Lin Feng leaned back in the chair in the office to take a rest.
Wen Wanning walked in and Lin Feng woke up suddenly.
She took the porridge and said, "Drink some porridge first. You must be tired these days."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Thank you," and then he picked up the porridge and drank it.
It’s just that Wen Wanning has been standing next to him, and Lin Feng also noticed something strange, but he didn’t say anything.
He just drank the porridge quietly, and when he finished it, he calmly wiped his mouth with paper.
Look at Wen Wanning again
She is no longer the Premier Wen who was powerful, calm and elegant in the business world.
She was dusty, pale, with dark circles under her eyes and bloodshot.
Wen Wanning was just about to speak when Lin Feng handed her a document.
"What is this?" Wen Wanning asked.
"Open it and take a look first." Lin Feng said tiredly.
Wen Wanning opened the agreement and saw the first few words of the document.
Equity Transfer Agreement
"What?" Wen Wanning put down the documents in her hand.
Lin Feng stood up and said, "I know that businessmen will not do business at a loss. If you sign now, you can reduce some losses."
Wen Wanning walked up to Lin Feng and slapped him in the face, "So? Do you think our relationship is a cooperation?"
Lin Feng looked at Wen Wanning numbly and nodded.
"Lin Feng, you know that's not what I meant. You understand. Why can't you answer?" Wen Wanning said with a sob.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. That's why I want to let you go. You know this vortex better than me. It's not worth it to continue wasting time like this." Lin Feng advised softly.
"But I do, Lin Feng." Wen Wan's tears flowed down her face.
"Lin Feng..." Her voice was dry and hoarse.
"I can't hold on any longer... either. The Jeannima family..."
"They have teamed up with several old European chaebols to cut off all our upstream supply chains. Their downstream channels have also been blocked by their ultra-low-price dumping... If I don't go back... I can only hold out for two more weeks at most."
"But, I want to stay for you. I am alone in Beijing, bearing the pressure from the Ye family, supporting my company, your company, and our company, and accepting the pressure from shareholders in Europe."
She looked at the extremely complex light surging in Lin Feng's eyes - despair, unwillingness, a request for help, and a trace of... determination to go all out.
"But, Lin Feng, I don't care about anything. Because of you, I don't care about anything."
"Lin Feng, you know I like you. I have always liked you."
"Please come with me, please, Lin Feng."
"Lin Feng."
She took a step forward, her voice choked with an almost pleading tone, yet extremely clear.
"Come with me! Leave here! Go abroad! This place is almost failing, but my roots and connections overseas are still there!"
"If we join forces, we still have a chance to make a comeback! As long as you leave, their firepower will be diverted! We...we can get through this together!"
She took a deep breath, as if she had used up all her strength, looked directly into Lin Feng's eyes, and said the words that had been hidden deep in her heart for many years:
"Lin Feng, come with me! We can start over! Not just in our careers! You... you know what I mean!"
The air seemed to freeze.
The neon lights from outside the window poured in, casting flickering shadows on her tired but still beautiful face.
It is a confession in a desperate situation, an invitation with the temptation to escape, a rope that seems to be able to escape the abyss in front of you.
Lin Feng was silent.
He looked at the fiery, fragile and hopeful light in Wen Wanning's eyes.
Look at her outstretched hand, carrying the possibility of escaping the abyss.
Time seemed to be stretched, and every second was so heavy that it was suffocating.
Lin Feng knew that Wen Wanning liked him, but he didn't expect that she liked him so much, so he was just shocked and felt very strange.
What does it mean to always like yourself?
But he still shook his head slowly.
"I'm sorry." The voice was low and calm.
"Thank you for your kindness. But I can't leave."
The light in Wen Wanning's eyes shattered instantly, like broken glass.
"Why?! Are you staying here to die? Ye Yuanshan will not let you go! The only way out of staying here is bankruptcy and liquidation!"
Her voice suddenly rose, filled with confusion and anger.
"Because this is the root." Lin Feng's gaze passed over her and turned to the huge, cold yet prosperous city outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
"I was born here, I struggled here, even if I die, I will die here. If I'm gone, there will be nothing left."
He paused, his voice filled with an almost tragic determination: "As for Ye Yuanshan...he hasn't won yet."
Wen Wanning stared at him blankly, looking into his eyes.
Watch him reject a seemingly bright retreat and choose to stay on the sinking ship.
Despair was like an icy tide that completely drowned her.
The last glimmer of light in her eyes was extinguished, leaving only dead coldness and self-mockery.
"Why Lin Feng..." She smiled bitterly and took a step back, as if all her strength was drained away in an instant.
"Lin Feng, you are always like this...always choosing the most difficult path..." She gave him a last deep look.
The look in his eyes was complex and contained pain, disappointment, and perhaps a trace of lingering, indelible love.
"Lin Feng, can you do this for me?" Wen Wanning asked, wanting to try again.
Lin Feng asked: "Do you remember the first time we met?"
Wen Wanning was a little confused as to why Lin Feng suddenly asked this, but she still nodded and said, "I remember, it's also in this office."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Not that time."
Wen Wanning was shocked. Did Lin Feng remember?
Lin Feng looked at Wen Wanning's shocked expression. She had guessed right.
Wen Wanning may have had a different time with that "Lin Feng".
This also explains why I felt a sense of familiarity yet strangeness when I first met her.
"You can go now. I really want to thank you for this period of time, Wen Wanning." Lin Feng said calmly.
Leaving the two of them with some final dignity.
Wen Wanning looked at Lin Feng, her heart feeling torn.
The pain nearly made her faint.
There was a sad smile on that pretty face.
Wen Wanning didn't say anything, but turned around slowly, the sound of her high heels hitting the ground.
It seems particularly clear and lonely in the empty office.
Lin Feng watched her back disappear at the door. His hands at his sides curled up almost imperceptibly, then slowly loosened.
He didn't look back.
After Wen Wan Ning came out, she followed Uncle Fang directly to the airport.
Sitting on the plane, Wen Wanning closed her eyes.
Thoughts drift back.
Back, many years ago.
