Chapter 43: Sleepless Night

This night is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.

Gao Ziming scheduled an overnight plane back to Z City, his company. He couldn't stay here anymore. Although his heart was twisted when he said such words, the predicament he faced had to be resolved through marriage. He didn't expect him to come this far. He still remembered that when he left, he secretly vowed that he would come back. It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but in fact, they just haven't reached the sad place. He looked out the window at the dark and oppressive sky with teary eyes. Gone are the things that used to be.

Su Yue lay on the bed, tossing and turning, tossing and turning. She didn't expect that Gao Ziming agreed with her so happily to meet in Guangzhou last time, and it would turn out to be like tonight, in a hurry and desperate. It is even very likely that it will be the last time in this life. She felt sorry for him, felt sorry for him, and felt guilty and uneasy in her heart, but once again she couldn't do anything. She can only wish him a smooth sailing and good luck in his future work and life.

And Ren Chen, who looked at his mobile phone countless times this night, did not receive any reply from Su Yue. He stood in front of the window, worried for the first time, irritable for the first time, uncertain. In his opinion, Su Yue already has a good impression of himself, but there seems to be no more. And the strange man who came to her tonight obviously liked her very much. And since she is willing to let a man hold her like that, the relationship between the two must be unusual. He knew that he shouldn't think about these things at this stage, and that he should put all his mind on work. After all, today's situation is not easy to come by, it is the result of many people's painstaking efforts, and it is also a critical period for his lifelong wish to be fulfilled. If you are not careful, you may lose everything and make years of hard work go to waste. Thinking of this, his heart finally calmed down, and the light in his eyes became firm and clear.

The next day, Su Yue was lazy and depraved. Because of the late sleep the night before, she slept until almost noon and didn't get up until noon, and directly saved breakfast. And when she washed slowly, combed her hair, put on makeup, and changed her clothes, it was past 1 o'clock. She took a leisurely trip to the second floor of the hotel to grab a bite to eat, and then took the elevator to the first floor. She came to the alley of the day she walked with Ren Chen yesterday, she walked slowly and aimlessly alone, she felt very lonely. Especially because tomorrow is the first day of the Canton Fair, we have to get busy, today is the last day of a relaxed holiday without any chores, many people have returned together, they are in pairs, but the mood is very good. The couples are also smiling brightly and loving to the fullest. She felt even more alone.

But a faint voice in her heart told her that she had to endure and that she could not ask for any help. Because there is such a good man, because she is lost in the swamp of pain, and it is difficult to extricate herself. She couldn't be so ruthless, rubbing salt in his wounds and even stabbing him again.

In the evening, Chen Yurui and Liu Yuan finally returned from Shenzhen. They brought gifts to both Su Yue and Ren Chen. The four members of Vantone met for the first time at the dinner table after a two-day absence. The men held wine glasses, Su Yue replaced the wine with tea, and everyone raised their glasses together to wish the Canton Fair that was about to start, and the more customers and orders, the better. Because we have to get up early tomorrow, we will start eating after serving two glasses. Su Yue didn't squint the whole time, she only ate the two dishes in front of her, Ren Chen sat outside the edge of the square table, right next to Su Yue, he ate everything, and he also reached out to sandwich the sweet and sour grunt meat sitting in front of Su Yue's bowl of rice. It's just that he has a sparse smile and is polite to everyone. Su Yue is no exception.

On April 15th, the first phase of the Spring Trade Fair of China Import and Export ~ Fair was held in full swing. Each session lasts for 5 days. From April 23rd to 27th in the second phase and from May 1st to 5th in the third phase, more than 20,000 domestic and foreign enterprises, more than 200 countries and regions, and about 200,000 overseas buyers attended the meeting.

Su Yue got up at 6 o'clock this morning, and when she had done a series of things and came to the trade fair with her colleagues, it was only half past 8 o'clock, and there were no guests in the venue. After everyone pulled down the curtains, wiped off the dust accumulated on the cabinets and products for two days, set up the tables and chairs, and prepared the sample booklets, calculators, business card staplers, notebook scratch paper, and fruits, drinks, and sweets, the guests gradually arrived.

Chen Yurui and Liu Yuan were in charge of the main stall, Su Yue was in charge of the middle stall in the tenth row, and Ren Chen was in charge of the last stall. Everyone performs their duties and cooperates in the division of labor.

There weren't a lot of guests on the first day. However, one person is in charge of a stall, and at the end of the day, he is very busy.

When the music for the end of work sounded, everyone was mentally exhausted, sweating, and just wanted to go back and lie down quickly. The way back to the hotel was a long one, and it seemed far away. The speed of the bus can never keep up with the eagerness of everyone who wants to squeeze into the bus. In the huge parking plaza, the queue is long and long. Because there are a lot of people participating in the exhibition, and they come from all over the country, staying in different hotels, everyone has to find their own hotel cars, and they have to be fast and accurate. Because the further time goes on, the more congested the traffic, the later the bus returns to the hotel, the more full the restaurants in the hotel, and the later the time for eating. It's really a ring.

Sleeping on buses has become commonplace.

And that's just the beginning. By the next day, there will be more and more guests. Everyone will be busier. Although they are just some small customers, they are better than nothing. It's better than some companies squatting in the venue all day long.

It's just that in the afternoon of the next day, Su Yue received a call from Mr. Jin, saying that two colleagues who participated in the Hong Kong exhibition were coming to the Canton Fair, and asked her to go to Guangdong Building to apply for a temporary exhibitor badge for them. This was just a notice, Su Yue had no choice, and the ID cards, photocopiers and photos of the two colleagues were quickly sent over.

Su Yue was a little sad, and the other three men were thoughtful.

As soon as the signal to get off work sounded, Chen Yurui asked her to go first, and he helped her clean up the stall. Liu Yuan of the main stall made a gesture of OK at her from a distance! Su Yue's heart was warm, and then she stepped on a road in the opposite direction of the hotel alone. The convention center is not very close to her destination, nor is it too far away, but because of the amount of travel expenses, she can't choose the transportation she wants.

Su Yue first walked a long way to reach the subway station. Because she has only been to Guangdong Mansion once, and after all these years, she can't remember the road clearly. She checked and asked, and it took a while for her to determine her route. However, there is also a long queue in front of each ticket machine. 90% of them have the same blue exhibitor ID on their chests as Su Yue. It's not easy for everyone, isn't it?

I finally bought a ticket and got on the subway, I don't know how long I stood there, and I was finally able to get off. Su Yue walked out of the subway station before daring to stop a taxi. When she got her documents and found a random place to eat, she didn't want to go back with twists and turns. She took a taxi straight back to the hotel.

When she finally arrived at the door of the hotel, she felt like she was in a different world. She got out of the car and paid the driver, and found that Ren Chen had also come out of a taxi. And right behind her.

Su Yue retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and walked towards the hotel. It's just that she couldn't help but think as she walked, where did he go and come back so late?

Ren Chen bought a bowl of instant noodles, three ham sausages, and two braised eggs at the vending machine. During the five minutes of waiting for instant noodles, he remembered Su Yue's tired standing in the queue waiting for the ticket machine, her numb and unsmiling face standing on the subway, and the way she sat in the dilapidated noodle restaurant and ate with relish, the pain in his heart was unbearable, he hated himself a little, but he was even more determined to solve the matter as soon as possible.

Li Tengyi, the boy who lived in the same room with him, was surprised to see that he came back so late and hadn't eaten yet. But seeing that he didn't want to speak, he didn't ask more questions and continued to watch his TV.

Su Yue didn't come back early this night. When she pushed open the door and entered the room, she found that Ma Yushan, the girl she lived with, had fallen asleep on the bed. Her snoring was deafening.

The third day of the Canton Fair was the day with the most visitors.

Early in the morning, Su Yue was woken up by a hurried knock on the door. She probably thought of who it would be, so she took the plastic bag containing her ID and opened the door. And as she expected, Gu Hanyang and Lu Yucong of the same department stood looking at her with a smile on their faces and asked her to get a temporary exhibitor card. Su Yue handed them the documents and ID cards, and closed the door after they confirmed that there was no problem, she heard them smile and say, thank you!

Su Yue did not answer. She felt that their thanks were too cheap compared to her own hard work.

On this day, everyone's division of labor has changed in a new way. Mr. Jin instructed by phone again that Gu Hanyang and Lu Yucong were in charge of the general booth, and several other people assigned it by themselves. In the end, everyone discussed it and decided that Su Yue and Liu Yurui were in charge of their own stalls, and Ren Chen and Liu Yuan were in charge of his original stalls. And on this day, everyone was full of harvest, and everyone was lucky to have on-site signing. Amounts range from a few thousand dollars to one or two thousand dollars.

On the fourth day there were much fewer people. In the middle of the afternoon, many overseas buyers began to go back. Gu Hanyang and Lu Yucong also took a plane back to City A that night.

There were no guests on the last day. Occasionally, those who come just walk in to have a look, and soon leave, not real guests at all. It is rare for everyone to get up late all morning, and even if there are those who get up early, they just rely on laughter and play to kill time, and the morning passes easily.

The dismantling began after lunch.

However, Chen Yurui, the lucky one, ushered in his biggest customer since he participated in the Canton Fair on this day.

The customer is Israeli, and they are very interested in the Israeli switch sockets from Metrohm. Place an order of $50,000 on the spot. However, they also hope to open new abrasives in Vantone. They chatted with Chen Yurui from noon to mid-afternoon, and finally decided to go to the Wantong factory in City A with them the next day.

I don't know why, Ren Chen's face that has been frozen for many days showed a bright smile for the first time.
