By the time Qinghuan got He Shijun's contact information and made an appointment to meet him, it was already Tuesday, when she stepped on the soft carpet and pushed open the door of Yueli's president's room, He Shijun was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery of Midtown Manhattan downstairs in a daze.

"Mr. He, I came today because I want to tell you something. Qing Huan stood in the center of the office and said softly.

He Shijun turned around and smiled at her, "I guess I already know what you're trying to tell me." ”

Qing Huan was stunned, looking at him without speaking.

"You must have gotten some word that neither TUMI nor Merlin would allow me to survive, so you're going to do something to flank Yueli, right?"

"You already know?" said Qing Huan in surprise.

"Just yesterday, TUMI and Merlin have begun to move, I received a report from the marketing department, in just a day and a half, our market share has dropped by nearly 30 percent, and many of the good merchants who have cooperated with us are suddenly unwilling to cooperate with us, I believe that tomorrow, the stock price will also fall to a new low. He Shijun smiled bitterly and said, "Although I expected them to take action before, I didn't expect them to act so quickly and so much. ”

Qing Huan was shocked, but he didn't expect that his movements were still a step slower. After a while, she muttered, "And what are you going to do next?"

He Shijun smiled slightly, then turned around and walked to the cupboard, took out two mugs, poured coffee and handed a cup to Qing Huan, his face did not have the slightest sense of anxiety that the company was in danger, but the whole person looked calm, as if he was not affected by any news outside.

"Miss Gu, I should have told you, right? Yueli was founded by my grandfather's generation. He motioned for Qing Huan to sit down, and he sat on the sofa with his coffee," When my grandfather was young, he was just an apprentice in a factory that made bags, he was very diligent and studious, and the bags made by his hands were always beautiful, and strong, and long were taken out as a demonstration, grandpa soon had some fame in the industry, and only founded the brand of Yueli in middle age, since then, he has devoted his life's work and energy to Yueli, the company was handed over to my father, it has grown a lot, my father also inherited his grandfather's legacy, and the company was run well, but when it came to me, He Shijun sighed softly, "I have neither grandfather's talent, nor my father's efforts, I can only barely maintain the company, two years ago, I almost couldn't operate, just when TUMI proposed to acquire Yueli, so I was busy and ready to agree, but I have been negotiating on the price, and it has been delayed until now." If it hadn't been for your words that woke me up that day, I might have planned to shoot Yueli like this. ”

"Mr. He, if you are willing to give in now, there may be room for redemption. Qing Huan couldn't help but interrupt him, feeling a little regretful for his impulsiveness that day.

He Shijun smiled and waved his hand, "Have you ever heard such a sentence? A person does one thing in his life, it is serious and firm, while several generations only do one thing, which is inheritance and faith." How can I give away what my father has passed down to others because of a temporary predicament? Even if the final result is irreversible, I still plan to give it a go, and this life will be in vain. ”

Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why he was so calm, some people often no longer be disturbed by the sounds around them after making up their final minds, and would only follow the route they set firmly. At the same time, she also knew that her trip today no longer had any meaning, so she smiled and said goodbye.

Coming out of Yueli's company, the evening breeze gently caressed her face, she strode forward along the street, her heart has never been so firm, reassuring, when she walked to Times Square, Qing Huan stopped, looked at the prosperous scene in front of her, took a deep breath, came to New York for almost a year and a half, and she didn't seem to have calmed down to appreciate the city.

From the moment I came to this city, I was uneasy and panicked in my heart, afraid that I would be too slow to catch up with the rhythm of this city, afraid that I would be too stupid and this city would not be able to accommodate me. But now it seems that everyone has their own trajectory and route, as long as you set a goal and unswervingly follow your own path. Even if the final result is not what you want, at least you have worked hard, time is not wasted, and you can leave the game calmly.

Then the phone rang suddenly, and it was Frank calling.

"Wendy, have you met with He Shijun, have you convinced him?"

"Frank, do you want to stick to something, even when you don't know it's going to be successful. Qing Huan suddenly asked him.

"Yes. Frank paused in reply.

"The end result?"

"I lost. ”

"But have you lost your courage because of this?"

Frank was silent for a moment before replying, "No, it has inspired me to a certain extent, and if it weren't for these experiences, I probably wouldn't be where I am today." ”

"Then you should know He Shijun's choice. Qing Huan said with a smile.

Frank was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, but finally hung up without saying anything.

In the following month, because of the failure of Yueli's acquisition project, Edward did not assign any more projects to Qinghuan, but she still calmed down and practiced seriously, no longer feeling anxious because she was not assigned important work, nor complaining because of the cumbersome things in her hands, and surprisingly, shortly after returning to school after the internship, she received a full-time acceptance email from the company.

Qing Huan stared at the email for a long time, he had worked hard for such a goal for so long, and today he finally achieved it, but his heart was very calm, far less ecstatic than he had imagined......

Frank hadn't reappeared since that last phone call, as if he had evaporated from the world. Qing Huan didn't care about this, Frank is a very purposeful person, every time he approaches and appears, it is accompanied by some calculations and exploitation, which is really unbearable, and if he doesn't appear now, it means that there is no trouble.

Time flies, after submitting the graduation research project, and then participated in Su Jing's wedding, this time Qinghuan is not as introverted as before, and took the initiative to exchange business cards with many people at the wedding, and there are some domestic bigwigs, she also exchanged WeChat accounts with the assistants around them, when they politely asked about their situation, she replied that she is now working in a Wall Street investment bank, and she will definitely return to China in the future, hoping to visit them then.

In investment banking, networking is very important, and to build a network, you have to be patient enough and thick enough to slowly lay the ground, and if there is a gap, you have to drill, which is what she learned from Frank.

Because she still decided to return to China, in addition to her connections in the United States, she can now run her domestic connections.

Yes, after such a long time and so many things, she finally regained her courage, since she has a dream, she should hug it hard, she fell halfway, just get up and continue to move forward, why do you care how many falls she has?

After another Christmas, the cold wind was blowing in the early morning, Qinghuan stood still for a while under a building made of tempered glass, the wind was blowing, blowing her short hair messily, she gently hooked them behind her ears with her fingers, lowered her head and checked her dress again, and then raised her head and walked towards the company hall firmly.

She, Gu Qinghuan, finally realized her dream when she was thirty years old and entered the top investment bank of her dreams, she lowered her head and smiled slightly, and the voice of the host at the induction ceremony sounded in her ears: "Welcome everyone to join this big family." ”

Then there is the applause and cheers of the newcomers, for their excellence and hard work.

Qing Huan slowly raised her head and watched a ray of sunlight reflecting in from the window, it was very bright and dazzling, and she couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands. A voice suddenly sounded in my head: this is not the end, just another new beginning.

Three years later

The traffic in S City in the morning was congested as always, a black sedan was stopping and stopping on the road, and the handsome and clear-eyed man was frowning slightly, looking at the news that popped up on the lap computer: "Qida Capital spends millions to give back to the society, and the reason behind it is touching".

The article describes the affectionate intention behind the charity of the Qida Fund hosted by Chen Yidong - because his fiancée Tranquility has been committed to charity, and Tranquility's birthday is approaching, Chen Yidong's move is to give his fiancée an unforgettable birthday gift, which shows how attentive he is to this relationship, some time ago, the media speculated that the two have been engaged for almost five years and still have not held a wedding, because the rumors that the two have broken up are self-defeating.

Closing the computer, Chen Yidong rubbed his swollen temples, and the corners of his lips hooked up with a sarcastic smile, in order not to let himself and Tranquility's relationship collapse, his mother really took a lot of effort, and the company's charity act can also be used to make such a big fuss.

"Mr. Chen, due to the delay of the plane of Shen Sheng's newly promoted partner, the meeting has been postponed to tomorrow morning, do you see that there is a problem on your side?" the secretary sitting in the front row turned his head and said.

"No problem. Chen Yidong closed his eyes and spoke lightly.

The plane drove smoothly among the clouds, and the muffled sound of the engine seemed far and near. Qing Huan yawned, woke up, and took off the blindfold. The first-class stewardess came over and bowed down with a smile: "Ma'am, what do you want to drink?"

"Coffee, no milk and no sugar, thank you!"

"Okay. ”

After a while, the coffee was delivered, Qing Huan was holding the cup, his eyes were still a little astringent, but his body had already reflexively made corresponding movements, took out the computer, opened the web page and began to browse the email.

Just watched for a while, a news window popped up, it was a gossip about Qida Capital's recent charity, Qing Huan blinked, slowly sipped coffee, clicked on the webpage and read it carefully.
