() Three years later.

In a building in country A, a young woman stepped on a pair of ball limited edition stiletto heels, wearing a professional outfit, with just the right makeup on her delicate face, and a long maroon wavy roll casually behind her, which added a touch of charm to her, but this trace of sexy and charming has been completely covered up by the domineering of her body in the workplace.

Lin Manrong stood on the electronic screen, still holding a laser pointer in his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Before this week, the R&D department reported to me the investigation why this game has been on the market for three months, and the customer usage is getting lower and lower. ”

"And those important points just mentioned, pay attention to them these days."

"If there are no other problems, then that's it, adjourn."

Only then did the people in the conference room get up and walk outside, discussing the contents of the meeting just now, intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that all the people in the conference room were gone, Lin Manrong sat on the office chair next to him, his whole body fell back, his eyes squinted slightly, and he looked very tired.

"You're getting better and better now."

After a short rest, I remembered a sound in my ears, accompanied by the sound of cups colliding with the table.

Lin Manrong opened his eyes, only to see Shi Yao leaning against the table, and there was an extra cup of coffee on the table.

"Drink." Shi Yao pushed the coffee down in front of Lin Manrong and said lightly.

Lin Manrong took a sip of the coffee on the table, and did not respond to Shi Yao's words just now.

"When you first came to this company, those leaders thought that you were just a little girl in her twenties, and they were not convinced by you at all, but now, you have established your prestige in this company, and it is really not a loss to the talent I selected."

Shi Yao walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window on the side, his tone of voice seemed careless, although the words were all praise for Lin Manrong, but it gave people the feeling that there was no over-exaggeration in it.

Lin Manrong tugged at the corners of his mouth and stared at the coffee in his hand.

Shi Yao was right, he signed a contract with Shi Yao at that time, and said okay, complete the things that should be done, and naturally go and stay by yourself.

It's just that Lin Manrong overestimates herself too much, even if she is the hacker genius in the eyes of others, only she understands that no matter how powerful a person is, there will be times when she encounters her own bottleneck, and there will be things that she feels that she can't overcome.

It took Lin Manrong two years to complete the things in the company, and in the third year, Lin Manrong did not choose to leave, but chose to stay.

At the beginning, in order to prevent Ji Citing from finding her easily again, Lin Manrong even changed his identity and name.

It's not that she didn't think about leaving when things were done, but at that time, she thought carefully about where she should go even if she left.

Is it back in City C?

She wasn't ready for that yet.

So Lin Manrong chose to continue to stay in country A, focusing on work every day, in order to get rid of his past self, Lin Manrong even changed his previous dressing style and hairstyle, except that face is the same as before, these external outfits are like a different person.

But even so, Lin Manrong can't help but think of her days in City C every night, think of Ji Citing, and even occasionally fantasize about what her child who has never met once will look like.

Lin Manrong originally thought that she would always live like this

Go down.

Until last week......

Ji Citing, who has not appeared in front of the media for a long, long time, suddenly appeared in front of the public, but the news came that he was getting engaged, and his fiancée was Yi Anqi.

When you know this news, if you want to say that you are not sad, it must be false.

Whoever Ji Citing wants to engage with, that is his right, and she has no right to interfere, but when she thinks of her and Ji Citing's child, Lin Manrong still can't let go after all.

Yi Anqi's appearance on the surface looks like a pure and harmless national goddess, but what is behind it, Lin Manrong knows very well.

As the saying goes, only a woman knows which woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Yi Anqi was able to admit in front of herself that she sent someone to do what she did on the yacht, which means that there is nothing she can't do, let alone expect that her child will appear in front of her and there will be nothing at all.

Lin Manrong stared at the coffee in his hand for a long time, so much so that Shi Yao shouted Lin Manrong several times in a row without any reaction.

"Xiaoman, what are you thinking?" Shi Yao couldn't help but raise his voice by several decibels.

Lin Manrong came to his senses at this time, his hand shook, and some of the coffee in the coffee cup spilled out, directly on Lin Manrong's clothes.

Lin Manrong put the coffee cup in his hand on the table, quickly pulled out a piece of paper from the table, and wiped the clothes on his body.

Shi Yao stared at Lin Manrong's series of wrong behaviors, pulled off the chair on the side and sat down, "You look a little wrong." ”

The movements of Lin Manrong's hand suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly opened his mouth, "I want to go back to City C." ”

Hearing Lin Manrong spit out such a sentence from his mouth, Shi Yao was not surprised at all, a few days ago, when he saw the news of Ji Resignation on the Internet, Shi Yao had already guessed that Lin Manrong would definitely want to go back.

"Have you figured it out?" Shi Yao stared at Lin Manrong's face, and continued slowly: "I know, your feelings for Ji Citing, otherwise, according to your strength, you don't need to work so hard at work." ”

"It's just that in a few months, Ji Citing will be engaged to another woman, are you sure you want to go back at this time?"

Lin Manrong's throat rolled, of course she understood what Shi Yao meant.

Just in time to go back when Ji Citing was about to get engaged, maybe those people would think that she did it on purpose, which, of course, also includes Ji Citing, and when the time comes, gossip will definitely be essential.

After a long time, Lin Manrong finally stood up from the office chair, "I'm sure, it's just that I'm going back, not because of Ji Citing, but for the child I don't have yet." ”

"I want to see what he's doing." Lin Manrong paused, and when he said this, he felt guilty in his heart, "Moreover, I will not appear as Lin Manrong, the past Lin Manrong is gone." ”

"In the past three years, what is my identity, then after I return to China, what is my identity."

Lin Manrong casually propped up one hand on the table in front of him, and his tone was light, which was different from the expression and aura of the person who was holding a meeting for everyone just now.

In the past three years, people up and down the company have called her Mr. Ye, and in the eyes of the company, she is Ye Chu, the adopted daughter of Shi Yao's uncle who has no children so far.

If it weren't for the time to return

Occasionally called her previous name, Lin Manrong almost forgot about it.

Shi Yao sighed softly, leaned back in his chair, and seeing Lin Manrong's current appearance, Shi Yao also knew that Lin Manrong must have made up his mind.

"Okay, since you have already thought about it, then I can only respect you, but I still advise you, just stop in moderation, after all, Ji Citing is not a person to mess with."

"Well, I know that since she is already engaged to another woman, then I will go back, naturally it will not be because of him."

Shi Yao took out a hotel membership card from his pocket and put it on the table, "This is the membership card of the EA hotel, as far as I know, Ji Citing will come to country A the day after tomorrow to discuss cooperation, and the location of cooperation and the place of residence are all in this hotel." ”

Lin Manrong was stunned for a moment, and took the membership card on the table, she didn't expect that Shi Yao had even found out Ji Citing's whereabouts.

"Thank you." Lin Manrong said sincerely.

Although he helped himself at the beginning, he just saw that she had value to use, just to achieve his own goals.

But later, Lin Manrong couldn't deny that if it weren't for Shi Yao's own interests and purposes, she wouldn't have been able to accomplish many things alone.

Shi Yao chuckled, "Anyway, we have been together for so many years, although you are only my uncle's nominal adopted daughter, but speaking of which, you can be regarded as my sister, so you don't need to be so polite." ”

"What's more......" Shi Yao crossed his fingers together, paused, and continued: "Fortunately, you were also dealing with those things in the company at that time, otherwise, no matter how strong the company's original strength was, it would not be able to withstand such destruction and tossing." ”

The corners of Lin Manrong's lips rose slightly, and he put away the membership card that Shi Yao had just given.

Day 3, the most famous EA hotel in country A.

Lin Manrong deliberately put on a heavy makeup, the long maroon waves were casually put on his shoulders, and a bright red dress set off Lin Manrong's skin even fairer.

Before he went out, Lin Manrong had already repeated it many times in the mirror, and determined that the current appearance was really very different from the previous Lin Manrong.

If she hadn't gone through those things, she wouldn't have become what she is now.

Lin Manrong tried to make himself not think so much, and walked towards the hotel with high heels.

According to Shi Yao's whereabouts, this morning, Ji Citing will negotiate with an important partner on the open-air balcony on the third floor of the hotel.

Among these collaborators negotiated by Ji Citing, Lin Manrong's current company is also one of them, which Shi Yao told her later.

Although before this, Lin Manrong already knew that when he came to this place, he would definitely meet Ji Citing, but at this time, Lin Manrong couldn't help but get nervous.

Lin Manrong chose a position in the right rear of Ji Citing and sat down, waiting nervously for a while.

It's been three years, and I don't know what the current Ji Citing Court will look like.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, a man in a black suit passed by Lin Manrong, with a little mint fragrance on his body.

Lin Manrong was stunned for a moment, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, and reflexively raised his head, just in time to see a familiar face appear in his eyeballs.
