The Pei Yuchi she met on the plane seemed a little different from the unsmiling Pei Yuchi in her impression. He would also show an easy-going and cheerful side at the right time. This gave Xia a new understanding of Pei Yuchi.
"Teacher Pei, I want to talk to you about the bidding process." Shia suddenly said seriously.
Pei Yuchi put down the book in his hand and said, "Sit down!"
Xia sat down in the empty seat next to Pei Yuchi, looking slightly hesitant.
Pei Yuchi noticed Xia's strangeness and said slowly: "Now both of us have no worries, we can rest assured."
Xia smiled bitterly and said: "The bidding was originally I have always felt sorry for Maplewood TV's failure. The review committee knew that Mr. Pei's plan was the best, but it still chose another company..."
"This is in the past. "Don't worry too much." Pei Yuchi said, "Although we didn't win the bid, we already anticipated the difficulties of this project. You don't have to feel guilty. The success or failure of this kind of commercial project is all within the normal plan." "
After listening to Pei Yuchi's words, Xiya's doubts seemed to be relieved: "Teacher Pei is always so far-sighted, it is a pity that we can't cooperate. "
< p> Pei Yuchi said with a smile, with a hint of understanding in his eyes: "The important thing is not the result, but what can be learned.""Thank you, Teacher Pei, for your understanding." Xiya said sincerely . She didn't expect Pei Yuchi to be so open-minded, which made her favorable impression of this man rise to another level.
Pei Yuchi said with a smile, with a flash of emotion in his eyes, "There will be many opportunities for you and me to cooperate in the future. If you need anything, just ask and I will give my full support."
"This This time I am going to give a speech at the Artificial Intelligence Forum, and the theme is how AI will change the future industry." Xia looked at Pei Yuchi and asked hesitantly, "I wonder if Teacher Pei is interested in giving guidance?"
"This topic happens to be the field I have been studying recently." Pei Yuchi replied, "If time permits, I will definitely go and listen to your opinions."
"Great! I I'll send you the meeting information later." Xiya smiled brightly and asked, "I'm also curious about what kind of activities you are participating in, Mr. Pei. Can you tell me something?"
Pei Yuchi coughed slightly. After a while, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Well, it's an event of CCTV." He moved closer, as if he was afraid that others would hear him and think he was showing off.
With this sudden approach, Siya smelled the woody scent of him that she had unexpectedly experienced during the Youth League Preparatory Meeting. This dense and warm smell suddenly made her heart beat faster.
But Pei Yuchi quickly returned to the normal distance and looked as normal.
"What...can I go with you?" Sia blurted out in excitement and confusion, attracting frequent glances from the passengers next to her.
Sia realized that her reaction was a bit too muchdegree, and then turned to Pei Yuchi, "Can you take me with you? I also want to watch CCTV!"
Pei Yuchi showed a troubled expression. After all, it is an activity within the industry, and it is not necessary to lead outsiders. Is it too presumptuous to enter? But looking at Sia's eager expression, he couldn't refuse: "I can try to get you a ticket."
"Thank you so much!" Sia clapped her hands happily, "Thank you, Teacher Pei, I promise I won’t cause you any trouble!”
As the plane was about to land, the flight attendant reminded passengers to return to their seats and fasten their seat belts. Xia was still immersed in the conversation with Pei Yuchi and did not get up for a long time.
Pei Yuchi noticed this situation and couldn't help but frowned and said: "Xia, you have to return to your seat." His tone was serious and cold.
"Ah, yes, I'm so sorry!" Siya stood up in a hurry, unable to hide the embarrassment on her face. She walked past Pei Yuchi and never noticed the flash of regret in his eyes.
After returning to her seat, Xia realized the change in Pei Yuchi's attitude. The closeness she felt for a moment was followed by the alienation like an abyss in the blink of an eye.
Pei Yuchi also felt the disappointed look from Xia, which made him feel an unbearable bitterness. He has become accustomed to finding a balance between reason and emotion, and even hides his pursuit of sincerity.
Both of them sensed the change in the atmosphere at this moment. Pei Yuchi was struggling between reason and sensibility, and Xia was also vaguely aware of the fetters in his heart.
As the plane was about to land, Pei Yuchi noticed that Xia was standing alone by the seat, seemingly struggling to remove the suitcase from the overhead luggage rack.
He pursed his lips, smiled slightly, stood up and walked towards Sia. Before she asked for help, Pei Yuchi had already taken off the suitcase for her.
The two of them lined up in a long queue to exit the cabin. The queue moved forward slowly, and the passengers behind them started to exit the cabin one after another. Pei Yuchi stood behind Xia, keeping a distance from her, and silently greeted Xia. Protect yourself.
Xiya tightened her collar, which made her inadvertently take a small step back, and her back gently pressed against Pei Yuchi's strong chest. The warm and firm touch made her heart skip a beat, and she could faintly feel the warmth behind her.
Finally, people walked out of the cabin. Pei Yuchi said goodbye to her in a hurry, turned around, and strode away. His back looked a little lonely, as if he had made up his mind to give up something.
Xia looked at his back disappearing into the crowd, unable to calm down. She realized the ambiguity that quietly arose between the two of them during the few minutes they were waiting, and the mutual understanding that seemed to reach its peak at this moment. However, the next second, Pei Yuchi's departure seemed to overturn everything.
The eye contact at that moment seemed to be telling something, and it was also like saying goodbye. Xia didn't know if she truly understood Pei Yuchi's heart, but she was sure that her heart had been completely captured by this ambiguity that seemed both real and illusory.
And Pei Yuchi's leaving figure also made her feel confused, as if something was quietly leaving at this moment, but there was no way to recover it.
The weather in late autumn in Beijing is often cloudy and uncertain.
When Shia walked out of the airport, the cold wind instantly penetrated her thin clothes, chilling her heart. She looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were moving slowly, and the sun suddenly broke through the clouds at a corner, passing across the ground like a misty shadow, and then quickly disappeared without a trace, as erratic as the meeting of eyes just now. .
In this capital city in late autumn, the weather is unpredictable. Between the brightness and the haze, everything seems to appear and disappear with the movement of clouds. Just like Pei Yuchi's figure disappearing into the crowd just now, it only stayed in front of her for a few seconds, but it had already touched her chaotic heart.
The wind is still whispering, but it seems to have changed its tone from before. The wind at this time was a bit more desolate, and what was saturating the air was the loneliness and affection unique to this ancient city in late autumn.
Sia was preparing to take a taxi to the hotel arranged by the organizer. At this time, a new message alert sounded on the phone.
Xia picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Pei Yuchi about participating in CCTV activities tomorrow night. She briefly explained the time, location and precautions. Xia only found out after checking online. It turned out that Pei Yuchi was shortlisted for the "Golden Microphone Award", the highest honor in China's broadcasting and hosting industry. This was really beyond her expectation.
She suddenly felt whether her move was too rash. Even so, she still wanted to be rash once.
Sia was very excited to be lucky enough to participate in such an event. What's even more commendable is that she actually brought an evening dress this time. This was originally just for the speech, in case she needed to attend any cocktail party. Now it seems that this trip to Beijing is full of wonderful coincidences.

After Sia sorted out her itinerary in the room, she turned on her computer and made a video call to Oliver, wanting to talk to him about tonight's arrangements.
After the call was connected, she was stunned for a moment. What came from the other end of the call was actually noisy background music and human voices, and Oliver's figure only appeared for a second or two before disappearing.
"Oliver?" Sia shouted in surprise, "Where are you? It's too noisy!"
"Sorry, the signal here is not very good!" Oliver's voice also It was noisy, like at a bar or party, "I went out with a few friends to have a few drinks to celebrate the project you mentioned... The environment here is really noisy, I can't hear clearly, please wait Let me...!"
"At the bar?" Siya frowned, "We agreed to have a video call?"
"I know. I know, I'm sorry..." Oliver seemed to feel very sorry, "I just completed a project and it was very successful.I'm here to celebrate...I can't shirk it either. "
"Is the weather in Beijing cold? asked Oliver.
"It's cloudy, but not too cold." "Xia said, "I just sorted out the speech for tomorrow's forum again. Remember to watch the live broadcast of the conference tomorrow. ”
“Won’t miss it. "Oliver smiled, "How are your schedule for tomorrow? "
"I just wanted to share with you that after the forum and speech tomorrow, I will go to CCTV to attend an awards ceremony. "Xia said excitedly.
"What's going on? "Oliver was puzzled, and his brows frowned slightly.
"It was Pei Yuchi who took me in. "Xia explained, "Because I happened to meet him on the plane today, I knew he was going to participate in this event, so I fought for this opportunity. I will see the largest and most advanced studio hall in the country. You can tell me how rare this opportunity is. "
"Oh, I see. "Oliver nodded, forcing a smile on his lips, "That's fine, you work so hard, it's good to relax for a while. But remember," his tone became serious, "you are not allowed to fall in love with others. "
"Really? "Xia smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will fall in love with someone else? "She deliberately made an exaggerated expression of surprise, trying to ease Oliver's worries.
Oliver was stunned for a moment, and then also smiled, "I believe your heart only belongs to me. But if that guy is interested, you should be wary! ”
“I know, you are actually suspicious of me!” Siya said with a smile, "I am the one who should be worried now!" ”
“Okay, then feel free to play!” "Oliver said, "As long as you are happy..."
Sia nodded excitedly and said: "I will send you photos then! "
Oliver smiled sincerely, "Then let's talk on the phone tomorrow. Go to bed early and get ready for meetings and presentations! "
"Drink less..." Sia sighed, "You have to be careful! I'll hang up now. It's too noisy. Let's talk tomorrow! "
"Okay, I'm very sorry! "Oliver said, "I will go home early, bye! "
The call ended in a hurry. Sia closed the computer helplessly, thinking that Oliver was used to such a life in the United States. Now that he lives with her in China, he also needs to relax like this occasionally... …
…
In the faint morning light, a white tower rises from the ground, connecting with the blue sky. At the foot of the tower is the conference center of White Tower University, with a huge glass door. The words "Artificial Intelligence Summit Forum" were particularly eye-catching.
Pushing open the heavy glass door, the venue was already bustling with people standing or sitting, talking and discussing with great interest, and the lively atmosphere gradually heated up.
The spacious conference hall is decorated with hundreds of small chandeliers with unique shapes, reflecting jumping light and shadow., adding a bit of high-tech fun to the space.
This place can accommodate thousands of people. Today, elites from all walks of life have gathered, including senior government officials, top scholars, corporate technical backbones, and even several heavyweights from internationally renowned investment institutions. In this forum of unprecedented scale, every participant comes with different dreams and purposes.
In the venue, Sia was communicating with several investors in suits and ties.
She wore a clean white dress, with the waist slightly narrowed at the hem, and her thick hair was tied up high, revealing her white and slender neck line. There was seriousness between his brows, dotted with a somewhat wise smile. The investors nodded frequently, with admiration in their eyes.
Participants stood in the venue chatting in twos and threes, waiting for the official opening of the summit.
In the front hall of the venue, an extraordinary man walked through the crowd. He was wearing a khaki suit, an off-white shirt, the collar was slightly open, and exquisite pearl cufflinks were vaguely visible. As he passed by, he left behind a faint scent of sandalwood.
He stood a little high on the steps in front of the venue. The backlight happened to outline his tall and straight figure. He raised his chin slightly and looked into the venue with a calm expression.
After a while, he clarified his direction and walked straight away. Everyone present looked sideways at this unfamiliar face with a hint of inquiry in their eyes.
It’s Pei Yuchi.
He quickly caught Sia's figure in the crowd. She was talking to several friends in suits and ties, and her figure was like a green bamboo swaying in the breeze.
At this moment, Siya suddenly turned her head, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
Pei Yuchi was startled for a moment, then put on a calm expression and nodded slightly to her.
Shia's eyes lit up, her mouth seemed to say "Wait a minute!", and she nodded happily in response.
Pei Yuchi sat quietly not far away, feeling vaguely curious and indescribably attracted to that gleaming white figure, and subconsciously suppressing his subtle emotions.
He did not want to think deeply about this vague feeling, but instinctively suppressed any unrealistic thoughts.
Pei Yuchi’s eyes became ethereal and indifferent again, like the sea surface in autumn, calm and unfathomable...
