Chapter 6: The Silent Encounter
It was already dark, my soul seemed to be peeling off from my body, I couldn't sleep, and the past scenes occupied all my thoughts like an unstoppable flood.
I finally couldn't bear it and had the idea of escaping from here...
I left the hotel and wandered in this city known as a paradise on earth.
Last month, autumn began, and the rain has increased recently. After every rain, the weather has become colder. It has also rained this night, but it has fallen so tactfully, just like the delicate and classical nature of this city...
There are not many pedestrians on the street. Sometimes I see some girls wearing coats on the upper body but dresses on the lower body. They look a little funny. This unexpected rain in the evening wet their love for beauty.
A sound of fireworks burst suddenly came. I looked at it, but there was no splendid fireworks. I turned around and found that it was the song MV played on the giant display screen in front of the square. It was Stefanie Sun's "I Miss" and I finally saw the gorgeous fireworks and Stefanie Sun's lonely and lonely expression on the display screen!
I stopped and just watched the MV, speechless...
In the blur, Stefanie Sun's face gradually became Angel, and she sang this song instead of Stefanie Sun...
"What I miss is saying everything, what I miss is dreaming together, what I miss is the urge to love you after a quarrel, I remember that year's birthday, and that song, I remember that starry sky, the tightest right hand, and the warmest chest, I miss the speechless touch, what I miss is absolutely passionate, I miss you are very excited, begging me for forgiveness and hugging me so much, I remember you are behind you, I remember trembling, I remember feeling surging, the most beautiful fireworks, the longest embrace... Who loves too freely, who goes too far, who wants to leave my heart, who forgets that is a promise, who walks on his own, who forgets to look at me, who makes love heavier?..."
"Who loves too freely, who is too far away, who wants to leave my heart, who forgets that is a promise, who walks on his own, who forgets to look at me, who makes love heavier?" The lyrics of the lines make me be questioned in my nostalgia...
The message prompt ring rings again, I picked it up and looked at it: "Pipi is very well-behaved today, and now she is going to sleep. Good night, dad!"
"Good night, baby son." I replied to the message and gradually felt relieved. For Pipi, I could choose anything, even if it was pain, as long as he was happy, I would not be despaired.
.........
The next day, Han Feng and I attended the catering industry development summit on time. We calculated that it was relatively late, but the scale was larger than expected, and a lot of media came to the scene.
As soon as Han Feng and I entered the market, we remembered the interview. Over the past year, our achievements in the catering industry have been impressive enough.
The public meeting lasted for an hour and a half, and then we attended the exchange meeting between the bosses.
Han Feng and I sat at the end of the conference table, and the others sat in turn.
The meeting was chaired by a president of the Catering Association and is also the executive director of a domestic catering group.
As usual, some clichés at the beginning of the meeting were clichés, which lasted for about 20 minutes. His finger suddenly pointed at Han Feng and me: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Han, members of our catering association, have many behaviors that reflect your unfair competition. Can you give a reasonable explanation?"
I glanced at everyone and asked calmly: "What do you mean by saying we have unfair competition?"
Someone here immediately responded: "Our company was poached two senior management by your company last month... Your behavior of poaching people at a premium will undoubtedly disrupt the order of the industry and increase the employee costs of each company!"
Someone immediately agreed: "Yes...yes...yes...yes, our company was also poached three senior executives last month... This is really unreasonable!"
Then someone pointed the finger at me: "In addition to poaching people at a premium, you are also too targeting other catering brands in the company's marketing strategy. We cannot accept this disguised monopoly operation..."
Everyone's emotions were immediately ignited, and the more they spoke, the more angry they became. The person in charge of a catering group slapped the table and pointed at Han Feng and said, "Young people should not be too arrogant when doing things..."
I sneered, then my fingers hit the table and said angrily: "Do you still call a young man if you are not angry..."
There was no sound at the scene...... During this year, every similar meeting, Han Feng and I would become the target of public criticism because we challenged the so-called industry rules and violated the interests of others. This time it was the most criticized, and my anger was ignited!
I stood up and said, "Any industry is developing in competition. Instead of accuse me here, it is better to reflect on what your problem lies. Talent flow is a normal phenomenon in any industry. The most fundamental reason for attracting them to our company is not what you call premium poaching, but the vitality and prospects shown by our company... Regarding your criticism of our marketing policy, it is even more ridiculous. If marketing is not targeting competitors in the same industry and seeking more markets, what is the meaning of marketing?"
Those who participated in the meeting on site, over 40 years ago, are generally conservative in their operations and lack of innovative consciousness, which makes their company passive, but put the blame on the competitive behavior of rising stars. It is really ridiculous!
After I finished speaking, I glanced at everyone coldly, waiting for the rebuttal to appear.
......
The door was suddenly opened, and everyone's eyes, which were originally concentrated on me, were all diverted, including me...
When I saw her for the first time, my heart seemed to be penetrated by thousands of arrows. This is when I saw her again after a year and a half...
She was wearing a black smoking suit, lined with a white shirt, and a faint smokey look on her face. She had a sharp expression and was serious and serious, as if she had brought about a cold wave!
I stared at her in shock. She looked like a stranger and walked towards the head of the table. Someone immediately gave up her seat to her.
The president stood up to greet him: "President An, welcome... Welcome, I thought you would not come to attend this meeting!"
"Sorry, some things have been delayed. Please sit down... The meeting will continue." An Qi put down the bag in her hand and said to everyone.
Han Feng asked in my ear incredible way: "Why is she here?"
I shook my head... I never dreamed that Angel and I would meet again on such occasions.
After Anqi sat down, she never looked at me...
The people who were originally speechless as I said suddenly seemed to have confidence and pointed the finger at me again, and even asked me to return the senior executives of the company I had dug up and issue a written apology statement.
Angel's sudden appearance made my heart full of countless emotions. I could not hear any sound except seeing faces that were yelling.
