The lightness of the world of mortals

Ming Yu waited until noon, and Chen Xilin waited until two hours after noon.The extra time is jet lag.

Ming Yue's dialog box stopped at Wang Qi's question: Before the Q Fund's board meeting in the afternoon, can I hear my opinion on wm?

Chen Xilin remembered that there was a meeting tomorrow morning.She was sitting in the hotel room, after washing and grooming, the wind from the air conditioner was whistling, with some trivial noise of lack of power, like a patient with a cold.

There are two more hours for the board to start.

She said she would call Mingyu, but when she returned to the hotel, took a shower, washed her hair, drank coffee, changed her clothes, put on makeup, and listened to the roar of the air conditioner, she felt that it was not necessary up.

But she thought again, Wang Qi had told Ming Yue.

Wang Qi didn't tell, Ming Yu didn't reply, and Wang Qi didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, Chen Xilin said she was going to call, so let her take care of it.

The green basil leaves in the lunch box had been soaked in Italian vinegar sauce for a long time, and they were wilting. Ming Yu still decided to send Wang Qi a short email to answer the questions he asked this morning. give the answer.

Hello, Mr. Wang...

She tapped meticulously.

The phone vibrated, but she didn't want to care about it. Sometimes the pervasive interruptions of modern communication tools made her tired.The email to Wang Qi had already been thought out when the basil leaves were still green, and the phone vibrated, distracted, and she was a little lost.I glanced at the phone screen, it was the chat software, it was...

She grabbed the phone and unlocked it. Did she think too much this morning, and her vision became dishonest?

The vision is honest, and the sender is Chen Xilin.

——Hi, if I'm sorry to bother you, if it's convenient, can I make a phone call?

Excuse me?convenient?Can I talk on the phone?

It seems that the answer is yes, a self-contradictory yes, Ming Yue suddenly doesn't know how to answer, how to appear neither too expectant nor traces of past emotions.

After about 5 minutes, she replied: hi, youmaycall+31(0)xxxxxxxxx, ext.xxx.

Especially for business affairs, all the company and extension numbers are given.

The phone on the desk rang. You don't need to go through the secretary to dial this extension. Naturally, Ming Yue would not deliberately let her transfer it through the secretary. She raised the phone and said in Chinese: "Hello?"

The other party's voice was as soft as ever: "Hey, it's me."

"hi."

"Thank you for recommending wm to us. I read your recommendation letter, which is very detailed."

"You're welcome, I hope it's a win-win thing, you and wm."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, "You know that housing construction is the most important part of the 'Zhenqi Island' project, which is of great significance to the foundation, so thank you for giving us the opportunity to talk about your relationship with wm in detail on the phone. the opinion of."

Ming Yu deleted the half-written email to Wang Qi on the monitor in front of him, and Chen Xilin heard the soft and simple sound of typing on the keyboard, so she listened intently.

"For wm...Huang Dakai has cooperated with us for many years, and the quality of their products and services is still good. Fates can always cooperate with such a local brand, which must be an affirmation." Ming Yue said slowly.

"Well, I think so too, but the refugee city is a big project. To tell you the truth, I will be a little worried about their strength. As far as I know, fates rarely have the opportunity to cooperate with wm on large-scale construction projects."

"You're right. Fates basically only cooperated with wm on existing housing resettlement projects. We don't need to do housing construction. I don't know if wm has submitted any recommendation letters from other business partners who have cooperated with them on housing construction. .”

"Yes, but there is no company as large as fates."

"It's understandable..." Ming Yu played with the pen in his hand. When Chen Xilin called, it was different from writing such a watertight email to Wang Qi. How much should she say?How much filter did Chen Xilin put on his words?Is there even a filter?Recommending wm is purely a commercial act, but is this phone call personal or commercial?

"WM's contract execution is still good. As I said earlier, we are satisfied with the quality of their products and services. Perhaps what they lack in this project is the experience in doing large-scale projects. You must have thought of this. It depends on your trade-offs, price, communication, etc. After weighing, what do you think is more important. As for industry ethics, they can do things very slippery. See if you can control them well. Personally, I still believe in wm's sincerity in fighting for this cooperation, after all, it brings them not only profits, but also reputation."

Chen Xilin digested these words, and she knew that maybe that was all Ming Yue could say.

"Okay, I see, thank you."

"I hope it will be helpful to you."

The conversation seemed to be coming to an end.

"Oh, Mr. Wang also sent a charity application letter to fates."

Chen Xilin felt embarrassed when he heard this, "I only found out later..."

"It's okay. In fact, this is an opportunity for fates. Mark mentioned it to me, and they will follow up with you."

"Okay, thank you..." Chen Xilin stood up and looked at his watch. Abadu will pick her up for a meeting in 15 minutes. "Amsterdam..." She stopped after saying these words, Over the past few months, this name has passed through her mind hundreds of times, but today she actually said it, as if each word carried a difficult journey.

"Amsterdam..." For some reason, Ming Yue followed her and repeated the name in a low voice.

Chen Xilin's eyes were hot, "Are you okay there?"

Mingyu didn't know how to answer.

Inexplicably, she suddenly remembered Chen Xilin's words: the way back can still be found, and the way home is still far away.

And immediately following this sentence is: "I am here with you."

After all, she broke her promise, but Ming Yue smiled slightly, "It's pretty good, how about you?"

Chen Xilin tensed his nerves during the pause just now, but now he is defeated by this indifferent answer.

It's easy to return the same indifference, but she obviously has some warmth, and she wants to pass it on to the other party, but she is afraid of appearing frivolous. After all, she is the one who said to break up.

"I work hard and try to retire early." She didn't say "good" or "bad".

But Mingyu was too familiar with this smell, it was his usual tune, when did he infect Chen Xilin.

Her heart suddenly softened, "Lynn, business is about business, and businessmen seek profit. I can also make money by recommending wm."

Chen Xilin's throat was astringent, "I understand."

She is profitable, so let her figure it out. At the board meeting in the afternoon, Chen Xilin was the first to propose hiring WM, and the proposal was approved.

Huang Dakai knew that Mingyu played a role in the middle, and Mingyu proposed to let him give up the medical insurance cooperation in the refugee city and sell the insurance to fates, so he agreed smoothly, and got the big projects, and the small projects can make money from fates, The medical insurance business is sold to anyone, isn't it just a favor?

In this way, fates has also become the medical insurance donor partner of "Zhenqi Island". The medical insurance project that Mingyu and Kent worked hard to fight for and promote in Asia has now been effectively promoted through "Zhenqi Island".

It seems that in this world, everyone is a winner for a while.

It's really cold in Western Europe in December.

Ming Yu took a week off.When she arrived in the Netherlands, she took more vacations.

This vacation was planned. Last time, the frozen wine brochure of the winery by the Rhine caught her attention inexplicably. She browsed the winery website and saw that they were recruiting seasonal apprentices.Every year after frost falls and winter comes, the winery will recruit several volunteers as apprentices to help produce frozen wine and popularize this process to wine lovers.

Mingyu finds it interesting, she hasn't found anything interesting for a long time, the death of a love is like a plague, destroying all the vitality in her heart, and the place is barren.

Until Chen Xilin's call came in, she didn't say much, and she didn't say much, but Mingyu suddenly felt that it was not her desolation alone, she heard a faint echo from Chen Xilin, like two pieces of The vague whispers echoing in the barren wilderness are amplified by the emptiness.

In the chat list, Chen Xilin's window no longer sinks to the bottom, and the last sentence is no longer "Where are you? I'll go find you." She read this sentence too many times, and her disappointment piled up into bones. Now that it has been driven away, Mingyu feels that his breathing is easier.

With a little smooth breathing, she walked on the streets of Western Europe in winter, and then she inhaled the coldness in her nose. She walked into the train station, sat in the white ice, took off the huge scarf, and revealed her tied ponytail and an unpainted face.

Many, many years ago, that girl Mingyue, who had never been hurt by feelings, sat in a certain carriage of a certain train in such a simple and unpretentious manner. At that time, she felt that the outside world was huge and should be very exciting. As long as she leaves the temporary home in Pingcheng, she can fly freely like a wild goose.

Now that she has walked vigorously in this mortal world, after experiencing the prosperity of dreams, life and death, and the courage to wash away all the lead, can her eyes still be as clear as when she came?

The train was heading southeast. Not long ago, Angie was on the same train and sent her a message at the same terminal, saying that the grape fields there were so beautiful and that she should go and see them together.At that time, she just smiled at the suggestion, what didn't she read?What else can you be interested in?

Maybe the first step to reconciling with the world is to get interested in it again, and today she really wants to learn how to make frozen wine.
