Chapter 54: Waiting and Separation, in order to be better together
"Negotiations?" Bai Tian couldn't help but laugh.
"What treaty do you need me to sign? As long as you promise to marry me, I am willing to sell myself for glory. "Daylight's unprincipled, bottomless, and unconditional, and he who used to be shy and reserved are completely like two people.
"Oh no, yes, daylight, I have to tell you something!" Ning Qian looked confused, even panicked.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, tell me, little pitiful, you should tell me everything." He gently stroked her hand, his eyes full of pity.
"I find it as if I betrayed you." Ning Qian looked ashamed.
Was she talking about the Marcus? Daylight didn't know how to answer this.
Treachery? To what extent? But to what extent does it matter?
"I haven't been by your side for so many years, you're so cute, it's normal to meet people who like you." Bai Tian found that she had been holding Ning Qian's hand for so long, she had not resisted, and all the ideas she put forward were so practical, concrete, and executable, indicating that her heart was completely on me, what else did I have to worry about?
"I mean, I like you more than you used to be." Ning Qian smiled mischievously.
"Haha, you're a little naughty, you're very good at acting!" Daylight has always felt that she is a little elf, even if she doesn't speak, just the flickering of her eyes, you will feel that she must have some strange ideas coming out, which will make people involuntarily and comprehendingly feel funny and funny.
"What did you just say? Like me now? "The eyes of the day are brighter.
"Come on, Xiao Ning, for the Chinese exam, please repeat the central idea just now."
"Why do I say it first?" She pouted unconvinced.
"Okay, man, dare to say and do! Dare to say - Ning Qian, I love you! Dare to do – Ning Qian, I want to marry you! Dare to be – Ning Qian, I want to be your husband! ”
"Okay, deal!" Ning Qian pulled her hand out of his hand and stretched it out again. The two hands finally clasped tightly together.
"I'll start arranging the schedule now, you tell me the time you can arrange to go back to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and I'll also look at my time, and we'll meet the parents according to your requirements in the next step." I am sure that our parents will support us. Then, we got the license. How to do the wedding, you make a request, I will carry it out. ”
"I just want to take a set of wedding photos. I want to wear a wedding dress! Anything else, weddings, whatever, you don't need it. Ning Qian looked at the day.
"You are my wife, I must tell the world that the media is marrying, and the wedding still has to be had. You don't have to worry about anything, you just need to be there when the time comes, and I'll take care of everything. ”
It was a very efficient negotiation, with all the action plans in place and the two of them working together to implement them.
Any meal outside of work, only pay attention to Ning Qian, this meal, in fact, what she ate, whether she ate or not, she doesn't remember, she only knows that today, for her life, is a big day - she can finally get married! Ning Qian silently thanked the big boy who saved her self-esteem in her heart, but she didn't relax at all:
"Now it's just that the conditions have been negotiated, and whether we can get married or not depends on the opinions of our parents. Your mother, my parents, are parents who love their children with all their hearts, and we should respect and take care of their feelings. They want us to be happy, they will check for us, and only with their approval can we truly enter a very realistic marriage, assume responsibility for each other's families, and enjoy double love and warmth. ”
Bai Tian knew very well in his heart that his marriage, only if the other party was willing to integrate into his original family to a high degree, would he feel at ease. His mother is extremely confident in her ability to see people, and how many times has she told him: "Your colleague Xiao Ning, I like it at a glance, he must be a kind, simple, reasonable, and relationship child." "Mother's life experience has made her more wary of people and more realistic to think about problems, and there are not many people who can enter her eyes, and she is full of confidence in Ning Qian seeing his mother.
The two of them, who didn't know what they had eaten, began to walk back. Bai Tian insisted on sending Ning Qian back to her apartment first, and then he went back to the hotel.
This is the first time he has come to the apartment where Ning Qian lives, it is simple, warm and organized. Ning Qian said: "I still have a very important thing to do. She turned on the stereo, and a familiar melody sounded in the room:
Missing is a very mysterious thing, and it follows you like a shadow
Silent and breathless, haunting the bottom of my heart
In the blink of an eye, engulf me in the silence
I couldn't resist, especially at night
I miss you to the point where I can't breathe
…………
"During the day, I want to make a special trip to cry."
"This song has been with me for many, many years, when I miss you, I listen to it again and again, I don't know how many tears I shed......"
I can't go straight to you
Tell you out loud
Willing for you, I'm willing for you
I'm willing to forget my name for you
Even if it stays in your arms for one more second
It's not a pity to lose the world
Daylight held her tightly in his arms:
"You know what? For so many years, when I miss you, I also listen to this song, and when I listen to this song, I also think about you......"
I'm willing for you, I'm willing for you
I am willing to be banished to Skyrim for you
As long as you truly respond with love
Willing to do anything, willing to do anything for you
Bai Tian lowered his head, tears dripped on Ning Qian's closed eyes, and the tears of the two people converged and slowly slid down Ning Qian's smooth cheeks.
"I thought I was going to cry so much, why didn't it last as long? Why do I just want to laugh now and not cry at all? When Ning Qian asked Bai Tian these questions, she looked very stupid.
Daylight's warm palm gently supported Ning Qian's face: "That's because you have me." In the most difficult days, I thought, I must climb out, only if I am strong first, can you see hope! "- Daylight, I thought so at the time.
"I have never stopped paying attention to you, as long as I think about the you I love, who has always been so tenacious, positive, and hardworking, I have no reason to give up on myself. Now, I can prove that I have the ability to love you, Ning Qian, no matter how many possibilities and colors there are in life in the future, we will face it together, experience it, and appreciate it. ”
On the way back to the hotel, I realized that although the weather was very cold, the moonlight was particularly bright. How many nights, he looked at the moon, blamed himself, missed, and imagined what his beloved girl was doing under the moonlight at this moment, boundless distress and loneliness. But at this moment, the girl had obediently penetrated into his heart, filling his heart and feeling warm.
Early the next morning, Bai Tian was about to leave for the airport, and Bai Tian said that he would take his luggage to Ning Qian's apartment to find her and say goodbye to her, but he didn't expect that he had just come down to the lobby, and she was already standing there.
Bai Tian took her head into his arms, pressed it tightly to his chest, and gently pressed his chin against the top of her head: "My girlfriend, on such a cold day, you came over alone, how distressed I am!" ”
Ning Qian lay quietly on his chest, and he could hardly tell whether it was his heartbeat, his own heartbeat, or the duet where the heartbeats of the two people had merged together.
"My boyfriend, why am I so reluctant to give you up......" She closed her eyes and hugged his waist tightly. She is so well-behaved and so attached that he can't wait to carry her in his heart, carry her with him, and follow her like a shadow.
Ning Qian still had to rush back to the company for a meeting, she couldn't go to the airport to send Bai Day, and Bai Tian didn't plan to delay her work, when the two of them were saying goodbye at the door of the hotel, they found that their thoughts about each other had exploded after so many years of backlogging, and it was so strong that it was dizzying. However, with the timetable discussed together last night, and a clear plan for the common future, waiting and parting are just to get together better.
To face the separation, there is also Gupta. Since Edward, Justin and Aimee were successively transferred out of Guangzhou, Gupta also received a notice from the headquarters: due to the adjustment of the organizational structure, all according to the functional line management, Youjia China will no longer be outside Shanghai in the future, set up the position of general manager of the joint venture company, Gupta will leave China three months later, was transferred back to India, his original position in India has long been gone, can only go back to work first, and his income has shrunk greatly.
When Gupta came out of India, he really just wanted to try it and see the outside world, he never thought that being sent to other countries could have such good benefits: tuition fees for children attending top international schools, luxury houses, top luxury cars with drivers, nanny fees, annual family travel expenses, family visit expenses, etc., all borne by the company, in addition to high subsidies. The quality of life has suddenly been raised to the top international level.
Accustomed to such a configuration, suddenly the standard of living will drop sharply, how to talk to his wife and daughter! In particular, the two daughters are now in high school in the best international schools in Hong Kong, and they are both determined to go to the United States to study at university, and now that they are at a critical time, how can they accept to go back to India to study in their own secondary school?
Gupta was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night since he got this notice, he didn't dare and didn't want to tell his family, especially on the weekend, when his two daughters came back and talked to their parents about the excitement of school and their eager desire to go to college in the United States, his wife was so satisfied that he couldn't bear to drag them from the happiness in front of him to the cruel reality.
Gupta, who was worried, was in Lipton's office when he suddenly saw Aimee who was here on a business trip, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. He beckoned, and Aimee quickly followed him to his office.
"Aimee, isn't there always a headhunter looking for you and asking you to change jobs? Can you give my situation to the headhunters and ask them to help me find a job? ”
Aimee thought she had misheard and confirmed: "You said to help you find a job?" Don't you want to be in Youjia anymore? ”
"Of course I want to stay in Youjia, but if I go back to India, my salary package will be very different from that of an expatriate, and I won't be able to afford the tuition fees for my daughters to study in Hong Kong now and in the United States in the future. So, my requirement for my new job is to stay in China and the salary is the same as now. ”
Aimee did know several headhunters who had been chasing her for sale, and she readily agreed: "Mr. Gupta, then you can give me your resume, and I will follow up on this matter." ”
Early the next morning, Gupta gave her a printed resume. Aimee was stunned:
Twenty-seven sheets of A4 paper documenting Gupta's twenty-seven years at Youjia.
After graduating from university, he joined India as an MT company, which is the largest local consumer goods company and multinational company, and he never thought of changing jobs, so this is his first official resume in his life. He didn't even know that headhunters simply wouldn't have the patience to read his page for a year. Aimee didn't dare to take a closer look, flipping through this thick resume, tears almost burst out of her eyes.
Why is it that a person who has always been outstanding and has always been excellent has been working hard in the workplace for 27 years, and the general manager is forced to look for a job again in his early fifties when his family is spending a lot of money? Why is it that you can suddenly lift people to the top of the world, make people feel like they are top elites, and enjoy top quality of life, and then suddenly throw people to the ground, making people fall into extreme disillusionment and disappointment?
For the first time, Aimee had doubts about the life she had always longed for: my idol is Gupta, and if one day, I can become the general manager of a subsidiary of a multinational company, and have the opportunity to be sent to work in other countries, I will definitely feel that I have reached the peak of my life. However, today's 27 pages make people see that when you climb to the top, you are actually facing a cliff, and you want to go back the way you came, and find that the road no longer exists, and the only choice you can choose is to jump down, the difference is only to jump 30 meters, 50 meters, or 100 meters of cliff.
Aimee rearranged the 27-page resume according to what she thought was the requirements of headhunters and sent it to headhunters who had been in contact with her. Their feedback is: the position of general manager is hard to find, especially for candidates who have passed 50, such opportunities are very rare, and they can only depend on luck, and they want to implement it within two or three months, but they are really not sure.
Aimee thought about it and had a deep chat with Gupta before leaving Guangzhou. She encouraged Mr. Gupta went to Bruno to get another hand, after all, in the past few years, Lipton's performance in his hands has been rising, and his performance is excellent in any company. If the goal is just not to return to India and continue to expatriate, then the opportunity can be found in all the companies of Youjia Global, with Bruno's ability, it must be possible to find such an opportunity for Gupta, the key depends on whether Gupta himself does his best for this goal.
Gupta listened to Aimee's words and felt that it made sense: I did get this notice, and I was full of disappointment, and the only way to do it was to quickly find an opportunity to stay in China from the outside.
