Chapter 49: Looking forward to meeting my lover at the top
Sheng Li was surprised. She didn't expect that they would have such a coincidence in their work.
But after the surprise, the first person she thought of was Shi Ye. She had already thought of the message she would send to her bestie when she had time: "Guess who I met today"...
Shi should not be able to guess, and then she can negotiate conditions and tease her.
The thought made me want to laugh even more, but the occasion was not right, so I suppressed my mouth and looked at the ground.
She couldn't hold it back when she saw someone she knew in a formal setting. Luckily, it wasn't Tokiya directly... otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to stop laughing. And then her job was ruined. It was all over.
…
Li Yiyan, who was standing aside, felt extremely complicated.
The air conditioning in the venue was very cold, but her palms were sweating.
She even needed to unconsciously use more strength to hold on to the ground to stand still.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs places great emphasis on image management due to occasional demands and foreign affairs activities. Lee Ye-yeon, through years of practice, has always been at ease and has performed perfectly.
So at this moment, she was clearly aware of how stiff her expression was, but she couldn't adjust it appropriately.
When Zhou Junheng's gaze swept over her, her heart instantly rose, but the man's eyes did not even pause. It was just his habit to scan the entire room in normal work situations.
Before returning home, she knew that this day would come sooner or later. Li Yiyan felt that he would definitely be surprised or even disgusted when he saw her.
But she had never imagined it this way—not caring.
He didn't stop at all, as if he had never met her.
My heart instantly sank to the bottom of a cold valley. How could this happen?
Shen Qiang shook hands with the chairman of the organizing committee and got to know each other. Someone next to him introduced Sheng Li and Li Yiyan who were accompanying the organizing committee.
"These two are from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accompanying us and responsible for translation and communication. The woman on the left is Sheng Li, and the one on the right is Li Yiyan."
“It’s hard work.”
Sheng Li was very polite and leaned forward to shake his hand. "Thank you Secretary Shen for the compliment. It's my honor."
Li Yiyan was still out of state and almost distracted. She didn't know where to look for a long time.
Sheng Li was stunned for a moment, thinking that this girl was nervous because it was her first time encountering such a situation?
This was her first time working with her, and they were both new to the office. Aside from the few vague words she'd said when she'd first arrived at the office, Sheng Li didn't really know anything about her. Wasn't this... wasn't this just a trap for her?
Now that they were together, they shared the success and failure together, and if things went wrong, she couldn't get away with it.
He quickly nudged her lightly with his elbow.
No matter how fast the adjustment is, it cannot escape the eyes of the leaders. It is no exaggeration to say that what they have experienced and seen is worth the salt that ordinary people have eaten. A person's eyes can reveal a lot.
Such trivial matters will naturally not be taken to heart or nitpicked. Instead, the superior will be considerate of the subordinate: "Xiao Li, you have worked hard. Remember to rest after your work today."
But the work ability is already discounted in the first impression.
Shen Qiang added another sentence.
"Today is a joint inspection by all departments, aimed at nipping any problems in the bud. It's hot and everyone's working hard, but we still have to ensure quality and quantity. Every move we make at an international competition reflects the capabilities and image of our nation, and we can't afford even the slightest mistake in such a formal setting."
Everyone nodded and applauded.
This passage represents the overall attitude and purpose of the subsequent inspection.
Li Yiyan smiled and nodded vigorously at this moment, as if she agreed with what was said, but she knew that this was a subtle warning to her... She had messed up again.
Her nude nails were almost digging into her flesh because she was clenching her fists so tightly, and she could feel the pain.
But she still subconsciously looked for Zhou Junheng. She still couldn't do well in her reunion with the man, and he was still the one who stood out from the crowd, like an exceptionally straight and stiff poplar.
Although Li Yiyan's smile was forced, she was still happy because she did not make a mistake in choosing the right person. The person she liked was still the best and most outstanding one.
After eight years, he did not become lost in the crowd or decline, but became even more outstanding!
And she was already standing very close to him.
So what if he is married? Family marriage has no emotional basis.
She and he had been classmates for four years, and she had loved him for so many years. How could he not have her in his eyes?
In the past, she felt inferior because her orphan family background was too difficult to talk about, but now she has made it to the top through her own efforts. They have every chance!
Thinking of this, Li Yiyan's heart seemed to calm down a little... Everything in the past taught her that everything depends on human effort. So now that she is back, she should take back everything that belongs to her! Including Zhou Junheng!
