57 Chapter 57

◎One million and Ying Yun? Choose one million!◎

Yang Xueyi didn't hear a word Qiao Qianqian said afterwards.

She felt dizzy, as if the world had suddenly switched from a sunny day to a stormy night, and the whole world was about to collapse.

The world is so unfair. I made a wish so sincerely, but why did Ying Yun become rich before being with me?

Yang Xueyi lowered her head. Ironically, she was still wearing the flat shoes bought by Ying Yun today.

Mingming took advantage of Ying Yun's most helpless and lonely moment, when he fell from being a favored son of heaven to being a mortal, and she was about to secretly take Ying Yun away by relying on improper means and some luck.

Why did God arrange for An Xin and Ying Yun to reunite at this critical juncture?

And Ying Yun is lucky enough to have a father who is even richer than before?

Even drives a Rolls-Royce!

Why!

At a certain moment, Yang Xueyi felt like the insidious little monster in the myth who stole the fairy's wings and prevented the fairy from returning to heaven. He used coercion, inducement and trickery to force the fairy to stay in the mortal world and live with him.

However, a fairy is always a fairy. When his tribe finds him and takes back his wings, he will probably leave without looking back, right?

Who would be attached to the life in the mortal world?

The image of Ying Yun and An Xin standing together like a perfect couple flashed through her mind, and her heart was in turmoil.

They are indeed a good match.

In the final analysis, Ying Yun and An Xin are the same kind of people—they have lived a comfortable life since childhood, have had a smooth life, have a broad vision, and a bright future.

When they were taking forest outdoor classes and camping in an international school during their childhood, Yang Xueyi was digging loaches and fishing for crayfish in the ditches of her hometown; when they were learning equestrianism and golf, Yang Xueyi might have been helping her grandmother feed the pigs.

Today, Ying Yun has become a respectable doctor, An Xin has become a developer of medical equipment, and only Yang Xueyi is floating in a sunset industry, waiting to be replaced by AI at any time.

In the past, Yang Xueyi could not reach Ying Yun no matter what, so she pretended not to see him. She obviously cared about him to death, but she convinced herself that she actually hated him, hypocritically showing disdain, and acting so sincerely that even she fooled herself.

When Ying Yun's family encountered misfortune and he became within her reach, Yang Xueyi could no longer keep up her pretense and quickly surrendered to the temptation without even struggling internally. She just took advantage of the situation and couldn't wait to get Ying Yun.

However, just like the alphabet building block game in childhood, the empty space in Ying Yun's heart was H. Yang Xueyi was not H at all, but just an N. No matter how hard she tried to twist herself and squeeze herself into the empty space of H, she would not become H.

She tried to take advantage of Ying Yun's low period, and even if she could only force herself into H's relationship, in time, either she or Ying Yun would not be able to bear it.

What's more, Yang Xueyi knew that she was N and what the other person lacked was H, and H had now been found. If she still insisted on filling in the blank, it would be a complete lack of self-respect.

She finished her lunch in a daze, said goodbye to Qiao Qianqian, and returned to the company building. While washing her hands in the bathroom, Yang Xueyi looked up and saw herself in the mirror.

It was a face that was anxious, unconfident, frustrated and uneasy.

The facial features have not changed, but the expression is really gloomy.

Although Yang Xueyi likes Ying Yun, she also knows that fate cannot be forced.

If you need to hold on to a relationship, it means it doesn't belong to you.

And more than liking Ying Yun, she also likes herself.

If a relationship brings out the most vulnerable, embarrassing and inferior side of her character, then perhaps now is not a good time to start this relationship.

After all, I am so unconfident. Even if I confess my feelings now, even if I try my best to make Ying Yun look at me, what will happen?

As long as An Xin is still with Ying Yun, can Yang Xueyi be confident and feel secure in this relationship?

Besides, even if An Xin is gone, there will be someone else.

But the one who was wrong was neither An Xin nor anyone else, it was Yang Xueyi herself.

The class gap between her and Ying Yun when they were young was like a brand firmly imprinted in her mind. Yang Xueyi was both sensitive and capable, but apart from all pretense and bravado, she was just inferior.

What's more, if she chooses to go to Africa, her future will only be more uncertain, and her relationship with Ying Yun will be more confusing, which will affect her emotions and distract her attention.

Yang Xueyi didn't want her hard-earned career opportunity to be dragged down by the shadow of love and held back.

She didn't want to worry about gains and losses anymore.

If any emotion causes you to be too consumed by internal energy, you should cut it off immediately.

Moreover, thinking from another angle, Yang Xueyi had already enjoyed Ying Yun's young body.

Gender equality is a matter of mutual consent, and she did not suffer any loss in this matter.

Now Ying Yun looks like he is almost thirty years old, and his physical fitness has begun to decline. He will definitely be more powerless in the future, and will soon be on the road of no return just like Yang Xueyi wished in the hot pot restaurant.

So there is nothing to be nostalgic about.

In the future, when Ying Yun is old and ugly, she will be left to others.

**

Yang Xueyi thought she would be troubled for a long time about the job opportunities in Africa and Ying Yun.

However, there may be a destiny in the dark. Many times, at some important forks in life, it only takes a moment to make a real decision.

Although Yang Xueyi's mind was full of thoughts, she actually made a decision the moment she saw herself in the mirror.

She wanted to see her own shining, confident smile.

As a man of action, once he made up his mind, things would move forward quickly. As soon as Yang Xueyi figured it out, he immediately called Karen -

"Sister Karen, please don't contact others at your post. I want to go. When will you come to sign the contract?"

**

Of course, although the decision only took a moment, Yang Xueyi had actually done sufficient research on the job position and future prospects at Duanfang Biology before making the decision.

Africa's current population exceeds 1.4 billion, accounting for about 15% of the world's total population, and its fertility rate is one of the fastest in the world.

As the population grows, the demand for medical resources and medicines has also increased exponentially. However, due to historical economic reasons in Africa, their medicines rely heavily on imports. In 2024 alone, the total import value of medical products in Africa will be nearly 20 billion US dollars.

What's more, some Chinese-developed drugs are no less effective than those developed by European and American pharmaceutical companies, but are much cheaper. Medical resources in Africa are already scarce, and most poor people in Africa cannot afford imported drugs from Europe and the United States. If Chinese pharmaceutical companies' drugs enter the African market, many of their people who originally could not afford medicine will be able to treat their illnesses. This is not only a commercial layout, but also a win-win situation.

Instead of letting European and American pharmaceutical companies take away this money, why can't Chinese pharmaceutical companies get a piece of the pie?

At least it will give African people more freedom to choose medicines.

In short, China-Africa cooperation now has a huge market, which can be regarded as a blue ocean, and medical translation talents who understand the registration process are in short supply.

Although it is naturally hard for the first batch of pioneers, there must always be someone who is the first to try something new.

Yang Xueyi is willing to endure hardships and wants to continue on the path of medical translation. She knows very well that if she just keeps following the existing route, the road will only become narrower and narrower.

She didn't want this to happen. Yang Xueyi wanted to find a shovel and widen the path into a road, bit by bit, even if it was tiring and slow, so that people behind her could follow in her footsteps and walk on the smooth road.

If you can make money while doing this, that would be perfect.

After making the decision, although I was reluctant, all the entanglements and internal frictions disappeared.

After talking to Karen, Yang Xueyi's heart finally felt light again.

Just as she reached the door of her home, Yang Xueyi still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of Ying Yun who had decided to let go.

She took a deep breath and returned home, only to find that Ying Yun was already there.

Ying Yun did not work overtime tonight and was now walking into the kitchen with a calm expression to wash the vegetables.

Hearing the sound of Yang Xueyi opening the door, Ying Yun was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked out of the kitchen. He looked no different from usual. He glanced at Yang Xueyi and asked as if he cared about her: "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

"No."

Yang Xueyi turned her head away and thought that Ying Yun would be with An Xin in the future. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel sad.

Damn Ying Yun, why are you still so concerned about me at this moment? My ability to read people's expressions is getting higher and higher!

He probably ignored his first love in the past, which is why he couldn't be called a first love for so many years. Now Yang Xueyi has trained him to be more considerate of others, but it's a pity that he has to benefit from it.

However, it cannot be denied that Ying Yun has become a good person after labor reform. He has a good sense of service and is proficient in washing dishes and cooking. He has indeed not caused any trouble while maintaining this relationship with me. Instead, I have many misunderstandings about him.

Now he doesn't dare to bring it to an end rashly, perhaps because he is worried that Yang Xueyi once helped him when he was in trouble, and he is worried that she is still suffering from insomnia and feels a little embarrassed.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Ying Yun is really nice to Yang Xueyi now. He always cares about her and speaks to her in a gentle manner, so Yang Xueyi feels that she should not be so selfish.

The reunion with An Xin and the appearance of Ying Yunfu's biological father allowed Ying Yun to return to his original world.

This way, he would probably have more confidence to pursue An Xin again.

She should wish Ying Yun to be happier.

Yang Xueyi felt that she should let him go free.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he pays back the 60,000 yuan first...

In fact, Yang Xueyi had been mentally preparing herself all the way home, determined to ask Ying Yun for money as soon as possible. But when the time came, she couldn't open her mouth and could only blame herself for being so concerned about face that she couldn't bring herself to ask Ying Yun for the money.

While answering Yun, she became unlike herself again, talking about other things: "I'm not in a bad mood. It's just that the work pressure has been a bit high recently. The translation industry is under great pressure right now, and it's hard to make money."

When Yang Xueyi said this, it was just an excuse she made up. However, Ying Yun stopped what he was doing after hearing it. He took out his cell phone and seemed to be typing something.

The next second, the sound of a text message came from Yang Xueyi's phone.

Before she could even ask for money, Ying Yun had already transferred 100,000 yuan to her.

"In the last lawsuit, the other party has already negotiated a settlement with Lawyer Wu, compensated for the losses and legal fees, and will later make a public apology."

Ying Yun's expression remained calm and natural, and his voice was gentle: "Yang Xueyi, thank you for the 60,000 yuan before. It really helped a lot."

On the way back, Yang Xueyi secretly cursed Ying Yun in her heart. He didn't even tell her that he had become rich again. Was he afraid that she would become dependent on him?

As a result, I now find that I have been judging others by my own standards.

Ying Yun just recognized his biological father last night, and he returned the money to himself today. He had no intention of defaulting on the debt.

As for the details and identity of his biological father, given their relationship, there was really no need to explain everything to Yang Xueyi. She was not related to him.

Yang Xueyi suppressed her emotions and turned away: "Then you can just transfer 60,000 to me, and I can return 40,000 to you."

Although she cursed, she didn't really want to collect interest.

However, Ying Yun was very persistent. He raised his eyelids and said, "Didn't I say that the 60,000 was an investment? I can't let you get nothing. Yang Xueyi, don't return the 40,000 to me."

Yang Xueyi's unique "investment" had a huge rate of return, and her savings instantly increased from five figures to six figures. This was a great joyous event, but she changed her mind and became unhappy again.

Sure enough, Ying Yun was rich again, so he couldn't wait to return Yang Xueyi's money to her, and even gave her an extra red envelope of 40,000 yuan. He was probably afraid that she would use this as a pretext for repayment, so he spent money to make Yang Xueyi convinced.

After all, if you want to sort out the relationship with yourself and end it properly, you must start with the entanglement of money.

However, Yang Xueyi waited and waited, but Ying Yun never mentioned this relationship.

He calmly resumed washing the vegetables and glanced at Yang Xueyi: "Don't stress yourself out in the future. Every industry has its ups and downs. If the translation industry is in a downturn right now, take a break and slow down your work and life."

The sound of flowing water almost drowned out his deep voice, but Yang Xueyi could still hear it clearly.

"If you don't have enough money, you can tell me."

"If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I have a stable job anyway, I can help you."

This was a very ordinary sentence, but the emotions that Yang Xueyi had managed to control almost collapsed.

Si Yingyun, if you don’t shut up, you will miss my decision to mercifully let you go!

In the end, Ying Yun didn't know when to quit, and just looked at Yang Xueyi with concern: "What's wrong? Your eyes are so red? Did dust get into them?"

Perhaps Yang Xueyi's unusual silence caught Ying Yun's attention. He washed his hands, turned off the faucet, then turned around, raised his hand and gently touched the corner of Yang Xueyi's eyes.

After a short while, Ying Yun withdrew his hand with some doubt: "It seems that nothing has entered his mouth. Did he overuse his eyes? Do you want me to buy some artificial tears?"

His hand only stayed on Yang Xueyi's face for a short time, but the touch of his fingertips made Yang Xueyi want to cry even more.

At a certain moment, her sanity slightly collapsed, and she had a crazy desire to want Ying Yun - she wanted to touch this hand, wanted to be touched by it, and wanted to monopolize it.

When this relationship started, Yang Xueyi felt that she could withdraw at any time, and she was complacent that at least she had possessed Ying Yun's young body.

However, it was not until this moment that she realized that if she wanted to create a bond with someone, she would have to take the risk of shedding tears.

Yang Xueyi was like a toddler who was already thinking about running faster, and was not at all prepared to bear the consequences of falling and getting bruised.

The longer you delay, the more you will get hurt.

The feeling of liking Ying Yun is like being in the clouds. Yang Xue, without wings, is trying to soar in a sky that does not belong to her. She knows that she will fall sooner or later, but she doesn't know that the moment of being shattered into pieces will come so soon.

So instead of waiting for Ying Yun to return to his own world and be with the person he should be with, and then leaving Yang Xueyi without looking back, it would be better to take the initiative at this moment while still having dignity, and then work hard to do things that will definitely bear fruit for your efforts -

Love may not necessarily lead to a happy ending, but hard work will never let people down.

Besides, sometimes, only when you grow wings can you not be afraid of the sky.

At this moment, Yang Xueyi became even more certain that her decision was right.

Afraid that she would lose self-control again after seeing Ying Yun, Yang Xueyi ate the dinner made by Ying Yun in a hurry, left Ying Yun to wash the dishes, and ran back to her room quickly.

Fortunately, Ying Yun probably also wanted to end this relationship with Yang Xueyi. When Yang Xueyi came out to drink water in her pajamas, she ran into Ying Yun who was still tidying up the kitchen. He glanced at Yang Xueyi and immediately looked away as if to avoid suspicion. He only whispered to her to button up her pajamas, as if Yang Xueyi was some scheming spy who was seducing her. Ying Yun had a serious face, and his determined eyes that rejected the temptation of beauty looked as if he was going to build socialism in the next second.

nerve!

So what?

In the evening, he tacitly did not knock on the door, and for the first time, the two of them resumed their truly respectful roommate relationship.

Yang Xueyi was fine. Her insomnia had indeed improved a lot recently, and she began to feel sleepy without any psychological burden.

However, Ying Yun did not seem to sleep well, because Yang Xueyi in the next room also heard the noise of the bed board under him due to his frequent tossing and turning.

**

The next day, after Yang Xueyi received the employment confirmation letter from Karen at Duanfang Biology and accepted Karen's offer, she immediately reported to Xu Xinran.

After learning about this, Xu Xinran sincerely congratulated Yang Xueyi. Yang Xueyi had just completed the translation of several important medical documents and only had some administrative work to finish, so she didn't need to do much handover.

The resignation procedures at Medical Translation Bank are also relatively simple.

"Zhong Tian is on a business trip these days. I'll help you with the paperwork over there. Our small company only needs the signatures of a few partners."

Although a normal resignation requires a one-month notice period, Xu Xinran generously agreed not to. "Duanfang Bio is in a hurry to hire, so they'll probably fast-track your onboarding and urge you to go overseas as soon as you start. Plus, if you're going to Africa, you'll need to get some vaccinations. We don't have much to do at the company these days, so you don't need to come in for the next few days. Just come back and get your resignation forms."

"You can also use this time to spend some time with family and friends, say goodbye, and give yourself a short vacation. There's no such thing as a 9-to-5 routine when you're working on overseas drug launches."

Xu Xinran smiled and said, "If you develop well there, you can contribute to our company in the future and promote the strategic cooperation between Duanfang Bio and Yiyixing. However, next time you will represent Party A. It will be our turn. Please take good care of us."

The challenges of the new job diluted some of Yang Xueyi's sadness. Her emotions were like a boiling hot pot with various ingredients floating in it, complicated and messy. She didn't know what to eat and didn't have much of an idea, but fortunately there was something to do.

The first thing to do was naturally to apologize to Ms. Yang Meiying for making a decision without her permission. Fortunately, Yang Xueyi cleverly called on Qiao Qianqian from the atmosphere adjustment team. Although Ms. Yang Meiying was quite worried, Yang Xueyi was well prepared, so she was finally persuaded. The three of them had a hot pot together as a farewell banquet.

What happened next was exactly as Xu Xinran said. After Yang Xueyi finished getting the vaccine, Duanfang Biology had already begun urging her to start work as soon as possible. As soon as she completed the work procedures, they quickly bought her a plane ticket to Africa.

Yang Xueyi felt like she was being rushed forward these days, so busy that she really had no time to think about love.

Karen ultimately offered Yang Xueyi a very high salary, including full board and lodging for the African assignment, plus generous allowances. Yang Xueyi roughly calculated that if she added in the generous year-end bonus, her annual salary would be close to a million before tax! If she worked hard, a million after tax would be just around the corner!

Once she had the motivation of money, Yang Xueyi felt that her vision immediately broadened.

At this moment, all her worries and anxieties about Africa were gone, and she couldn't wait to go to Africa to see the wildebeest.

So the reason why I was desperate for Ying Yun a while ago was because I was too poor.

Although it is better for men to be poor, and poor men should be united, friendly, kind, humble, hardworking and simple, but women... it is better for women to be rich!

When she thought about the possibility that her bank card balance would jump from six figures to seven figures in a year, Yang Xueyi suddenly felt that losing Ying Yun was no big deal.

After all, if Ying Yun and the one million fell into the river together, and the river god picked them up and returned what belonged to Yang Xueyi to her, and threw what didn't belong to her back into the river, Yang Xueyi would definitely choose the one million.

Anyway, Ying Yun can swim, so he won’t die. At most, he will just choke on some water.

Besides, he is about to get together with An Xin, Yang Xueyi thought angrily, then just die!
