Chapter 85 Dinner (1)

Every time I hear news about her, the deep longing and concern are still ruthlessly stirred up. He understood that somewhere in his heart, he had never really let go of his past with Shia.

As fate would have it, they both missed the best time to spend together at the best of times, but he was still proud of her achievements. This affection may grow over time. As time passes, it becomes more profound and clear.

From the beginning of this relationship, Pei Yuchi and Xia learned how to draw a clear line between love and work.

Although in their hearts, each other's position has never changed, on the surface, they both try hard to put their feelings behind them and focus on playing their professional roles.

In the workplace, Pei Yuchi's attitude is always sensible, while Xia is particularly serious, as if everything is business.

This kind of alienation caused people around them to gradually believe that the past between them might just be an obsession in their youth. What we have in front of us now are just two professionals who are focused on their work.

However, when the two people's eyes met accidentally in the workplace, they seemed to see through each other's disguise. That moment of eye contact seemed to be more sincere than any words. The deepest position still belongs to each other. This most hidden truth may always exist.

When feelings no longer become the reason for two people to be together, work naturally becomes the main way of contact. Pei Yuchi and Xia no longer deliberately avoid each other, but know how to get along naturally at work, which also makes their cooperation smoother and more efficient.

Whether it is a phone call or an exchange of information, the two of them are as natural as ordinary colleagues. Pei Yuchi admired Xia's decisiveness and work efficiency, and Xia could always feel Pei Yuchi's delicacy and thoughtfulness in their work exchanges. This mutual appreciation made their cooperation reach an unprecedented tacit understanding. .

No matter whether it is a big or small matter at work, the two of them will naturally contact each other as soon as possible. This also allows them to get twice the result with half the effort on many issues and achieve higher work efficiency.

Ostensibly, all communication between them takes place within the framework of work. In private, the two never expressed their familiarity and appreciation for each other. This natural relationship allowed them to work together seamlessly, and this extraordinary understanding eventually made them an indispensable part of each other's lives.

But in fact, the two people's worlds have already overlapped involuntarily, and all these changes are just the power of time, quietly returning to the original starting point.

On this day, Pei Yuchi was discussing a new project plan with Xia on the phone, and the two sides had differences on some details.

"This plan is too complicated and difficult to operate." Pei Yuchi said firmly, "We need a more stable plan to reduce the risk to zero."

"High-risk plans can also be ensured by a complete system." Shia retorted, "This time we need a substantial breakthrough, and this plan is the most likely option to achieve a breakthrough."

The two argued for several rounds, and their attitudes were very firm. At this time, Shia suddenly laughed: "We always seem to have disagreements on such details, and the final result is often compromise and compromise. But today, I don't want to compromise or compromise anymore. On this issue , Compromise will only lead to mediocrity, and mediocrity will be meaningless.”

Xia is good at explaining issues thoroughly during communication, and she understands Pei Yuchi’s rigor and stability as a journalist. But this time, she was full of confidence, and Pei Yuchi could really trust her this time.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and she gave Pei Yu some time to think.

After a long silence, Xia couldn't help but said: "Mr. Pei Yuchi, if a person is too strict, it can only mean that he is old!" There was teasing in her tone.

Pei Yuchi laughed hoarsely, "What you said is a bit excessive. I just pay more attention to risk control."

"Really?" Xia's voice was full of joking, "In my opinion, you are just an overly cautious old man who makes a fuss out of molehills and lacks boldness and adventurous spirit."

"This is what I call taking the initiative to nip problems in the bud." Pei Yuchi explained.

"That's what I'm talking about. Preventing problems before they happen is obviously an idea that only an old person can have!"

Shia did not give in, "What young people pursue is innovation. And create instead of taking precautions before they happen. Mr. Pei, your current thinking mode and behavior have transformed into an old man. If you dare not take bold actions this time, I can only say that you are really old! ”

Pei Yuchi sighed helplessly, "No matter what you say, I can't change my personality. But you are right, this opportunity is rare, and we should try boldly. If the effect is good, I promise that in the future I will give you more say in the decision-making. If it fails... I will give you the responsibility and help you smooth things over!"

"Deal!" Siya's tone was full of determination. " I promise you, you will never regret it this time!"

Pei Yuchi immediately smiled: "You are right, we always work hard on the details and then compromise, but this case This is not the way to handle things. Today you seem determined to fight me to the end."

Sia said in a very calm tone, "Don't worry, I never break my promise."

Shia never promises easily, but once she makes up her mind, she will work hard to achieve it. This is what Pei Yuchi admires most about her, her decisiveness and persistence.

Therefore, Pei Yuchi was not really worried. He knew that Xia would definitely take responsibility and do things well.

At the same time, in order to expand its influence, domestic artificial intelligence peers were also invited, with a view to further innovation in the future. More support for cooperation between the two parties.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.

The night is charming, the hotel is nestled in the lush gardens, and the stars twinkle in the dark sky above, seeming to echo the treetops. It was quiet everywhere except for the chirping of insects in the summer night and the whisper of the wind blowing through the leaves.

In the brightly lit banquet hall, the guests chatted and laughed, and tasted delicious food and wine amidst elegant music. The indoor light falls on the wall, like a brightly lit pearl embedded in the dark velvet.

In the center of the stage are two giant three-dimensional logos, representing Haotian Group and Maplewood TV respectively.

The logo of Haotian Group presents a golden sun with a dazzling halo composed of gold wires on the outer circle. The center of the sun is a sky pattern composed of clouds, which means that Haotian Group's business is spread all over the world, and its influence shines on the earth like the sun.

Maple Leaf TV’s logo is more modern and concise. It is a vector pattern in the shape of a leaf, with smooth transitions at the joints, like a maple leaf swaying in the wind. The color of the leaves shows the color of maple leaves in late autumn, orange and red, full but not excessive.

Two giant logos are on both sides, echoing each other, and the lights in the center of the stage make them sparkle. The logos of the two media groups turned into entities at this moment, setting off each other as if they were witnesses of an era, and this grand celebration banquet was like a declaration, announcing to the world that Haotian and Fenglin would start a new chapter in cooperation.

The light and shadow cast by several crystal lamps intersect and sway and dance on the marble floor. Everything looks so harmonious and charming. Guests in costumes were wandering around, tasting wine and snacks in small groups at the booths, or spinning on the dance floor, with unconcealable smiles on their lips.

The air is filled with the fragrance of red wine, champagne and all kinds of food, sometimes mixed with the passionate throbbing and laughter from the dance floor. The brisk piano and violin melody accompanied by the flowing figures created a melodious sound of nature in this brightly lit banquet hall.

The atmosphere at the thank you banquet was warm and joyful. Accompanied enthusiastically by Chairman Zhang Xiuming, Gu Changlin and Pei Yuchi chatted with many big names in the technology industry, but he noticed that Xiya did not appear at the table. This surprised him. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be absent, which made his sensitive nerves worry about her again.

During this period, although it has become very natural for him to communicate with Sia at work, regarding his private life, since Sia did not give a positive response at the last press conference, he has avoided asking, and Reluctant to uncover those hidden scars.

On such an occasion, if Sia and Oliver get back together, according to WestIt was normal for Fang people to attend together. Thinking of this, Pei Yuchi sighed softly, with a bitter and helpless smile on his face.

"Why didn't your partner come?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in Pei Yuchi's ears.

Pei Yuchi turned around and saw Gu Changlin smiling and saying to him: "Xia, as the CEO of the partner, shouldn't be here today."

"Follow me. It doesn't matter to me!" Pei Yuchi's tone changed from his usual humorous tone, "My work communication has always been normal."

"Did I tell you that you are sensitive? What?" Gu Changlin raised his eyebrows, touched Pei Yuchi's wine glass lightly, and said with concern, "There are so many young and beautiful girls, and you don't invite any of them to dance?"

Pei Yuchi knew that Lao Gu was doing it for his own good, but Lao Gu didn't understand his true thoughts. For him, such social occasions are just a matter of completing a task, which is no different from work. After completing the necessary meetings, he finds an opportunity to go back early, and he is done.

Pei Yuchi curled his lips and sighed softly, "Lao Gu, we young people are not all thinking about falling in love." As he spoke, he took a sip of red wine with a slight smile in his eyes. With a little helplessness, "You should know that I have never been interested in these social occasions. I am just here for work. I just need to complete the task."

"Okay, okay, I understand! You are a young man. , Work is indeed important. But you also have to learn to relax after work. Otherwise, how can you experience the fun of young people if your whole life goes by like this?" Gu Changlin patted Pei Yuchi on the shoulder, "Otherwise, you can Are you going to invite Lin Wan'er to dance? She is really dedicated to our project!"

Pei Yuchi smiled calmly, "Director Gu, if you want to thank Lin Wan'er, you can also ask her. Individual ways." After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Pei Yuchi's eyes immediately turned to Lin Wan'er, who was chatting and laughing with other guests in the distance. She was wearing a black evening dress today, her eyes were bright when she smiled, and she looked sweet and delicate.

"You kid, you don't know how blessed you are when you are surrounded by blessings!" Gu Changlin sighed, "Work is work, and life needs some relaxation. Otherwise, you will only be bound by work in the future and never know what else is there in life. There are other possibilities."

"I understand your good intentions, but I am very satisfied with my current life situation," Pei Yuchi said calmly, "I don't have much else besides work now. In terms of energy, I would rather go home and rest. Other entertainment activities and social activities will only consume energy for me. My current attitude towards life is becoming more and more simple, and I don’t feel that I am missing anything.”

"You're right, everyone has their own attitude towards life." Gu Changlin nodded lightly, with a hint of joking in his eyes.

"I just hope your life won't be too boring." He tilted his head, with a faint smile on his lips, "After all, how could Pei YuchiNo one likes it? "

Pei Yuchi was amused by his teasing expression, "I really don't know what makes people like me. I am an old-fashioned person, and my life is so boring that even I can hardly stand it anymore! "

Pei Yuchi and Gu Changlin were chatting animatedly when the lights suddenly dimmed, the music stopped abruptly, and the scene fell into whispers.

For TV people, This is a common stage effect. Pei Yuchi and Gu Changlin immediately turned to look at the stage.

A moment later, the music in the prelude was filled with pipa beads falling onto the jade plate, as if a play had begun. A clear song sounded in the darkness, and a figure loomed under the spotlight, with a hazy outline...

This is a song "Like an Old Friend Comes", with a minor key. The taste showed a little yellowish warmth, and the whole audience was immersed in a nostalgic atmosphere. The singer's voice was like a wisp of lazy smoke, lingering gently in everyone's ears, savoring it. Although there is a hint of sadness, it cannot hide the warmth and sadness.

The singer seems to be telling a sad story about separation and lovesickness, and about the melodious notes of the pipa. It seems to be outlining bits and pieces of the past, and the clear voice of the singer seems to be recounting the past events one by one. These memory fragments are like petals floating in the air, lingering in everyone's heart for a while. .

The guests present were immersed in this unexpected journey, and the singer inadvertently evoked long-lost emotions in their hearts. They either smiled, sighed, or closed their eyes and recalled the past. . And this song "It seems like an old friend is coming" is like a catalyst of time, bringing together the deepest nostalgia in everyone's heart, weaving a warm picture in this grand banquet hall. < /p>
