"Let's go." Chu Yunxing turned and left without looking back, while Assistant Lu glanced at Jiang Jibai as if pleading for help.
Jiang Jibai pondered for a moment, then strode after him: "I'm off work now, wanna go out for a drink?"
"No, I have work to do."
"What kind of work are you doing in the middle of the night?" Jiang Jibai took off his white coat, grabbed him, and without saying a word, walked out of the hospital and got into the car.
His movements were fluid and graceful, not because he was agile, but because he had been by Chu Yunxing's side for many years, drinking with him.
Whenever he encountered troubles, he would force himself to stay up all night in the office to deal with work, and over time, his health inevitably suffered.
Jiang Jibai and Xie Xing came up with this idea in the hope that Chu Yunxing would be able to get a good night's sleep after drinking.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jibai asked expectantly, "Where are we going today?"
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going home to sleep."
"Didn't you say you saw Bai Wan'er at a bar last time? Don't you want to know why she was at a bar?" Jiang Jibai asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
“It’s her privacy; going to a bar isn’t a heinous crime.”
This tactic was ineffective against Chu Yunxing, and Jiang Jibai sighed helplessly, "Alright, since you're unwilling, I won't say anything more. But there's one thing: don't hurt your body for the sake of emotions anymore."
"Do you think Mai Zi is really not coming back?"
The decisive and efficient Master Yun has never stopped fantasizing in the past five years. He is a materialist who firmly believes that there are no ghosts or gods in the world.
But he would always hope in the quiet of the night that Song Mai would appear before him again with a smile.
Bai Wan'er and Song Mai look very similar, but their behavior and overall style of doing things are completely different.
Jiang Jibai was right. So many years have passed, and I really shouldn't keep dreaming.
He turned to look at Jiang Jibai and calmly said, "Let's go for a drink."
After this day, he will keep Song Mai in his heart and will no longer look for any substitutes or do anything irrational.
In the bustling bar, two people in a private room quietly watched the noise of the crowd below.
Jiang Jibai had never realized that a bar could be so quiet. Helplessly, he put down the bar and said, "My dear Yun, you're not really planning to drink yourself into oblivion all the time, are you?"
“You’re right, the dead can’t be brought back to life. Over the years, I’ve had countless female companions, but they were all because they resembled Song Mai. Now, I want to give up.” He didn’t want to continue searching for similar people and doing meaningless things.
“I understand, but now that you’ve met Bai Wan’er, I thought you would be moved, but I didn’t expect you to suddenly understand.” Jiang Jibai couldn’t help but sigh.
"It's not that I've figured it out, it's that I've come to understand it."
Such a similar face appeared before my eyes, yet it was completely different from Song Mai's.
This realization made Chu Yunxing understand completely that no one could replace Song Mai.
"Since you've thought it through, I won't say any more. I hope that after today, you'll still be the spirited Master Yun you once were, instead of being as cold and unapproachable as you are now."
These are words that only a friend can say.
The next day, after confirming that An'an was no longer running a fever, Bai Wan'er had Ji Feng take her back first, while she went to Yunxing Group to handle the follow-up work.
As soon as I stepped into the company, I saw many people pointing and whispering about me.
Shen Que went to the front desk in the lobby and said in a low voice, "Miss Bai, please come with me. Mr. Yun is currently in a meeting and cannot appear immediately. Please wait a moment, it will be over soon."
"Time is of the essence. This project is already very tight, so let's not waste any more time. Where is the project team I'm in contact with? Just take me there."
Hearing her tone, Shen Que couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "She really is a workaholic, just like her boss."
She arrived first in the small conference room and waited quietly for the project team to arrive.
"wheat?"
A girl appeared in front of her with a trembling voice, looking her up and down.
Another girl, who was relatively calmer, pulled her aside and said, "Calm down, this is Designer Bai."
Shen Que smiled and introduced, "Sorry everyone is so excited to see you. This is Lin Ran, who used to work in the Spanish department of another company and is now a new member of the project team. This is Su He, also a member of the project team. As team leaders, they will be working directly with you from now on."
"Hello." Bai Wan'er smiled and extended her hand.
Lin Ran reached out her hand tremblingly, tears welling up in her eyes.
After a moment, she sighed helplessly and said with a smile, "Sorry, I lost my composure."
Su He also nervously scrutinized her, repeatedly confirming with her gaze.
When she realized that Bai Wan'er's eyes were completely devoid of emotion, she could only lower her gaze in disappointment.
The two people's reactions were so strange that Bai Wan'er was completely baffled.
After Shen Que left, Lin Ran spoke first: "Designer Bai, did you grow up abroad?"
Yes, is there a problem?
"It's alright. We've heard about your deeds before, and we're so excited to finally see you in person." After saying that, she couldn't help but whisper, "By the way, you look a lot like our friend."
"Songmai?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Wan'er directly mentioned this name, and hope was immediately rekindled in their hearts. They nodded nervously, "You know Mai Zi?"
“I had seen her speak about charity before; she was a very capable woman. One of the paintings in my portfolio, ‘Hope on the Ruins,’ was inspired by a photo she took on-site. I had planned to go back to China to see her, but I was surprised to learn that she had already passed away.”
Bai Wan'er also felt very sorry.
The moment I saw the wedding photos, I felt a mix of emotions that I couldn't describe, so I immediately painted this picture.
"I see."
The two of them experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, and once again fell into despair.
Chu Yunxing, who was outside the door, overheard the conversation and concealed his disappointment.
When he saw the picture, he actually prayed that Song Mai had returned.
Things didn't go as planned; after all, there aren't that many miracles in the world.
He walked wearily into the conference room, and said with a smile, "Ms. Bai."
"Master Yun, now that everyone is here, let's begin." Bai Wan'er, mindful that time was of the essence, began to present her plan.
Everything went very smoothly during the ten-minute speech.
Chu Yunxing stared at Bai Wan'er, who was illuminated by the lights, and felt momentarily dazed. He didn't recover until her speech ended.
"Master Yun, do you have any other questions?" Bai Wan'er reminded him.
