It turns out that no one survives in love

The next morning, Lin Rui went to the school to check his emails, and unexpectedly received an official email from Haitian Consulting, asking him to have a formal meeting with Zhou Yan to discuss the project plan.Lin Rui glanced at it, this letter was given to Zhou Yan and three other people he didn't know at the same time, he guessed it should be the person in charge of the other party's project, and the signatures were Hai Ming and Li Tian.After discussing with Zhou Yan, he decided to make a formal presentation, putting ideas, timeline, and expected results into it, so as to communicate more effectively.Personally, he doesn't like to have meetings without results again and again. Everyone is very busy. Since they want to meet formally, they should make a specific plan and timetable at once.After the two parties agreed to meet in the company conference room at 9 o'clock the next morning, Zhou Yan and Lin Rui began to discuss the content of the PPT.The original idea of ​​this project was Lin Rui's, so after the two decided on the main content, Zhou Yan suggested that Lin Rui should take the lead.This meant that Lin Rui had to make a presentation in front of Haiming and Li Tian, ​​and every time he advanced to the next stage or had any problems that needed to be communicated, Lin Rui had to come forward.Under normal circumstances, Lin Rui himself also hopes this way. Since it is his idea, he knows what he wants every step of the way, so it is natural to take this responsibility.But this time, Lin Rui was not willing.In fact, he was not willing to have too much contact with Haiming.A person who recovers from drugs is most afraid of seeing drugs again.The first meeting with Haiming when he returned to China this time made Lin Rui clearly realize that Haiming's influence on his emotions has not diminished in the slightest.Even because of Haiming's unexplained intimate words during the last two meetings, this influence has a tendency to continue to rise.Lin Rui felt that at this time, he should have less contact with Haiming.Being rejected ten years ago, he lost all face, but after all, he can barely cover it up with "young and ignorant".But today, ten years later, if he fell into the same pit again, it would be shattering. He didn't have the courage and confidence to get up again.But what troubled him was that he couldn't explain the reason clearly to Zhou Yan.After much deliberation, Lin Rui still bit the bullet and agreed.With a touch of luck, he thought that after meeting tomorrow, he would make a rough plan, and then he would contact the project leader by email, bypassing Haiming, and he would return to the United States in a few months, and then hand over the follow-up plan to For Zhou Yan, there is no problem.Thinking of this, Lin Rui peeled off a piece of toffee and put it in his mouth.

Zhou Yan and Lin Rui came to Haiming's company at nine o'clock the next morning as scheduled. To show their importance, they both wore formal suits.Lin Rui himself is relatively thin, and his height is only 175, but his body proportions are very good, his shoulders are wide and his waist is narrow, his legs are long, and he rarely smiles. A dark blue suit gives him an abstinent temperament.Zhou Yan has a big frame, and suits are actually the most suitable style for him.When the two walked together, they looked more like white-collar elites who came to negotiate.After entering the office, Li Tian, ​​Hai Ming and his group were already waiting there.When Li Tian saw Lin Rui, he couldn't help but feel his eyes light up, and immediately walked over to say hello with a smile, and then introduced him to the other three project leaders.Lin Rui guessed right, the other three were a project manager, a data clerk was in charge of specific data, and a lawyer was in charge of contract-related matters.After exchanging pleasantries, everyone walked into the conference room and started the formal meeting.Lin Rui always liked the simple and clear presentation style. After he spent a few seconds cheering himself up as if Haiming was not there, he started.The other party's project manager and data clerk are also knowledgeable, and they come and go, asking very critical questions. When a decision needs to be made, Li Tian, ​​as the general person in charge of the entire project, immediately makes a decision.Two and a half hours later, the project plan, phase division, specific manpower allocation, and even the phase report form and follow-up plan were all finalized, and a confidentiality agreement was signed.Zhou Yan and Lin Rui were very satisfied with this straightforward approach, and could feel the sincerity of each other's cooperation.Lin Rui was very emotional. Such efficiency is actually very rare in the companies he has worked with.He has seen the interaction between Haiming and Li Tian, ​​and the tacit understanding between the two of them for many years can be seen.He couldn't help thinking that Haiming was really suitable for this job, and he was really happy for him.

Seeing that it was noon, Li Tian stayed with Zhou Yan and Lin Rui for lunch, "Let's just have a simple work meal and chat casually." The other party said this, and Lin Rui couldn't refuse, so the four of them got together Went to the staff canteen.Zhou Yan laughed when he saw the lunch. It was indeed a work meal. It was a very simple buffet, but the combination of various fruits and vegetables was very nutritious. There were also Tacos and various small desserts that young people like very much. He immediately felt very at ease and comfortable. big move.Lin Rui's attention was not on things, what surprised him was the company's culture.Everyone smiled and greeted Haiming and Li Tianlai to eat, but they were not surprised at all. It was time to line up and chat.He thought, such a vigorous and cohesive company should be able to go far.Just as I was thinking, there was a steamed fish on the plate.Looking up, it turned out to be Li Tian.When the other party saw that he was looking over, he turned his head and whispered in his ear, "Auntie told me secretly just now that the fish just came in this morning, and they were all alive and very fresh." Lin Rui was stunned by his white teeth. For a moment, but compared to the sharp-edged Li Tian at the dinner a few days ago, he felt that this Li Tian was more lively now, and this kind of overreaching didn't seem so strong, which made his impression a lot better.He then smiled, "Thank you." Standing next to Zhou Yan, Haiming suddenly felt a little tight in his chest when he saw this scene, so he took a cup of iced lemon tea.

Everyone sat down, took off their suit jackets, and was about to eat, when Li Tian unbuttoned his cuffs and began to roll up his sleeves.His movements are very natural, with a sense of familiarity, without being rude.Lin Rui remembered that that time when Qin Yue took him to eat barbecue, he also rolled up his sleeves like this, and said with a ruffian smile, "Brother Qin is serving you". Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.Li Tian didn't know what he was thinking, and thought he was laughing at his rude actions, so he said with a smile, "I eat more casually, Professor Lin, don't mind." Lin Rui felt a little embarrassed when he heard him say that, Quickly said, "No, we are all friends, so you should be casual." Li Tian took it naturally, "I didn't expect that Professor Lin is so professional when he gives a report, but he is very easy-going when he gets along with friends." Lin Rui didn't know what to do. What was he talking about, he just smiled, then lowered his head and picked up a fish with chopsticks.The fish meat was really tender and delicious, and he couldn't help but happily eat it mouthful after mouthful.

Li Tian finds it funny to see him eating happily, this person really keeps surprising him.The first meeting began with the sentence "Haitian's 'Tian'" came from the phone. The familiar tone was slightly mischievous, far away from the rigid intellectuals in his impression, which made him want to meet this people.When we met, he felt that Lin Rui was handsome, with a gentle and harmless personality, but from time to time there was a little bit of hard temperament in his bones, which made him feel that this person was not as blunt as he appeared on the surface.But the meeting just now made him look very different, not only because Lin Rui in a suit is very temperamental, but also because this person is very professional, keen and sharp on key issues.This is beyond his knowledge of the professor.People who have been in the academic circle are often easily divorced from the real environment, and their consideration of problems is relatively one-sided and idealized.Lin Rui obviously understood the rules of business.He was very curious about the person in front of him.But at this moment, the person sitting in front of him took off his suit and glasses, and when he found something he liked, he kept sipping it one after another, just like a child.This sense of conflict and endless surprises made him clearly realize that he was indeed interested.But Li Tian is not a 20-year-old boy dominated by hormones, he is a mature, rational person who knows how to do cost-benefit analysis.Lin Rui is an interesting person, being with him should be a very different experience from his previous life.But this difference is not without cost.Lin Rui is neither easy to get, nor easy to tie around, on the contrary, he is an asset that needs high maintenance, and this person also has an extraordinary relationship with Haiming.In Haiming's car that night, he noticed that Haiming's attitude was abnormal, so he acted deliberately determined to win in agitation.In fact, Li Tian didn't lie, he really didn't want to play around, but he had to think clearly whether this earnestness should be put into action.Of course, there is no need to delay his high sensitivity in front of Lin Rui because of these plans, anyway, he didn't make it clear that he was chasing someone.

Haiming stared at Li Tian's expression and movements from the corner of his eye, with mixed feelings in his heart.It wasn't until today's meeting that he realized the tremendous changes that ten years had brought to Lin Rui.He used to think that during the years of his absence, Lin Rui was suffering, lonely, and lonely, so he wanted to make up for it.But today he realized that time really will not let anyone down.In the past ten years, Lin Rui has grown up and transformed in loneliness.He built his confidence and pride in his field.He thought that he needed to apologize and make amends for his previous impulsiveness, but in the end he was still arrogant. This person is independent and powerful. He could bear the harm caused by those eight words back then, and he is not today. It takes anyone to pay for his fate.
