Is it because of him?
"Qiyue, I'm sorry, I didn't know before."
Qi Yue shook her head and said nothing.
"This time, believe me. I won't leave you. I'll spend the rest of my life making up for it."
"You don't owe me anything, and there's no need to make amends. Everything that happened between us was entirely sincere. Since it was all voluntary, there's nothing I owe you."
"After today, go back. The people who love you are waiting for you. Of course, there are also people you love. Don't be childish anymore. People always have to look forward."
Qi Yue suddenly felt that today's hot pot was a little salty for some reason, but she didn't feel like drinking water either.
Qi Yue took out a bottle of star paper from her bag.
"This, I'll give it to you!"
"This is the sky full of stars you said you would give me last time."
"Yes, and the game coins from our first trip to the arcade. I'm giving them all to you. You can keep them as a souvenir or as trophies. Anyway, they exist because of you."
Lin Lei held the heavy bottle in his hand, feeling indescribable bitterness in his heart. The mixed feeling made him speechless for a moment.
"Okay, I've done my duty as a host. It's getting late, so I have to go."
After saying that, Qi Yue picked up her belongings and the receipt on the table, waved her hand, turned around and left in a leisurely manner.
Maybe it was the heat from the hot pot that blinded Lin Lei's vision, and he couldn't see the person who left clearly.
"Hello, number four, checkout."
Qi Yue, who is leaving, cannot describe her mood at the moment. It is a little heavy, but also very relieved. This is a farewell to her past self and a release from the past years. At the same time, it is also a memorial to her youth. These are all pasts that can never be returned to.
"I, Lan Qiyue, will live a colorful life just to please myself."
Because he was absent-minded, he did not notice the figure behind him. Just as Qi Yue walked out of the square gate, a familiar force grabbed his shoulders and pushed him forward.
Qi Yue looked up and the feeling that the person in front of her was her sweetheart was self-evident.
"Why are you back?"
"Because I miss you."
While speaking, he put his coat on Qi Yue.
"Why don't you wear more clothes? It's just the beginning of spring and it's still very cold."
"I came out in a hurry and was careless."
"Oh, who are you meeting that can make the procrastinator so anxious?"
Qi Yue looked around, but there was no seasoning store nearby, so where did the strong smell of vinegar come from?
"It's a boy I once liked."
Once, not now, nor later, it is the past tense.
"Oh, now, now I don't know who I like."
Qi Yue stood opposite Yi Shiwu, stood on tiptoe, opened her eyes wide, and looked at the person in front of her.
"I like you. You are my favorite now and you will be my favorite in the future."
As soon as the words fell, a warm feeling was branded on the forehead. It was a familiar feeling and a familiar smell.
Looking at Yi Shiwu in the night, Qi Yue wondered why the man in front of her was so handsome. She stood on tiptoe again and, taking advantage of the man's unpreparedness, lightly touched his lips.
After doing something bad, you must run away as soon as possible. Qi Yue did the same because she felt guilty and more of a girl's shyness.
"Slow down and watch the road."
Yi Shiwu reacted and caught up.
How can a girl be allowed to take the lead in such a matter? It's really ungraceful. I have to say, the timing was pretty good.
The two people were laughing and joking, not noticing that not far behind them, there was a person watching all this with a lonely look.
"Leader, is it because of him?"
Lin Lei held the star bottle representing "the end" in his hand and looked up at the sky. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and he could not see anything in the sky today.
"Could it be that we really can't go back?"
Xinghai City.
"Fifteen, I'm not trying to embarrass you, brother. Look, we agreed that you would be my chief designer and I would act as a matchmaker for your studio. We both had this written down in black and white."
"Mr. Wan, you're right, but we didn't say we had to start two projects at the same time. This is beyond human capacity."
"Is it that it's beyond human power, or is it that there's something wrong unilaterally with you, Mr. Yi?"
"Mr. Wan, time is indeed a bit tight. How about you choose another designer from among all the designers in our studio?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zou Muchu proposed a plan that he thought was feasible and hoped that the other party would accept it.
At this moment, Mr. Wan acted like a complete businessman, and the light in his eyes was full of the word "profit".
"Xiao Chu, we've been partners for so many years, you know my temper. I can't accept unilateral breach of contract in business."
"Yes, Mr. Wan, we didn't say it was a breach of contract, it's just that the timing is indeed difficult."
The construction of the resort and KTV were both scheduled to begin in April. Not to mention the distance between the two locations, the selection of the chief designer alone was already a big problem. Mr. Wan was a stubborn and rule-abiding person, while Yi Shiwu was a designer with a very unique personality. It was difficult for Zou Muchu, who had to work hard to deal with both sides.
Today is the fifth day since Yi Shiwu came out, and he finally got together with General Wan to discuss the follow-up issues. Rather than saying that there is an imbalance in time, it is better to say that General Wan is deliberately avoiding it. It is not that he is deliberately making things difficult, but in the eyes of businessmen, interests are above everything else.
"Then, Mr. Wan, if that's the case, let's take legal action. I'm personally in breach of contract, and I'm truly sorry."
After saying that, he stood up, apologized to General Wan, and bowed slightly.
"I have something else to do, so I'll excuse myself first."
The two confused people were left there, looking at each other.
"Xiao Chu, tell me, tell me, this kid, after all these years, still has such a bad temper. Am I making things difficult for him? If I were, I wouldn't be able to see you today."
It can be said that Mr. Wan’s anger has reached the top of his head and he is about to be unable to suppress it.
"Boss Wan, calm down. He hasn't always been like this."
"Only you can work with him for so many years, even after graduating for so long, and still be like this."
"Boss Wan, you've seen us all along the way, from the initial two of us to the studio that's now taking shape."
"I know it's not easy for you. Unlike me, you're not just thinking about making money. But as a businessman, isn't my goal to make a profit? He even puts on airs and I can't say anything."
"Boss Wan, wasn't it he who designed your first KTV? You may not know his temper, but we know you care about us and think of us when you have any good projects. We are well aware of that."
Yao Shengli glared at Zou Muchu, obviously satisfied with the current situation.
"Mr. Wan, we are the ones who breached the contract this time. We acknowledge this and will follow the contract. You also have partners, so even if you are biased, we cannot make things difficult for you."
Mr. Wan looked at Zou Muchu again. When he was in the most difficult time, he couldn't find a suitable designer. It was not so much because of the problem of funds.
Due to a lack of funds, good designers were reluctant to hire, and those who were too ordinary were unreliable. It was at this time that Yi Shiwu, a recent graduate, was recommended to Wan Changli by his mentor. Unexpectedly, this young man was able to imbue the product with a unique designer's soul. It was this one design that quickly brought back Mr. Wan's funds and rapidly expanded the business to include supermarkets, hotels, KTVs, and more. From this time on, Yi Shiwu became Mr. Wan's exclusive designer, a stabilizing force.
However, President Wan will not be lenient this time because of their years of friendship. After all, the company is getting bigger and bigger, and it cannot dominate the market alone. It also has to be responsible for many partners. It can be said that it is difficult for President Wan, who is in a high position, now.
"Xiao Chu, let's do this for now. I'll contact you later."
This is the last effort that Mr. Wan can make as a big brother. We will talk about it later.
After saying goodbye to President Wan, Zou Muchu returned to his hotel room. Because they were special guests, both Zou Muchu and Yi Shiwu would stay directly in the presidential suite of the hotel every time they came. It can be seen that President Wan is partial to these two people.
"I say, Fifteen, what are you doing? Why are you so anxious?"
As soon as Zou Muchu entered the room, he saw Yi Shiwu packing his suitcase.
"Isn't it obvious?" Yi Shiwu said to Zou Muchu without raising his head.
"Can't you be a little softer? Don't you know that President Wan is already under a lot of pressure? Can't you be a little more flexible? I'm not saying that you can't do the resort project."
"I can't do two things at once. I have to be responsible for my designs, and likewise, for my clients."
"Is Mr. Wan your first official client?"
"Yeah, I know."
Seeing that he couldn't explain the reason, Zou Muchu didn't want to pay any more attention to the person in front of him.
"I've booked a ticket, are you leaving or not?"
"What? You're so fast. Is there something important going on?"
"No, I've been out for several days. It's time to go home."
"You miss home. Am I hallucinating? When I was working on projects before, I never saw you so eager to go home."
Turning around, Zou Muchu seemed to have discovered something.
"You miss your family, don't you?"
Yi Shiwu did not answer, but said something that left Zou Muchu speechless.
"So, will you come with me?"
After realizing that the other party was hopeless, Zou Muchu packed up his things angrily.
"Of course I have to go. Otherwise, why would I stay here and wait for dinner with my clients?"
According to Yi Shiwu's guess, if Qi Yue invites friends whom she doesn't see often to dinner, that place would definitely be the first choice.
Watching the train moving slowly, Yi Shiwu's desire to go home was uncontrollable. Perhaps, this is the concern, and also the entanglement of a lifetime.
On the return journey, besides Qiyue, it was General Wan. People still can't have a clear mind. If it really comes to the last resort, this is the only way.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
