", was warmly greeted by the whole family. After eating, chatting a little to eliminate food, He Yuxin took Yin Jie to wash up and go back to the house to rest.
At night, looking at Yin Jie's sleeping face, which seemed particularly quiet, He Yuxin gently pulled the towel higher to cover her fragrant shoulders.
Because the body temperature of pregnant women is higher than normal, the temperature of the air conditioner in the house is set relatively low, but Yin Jie often feels hot at such a low temperature. The whole family has a unified position on this, no matter how coquettish she is, she will not allow He Yuxin to lower the temperature anymore.
Usually at this time, Yin Jie must still be sitting on the bed and complaining to him, "It's too hot", but today she slept so quietly and sweetly.
He Yuxin knew that business trips were always hard, and he was already used to Yin Zhuo's poor performance, but this time he was still a little distressed when he saw her tanned and thin.
He originally understood that Yin Jie's idea was to work hard while he was young, save performance and prestige in this industry as soon as possible, accumulate the capital at hand, and then he could slow down appropriately and enjoy life.
But after returning from a business trip to Shenzhen this time, he found that Yin Jie had changed again. Her whole person became more determined, and her breath became more serene. Even when it comes to Ning Haoran, who has always bothered her, she no longer has that kind of panic and uneasiness, as if a chess player has seen the overall situation and is confidently dropping one by one.
This change should be said to be good, but why is he so lost? He Yuxin actually has the panic that his treasure is about to fly away.
He was afraid of the panic. Since growth is what she wants, he won't stop her from any attempts, it's just... Don't leave him.
He Yuxin looked at the sleeping Yin Jie gently.
I don't know what happened in Shenzhen?
It would be good to move back to her parents' house to take care of her, but the space between the two of them is also very squeezed, and there is almost no more. He Yuxin especially misses the days when the husband and wife snuggled and chatted in the small courtyard, or sipping tea on the tatami mats while making friends.
Although the two of them have been in a long-distance relationship for nearly a year, it is all beautiful when they think about it now. At that time, the two of them talked on the phone until late at night every night, and contributed a lot of money to China Telecom's phone bills every month. Once every two weeks, he flew to see her in K City on Friday night, and the last flight back to the imperial capital on Sunday. During this period, there were a lot of sweet little stories, which were gathered bit by bit, and finally broke through the barriers set by Old Tarzan and his eldest brother between him and her.
He kept all those little surprises and small touches. Choose a souvenir at a time, or a plane ticket, or a list of phone bills, or a photo... Booklet after booklet was framed, and it still continues, and every page records his emotion and joy. He plans to take a slow look at the two of them when he gets old.
It is said that couples who love each other again will have at least fifty violent quarrels in their lifetime. He looked at the sleeping face of his lover in front of him and whispered, "Shall we break the lowest record?"
We're going to be together forever. I'll never hurt you, and you don't want to leave me, okay?
... ...
If He Yuxin's opponents see him now, it is estimated that everyone will have to go to the hospital for an eye examination.
Is this still the smiling tiger who is full of wisdom and calculates that the dead will not pay for his life? What do you want to do with the fragility on your face now?
***
At this time, Ning Haoran was also thinking about Yin Jie.
Yin Jie is going to have a child, which will definitely affect his work for a long time. But what now? The person is already pregnant, and she can't be forced to unload the goods, right? If she really does that,... ...
Ning Haoran touched his chin, he really couldn't do this.
Ning Haoran thinks he is a more decent person. The destruction of a person's life, even if it is only a mass of cells in the strict sense of the word, is not a human being, and it is a means that he is unwilling to take. Although if Yin Jie miscarries, even if she is generously given a month to recuperate, the time that affects her work will be greatly shortened...
No, he can't do such a thing!
The phone rings.
βHelloγ β
"I'm Erdmann. A familiar voice came over the phone.
"Hi Erdmann, good day. Ning Haoran switched German proficiently, "You are calling to talk about Uri Tobler's project, right?"
After the two finished chatting about the project, Ning Haoran asked in a heavy tone, "Erdmann, do you know that Evita is pregnant?"
"I know, she told me during the Shenzhen meeting. There was also a hint of regret in Erdmann's tone, "Ning, what do you think?"
"I talked to Evita and she said she would keep her job going and it wouldn't be affected too much. The only problem was the autumn expedition, which she couldn't lead over. Ning Haoran said.
"What are you talking about?" Erdmann asked.
She came up with two options: Option A, where she would train Flora and Summer for the next few months, and let them both go there together and work under the guidance of Christoph or Marco. β
Erdmann pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm afraid it won't work." Flora has indeed grown a lot better than at the Nanjing Conference, but her ability is obviously still insufficient. I also met Summer this time, she is a very calm person, she is enough to be an assistant, and if she is in charge of the project alone, her knowledge and experience are all shortcomings. β
Ning Haoran continued: "Her plan B is for me, or an experienced employee within Ning's family, to take Summer over to provide services for the company. β
Erdmann was silent. After a while, he spoke: "It's a plan, but it's not perfect. β
He then added: "Ning, the purpose of this visit is not only to let Chinese entrepreneurs see all aspects of Haosen, but more importantly, to satisfy the sponsors of the event, especially the government." β
He paused, then continued, "It may be a little offensive to say that, but you know I'm just being honest. Evita has a talent for accurately capturing the interests of various stakeholders and then harmonizing them perfectly. Anyone who brings a group here now except herself is worried that it will disappoint the sponsors. β
Ning Haoran was a little speechless. He understood what Erdmann meant, and that failing to meet expectations would in turn be a loss of confidence.
He couldn't help blurting out:
"This Evita is really going to give us trouble! it would be nice if something happened now, so that we could both be solved. β
After saying that, he regretted it and immediately began to explain:
"Erdmann, please don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. I'm just sorry that I'm in such a difficult situation right now. So you see, it's so much trouble to recruit female heads. It seems that in the future, I will have to set an extra gender condition when recruiting for the head. Hahahaha...
He reciprocated with a high-pitched laugh.
Erdmann's gentle voice came: "Dear Ning, of course I know what you think. But you know, talent is God-given, and it has nothing to do with gender. Shall we do so, or if we cancel this expedition, do you agree?"
Ning Haoran asked, "Do those sponsors agree?"
"I haven't formally negotiated sponsorship with all parties yet, so it's still too late. Even if you don't, it's better than disappointing them, right? And it's a good biennial event. Erdmann said mildly.
After Ning Haoran agreed, Erdmann put down the phone.
The corners of his mouth sneered: I really didn't expect that a person who has been working together for so long can be so cold-blooded and sexist.
Ning Haoran put down the phone, but he was relaxed. The expedition has been canceled, okay, a big problem has been solved, and you can also knock Evita on it.
At the same time, Summer's heart is at war with heaven and man. To be exact, she didn't feel that she had anything to be sorry for Evita, and now it's not a feudal society, and there's no such thing as "betraying the master". Besides, isn't it also her duty as a head to teach Yin Jie to teach herself?
But what is the uneasiness and guilt that lingers in my heart? Is I really too kind? A virgin?
During the few days that Evita and Flora were on a business trip, she seized the opportunity to deepen Mr. Ning's impression of her.
Maybe it won't be long before Evita's project will be in his own hands, right? Perhaps, Mr. Ning will soon have another appointment for him?
... ...
The night was not peaceful.
