After getting in the car, Pei Yuchi leaned very close and helped Xiya buckle her seat belt. This close distance allowed him to smell the faint aroma of wine on her breath, and see clearly her red cheeks and slightly absent-minded beautiful eyes. There were still traces of crying on Shia's face, and her dark eyelashes were trembling slightly.
The tip of Pei Yuchi's nose brushed past her inadvertently, their eyes met, and time stopped for a moment. The young man's cool breath hit her face. Siya was stunned, and her heartbeat skipped a beat unconsciously.
Pei Yuchi was keenly aware of the loneliness and dependence in her eyes, and his usually blue and watery eyes immediately became gentle. He said softly: "You look at me like this, I feel embarrassed." His voice was full of endearment.
Shia looked away shyly, her face turned redder, and she muttered: "I'm just a little dizzy..." She blinked and bit her lower lip lightly.
"Thank you for coming, Teacher Pei." Xia's heart felt hot, she raised her eyes to look at him, then smiled sweetly, and the blush on her face became even worse, "Your support means a lot to me. Big, I'm very grateful!" She lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting small shadows under the street lamp,
He pulled on Sia's seat belt and confirmed that it was in place, with a tone of voice. It was a doting that couldn't be hidden: "You did a good job today. Investors have confidence in Taihao and you, and so do I..."
Shia blushed slightly and murmured : "Teacher Pei, I want to know if I didn't have a boyfriend, would you like me a little bit?"
Her eyes flickered a little. Although she was a little embarrassed, she couldn't help being drunk. blurted out this long-standing question.
Pei Yuchi was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that she would ask this question. He looked at Xia's expectant eyes and pondered for a long time before saying softly: "This is not a question of 'if'. The reality is that you have already I have a boyfriend. I can't think about those empty possibilities..."
Sia's expression dimmed a bit, and she quickly adjusted her mentality and regained her smile: "I am indeed thinking wildly, you don't need to worry about it."
Pei Yuchi nodded, but stopped talking. He understood that he should accept reality, even if it made him desolate and empty.
"Xia, I appreciate your courage and determination when you return to China to start a business. If you encounter any difficulties in starting a business in the future, I will fully support you and provide you with any resources and channels that can help you. . You can think of it as a more solid support than a friend."
Pei Yuchi paused and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't really have any expectations for love, I just envy you for experiencing the dopamine rush. It's so sweet. My calmness is very boring, and only work can continue to stimulate my enthusiasm."
Shia seemed to be really laughing at herself as she listened to him teasing her view of love. I immediately understood his intention. This was an attempt to dispel her budding thoughts. She appreciated Pei Yuchi's rationality. This kind of enlightenment could be regarded as a kind reminder to both parties and a sincere and effective protection for each other.
She nodded slightly and curled her lips: "You are right, I should concentrate on my work. Thank you, Teacher Pei, for always reminding me." After saying that, she turned her head slightly and turned her eyes to the car. The street scene is rapidly regressing outside the window.
In the car, both of them spoke quietly. The neon lights outside the window reflected on Sia's face, casting long shadows. But her mind had drifted far away, quietly settling on the moment in the car.
Pei Yuchi's gentle eyes and smiling mouth kept replaying in her mind. She knew that he must have seen her little disappointment, but he didn't point out anything. He just used such tolerant eyes to turn all her fatigue and reluctance into the warmest comfort in her heart.
Her unspeakable loneliness in this city also broke a glimmer of hope because of his appearance.
She still wanted him to be by her side. She knew that such an idea was too selfish, but shady thoughts would always pop up when she least expected them.
…
Sia returned home and when she opened the door, she saw Oliver sitting on the sofa watching the football game. She shouted in surprise: "Oliver!" Oliver looked back when he heard the voice, and immediately showed a bright smile.
Sia ran over in three steps at a time, threw herself into Oliver's arms and gave him a tight hug. Oliver also put his arm around Sia's waist, hugging her very tightly. Sia buried her face in Oliver's shoulder and breathed in his scent deeply, as if she wanted to make up for the longing she had missed for more than a month.
After a while, Sia raised her head, holding Oliver's cheek in her hands, her eyes filled with tears of joy. She looked into Oliver's eyes and her voice was trembling: "Why did you come back without telling me? I miss you so much!"
Oliver smiled softly and stroked Sia's long hair with his fingers: "I want to give you a surprise, baby. I have missed you so much this month, and finally I couldn't hold it anymore, so I came back early. But have you been drinking?" He smelled the lingering smell of alcohol at the corner of her mouth, and his expression changed. Slightly changed.
So happy!"
"Oh? Really?" Oliver's tone was a little stiff, "So you are with Pei Yuchi?"
Only then did Siya realize that she was She knew that Oliver had always been a little dissatisfied with Pei Yuchi, so she quickly explained: "I swear, it was really the investor who asked to see him. Due to work needs, we are just friends. In the eyes of the investor, Teacher Pei "It's very important, and it's related to the strategic direction after the investment."
"Okay, I understand." Oliver turned around and sat down in the living room, his face obviously unhappy, "Then you. Did you have a good time with Teacher Pei tonight? ”
Shia is following.Behind him, he felt a little panicked: "Oliver, don't be angry. It's really just support at work. The person I love is you."
"Really? Then your feelings for him are pure "Your job?" Oliver stared at her with a somewhat impatient tone, "I see your eyes always sparkle when you talk about Pei Yuchi. Do you think I haven't noticed?"
She lowered her head. I don't know how to answer. She knew Oliver had a point. Indeed, whenever she mentioned Pei Yuchi, there would always be a faint feeling of admiration and admiration in her eyes. But she herself was confused as to what this feeling meant.

But...she already has Oliver. Although they were not always as sweet as love, he had sacrificed too much in this relationship, and she could not let it go so easily.
But this feeling is taboo after all...
She knew that she was betraying her lover's trust, which made her feel extremely painful and remorseful. She had to keep distance from Pei Yuchi in order to let this wrong feeling gradually fade away. But just thinking about that kind of future made her heart throb...
Seeing her delay in speaking, Oliver felt unhappy again: "Forget it, you can do whatever you want. Come on!" He walked upstairs, "I'm tired, go to bed first!"
Sia caught up and took his hand: "Oliver, listen to my explanation. You are the person, and Pei Yuchi is just my mentor. My respect and gratitude for him will not change my feelings for you."
"It has been you all these years! Always stay with me, and my whole heart and soul already belong to you. As long as we truly love each other, no one will affect our feelings, right?"
Oliver paused, he knew that Hope Ya's feelings about herself are not false. But when she thought of her frequent gatherings with Pei Yuchi, a shadow could not help but arise in her heart. He turned around, lowered his head and kissed Shia's lips, as if he was declaring sovereignty.
His eyes softened, he sighed softly, and held Siya in his arms: "My dear, of course I believe you. I was just jealous for a moment. I have seen him, and I always feel that He will be the type of Chinese man you like, so he posed a little threat to me, and I was a little worried. I'm sorry for the angry words I just said."
"I believe it. You." He stroked her cheek, "But I don't like you working with him, so I hope you stay less with him, OK?"
Sia's eyes gradually became blurred, The beautiful eyes were covered with mist. She knew that although she didn't completely agree in her heart, she was willing to accommodate him for the sake of Oliver.
My sincerity suddenly became very tired in this relationship. She was once full of romance and passion, but now she's just tired.
Shia sighed softly and tried to pull out a forced smile.Allow. She didn't want Oliver to see her true thoughts, so she could only force herself up and make her expression look softer and more natural.
"Okay, I understand." Her voice was a little vain, but she still said to Oliver patiently.
On Monday, facing the rising sun, Shia stepped into the familiar office building of the company. Busyness and efficiency are intertwined here as always, and staff in various departments have already entered a new work week.
Pushing open the glass door of the conference room, it was filled with supervisors from various departments. Seeing Xia coming, everyone stood up in an orderly manner. Xia nodded in greeting and motioned for everyone to sit down.
The TV screen on one wall of the conference room has been lit. On the opposite side of the wall is a whiteboard, which is densely filled with various work tasks. The desktop is neatly placed with work reports from various departments, as well as information related to project progress.
Shia took a seat at the head of the conference table and began to preside over the regular meeting. She first briefly summarized the work progress last week, and then asked each department one by one about their work plans and key tasks to be completed this week. Everyone was very focused, reported in an organized manner, and discussed solutions with Siya and other department heads on possible difficulties.
During the meeting, the secretary takes meeting minutes and monitors the progress and completion deadlines of various tasks to ensure that nothing is omitted. When the follow-up of certain tasks lags behind expectations, Sia will immediately ask the relevant departments to propose improvement measures to ensure the efficient progress of the company's overall work.

Her frown fully revealed her inner anxiety and worry. Ni Ke, who was always calm and wise on weekdays, looked unprecedentedly solemn today, which was enough to make everyone realize the seriousness of the situation.
She held a stack of information in her hand, which recorded in detail every aspect of the project implementation so far. She looked around everyone present, her eyes sharp and her voice less gentle than before: "According to the contract signed three months ago, Jiangnan Satellite TV should provide solid technical support to coordinate with the addition of artificial intelligence elements. and display. However, during nearly two-thirds of the project's development, Jiangnan Satellite TV's technical performance failed to meet the requirements - neither in terms of visual effects nor in the construction and coordination of the artificial intelligence system. "The regulations must be kept in sync."
She patted the information on the table and continued: "If this delay continues, the program will most likely not be produced and broadcast as scheduled. Not only will important opportunities be missed, but also It will seriously affect the company's market layout and development plan in the field of artificial intelligence. From a professional point of view, the integration between artificial intelligence and traditional TV media is a brand-new attempt that requires sufficient preparation and investment at the technical level. However, Jiangnan Satellite TV. The poor performance in this key link is disappointing.Doubtful about its understanding and operational capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence. "
Ni Ke frowned and said solemnly: "In this case, I suggest that the company's senior management reconsider the cooperative relationship with Jiangnan Satellite TV, and even directly terminating the contract is within the scope of consideration. Because if we continue to tolerate its delays and inaction, it will not only cause direct economic losses, but also seriously affect the company's market layout and competitive position. The company should consider cooperating with other media groups, or independently develop artificial intelligence elements to enhance the influence of the program. Both options are better than continuing to cooperate with Jiangnan Satellite TV. ”
What Shia had been worried about finally happened. Now the partner seems to be worse than she expected. She regrets why she didn’t take the risk and argue with the group. If it is with Why is there such a big surprise in the cooperation with Maplewood TV?
But now the initial investment has reached tens of millions, and even if it is recovered, the lost time cost is irretrievable. Not only would the group face huge losses, but the entire strategic plan would have to be adjusted, with unimaginable consequences.
Thinking of this, Shia decisively decided to convene an emergency meeting of the entire project team immediately after the regular meeting to discuss and Jiangnan Satellite TV. The key points of communication.
…
There was a tense atmosphere in the conference room, and everyone’s expressions were very serious. The outcome of this meeting will determine the life or death of the entire project. .
Shia held the meeting calmly. She needed to maintain the calmest judgment at this critical moment. "Nike, please contact the other party immediately. You and I will go to Jiangnan with several specific persons in charge this afternoon. Satellite TV, make final communication with them. ”
