Oliver finally got through to Sia this morning. Sia didn't want to escape. She hoped to officially end things with Oliver as she wanted.
"Xia, I...I want to apologize. I shouldn't have told you to break up, I love you! Forgive me for being impulsive. I regret this time. A world without you means nothing to me. Meaning. Come back to me, let's go back to the United States and start over, okay?" Oliver's tone was almost pleading.
"Oliver, I'm really sorry for our relationship. But we have broken up, and I hope you can accept this fact." Sia's tone was clear and firm, and she knew she needed to be clear Only in this way can Oliver avoid misunderstanding again.
"No! I won't accept it!" Oliver shouted excitedly, "You are the most important person in my life, Sia! I know I messed up, but give me a chance to do it again. . This time, I promise to do things right!”
“There will be no chance of doing it again,” Sia’s tone was gentle but sonorous, “We once had good memories. It's over now. We want different things and our directions are different. "Don't say that!" There was obvious reservation in Oliver's tone, "I will do whatever it takes." I'll give you whatever you want. Don't give up on our relationship, Sia, please!"
"We're done, Oliver." Sia said softly, she understood what Oliver meant, and I have loved this man deeply, but this is the truth, "I wish you happiness and take care! Oliver, I accept your apology. But there will be no further development between us. This is my decision and I hope you can respect it." ." Siya tried to keep her tone calm and firm.
Oliver's tone suddenly changed, "So, it's just for Pei Yuchi?" His voice was mixed with anger and jealousy, which made Sia's heart rise to her throat, "Pei Yuchi calculated What!"
"Oliver, that's enough!" Siya said angrily, "The relationship between me and Pei Yuchi has nothing to do with you."
"Okay, then. Don't blame me for being rude!" Oliver's tone suddenly became sinister, which made Shia feel creepy. "If you don't stay with me, I will let the whole world know how your relationship with Pei Yuchi began. ! Let him be unable to gain a foothold from now on, what do you think?"
Sia was slightly startled, she did not expect Oliver to be so unscrupulous. She knew she couldn't give in to the threat, but she was worried that Oliver would really fulfill his threat and drag Pei Yuchi into the quagmire.
She clutched her phone tightly, not knowing how to respond. Oliver seemed to really do something extreme this time, which made her walk on thin ice. At this moment, she felt that the road ahead was dark, and she didn't know what to do...
She looked out the window, the sky was getting dark, and everything around her seemed to have lost its color. She knew that she had just hurt Pei Yuchi and made him misunderstand her feelings.
However, Oliver's threat still lingered in her mind, making her afraid to face Pei Yuchi rashly, for fear of accidentally deepening Oliver's jealousy and making the situation more difficult to deal with.
Pei Yuchi also felt confused on the other end of the phone. He knew that Sia's excuse seemed untrue, but he could only choose to believe it. He believed in Sia and her judgment.
But deep down in his heart, he vaguely felt that something must have happened as he expected. This helplessness made him feel deep pain...
Shia opened the door to the house. , the house was completely silent. The house, once filled with her and Oliver's laughter, was now just hers.
She walked into the bedroom and saw that Oliver's clothes were still hung properly in the closet and his shoes were neatly arranged under the shoe cabinet. This made her heart ache slightly.
She sat by the bed, took out her mobile phone, wrote a message and sent it to Pei Yuchi: "I'm back home, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine. There may be some discomfort during this period. I'm busy, but I will take care of everything as soon as possible. Come back to you. I love you!"
Her casual and frank confession in the message hoped to bring comfort and stability to Pei Yuchi. She needs to let him know that she has enough courage and wisdom to face all this. She loves him and believes he will support her.
She began to sort out Oliver's belongings one by one, and every detail brought back beautiful memories for the two of them. But she understands that memories will eventually become just memories and she must move on.
She felt a surge of relief as she folded the last of Oliver's clothes and placed them neatly in the box. She sent a text message to Oliver letting him know that he could send someone to retrieve his belongings. This marked the end of their relationship.
Oliver said he would come over the weekend to retrieve it himself.
...
Pei Yuchi sat alone at the dining table, the food in front of him almost completely untouched. He couldn't bring himself to eat, and he felt deeply lost and depressed.
Since meeting Xia, his life has lost its former tranquility. She was like a bright sunshine, illuminating his heart that had been dark for a long time. But now, the sunlight has left, and darkness and silence have returned here.
He read Sia's message and only replied with one word: "Okay!"
He knew that at this moment, Sia must be busy sorting out the past that belonged to Oliver. However, there was always a thought lingering in his mind: What should he do if Sia finally chooses to return to Oliver?
He knew that this relationship might be destined to be broken due to various obstacles from the outside world, but he still loved it desperately at the beginning. If he lost it... he really didn't know if he could be reborn again.
Pei Yuchi became more and more immersed in his own worries and uneasiness, and an anxious atmosphere filled the whole house. He knew he needed to believe Sia, but there would always be doubts in people's heartsA little shaken, especially in such an empty moment.
Pei Yuchi felt that he was about to suffocate in this long loneliness. He had to find someone to talk to, even if it was just to distract him temporarily from the person he was obsessed with.
He took out his mobile phone and called Gu Changlin: "Lao Gu, I suddenly want to drink your good tea...?"
"You want to drink it? , there is good tea at any time, and I am just looking for you to chat. Go to the tea house, I will wait for you." Lao Gu's voice was as friendly as ever, which made Pei Yuchi feel a little calmer.

Pei Yuchi drove to the teahouse where they often made appointments. When he arrived, Gu Changlin had already laid out the tea sets and was just waiting for him to arrive.
"A leaf knows autumn, and a cup of tea relieves a thousand sorrows." Pei Yuchi picked up the tea cup, and the aroma poured directly into his heart, making him forget his previous worries and began to appreciate the beauty of this tea.
Gu Changlin smiled and nodded: "A cup of tea is full of aroma and endless sweetness. It does have the miraculous effect of healing people's hearts and eliminating worries."
"Sometimes I think tea has "It's not only good in taste, but also in terms of the leisurely feeling when drinking tea," Pei Yuchi said, "Under the wrap of tea, people's minds also become peaceful. This is perhaps the most precious effect of tea. A short escape from the world."
Pei Yuchi tasted the Pu'er in the cup, and the aroma was overflowing: "This Pu'er has a mellow taste, a long aftertaste, and a sweet taste. It is really a good tea!" Pei Yuchi praised it! .
"Yes, this batch of tea is produced in ancient tea gardens in Yunnan. The trees are over a hundred years old and the annual output is very small. I finally got a few taels from my friends and kept them until I couldn't bear to drink them. What do you want to do today? "Drink it, bring it out specially." Gu Changlin said with a smile, "This tea is indeed worthy of its name. I have collected it for many years."
"Lao Gu, I have to say, you know how to comfort me best!" "Pei Yuchi said happily.
"Haha, you must know that even my wife is reluctant to drink this tea often, so naturally it is your only privilege." Gu Changlin laughed and patted Pei Yuchi on the shoulder.
Under the wrap of Pu'er tea, Pei Yuchi felt a long-lost tranquility and joy. When I am with Lao Gu, whether it is work or life, there is always a sense of stability and joy of returning to the beginning, as if I have found a place where I can relax without restraint...
Pei Yuchi asked: "The cooperation with Taihao Technology will start next week, and I have already started arranging various preparations. The signing ceremony and press conference are scheduled for next Wednesday. Do you want to attend?"
Lao Gu looked at Pei Yuchi with a look in his eyes. Revealing trust and expectation, there was a hint of surprise in his tone: "Of course, this project has gone through twists and turns, and I will definitely attend the signing ceremony in person. And if possible, I hope that the strategic cooperation with their parent company Haotian Group can be carried out in this one And signed it."
Pei Yuchi was slightly startled, he didn't expect it.Lao Gu hopes to advance the cooperation so quickly.
Gu Changlin's surprise was palpable: "I never expected that the cooperation process would take such a dramatic reversal! I originally thought that you were just aggrieved, but the two sides set up a joint investigation team and asked you to accept suspension investigation. Who knew Haotian Group will find that the two parties have strong synergy potential during in-depth research, and now they have proactively proposed to expand the scope of cooperation to the group level, which shows that they have conducted a comprehensive and systematic assessment and judgment on the industrial structure and development blueprint of both parties. It only shows that good things are hard to come by!"
Lao Gu laughed heartily, suddenly paused, and looked at Pei Yuchi with a smile, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "You kid, could it be possible that you have expected this unexpected gain? ?"
Pei Yuchi praised: "I really didn't expect this. Originally, I just followed the trend, but I believe that by working hard, adversity will turn around sooner or later."
Gu Changlin nodded in agreement: "Since they have proposed to extend the scope of this cooperation to the entire group, we are considering how to achieve in-depth integration in the fields of artificial intelligence, content, data, film and television industry, etc., so what is needed now is a more comprehensive A grand and careful plan."
Gu Changlin looked at Pei Yuchi with satisfaction, "You should hurry up and arrange the investigation to Haotian Group. I will personally lead the team and you will personally operate the business. You must stand on the strategic side. Analyze Taihao in a highly in-depth manner, find out the points of convergence between the two parties, have a macro grasp and precise judgment, communicate with Taihao comprehensively and systematically, and formulate a detailed and thorough cooperation plan. ”
Pei Yuchi was convinced. : "A macroscopic analysis of Haotian's industrial situation and development strategy, a comprehensive interpretation of the competitive and cooperative relationship between the two parties, and this as the focus of the investigation. It is also necessary to present a panoramic view of its industrial chain, understand its overall business development, and find out the deep integration of the industries of both parties. This is the basis for achieving true strategic cooperation."
Gu Changlin nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you have grasped the key point!"
Pei Yuchi smiled: " OK, after the investigation, I will communicate closely with Taihao to clarify the level and depth of cooperation in various fields, and formulate a detailed "Strategic Cooperation Development Plan" to deepen this cooperation in a grand manner."
Gu Changlin. After taking a sip of tea, he said with satisfaction: "It seems that you have almost come up with the idea. Hurry up and arrange it. Please pay more attention, break the original thinking habits, and turn short-term cooperation into long-term planning! But I don't recommend this. Expanding the scope of cooperation has delayed things for too long. We have learned from this. Please work overtime and try to come up with a plan as soon as possible. ”
Pei Yuchi nodded, thought for a moment and then said: "I understand, I will arrange to go to the group at the right time to conduct in-depth research, and re-evaluate and confirm the cooperation details and agreement before signing to ensure that a mutually beneficial agreement is finally reached. A win-win cooperation agreement."
After hearing this, Gu Changlin smiled with satisfaction. Pei Yuchi’s thoughts and understanding,It is indeed comforting and reassuring.
Pei Yuchi understood that at critical moments, work is the best refuge.
The two discussed various aspects of the project in detail for a long time. Finally, Lao Gu put down his tea cup and looked at Pei Yuchi, hesitant to speak.
"If you have any worries, just say it directly." Pei Yuchi realized that Lao Gu's concerns had not been completely eliminated. He raised his head and looked at Lao Gu seriously, with a hint of pleading in his tone.
Gu Changlin frowned slightly and sighed, seeming to be considering his words. After a long time, he said: "Xiao Pei, over the years, I see that you have become very comfortable at work. I have nothing to worry about. However, it is the first time for you to face many personal matters, which will inevitably cause trouble." His tone was heavy and cautious, and his eyes were There was a deep look of worry in his eyes.
Gu Changlin smiled and said: "I hope you can keep a clear mind. At this point, you have shouldered responsibilities and perspectives that are beyond the reach of others." Lao Gu softened his tone.
"At this point, I know you are mature enough. But many things in life are very complicated and subtle, especially when it comes to feelings. It is difficult for anyone to remain absolutely rational. If you don't handle it well, , It will not only affect your career, but also cost you your feelings." Gu Changlin's eyes were filled with worry. He knew that this was a difficulty that Pei Yuchi had to face, but it was difficult to intervene.
Gu Changlin's tone revealed deep concern. He hesitated for a while, and then asked cautiously: "I noticed that you seem to be in a bad mood today. Is it... related to personal feelings?"

The tea cup in Pei Yuchi's hand was slightly stagnant. Lao Gu could always see into his thoughts. He put down the tea cup and sighed. Lao Gu's concern touched him and left him nowhere to hide. Pei Yuchi hesitated for a while, but still chose to hide it: "I will go all out at work, and there will be no impact."
