When I came out of Qiu Jieqin's house, my heart was like a mess, as if I had a thousand emotions and ten thousand thoughts. It's really cut constantly, and it's messy. When I came, I had already made up my mind to part with her. But in the end, not only did it not divide, but it strengthened Qiu Jieqin's unswerving determination to die.

Before I left, Qiu Jieqin told me very clearly: "Qian, I know that you don't have me in your heart now, it doesn't matter, I'm not the same person I was eight years ago." Eight years ago, if you didn't love me, I would have felt extremely aggrieved and painful, as well as angry and humiliated, so I lost eight years in vain. But now I know that without you, it is even more painful to miss you. So I will never give up on you, I will always be by your side, I believe that sincerity, gold and stone are open, you will accept me one day. For this day, I don't hesitate to hold on for another eight years, two eight years, or ten eight years, as long as I can live that long. ”

To be honest, my heart was very touched when I heard this. Qiu Jieqin is not easy! I used to only know that she loved me, but that's about it. Now I understand that her kind of love has become the whole of Qiu Jieqin's life, without me, she will lose the motivation to live, and her life will become meaningless.

But my headache was that I knew in my heart that I would never fall in love with her. I was very sympathetic and touched by her, but it was not love. I didn't know how to tell her what I was feeling, and when I heard her say so resolutely that she wouldn't leave me, it seemed like I couldn't say it or not.

I was already depressed, but now I'm even more depressed. I smoked a cigarette and walked home slowly, and then I thought of how much I loved Xu Shu, but I couldn't get any response from her, and I felt so uncomfortable that I felt like something empty. Even if Xu Shu explicitly refuses me, it is much more comfortable than pretending to be deaf and dumb and ignoring me.

I had just passed the door of a music bar when I heard a melodic piano tune from inside. This piano piece is based on a popular song by Xu Shu, and I have always liked it. Now that I heard it suddenly, I couldn't help but stop and listen.

I don't know if it was because of the pianist's excellent playing skills that moved me, or if the mood of the song just matched my mood at the time. After listening for a while, I couldn't help but push the door open and go in and see someone playing the piano. It was a very young man, very handsome, with slender fingers, and he was dressed plainly and cleanly. I went to a quiet corner to sit and listen, and when the bartender arrived, I asked for a beer.

When you are in a depressed mood, finding a quiet place, alone, a bottle of wine, a cigarette, and beautiful music is really a good way to relax. This is not the same as Gu Ruoyan's simple drunkenness.

I took small sips of beer slowly, inhaled a deep cigarette, and with the sound of music, I thought of a lot of things in my head......

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly a woman's voice came to my ear: "Excuse me, is there anyone sitting here?" ”

I looked up and saw a tall and beautiful woman standing beside me. I immediately recognized her, quickly got up from my seat, and greeted, "Manager Fan!" ”

This girl is Fan Yunting, the deputy manager in charge of the planning department of Mrs. Green Company.

Fan Yunting held a turquoise cocktail with a clove of orange and a straw stuck in the glass. Her beautiful face was slightly overjoyed, and she seemed happy to have met me in this place. When she saw me get up to greet her, she smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Alone? ”

I said, "Yes, oh, Manager Fan, please take a seat, please take a seat!" ”

Fan Yunting was not polite, she sat down opposite me and put the cocktail on the table. She smiled: "It's better to call me Fan Yunting, you are no longer an employee of the company, so you don't need to call me my position." ”

I also sat back and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it!" Manager Fan is also a person? ”

Fan Yunting said: "No, I am with a few friends. She pointed in the direction with her hand and said, "They are there, and I happened to see you, so I came over to say hello." ”

I let out an "oh" and didn't look closely at the place, thinking that this kind of greeting and greeting were two people who were extremely unfamiliar, or she would be gone in a few seconds. Unexpectedly, after Fan Yunting sat down, she didn't want to leave at all. She stretched out a hand, pinched the straw and slowly stirred the wine in the glass, looking at me with a smile. I was a little distracted by her, and I was about to ask her what was the matter? She spoke first: "Tang Qian, after resigning from the company, what are you doing now?" ”

My old face flushed, even though my current job was nothing unpleasant. But compared to the past, of course, it can't be compared. Thinking of my rhetoric when I resigned and the current downfall, I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak.

Fan Yunting is such a shrewd and powerful person, she only looked at my embarrassed expression, and she probably knew it. She never mentioned it again, and changed the subject: "This music bar has a nice environment and a very musical atmosphere. I've always liked it, and I've come often, but I never seem to have met you before, I didn't expect you to be quite Yaxing, where were you chic? ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Chic? Manager Fan, don't be kidding. I also happened to pass by here today, and I was attracted by the music played by the piano player just now, so I sat here for a drink, and I didn't dare to come to the bar casually to consume it before. ”

At this moment, the pianist in the bar has withdrawn and replaced himself with a guitarist, who is performing the guitar solo "Dedicated to Alice", and the level is also very good. Although I don't understand, I still think he plays very well.

Fan Yunting said that the people who play musical instruments here are like a few treasures, she said: "Oh, that pianist is called Xiao Jiang, a native of Northeast China, I heard that his family is not rich, so he came out to work while studying here." He was very clever and talented, and the scores that were originally songs could be transformed into beautiful piano pieces in his hands. This is his specialty and the main reason why the owner of this bar hired him. ”

As I heard her speak, I felt that she was so familiar with the bar that she couldn't describe it as a regular customer. I took a sip of wine and said, "Looks like you're really familiar with this place!" ”

Fan Yunting smiled faintly and said, "Yes! Because the owner here is a very good friend of mine. ”

Actually, I don't pay attention to this, I see that Fan Yunting will talk to me as soon as she sits down, obviously she has some reason to let her pick me up. I thought about it, I am almost unfamiliar with this Manager Fan, what will she do to me?

Fan Yunting talked to me a few more words, and sure enough, she got to the point, saying: "Today is a coincidence, I wanted to find you and talk to you two days ago, but I couldn't spare time." It's rare to meet today, I invited you to spend tonight. But hopefully you'll answer me a few questions, okay? ”

I don't know what questions Fan Yunting will have to ask me, and I don't know her well, so I can't judge her intentions. He said without humility or arrogance: "Manager Fan, please feel free to ask if you have any questions, as long as I can answer, I will tell you." However, I can still afford the price of a bottle of beer, and I dare not let Manager Fan break the bank. ”

Fan Yunting smiled "sneering" and said, "I have heard others talk about you in the company. Looks like they're right! ”

I took out another cigarette and lit it with the lighter I had just bought. I know people will say something about me behind my back, and I don't really care about it. I'm just curious, what do you have to ask me, the senior executive of the company in front of me, the actual head of the planning department, and the legendary female surname in the industry?

At this moment, Fan Yunting was very close to me, and with the help of the lights in the bar, I took a closer look at her for the first time. Fan Yunting is the kind of standard white-collar beauty, the light makeup on her face is just right, the clothes are always dressed so well, and there is always a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Judging by her appearance, I think she should be around twenty-five. It's not old, it's not small. A female surname of this age can climb to such a high position just by virtue of her own ability like her, and she can stand alone and have proud results. It's really rare. I have no doubt about her ability, if it weren't for Hua Jingjing's father who is the chairman of the group, then the position of head of the planning department would be her.

I looked at her so bluntly, and Fan Yunting didn't feel anything wrong. She raised her wine glass and took a sip, and then finally said: "A few days ago, I went to the company's R&D department to ask for information in order to make a business plan. With the consent of Mr. Qi, I flipped through several written records and data records of the whole process of beverage research and development, and inadvertently turned to the file of the product you developed four years ago. I took a closer look, and although I didn't know how to develop a product, I understood the value of the product. At first glance, I thought that as long as you continued to research, the drink you developed would definitely cause a sensation in the market and become the treasure of the Green Lady Company. It is not known whether it will lead to a new trend in the taste of beverages back then. How can such a valuable R&D project stop because you don't do it? It's a pity, it's been four years, how much money has the company made because of this? ”

When I heard Fan Yunting say this, I couldn't help but think of the energetic and energetic situation when I first joined the company four years ago. and countless days and nights of forgetting sleep and food for this project.

It's really nostalgic! There was a burst of passion in my heart, I was at that time, and I am now, I am really two completely different people!

I took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled it, and said, "This Yejian fragrant tea drink is very difficult to develop. First, its raw materials are difficult to find, and it is generally only produced in the deep mountains of Yunwu Mountain in Province F, and only local people can find it, and the quantity is very small. It is not easy to produce and sell on a large scale. Second, this kind of tea called Ye Jian Xiang is processed and dried, and the tea brewed with boiling water is fragrant and fragrant, which lasts for a long time, and is really a must-have in tea. However, how to maintain the original flavor and fragrance after making a drink is really a technical difficulty. I spent a lot of time here and couldn't solve it, but then I was transferred, and the company probably decided that there was no future in producing this drink, so it put it on the shelf. ”

Fan Yunting was silent for a while, and said, "If you have sufficient funds and equipment, do you have the confidence to successfully develop this tea drink?" ”

I smiled a little and said, "Of course I have faith, but isn't it the same as not saying it?" Where do I have those things? ”

Fan Yunting's face was very resolute, and she said, "You will have it!" I am very optimistic about this project, and I think its value is immeasurable. At the same time, I am also very optimistic about you, I have read your research transcript in detail, saying that you are a genius, and I am afraid that you will be ruined. But the perspective of your research is refreshing to me, I have seen a lot of all kinds of tea drinks, and everyone is nothing more than changing the soup without changing the medicine. As long as the same production process is replaced with different raw materials, different products will be produced, and there is no novelty at all. You're different, and while I'm not tech-savvy, my instincts tell me. This could be a bold breakthrough, a great innovation. Tang Qian! I will not and will not miss this opportunity. Let's do it together, I'm sure we'll make a splash in the beverage world. ”

Hearing her say this, my heart faintly felt like I had met a soulmate. But I still sighed and said, "It's useless, you know, I've already resigned, and it's impossible to go back." ”

Fan Yunting smiled and said, "No! You're wrong! I didn't mention the company, but said let's do it together, you and me! ”
