Don't let down the meeting, talk about the good fortune of meeting, it's hard to escape the dilemma
Ai Mu decisively rejected her husband's proposal, "No need, Xue Jiuyue won't be unreasonable. Besides, I can bow my head, but my man will never bow his head."
"Your attitude is wrong. Mr. Qian meant that we can't appear to be forced into admitting our mistakes, otherwise it will backfire."
"I know, I know... I'm so annoyed. If it weren't for you, would I have done this? I thought she was being pretentious when we were in school."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Rong Xu also felt very embarrassed.
"You're already very good." Ai Mu's heart softened as he looked at Rong Xu, but his hatred also grew stronger. "I just don't know what kind of magic potion Xue Jiuyue has fed your CEO Qian."
Hearing Ai Mu say this, Rong Xu panicked. "Please don't ever think that again. I think President Qian is really pissed this time. Not only will my promotion be ruined, but he'll also think I'm a bad person."
In fact, when Ai Mu first said that he wanted to ask Xue Jiuyue for help, Rong Xu did not agree very much, but now that things have come to this, he did not blame his wife.
"Don't worry. Actually, another classmate of ours, Cheng Qing, spoke up for Xue Jiyue in the class group, saying that he was very familiar with Mr. Qian and could confirm that Xue Jiyue and Mr. Qian were innocent friends. At the time, I guessed that Mr. Qian had heard about it, but I didn't dare tell you because I was afraid you would be angry. But I didn't expect Xue Jiyue to really help you get things done. No matter what the truth is, I admire her! I'm just angry. Why does Xue Jiyue always think she's better than me in everything? Isn't it just because she's a little bit pretty?"
After venting his grievances, Ai Mu looked at Rong Xu and sighed helplessly: "Husband, are people really born unequal?"
"Everyone's happiness is different. Does that mean she's definitely happier than you? She's still single and doesn't even have a cute baby. Aren't you better off than her in all these aspects? Besides, do we have to compare ourselves to others? She's your classmate and she's helped me. It's only natural that we should be grateful to her."
When talking about his son, Ai Mu instantly felt that all his efforts were worth it. "For our son, I can endure anything! I must not let him lose at the starting line!"
"Your idea is wrong! There is no so-called starting line. People still need acquired efforts! Because of your efforts, you will become better, enter a better circle, and get more opportunities. For example, appearance is what you care about the most. I have never seen Xue Jiuyue you mentioned, so I will not comment. But I think you are ten thousand times more beautiful than the Chinese wife of the founder of that foreign social media. But why didn't you have the chance to marry him but marry me? Isn't it because you didn't work hard enough to reach that circle?" Rong Xu spoke seriously about his son's education.
"But those children abroad who are born with silver spoons in their mouths are born into a circle that you can only look up to for the rest of your life. As parents, we should strive to help our children enter a higher circle. Isn't there a saying that it takes three generations to produce a noble?"
"You, that's a distorted worldview. I was just using the term 'circle' to illustrate the need for hard work. But true self-realization isn't necessarily achieved through the so-called circles others perceive. You know, every year-end reconciliation, when my colleagues and I toil overtime for days and nights, and I finally hit the enter key and get a perfectly straight result, the satisfaction I feel in that moment is far greater than being a financial director." Rong Xu grew increasingly excited. Perhaps it was a rare opportunity to discuss his spiritual world, which his wife had neglected, and he began to ramble on. "Many craftsmen dedicate their entire lives to protecting a craft; they are the ones worthy of respect and worship. Why do swordsmiths sacrifice their lives for the furnace? Because life, wealth, fame, and fortune are all fleeting and fleeting. Only the spirit lives on in oral memory. There were 350 emperors in Chinese history. How many can we remember? But even if we no longer need a sword a thousand years from now, won't Gan Jiang and Mo Ye still be celebrated by future generations? Perhaps that is the 'circle' they spent their lives pursuing!"
"Look at your silly look, don't worry, I know what to do." In fact, what Ai Mu really likes in his heart is the simplicity of Rong Xu, a technical geek.
Ai Mu was carrying a fruit basket when he met Xue Jiuyue in "Inch by Inch of Time".
"Xiaoyue, I came here today specifically to thank you. My husband was able to get promoted so quickly this time, and it was all thanks to you, Mr. Qian."
"No, I don't want to accept rewards without doing anything. I am insignificant in such a big matter, what use can I make?" Xue Jiuyue was still a little bothered by Ai Mu's slander against her before.
"I understand, I understand. You definitely can't say it directly. At most, you can hint at it, but the effect is remarkable." Having said this, Ai Mu lowered his eyes and continued to spit out the rest of the content hesitantly. "I didn't understand before and had many misunderstandings about you. Now that I think about it, I feel really sorry for you."
Having known Ai Mu for so many years, this was the first time she'd ever bowed her head in submission. It was partly due to the reality of life, but also partly due to Qian Jianjun's deliberate actions. Xue Jiuyue sighed deeply, "Old classmate, that's not the case. Your husband is incredibly capable, and you should trust your judgment! I really wasn't able to help much. After all, a group's CFO is someone who determines the company's future. As long as Mr. Qian isn't incompetent, asking him to intercede will only backfire."
Xue Jiuyue's sincerity made Ai Mu completely let go of his grudge. "Yes, Rong Xu said that to me too, but I didn't understand it at first. I always wanted to take shortcuts, but in the end I realized that the road must be taken step by step. Fortunately, you repay evil with kindness."
"We are classmates. Perhaps we have different hobbies and personalities, but think about it. There are billions of people in this world, and human history spans five thousand years. Shouldn't we cherish the fact that we have the chance to live and work together in such a short life among so many people? We are not people who will be remembered in history. After many years, we will only live in each other's memories. I hope that when that time comes, I can leave you with two words: 'Nice to meet you'. To use the words of that little girl, it's worth meeting you!" Without intending to be too sentimental, Xue Jiuyue pursed her lips at Zhou Ying, who had just brought her coffee and was leaving, and then emphasized again, "But your husband's promotion this time was really due to his own efforts. The most I did was not to have any negative impact."
Ai Mu was very touched and half-jokingly said to Xue Jiuyue: "Xiaoyue, nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you, Ai Mu." Xue Jiuyue returned the bow.
The two old classmates were just like meeting for the first time.
"Xiaoyue, your cafe has unique features, a nice environment, and delicious food. I'd like to organize a class reunion soon, and I'd like to set it here as the venue. Is that okay with you?"
Xue Jiuyue understood Ai Mu's good intentions, "Sure, but as agreed, the expenses are mine! I'm the landlord."
"That's not right. After all, every class reunion is AA, and this rule can't be broken..."
"That's outside. It's like going to your house for dinner. How can I still pay for your meal? And your husband got a promotion. Shouldn't your old classmates congratulate you?"
"Then it should be my treat."
"'Hey there', can we please stop being so formal? It would be hypocritical to be so formal!" Xue Jiuyue finally called out Ai Mu's nickname from college, and the laughter stopped the two from arguing with each other.
The warmth between classmates and Qian Jianjun's silent dedication gradually made the unhappiness that was entangled in Xue Jiuyue's heart fade away.
Although she did not deliver dinner to Liu Che personally, she cooked it herself.
During the conversation late yesterday, Qian Jianjun clearly felt that Xue Jiuyue must have really forgiven him, so at the beginning of the new week today, Qian Jianjun had let go of all his burdens.
"Xiaoyu, what were the e-commerce platform data like last week?"
"The data exceeded our expectations, which shows that our early promotion strategy was in place. The sales data of newly listed agricultural products and some other non-home textile products are also impressive. This shows that our analysis and profiling of the customer base are also accurate." Gu Quyu answered like he knew everything, and only stumbled slightly on some sensitive words.
"You're doing great. I'm reassured with you around. If you have the energy, you can also take care of Xinyue more often." Qian Jianjun first affirmed Gu Quyu and then looked at Tu Xinyue. "Xinyue, your ideas and thinking are excellent, but you still have a long way to go in terms of experience compared to Xiaoyu. You should learn with an open mind."
"Okay, uncle." Although the address remained the same, Tu Xinyue seemed like a different person today. She looked like a good girl and put away all her magical powers.
"You should also help Xiaoyu share more of the burden. From now on, you should take on more of the trivial matters in my daily life, including social events. Let Xiaoyu rest more and don't tire her out. Okay?"
Qian Jianjun's last words were ostensibly addressed to Tu Xinyue, and Gu Quyu knew they were meant for her. She'd had a premonition the moment Tu Xinyue and Zeng Le showed up last Friday, and it was finally confirmed. Overwhelmed with remorse, even the most restrained of emotions couldn't help but spiral out of control. "I understand. It's nothing, I'm leaving now, Mr. Qian."
Gu Quyu's tone was filled with a heartbroken sorrow, which deeply hurt Qian Jianjun. He couldn't help but cry out, "Xiaoyu..."
Gu Quyu stopped and lowered his head, then looked back with tearful eyes.
"Don't be too tired, make sure to get some rest." Qian Jianjun had no choice but to repeat himself in an attempt to cover up his lies which he couldn't justify.
"Thank you……"
Gu Quyu only left three words, and did not mention Mr. Qian. Instead, he used "you", which Qian Jianjun understood.
Tu Xinyue, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand it any longer. "Uncle, you're so conflicted. If you like someone, chase them. If you don't like them, break up. You're being so fussy and abusing others and yourself."
"You don't understand. Many things are not as simple as like or dislike. Not everyone is as free and easy as you. Sometimes I really envy you." Without the drugs, Qian Jianjun felt much more normal, and he didn't think Tu Xinyue was so charming anymore.
"Then you can find someone who is free and easy. There are plenty of women who are willing to throw themselves at you for money. It's simple, quick and worry-free." It was rare for Tu Xinyue not to take the initiative to seduce Qian Jianjun.
"The only thing I can see clearly is that I like Xiaoyue and I want to pursue her. If, for various reasons, I feel so ashamed that I no longer even have the qualifications to pursue Xiaoyue, then I will have lost my only goal and will be doomed!"
"Sure, uncle, you can use everything for your own benefit. But be careful or I'll tell Sister Xiaoyue."
"Do you think Xiaoyue doesn't know?" Qian Jianjun smiled with relief. He was pleased with the tacit understanding between good friends.
"Desire has always been the culprit that interferes with our rationality, and the same is true for emotions! Only after desire can we see our true nature. You are so entangled, uncle. If you are undecided next time, you might as well release your desire first. But be careful not to let go of your 'masts and oars'..."
“Cough cough cough…”
Tu Xinyue's suggestion wasn't wrong, but the double meaning and coquettish voice made Qian Jianjun cough violently before he recovered. "Chinese Valentine's Day is coming soon, give me some advice..."
