On Monday, I received a notice of a meeting at the head office.

I've been paying attention to Andrei's defense for the past few days, and as for the rest, I really don't care too much.

Especially my work, I really don't care about it, I want to meet Roman in the future, I don't even know how to deal with him. I haven't had a chance to communicate with Sergei about this yet.

In the conference room of the head office, the managers of various departments were all present.

At ten o'clock, Daniel and a middle-aged man in his forties walked into the conference room.

At the meeting, the middle-aged man announced the decision of the board of directors: Sergey resigned from the post of general director, and he took over as general director of the customs clearance company. Daniel is appointed Deputy General Manager of our company.

As soon as the news was announced, everyone was shocked and talked about it one after another.

I looked at Daniel, who was really full of ambition today, dressed in a neat designer suit, with his pointed chin tilted, sitting next to the general manager, looking at his colleagues with arrogant eyes.

Everyone dispersed, and I was the only one sitting in the conference room.

Everything is clear!

I finally understood why Sergei had asked me to go back to rest that day, and why he was so sure that he had rescued Andrei.

This Roman, this time he got everything he had been thinking about so easily, all because of me!

I really shouldn't have answered that damn call from Daniel, and André wouldn't have warned Roman if he hadn't heard our conversation!

Sergey didn't need to make such a choice in order to rescue Andrei!

It was I who gave Roman the opportunity to blackmail Sergei. I let Roman see Sergei's weakness.

Sergei asked Roman to drop the charges against Andrei on the condition of resigning as general manager.

What I didn't expect even more than Sergei's resignation itself was that Sergey would be able to make such a decision for this:

He really wasn't obligated to do that!

Sergey said that I was friends with him! However, before that, I didn't even know about Sergei's real character. I really didn't think of him as a friend! Sergey and I also had absolutely no such relationship.

Roman said that I didn't need to defend Sergei, and he even bet that Sergei would definitely sacrifice me for himself.

The truth is! Not only did I fail to defend Sergei, but I was the one who made Sergei sacrifice in the end!

In the café outside the company, I dialed Sergey's phone.

Sergei's tone sounded lighthearted.

He first asked me how Andrei's defense was?

I told him that Moscow had produced another doctor. For that alone, our college should be grateful to him.

I said I was going to meet him and ask him what to do with Roman in the future.

It seems that Roman won this time. With my help! Roman won so perfectly! I'm ashamed of my stupidity! I was really guilty of myself.

I asked Sergey, is there any room for redemption?

Sergei joked: The resignation was proposed by you first, and I just followed suit.

I said with tears in my voice: Sergey, I really didn't expect to hurt you. I can't forgive myself. I don't deserve you to make such a big sacrifice.

The meaning of my resignation is completely different from your resignation, and Moscow is not a good place for me for a long time. I'm just working part-time, so I really don't have to do this job.

However, this job means something completely different to you, and it is related to your career, future and destiny. Your losses by doing so are too great.

Sergey said: Lina, you are a good girl. I admire your character and talents.

But twice I've put you in danger. I felt really guilty.

Roman's there, if I don't let you go, you won't be threatened by Roman, and Andre won't go to Roman. I'm responsible for all of this.

I've always had a fight with Roman, but I shouldn't have brought you in. This one is really unfair to you and Andrei.

Linna, don't blame yourself. Roman has coveted the customs clearance company for more than a day or two, and the grievances between Roman and me are only clear to the two of us. Roman will act on the company sooner or later, and he chooses the people around me, not you, but also Anton or Katya. None of this is something you and I can control......

Finally Sergey smiled and said: Don't worry about me, Linna! I haven't taken a vacation for five years either, haha, I really want to relax myself.

We're friends, aren't we? If it's a friend, don't be so polite.

I said: Sergey, we are friends, friends of life and death!
