cloud waterfront

Xue Lida slept comfortably, got up and had breakfast, and then recharged the mobile phone that was thrown on the coffee table.There were several missed calls, but she didn't want to answer any of them. She just called Zhao Ting and asked about the company's latest situation.When she learned that Su Jie had been fired, she realized the seriousness of the problem.

After changing her clothes, she drove straight to the hospital. Although her vacation was not over yet, she knew that Wu Ruoyang alone could not deal with such a big trouble at this time.

Wu Ruoyang's ward is easy to find. When you get out of the elevator on the VIP floor, go to the left, and you will find the suite at the end.When Xue Lida walked out of the elevator and turned into the corridor, she saw two people coming towards her, as if they had just come out of that ward.One of them she recognized was Ren Hao.

Ren Hao walked silently to the elevator behind Ye Zonglin, not daring to show his breath, he only looked up at Xue Lida, and forced a smile as a greeting.

After brushing past the two of them, Xue Lida looked back again, feeling a little puzzled.She hesitated for a moment before continuing to walk towards the ward.

The door of the ward was open, and the living room was empty.Xue Lida looked around, and walked slowly to the room inside, only to see that the bedding on the hospital bed had been neatly folded, and the room was as clean as if no one had ever lived in it.

On the sofa by the window, Wu Ruoyang sat there alone, his eyes glazed over and he didn't know what to think.The stitches on the wound on her forehead have been removed, and the gauze has been replaced with a Band-Aid. There is a travel bag on the coffee table in front of her, and it seems that she is packed and ready to leave.

"Are you leaving the hospital?" Xue Lida asked.

Only then did Wu Ruoyang slowly turn his head to look at her. "Um."

Xue Lida walked over, wanting to ask about the company, but seeing Wu Ruoyang's pale face and very sluggish expression, she restrained herself from opening her mouth.After an embarrassing silence for a while, she asked again: "Who came with Mr. Ren just now?"

Wu Ruoyang stared blankly at the coffee table in front of him, his expression became more and more painful, and it took a while before he replied, "Annie's father."

"That's him?" Xue Lida suddenly felt that the face she saw just now was very familiar.

"It's him." Wu Ruoyang spoke weakly, with despair in his words, "Ye Zonglin..."

Xue Lida opened her mouth in surprise, and asked after a long time: "Ye Zonglin from Huacai Media?"

Wu Ruoyang nodded slowly.

Xue Lida was extremely shocked. The face she saw in the corridor just now gradually overlapped with the person she had seen on TV, newspapers and magazines.Ye Zonglin, the chairman of the board of directors of Huacai Media Group, is a well-known figure in the entire Asian media circle!How could she not know him?It's just that I never thought he would appear here, so I didn't recognize him just now.

At this time, Xue Lida finally understood why Wu Ruoyang had such a half-dead look in front of her. She could guess the general idea of ​​the conversation in the ward just now without asking.Ye Han has such a family background, and Ye Zonglin obviously already knew about the relationship between the two. In this way, there is no suspense between Wu Ruoyang and Ye Han, and the ending is self-evident.

This time it was Xue Lida's turn to be silent.But Wu Ruoyang suddenly came back to his senses, seeing her standing beside her for a while, so he forced a smile at her: "Sit down."

Xue Lida glanced at Wu Ruoyang, but didn't answer, just reached for the travel bag on the coffee table. "I'll take you back."

Wu Ruoyang stood up slowly and said, "Let's go to the company."

"Are you still in the mood to work?"

Before Wu Ruoyang could answer, Xue Lida turned around and walked out with her bag in hand.

In the elevator, Wu Ruoyang turned to look at Xue Lida, and asked, "Didn't you travel abroad? Are you back so soon?"

Xue Lida was silent for a moment before replying, "I just came back last night."

"Didn't you take Tongtong with you?"

Xue Lida just stared at the numbers on the floor display without answering.

Wu Ruoyang glanced at her, and asked again: "Did you... have a fight?"

"No, we are fine." Xue Lida recalled the journey back yesterday, only felt that this trip seemed to make her a little sentimental, if she changed to the past, she must be ridiculed by herself.

After a while, Wu Ruoyang said again: "During the holiday, spend more time with her."

"I will."

The two got into the car, and Xue Lida drove straight to Wu Ruoyang's house.Along the way, Wu Ruoyang closed his eyes and leaned tiredly on the back of the seat.

Xue Lida also remained silent, but halfway there, she changed her mind and turned around, heading towards the Dianchi Dam.

In the past, when Wu Ruoyang and Su Jie were extremely bored or depressed, they would always meet up on the stone embankment of the dam to feed the seagulls or watch the sunset.There are no seagulls and the sun hasn't set yet, but the sea breeze is better than being stuck in the house.

Wu Ruoyang did not raise any objections, and after getting out of the car, he followed Xue Lida slowly up the dam platform, and sat down on the stone embankment.

Xue Lida didn't want to sit on such a hard place, she preferred to stand by the lamp post on the stone embankment, with her back to Dianchi Lake.She didn't expect Wu Ruoyang to confide in her, and she also knew that Wu Ruoyang almost never confide in anyone, so she just stood silently, neither saying nor asking anything.

After a long time, Wu Ruoyang whispered as if talking to himself: "Is there any smoke?"

Xue Lida turned her head and glanced at her, then replied calmly: "I quit."

Even though she said so, Xue Lida went to a nearby store, bought a pack of cigarettes, and handed it to Wu Ruoyang along with the lighter.

Wu Ruoyang took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and then coughed violently.

Xue Lida didn't say a word, she still had an indifferent expression on her face, she turned her head slightly and squinted at her.

Wu Ruoyang calmed down a little, and then took another deep breath.Xue Lida crossed her hands, stood against the lamp post for a while in silence, then walked over to take the cigarette case from Wu Ruoyang's hand, took out a cigarette and lit it herself.

The two of them didn't say a word, one was looking at the vast lake, the other was facing the bushes and the street, quietly swallowing clouds and fog.

Wu Ruoyang didn't tell Xue Lida the cause of the incident until he finished smoking, including what he talked with Ye Zonglin on the phone, and what Ye Zonglin said in the ward this morning.

Xue Lida didn't speak from the beginning to the end, nor did she give any advice, until her legs were numb, she said: "Let's go."

Wu Ruoyang slowly turned around and jumped off the stone embankment, looked at Xue Lida and asked, "Are you really planning to resign?"

Xue Lida didn't answer, and stood there with her hands in her pockets and her head bowed.

Wu Ruoyang stared at her for a while and said, "Stay here, the company needs you."

After leaving the dam and returning to the car, the two went straight to the company.As soon as I arrived at the company, I didn't take a moment off. The three departments under the jurisdiction of the marketing center were like ants on a hot pot, especially the sales department was in a mess.

The marketing department has been relatively idle recently, so Xue Lida urgently divided the marketing department personnel into two groups, one group assists the sales department in customer comfort and case management, and the other group cooperates with the planning department to deal with this public relations crisis.

In addition, the recent public relations activity plans submitted by the planning department will be quickly reviewed and approved.As for the application for marketing and promotion expenses, as long as Wu Ruoyang nodded and agreed, they would all be given the green light.

And Xue Lida herself temporarily managed the sales department.Although the entire marketing center is temporarily under the direct leadership of Mr. Tang, after Mr. Gao left, Mr. Tang had to deal with the company's complicated affairs, and he had already had a headache.Except for important matters, the head of the sales department did not dare to disturb Mr. Tang at will.After Xue Lida arrived, the chaotic situation in the sales department was slightly brought under control.

Wu Ruoyang spent an afternoon reviewing a bunch of project promotional materials, marketing campaign copywriting, and the company's image promotional video, and arranged to increase the scope of outdoor advertising.

By the time she stopped what she was doing and got up to stretch her muscles, it was sunset again, and Xue Lida had already ordered takeaways for all her colleagues who worked overtime.

Looking at the exhausted faces of his colleagues, Wu Ruoyang couldn't take a bite of food, so he sat alone in the tea room for a long time with the boxed lunch.She tried her best to distract herself and think about some relaxing things, then took out her mobile phone and flipped through the unchecked text messages one by one.

Only then did she realize that Ye Han had sent her a text message yesterday: "I can't stay with you all the time during this time, you have to take care of yourself."

Then there was another: "You have to remember, no matter what happens, I will stand with you."

At this moment, Wu Ruoyang really wanted to see Ye Han's face, and really wanted to hold her in his arms.But there is always a voice in my mind asking: "Don't you think you are too selfish? In order to chase your love, you will give up everything around you, and you will not hesitate to hurt others in exchange for it. Even if you get this kind of love, you can feel at ease. enjoy it?"

Wu Ruoyang's head was in a mess, so he simply returned to the office and plunged into work again.She worked overtime until after nine o'clock, and she and Xue Lida left the company when all the other colleagues quit work.

When they came to the parking lot, Xue Lida insisted on taking Wu Ruoyang home, but Wu Ruoyang refused to get in the car.

"You go first, I want to see Helen."

Xue Lida was silent for a moment, and opened the car door. "go together."

When the car arrived at the gate of the community where Su Jie lived, Xue Lida stopped on the side of the road and said expressionlessly, "I'll wait for you in the car."

Wu Ruoyang glanced at her, knowing that the two of them might not want to see each other for the time being, so he nodded and got out of the car alone.

Just as he was about to enter the gate of the community, Wu Ruoyang saw Wang Jiaming walking towards him on the sidewalk, with a bag full of canned beer in his hand.

"Buy so much wine?"

Wang Jiaming looked up and saw Wu Ruoyang, so he slowed down, looked down at the heavy bag in his hand, feeling a little depressed. "She drank all the wine at home."

Wu Ruoyang's expression didn't change, but his heart was tightly gripped.

"She still wants to drink, I can't persuade her." Wang Jiaming shook his head helplessly and walked towards the community.

Wu Ruoyang followed behind Wang Jiaming, walked through the neighborhood with his head down, entered the quiet corridor, and went upstairs to the familiar door.As soon as the door opened, there was a strong smell of alcohol.

From the living room to the terrace, there are empty wine bottles all the way, and I didn't even see the snack packaging bags, they were all wine bottles.

Before Wu Ruoyang reached the terrace, he heard Su Jie's voice floating from the terrace.

"Why hasn't the wine come..."

"Here we come." Wang Jiaming glanced at Wu Ruoyang, and hurriedly carried the bag to the terrace.

Wu Ruoyang didn't dare to go any further, the smell of alcohol in the room made her very uncomfortable, what was even more uncomfortable was Su Jie's uncharacteristically hoarse voice.

After the pull tab of the beer can was pulled open, the sound of the beer pouring into the throat was heard.Then, Su Jie smacked her lips, let out a long sigh, and complained, "It's not good."

"It's not good and you still drink so much?" Wang Jiaming blamed and felt distressed.

"You don't care about me!" Su Jie said, pushing Wang Jiaming away with all her strength, and then burst into tears.

Wang Jiaming panicked, and quickly coaxed: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't cry."

Wu Ruoyang took light steps, walked to the door of the terrace very slowly, and looked at the two people beside the terrace wall.I saw Su Jie sitting on the ground with her back against the wall, holding a pillow in her arms, buried her head in the pillow and cried very sadly.And Wang Jiaming sat aside dejectedly, helpless.

"Am I very useless..." Su Jie's indistinct voice came from the gap between her head and the pillow.

"Of course not!" Wang Jiaming retorted immediately.

"You liar!" Su Jie plunged into Wang Jiaming's arms suddenly, and cried bitterly while hugging him, "I just don't have this ability! If I knew this, why would I fight for the marketing director?! Do you think I'm stupid? ? Isn't it stupid..."

Wu Ruoyang moved his eyes away from Su Jie's trembling shoulders, looked up at the boundless night, tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Wang Jiaming patted Su Jie's back lightly, leaned his head against the wall weakly, and stared blankly at the beer cans on the floor.After a while, seeing Wu Ruoyang turned around and walked into the living room, he quickly helped Su Jie who was still muttering to sit up, and got up to see off the guests.

Wu Ruoyang came to the door, turned to look at Wang Jiaming, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Wang Jiaming smiled and said, "It's okay, I will go out with her for a few days to relax."

Wu Ruoyang stood blankly for a while, then stepped out of the door, turned around and said to Wang Jiaming, "Don't tell her I've been here."

Naturally, Wang Jiaming knew that Su Jie would not want Wu Ruoyang to see what she looked like today, so he nodded and silently watched Wu Ruoyang leave.

When Xue Lida saw Wu Ruoyang walking out of the community like a ghost, she knew that Su Jie's situation was not optimistic.She was absorbed in the car, but she didn't see Wu Ruoyang getting into the car for a long time. When she looked out of the car window, she saw Wu Ruoyang sitting on the steps outside the gate of the community, with her hands resting on her forehead, looking very depressed.

Xue Lida got out of the car, walked to Wu Ruoyang, stood for a while before asking, "Is she okay?"

Wu Ruoyang shook her head slowly, the wound on her forehead was tingling under the friction of her palm, but she didn't seem to notice it.

"I killed her..." Wu Ruoyang's voice was choked up.

Xue Lida turned her head and looked away, feeling a little stuffy in her chest, but she didn't know how to speak out to persuade her.

After a while, Wu Ruoyang took out his mobile phone with a wry smile, opened the address book, and murmured, "I killed everyone..."

When Xue Lida turned around again, she saw Wu Ruoyang holding the phone and pressing the keyboard quickly.She got closer, glanced at the phone screen, and saw that Wu Ruoyang had just entered a text message: "Mr. Ye, I lost."

Xue Lida hurried forward and snatched the phone, but saw three words pop up on the screen - "Sent."

"Is that all you have the guts to do?!" Xue Lida glared at Wu Ruoyang with an angry face.

Wu Ruoyang smiled sadly and said, "Otherwise what else can I do?"

Xue Lida stared at her for a while, but felt helpless, so she asked again: "Have you really thought it through?"

Wu Ruoyang lowered his head and remained silent.

Xue Lida sighed secretly, and slowly sat down beside Wu Ruoyang, put the phone back into her hand, and said in a low voice, "Think about how to explain it to Ye Han."
