Two years later, Lin Feng returned to the capital with his wife and son.
At Fengqing's new product launch, CEO Shen Yunche squatted in a corner playing with the twins, which shocked everyone.
In the center of the banquet, the "mysterious man" was speaking, while Li Mu, Xu Ziheng, Ji Chenzhou and other new leaders listened with bated breath.
The stars are shining outside the window, and the maple leaf logo on the cradle is shining in the light and shadow.
The glittering crystal chandeliers illuminated the dome of Fengqing Company's new product launch dinner as bright as day.
The air was filled with the slightly tipsy aroma of expensive champagne, the lingering aftertaste of expensive perfume, and the weighty, whispered greetings and silent temptations exchanged between the well-dressed people.
Times have changed, but Fengqing is still sailing steadily as the industry leader in Beijing.
At the edge of the banquet hall, there was a clear laughter belonging to children, which was out of place with the exquisite and luxurious atmosphere.
Two little pink balls, wearing soft and comfortable onesies, are stumbling and trying to chase a small alloy toy car sliding on the carpet.
The car was running very fast, causing the little girl Lin Zhinuo, who was wearing a princess dress, to giggle and run after it with her short legs. Behind her followed her equally excited brother Lin Yanzhi, whose little face flushed red.
Half squatting in front of them, Shen Yunche, the president of Fengqing, had put away all the edge of a new business upstart.
His long fingers carefully held the toy car so that it would not run too far.
The look he gave the two children was focused and gentle, and there was even a hint of an almost childish, defenseless smile at the corner of his lips.
That smile was reflected in the eyes of several guests who were raising their glasses and preparing to come forward to chat. They were so shocked that they almost forgot what to do. They looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
Is this still the Shen Yunche who is known for his tough tactics and sharp eyes?
Times have changed silently, and those who hold power in the capital's families have long been new forces.
They are sharp, efficient, and have unquestionable ambition to leave their own mark on the foundation laid by their fathers.
In the core area of the ballroom, invisible spotlights seemed to shine brighter than the crystal chandeliers on that area.
Li Mu from the Li family, Xu Ziheng from the Xu family, Ji Chenzhou from the Ji family...
These young helmsmen, who could shake the Beijing business community with just a stomp of their feet, now gathered in a semicircle.
Their center was the man holding a soft doll - Lin Feng.
He still seemed so...peaceful.
There is no deliberate ostentatious momentum, no aggressive edge, only a calmness like a deep pool.
Lin Feng's gaze gently swept across his children, and then returned to the young faces in front of him who represented the future of the capital.
"…So, breaking through the technological barriers is just a stepping stone."
Lin Feng's voice was not loud, which made the deliberately low voices of conversation around him subconsciously weaken.
His fingertips casually drew several invisible tracks in the air, as if outlining some kind of blueprint.
"The real moat lies in depth and in users. What is visible is the product; what is invisible is the foundation."
He paused and looked at his child again.
Li Mu nodded slightly, obviously digesting the food quickly.
Xu Ziheng put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking relaxed, but his slightly pursed lips and focused gaze betrayed the tension in his mind.
Ji Chenzhou subconsciously stroked the wall of the champagne glass in his hand, as if thinking about something.
Lin Feng's gaze passed over the young and sharp face in front of him and fell on the inconspicuous corner at the edge of the banquet hall.
There, Shen Yunche was gently pushing the toy car to Lin Zhinuo who was running towards him. The little girl's giggles were like a string of clear silver bells, crisply shattering the surrounding glitz.
Shen Yunche looked up, and his eyes happened to meet Lin Feng's in the air. A tacit smile that only the other person understood and that had been through countless storms flashed in their eyes.
Lin Feng retracted his gaze and looked back at the group of young people in front of him who represented great energy and the future. He spoke slowly and clearly, word by word: "The ups and downs of the business world, conquering cities and territories, these are just processes and means."
His voice was not loud, but it struck everyone's heart. He turned slightly and looked at Lin Zhinuo who was giggling because of Shen Yunche in the distance.
"Excuse me for a moment." Lin Feng's voice returned to its usual gentleness, and he nodded slightly to the young helmsmen who seemed to be thinking about something.
He did not go to the center of the noise, but walked steadily towards the huge floor-to-ceiling window at the edge of the banquet hall.
Meng Qing was already waiting there with Lin Zhinuo, who was tired from playing and rubbing her eyes.
She was wearing a simply cut pearl white dress and her long hair was tied up loosely.
Seeing her husband approaching, a gentle and peaceful smile spread across her face. She naturally stretched out her hand, and her fingertips gently brushed Lin Feng's sleeve.
The two stood side by side, like two trees with deeply intertwined roots that had experienced countless storms together.
Outside the window, the night of the capital city spreads out. The lights of thousands of homes are like stars scattered among the world, flickering in the dark night, outlining the warm and solid outline of this huge city.
Farther away, the vast Milky Way stretches silently, and the eternal starlight travels through the long time and space, quietly falling.
Lin Yanzhi had fallen into a deep sleep without knowing when, his small chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing.
Lin Zhinuo lay in her mother's arms, her long eyelashes covering her quietly like butterfly wings, with a sweet smile of satisfaction on the corners of her mouth.
Meng Qing hummed a tuneless lullaby in a soft and low voice that only children could understand.
Lin Feng withdrew his gaze from the magnificent scene outside the window, which was composed of the lights of the world and the eternal starlight.
All the glitz, endless storms, overwhelming power... seemed to be isolated outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window at this moment.
In his eyes, there was only this small harbor in front of him, which was enough to support him.
He stretched out his hand, and his broad palm gently and naturally wrapped around Meng Qing's slender yet strong waist with a protective gesture.
"Let's go home."
He lowered his head and whispered in Meng Qing's ear, his warm breath brushing her temples.
The sound is very soft.
Meng Qing turned her face to the side and rubbed her cheek against his shoulder gently. The stars flowing outside the window were reflected in her eyes, and she nodded silently.
All words are contained in the warmth of this embrace and the intertwined gazes.
The figures of the two left a quiet and warm silhouette in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, slowly blending into the light and shadow passage leading to the exit.
On the edge of the cradle, the small maple leaf logo reflects a warm and lasting luster in the flowing light and shadow, like a silent promise, pointing to the way home under the witness of the stars.
Outside the window, the stars are flowing, never stopping. Inside the window, the lights are warm, and the legend will never end.
"Brother Feng, you will never come back?" Li Mu murmured while standing in the middle of the hall.
A tear fell from the corner of my eye at some point. If it was photographed by the media, it would definitely make the headlines the next day.
"What are you talking about? Can you be more optimistic?" Shen Yunche said from the side.
"Besides, he's not the same anymore. If you find him like him, just go find him."
