Chapter 75: Cold Relationship
After a while, Xu Mo finally found her voice: "What did you say?"
Lin Jingchuan looked at her and repeated, "Did you ask me to come here today just to talk about this?"
Xu Mo's throat was dry and her eyelashes twitched.
"What else can I say?"
He paused, lowered his eyes and stared at her face motionlessly, not wanting to miss any of her expressions.
What else can I say?
Between them.
"How many divorced couples are unhappy and wish their partner would never be happy again in this life. You are so kind that you can even ask me out and discuss these topics calmly."
Oh, they were once husband and wife.
Although it wasn't long ago, perhaps because she had been too busy recently, Xu Mo felt like it was a long time ago. She raised her head slightly and said, "The news said that you went to Zhengxin Group and became the son-in-law of the Zhang family."
Lin Jingchuan's fingers gripping the white porcelain cup tightened slightly.
He didn't argue, but waited quietly for her reaction.
The woman's face flashed with a strange color, and there was a hint of struggle.
Her arms, which were originally resting on the table, dropped quietly.
What should be the reaction?
When she first learned that Lin Jingchuan would become the son-in-law of Cheng Shin Group after his divorce, she was indeed confused for a while.
Although she could no longer find the sincerity and passion she had for Zhao Tingyu in her teenage years in her marriage, the two of them had experienced many things together. She lost her job, he had a falling out with the Fei family, and they did have arguments, but he was always tolerant and gentle to her.
She originally thought that Lin Jingchuan was someone she could spend her life with.
But his seamless transition made this marriage no longer decent.
Xu Mo's lips moved, and Lin Jingchuan wanted to find some sadness on her face.
But she seemed to have nothing, and even the slight struggle at the beginning seemed like an illusion to him.
"At the beginning, I did blame you. That period was very difficult to endure." Xu Mo said slowly, "But then I thought, you treated me very well in this marriage. We were divorced at that time, and you were free to work wherever you wanted and be with whomever you wanted. Then, the Dudu incident happened. After that, I devoted my attention to my career."
Time seems to heal all scars.
What seemed like a big deal when it first happened, became unremarkable as time went by.
Every word seemed sincere.
She did care about it at the beginning, although it was only for a short moment.
Lin Jingchuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.
It turns out that she also has feelings for him.
If it weren't for Lin Hui's incident, they would have been married for a year now, and her feelings for him would have been even deeper.
"As for why I asked you out for dinner today, a lot has happened recently," Xu Mo said. "Although I'm not a very sociable person, I've started my own business and I've gradually realized the importance of connections. Some things can't be accomplished alone. Ask more questions and listen to more opinions. You might gain something new."
Ever since she witnessed Zhao Tingyu's rapid growth after joining X Capital and the company's plan to go public, she has deeply felt the importance of personal connections.
Choice is more important than hard work. Doing business is not like studying. You can't just work hard. You have to learn to cooperate and leverage.
Lin Jingchuan is also a well-known professional manager in the industry. He has experience and qualifications and there is a lot to learn from him.
The man slowly asked, "So, I'm just your network resource now?"
Xu Mo nodded.
Personal connections and resources, four cold words.
This kind of relationship does not involve any feelings, it is naked and only involves interests.
It turned out that in her opinion, the relationship between him and her was just one of value exchange.
She asked him out to get information.
And he came out to see her? Lin Jingchuan closed his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.
He chose his own path. He made an exchange with the Zhang family for Lin Hui. He was the one who filed for divorce. Why is he complaining about himself now?
Xu Mo asked the waiter to come over and pay the bill, then picked up her handbag and stood up.
She lowered her eyes to look at Lin Jingchuan who was sitting on the chair and staring at her motionlessly. The man's face looked as pale as death.
She wondered if she had hurt him by defining their relationship too starkly.
After hesitating for a moment, she added, "For more than half a year of marriage, you have been very good to me. Now that we are divorced, you are still my respected senior and predecessor."
What she is doing now is her only source of income. She has already gone all in and entered survival mode.
When people have no food to eat, they don’t want to fall in love.
All the past love and hate naturally seem insignificant at this moment.
Lin Jingchuan closed his eyes and sat in the chair without moving.
The seat opposite was empty, the tea and dishes were cold, and the waiter came over and asked him if he wanted some more tea.
He waved his hand, his eyes empty, his handsome face covered with a hint of fatigue.
The formulator introduced to Xu Mo was very talented. After leaving the feed industry, he had accumulated a lot of experience in the pet industry over the years, but he was arrogant.
If Xu Mo went to him directly, she was afraid that she would be turned away.
Edit a long text and send it to the formulator you know, introducing Xu Mo to him.
His fingers returned to the dialog box with Xu Mo, typed a few lines, and finally left only one sentence.
Everything goes well and all your wishes come true.
Xu Mo returned to the studio and packed up the crowded orders. After the courier came to pick up the goods, she received a call.
It was Lu Yan who called. During this period, Xu Mo occasionally contacted him to consult him on some financial and tax matters, and also actively asked him for insights on business development.
Lu Yan grew up overseas. He is enthusiastic, open-minded and happy to share his experiences.
Recently, Xu Mo mentioned to him that she wanted to obtain financing and expand her scale. Lu Yan helped her contact several investors he knew, but her business volume was too small and her work was too simple. She had no core technology and no room for imagination, so most investors rejected her.
She then put the idea of financing on hold, deciding to lay a solid foundation first and not rush into financing for the time being.
"Hi Momo, are you busy?"
Xu Mo said, "I just finished my work, Mike, what's the matter?"
Lu Yan: "I have an investor friend who happened to be in Guangzhou discussing business. He has a dinner party tonight and has about fifteen minutes to get in the car after dinner. Do you want to try your luck?"
Xu Mo was a little surprised, and the extinguished fire in her heart seemed to be rekindled: "Which investor is it?"
"He's from X Capital," Lu Yan said. "He's invested in many companies in the consumer sector before and has his own set of investment principles. I think... you might be a good fit for him."
"..." Xu Mo hesitated for a moment. She'd been facing a lot of rejection lately, and she even wondered if she was really asking for too much. Should she just focus on her small business? After all, success wasn't about passion and hard work, but destiny. Not everyone was as lucky as Zhao Tingyu, securing funding from top investment institutions and rocketing to the top.
However, Lu Yan smiled and helped her make the decision.
"I'll send you your location," Lu Yan said. "Tell him why you did this. Maybe he'll be impressed."
