【Chapter 19: Giving Up】(3) Determination
Linda was as generous and decent as ever, and when she saw Tang Qingyou coming in, she got up to say hello, and went out with the front desk lady.
With a full stomach full of uneasiness, Tang Qingyou worked hard to learn Linda, and asked Tu Yiran with a faint smile: "Aren't you welcome me?" ”
"It's a bit of a surprise." Tu Yiran glanced at her, "You refused to come over before, saying that I was busy with work, and you were also busy with work." Not busy at work now? ”
"Well, it's not busy." Tang Qingyou replied, "I admit that I failed to toss this trip to the workplace. ”
"It's rare for you to admit defeat." Tu Yiran knocked on the table with his hand, "What's next?" ”
Tang Qingyou's expression was slightly sluggish, and he said quietly: "I want to ask your opinion." ”
Tu Yiran showed an interesting expression, and Tang Qingyou finished interpreting it at a glance: I arranged it for you at the beginning, why weren't you happy?
Sure enough, Tu Yiran didn't answer directly, but continued to ask: "Do you want to come back?" Which section do you want? ”
Which section? Tang Qingyou didn't know what sections Ida had now. If someone else asked her like this, she would probably take it seriously, and she would continue to ask questions about the business sector and seriously discuss various possibilities. But this is Tu Yiran in front of her, and she read the polite meaning of Tu Yiran's words in less than a second.
She never knew that there would be such a conversation between her and Tu Yiran, and she was stunned.
Tu Yiran was pressing step by step: "What, didn't you think about it?" ”
Tang Qingyou took a breath and squeezed out a smile: "It's still the same, the cultural section, how about it?" ”
Tu Yiran chuckled: "But what to do?" Today's Yida Financial Holdings focuses on high-tech investment and does not have a cultural sector business. ”
Tang Qingyou looked at Tu Yiran's detached expression, trying to distinguish the reason, but he couldn't see it clearly.
After being silent for almost a minute, Tang Qing made up his mind for almost a lifetime in a quiet atmosphere, and said, "Since this is the case, it is my own affection." Mr. Tu, although there is no chance to cooperate, there is always a possibility to see you again. Hopefully, the next time we meet, I won't disappoint you. ”
Tu Yiran stretched out his left hand towards her: "Wait and see." ”
Tang Qingyou looked down and couldn't help but have a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. She casually stretched out her left hand and shook it symbolically: "Thank you." Then I'll go back. ”
Having already walked to the door, Tang Qing turned around unwillingly and asked, "So, we can't go back, right?" ”
Tu Yiran's temples on both sides bulged slightly, but he didn't give a word of answer.
Tang Qingyou looked at his eyes, he couldn't read the meaning, he only felt the coldness emanating from his body up and down, and the last bit of temperature in his heart instantly cooled.
She smiled and made a proper final salute: "Goodbye." ”
Tang Qingyou, who had never learned the word "fight" since he was a child, finally gave full play to the quality of a professional, held back tears with a smile, and left Yida Company with his head held high.
Out of the door, the three souls and seven spirits melted little by little under the warm winter sun of California, rose like smoke, drifted in the wind, she lost her soul and took a taxi back to the hotel where she was staying, and in the hotel room where there were finally no outsiders, she took off her disguise, threw away her mask, and threw herself on the big bed and cried.
A person, in a foreign country, came with hope, but encountered a soft knife-like rejection, Tang Qingyou's heart was indescribably dull.
This is a complete breakup, right?
One knife is broken, one is a hundred, and there is no more to do.
She laughed at herself: in the unit, she didn't know how to fight with her colleagues who had their own strengths, so she was blind to be used as a scrap to accompany the prince to study; In the love field, she doesn't know how to fight with the generous and decent Linda, and she is out of the game before she knows that she is still the one who is at a loss......
Thinking of parting, Linda still watched her leave with a smile that had not changed for thousands of years, but she couldn't ask a superfluous word, Tang Qingyou stamped herself with a poke from the heart: she is really a wreck in some way.
Fortunately, she has suffered all the hardships, no matter how sad she is, can she still be as desperate as when she wanted to jump into the lake?
What's more, she and Tu Yiran are the most "doing" of the confused accounts, and they originally had a little guilt in their hearts, but they came thousands of miles to get a cold reception, and in front of Tu Yiran's iceberg attitude, the last guilt in her heart finally melted.
Crying until she was hoarse, she fell asleep and woke up to order a big meal with the hotel front desk.
Cheers to yourself.
Wine and meat passed through the intestines, and she returned to the world soberly. Then, he quickly made a series of determinations to himself, quickly changed the nearest return ticket, and made an appointment to see Fei Dong back to China.
Fei Dong was surprised that she actually called her in the United States: "Why did you go to the United States?" Traveling to Broadway? ”
Tang Qingyou smiled: "It's not that you don't know that I am a leftover material in the North and South Cinemas, how can it be my turn to go on a business trip to inspect Broadway?" ”
Fei Dong also smiled: "Do you still know that you are leftovers?" However, the north and south cinemas are just meat grinders, and the main bones and leftovers are the same. ”
Tang Qingyou did not evaluate his arguments, but only said his decision: "I thought about it, since I spent two years of youth, resources and personal efforts, and I didn't get appreciated, I gave up." ”
"It's long overdue." Fei Dong appreciated.
Tang Qingyou finally opened his mouth and made a request: "Can you help me think of a way out?" ”
"Huayi Cinema Line welcomes you at any time." Fei Dong said, "After our Mr. Zhao met Sister Lan, I heard her mention you a few times, and I appreciate you very much. ”
"I've thought about it, I don't want to be a screw in a big machine anymore." Tang Qingyou's tone was really iron-hearted.
Fei Dong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Entrepreneurship? ”
Tang Qingyou shook his head: "Not necessarily, wait until I go back to discuss." Can you help me think about it first? ”
"Okay!"
……
Tang Qing was planning for her future quickly, what she didn't know was that behind all this, there was someone's expectation.
Tu Yiran didn't send Tang Qingyou out.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at Tang Qing like a wisp of wandering spirit, drifting away, unconsciously spreading out his right palm, revealing a dense new scar. The next second, his left hand covered the scars and shook it hard.
In the palm of his hand, there are traces left by the fight between him and Zhou Zhi.
The scene is still vivid, and in just a few minutes they almost smashed a room full of ornaments. During the scuffle, he stumbled, supported the ground with one palm, and the palm fell on the glass shards on the ground, he stood up on the edge of the table, and gave Zhou Zhi another punch.
Later, the police intervened, and the brawl between him and Zhou Zhi was forced to stop. At that time, both of them were covered in blood.
He told Zhou Zhi that he would never spare him in his life. Zhou Zhi smiled and said that he would wait. However, in fact, the damage had already been done, and he didn't think that revenge would give Tang Qingyou a clear world at all.
He really didn't expect that he just walked away for a while, thinking that letting Tang Qingyou go out for a walk would make her suffer so much.
When he called up the video of Tang Qingyou returning to Dijing Garden barefoot in the middle of the night through remote software, he saw her drinking wine with tears in her eyes in despair...... He heard the sound of his own heart breaking.
High-definition cameras in the living room, study and wine cellar have left her figure. At one point, the camera even captured her face, those eyes that were originally very clear, at that moment were foggy, like two black hole vortices - probably because of her mood, she didn't seem to remember that the public areas of the house were full of high-tech equipment.
He even found her a few days later and returned to the cellar to retrieve the note she had left behind. I was so worried and really curious that he used a newly invested VRAR technology to break down the video function, and parsed the content of the note that was only shot on the back. After calculating the time when she retrieved the note, there was an inexplicable pain in her heart.
In the end, his only feeling was regret, regretting that he had left her to come to Silicon Valley, regretting that he had not opened his mouth to show sincerity to Ms. Tang Ying when he was in Macau, asking her to mediate, and regretting that he had not simply tied her up to the United States......
However, where does life come from? He came to Silicon Valley, he achieved phased success, and his negligence made Tang Qingyou suffer.
He couldn't think of a way to deal with it, he couldn't act like it was nothing, but he couldn't bear to poke her wounds. But if the wound is not treated, it will become an eternal mustard between them.
What he didn't expect was Tang Qingyou's arrival, the moment he received the call, he quickly made a decision, determined to take advantage of the life dilemma that Tang Qingyou was facing in front of him, push her stronger out of the difficulties, and go to a brighter world, so that she could hear her inner voice clearly and strive for her satisfactory life answer.
Time is the only antidote, he thought. When all the old wounds have suppurated and scabbed over and recovered, and when she can do what she wants, they can go on together calmly and without burden.
Linda walked to Tu Yiran's side without knowing what, and suddenly turned her head sideways in the silence and asked, "Aren't you distressed?" ”
"It hurts." Tu Yiran's brows furrowed slightly.
Linda's mind swept over Tang Qingyou's habitual expression, a hint of an almost imperceptible smile floated on her face, and she couldn't help but continue to ask: "Then why do you want to make things worse for her like this?" ”
"She is too eager to be independent, and she lacks the skills to survive in the midst of deception, and when she encounters difficulties, she will only die and do not know how to be flexible, so she has caused the current situation. In the past, everyone said that I was her life coach, but now it seems that I failed to guide her life...... Before, I protected her too well, so I didn't pay attention to her and let her suffer outside. Since the sunk cost is already so big, it is better to push it again and let her really grow. This time, I want to give her back the initiative and let her fly completely and freely. For the first time, Tu Yiran told Linda so much about the delicate balance between himself and Tang Qingyou, and it only stayed at a level that an outsider could understand.
"Well-intentioned." Linda summed up with a smile.
Tu Yiran shook his head: "I'm just the lesser of two evils." ”
"We have lost enough of these projects in Silicon Valley, and we have gone public for all the successful projects, and we have achieved the expected goals of the stage as a whole. Then you can take a little more time to care about Yolanda. How are you going to help her? ”
Tu Yiran still shook his head: "Don't help." ”
Linda was a little surprised: "Why?" ”
"She is resilient to pressure and has withstood numerous failures. But if she has achievements in the future, she finds out that it is because of my help, I am afraid that she will collapse. ”
Linda looked at the empty park in front of the building, and Tang Qingyou's figure could no longer be found in her sight, but her image in her mind became more and more distinct. A professional smile appeared on her face again: "It seems that you have made a lot of determination this time. ”
