"Hello, Manager Xiao, what brings you here?"
"I need to see General Manager Yang. General Manager Xu asked me to deliver something."
"Xu Shao?"
"Yes."
"Then you can give it to me, and I'll pass it on for you."
"No, General Manager Xu insisted that I hand it over to General Manager Yang personally."
Manager Xiao shook his head as he spoke.
The Yang Group executive who recognized Manager Xiao understood the situation.
Without further ado, he led the way.
"General Manager Yang's schedule has been packed lately. I'm not sure if she's still in her office. Come with me first."
Manager Xiao jogged to keep up.
Inside a spacious and luxurious CEO's office,
the desk was piled high with documents waiting to be processed.
Yang Jingying was busy going through them one by one.
These were tasks that should have been handled by her secretary,
but Yang Jingying had taken them all on herself!
Time heals all wounds.
Like ginger slices soaked in beer,
over time, the bitterness fades.
Time smooths out all pain.
In the blink of an eye, time flies by.
That's what most people believe.
But for Yang Jingying,
time dragged on unbearably!!!
She wished that as soon as she opened her eyes, all the pain would vanish on its own.
And as soon as she closed them, all memories of Xu Mo would disappear.
Ideals are beautiful.
Reality is harsh.
The more you try to forget something, the harder it becomes.
So Yang Jingying forced herself to stay busy.
Busy to the point of exhaustion.
Then, those troubling thoughts would naturally fade away.
At first, it worked somewhat.
But now, the effect was almost negligible.
*Clatter—*
The ballpoint pen in Yang Jingying's hand fell to the floor,
making a crisp sound.
Upon closer inspection,
it wasn't hard to see that her face looked somewhat haggard.
It seemed to be due to overwork recently.
Yang Jingying paused, then smiled mockingly at herself.
"He doesn't care, so why should you care so much?"
"Overworking isn't helping anymore. Maybe leaving this place and starting a new life somewhere else would be better."
She bent down to pick up the pen from the floor.
The more she thought about it, the more it made sense.
Once, she wanted to earn a lot of money,
so she could spend it on the person she loved in the future.
To bridge the gap between her family and his.
But now, that person was gone.
Who would she spend the money on?
Thinking of this,
Yang Jingying pushed the documents in front of her aside.
She began searching for other cities on her computer,
preferably ones far away from here.
The scenery didn't matter.
Perhaps only then
would she feel a little better.
Soon,
Yang Jingying had made her decision.
At the same time,
there was a knock on the door.
"General Manager Yang, it's me."
"Come in."
Yang Jingying didn't look up, her eyes fixed on the computer screen. "You're just in time. Help me book a flight to the Western Regions. The sooner, the better. This afternoon, if possible. A flight in two hours."
Her secretary blinked, confused, but nodded.
"Understood, General Manager Yang."
"Oh, and these documents on the desk—you can handle them from now on."
"Of course, General Manager Yang. That's what we're here for."
"Was there something else you needed?"
"I came to—oh!"
The secretary suddenly remembered why she was there.
She quickly explained the situation in detail.
*Heh heh heh* (super cold)-------------------- Damn that man!
Back then, you ignored me. Now, you're not even worth my time!
A few seconds later,
"Go and bring him in!"
"Y-yes, right away."
"Never mind, I'll go myself. You're too slow."
Yang Jingying muttered under her breath, quickening her pace.
The sound of her purple high heels *click-clacked* rapidly as she strode toward the door.
Manager Xiao was somewhat flustered when he saw Yang Jingying come out to greet him personally.
"General Manager Yang, h-hello..."
"Do you have what he sent?"
"Ah, yes, right here."
Manager Xiao hurriedly handed over the item.
Yang Jingying took it and casually asked,
"Did he say anything else?"
Manager Xiao thought carefully, then replied,
"Yes, he did!"
Yang Jingying's dormant heart reignited, beating once more!
"What did he say?"
"He told me to hand this over to you personally."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
...
"See him out!"
Yang Jingying's attitude shifted instantly.
Her tone turned icy.
She then walked back into her office.
*Bang!*
She slammed the door shut behind her!
Both women were stunned.
After a moment,
the secretary awkwardly smiled, trying to smooth things over. "Manager Xiao, General Manager Yang has been extremely busy lately."
Manager Xiao's lips twitched, forcing a smile.
"I understand, I understand. We're all women. I've been irritable lately too. It's that time of life, you know. Can't fight it."
"Would you like something to drink?"
"No need, no need. I'm not thirsty."
"Then let me walk you out. Feel free to visit again sometime."
"Of course, of course. Next time for sure."
Back in her office,
Yang Jingying couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret.
She had acted too impulsively just now.
The way she had behaved
made her look like a resentful, petty woman.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
The more she tried to let it go, the more it bothered her.
Damn it, this is so frustrating!!!!
"Just drop dead already!"
Yang Jingying's heartstrings were tugged once more.
She casually flung the document Xu Mo had sent across the room.
Her movements were smooth, effortless, and full of flair,
exuding the aura of a cold and aloof female CEO.
Yang Jingying sat back down in her chair,
but her gaze kept drifting toward the document.
Finally,
after five minutes of struggling in the abyss of blood and darkness...
Yang Jingying chose to give in.
*Sigh*... Fine, I'll take a look!
