readx; A middle-aged woman with a noble temperament walks around the living room with a worried face on her face.

"Sit down and rest. That's not like your usual style. The man casually turned off the TV and pointed to the seat next to him. Men have dark skin and average appearance, so they should belong to that rugged type. If it is paired with a thick gold chain, it will feel more like the boss of the underworld.

"How can I calm down." This middle-aged woman must have been an outstanding beauty when she was young, even if she was middle-aged, she was still well maintained, her complexion was fair and pink, but her eyes were no longer as bright as when she was young.

"I believe in our son. Don't worry, he'll take care of it. The man's eyes were extremely distant and resolute. He pulled the woman to sit down and pressed her shoulders in an attempt to ease her down.

"But after all, he is still young and has experienced too few things, in case he ......" The woman is still not at ease, after all, Allure International is the hard work of her husband's life.

"Qingfeng knows the severity, if he can't handle it, he will call us, what do you say?" The man continued to soothe the woman's restless heart. He understands that his son will have to face these things sooner or later, and he should let him go and experience them, no matter whether they succeed or fail, this will be the most valuable wealth in his life. Moreover, since he has handed over the group to his son to take care of, he should trust him.

"I don't understand why you're so calm." The woman glanced at the man and said angrily.

"Or else?" The man asked with a smile.

"Why don't you at least give us a phone call?" The woman still doesn't have a good face.

"Then why don't you fight?" The man still had a smile on his face.

"I ......" the woman was speechless, she was worried that her too much attention would put more pressure on her son.

"Have you forgotten how you fell in love with me back then?" The man threw out such an old question. At that time, Allure International was still a small company, the man was the general manager, the woman was the deputy manager, and then the company almost went bankrupt because of being calculated.

"Not serious. Besides, can that be the same? The woman said this, but her heart was no longer stubborn. The son is not small, and the group has been taking care of it well, if the husband makes a move at this time, the son's prestige will inevitably be affected, so that the son's previous efforts will be in vain, and he should indeed take on his due responsibility.

"What's different? The son we gave birth to, can it be worse? The man asked with a smile, his hand wrapped around the woman's waist.

"Don't be stinky and beautiful, my son's excellence is mainly inherited from me, okay, go to sleep." The woman's face was slightly red, and she shook off the man's arm and walked towards the bedroom.

"I can finally go to sleep." The man chased after the woman, not at all like an old man who had passed the age of sixties.

The pitch-black twilight shows that this is not in Yanjing, not in Huaxia, but in Toronto, Canada.

The woman is Ling Qingfeng's mother Mu Lanyin, and the man is his father Ling Zhilie.

-------------------------

After the meeting, Ling Qingfeng returned to his office.

When he heard the news of the first half of Xu Donglin's report, he was also shocked to sweat. Fortunately, he can concentrate on it, if he is really flustered at that time, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep even half of the people.

Ling Qingfeng took a deep breath, then grabbed the phone, and the string of numbers showed that he was dialing a transoceanic phone.

"Mike, I'm Vane." Ling Qingfeng grabbed the phone and said in authentic American English. Ling Qingfeng's English name is ind, which means wind, and the homonym is Venn.

"Wayne, is it really you?" On the other end of the phone, Mike said excitedly.

"Hmm." Ling Qingfeng was silent for a moment, and his thoughts drifted back to five years ago. It's not that he doesn't want to connect with Mike, but he doesn't want to dwell on the past.

It was many years ago, he, she and Mike co-founded a clothing design company called footmark, which means to fight for their own world step by step, and also has the meaning of continuous innovation and keeping up with the pace of the times.

Later, because of her relationship, Ling Qingfeng returned to China and never set foot in this place again.

"You should know that the midnight bell is scary." Mike joked with a smile, they really hadn't been in touch for a long time, and he knew Ling Qingfeng's knot. Others are in New York, and it's night.

"Come less, I know you won't sleep at this time." Ling Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Or you know me. I was working on a prototype and Footmark was invited to participate in the 21st edition of the French Fashion Design Competition, this time with the theme of love. Mike laughed.

"I really envy you, I wish you success." Ling Qingfeng said from the bottom of his heart.

"Actually, you can do better than me." Mike said wistfully.

"Believe in yourself, that's your mantra." Ling Qingfeng smiled.

"By the way, give me an account number, and I'll transfer the stock to you tomorrow." Mike suddenly remembered this and said.

"Mike, thank you really for your help this time." Ling Qingfeng said gratefully.

"Don't thank me, it's actually ......" Mike suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped.

"Huh?" Ling Qingfeng was puzzled.

"Wayne, maybe you can come to New York to check it out, footmark is more charming now, and more and more people like it." Mike changed his tune.

"Mike, I didn't fulfill my obligations to footmark, and I'll sign a withdrawal agreement after a while, it shouldn't belong to me." Making such a decision, Ling Qingfeng's heart was very uncomfortable. Because it was the starting point of my dreams and love, but now I don't want them at all.

"Vane, actually, ......" Mike hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Mike, don't say any more, you should understand." Ling Qingfeng interrupted the other party, trying to relax himself.

"Okay, let's get back to that, good luck." Mike said no more.

"Thank you, goodbye." After Ling Qingfeng finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone. He looked up at the sky above him, the sun hanging so high that he couldn't open his eyes. He didn't want to hear and didn't dare to hear about her.

"Bye." Mike looked at the beeping phone and shook his head.

Wayne, why didn't you ask me how I knew about Allure International? I'm just a guy who loves to create and write, write, and draw. Perhaps, love is really hurtful, right?

-------------------------

Alyssa is especially happy today, because not only has she heard about Allure International's dismal business, but she will also be dating a young man who may be her boss.

Alyssa dressed up carefully today, her makeup was very light as if it were natural, and her long hair was pulled into a bun, hanging loosely behind her head, which looked soothing. The white sleeveless long skirt made of linen, the pattern on the top is like a blue splashed ink painting, and a thin black decorative belt around the waist is not too colorful, simple and generous. Pointed heels, shallows, stiletto-heeled gold-rimmed sandals accentuate Alyssa's calves with a more shapely and delicate shape. Carrying a small beige leather envelope on her back, the whole outfit is integrated, making Alyssa look taller and more elegant.

Along the way, Alyssa has attracted the attention of many people, and Ye Jianning naturally saw her.

"I'm here." Ye Jianning put away his phone and beckoned to her. He didn't deliberately dress up, he wore a set of casual clothes that he usually likes to wear and went out, he is not a handsome guy, but he is also quite attractive, he should be regarded as a man.

"Jesse?" Alyssa asked with a smile, acting very generously and decently. She could see that the other party had a good cultural accomplishment.

"Please, Lady Alyssa." Ye Jianning said with a smile.

"Thank you." Alyssa found the appreciation in Ye Jianning's eyes, but there was no obscenity in the eyes of other men, and her favor for him suddenly increased a little.

The two held the principle of not wasting it, simply ordered a few dishes, and chatted while eating.

"The food here seems to be doing pretty well." Alyssa took a small sip, she thought it tasted average, but nodded in affirmation.

"I always say I'm not picky about eating, but I'm not very good at it." Ye Jianning laughed half-jokingly.

"I guess those cooks forgot to put salt in it, which makes you feel tasteless, right?" Alyssa had a bit of humor, and the atmosphere immediately improved a lot.

"Master! When anyone laughed at me, I told him that the cook didn't put salt. Ye Jianning gave Alyssa a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"Salt is the soul of the dish, and whoever dares to say that what you say is not right, you will laugh at their soul." Alyssa then joked.

"Looks like you're a master chef?" Ye Jianning asked with a twinkle in his eyes. He thinks that Alyssa is not only beautiful, but also very smart.

"So-so." Alyssa thinks she is good at cooking, but she says modestly.

"By the way, where do you work? You're not going to be a chef, are you? Ye Jianning suddenly cared about Elisa's industry.

"There is a saying, the fat head and big ears are either leaders or chefs, do you think I look like me?" Alyssa giggled.

From a logical point of view, you can't work backwards. But I see what you mean, you don't look like a chef. Ye Jianning carefully examined Alyssa and finally came to a conclusion.

"I'm guessing you're a college professor." Alyssa laughed, pretending not to know the other party's profession.

"You don't seem to be complimenting me, are you?" Ye Jianning asked with a smile.

"Who told you to set a set." Alyssa smiled playfully.

"I will accept your criticism and resolutely correct it." Ye Jianning pretended to be serious, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud first.

Alyssa looked at him and didn't speak, just chuckled. For a moment, she suddenly felt that it would be good to eat and chat with such a man. But does this kind of life belong to you?

"What do you think?" Ye Jianning found that Alyssa was unconscious, so he asked.

"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered that Xiong Er was here." Alyssa chuckled.

"Yuji? Is it Japanese? Ye Jianning asked with a smile.

"Poof...... Alyssa laughed as she covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, it's okay, it's a cartoon character."

……

Ye Jianning felt that they were chatting together very happily, not at all like strangers who met for the first time, and they didn't need to deliberately look for topics. She may be the other half she has been waiting for for many years.

Late at night, a small factory in the suburbs came with a lot of people.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" A man who looked like a contractor urged loudly.
