Chapter 71 Dilemma

After Su Jie explained the final work, she politely declined the farewell banquet of her colleagues in the sales department, packed her things and walked out of the department office area.When she came to the empty planning department, she saw that Wu Ruoyang's office was still open, and the light in the room was a little dark, but she still didn't turn on the light.

Wu Ruoyang sat alone on the sofa by the window, with his elbows on his knees and his face buried in his hands.

Su Jie walked over gently, and poked her on the head with a finger like she did in school, and said, "If you don't go back, the doctor must be mad? Come on, I'll take you back."

Wu Ruoyang didn't look up, and a vague voice came out from between her fingers: "I still have something to do, you go first."

Su Jie rubbed her hair, and said with a mocking tone: "Crazy! As for it? Get up!"

Wu Ruoyang couldn't face Su Jie, no matter how indifferent the expression on that face was, she couldn't accept the reality in front of her.President Tang told her that the chairman was furious at the meeting this morning, accusing the marketing center of not doing a good job in media public relations, and Su Jie, as the marketing director, was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Now that Su Jie's resignation notice has been sent out throughout the company, and even the handover work has been completed, there is no room for recovery at this moment.

"Boss Tang didn't teach you a lesson, did he?" Su Jie asked.

Wu Ruoyang slowly shook his head, still covering his face with his hands and refused to take them off.

"That's good." Su Jie said, looking up at the glimmer of light coming in from the window, she smiled helplessly, "I can't handle this matter. It's up to you now, you must be sure." Can't break."

Wu Ruoyang felt sad for a while, it doesn't matter what others talk about, but now, even Su Jie herself began to doubt her ability to work.

Su Jie took out a car key from her bag, removed Wu Ruoyang's two fingers and stuffed it into her hand, then said: "The car has been repaired, and it is like new now. I have already parked it downstairs at your house."

Wu Ruoyang didn't speak, but tightly covered her cheeks with her hands, tears gradually wetted her fingers.

Right now, her best friend has become her scapegoat, and she lost this job that many people would not envy. All these years of hard work were in vain.And she didn't even know how to tell the other party that it was all because of her.If someone could slap her or scold her severely at this time, she might feel a little bit at ease.

"I'm leaving first, Lao Wang is still waiting for me to eat. You go back early." After Su Jie finished speaking, she pressed Wu Ruoyang's head again, then turned and walked out.

It was getting darker and earlier, and when Wu Ruoyang opened his eyes and leaned against the back of the sofa, he could hardly see anything in the office, except for the faint light coming in from the window, and the outlines of the tables and chairs could be vaguely distinguished.

She took out her mobile phone and looked at Ye Han's name in the address book for a long time, but couldn't help but press the call button.

In a villa in the suburbs, Ye Han, who had just had dinner, sat on the sofa with his parents.When the phone rang, she glanced at the coffee table, but didn't move.

Ye Zonglin casually browsed the newspaper in his hand, and asked casually, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Ding Huiyi looked at Ye Han's phone, and then at Ye Han.

Ye Han stared at the phone, the name flashing on the screen made it hard for her to breathe.After the ringing stopped, she sighed silently and moved closer to her father.

"Dad, if you're not happy, I don't have to see her, and I won't contact her. I just beg you, don't embarrass her anymore. "

Ye Zonglin was silent for a while, then put down the newspaper, and turned to look at Ye Han. "I didn't mean to embarrass her, I just wanted her to understand something."

Ye Han took his father's arm and begged, "She didn't do anything wrong, so just let her go."

"Let her go?" Ye Zonglin smiled, "Don't you want to see how deep her feelings for you are?"

"dad……"

"To be honest, I don't care whether the person you like is a man or a woman. What I care about is that this person must be worthy of my daughter. If this thing can break her down, you say, how can I trust you? give her?"

Ye Han lowered his head and remained silent, and Ding Huiyi just looked at the father and daughter without saying a word, unwilling to make a statement.

Ye Zonglin went on to say: "How can you be sure that she will not abandon you in the face of even bigger storms in the future?"

No matter how many people stay up all night, the whole world still works as usual.When the early morning sun filled the ward, Wu Ruoyang was lying on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. She didn't have the strength to go to the company again, and after calling Xiao Xia to explain the work tasks, she closed her eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.

When the whole company was busy with this public relations crisis, only Xue Lida was the most leisurely.Mr. Tang gave her a whole month's long vacation. When she went out, she threw her mobile phone on the coffee table, not wanting anyone to find her.

Xue Lida did not travel abroad, but came to the ancient town where she and Liang Yutong had been together.The same pure sunshine and air, the same tranquility and comfort, but the breeze blowing across the cheeks brought a little coolness.

In that small bar, the owner's cat is still lying lazily on the bar counter, squinting and taking a nap.Xue Lida hugged it, and sat by the window where the two had sat together.Perhaps it is here that she can clearly remember her identity as a "girlfriend".

The town outside the window is so peaceful and comfortable, and this world should be so beautiful, but her love is a hopeless road that must be walked in the dark and has no end in sight.Although she has repeatedly questioned her feelings and thought about giving up more than once, she is obsessed with not wanting to turn back.

Xue Lida stared blankly out of the window, inadvertently, the words Liang Yutong said to her once flashed in her mind: "What you like is this kind of possession?"

The torrent of memories poured out, and scenes of the past came to mind.She suddenly found that she never seemed to look at everything from the perspective of the other party, and almost never even tried empathy in front of anyone.The first thing that comes to mind is always the goal you want to achieve, but leave the other person's feelings behind.

Xue Lida smiled self-deprecatingly, such a simple and easy-to-understand reason, but she has never seriously introspected.She lowered her head and gently stroked the sleeping cat lying on her lap, muttering to herself: "Yeah, all I ever thought about was how to take her as my own, but never asked what she needed, no Think about how you can make her life easier."

After returning to the inn, Xue Lida packed her things and checked out.She dragged the suitcase out of the inn, and when she walked through the alley paved with bluestone slabs in front of the door, she looked up and saw a person standing far away at the entrance of the alley, it was Liang Yutong.

Liang Yutong was still wearing the floral dress from last time, but she had an extra coat on her body.She smiled faintly, stepped in front of Xue Lida, reached out and took the handle of the suitcase.

"You've been out for a few days, it's time to go home." Liang Yutong spoke softly, with warm expectations in his eyes.

Xue Lida looked at her carefully for a while, smiled slightly, and asked, "How do you know I'm here?"

A smug look flashed across Liang Yutong's smile: "I guessed that you would come here."

Just like the bright sunshine at this moment, Xue Lida saw the eyes in front of her, full of undisguised love.Even if the whole world couldn't see it, she could feel it clearly.

Xue Lida slowly stretched out her hand, took the suitcase again, then held Liang Yutong's hand with her other hand, and walked out of the alley side by side with her.

When she came to another inn where Liang Yutong was staying, Xue Lida found out that Liang Yutong had already lived in this town for two days.In the past two days, I only went to the inn where she lived, and confirmed to the boss that she had checked in. Other than that, I just waited in the room all day for the phone call.

Xue Lida watched Liang Yutong finish the check-out procedures, and then asked, "Since you're here, why didn't you come to me?"

"I know you want to be alone." Liang Yutong smiled and took her arm, "I heard that you are going to check out today, so I came here to wait for you."

In the afternoon, the two returned to Kunming by the same train as last time.On the way, Liang Yutong told Xue Lida about the media reports about Baishi that he had heard in the past two days.

After listening, Xue Lida remained silent, and after a while she said to Liang Yutong: "Call Wu Ruoyang and ask her what's going on."

"I called yesterday. She seems to be very busy and didn't have time to talk to me carefully."

Xue Lida didn't want to call Su Jie, but she couldn't remember the numbers of other people in the company, so she said, "Call another one."

Liang Yutong nodded, took out his mobile phone and dialed Wu Ruoyang's number. After waiting for a long time, he only waited for a sentence: "The number you dialed is temporarily unanswered..."

In the ward, Wu Ruoyang's cell phone was quietly lying on the table. It had been set to silent mode, and even the vibration was turned off. There were a bunch of missed calls and countless greeting text messages on the screen.

She was in a daze all day, waking up and sleeping for a while, almost never fully awake.Once awake, she had to endure a splitting headache, and she had to ask the doctor to give her some painkillers and sedatives.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the landline on the desk rang.Wu Ruoyang turned over and reached out to pick up the phone. Xiao Xia's voice came from the receiver: "Have dinner with the editor-in-chief of Real Estate Weekly at six, and I'll pick you up at five."

"understood."

"Uh... Also," Xiaoxia's voice sounded anxious, "I saw some bad news on the Internet..."

"what news?"

"Someone spread rumors in our owner forum, saying... that Baishi Real Estate is about to collapse..."

Wu Ruoyang listened silently, she had already expected this kind of rumor to appear, and she was powerless to be angry about it.

Xiao Xia added: "There are also people who say that Yunshui'an can't pay the house, and encourage everyone to ask for a refund."

"You know what to do."

"Well, I'll deal with it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Ruoyang propped himself up and sat up, rubbing the space between his brows.These rumors can be blocked one by one, but they will only get more and more blocked.If the media problem is not resolved, it is hard to say whether Baishi will be destroyed in a public relations crisis like this.

She braced herself up, washed her face, changed her clothes for going out, and then came to the doctor's office.After discussing with the doctor for a long time, the doctor finally agreed that she would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, but asked her to rest at home for a week before going to work.

Xiaoxia came to the hospital on time, picked up Wu Ruoyang and went to the dinner together.This real estate weekly is the only media that has not published negative/news about Baishi, because this magazine is published once a week, and a review article about Baishi is scheduled to be published in the next issue two days later.

It has been a long time since Wu Ruoyang has worked so hard to cope with such a meal. She called Xiao Xia not to stop her from drinking, but because she was worried that she would not have the strength to go back to the hospital after being drunk.

After drinking several bottles of white wine with a table of big and small leaders, and promised to buy out the back cover advertisement for a year, Real Estate Weekly finally agreed to withdraw the manuscript that was going to be published two days later.

But Wu Ruoyang couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, because there are countless media that she needs to manage, and the more well-known media, the harder it is to deal with.Not to mention the huge cost, just at this speed, by the time every media has been negotiated, Baishi may be unable to recover.She knew that the fate of the entire company was in her hands right now, and she couldn't afford to wait for a moment.

At night, Xiaoxia sent Wu Ruoyang, who smelled of alcohol, back to the hospital, avoided the nurse on duty, and sneaked into the ward.After Wu Ruoyang explained tomorrow's work, he advised Xiaoxia to go home and rest.At this time, the colleagues in the planning department are probably still rushing to draft the public relations activity plan for the sales center and the case field in the company.

After Xiaoxia left, Wu Ruoyang sat alone on the sofa in a daze. Although he was exhausted, his mind was extremely clear.Thinking of Su Jie who was innocently implicated, thinking of the busy colleagues who worked overtime, and thinking of the whole Baishi, she was unable to recall her original intention, and only a heavy sense of guilt remained in her heart.

In the dead of night, she slowly got up and walked to the table, picked up the phone and dialed Ye Zonglin's number. "Uncle Ye, I want to see you."

The author has something to say: I seem to swallow comments again today?Speechless...

The author's code words are getting slower and slower, but he is working hard every day, and the goal is to return to the speed of daily updates (-_-;)

In short, let’s finish it as soon as possible after the holiday, everyone Happy Friday!
