The day Mu Hanxia went to resign, it was a cloudy day. Gray clouds, like rolling waves, pressed against the sky. As she walked past her colleagues' offices, she noticed that the atmosphere was just as dark and subtle. Someone was looking at her, someone was exchanging glances.

She looked as if she hadn't seen it, and her face was calm. When I met people on the road, I smiled politely and humbly as before.

until he walked to the door of Meng Gang's office. In terms of resignation procedures, he was left with the last signature.

Meng Gang was sitting on the sofa, smoking and reading documents, and when he saw her come in, he put down his work unchanged.

Mu Hanxia said: "Mr. Meng, this is my resignation application, please sign it." ”

Meng Gang took it, his eyes were calm, he picked up the pen and signed his name on the last page. But he didn't give it back to her right away, but said, "Sit down, let's talk later." ”

Mu Hanxia's mood in the face of him is always complicated. She didn't really want to talk to him more, but there was some inexplicable urge that drove her to sit down. She clasped her hands on her thighs and looked at him calmly.

Meng Gang picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Do you regret it?" ”

"Regrets, but no regrets."

Meng Gang smiled and said, "Mu Hanxia, you have to understand that many goals in life cannot be achieved with hard work alone. You'll need help from others, you'll need duplicity, you'll need to bow your head when you need to, and you'll need to get something. You're smart, the smartest salesperson I've ever met in years. But after all, it's a salesperson. Do you know that when you leave Leya, leave this nest that I have protected you well in the past few years, and go out, you need to put in more effort than others, and you have to compromise more, so that you can achieve the same success as others. ”

Mu Hanxia didn't speak.

Meng Gang took a puff of cigarette, and the smoke slowly drifted to her face, I don't know if he was intentional or unintentional, contemptuous or reluctant.

"You have to be more selfish and more willing to give up on yourself. You're shrewd enough, but not snobbish enough. If you don't change, you will be used in the future, and you will be more likely to be planted. ”

"Mr. Meng." Mu Hanxia said slowly, "If the condition to get ahead in this society is to live beyond recognition and don't know myself, then I would rather continue to be poor, but live like myself." But I don't think it's going to be like this, it's not going to be like this. There must be many more people, just like me. There will definitely be a place where you can live well with talent and hard work. When that day comes, will you envy my life? ”

Meng Gang laughed, laughing at the childishness and indomitable progress between her words.

"Nope." He said, "It's the same everywhere." ”

Mu Hanxia also smiled, picked up the resignation document from the table, got up and walked to the door.

"If ......," he asked suddenly behind her, "in the future, if someone makes the same request to you as I do, the cost is even greater, big enough to achieve you, and enough to destroy you, will you really refuse?" ”

Mu Hanxia was silent for a while and replied, "I will never accept it." ”

——

Mu Hanxia said goodbye to He Jing the next morning.

He Jing also came to her home in the slums, with red eyes, and helped her pack her things.

"That's all you want?" He Jing patted her backpack.

"Hmm." Mu Hanxia replied, "It's not that I don't come back, what are you doing with so many things." ”

He Jing's heart was sour, he thought of another stubble, and said fiercely: "It's all to blame on that Lin Mochen!" It's too yin, it's too ruthless! You still treat him as a friend, and he snatched your lychee in a blink of an eye and sold it for 5 yuan a pound in Yongzheng. Now that Yongzheng has won a big victory, Leya is completely declining. But I think even Meng Gang has nothing to do, and continues to be the head of the store. It's just you, but gone, gone! ”

Mu Hanxia was stunned for a moment, but said: "Actually, in the first few days, I also complained about Lin Mochen in my heart. But then after the calmdown, I felt like nothing was there. He's in his position, what's wrong with that? If I had it, I might have done the same. It's me...... There is no distinction between public and private. Scold...... However, you have nothing to be angry about me, whether this matter of lychee is successful or not, I will leave Leya. Do I still have to face a person like Meng Gang every day? ”

He Jing muttered, "That's the same. Axia, where are you going to go? ”

Mu Hanxia smiled brightly at this time, hugged her shoulders, and said, "Why should I treat myself badly, Meng Gang still gave me a few months more salary, I plan to go out to play first, and then think about the way back." Hey, we haven't taken a decent vacation in the past few years, do you envy me? ”

He Jing, as usual, stretched out her hand and flicked her head, her face was full of sorrow, and she smiled: "Yes, yes, I knew that you wanted to go out to play a long time ago, and you envied me to death." Pay attention to safety on the road, don't be deceived and abducted. ”

"Got it."

After a while, He Jing said again: "Axia, in fact, I support you to go out." You don't deserve to live like this, to live like me. You deserve to be better. ”

——

When the dust settled, Lin Mochen also took a plane to leave Jiangcheng in a foggy morning.

Cheng Weiwei has completely recovered and has taken over the heyday of Yongzheng from him. She went to the airport to see him off.

"Thank you, brother." Cheng Weiwei smiled smartly, "I often go to Beijing, don't you mind if I come to disturb me often, right?" ”

Lin Mochen only pulled a small suitcase, wore sunglasses, and said with a light smile: "How come?" In the future, you will be a big customer of Fengchen, welcome to come often. ”

Cheng Weiwei smiled contentedly. The two of them stood at the security entrance, surrounded by people, and the marble floor was smooth and silent. A thought suddenly popped up in her heart - would Lin Mochen give her a polite hug?

Who knew that he only nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the security channel without hesitation.

Cheng Weiwei watched his figure disappear at the end of his vision, and outside the window, planes were taking off and landing. She thought that the battle of Yongzheng was probably just a random stroke left by a man like Lin Mochen in Jiangcheng. In Beijing, his Fengchen company, his new business blueprint in China, has just begun.

Lin Mochen slept on the plane for a while, and suddenly woke up. He raised his head and looked out of the narrow window, the layers of clouds and the small buildings on the ground like ants, but in his mind, he suddenly remembered Mu Hanxia.

Since that day, the two have not been in touch. I heard that she has resigned from Leya and left Jiangcheng.

It was a gesture of saying goodbye to everything and breaking with him.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth showed a cold smile.

As soon as the plane landed, he took out his mobile phone, held it in his hand for a while, and called up her number.

"Come to Beijing, come to my company, and be a marketing manager."

However, after a long time, until he returned to his home in Beijing, the mobile phone was always quiet, and she did not reply.

Lin Mochen suddenly became a little angry, threw his phone on the sofa, and never looked at it since.

——

A month later.

Lin Mochen's company is located in a splendid office building in Beijing International Trade Center. His company is not big now, and there are not many people, only about two dozen. The office is only rented for more than 200 square meters, but the decoration is very exquisite and luxurious. The face of the company, that's very beautiful.

That afternoon, Lin Mochen was drinking coffee in the office. Many of the company's plans are still in the process of being promoted, but it is not yet time to fully launch them in one fell swoop. So he's still idle.

The secretary knocked on the door and came in, with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Lin, someone came to the company for an interview." ”

Lin Mochen said lightly: "When am I going to recruit people?" ”

The secretary's expression was even more confused: "But Mr. Lin, she said that you asked her to come." ”

Lin Mochen was stunned for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said, "Let her wait in the reception room." ”

Mu Hanxia didn't expect that Lin Mochen asked her to wait, so she waited for three hours. It wasn't until sunset that the glow stained the entire reception room that the beautiful and decent secretary came in again and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Mu, Mr. Lin is really busy, and he was free just now, so please come over now." ”

Although Mu Hanxia was a little irritable when she waited, she also wondered in her heart if Lin Mochen did it on purpose and deliberately snubbed her. But in the end, he endured it and followed the secretary to his office.

Some staff members next to him looked up, and Mu Hanxia's heartbeat actually accelerated a little. In the afterglow of the setting sun, he wears a white shirt and trousers, and his tie is meticulous. Sitting behind the boss's desk, looking down at the papers.

The secretary took the door and withdrew. The room was quiet, and he didn't look up. Mu Hanxia spoke: "Lin Mochen." ”

He put down the papers, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at her.

"Why are you here?" He asked with a smirk.

Mu Hanxia suddenly understood that he was angry, and why was he angry. For some reason, she didn't feel angry or embarrassed about it, but felt a warm peace in her heart, like Twilight next to the two of them. She didn't hold any grudges against the knife he had stuck in her back before. After so long, those things were as far away as the things of the previous life to her. She could understand him as much as she understood herself.

So, she smiled and said without humility or arrogance: "I'm going to be your marketing manager." ”

Lin Mochen looked at her quietly. Her face was darker, obviously from the sun these days. The long black hair was tied up and coiled behind the head, looking neat and clean. She deliberately wore a suit and skirt today, and her thin high heels stepped on the ground, standing very steady, but not relaxed. She looked directly at him with those clear eyes. But in the depths of the dark pupils, there was a faint hint of uncertainty, a little weak cowardice and expectation.

It's like a very thin layer of white paper, which seems to be smooth and stiff. But in fact, when you touch it, it will break.

Lin Mochen replied lightly: "Okay." ”

Later, Lin Mochen always remembered this afternoon. He has seen too many poor people, people who beg him. But for the first time in his life, because of this woman's eyes in an instant, her heart was as soft as sand.
