When I was on a business trip, the female manager deliberately went to my room by mistake, but she stayed there for the night.In the journey of life, we often encounter some unexpected plots, like a wonderful TV series. And I, on a business trip, experienced an unexpected love affair with my colleague Sister Li. It was a trip to Shanghai full of suspense and emotional twists and turns, and I felt the drama of life firsthand.
In Shanghai in March, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Sister Li and I were dispatched to this bustling city on an important business mission. Sister Li is a senior manager of the company, smart and capable, and deeply loved by her colleagues. We're not just colleagues, we're friends. However, this business trip uncovered Sister Li's deep dissatisfaction.
Sister Li led our department to deal with a large order from Shanghai, and the client of this project turned out to be her college classmate, ex-boyfriend, Mr. Wang. The past grievances have made the relationship between the two complicated and profound.
Sister Li once rejected Mr. Wang's pursuit because she thought he was selfish, arrogant, and cunning. Although Mr. Wang is calm on the surface, he has always been haunted in his heart, thinking that Sister Li looks down on him.
Sister Li and Mr. Wang are both top students majoring in computer science, and are known as the golden boys and girls on campus. Mr. Wang fell in love with Sister Li at first sight and pursued her for a long time, but Sister Li always refused.
After graduating, they went their separate ways and made their mark in the workplace. Mr. Wang became the general manager of a well-known company with his talent and means, got married, had children, and lived a wealthy life. Sister Li was promoted to senior manager in the company and had a successful career, but she has remained single.
This business trip allowed the two to meet again. Wang, who is always an important customer of the company, asked Sister Li to take charge of the project. Sister Li was unhappy with this, and she saw it as an insult and a provocation to her. But for the sake of the team's year-end performance and bonuses, she could only reluctantly accept this task.
Upon arrival in Shanghai, we checked into a 5-star hotel. Mr. Wang arranged the meeting for the next day and gave us a day to rest. I thought I could take the opportunity to visit Shanghai, but Sister Li's attitude struck me as unusual.
She declined my invitation, saying that she would prepare well for tomorrow's meeting and not want to be distracted. I advised her not to be too nervous, just work, and not to worry too much about the past.
I returned to the hotel in the evening and knocked on Sister Li's door, but was stunned by her dress. The usual capable image is lit up by a red dress, and the exposed shoulders and slender legs make her feel like a goddess. I sighed at her beauty, and she smiled and said, let Mr. Wang see and understand, I am not an object that he can despise.
We head to the conference room. Sister Li's dress really attracted Mr. Wang's attention, and there was a hint of surprise and regret in his eyes.
Sister Li always maintained a confident smile, showing her professionalism. The meeting was in full swing, but in the process of communication, Mr. Wang revealed his apology and respect for Sister Li, and there seemed to be some changes.
Just when I thought that Wang would get down to business and start discussing the technical and commercial details of the project, his questions became more and more intimate, until they touched on their emotional entanglements. This can't help but make me sigh, shopping malls are like battlefields, but this battle situation involves emotional powerlessness.
In the face of Sister Li's resolute refusal, Mr. Wang seemed unwilling. Not only did he continue to pester, but he also made a series of embarrassing remarks. At this time, the conference room is no longer a place for business discussions, but more like an intricate emotional entanglement, which makes people feel extremely embarrassed.
Throughout the process, I, as a bystander, couldn't help but be impressed by Sister Li's tenacity and calmness. She responded decisively to Mr. Wang's words and deeds, clearly expressed her position, and maintained a certain stability in the whole situation.
At the same time, Mr. Wang's performance is also a little puzzling, whether it is true feelings or commercial means, all of which are elusive.
In the end, Mr. Wang made an invitation to dinner, and suddenly, the business meeting turned into an emotional invitation again. Sister Li was obviously a little angry about this, and she bluntly asked Mr. Wang's true intentions. Such a business occasion turned into an intricate emotional drama.
When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I sent a message to Sister Li to ask if she was okay, and I found that she replied to my message with a crying expression, and my heart ached.
After an hour of waiting, Sister Li finally opened the door, her eyes revealing deep exhaustion. She insisted she was just tired, but those red and swollen eyes told me she was hiding more sadness. I comforted her and told her that Mr. Wang was not worth it, but her response made me realize that there may be more untold stories behind this relationship.
Sister Li finally broke the silence and pulled me into her room, where she sat on the bed and I sat on the sofa and began to listen to her. It turned out that her fate with Mr. Wang met as early as her freshman year, and both of them were top students and the focus of the campus, however, Sister Li's first impression of Mr. Wang was not good.
She thinks that Mr. Wang is selfish, arrogant, and cunning, and is not the person she idealizes. Although she was attracted to his talent, every time she saw his behavior, she firmly refused.
However, Sister Li admitted frankly that she didn't always hate Mr. Wang, she just didn't like his character. She also had a crush on him, but seeing his behavior always made her feel that he was not worthy of her love.
They nominally became boyfriend and girlfriend in their senior year, but when they were about to graduate, Mr. Wang proposed to break up. He wants to pursue his dreams and believes that the future of the two is different. Sister Li was shocked, sad, and angry at the time, but she chose to say goodbye calmly and without any nostalgia.
Sister Li disappeared into Mr. Wang's life after breaking up, no longer contacted, and no longer paid attention. She did this to protect herself from letting her feelings become a weakness that hurt her.
This kind of strength is admirable, but her mood at the moment reveals indescribable sadness. Her story teaches us that love is not all smooth sailing, and there may be many hidden efforts and sacrifices behind it.
In the middle of the night, Sister Li came to my room and chatted with me all the time, and then Sister Li said that in fact, she has always had a good impression of me, so I was blinded, is this a confession, Sister Li said that she was older than me, so she has not been embarrassed to confess to me.
I actually like Sister Li very much, after all, who can refuse such an attractive woman, and then we got together, and I am very grateful for the business trip, which made me and Sister Li face up to our feelings.
