101 There is little hope
Sit next to the piano and open the lid to reveal the black and white keys quietly arranged in front of you. Cai Yue's heart was a little upset, so she didn't sit down, just stood, and her fingers pressed two keys at random, and then two again.
I haven't played the piano for a short time, and I feel that my fingers seem to be a little stiff. Listening to the sound of a few keys, she finally sat down, her fingers figuring between the black and white keys for a moment. Soon, the sound of the piano sounded coherently as her fingers continued to jump and rise and fall.
She played "Mystery Garden", a very sad song.
When she played this song, she still couldn't help but think of what happened to Xiao Tian in this piano room before, so warm and beautiful! But occasionally, she would also think of Qiu Yan.
This piece will be even better if it is paired with a violin, and Qiu Yan's violin is quite good.
At the end of the song, Cai Yue hung her head in a daze, did not close her eyes, did not stand up, only felt that the whole person was empty.
"Why do you want to play such a tune?" a male voice suddenly sounded beside him.
She looked up suddenly, and sure enough, it was Xiao Tian standing by the piano less than a meter away from her. How can this man walk like a cat and have no sound?
"I just played it, not why. She stood up and wanted to leave.
"Don't go. Xiao Tian stretched out his arm to stop her, but he didn't catch her, and he didn't even touch her body carefully.
Cai Yue looked up at him, his eyes were very different from usual, not as aggressive as before, but there was some sentimentality.
Cai Yue felt that since that press conference, Xiao Tian was a little different from before. At that press conference, Xiao Tian publicly admitted to everyone that there was a crisis in the relationship between him and her, and she might leave him and choose Qiu Yan.
Privately, he had always told her that he would never let go of her, and that he had always believed that she could not leave him.
Cai Yue didn't know if Xiao Tian said that at the press conference, because his confidence in her relationship with him was shaken, or because he just wanted to assert her right to choose freely.
No matter what the case is, Cai Yue feels that she is a little uncomfortable with the current Xiao Tian.
In fact, speaking of which, she can leave Xiao Tian Villa now. She knew that if she left now, Xiao Tian would not stop her. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to admit their emotional crisis in front of so many people. At the beginning, the reason why they maintained the current state of fake cohabitation was to let the public think that their relationship was fine.
But she never left.
She felt that in fact, in the bottom of her heart, she still vaguely hoped that she could get back together with Xiao Tian. She's giving him a chance, and she's giving herself a chance. It's just that this hope should be very slim, and she really doesn't know if she is sticking to a mistake by doing this.
Let the lost love start again, this should be the wish of many former lovers, right? It's just that in this world, how many loves can be restarted?
Cai Yue didn't continue to leave, took two steps back, distanced herself from Xiao Tian, and then stopped talking.
Xiao Tian obviously didn't know what to say, so he just stood and didn't speak.
The silence is too oppressive. Finally, Xiao Tian spoke.
"Can you play a tune with me?"
"I don't think we're going to be able to play the piece together right now. ”
Cai Yue felt that she was not prevaricating, but telling the truth. How can he and her play the music together? They find it difficult to even say a good word.
It's just that telling the truth often hurts people and hurts themselves. As soon as these words came out, Cai Yue felt a pain in her heart.
"Because there are a lot of people between me and you now, I can't play together, can I?" Xiao Tian looked at her steadily, "Is it because of Wanyun, Zhu'er, or Qiu Yan?"
Cai Yue smiled bitterly, there were really a lot of people between them!
"Why do you bother asking? There have always been many problems between me and you, and now I am afraid there are even more. When Cai Yue said this, she thought of Zhao Ruofei in her heart.
Between her and Xiao Tian, there is now a child who is not related to either party by blood. Although there is no blood relationship, Cai Yue has no doubt that Xiao Tian will definitely treat Zhao Ruofei as his own child and raise him to be painful.
The issue of children is an important headache for any couple, let alone a three-person relationship with such a complicated relationship between them at the moment.
Although she also knew that the child was innocent, but in any case, the child's mother had harmed her sister, and had tried to kill her several times, if it were not for the child's father, she would have died at the hands of the child's mother.
With such a complex emotional background, there may not be any problems when nothing happens, but once something happens, a little subtle idea in it may cause a gap between mother and child, and it is difficult to repair.
There is another problem at the moment, that is, Zhao Ruofei thinks that she is good with other men, which hurts his godfather's heart.
"But I thought that as long as my relationship with you remained, no one else would have a problem. Xiao Tian said as he took a step closer to her.
"But this may be the biggest problem between us, do we really have feelings between us?
Cai Yue's heart was disturbed again, and without waiting for Xiao Tian to get closer, she quickly bypassed Xiao Tian and left the piano room.
The rain was falling all the time, only occasionally heavier and sometimes lighter in between. The people in the villa didn't go out, but they didn't talk to each other much, and the atmosphere was very dull.
Especially at lunchtime, everyone gathered around a table, but there was almost no communication.
Even Zhao Ruofei, who usually talks the most, didn't speak much. He even refused to sit next to Caiyue at first, but he was ordered by Xiao Tian to sit down on the seat next to Caiyue.
This made Caiyue feel that she was a person who stirred up everyone's negative emotions in this family. She imagined in her mind that if she hadn't been at this table, then these four people would have been talking and laughing now.
As soon as such a thought came to her, she felt more and more depressed.
She quickly took a few bites of food and went upstairs, then shut herself in her bedroom and never went out the door again.
First of all, I spent an interesting Saturday with Qiu Yan, so such a Sunday seemed very dull and boring. Cai Yue even prayed that such a weekend would end soon, and she would rather sit in her office and think about her work than hide in her bedroom like she is now, but she dare not and do not want to go out.
The new week is coming, and Caiyue goes to work normally.
There were no major surprises in the first few days, and the work at hand was completed step by step as originally planned. While it was true that some branches had raised questions about the quarterly budget, they were largely resolved by phone and email.
It wasn't until Thursday that, as she expected, the unexpected happened.
She was busy when the office door was suddenly pushed open, and two men walked in one after the other. Without waiting for Caiyue to greet her, the two of them sat down directly on the chair in front of her desk.
With Caiyue's current position, such an act of going straight without knocking on the door is undoubtedly a direct indication of their contempt for her.
Although Caiyue has been dissatisfied and hostile to her since she took office, at least on the surface, no one dares to show too much disrespect to her. After all, her position, as well as her relationship with Qiu Yan, are all there.
Cai Yue looked at the two indifferently and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, the two of you rarely go back to the headquarters together. Is there anything special about me this time?"
Among the two, Mr. Wang has white skin, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looks like a private article, a typical appearance of a successful gold collar. Mr. Li is relatively dark-skinned and much burly, compared to Mr. Wang, he is more like a general in ancient times.
Mr. Wang is very private, and his attitude towards Caiyue is relatively more polite. After listening to Caiyue's questioning, he opened his mouth first.
"Assistant Zhou, Mr. Li because the financial budget of their business department this quarter is 850,000 less than the original plan, it is not that I sued the headquarters for his black state. For this reason, Mr. Li also made the people in his business department deliberately not cooperate with us, resulting in a delay in our delivery to customers. Now, the customer has made a formal claim to us.
For such a long time, the headquarters has been unclear in the division of this business. I believe that the time has come when we must be clear about separation. Otherwise, our work would be very passive. When something like this happens, how do we explain it to the customer? Could it be that it is because of our internal conflicts that this delay has occurred? Isn't that right? Do you want the image of the group?"
Mr. Wang said while spreading his palms from time to time, completely unbearable.
Cai Yue didn't answer and looked at Mr. Li.
Mr. Li snorted heavily.
"Lao Wang, do you dare to say that you have never sued me for the black case? If you didn't sue the black case this time, why did the budget originally given to us be allocated to your business department? The delay in your business is due to your own failure to arrange the work progress, what does it have to do with us? I wish you had to separate this business earlier, so that if you have any delays, you will not be able to rely on me, and I will not have to carry your black pot again. ”
After listening to the words of the two, Cai Yue immediately understood why the two of them, who had never dealt with each other, came to the headquarters from the station at the same time this time.
This Li is always the first batch of veterans of Jury International, and soon after joining the company, he was appointed as the head of a foreign business department because of his outstanding ability. Three years ago, due to the development of business, the group set up a new business department, and the general manager was Mr. Wang.
Because of business connections, although the two business divisions are accounted for independently, they are indeed not completely separated in a certain business.
