I sighed and said self-deprecatingly, "I've had enough setbacks with women. I really don't want to suffer and cause trouble for myself anymore."
She raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look of insight in her eyes, and said softly: "You really live up to the saying 'once bitten by a snake, you're afraid of the rope'. I want to help you out of kindness, but as for what to do in the end, it all depends on your own decision."
I slowly raised my head and looked straight at her, with a hint of inquiry and vigilance in my eyes: "Why are you so kind to help me? What is the reason behind this?"
She took off her sunglasses without hesitation, her eyes clear and firm, looking me in the face without hesitation, and said word by word: "I just can't bear to see a person who still has a conscience being destroyed by those with evil intentions. I don't want to see such a tragedy happen."
Regardless of whether her answer really convinced me completely, at this moment, the sincerity in her eyes was like a beam of light, shining straight into my heart, causing a ripple in my heart. I was slightly moved and whispered, "Thank you."
She became serious and told me earnestly: "Yue Mingyuan will take a flight to Shenzhen tomorrow. When you meet him..."
I immediately understood her concerns, and before she could finish her words, I interrupted her firmly, "Don't worry, I will never betray my friends. This is my bottom line."
She seemed to be lost in her own thoughts, repeating the word "friend" softly, with a touch of emotion in her eyes. Then she slowly stretched out her hands, which were white and slender. I understood and reached out my hand and held her hand tightly. Her hand was ice cold. I shook it vigorously. No need to say anything. Everything is self-explanatory.
After arriving in Shenzhen, I met Lin Fungus as soon as possible. Seeing that the company she controlled was about to emerge and gain glory in the capital market, she could not contain her excitement. She looked just like a happy girl who was about to get married, her eyes full of longing and expectation for the future.
Lin Xun was very considerate and quickly arranged accommodation for me.
Early the next morning, she took me to meet several senior executives of the group and representatives of securities firms in high spirits.
In the conference room, everyone sat together in a relaxed and warm atmosphere with constant laughter. Everyone's face was filled with confidence and joy, and they were looking forward to the upcoming bell ringing ceremony, as if they had already seen the beautiful scene of the company's stock price soaring after its establishment.
It was not known who started it first, but everyone was enthusiastically betting on tomorrow's opening price, and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly heated.
However, in sharp contrast to their excitement and cheers, I felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on my heart. I looked a little depressed and couldn't cheer up at all.
Lin Xun was very perceptive and soon noticed my low mood. She quietly came up to me and asked in a low voice, "Hongjun, why do you look unhappy? Is there something on your mind?"
I tried to force a smile and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing serious. I just took a night flight and didn't get much rest. I'm a little sleepy now."
She frowned slightly and said distressedly: "Then you should go back to your room and rest quickly. Don't stay here with us. Your health is more important."
I nodded, stood up, said hello to everyone, and prepared to go back to the room.
Lin Xun followed me out. In the corridor, she stopped and looked at me with concern. She asked softly again, "Hongjun, what happened? Don't hide it from me."
I hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell her the truth: "Yue Mingyuan is here today, too."
She was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Well, he greeted me before. The company's operation was so smooth this time, and the approval process of the Securities Regulatory Commission was so fast. It was all operated by him behind the scenes. He said he would come here to entertain the relevant people."
I said to her solemnly, "Lin Xun, don't take it lightly. Yue Mingyuan and his people are all big crocodiles in the capital world. They are very resourceful and can make anything happen. When dealing with them, you have to be careful about everything. It's better to be cautious than to be prudent."
Lin Xun raised his head slightly, his eyes showing confidence and determination, and a faint smile on his lips. He comforted me, "Don't worry, I have a clear mind and I know what to do."
I was about to turn around and go back to the room, but Lin Xun was behind me, and in a deeply affectionate tone, he slowly said: "Hongjun, you are the greatest benefactor in my life. It is because of you that I have the opportunity to reach those heights that I never dared to dream of and realize those unattainable dreams."
I paused, turned around slowly, and looked at her tenderly. With a faint smile on my lips, I responded softly, "You were the first person who wanted to promote the company. How could you forget about this? I dare not take all the credit."
When she heard what I said, her eyes slightly reddened, she quickly stepped forward, suddenly threw herself into my arms, tightly wrapped her arms around my waist, gently put her head on my chest, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, Guan Hongjun, you always remember our past so clearly, and those bits and pieces are the most precious memories for me."
I gently raised my hand, patted her on the back, and said jokingly, "You will be the head of the company tomorrow. Who knows, those reporters may be hiding in some corner right now, staring at us eagerly. Aren't you afraid that they will take pictures of you and post them on the Internet, making it the headline tomorrow?"
When she heard what I said, she was stunned at first, and then she burst into laughter, the laughter was as clear as a silver bell. She raised her head from my arms, glared at me in pretend anger, and said, "Guan Hongjun, I'm afraid you will never change your heartless behavior in this lifetime."
I said jokingly with a sly smile, "I don't plan to change it. If I change it, you will think I'm boring and annoy me, right?"
After saying that, I waved my hand in a cool manner, turned around and strode towards the room, leaving only a free and easy back.
