Huo Qinian still sat there, not moving.

Until this moment, he finally realized that he had made a very serious mistake, a mistake that could even be called fatal for negotiations - he had pre-set the wrong bottom line for Su Yunbai.

Sitting at the negotiation table, you must defend your position with confidence and justification; when listening to the other party's reasons, you can only listen to half of them - this is the experience Huo Qinian has accumulated from so many business negotiations.

But there is a prerequisite here. As the person in control, you must clearly know where the other party's bottom line is. Otherwise, once the posture is overdone, toughness may turn into offense, and the negotiation will collapse.

If divorce is compared to a high-voltage line, Huo Qinian always thought that Su Yunbai's bottom line was still within the high-voltage line, and what he had to do was to give her enough reasons to make her as far away from this high-voltage line as possible.

But he didn't expect that from the beginning, Su Yunbai crossed that high-voltage line - she really wanted a divorce.

He presupposed the other party's bottom line wrongly, so the reasons he used to persuade her not only seemed forced, but even had the opposite effect.

It was he who pushed her further and further away.

Huo Qinian looked at the furious Su Yunbai, and his heart was chilled.

This is a feeling of watching something cherished completely collapse. It is a disaster, it is like being at the bottom of an abyss.

At this moment, he couldn't even mobilize his reasoning. He just felt his mind was blank. He behaved like a rookie who was refuted for the first time at the negotiation table and was at a loss.

Huo Qinian's silence seemed like silent resistance to Su Yunbai.

She became even more irritated: "What do you mean? Mr. Huo! Mr. Huo! It's just a divorce, what's the big deal? Can you be more straightforward?

"Like this. If you can't accept that Mr. Huo will be divorced one day... If you can't save face, then the fault is all mine, okay?

"My face is worthless for a commoner like me. I'm the one who got divorced, and you're still the arrogant Mr. Huo. Is this all right?"

Huo Qinian finally came to his senses.

He took a breath, "Yunbai, don't think of me as such a despicable person. I'm not that bad at not being able to afford to lose." He

knew in his heart that the situation was over.

People have a rebellious mentality, and for some things, the more you push them, the more counterproductive they will be.

Now it's not about what he wants, but what Su Yunbai wants.

Huo Qinian looked at her, "Divorce... I agree. But give me some more time, I don't have all the documents..."

Su Yunbai's face changed all of a sudden.

Huo Qinian's heart twitched, but he managed to keep it together: "I was in a hurry to go out today..." He wanted to say that he went to A Garden very early today to wait for her... But such an explanation would only further anger her, and would have no effect.

He simply didn't mention it, "Anyway, it's my fault. Please give me a little more time so that I can prepare everything."

The veins on Su Yunbai's forehead jumped: "I told you yesterday that you really didn't take this matter seriously!"

But things have come to this point... Su Yunbai took a deep breath, "Mr. Huo, you can't suddenly have an important meeting while you're going back and forth to get the documents, right?"

Huo Qinian was silent, "I'll call the lawyer now and ask him to prepare the documents... I'm here, I won't run or hide."

Su Yunbai looked at him expressionlessly.

Huo Qinian made a call in front of her, and after hanging up, he saw her look of relief, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but say, "Yunbai, in your eyes, is my reputation so bad?"

"Mr. Huo, don't ask such personal questions, and don't make such an expression." Su Yunbai still had a blank expression on his face, "This is too human, and it's not what Mr. Huo should show."

Huo Qinian was choked.

He rubbed his eyebrows, and felt that his smoking addiction was coming back, and it was very severe.

After a long silence, Huo Qinian couldn't help but speak again: "I know that in your eyes, I may be unforgivable... At least in the current situation... I may really be a little too self-righteous.

"After this incident, I will think carefully about what happened during this period... It should be my responsibility, and I will not avoid it. "

"Don't. "Su Yunbai was indifferent," Mr. Huo, don't bow your head, or the crown on your head will fall off. Don't give in, or the image of 'Mr. Huo' will collapse..."

She paused and continued, "Please continue to be proud, continue to be self-righteous, and continue to do your own thing. If you change easily, wouldn't my four years be like a joke?"

Huo Qinian closed his eyes, as if he had been slapped in the face.

What he found hard to accept was that at that moment, he didn't even know whether Su Yunbai was mocking him or really believed it.

Huo Qinian couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Maybe I... never understood you. "

He has always known that she is tough, calm, rational, and open in her actions. But it turns out that she has this side where every word she says is sharp and hurts without shedding blood. A

mocking smile appeared on Su Yunbai's lips.

How rare. After knowing each other for four years and being married for three years, the husband told his wife that he might never understand her.

"That must not be your fault. You should blame me for being too hard to understand. To be more shameless, if someone in the world wrote a book like "Biography of Su Yunbai", the literary world might have to study me like they studied "Dream of the Red Chamber", and maybe they would have to establish something called "Su Studies"...

"I am just that hard to understand!"

Huo Qinian closed his mouth.

He was not afraid of Su Yunbai's cold face, but he was afraid that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, which would make his already pitifully low impression score drop even further - if there is such a thing.

No matter what, divorce is never the end for him. So even if there is only a slight possibility, he should try his best to hold the cards in his hand.

Most things in this world may be like this: the preparation stage is a long tug-of-war, so long that you will almost lose your patience and feel that you may never make it to the end.

But the real final step seems unexpectedly short. So short that compared to the long process, the result comes too quickly and seems too light.

Divorce is like this.

After Huo Qinian's lawyer brought the necessary documents, the entire divorce process actually took less than ten minutes in total.

Su Yunbai even felt that it was not real when he got the newly-issued divorce certificate.

She spent four years loving someone, another four years accumulating enough disappointment, and more than a month to negotiate a divorce, but it took less than ten minutes to actually get the divorce signed.

Ten minutes later, she would live a different life from then on.

Huo Qinian stared at his divorce certificate with a gloomy look in his eyes.

To this day, he actually couldn't remember how he felt when he got married that day. To him, the marriage certificate was just a rigid document.

But compared with the divorce certificate, the marriage certificate was undoubtedly too perfect and too shiny. This perfect and shiny feeling came too late, so that just looking at it, he felt a deep and heavy regret in his heart.

Su Yunbai came to his senses first, put the documents and certificates in his bag, and turned to go downstairs.

Huo Qinian was a beat slower and followed her.

They went downstairs and out the door.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and it was a rare sunny day.

Huo Qinian stopped unconsciously. But

Su Yunbai did not stop.

There was a long staircase at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The midday sun came from behind, part of it was blocked by the building, and the other part spread freely on the stairs. So the whole staircase was half in the shadow and half in the sun.

Su Yunbai walked down step by step.

The long staircase brought her from the shadow to the sun. Her steps became faster and faster, as if she had broken free from the shackles, and there was a sense of relief all over her body.

Huo Qinian stood in the shadows, looking at Su Yunbai's back, and suddenly thought of the day she moved away from Lianshan a month ago.

Different scenes, similar Su Yunbai - she never looked back. The difference was that she walked into the rain that time, and this time, she walked into the sunshine.

She was walking farther and farther.

Huo Qinian felt panic for no reason.

He subconsciously called her: "Yunbai? Yunbai? Yunbai!"

One after another, as if he was unwilling to stop.

Su Yunbai had already walked quite far, but the person behind her seemed to be in a fight with her, shouting louder and louder.

Su Yunbai turned back impatiently and looked at him across a staircase.

What the hell is going on?

Huo Qinian breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't say anything, just looked at her.

Su Yunbai ran out of patience and turned away.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Su Yunbai went to Linghang Technology again.

Today was a good day to say goodbye to the past, and she decided to complete the resignation procedures today.

Su Yunbai got along very well with everyone at Linghang Technology. When she wanted to resign, everyone at Linghang Technology was reluctant to let her go, and no one made things difficult for her.

The entire R&D department, especially the second R&D department, was brought up by Su Yunbai herself, and they were the most loyal of the loyal. As soon as Su Yunbai said she was going to resign, her colleagues who were used to the procedures went through the process themselves without her having to do it themselves.

It was lunchtime, and many people gathered around Su Yunbai. Some asked her about her appendicitis, some asked her about her future plans, some recommended traveling and fitness to her, and some even shared their years of book and movie collections...

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Su Yunbai half leaned on a computer table, looking at her colleagues with a very relaxed smile on her face: "Okay, stop worrying about my business. Each of you has a rich after-school life! Even so, it seems that I was not ruthless enough."

"Oh, I was careless! I didn't even notice this."

"Minister, please show some mercy! We have walked at least 900 miles in this long march of a thousand miles, right? Minister, you should be able to relax and work hard!"

At this point, Su Yunbai couldn't help but suffer from occupational disease again: "Didn't you say that the art design of the software should be optimized before? Has it been optimized?"

No one present thought that she was too nosy, and answered naturally: "It has been optimized. We have made a new version, and the art team has worked overtime for two days."

"Then everything should be almost done. Is there a plan for the Beta test? Minister Gong..." Su Yunbai was halfway through his speech when he finally reacted and laughed, "Oh, I almost forgot, this matter is no longer under my jurisdiction."

When the beta test was mentioned, the expressions on the faces of the colleagues who were so calm just now were a little strange.

Su Yunbai was very sensitive, "What's going on?"

Before his colleagues could speak, the landline beside him suddenly rang.

A female colleague who was nearby answered the phone. She didn't know what the other party said, but her face suddenly fell, and it was getting uglier and uglier.

"Yeah, yeah, got it, OK."

After hanging up the phone, the female colleague looked at Su Yunbai with a worried look, "Minister, the General Manager Liu from the head office wants you to go to her office, saying that there is a problem with your resignation procedures."

"Impossible!" It was another deputy minister who said this, "I personally supervised the procedures, how could there be any problems? This General Manager Liu..."

The deputy minister looked at Su Yunbai, hesitant to speak, "Minister, this General Manager Liu... In short, her approach is not right. Why don't you go directly to Vice President Zhang?"

Su Yunbai stood up straight.

She didn't think too much about it at first, but her colleagues' words reminded her.

The "General Manager Liu" mentioned by everyone is the interim general manager. A week ago, this "General Manager Liu" was just Assistant Liu.

Assistant Liu took the salary from Huo Qinian, but she handled matters related to Mrs. Huo.

In other words, she used to be Su Yunbai's personal assistant.

Assistant Liu has always been dissatisfied with her.

Times have changed, and she, Mrs. Huo, has abdicated, but the former personal assistant has been promoted.

So, this "General Liu" wants to come to her old employer with a new identity and experience the thrill of being a new official?

Su Yunbai even thinks that she is a little mean-minded - Assistant Liu should not be so naive?
