"Xu Jiale," Wen Ke said softly, "In a person's life, he has to make too many choices, and no one can guarantee that he will always be right. But at least every choice at the moment is impossible for the purpose of deliberately making mistakes. Go to choose. When you were 22 years old, you thought you found the person you liked the most, so you formed the family you wanted, and you and Jin Chu had your little baby. After the divorce, it was Jin Chu who first proposed that he felt that he had no feelings. This shows that he is also longing for stronger love. Isn't it normal for your relationship to break up, and now, do you regret having Nan Yi? "

"How is it possible, I will never regret having Nanyi."

Xu Jiale suddenly raised his head: "Nan Yi is the angel in my life."

"That's fine. So is it guilt? Because the relationship with Jin Chu has never reached the critical point, but suddenly such a love with Fu Xiaoyu, so I feel sorry for Nanyi?"

"...Yes." Xu Jiale said hoarsely, "I was the one who failed to give him a perfect family from the very beginning."

"Xu Jiale, but you said it yourself, no one can predict the future." Wen Ke slightly accentuated his voice: "Who can stand at the age of 30, look back at the self at the age of 20, and feel that every step along the way is correct? Do you really think you can be that powerful?"

He hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Xu Jiale, in the final analysis, sometimes I don't know whether you are conceited or inferior. I just think that many of the choices you make are not your own choices."

Xu Jiale didn't quite understand this sentence, but he didn't ask it right away.

"From junior high school to marriage, all the Omega you looked for were of that type. Are you really actively looking for someone you like? Or are you just passively choosing an Omega that's not at all like Murong Jingya?"

"You feel guilty that you didn't give Nanyi a perfect family from the very beginning, but what does a perfect family look like? You seem to know that no matter what, it's right not to form a family like Murong and Xu Lang. From From the negative information that I hate, I reversed a seemingly reasonable formula, but in fact, from the very beginning, this is not feasible."

Xu Jiale stared at Wen Ke in a daze, unable to utter a word.

These words were probably the sharpest and most merciless words Wen Ke had ever said to him since they met, like heavy hammers hitting him dizzily.

Yes, the ideal marriage and family he has been pursuing all along are mirages deduced by his own inference and assumptions.

In fact, from the moment Fu Xiaoyu chased him, he had vaguely understood how ridiculous and absurd he was before.

When Wen Ke said this, he was really angry. His eyes, which were always smiling, stared at Xu Jiale with a trace of anger.

He has a gentle personality, but at this moment, it seems that he can't be a good mentor, and he can't be as calm and patient as Xu Jiale was to him before.

"Xu Jiale, no one can save the previous marriage, but what about this time?"

"This is the only love that you didn't pass the formula, but boiled to the critical point with your own feelings. Don't you know how precious this kind of relationship is? You just gave up on him so simply? You didn't even discuss it with him before. ?”

"I know."

"Wen Ke, I know how precious Fu Xiaoyu is."

Xu Jiale shook his head.

He couldn't even say that the feeling was precious, but could only weakly say "Fu Xiaoyu is precious".

"It's my problem, you're right. It's also my fault for not discussing it with him. I carry so much mess that hasn't been cleaned up, and a tattered mood, too much guilt and self-blame, as if The more I want to be responsible for my life, the more I will be sorry to anyone. Wen Ke, I also think that the ending is different now, but I am stuck in the mud, no matter how hard I struggle, I can’t get out. I don’t want Fu Xiaoyu to accompany me , spattered with mud, and then disappointed me a little bit, I can't bear this process. I can't give him that kind of love that... can shine, make him feel precious and priceless forever. If I I can’t give it, I shouldn’t stand by his side anymore.”

Xu Jiale vaguely remembered why these words were so familiar.

"That time a few days ago... is the kind of priceless thing that I will always cherish and keep in my heart."

Until now, he still remembers the appearance of the sun shining on his eyelashes when that Omega said these words, golden, fluffy and beautiful eyelashes.

Xu Jiale sat there, and this was the first time he fully expressed his feelings.

He put his hands on his knees, dazed.

That regular and restrained posture is like a prisoner locked in a room for interrogation, missing his freedom.

When Wen Ke heard those words, he finally let out a long sigh. At that moment, after the anger faded, a strong sense of powerlessness came to his heart.

Xu Jiale was trapped, trapped in the cell he made himself.

"Xu Jiale, sometimes I really wonder if you don't love yourself from the bottom of your heart?"

He murmured: "Because you don't love yourself, you can handle a matter that could have been resolved like this. Whether it's marriage, Nan Yi, or the relationship with Fu Xiaoyu, you seem to be just obsessed with Concentrate on building the imaginary perfect relationship. The problems between them are not unsolvable, but you seem to only blame and feel guilty for yourself. When problems arise, you take all the responsibility on yourself, and then watch helplessly. I was so crushed that I didn't even have the courage to ask Fu Xiaoyu for help."

"Xu Jiale, only those who don't love themselves at all will not have the courage to pursue happiness, and will feel that asking for help from the one they love is throwing mud at him."

Xu Jiale suddenly lowered his head. When he breathed, he deliberately breathed it lightly, but his voice still made a slight gasp.

Does he really mean that he doesn't love himself?

Because I knew the answer, I was too sad to speak.

In the end, Wen Ke didn't ask any more questions, probably because she couldn't bear it.

The phone rang suddenly, and he didn't need to look to know that it was Han Jiangque who was urging him.

His sense of powerlessness had turned into heartache.

He looked at Xu Jiale sitting there, and felt that the adjective in Xu Jiale's mouth was quite appropriate, tattered.

This Alpha himself is now like a "tattered" sack, and he seems to be unable to pick up such Xu Jiale by himself.

In any case, he could still understand Xu Jiale.

Because he's done it too.

When you can't even love yourself, that is the weakest and powerless stage in a person's life.

How long it will take to regain courage seems to be an eternal mystery.

It's just that sometimes, fate may not always wait forever. If you just miss it because of this, it is really a regret in your life.

Wen Ke could only ask in a low voice: "Then what are you going to do next?"

"I... just want him to get well soon, to be able to do what he likes, and to be happy."

Xu Jiale was a little apprehensive when he opened his mouth, but he obviously really thought about this question, and he explained it in detail: "Wen Ke, when I was actually thinking about the last relationship two days ago, didn't I want to open the first internal equity in a few days? Is there a distribution meeting? I know that there will be a set of special procedures for contribution valuation, but in any case, the total shareholding of the founders is fixed, and it’s fine if there is one less person. Shares are handed over."

"Then, after a while, isn't Last Love going to be released overseas? I think that Fu Xiaoyu has always been in charge of the most overseas business, and in the future, a branch company should be established overseas and let him take over completely. Sometimes, if there is a problem with capital injection, I can..."

Wen Ke suddenly interrupted him: "I have the same considerations as you about many things. In the future, to open a company overseas, of course Fu Xiaoyu must hold more than 51% of the shares. Even including the current share distribution of the founders of LITE in China, Han Jiangque does not agree. Participate in the work, and I have already decided to withdraw. Except for the part left for the CTO and CFO, the rest should be Fu Xiaoyu. But your part, I don’t think it’s a question of what you think, but whether Fu Xiaoyu is willing or not. accepted question."

"Xu Jiale, regarding the shareholding, you should communicate with him directly during the meeting."

Wen Ke's phone rang again, he glanced down, stood up and said calmly but very directly: "You actually know how a person with a sense of boundaries Fu Xiaoyu is. So breaking up means that you and He is already a stranger, no matter how much you want to care about and love him, everything you do is unnecessary. So Xu Jiale, have you really thought about this issue clearly?"

Xu Jiale also stood up, but when he heard Wen Ke's words, he suddenly felt empty in his heart.

Yes, everything is so lame.

Because Wang Xiaoshan said "he's not good", he couldn't help but abruptly sent Tangning a message asking them to accompany Fu Xiaoyu;

Because he wanted Fu Xiaoyu to be his own boss, he thought about equity transfer and overseas capital injection.

But Wen Ke was right.

He is not Fu Xiaoyu's Alpha, without that position, without the premise of being together.

Everything he did was superfluous, and he no longer had the right to care about Fu Xiaoyu.

Thinking of this, it wasn't even pain anymore, it was just a complete emptiness in my heart.

……

Xu Jiale saw Fu Xiaoyu again, it was the afternoon of the equity distribution internal meeting.

Although he mentioned that he would try his best not to appear in front of Fu Xiaoyu, but it was impossible not to attend this meeting.

His insomnia was still very serious, so he tried his best to tidy himself up before going out, at least to a level where he could see people, and then he drove to the Gemini Tower.

The scale of LITE is expanding too fast now, and it has directly contracted the office space on the third floor of 789. In any case, the concept of shared office is probably not suitable for LITE in the future, so I heard that Fu Xiaoyu has arranged for people to find a special office building up.

The big conference room is on the 9th floor. When Xu Jiale got on the elevator, Hu Xia just got in and shouted, "Brother Xu! Why have you been there these days!"

"Something is busy."

"Nothing happened, right? You look so pale."

"It's okay, just someone from home."

"Oh." Hu Xia was still looking up and down Xu Jiale with concern, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Brother Xu, didn't you wear that one-carat big earrings today?"

"..." Xu Jiale clenched the coffee cup in his hand, paused for a second before saying vaguely, "Yeah, I didn't wear it."

Both Wen Ke and Han Jiangque had arrived, drinking hot tea in the public area on the ninth floor.

Seeing Xu Jiale, Han Jiangque turned his back in silence, clearly expressing his attitude.

Wen Ke just gave him a subtle look and said, "Xiao Yu is talking to someone, come right away."

Xu Jiale turned to look at the closed door of Fu Xiaoyu's office, and nodded silently.

One after another, the person in charge of legal affairs and Wang Jinglin, who will soon be appointed as CTO, also came. Everyone exchanged casual greetings, and after waiting for about three or four minutes, the door of Fu Xiaoyu's office was pushed open.

Xu Jiale turned his head abruptly, and it was Fu Xiaoyu who came out.

This Omega has lost a lot of weight, but in terms of demeanor, it seems to have returned to its usual appearance.

He had cut his hair a little shorter, so he looked even sharper than before.

Still sharp eyebrows, sprayed with cold perfume, wearing a mint green silk shirt with low-key silver cufflinks, and still wearing the old Rolex on her slender wrist.

He is still so good-looking, because he still takes care of himself as before, so he looks even better.

Xu Jiale told himself urgently in his heart to turn his head, a simple movement, but it was so difficult at this moment, he almost greedily tried to see every detail of Fu Xiaoyu's body in a limited second or two. clear.

But when Fu Xiaoyu came over, he didn't look at him, but greeted Han Jiang Que Wenke directly, and walked to the big conference room first.

Xu Jiale followed at the back of the group, so when he sat down, he was the furthest away from Wen Ke and Fu Xiaoyu. Instead, Wang Xiaoshan sat beside him and simply nodded his head as a greeting, "Mr. Xu."

This time the equity allocation discussion meeting has been decided long ago.

The main reason is that when Wen Ke first started his business, everything was allocated too roughly.

With the development of the last love, there will be more large-scale investment in LITE in the future, and a more perfect distribution must be made.

The equity ratio pool for investors and senior employees' dividends has already been drawn up, so the rest, in fact, is that the entire founding partner must re-divide the equity in their hands according to their contributions.

This is a cumbersome and delicate matter, not only involving the initial investment, but also the subsequent evaluation of various contributions.

Han Jiangque has not participated in the work for a long time, so he has no objection to withdrawing from the equity allocation. The new addition is CTO Wang Jinglin, and the subsequent CFO will also hold part of the equity.

The shares held by these two people are very small, and the real founding partner's big head is actually all because of Fu Xiaoyu and Wen Ke's injuries.

When it was time for Xu Jiale's part, he had just raised his idea of ​​withdrawing from participating in the equity distribution, but Fu Xiaoyu directly rejected it.

"The psychological test module of the last love is the core competitiveness of the product. Didn't you bring in this whole structure? What's more, there are still many places that M University needs to cooperate with us in the future."

Fu Xiaoyu held a parker pen and looked over.

This was the first time Xu Jiale got the chance to be stared at by the round cat eyes of this Omega today.

"I..." Xu Jiale felt his mouth dry, took a sip of coffee and said softly, "Even if I don't become a shareholder, I can still serve as a consultant to help Last Love and M University continue to cooperate."

"The question is, why?"

Fu Xiaoyu put down the pen in his hand: "Don't talk about anything else, just talk about contribution distribution, you should hold the equity. Xu Jiale—"

He paused, then said lightly, "Let's do business."

After Fu Xiaoyu said these four words, she seemed to have settled on Xu Jiale's reaction and stopped looking at her.

Just like what Wen Ke said, Xu Jiale failed to withdraw in the end, but he still insisted on taking only 0.5% of the final equity, which was less than Wang Jinglin and the others.

Others were almost as expected. Of course, Wen Ke, the founder and initial investor, was the largest shareholder. As a partner, Fu Xiaoyu was the second largest shareholder. The share was basically not much different from Wen Ke. In fact, as the CEO, he is already the absolute top leader at the executive level.

After all the agendas are roughly settled, the details no longer require the participation of shareholders.

After the meeting ended, Wen Ke pulled Wang Jinglin, Han Jiangque, Xu Jiale, and Fu Xiaoyu aside, and said something else: "About next month, Han Jiangque and I are going to hold a wedding in Phuket."

"So fast?" Xu Jiale was taken aback for a moment.

But thinking about it carefully, it wasn't that sudden. They both have children, and they only need to make up for a wedding. Before that, it was to wait for Han Jiangque to recover, but now, seeing how Han Jiangque beat him up a few days ago, it will definitely take another month. No problem.

"Well, Han Jiangque and I have thought about it. After this wedding, the Han family will probably hold it again in China. If we go outside this time, I want to be more casual. It just so happens that the last love is very good now, and I want to reward it Let’s talk about the old employees. We thought, invite our close friends and veteran employees who are in their last relationship to charter a flight together, book a big hotel by the sea, treat it as a few days of fun together, and then hold a ceremony at the seaside. Don’t worry about it, everyone. We are already making preparations here, and today I want to tell everyone in advance.”

"Okay..." Xu Jiale looked at Wen Ke. At that moment, he really had mixed feelings in his heart. He felt relieved for his friend, but also felt a little lonely: "Okay, this arrangement is very good. Wen Ke, congratulations." , and it worked out.”

Han Jiangque didn't pay attention to him, but when he heard him say "Cultivation is a positive result", he still couldn't help holding Wen Ke's hand lightly.

Fu Xiaoyu also stood aside and said softly, "Congratulations, I...I'm so happy for you."

He said this sentence very slowly and seriously.

"Mr. Fu—"

At this moment, someone shouted from behind.

Xu Jiale turned around and was surprised to see Wen Huaixuan standing behind them.

This Alpha was dressed vigorously, with the Patek Philippe still in his hand, smiling and looking at Fu Xiaoyu: "I just came up, have you finished the meeting here? Mr. Wen, you are here today."

"Mr. Wen." Wen Ke also met Wen Huaixuan because of the business cooperation between the last relationship and the Liam Hotel, and they met once in the past few days. He nodded and said, "Are you here today?"

"Oh, Mr. Fu and I continued to talk about that business, and we made an appointment to have dinner together by the way." Wen Huaixuan replied with a smile.

"Well. Just finished, let's go."

Fu Xiaoyu turned around and greeted everyone again, and just like that, she took the elevator down with Wen Huaixuan.

Wen Ke originally wanted to have a few words with Xu Jiale, but was dragged away by Han Jiangque to discuss things with Wang Jinglin. For a while, Xu Jiale stood there blankly, and there was only Wang who was still sorting out the files beside her. hill.

"Wen...has he always been here recently?"

Xu Jiale confiscated it for a while, and asked a question out of nowhere.

"I came here once or twice, and I have a lot of business contacts with Mr. Fu." Wang Xiaoshan said while typing: "Q4 Mr. Fu wants to open a branch in Vietnam, and Mr. Wen's family is also opening a hotel there. They will go to Vietnam on business trips, so there are many things to talk about.”

"Oh, okay, thanks."

Xu Jiale thanked him without thinking, and Wang Xiaoshan looked up at him inexplicably.

Xu Jiale walked to the elevator room by himself. He was a little out of his wits, so much so that when the elevator door opened, he forgot to let the people inside get out first, and rushed in in a daze.

As a result, he just bumped into Fu Xiaoyu who came out of the elevator head-on.

With a "snap", the phone in Fu Xiaoyu's hand fell to the ground.

Perhaps because the distance is too close, the perfume can't block the smell of pheromones, the scent of gloxinia and the cold scent of mint almost collide with each other like their bodies.

Fu Xiaoyu took a quick step back in the next second.

"sorry."

Only then did Xu Jiale come to his senses, but as soon as he bent down, Fu Xiaoyu also bent down at the same time——

They even bent over to pick up their phones at the same time.

The moment Xu Jiale touched Fu Xiaoyu's fingers, Xu Jiale felt as if there was static electricity on the fingertips, and his whole body throbbed for a second.

Even though the two of them didn't look at each other, they both felt that their breathing stopped for a moment.

Just that second of contact.

And only that second of contact.

In the quiet elevator, Xu Jiale could almost hear the beating of his own heart. He didn't know why he was so nervous, as if he stole that panicked second from somewhere.

Xu Jiale finally picked up the phone, and silently handed it to Fu Xiaoyu who stood up.

"I forgot a document, come up and get it."

Fu Xiaoyu took the phone and didn't look at Xu Jiale again. After a hasty confession, she walked straight towards the office.

He really forgot a document, went back to his office and opened the drawer to find the document, but suddenly saw the small blue velvet box stuffed in the innermost part of the drawer.

A few days ago, Han Jiangque told him bitterly that he had taken back the diamond earrings from Xu Jiale, and then returned the small box to him.

Although he felt it was completely unnecessary, at that time, he still patted Han Jiangque's arm lightly and said thank you.

But now, Fu Xiaoyu stood in the office where he was the only one, and opened the box for the first time after taking it back.

The diamond earrings were shining brightly under the light, and he watched silently for a few seconds before closing the box and stuffing it back into the innermost drawer.
