Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"General Manager Xu, I want to talk to you about something……"

Du Xiaojuan made a phone call to that very important partner of hers.

"Miss Du, may I ask what it is?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's like this, I have something to take care of on the 21st, can you see if we can move our meeting forward or push it back a bit?"

Du Xiaojuan proposed to discuss it with funeral politeness.

General Manager Xu on the other end of the phone, however, immediately became unhappy:

"Du Xiaojuan, what do you mean by this? Initially it was you yourself who proposed meeting on the 21st to discuss business, now that I've arranged all affairs, you instead propose to change the date, do you think I'm very free? Or do you think this matter is as unimportant as child's play to you?"

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly apologized:

"General Manager Xu, that's not what I meant, you misunderstood me, it's all my fault, I have a scheduling conflict, I made a mistake."

"You made the mistake, you pay for it yourself, don't make me pay for it, don't forget, this cooperation, it was you who came to seek me, not me seeking you, if some other matter conflicts with this matter, you should let the other matter change the date, not call me and say such things."

General Manager Xu's attitude was condescending, very unreasonable.

But this is also normal, after all his work schedule was long ago filled up, if at this time Du Xiaojuan changes the plan, then for him, it would pull one hair and move the whole body, disrupt the entire plan.

Bosses like him in the middle layer of society, unlike those bosses who rose to power relying on authority or relying on the previous generation's accumulated wealth, every bit of wealth they hold in their hands was earned through struggle with their own two hands.

Such people usually are the most unreasonable, because they know the cruelty of social competition, understand society's rules and the environment's situation.

"General Manager Xu, truly sorry, I was indeed confused……"

Du Xiaojuan's face was full of apology.

"Du Xiaojuan, this isn't like your previous working style, how could you possibly make such a low-level mistake? You tell me honestly, have you fallen in love?"

General Manager Xu suddenly asked this one sentence.

Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but be stunned:

"General Manager Xu, how did you know?"

General Manager Xu coldly smiled:

"I just knew, you must have fallen in love, falling in love makes a person's IQ drop, you better not tell me it's because you want to go on a date with your new boyfriend that you want to push aside the business between us."

Du Xiaojuan smiled bitterly, for a moment not saying anything.

General Manager Xu then said:

"I still have matters to be busy with, so I won't say more, you consider it clearly yourself then come talk to me."

After saying these words, General Manager Xu hung up the phone.

Du Xiaojuan looked at her mobile phone, couldn't help but sigh once.

Now she felt she was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, caught in a dilemma.

On one hand was General Manager Xu's tough attitude, not giving her a single shred of room to negotiate.

On the other hand was her boyfriend had already bought the bus tickets, planned everything for going home for her.

And this was still her first time going back to her hometown with her boyfriend.

If at this time she went to make him delay the time, would it make him feel insufficient sincerity, make him think she was perfunctory?

After experiencing two relationships' setbacks, Du Xiaojuan had matured a lot in dealing with feelings, but unknowingly she had also lost herself, she was very afraid of losing again, so when encountering things she all considered the other party's feelings, this made her look very virtuous, very considerate, able to give her boyfriend a very good experience.

But all things have two sides, where there are advantages there will be disadvantages.

She everywhere took care of her boyfriend's feelings, that in turn would make her everywhere yield and compromise, would make her become lowly and cheap.

And a universal phenomenon of human nature is, no one will cherish love that comes easily.

For example, just after she and Wang Dashan confirmed their relationship, she took the initiative to keep Wang Dashan at her apartment overnight, that displayed her unreserved true love for Wang Dashan, but in Wang Dashan's eyes, it instead became evidence of her being casual and not self-respecting.

Du Xiaojuan thought for a long time, finally still decided to call and discuss with Wang Dashan.

Because this partner General Manager Xu was truly too important for her career development.

If she could stably cooperate with General Manager Xu going forward, then her earnings next year would absolutely be able to more than double.

"Dashan, I have something to tell you……"

Du Xiaojuan with a heart full of trepidation, dialed Wang Dashan's phone.

She had already made psychological preparation for Wang Dashan to be unhappy.

But as long as he agreed, then even if he was unhappy, later she could coax him better.

"What matter?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"You better not say you don't want to go back to my home, I've already told my dad and mom about this matter."

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly said:

"No, I don't have that meaning, it's just that on the 21st I have to meet a very important partner, how about this, you and your younger brother go back first, after I finish meeting the partner, I'll go to your home a bit later, you just tell me the address……"

Wang Dashan heard her these words, and sure enough was very unhappy:

"What kind of matter is this? I long ago told you, on Lunar New Year's Eve go home together, you said your car had to be used by your eldest brother, not driving back, I had no opinion, we'll take the long-distance bus back, a bit troublesome is a bit troublesome, result now I've just managed to buy our bus tickets home, you instead tell me you're going to be late going back on Lunar New Year's Eve, if you truly don't want to go back with me, just say it directly, why use this kind of excuse to perfunctorily deal with me!"

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly explained:

"I don't have the meaning of perfunctorily dealing with you, it's my fault, I always thought the Lunar New Year's Eve you spoke of was the 22nd, New Year's Eve that day, this year the 28th of the twelfth lunar month arrives at New Year's Eve, then isn't New Year's Eve the 29th of the twelfth lunar month? So I long ago set the 21st for a face-to-face meeting with the partner, I admit my side made a mistake, but now the partner's attitude is extremely tough, unwilling to change the date, that partner is very important to me and my company, Dashan, can you be understanding of me? I'm just not going back together with you in the morning, not not going back, I guarantee, once the meeting is over, I'll immediately take a vehicle to your hometown!"

Du Xiaojuan these words spoken, logic clear, sincerity full.

Wang Dashan, however, laughed dryly:

"Spring Festival tickets home are tight; by then you probably won't even be able to buy a ticket back to my hometown."

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"If I can't buy a ticket, I'll take a taxi back — that works, right?"

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"How much would that cost? Probably several hundred yuan!"

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"It's fine, I can afford several hundred; I just hope you can understand me a little, okay? Later I'll personally go pick out gifts for your parents, I guarantee they'll be satisfied with me!"

Wang Dashan felt very unwilling in his heart, but since Du Xiaojuan had said it to this extent, he couldn't say anything more.

If he still insisted on demanding Du Xiaojuan do things according to his arrangements, that would be too lacking in human feeling.

And he didn't want to argue with Du Xiaojuan; if things turned unpleasant now and Du Xiaojuan directly broke up with him, he'd lose more than he gained.

"Alright alright, you're the big boss, you're a busy person, I can't be unreasonable; then at that time my younger brother and I will go back first, you come to my house alone after your meeting, I'll send you the detailed address."
