There are so many people in this world who are trying hard to love each other.
Their fate is nothing more than to go their separate ways.
If I had known this earlier,
Will you still love desperately?

On a sunny morning, I stood by the window and watched my younger classmates strolling leisurely downstairs.
I have rarely enjoyed the sunshine since I completely gave up on Lin Chujian. Now I open the curtains and the warm sunshine hits me. Suddenly I wonder why I always let down such a good life.
I had just gotten myself ready to go out and bask in the sun, but Yi Tian's words brought me to the bottom of my mood: "Oh, it's Zhou Yao's birthday today, Lu Yan is treating us at the Shengshi Hotel tonight, let's all go , and... Lin Chujian should be there too, are you going?"
I hesitated for a while, but when I thought about how the relationship between Zhou Yao and I seemed to have become increasingly distant since I won the award, I thought that attending her birthday party would be a good opportunity to repair our relationship, so I pretended to be relaxed and said, "Go, of course. There's no need to treat myself badly for an ex-boyfriend. The Grand Hotel is so high-end, I have to let Lu Yan spend some money."
Shengshi Hotel is a well-known five-star hotel in the local area. The prices there are beyond the reach of many people. Lu Yan's generosity is enough to show how much he values ​​Zhou Yao.
However, even though I was fully prepared to face Lin Chujian, as soon as I walked into the private room and saw Lin Chujian, my hands clenched involuntarily.
Lin Chujian was sitting near the door and saw me. He seemed to want to say hello to me, but I turned my face away. When I turned my head again, he was no longer looking at me. Xu Yaxin was sitting next to him. The two who had been arguing before seemed to have completely reconciled. When Xu Yaxin saw me come in, she deliberately picked up a small piece of watermelon with a fruit fork, carefully picked out the black spots with a toothpick, opened her little mouth, took a light bite to taste it, and then smiled and stuffed the rest into Lin Chujian's mouth.
Seeing Xu Yaxin deliberately showing off her affection to annoy me, I relaxed instead. I no longer felt as awkward as I did when I first saw Lin Chujian.
I pulled Yi Tian around Lin Chujian, sat down next to Zhou Yao, and handed her the gift in my hand: "Happy birthday, dear, this is a little gift from me, Yi Tian."
Zhou Yao took the gift I handed over naturally. She unwrapped it and found a set of Chanel classic diamond necklace and earrings inside the exquisite box printed with the Chanel logo.
"Thank you for the money." Zhou Yao didn't show much surprise, but politely put the gift into her bag, then smiled and thanked us, "Thank you!"
Zhou Yao's reaction somewhat disappointed Yi Tian and me. We thought she would like it very much. Because when we went shopping together before, Zhou Yao had taken a fancy to this set of jewelry, but she didn't buy it because she couldn't afford the expensive price. But after that, every time she passed by, she would go into the store to take a look and feast her eyes.
Yi Tian glanced at the display case in the corner of the room, then calmly touched my shoulder, motioning me to look over there. I immediately understood why Zhou Yao's reaction was so cold. It turned out that the display case was already filled with bags from various big brands, and every item inside was much more expensive than the jewelry set we gave her.
I couldn't help but secretly smack my lips. Lu Yan really cares about Zhou Yao. Although being willing to spend money doesn't mean true love, I know that for a rich second-generation like Lu Yan who has never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, the amount of money he is willing to spend on the other person shows how much he loves the other person. Because the love he has received since childhood has always been expressed in the form of generous material things.
Xu Yaxin, who was always paying attention to me, also saw the look between me and Yi Tian. She smiled cunningly, glanced again, and probably found that Lu Yan was out to meet a friend and was not in the private room, so she began to sigh loudly as if talking to herself: "Oh, Chanel, I'm afraid some people have never used such a brand in their lives! Oh, not really, some people think they have climbed up the tree and become a phoenix, so these little things are probably not worth their attention. It's just a pity that a sparrow will always be a sparrow and can never become a phoenix."
Every word Xu Yaxin said was full of thorns, and everyone present knew who she was talking about.
"Xu..." Yi Tian couldn't stand it anymore and was about to challenge Xu Yaxin, but she saw Zhou Yao shaking her head.
She smiled as if she didn't care and said back: "I don't know whether a sparrow can become a phoenix, but I know that even if a dove occupies a sparrow's nest, it cannot become a sparrow."
Zhou Yao was obviously using the incident between Lin Chujian and me to mock Xu Yaxin. What surprised us was not Zhou Yao's mockery, but the fact that she, who was always gentle and unwilling to cause trouble, took the initiative to fight back again.
The last time she behaved like this was at the celebration party for the Creative Video Competition. After that, although she became a little tougher than before, she still tolerated Xu Yaxin in everything.
I don't know why I became so tough again today.
But no matter what the reason is, we all feel very happy to see Zhou Yao being able to protect herself and make Xu Yaxin, who always shows off in front of her, feel humiliated.
Before Xu Yaxin could respond, Lu Yan came in with a group of friends. After all, he was the host of the party, and Xu Yaxin didn't want to offend him, so she could only shut up in disappointment.
Not long after Lu Yan came in, he stood up and looked around. He probably saw that most of the people he invited had arrived, so he said, "Everyone, today, in addition to helping Zhou Yao celebrate her birthday, I have something more important that I need everyone to bear witness to."
As he said that, Lu Yan turned around and stood facing Zhou Yao beside him, then took her hand, knelt on one knee, and solemnly confessed: "Yaoyao, I fell in love with you from the first moment I saw you. After spending some time together, I believe you should also understand that I love you sincerely. Today, taking this opportunity, I hope you can give me a clear answer. Are you willing to be my girlfriend?"
"I do! I do! I do!"
Everyone present started to make a fuss.
Zhou Yao blushed, looked at me, then at Yi Tian, ​​and finally stopped her gaze on Lu Yan, nodding shyly.
Cheers and firecrackers rang out. Lu Yan jumped up and hugged Zhou Yao tightly. The two of them kissed as if no one was around.
Yi Tian couldn't help but sigh softly in my ear: "I didn't expect that someone as shy as Zhou Yao could be so open when she was overwhelmed by love!"
Lu Yan's proposal was successful, and the private room was filled with an atmosphere of happiness.
Everyone was eating, drinking and chatting happily, but Xu Yaxin was the kind of person who would feel uncomfortable unless she made some trouble, so before she had been quiet for two minutes, she started to act coquettishly and cling to Lin Chujian, showing their affection in public.
"First meeting, I want to eat watermelon, can you cut it into small pieces for me?"
"Chu Jian, this watermelon has black spots, can you help me pick one out?"
"First meeting..."
Lin Chujian frowned slightly, seeming a little reluctant, but he couldn't resist Xu Yaxin's tricks, so he did everything. I looked at the busy Lin Chujian and felt sad for a moment. Once upon a time, he did all these things for me. He didn't need me to ask, just a glance, and he would understand and take the initiative to help me do everything.
Unable to bear Xu Yaxin's affectation, Yi Tian and I changed seats with others, hoping to stay away from Xu Yaxin. But the woman's voice was like a devil's voice, and I couldn't escape it no matter how I tried to hide.
After learning that I had submitted a letter of resignation to Lin Chuyu because of my relationship with Lin Chujian, Sister Linda told me that people always have to learn to grow up after experiencing pain. Growing up means that even if you encounter the strongest pain, you will hide it in front of others; it means that even if you meet someone you hate, you will keep smiling.
At this moment, I tried hard to hide and keep smiling.
But seeing Xu Yaxin's anger getting worse and worse, I knew she was trying to provoke me on purpose and I couldn't fall into her trap. But the fact was, I felt like I couldn't pretend any longer.
Fortunately, when my emotions reached the critical point of explosion, Lin Chuyu called me. On the phone, Lin Chuyu asked me about some work matters. After hearing the noisy voice on my side, he, who has never been interested in other people's private lives, actually asked me: "What are you doing?"
I was stunned for a moment. It was time to get off work. I thought, what are we doing, he has no right to control it, right? So I answered truthfully: "Attending Zhou Yao's birthday party."
"Oh." Lin Chuyu paused. I thought he was going to hang up, but he added, "Drink less."
Asking me to drink less? Is Lin Chuyu joking? Has he forgotten that time when he was on a business trip and used me like a wine barrel? Today he actually asked me to drink less! Are all members of the Lin family so hot-and-cold and capricious?
They can do whatever they want, just don't make fun of me all the time.
I hung up the phone while shaking my head in confusion. Yi Tian probably heard that the other party was a man, and asked me gossipingly: "Who is it? Why do you care so much about you?"
"Oh my god, do you have super hearing? You can actually hear what the other person is saying even though it's so noisy." I replied in surprise.
Yi Tian pouted: "Don't change the subject, tell me who it is? Is he your second spring? Tell the truth!"
"What second spring? Stop guessing! It's my boss Lin Chuyu who wants to talk to me about work!" I picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and stuffed it into Yi Tian's mouth, trying to make her shut up.
But she ate the food in a few mouthfuls and joked, "Oh, that devil who sent you flowers before, took you on a business trip, and made you drink so much that you lost your memory? Didn't you say he wasn't interested in you? Why is he so concerned about you today and asked you to drink less? It's not normal! There must be something going on!"
"I'm just wondering, how come even a table full of food can't stop you from talking? Do you want me to call Li Qiuyang and ask him to come and take care of you?" I picked up the phone and pretended to make a call.
Yi Tian said indifferently, "Go ahead and hit him. He's been very busy lately and doesn't have time to meddle in other people's business!"
Lin Chujian and Xu Yaxin heard every word of the conversation between Yi Tian and I, because after we finished talking, Lin Chujian looked at me anxiously and painfully. I can understand Lin Chujian's reaction. After all, we were in love before, and even if we broke up, it's not so easy to get over it, just like me to him.
What surprised me was that Xu Yaxin actually stopped showing off her affection. Her face turned gloomy and she stared at me as if she wanted to eat me up.
After a while, someone suggested playing the "Seventh Pass" game, and the loser had to drink a penalty drink.
Xu Yaxin responded excitedly. "I have a headache. I am not very sensitive to numbers. I always lose badly when I play this game."
Sure enough, I lost more than ten times before I started playing for long. I thought the penalty was just a token of my respect, but Xu Ya was so cruel that she placed several bottles of liquor on the table and filled the largest cup.
No one can hide from the defeat. Even Yi Tian, ​​who cares about me, can't say anything. I can only let Xu Yaxin tease me.
Looking at Lin Chujian, who used to hate me drinking and couldn't stand me being bullied by others, now being indifferent, my heart feels empty.
Even without Xu Yaxin pouring wine into me, I would want to use wine to fill my empty heart.
One cup after another, from passive to active, in the end, I felt it had become a habitual action. I didn't know what I was doing, I just kept drinking.
"Li Ge, are you crazy? Stop drinking! We don't want to play anymore!" Yi Tian tried to stop me many times, but I blocked her every time.
Then Lu Yan, Zhou Yao, and some people I didn’t know came to persuade me. Even Xu Yaxin stopped pouring the wine and sarcastically told me not to blame her if I died of drinking.
Only Lin Chujian sat in his seat from beginning to end, indifferent.
Tears suddenly flowed out, mixed with the wine and I drank it. Looking up at Lin Chujian again, I think I was really drunk, otherwise how could I see the sad expression on Lin Chujian's face, which had always been indifferent?
The memory after that started to become blurry.
I seemed to be dragged back to the dormitory by Yi Tian and Zhou Yao. After a period of confusion, I sat on the bed.
It seems like someone went out, someone came in, and someone went out again...
so annoying!
"Yitian, Yitian, where are you? I feel so bad, come and hug me!"
Being held carefully by someone, I suddenly remembered the drunken night on the business trip. It turned out that it was Lin Chujian who held me and sent me back to the hotel.
That day I nestled in his warm arms, and he took good care of me all the way, fearing that I would fall and get hurt. I cried like I did today, constantly telling him how much I missed him.
I tightly held on to the person who was hugging me at the moment, without even bothering to see who the other person was, and began to mutter about my sadness, as if I had finally found an outlet to vent, and I couldn't stop.
The pain that had accumulated for so long was released in an instant.
I talked about Lin Chujian, my parents, and Li Qiuyang.
"I'm so sad. Why did it happen? My parents divorced almost ten years ago, and I just found out. I was foolishly kept in the dark for ten years! They kept saying they loved me, but now one of them has flown to the other side of the ocean to find his own happiness, and the other is living a happy and beautiful life with his mistress and illegitimate child. No one cares about me, and no one remembers me..."
"Why is it that Li Qiuyang is my brother? Why is he so good to me that I can't hate him? I clearly hated him when I first met him, but why can't I hate him at all now?"
"And Lin Chujian, did you see it just now? He and Xu Yaxin were so close, and I wasn't even in their eyes. The life we ​​promised each other is bullshit! Bullshit! They are all bastards! Bastards!"
"Yitian, what should I do? They don't want me anymore, what should I do?"
"Yitian, you still want me, right? You're the only one who still wants me, right?"
It was as if the whole world had betrayed me, leaving only the person in front of me. I frantically grabbed this piece of driftwood when I was drowning, wishing that she could take me away from this ocean of pain like a rocket.
The pain I experienced in the past twenty years was never as much as what I experienced in this year. I know I did a lot of wrong things, but I’m lucky to have Yitian.
After going through all this, I understand that you never know when fate will send you surprises and shocks, nor do you know whether you can bear it alone. All we can do is to live desperately and fight against fate.
But I... am really tired.
Just when I thought the person holding me was Yi Tian and was about to fall asleep on her shoulder, I heard a slightly cold voice whispering in my ear: "I'm not Yi Tian, ​​I'm Zhou Yao."
I don’t know why, but as soon as I heard Zhou Yao’s name, I sobered up.
"What I said just now..." I got up from Zhou Yao's arms, sat up straight, looked at her awkwardly, and asked tentatively.
"I heard it all. It turns out that you and Li Qiuyang are siblings. Haha, no wonder Yi Tian has never been jealous. I'm the only one who is stupid and still worried that you will have a conflict because of this." Zhou Yao said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"Well, Zhou Yao, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but the situation between Li Qiuyang and I is a little complicated..." Seeing that Zhou Yao's face looked a little strange, I hurriedly explained.
She smiled at me gently without caring: "No need to explain, I believe you have your difficulties."
At that time, I was probably a little stupid due to the stimulation of alcohol. I really believed that Zhou Yao could understand me, so I didn't explain any more and fell into a deep sleep.
I had no idea that Zhou Yao had completely changed after I fell asleep. She stared at me and said with great hatred and harshness, "Li Ge, you can tell Yi Tian everything, but you never tell me. Is the sisterly love you usually have just a trick you rich people like to play? In your eyes, who am I? Were you and Yi Tian just sympathizing with me from beginning to end? Pity me? Hahahaha... Your life, which is said to have a strong background and is full of success, is just like this!"
Because of family changes and heartbreak, and because Yi Tian has always been with me, I always thought that compared to family and lovers, friends are the most indestructible relationship in the world.
What I didn’t know was that there is no indestructible relationship in this world, and it is more about people deceiving themselves.
When I woke up the next day, I had a splitting headache, just like the last time I was on a business trip, and I couldn't do any work at all. So I asked Zhou Yao to help me take the leave note to the company.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but when I talked to Zhou Yao today, I always felt that her attitude became much more distant.
After Zhou Yao and Yi Tian went out, I was the only one left in the dormitory to rest.
Just when I was resting, on the other side that I couldn't see, Lin Chujian was also suffering from a headache.
My headache is a hangover headache, while Lin Chujian’s headache is caused by helplessness.
"Uncle Lin, I want to get engaged to Brother Chujian." When Xu Yaxin said this, Lin Chujian was walking downstairs with documents and standing on the steps. He couldn't see Xu Yaxin's expression, but he saw a moment of surprise and joy on his father's face.
Mother Lin sat next to Dad, with a complicated yet helpless expression. She opened her mouth several times but finally swallowed her words back.
Seeing her mother's expression, Lin Chujian didn't know whether to go downstairs or go back and pretend she heard nothing.
During this period, he missed Li Ge madly and wanted to call her more than once to tell her that he loved her and hoped that they could continue to be together, but every time he was rejected by Xu Yaxin.
Just like last night, he clearly wanted to stop Li Ge from drinking, but he could only hold back and watch Li Ge sad. Because he was afraid that if he softened his heart, he would go back to Li Ge regardless of everything. But reason told him not to do that. His father's expectations, his mother's embarrassment, and Lin Chuyu's hatred for him, each of them would bring Li Ge unimaginable harm.
He is still too weak now and has no way to support his mother and Li Ge. He can only give in step by step so that he can fulfill his father's expectations, so that his mother will not be too embarrassed in this family, and let Lin Chuyu give up doing things to hurt Li Ge because she hates him.
Sometimes he envied Lin Chuyu, at least he could live the life he wanted and take the path he wanted, instead of having to compromise like himself.
"Uncle Lin, I think you also know that my father only has me as his daughter. As long as I live well, he will be happy, and the relationship between our two families will naturally become closer, and the cooperation between the two families will naturally be taken to a higher level." Xu Yaxin knew what words would impress the Lin family, and also understood what the other party wanted, "So, I hope you can agree to my engagement with Chu Jian's brother."
"Of course." Father Lin agreed without hesitation.
"Dad!" Lin Chujian finally couldn't help but come down the stairs. "I want to make my own decision on my marriage, is that ok?"
For Li Ge, he wanted to make one last attempt.
But what is the result?
My father's face turned cold and he threatened, "I'm not dead yet, and I'm still the boss of this family. If you want your mother to be embarrassed, you can choose your own marriage. At worst, when you get married, you can ask your mother to get out of this family with you. I will never give you a penny."
Tears instantly hung on the mother's face. She looked at the man beside her sadly, and the love mixed with pain in her heart could not be hidden.
Lin Chujian finally understood that in this family, as long as her mother still loved her father, she would not be able to escape from her father's control and would not be able to leave this family resolutely.
So what about Le Ge? What should Le Ge do?
When he agreed to break up with Li Ge, he told himself that it was just a delaying tactic, but now, because of his cowardice, he seemed to be really losing Li Ge.
He couldn't bear the pain of losing Li Ge, and refused again: "Dad, I can agree to everything you want, but I still can't agree to get engaged to Xu Yaxin."
After saying that, Lin Chujian put the documents on the coffee table and went upstairs, not caring at all about his father cursing angrily behind him.
For Li Ge's sake, he didn't want to make such a compromise, and he didn't want to continue to be coerced by Xu Yaxin.
People always have to work hard to live for themselves and for the people they love.
I don't know if it was because the alcohol was too strong this time, but it took me three full days to recover. Fortunately, I had a weekend to rest to my heart's content, otherwise, a strict boss like Lin Chuyu would definitely not allow me to be idle for such a few days.
After a good rest, I dressed myself up and went to work. I wanted to ask Zhou Yao to go out with me, but since the night I got drunk, I rarely saw her these days, and she didn't even go back to the dormitory to sleep last night. I sent her a WeChat message to ask her, and she said she was with Lu Yan. I thought she was in a passionate love period with Lu Yan and liked to be together, so I didn't ask any more questions.
As soon as I arrived at the company and sat down, the company's HR came over to inform me: "Li Ge, your application for regularization has been approved. Come to my office to sign the employment contract later."
After I came back from my last business trip, Lin Chuyu asked me to write an application for regularization and submit it. I had heard from Sister Linda that the company's review of regularization is very strict and it usually takes a long time to approve it. I didn't expect it to be approved so quickly.
"Tsk tsk, it's different after winning a big prize. Even the speed of becoming a regular employee is twice as fast as others." After the HR left, Sister Linda came up to me and joked.
Zhou Yao happened to come to work, and her face changed when she heard what Sister Linda said.
Seeing her look, Sister Linda shrugged and returned to her seat.
"Have you been converted to a regular employee?" Zhou Yao asked me after she sat down at the workstation next to me and adjusted herself.
"Yes, HR told me to go sign the contract in a while." I answered truthfully. After a pause, I added, "After you finish the case at hand, it should be soon ."
"Really?" Zhou Yao asked back with a chuckle. Without waiting for my answer, she turned her face and concentrated on her computer screen. She never said another word to me.
Although Zhou Yao and I have only been friends for a short time, when the school started, the three of us protected each other and were inseparable, which made me feel very warm. I thought that she and I could be as close as Yi Tian.
I asked myself, if it was Zhou Yao who won the award and got a regular job, I would have no reservations and would be happy for her.
But now it seems that she and I are getting further and further apart. I can't figure out why, I can only blame it on the fact that we are colleagues and there is too much competition. But in fact, I also know in my heart that this is just my self-explanation, because if it were Yi Tian and I, no matter how much competition there is between us, we would still send the most sincere blessings to each other for their achievements.
After I signed the contract with HR, Sister Linda notified me to go to a meeting.
At the meeting, Lin Chuyu handed me a document. I took it and quickly glanced through it. This was the project information of a very important project of the company. Several team leaders wanted to try it out, but Lin Chuyu actually gave it to me.
"Boss Lin, are you going to hand over Jialin's case to Li Ge?" Ai Fei, the leader of Team B, stood up in disbelief and objected, "I disagree. Although Li Ge is very capable at work, she is a newcomer after all. Isn't it a bit risky to hand over such an important project to her?"
"Effie, are you questioning my decision-making ability? Then who do you think I should hand it over to? You? Are you sure you can do it well?" Lin Chuyu asked coldly.
"That's not what I meant..." Aifei was stumped by Lin Chuyu's series of questions and explained awkwardly and hurriedly.
"If not, then let Li Ge take charge of this project." Lin Chuyu turned to look at me, "Do you have any questions?"
"Boss Lin, I think I may not be suitable for this project." I was surprised by Lin Chuyu's trust in me, but I was also grateful. I was going to give it a try for this trust, but when I saw that Xu Yaxin's company was also vying for this project, and the person in charge was still Lin Chujian, I wavered and said, "I'm sorry."
My direct rejection of Lin Chuyu made the atmosphere in the entire conference room tense. Everyone looked at me, some of them were really worried about me, while others looked gloating.
Zhou Yao, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, didn't say a word at first, but when she saw me reject such a good opportunity, she stood up abruptly and said confidently, "Manager Lin, why don't you let me have a try?"
The originally quiet office was suddenly in uproar.
"You?" Lin Chuyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yao with some sarcasm.
Sister Linda seemed to think that Zhou Yao was overestimating her own abilities. She whispered, "Have you completed all the projects on hand? Do as much don't dream of things beyond your capabilities."
This was a bit too much. I turned to look at Zhou Yao. She was biting her lip. There were no tears in her eyes like in the previous times. Instead, there was only deep resentment and resentment.
"Li Ge, I know why you don't want to do it. But I want to remind you that this is a company, not a place for you to talk about personal feelings. I don't care what happened between you and Lin Chujian, you must do this project well for me!" Lin Chuyu said this, said the meeting was adjourned, turned around and left, without giving me a chance to refuse again.
Linda looked at me with some sympathy and patted my shoulder: "You have a long way to go!"
After the meeting, Zhou Yao asked for leave and went back. I wanted to chase her out to comfort her, but before I could get up, a pile of documents was delivered to my workstation, and at the same time, Sister Linda also sent me a timetable.
One week later was the day for each company to submit its initial planning proposals. Time was very tight, and I could only watch Zhou Yao's figure disappear at the door, and then bury myself in work and forget about those annoying things.
This job has put me in an unprecedented state of business. I was even flipping through documents while eating.
After having a few meals with me like this, Yi Tian was no longer willing to eat with me when I was busy. She preferred to spend her time practicing singing with Li Qiuyang, which was at least pleasing to the eye.
Occasionally I would think of Lin Chujian, and I wondered if he had ever hesitated to take over this project because of me, or if he had never cared.
Overtime always flies by, and soon it was time for the bidding of the initial plans of various companies. I got up early that morning and dressed myself up like a professional female elite, hoping that when I introduced my plan, I could give people perfect persuasion from the outside to the inside.
The importance of this project can be seen from the fact that Lin Chuyu personally took me to the client company. When we arrived, many people were already waiting in the conference room, including Lin Chujian and Xu Yaxin.
When we saw Xu Yaxin, we all seemed to have prepared ourselves mentally and did not fight as usual as soon as we met.
When Lin Chuyu and I walked past them, she called out in an unusually coquettish voice: "Brother Chuyu!"
Lin Chuyu nodded in response, without much expression. Xu Yaxin seemed a little unhappy and turned away angrily. I was very puzzled. Lin Chujian was sitting next to her. Was it necessary for her to care so much about Lin Chuyu's reaction? Could it be that she really thought of herself as the sun goddess, and all the men around her had to revolve around her!
I smiled disdainfully and followed Lin Chuyu to our seat.
Xu Yaxin seemed a little unwilling. She bit her lip, and then, in a voice just loud enough for me to hear, she deliberately reminded Lin Chujian: "Brother Chujian, when you go on stage to make your proposal, you must do your best to help our company win this project. Don't deliberately perform poorly just because some people are also participating in the bidding!"
Today is a work situation, and I don't want to have any conflict with Xu Yaxin. Without stopping any longer, I quickly walked to my seat and sat down. Thinking about going on stage soon, I couldn't help but feel nervous. At this time, any romantic feelings are bullshit.
As I watched the people in front of me confidently go up to the stage to explain their proposals, and then walk down like eggplants hit by frost, I became more and more nervous.
Lin Chuyu probably realized my nervousness, and he curled his lips and chuckled, "You always act fearless in the company, why are you so scared here?"
"It's not that I'm a coward. It's just that I already thought what they said was good enough, but the people at Jialin Company didn't seem satisfied." I explained.
"Since the people from Jialin Company are not satisfied with their proposal, doesn't it mean that your proposal has a greater chance of winning the bid? This is a good thing, why are you so nervous!" Lin Chuyu didn't care.
Just when I was applauding Lin Chuyu's amazing logic, Lin Chujian came on stage.
He was wearing a well-fitting suit and looked calm and composed, not at all stage frightened in front of the crowd. Perhaps it was his excellent expressive ability accumulated from years of experience in participating in debate competitions that made him speak eloquently , sometimes humorous and sometimes profound, and expressed his proposal very brilliantly.
Lin Chujian on the stage exuded an aura that made people unable to look away. It seemed that Xu Yaxin's worry was completely unnecessary, as he had no intention of letting me go.
After Lin Chujian finished explaining his proposal, there was warm applause from the audience.
Lin Chujian's outstanding performance made me even more nervous. My palms were full of sweat. I turned to look at Lin Chuyu, thinking that in such an occasion, the boss would say something comforting to help the employee calm down!
Who knew that Lin Chuyu didn't even look at me, as if he didn't care at all. I could only pout and walk onto the stage.
Fortunately, like Lin Chujian, I had many years of debate experience to back me up, so I was not that nervous after I went on stage. I opened the PPT and presented my proposal fluently as I had practiced in the company before.
When I finished explaining my proposal, I also received applause, but compared to Lin Chujian, the sound was much weaker.
