Gong Xinuo entered the office, changed his clothes, then started the computer, logged into the company's dedicated mailbox, and clicked on the unread email sent from the headquarters.

A circular in duplicate in English and Japanese, the general content is to inform the heads of branches in various countries to attend the funeral of Nakamura Haruhisa's family of four in Japan two days later.

The downloaded attachment is a scanned copy of Clarence's handwritten letter, please participate.

Before Gong Xinuo had time to think about whether to attend the funeral or not, Wang Yuzhong came in and reported that he had booked the air ticket. As Gong Xinuo's special assistant, he would accompany him there, and the celebration and funeral could not be avoided.

During lunch, Zhou Yingjun came uninvited.

He has a particularly disturbing thing recently. Daxin (China) Group, one of the customers of the freight company, has repeatedly defaulted on freight charges. According to the contract and regulations signed by both parties, the account of the previous month should have been settled at the end of each month, but it is Daxin. The (China) Group really did not perform well, leading to a shortage of funds, and it still deliberately reneged on its debts, and refused to settle the bills many times.

Zhou Yingjun was embarrassed to press too hard because of his affection, and he was also afraid of offending a big client.

But the manager in charge of logistics intentionally confronted him and found various reasons to evade, of course, the most commonly used excuse was the minister's disapproval.

Zhou Yingjun accidentally mentioned it to Gong Xinuo once, and Gong Xinuo silently kept it in his heart.

Talk directly to the chairman of Daxin (China) Group in private. The old-fashioned chairman of Daxin (China) Group has a little friendship with Gong Xinuo. He lives abroad all year round to manage the affairs of the headquarters, and he doesn't know much about the specific domestic business conditions. clear.

Gong Xinuo told the chairman on the phone that the shipping company they cooperated with was run by his brother, and the large amount of freight arrears would cause the company to fail to operate normally, and his brother was also very angry, and hoped that he could solve it as soon as possible.

On the morning of the second day after Gong Xinuo finished talking with the chairman on the phone, the manager in charge of logistics took the initiative to call Zhou Yingjun, with a polite attitude and a humble tone, graciously expressing that he would send financial personnel to deliver the check to Zhou Yingjun's company.

Before the call ended, the manager said why bother Mr. Gong with such a trivial matter, and treat guests to dinner another day.

Zhou Yingjun, who was in a cloud of mist, was puzzled. It turned out that Gong Xinuo secretly helped him to pay back the foreign debt. After receiving the check, he went straight to Gong Xinuo's company, intending to treat him to dinner as a thank you.

Regarding Zhou Yingjun's gracious invitation, Gong Xinuo said that it was unnecessary.

All along, Zhou Yingjun and Song Yeyang have taken good care of them and helped them a lot. Gong Xinuo couldn't find a suitable opportunity to thank them, and it happened to help him solve a big problem with a little effort, and Gong Xinuo felt a little comforted in his heart.

Instead of going out for dinner, Zhou Yingjun simply stayed and had a working meal with Gong Xinuo.

Gong Xinuo's daily meal time is 11:45, 15 minutes earlier than the employees, avoiding slightly noisy group meals.

Inside the restaurant there is a square and small single room. This is where Gong Xinuo eats alone. There is a chef who is responsible for cooking Gong Xinuo's meals, and there is an aunt who does odd jobs.

Gong Xinuo and Zhou Yingjun showed up at the restaurant on time, and Gong Xinuo swiped his card, just like other employees.

The operation right of the restaurant is outsourced to a catering company with contracting qualifications. The hall is divided into Western-style buffet and Chinese-style lunch boxes. In addition, there is a Muslim dining area. The cost of the meal label is 25 yuan, and a management fee is charged separately.

Gong Xinuo swiped the card once on the front and back, Zhou Yingjun was puzzled: "Why did you swipe it twice?"

"Are you not a human being?" Gong Xinuo teased him, and the restaurant pays by the number of diners every month.

"Oh." Zhou Yingjun suddenly understood that companies with a small number of people generally pay for meals according to the number of meals, while companies with a large number of people pay for meals according to the number of people eating.

Four hot dishes, two cold dishes, a small half pot of soup, a bowl of rice, a steamed bun or a flower roll, the main meat and the second meat, eggs and green vegetables, red, green, green and white, all in color, flavor, and small amount of food, Gong Xinuo's appetite is not enough Big enough not to go to waste.

Occasionally, there are guests, and the aunt adds a pair of bowls and chopsticks according to the rules.

Holding up his chopsticks, Zhou Yingjun stared at the dishes in the middle of the small multicolored porcelain plate, and tilted his head: "I'm really embarrassed to put the chopsticks down." He was really worried that the plate would become empty once the chopsticks were dropped.

"I'm not hungry." Gong Xinuo dispelled his worries, paused for a moment, and spoke slowly. "I have something to go to Japan for two days, so..."

"So, help you take care of your wife and children!" Zhou Yingjun took his words without knowing it.

Gong Xinuo smiled indifferently, and gave him a piece of meat: "Trouble, at most, two days."

"If you're so worried, take it with you, and it's not far away!" Zhou Yingjun didn't think it was troublesome, but he wished he could bring Gong Xi to his side. Gong Xi was a magic weapon to divert Song Yeyang's attention.

Gong Xinuo gave him a look that could be easily taken away, do I need to trouble him?

"Okay." How could Zhou Yingjun make things difficult for him, how could he refuse him. "Ye Yang stayed with him for two days. It's been a long time since I took Yuanyuan to play. Just in time, last time I promised to take the little girl to Duan Dou Le. I think you like Xiaoyuan more and more. Really, I think you just When we first got together, you weren't so worried and reluctant."

"Look, I like Yuan Jingkun." Gong Xinuo put down his chopsticks and stretched out a finger. "First, be obedient. I don't refute any request, I do what I say, and I definitely don't do what I say can't be done. Never say no, don't ask why, don't ask why. He knows, there is no reason , there is no reason. Because he thinks I am smarter than him, everything I say is right and reasonable, listen to me. We go out to eat at noon every Saturday, just the two of us, take him to the restaurant, I want things that he doesn't usually like to eat, and he doesn't eat, just watch me eat."

Zhou Yingjun had a great time eating, so he took the time to interject: "Then take the recipe and order his favorite food."

"He doesn't dare, I don't speak, I won't do that. He just doesn't eat and doesn't move his chopsticks."

"If it were me, pat your ass and leave, go eat something else!" Zhou Yingjun wiped his mouth with his chopsticks when he was full, the taste of the few but refined dishes was really extraordinary.

"He absolutely dare not do this, he knows the consequences." Gong Xinuo waved his fingers.

"Aren't Xiao Yuan angry? You abused him so much!" Zhou Yingjun was puzzled.

"Some things can be eaten infrequently, but at least once a week. You must be angry and ignore me for an hour. This is the simplest, and I ignore him. Talk to me for 5 minutes after an hour. I feel almost hungry. , buy him a hamburger. It’s okay to be angry, but it’s not good to be hungry. Slowly, he himself will feel bored, and he will eat what he doesn’t eat.” The trick that Yuan Jingkun thought of without compromising was what Gong Xinuo came up with. Disaster. "His classmate, from middle school, came back from abroad, met him, he treated guests to dinner, and would call me and ask, 'Where are we going to eat?', now he has developed a habit of not listening to me, thinking he will do it Wrong, this is good."

"Oh my god, Xiao Yuan has been taken care of by you, hey, how do you live these days, you have to ask for instructions when you have a meal!" Zhou Yingjun had a helpless expression.

"Second, simplicity. He thinks that the problem will not be detours, go straight to the point, without too many complicated things. Third, contentment. Never make excessive demands, and will not be greedy." Gong Xinuo stretched out three fingers. "It is impossible for a person to like another person without a reason. He is sure that there is something attractive about this person. This attraction is unique and irreplaceable, so he will choose this person without hesitation."

"It makes sense." Zhou Yingjun agreed. "However, I think whoever chooses you will be unlucky. The requirements are too high. Hey, I think there are people who can meet the standard besides Xiao Yuan. You two should live well."

"How come? I also have advantages." Gong Xinuo raised the corners of his mouth, although he retorted, his tone was still unhurried, neither high nor low.

"I'm sorry, maybe the windows of my soul are not as bright as Xiao Yuan's. I really haven't discovered your good points. It's too deep to dig out!" Zhou Yingjun got up jokingly, and the two walked through the corridor from behind Go back to the office lobby.

Like a cemetery in a landscape garden, with verdant pines and cypresses, pavilions and terraces, the four seasons are like spring, quiet and indifferent.

In the center of the square in front of the cemetery was a row of black Toyota high-end commercial vehicles, and the driver in the driver's seat was waiting.

The tomb used to bury the Nakamura family is a large tomb. The old couple of Nakamura specially invited the local immortals to calculate the geomantic omen, and selected it out of thousands of choices.How much this cemetery is worth is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Many relatives of the Nakamura family gathered in front of the tomb to hold a grand and solemn ashes interment ceremony in accordance with local customs.

Headed by Clarence, the M&B Group has 31 senior management personnel, all dressed in black suits, dignified and solemn, standing silently, mourning like a ceremony.

The winter in Japan is particularly humid, with continuous light rain.

Their respective assistants hold umbrellas to protect their bosses from the rain. The spectacular scene is no less than the exaggerated descriptions in TV dramas.

Gong Xinuo didn't need any preparations for his trip to Japan, but Yuan Jingkun didn't see him off because Wang Yuzhong was accompanying him.

Gong Xinuo went to the hospital in the morning, and then went straight to the airport. When the plane landed, the staff of the Japanese branch who came to pick up the plane in advance received them.

After the ceremony was over, the personnel of the M&B Group lined up to lay flowers in front of the tomb in order of rank and country initials. Gong Xinuo was at the front. Clarence stepped down the steps, stopped, and looked back at the cemetery, as if waiting for him.

Clarence and Gong Xinuo entered the car at the same time. Their assistants stood outside the car, and the driver consciously exited.

"I feel very sorry. Xinuo, no matter what the reason is, losing you is a loss that I cannot make up for." Clarence's face was obviously lost and regretful. "You know, not only Mr. Huo and Mr. Hu place great expectations on you, but I also do the same. I think that in the near future, you will be my most capable man and an indispensable helper. It is also just around the corner to become a shareholder of the entire group It's a pity that you have to choose to leave M&B and me, I really can't understand your approach and thoughts well. I don't think you should feel the joy of relief, right?"

"I'm very sorry." Gong Xinuo is aware that his stubborn insistence on leaving the M&B Group has caused troubles for many people. Work is often not a single individual, especially in a large-scale group, which pays special attention to team spirit and layer-by-layer training.

Gong Xinuo has been cultivated and given advice by many people along the way, and now, their hard work has gone to waste, how could he not feel sad or regretful?

Facing Gong Xinuo's guilty expression and sincere apology, Clarence shook his head: "You don't need to apologize. This is your freedom, your right, and no one can interfere or stop it. Mr. Huo told me that you did it because of your health. I just proposed to resign, but I don’t think this is the truth. Maybe you found something more precious to you, so you had to give it up. Xinuo, actually, I admire your courage in this matter, you know, for us It’s painful to say that sometimes you can’t do what you really want. Wealth may not buy you a life you want, nor can you buy sincere and pure feelings, but you can’t live better without wealth. Generally speaking, it is a creature full of contradictions. Xinuo, regarding your future, I don’t think you need to quit the construction industry completely. It will be interesting to have a strong opponent. Of course, you choose other industries, it’s up to you If you have the talent and ability, you will surely succeed.”

"Thank you." Clarence's unscrupulous inner analysis moved Gong Xinuo. In this world, no one can escape from various choices. Only the person involved knows what is important, and others will never be able to escape. Can not understand.

"My friend, bless you!" Clarence smiled sincerely, and hugged Gong Xinuo vigorously sideways.

Gong Xinuo smiled back, he will remember every day in M&B Group and everyone in M&B Group.

Leaving Clarence's private car, Gong Xinuo walked towards the parking lot, and met Hu Nan's eyes. Hu Nan and Huo Boqing noticed Ito's gloomy pupils at the same time.

Later, the sound of car doors opening and closing came one after another, and the mighty convoy drove out of the solemn and solemn gate of the cemetery.

Clarence and most of the executives took the plane back that afternoon, and a small number of branch leaders who had business dealings with the Japanese branch stayed to handle affairs.

Gong Xinuo and Cao Zhe rarely met, so they took this opportunity to have lunch together.

It's only been a few months since the last time we parted, and our identities are different when we see each other again.

In an elegant Japanese restaurant, with light and delicious sushi snacks, the two of them sat facing each other, somehow, it felt like a world away.

Cao Zhe told Gong Xinuo the good news of Yu Jiyang's pregnancy. While Gong Xinuo congratulated him, he was a little heartbroken and sore.

The climate in Singapore is like spring all year round, which is very suitable for raising a baby. Cao Zhe brought his parents to live with him so that he can take care of Yu Jiyang.

Yu Jiyang did not choose the wrong person. Cao Zhe is a good man who values ​​both his career and his family. He is a gentle and considerate husband. He will also be a good father who loves his children in the future.

Yu Jiyang was living happily, and Gong Xinuo felt very relieved.

A few days ago Yu Jiyang asked about his recent situation in the email, Gong Xinuo kept all unpleasant things from him, and replied to her simply and concisely as before, he didn't want Yu Jiyang to worry about these things that had nothing to do with him.

"You will be very successful." Gong Xinuo raised his glass, exuding a unique fragrance.

"Of course." Cao Zhe clinked glasses with him confidently.

Both sides drank it down.

Cao Zhe's feelings towards his former rival in love are relatively complicated. He has been secretly working hard to catch up with and even try to surpass Gong Xinuo.

Freezing three feet does not happen in a day. Gong Xinuo's achievements today cannot be achieved in three or two days.

Cao Zhe is a man full of tenacity. He never gave up because he couldn't do it. His steps became more hasty and he kept running.

Until the opportunity came, he knew in his heart that if it hadn't been for Gong Xinuo's voluntary withdrawal, he would never have climbed to a high position at such an age.

But Cao Zhe is still full of confidence. If he is not capable enough, even if Gong Xinuo abdicates, he will not be reused.

In M&B Group, no matter what position you are in, no matter what job you are in charge of, the most important thing is to maintain a good attitude and a full spirit.

Abundant talents and learning, extraordinary ability, courage to accept challenges and take responsibility, and self-confidence all play a vital role in a person's success.

Gong Xinuo could vaguely see himself in Cao Zhe's body back then, so pretentious, so high-spirited, and so ambitious, Cao Zhe's future is limitless.
