no appointment

The bbq is still going on, and many young people have gone to the dance floor vacated in the lobby, only some older business partners are still here to discuss business.

Under such circumstances, the three of them naturally didn't have the interest to play with young people. They were all busy chatting with colleagues and customers they knew. After all, that was the original intention of their visit.

Ruth took Jing Han and had just chatted with a JP Morgan r, but Ruan Mu seemed to have gone somewhere.

It wasn't until the formulaic conversations were over that she saw the figure of the tall woman, with a smile on Ruan Mugou's attractive lips, who had just supported the little son who was running around, "Honey, be careful," she said. After giving instructions, he stepped forward to chat with a French man.

Ruan Mu's curly brown hair is scattered on her shoulders, and the slim evening dress has a winding gap from the back, and the beautiful butterfly bone on the shoulder blade is vaguely facing her side, "..." She is holding a red wine glass, occasionally Those who bump into each other have a consistent smile on their lips, and look directly into each other's eyes.

"..."

It was obviously such a delicate scene, but Jing Han felt a little uncomfortable watching it, and she subconsciously moved her eyes away.

"That French man is the CEO of a medical device company. He seems to be buying a company in London recently." Ruth stood next to Jing Han and looked towards Ruan Mu. "This man has been to UBS several times. Ruan Mu has also been in contact with him many times, and it is estimated that the project will be handed over to her."

"...I know." Jing Han lowered his eyes, looking at the lawn unnaturally.

Of course she remembered it.

Ruan Mu had been busy dating this French man a long time ago, inviting him to watch horse races, tennis, and chat about his favorite literature and operas.At that time, I had just returned to London, and my relationship with Ruan Mu was already in an ambiguous stage.

One night, Ruan Mu mentioned this for fear that he would be jealous. Before going to the appointment, he hugged his waist and kissed her deeply before going to the door, and then bit her ear unsteadily, panting, "I will soon Will be back, you wait for me at home, huh?"

Jing Han raised her head slightly, and she could hear the passionate panting, of course she knew what Ruan Mu was trying to imply, her cheeks blushed to the roots of her ears, "..." She wanted to refuse, but when she moved her lips, she was caught by that The hot emotion in the charming eyebrows made him speechless, and he only hummed slightly.

But that was all in the past.

Those pictures kept flashing in front of his eyes, Jing Han averted his eyes for a while, and suddenly felt a little pain in his heart.

……

"Suet," suddenly, she heard Ruth call her name.

Jing Han slowly pulled away from those thoughts, raised her cold eyes, and looked at the capable British woman in front of her.

"What do you think is the most important ability to be a vp?" Ruth took a sip of red wine, looked straight at her and asked, "I know you should also have the desire to be promoted to r, but you have also seen that this For a while, md has been taking Ruan Mu out to meet clients, but not you."

"You two, as VPs who were promoted at the same time, should receive the same treatment. I think the md leader did this not only because Ruan Mu is of mixed race. You are so smart, you should know the deeper reason."

Jing Han was startled, and was at a loss for words for a moment.

She didn't expect Ruth to talk to herself about this kind of thing so directly, so directly... She felt a little abnormal.But Jing Han could also tell that Ruth wanted to help herself very seriously. Although the way didn't make her feel comfortable, she could barely accept it.

Jing Han looked at the enchanting figure in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Because of her personality, md may think that Ruan Mu is more valuable for nurturing, and her communication skills are very strong... I am not good enough."

"..."

Ruth looked at her straight, and shook her head, "It's not accurate, it's not appropriate to say that communication skills should be a kind of balanced ability." Seeing that Jing Han was a little stunned, she continued, "A vp needs to take [-]% How much energy is devoted to work, and how much energy is devoted to network maintenance, this is her own business."

"Slowly you will understand that there is no ability in this world that cannot be replaced, only connections are irreplaceable."

"It's not that you are not better than Ruan Mu, but whether you can create higher value for UBS, do you understand?" Ruth squeezed the wine glass, and lightly touched the goblet in Jing Han's hand, The words are very direct, "With all due respect, you have not completely transformed from your identity now,"

There was a chill in Jing Han's cold eyes, she pursed her lips and listened, "..."

Ruth looked at her, "You should think more about what the responsibilities of a vp are, and then take the initiative to increase your enthusiasm for maintaining connections. This is the most important thing you should do now." She paused, seeing that Jinghan finally understood her words , "Remember, UBS will give you what you give to UBS."

Jing Han quietly listened to her words, eyes drooping, "...Thank you,"

Ruth, the British woman in front of her, was originally from Citibank. Because of her rich experience, she was quickly promoted to r. Since the two of them met, she has been supporting and teaching Jing Han.

There are of course deeper reasons for this.

Ruth sent her home after a dinner party, took her hand and asked, "If you don't mind, I want to ask you if you like women?" fell in love with her.

Of course Jing Han refused, but after that, she and Ruan Mu became entangled again.

Based on these complicated reasons, even though Jing Han and Ruth made it clear later, every time she was treated seriously and specially by the other party, she felt a little unnatural.

"Have you broken up with Ruan Mu?" Ruth asked suddenly.

"..."

Jing Han's heart skipped a beat, and she calmed down, "No, no..." She paused, and added, "It's not a breakup, strictly speaking, we've never been together."

Hearing this, Ruth took a deep look at her and asked very tactfully, "Really, what do you mean being together?"

Jing Han looked away uncomfortably, and his tone became a little stubborn again, "It's only when I admit it."

Ruth laughed suddenly, she lowered her eyes and took a sip of her wine, and said something inexplicably, "You're still so cute,"

Before Jing Han could react, she suddenly took a step forward, pulled Jing Han's wrist, leaned forward and whispered, "I still say what I said before, if one day you want to give up this celibate life, I am willing to do so at any time." date you."

Ruth's elegant English voice whispered in Jing Han's ear, "I'm different from Ruan Mu. What I expect is a long-term and stable ship. Think about it."

The distance between the two is too close, so close that in the eyes of others, the relationship is so intimate that it is not normal.

Jing Han felt a little uncomfortable all over, but she pushed Ruth away after all.

……

In the next second, she saw Ruan Mu holding a glass of wine and looking straight at herself, but the French man was no longer by her side.

Jing Han thought she had seen Ruth's actions, and just opened her mouth to say something, but saw Ruan Mu's thin lips curled up, didn't say anything, just glanced at her, then turned and left.

Jing Han has never been in the habit of explaining to others, and she thinks those are unnecessary actions.Therefore, even if she had the intention to speak in her heart, those words of clarification could never be uttered, just like now.

Then, the dinner party finally ended after she lost her mind many times.

It was nearly 1 o'clock at that time, and the red Maserati was parked at the door of a white apartment building. Ruan Mu didn't turn his head to look at her, but said lightly, "Get out of the car."

And Jing Han sat there without moving for a long time.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air again, and both of them clearly felt that Jing Han did not obey her order to get out of the car, her cold thin lips were tightly closed, "..." and the enchanting woman beside her was sitting In the driver's seat, quietly waiting.

Nearly 5 full minutes passed.

A chilly voice sounded, sounding a bit dull, Jing Han finally spoke, "Just now, Ruth mentioned asking me out again, and then..." She paused, inexplicably uncomfortable, "Then I refused."

She didn't mention the phrase 'I'm different from Ruan Mu', and she didn't know why she wanted to talk about it with the other party.

The voice fell behind, and the whole car fell into a deathly silence. Ruan Mu didn't want to express anything at all, but just stared straight out of the window and remained silent, "..." After a long while, she repeated it in a low voice, "Get out of the car."

There was some emotion in Jing Han's eyes. She couldn't accept Ruan Mu's attitude, as if her own affairs had nothing to do with her, "You really..." She couldn't say a word, "You Really don't care about it at all? ' She couldn't say the words.

After hearing her words, Ruan Mu suddenly smiled, "Really, of course it is true, I don't want to hear your explanation, I am not interested at all."
