Chapter 43 Let's run away.
Fluoxetine is very effective for Jing Ge, but at the same time, it also has significant side effects for her.
Jingge only uses it when the physicalization is too heavy.
Xi Zhen prescribed her a new, milder medication, with a very low dosage, to be taken only when she had a physical attack.
Jing Ge didn't return to the Jing family until the early hours of the morning.
Cai Zhi was still awake.
The mother and daughter were in the same room. Cai Zhi's eyes were red and swollen, and she was worried about her daughter.
Jing Ge remained silent for a while, then spoke softly, "Mom, do you want to come with me?"
"..." Cai Zhi stared in disbelief. "Where to?"
“Live alone with me,” Jing Ge said earnestly. “I can support you. I can already manage clients independently. In the future, I will become a partner in the company and open my own studio…”
Cai Zhi interrupted hurriedly: "Where is your brother?"
Jing Ge: "".
Prince Jing is a boy, and the Jing family will not mistreat him.
“He has his high school entrance exam next month,” Cai Zhi said. “What if the upheaval at home affects his performance? You’re an adult, but he isn’t. I can’t just abandon him.”
Jingge lowered his head.
It felt as if I had been plunged back into darkness in an instant.
Cai Zhi's attitude reversed, and she pleaded, "Please, I'm begging you, just bear with it, just bear with it. If you were my only child, I would definitely support you in breaking off the engagement, but I still have your younger brother. Li Kaiji and Sheng Man are both professors. If your brother doesn't get into his desired high school and university, they can give him a better path..."
The effects of the medication haven't worn off yet.
Jingge thought he had managed to improve his mood with Xizhen, but it turned out that nothing had changed and he was still numb.
They all have important people in their lives.
They all have their own important choices.
But Jingge is not an option among their important choices.
She doesn't even qualify as a filler multiple-choice question.
“Gege, please speak,” Cai Zhi said anxiously. “It doesn’t matter if Li Zhan curses his parents, let him curse. The family company and Baylor’s studies are just one step away from completion. We can’t let things fall apart now. We absolutely cannot let anything happen now.”
Jingge shrank under the covers, turning the back of her head towards her.
It takes a long time.
The night was gloomy, and the chirping of insects was faint in the grass by the corner of the wall.
Cai Zhi pleaded with her repeatedly to make a statement.
Jingge closed his eyes, a mournful cry escaping from the depths of his heart: "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, go to sleep."
-
Jing asked Amanda for a business trip during his vacation.
Long distance.
She traveled from place to place, and even when she occasionally passed through Haishi, she was always in a hurry and never stopped for a moment.
Work takes up 100% of her time.
Jing Beile took the high school entrance exam in June.
July marks Jingge's 21st birthday.
Grandma Jing's birthday is in August.
Jingge never came back.
She seemed to have abandoned everything in the city.
Jingge bought another mobile phone and got a new number for work-related communication.
Her personal phone number is always switched off.
She doesn't answer any calls that aren't related to work.
In September, Jingge went directly from another city to an international exhibition.
In October, Jingge received an email from a client.
It was the customer of the container she was personally in charge of.
The customer pointed out some flaws in the goods in the email, and their words were quite impolite.
Jing Ge frowned.
Open the new email.
The new email was from this customer, and the tone was completely different from the previous one, becoming very enthusiastic. It pointed out that five items in this batch were selling very well, and he wanted to place an order specifically for those five items.
Each style has five large cabinets.
Jing Ge was almost scared out of his breath by the foreigner's heavy breathing.
The customer's deposit has been transferred to Womei.
Zhang Hong and Amanda opened champagne for her remotely.
Jingge needs to be in charge of these containers herself; she should go back to China.
On the eve of his return to China, Jingge tossed and turned, his anxiety a constant companion that even medication couldn't alleviate.
But Xi Zhen is right. When she was a child, she had no choice but to skip grades, which was more of an escape.
She had never truly faced it, so she was always afraid.
Even as she grew up, she remained afraid.
Whether it's skipping a grade, going on a business trip, or going abroad, it's all a form of escapism. The problem won't resolve itself just because she temporarily leaves.
She has to face it.
Jingge, you've grown up.
We can face it now.
-
Back in Hai City, Jing Ge went to the company without making a sound.
On her way to the office, she attracted countless glances. Her former colleagues, who had sided with Anna, smiled broadly and said enthusiastically, "You're back! I have some fruit here; I'll wash it and get you a couple later."
Jing Ge nodded his thanks.
Mei Ying rushed over and pulled her to a corner: "You're finally back! Let me tell you, your grandma has come to the company and caused trouble several times..."
“Xiao Mei,” Amanda appeared out of nowhere and said seriously, “I have work to discuss with Jing Ge, so let’s not gossip.”
Mei Ying quickly shut up.
Jing Ge squeezed her hand: "Let's have dinner together after get off work."
Mei Ying nodded quickly.
Upon arriving at Amanda's office, Jingle spent half an hour giving a work report and handing her the new order he had signed at the international exhibition.
Amanda glanced at it briefly: "You're in charge, your client."
"..." Jing Ge paused, "...too many..."
“Isn’t it better to have more?” Amanda said irritably. “Turkish clients are high-quality goods. Keep them for yourself, and if you’re too busy, I’ll assign you an assistant.”
Jing Ge was silent for a moment: "I got promoted?"
Amanda: "Anna got fired, you'll take her place."
"......"
“Don’t think you’re getting in through President Li’s connections,” Amanda said with a keen eye. “The company has been relying on old clients for two years straight, and all the new clients were developed after you joined. Old hands are not as energetic as fresh blood. They’re afraid you’ll run away with the clients if they don’t promote you.”
Jingge was amused by her.
Amanda calculated the time: "It's been a year and a half since I joined Womei."
Jing Ge nodded.
“Your promotion wasn’t particularly fast,” Amanda said, bowing her head to sign. “You’re a bit worse off than me.”
Jingge couldn't help but laugh out loud and gave her the gift he had brought.
Amanda accepted the gift and waved, "Alright, go check out your new workstation. If you want to ask anything, gossip-loving Mei."
Jingge swallowed the question she wanted to ask.
I finally got to leave work.
Mei Ying couldn't wait to pull her out the door.
“I drank a bowl of fermented rice wine before leaving get off work, so I can’t drive, right?” Mei Ying’s family bought her a Golf for transportation. “You drive it. There’s a new shop nearby, let’s go try it.”
Jingge can drive, but he's not very skilled and was quite nervous the whole way.
Fortunately, the new store is not far away.
But parking became a problem.
Mei Ying went down to help her direct, using hand gestures: "Back up, turn a little to the right, back up, straighten, back up..."
Jingge followed her instructions and fell backward.
Mei Ying was still saying, "Pour, pour..."
"Bang—" Jing Ge's nerves tightened.
Why are you still tipping over? What have you bumped into?!
Mei Ying then murmured, "It's... over."
Jing Ge: "".
His cheeks were about to burst.
"We're doomed," Mei Ying's fingers trembled. "Look at that car, what kind of car did we crash into? And why does that little sign that's standing up look so expensive?"
Jingge looked at the car logo that had been hit.
"Not expensive."
“Oh,” Mei Ying said thankfully, “that’s great.”
Jing Ge: "Let's make it five or six million."
Mei Ying: "......"
Jingge stared at the familiar car: "How about we run away?"
Mei Ying: "".
