The huge screen flickered like a poetic movie in the dimness, but Yao Zhixia couldn't concentrate tonight.

I wanted to tell Xue Rin that she had obtained the translation certificate at dinner, but when Xue Rin excitedly announced that the local government of Island A had decided to speed up the project process and would listen to the final project report next week, Yao Zhixia's words were taken back by her.

The three-day departure on Monday will include not only Xue Rin and his boss Yue Qun, but also Lin Qingyu, who will go with her as the head of the Dahua Group.

Hearing this news, Yao Zhixia's heart "chuckled", this journey seemed to mean the ringing of the parting bell for her, and the day she was going to leave was not far away.

Xue Rin lazily rested his head on Yao Zhixia's shoulder, habitually rubbing her hand.

At the end of the movie, the male protagonist received a call from the man he fell in love with in that crazy summer, and suddenly learned that the other party was going to get married, he stared silently at the raging fire in the fireplace, he had always thought that he had let go of the past, and at this moment he hopelessly realized that that person had not actually left, and he had been desperately living in the memories of that person.

When the music at the end sounded, Xue Rin raised his head and saw Yao Zhixia with tears in his eyes.

"Yao Zhixia, Yao Zhixia, every time I watch a movie, it makes you cry, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Yao Zhixia rubbed his face with his hand, but he didn't say anything.

"This is just a movie, how can there be so much love that can't be together in reality!" Xue Rin, who has always been sensible, never thinks about how hypocritical love is.

"Xue Rin, if you were the male protagonist, would you keep the person you love?"

"If I were him, in a word, if you want to love, I will live up to you, no matter how reasonable he is, worldly people, but if you become a deserter, then you will never see each other again. ”

After Xue Rin finished speaking, he got up and put on a coat, "It's late, you won't be on the morning shift tomorrow, I'll send you back." ”

Yao Zhixia nodded absentmindedly, got up and walked towards the door.

Xue Rin turned back and picked up the canvas bag that Yao Zhixia had left on the sofa.

"Why are you so careful, aren't you usually very careful? Is it because I have to go on a business trip tomorrow and meet Lin Qingyu, you have been so restless tonight?" Xue Rin pulled the collar of Yao Zhixia's coat to the middle.

"No, I'm glad your first project went so well. ”

"Are you sure you're not jealous?" Xue Rin smiled and scratched his finger at the tip of Yao Zhixia's nose.

Yao Zhixia pursed her lips and shook her head lightly.

Xue Rin immediately leaned down and imprinted a kiss on Yao Zhixia's lips, "Good, wait for me to come back and surprise you!"

Yao Zhixia pulled out a smile with difficulty, but didn't say anything.

Sending Yao Zhixia to the door of the unit, Xue Rin waved his hand and turned to leave.

But just a few steps away, two slender arms passed behind him, tightly surrounding his chest, Xue Rin was stunned in place, and when he reacted, he smiled brightly.

"What, you can't bear me?" Xue Rin lowered his head and put his hands on the hands that were clenching him hard.

The person behind him didn't respond at all, but the force in his hand increased a little.

"Hmm, when did Yao Zhixia become my koala, you are so clingy to me, if I leave you one day, what will you do?"

After Xue Rin finished speaking, he forcefully broke the restraint on his body, turned around and put the koala that didn't say a word into his arms.

"In the future, whether I am by your side or not, you must always miss me, and you must remember the temperature of this embrace, so that when I come back from going out, you will not get lost. ”

"Well, I'll always remember. Yao Zhixia's voice came from Xue Rin's arms, and the tone was a little muffled.

Xue Rin lowered his head and kissed Yao Zhixia's hair, his heart was as sweet as honey.

----

Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Xue Rin, Yao Zhixia rushed to the supermarket as usual, but today she made a big decision.

"You want to resign?" Liu Piaopiao looked at Yao Zhixia in shock.

"Hmm. Yao Zhixia nodded calmly, still labeling the goods in her hands.

"You've just got your translation certificate, and you're leaving the supermarket?"

Liu Piaopiao was both happy for Yao Zhixia, but also a little regretful, and she would never be able to work with Sister Zhixia in the future.

"Well, I sent in a lot of resumes last night, and I wanted to start trying to do some simple translation work. ”

Liu Piaopiao nodded, she didn't worry too much about Yao Zhixia's livelihood, and when she and Gong Yan came back from their hometown after dealing with the guarantee problem, they returned all the money Yao Zhixia lent her as soon as possible.

Gong Yan's connections are really hard enough, and within a few days, the absconding debtor was arrested by the police in a nearby town, and the lawyer also clarified the loopholes and the scope of the guarantee obligation when the contract was signed, and finally Liu Piaopiao's family retreated, keeping the only house in the family and the restaurant that Liu Piaopiao's mother had run for many years.

"Sister Zhixia, we all have to work hard! I believe that you will succeed!" Liu Piaopiao said excitedly.

Yao Zhixia stopped the movement in his hand, "Piao Piao, you say, can God hear our wishes? If we are not greedy, is this enough?"

Liu Piaopiao pouted in confusion and replied, "Maybe, God it really appeared! And it also gave you an extra gift package! Not only do you have a new career to break into now, but Xue Rin is with you!"

Hearing Xue Rin's name, Yao Zhixia's eyes dimmed a little.

When she was parting last night, when Xue Rin's figure gradually faded away, the pain of parting that she had felt many years ago suddenly burned her will, making her run towards that figure with all her might.

She wanted to protect this man for the rest of her life, but she knew very well in her heart that the self-prejudice she tied to her body not only made her unable to be herself calmly in front of him, but also made her not have the courage to enjoy his love with peace of mind.

The decision to leave was her cocoon after all, Lin Qingyu's trick was just a fuse, more precisely, it was just an excuse for Yao Zhixia to persuade herself to be a coward.

Midnight dream, even she herself looked down on her cowardice and inferiority, and obviously said that she would go down bravely together, but she became a despicable deserter, and the person who was qualified to stand next to Xue Rin would not be like this after all.

Taking advantage of the fact that Liu Piaopiao and Gong Yan were going to watch a movie together, after work, Yao Zhixia went to the real estate agency alone and made an appointment to see the house the next day, and her escape plan unfolded silently.

With the spare key that Xue Rin left for her when she left, Yao Zhixia opened the door of Xue Rin's house, and Pengpeng, who was sleeping heavily, immediately rushed towards her, whining and screaming non-stop, as if she had been wronged.

Ding Man meowed a few times, then jumped lightly on Yao Zhixia's shoulder, rubbing her cheek with his head.

"Are you two making trouble at home?" Yao Zhixia stroked the fluffy head, looking at its longing eyes, reluctant to float to his heart.

"In the future, when I'm gone, I have to obediently listen to Brother Xue Rin's words, you know?" Yao Zhixia said, hugging Peng Peng into his arms.

"I'm sorry, Puffy, Tinmon, it's not that I don't love you, it's just that I really should live my own life, don't forget me. ”

----

Xue Rin felt exhausted from two consecutive days of project meetings, and after dinner, he went back to his room, took a shower, wrapped a bath towel around his waist, and walked out of the bathroom.

While wiping his hair, he dialed Yao Zhixia's voice call.

After a long time, a faint "Hey" finally came from the other end of the phone. ”

"Why did it take so long to pick up, what are you doing?" Xue Rin casually threw the towel on the sofa and threw himself on the bed relaxedly.

"Didn't do anything, just took a shower. ”

"I haven't seen you for two days, do you miss me?"

"Hmm. ”

"You're just 'um' for a while, hey, Yao Zhixia, you're too unenthusiastic......

"Xue Rin, take care of yourself. ”

"Huh?"

"Eat on time, don't always eat something cold, don't always work until the middle of the night to go to bed, don't hurt yourself with alcohol even when you're unhappy, and most importantly, be a person with light in your heart. ”

"Yao Zhixia, why are you telling me this?" Xue Rin sat up in confusion.

"I just hope that everything is going well for you. ”

"I see, I wonder why you suddenly said these words to me, okay, okay, I can't listen to you to be a good baby, let me tell you, the past two days have been going very well, and the contract should be signed tomorrow, you have to wait for me at home! I'll be back the night after tomorrow." ”

"Xue Rin, there's something ......"

Ding dong!

Yao Zhixia was just about to speak, when he heard the doorbell on the other end of the phone.

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door. ”

Xue Rin took his mobile phone to open the door, estimating that it wouldn't be a big deal so late, so he didn't hang up the call with Yao Zhixia.

When he opened the door, he was surprised to find that Lin Qingyu was actually wearing a bathrobe standing outside the door.

"Are you free?"

Lin Qingyu looked at Xue Rin's upper body, and her eyes were a little ambiguous.

"What's the matter?" replied Xue Rin vigilantly.

"About signing a contract tomorrow. ”

Xue Rin stared at Lin Qingyu's eyes, trying to guess her true intentions, at this important juncture, to talk to him about signing a contract, wouldn't it be a moth?

"Wait a minute. ”

Xue Rin walked a few steps into the house after speaking, and he put his phone to his ear.

"I ......"

"There you go!"

"Did you hear that?"

"Well, work matters, let's go!"

"Well, then you have to wait for me to come back and go to bed early. ”

"Okay, good night. ”

"Good night. ”

Hanging up the phone, Xue Rin glanced defensively at Lin Qingyu, who was waiting for him at the door.

"You wait for me, I'll go change my clothes. After Xue Rin finished speaking, he entered the back room.

Lin Qingyu leaned against the door, caressing her smooth hair, "Hmph! Yao Zhixia, what are you going to fight with me!"

Hanging up the phone, Yao Zhixia looked at the few pieces of clothes in front of her and lost her mind, she could naturally hear who the voice was, but reason told her that since she chose to give up, don't blame others for choosing to persevere.

Yao Zhixia dragged the suitcase in front of him, and sped up to pack the few clothes he had in recent years one by one.

----

The next day, it was a day worth exciting signing, but although Lin Qingyu, who had completed the signing ceremony, had a decent smile on her face, she was always worried in her heart.

At the end of the signing ceremony, in the face of her hand that she took the initiative to stretch out, Xue Rin only shook it politely, and without even making any eye contact with her, he crossed her and shook hands with Director You behind her.

The loss in Lin Qingyu's eyes flashed, and she immediately regained her smile and greeted the government officials who came to congratulate her.

On the way back to the hotel, Lin Qingyu, who was supposed to be happy about the successful completion of her first project since becoming the director of the investment department, kept looking out of the car silently, recalling the events of last night worriedly.

Lin Qingyu originally planned to invite Xue Rin to her room to talk last night, but Xue Rin didn't give any face and left a sentence: "Either talk in the hall downstairs, or don't talk about it." ”

Knowing that Xue Rin was a soft eater who didn't eat hard, Lin Qingyu had no choice but to compromise.

"Aren't you going to drink something?" said Lin Qingyu, sitting on the sofa in the hall.

"No, just say it. Xue Rin sat down opposite Lin Qingyu.

"Do you have to talk to me in such a tone? Can't we be friendly friends with each other?"

"At the last class reunion, what the hell did you want to do at the dinner table, I think you and I both know that the reason why I can sit here and talk to you is just for the Qianxiang Group. Xue Rin said coldly.

"I just think she's very familiar, so I don't have any other ideas! I think you've wronged me!" Lin Qingyu had an innocent expression.

"I didn't wronged you, you know it in your own heart, what do you want to say about the signing?" Xue Rin was already starting to get impatient.

"Xue Rin, the signing of the contract is just my excuse, can't you see that I want to see you, I want to talk to you before I ask you out?" Lin Qingyu frowned aggrievedly, her voice a little choked.

"Miss Lin, I have made it very clear to you before, we are really not suitable. ”

"Xue Rin, do you know why I am willing to help you keep your identity a secret? Through these days of cooperation, I can see that you are an ambitious and capable person, and the reason why I will work so hard to promote this project as you is just to help you achieve your goals, but you are ...... But he was so cruel to me!"

"Miss Lin, I thank you for keeping my true identity secret, you are an excellent girl, why do you do such immature things for the sake of such feelings that will not be reciprocated at all?"

"Xue Rin, I've helped you so much in your career, and your girlfriend is just a waitress with no background and no education, she can't do anything for you, I don't understand, what am I not as good as her?"

Lin Qingyu, who has always been arrogant, hates being ignored by others, let alone being ignored by people he has a good impression of.

Xue Rin sighed helplessly, and said indifferently, "How much cooked steak do I like?"

"What?" Lin Qingyu was puzzled.

"Do I like noodle soup, or do I like bibimbap?"

"You ......"

"What's my favorite movie, do I get drunk when I'm unhappy, or do I drive for a ride? Do I like to watch opera or do I like to listen to rock?"

"Xue Rin......"

"Lin Qingyu, we don't know each other at all, you don't like me at all, what you like is just a group heir who can be worthy of your identity, and the envy and appreciation of the outside world for you, that's not liking, that's just terrible possessiveness. ”

"What if we don't love each other, as long as we are together, wealth, status, and the future of the group will be secured, is there anything wrong with that?"

"Okay, even if we get married and stabilize everything on the outside, will you feel happy? I don't love you, I won't be nostalgic for this family, I won't care if you are in this home or not, do you think it's worth it for you to exchange your life for a cold mansion and countless wealth?"

"It's as if you are noble, but Xue Rin, have you considered the consequences of rejecting me? If I refuse to sign tomorrow, for your group, this project will be equivalent to smashing into your hands, and you have concealed your identity to enter the company, isn't it just to prove your ability to Xue Dong? If Xue Dong knew that you ruined such a big project of the group because of his personal feelings, how would he feel? How could the group accept an heir who was mixed with a waitress?"

Lin Qingyu, who wanted to hide her claws, saw that Xue Rin didn't eat her set of delaying tactics, so she couldn't hold her breath and showed her hole cards, she had never lost since she was a child, even if she had to take on the interests of her own company, she couldn't swallow the breath of rejection.

Xue Rin, who heard this, did not respond immediately, he raised his hand to call the waiter and ordered two glasses of lemonade.

Lin Qingyu was a little proud when she saw Xue Rin's previous attitude, "What's the matter, you changed your mind?"

Xue Rin took a sip of lemonade and said unhurriedly, "Shen Xing and Liu Haiyang, are you still familiar with them?"

When Lin Qingyu heard these two names, he instantly became vigilant, these two are the shareholders of Dahua Group second only to Lin Jiashang's shareholding, not only the co-founders of the group, they are still the executives in the group.

"Before you returned to China, a development project that was personally decided by your father was forced to run aground on the way to implementation due to project violations, which caused your company a lot of losses and made these two shareholders quite dissatisfied. ”

"So what?" Lin Qingyu asked sharply.

"After you returned to China, you finally sat in the position of director of the investment department under the competition with the sons of those two shareholders, you say, will they be happy?"

"How did you know about this?" This was obviously an internal struggle of the group, Lin Qingyu was surprised how Xue Rin could know.

"Because the two of them went to my father. Xue Rin deliberately hid the second half of the sentence.

Lin Qingyu's face suddenly became ugly, she knew what it meant, there were frequent incidents in the business world to force the monarch to abdicate, not to mention, her father still had the handle in the hands of these shareholders.

She has been overseas for so many years, and she is also very clear about her father's situation, if it weren't for the fact that those two shareholders successively encircled other shareholders to deal with her father, she would not suddenly return to China to assist her father, if things are really as Xue Rin said, then the attitude and tendency of Qianxiang Group will become particularly important to Lin Jiashang.

"So, what is the attitude of the Xue family?" Lin Qingyu lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

Xue Rin raised his head and drank the lemonade in the cup, "The attitude of the Xue family depends on your attitude. ”

After speaking, Xue Rin got up and prepared to go back to the room, and when he passed by Lin Qingyu, he stopped and said in a low voice: "I didn't give you coffee, I think, you won't need it tonight." ”
