MTL - Not Spare the Years-Chapter 86

Zhuang Yurou refused to forgive her: "Hey, Sister Mu, the contract says to rule out 'force majeure factors'. What your boss Zhou has done is not considered force majeure. Do you have to pay me according to the contract?"

Mu Xueyi got up from the bed, walked to the balcony, and opened the sliding window.

The maple branches outside the window are luxuriant, and the breeze blows, blowing the leaves.

"...I will pay."

Mu Xueyi put her arms on the windowsill, looked at the scenery in the yard, and pursed her lips.

"I will bear the loss of this batch, and I will also call you the cost of the next batch."

Zhuang Yurou: "Okay, I won't be polite to you. If you say compensation, I will accept it all."

Mu Xueyi: "I've caused you trouble, I'll give you some benefits next time I cooperate with you."

Zhuang Yurou giggled a few times, "I'm really curious, didn't you have a good relationship with President Zhou before, how did you provoke her, and she deliberately messed up your business? Tsk... The key is that you don't get angry. , if you say you pay, you will pay, and you have no temper at all, it's really a ghost."

Mu Xueyi looked down at his right hand, just woke up, not wearing gloves.

The scar at the base of the finger was as fierce as a raging fire.

"...I owe her."

He took a shallow breath, tightened his fingers, and looked out the window.

Mu Xueyi's voice suddenly softened a lot: "She wants to see me suffer retribution, so I will suffer a little more."

Zhuang Yurou: "This person, if you really want to stumble you, it won't happen just once. Be careful yourself, this time it's fortunate that the partner is me, so I won't necessarily try to trick you next time."

Mu Xueyi smiled lightly: "Okay, I see."

Although Zhuang Yurou reminded her, Mu Xueyi felt ashamed. Even if Zhou Zhenyue really wanted to do something, she would not try to resist.

It's just that she didn't expect that the next time would come so soon.

After arriving at the company in the afternoon, Mu Xueyi had just sat down in the office and was about to ask the secretary to pour a cup of coffee when she saw Ge Weinong hurried in.

"There is something wrong with the new product released this afternoon," Ge Wei sweated profusely, and put the folder in her hand in front of Mu Xueyi, "We released the price at two o'clock, and Zhou's came out at two thirty. The same competitive product, priced 30% lower than ours, has compressed the price range to the level of loss-making costs.”

She took a breath, "Mr. Mu, this is the first thing you take over, if you are suppressed like this..."

Before Ge Weilong finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open again with a "bang".

Mu Guocheng walked in angrily, put his tablet on Mu Xueyi's desk, pointed at the screen and roared, "Look for yourself and see what the public opinion is like now? This new product company After preparing for half a year, I entrusted this matter to you because I wanted to give you the opportunity to establish prestige in the company, but such a major decision-making mistake has occurred?! Don't you go to the bottom of your competitors before publishing? !"

Mu Xueyi stood up immediately, quickly sorted out his expression, and clenched his fingers.

"Sorry, I…"

Mu Guocheng: "What's the use of your apology with me? Think carefully about how to explain to the board of directors!"

Mu Xueyi lowered his head: "Yes, I will give an explanation to the board of directors."

"...The explanation is just to give an explanation, it can't solve this matter at all," Mu Guocheng hurriedly walked to the windowsill, and then walked back impatiently, "You, suspended for a week, as punishment. This week, you should reflect on yourself. , the first thing to be done like this, how to gain a foothold in this company in the future, you have to know in your heart!"

Mu Xueyi lowered her eyes, "Yes."

Ge Weilong listened to their conversation, and couldn't help sighing in his heart:

There was actually nothing wrong with Mu Xueyi's decision. No one could have expected that Zhou Zhenyue would reduce the price of competing products to a loss. It's just that when something like this happened, the company needed someone to take the blame, so Mu Xueyi had to be pushed up by Mu Guocheng as a sandbag.

Mu Guocheng left with resentment, and sighed heavily as he left.

Seeing Mu Guocheng walking away, Ge Weinong closed the door.

She turned around with a complicated expression on her face: "Mr. Zhou, is this on purpose? Do you want to deal with you at all costs?"

Mu Xueyi sat back in the chair, relieved all of his strength, and closed his eyes tiredly and pressed his temples.

"…maybe."

Ge Weilong asked again: "Don't you have another backup plan that can be used to solve this accident, why didn't you tell President Mu just now?"

Mu Xueyi opened his eyes and was silent for a while.

"That backup plan..."

She paused.

"...to destroy it."

Ge Weinong frowned in disbelief: "Why? You put so much effort into making this backup plan in order to make this new product release foolproof, so just destroy it? What about you on the board of directors? Suspended and punished. It's very serious!"

Mu Xueyi leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the buildings outside the window lightly.

"This is the result she wants to see."

Mu Xueyi said softly.

"...then let her go."

evening.

The sky was getting dark, it was past get off work hours, and the company was almost empty.

In the empty office, there is no overhead light, only a small warm-colored desk lamp is turned on.

The corners of the desk illuminated by the lights were littered with messy folders, not at all like what their strict and tidy owners would look like.

Zhou Zhenyue sat in the dark.

The dim lamp on the table only swept to her chin. Her eyes were hidden out of sight, unpredictable.

The door opened, and there was a sound of approaching footsteps.

After Xiao Ai approached, she hesitated for a while, and murmured:

"Mr. Zhou... Miss Mu... No, it's Mr. Mu... She has been suspended."

A laughter came from the darkness.

Xiao Ai hurriedly lowered her head and swallowed her saliva unconsciously.

Zhou Zhenyue put down the right leg that was pressed on the left leg, leaned forward slightly, and her face entered the area covered by the light.

She was indeed smiling, but there was almost no smile in her eyes.

"Xiao Ai," Zhou Zhenyue asked softly, "Do you think I did something wrong?"

Xiao Ai: "You have your own reasons for doing things, and I dare not speak up."

She seemed to have guessed that Xiao Ai would answer some nonsense in such a smooth manner, but Zhou Zhenyue didn't care, she closed her eyes, and said to herself very softly: "Li Lulu is right... It's not that she can't leave me, it's me. ...can't do without her."

"I really hate..."

Zhou Zhenyue gritted her teeth faintly.

"She left me twice, and I didn't hate it as much as I do now. Why...why is it better to get over after she leaves me?"

"I'm not by her side, how can she live well?"

Xiao Ai asked with a trembling voice: "You...don't you...just punish her symbolically?"

"Punishment?" Zhou Zhenyue sneered, "Of course it's not punishment, what's the use of punishment."

"I'm going to destroy her with my own hands."

Zhou Zhenyue grabbed a corner of the table and murmured in a deep voice.

"I'm going to drive her to the point of nowhere."

"Then…"

"Just get back to my side."

Zhou Zhenyue has always been a gentle and tolerant person, especially for Mu Xueyi, her gentleness and tolerance have always been brought to the extreme.

She thought that her tenderness could run through her life.

But I didn't expect that one day, someone like her would have such dark and extreme thoughts.

In fact, after hearing that Mu Xueyi came back, although she said, "As she wishes, there will be no intersection", but in her heart, she has been looking forward to Mu Xueyi to come and find her again.

She even thought about it.

After Mu Xueyi was found, she wanted to tell her how painful it was to be abandoned twice, ask her why she was so cruel, and then said viciously: We will never have any possibility in the future.

After that, Mu Xueyi would cry, waiting pitifully at the door of the old house, calling her "Ayue" weakly, chasing after her, but not daring to go forward to catch her horn.

When Mu Xueyi had almost dried up her tears, she would turn around and take her into her arms.

Say in her ear: Forget it, I don't blame you. In fact, I have always been unbearable.

But…

But after Mu Xueyi came back, not only did he not find her, but his life got better and better.

become stronger.

will do business.

The cooperation with Xunyun that Zhou's could not win was robbed by her.

Zhou Zhenyue, to Mu Xueyi, seems really...

Completely unimportant.

Zhou Zhenyue felt that she suddenly returned to the time before she knew Mu Xueyi.

Before she knew Mu Xueyi, she was in charge of a big company by herself, sitting at the top of everyone's envied position. Everything, money, power, status. It seems that there is no longer any joy in life.

Wilde said:

It's a tragedy to get everything you want.

Zhou Zhenyue deeply believed in it.

She feels that a life with everything is indeed worthy of the word "tragedy".

To live is to live with hope.

But she had no hope.

However, after meeting Mu Xueyi, everything changed.

Many years ago, when Mu Xueyi began to pursue her, she sent someone to check the person's identity and background.

She found that the girl who appeared to be the second young lady of a wealthy family was actually in dire straits.

Weak, bullied, ignored.

It seems that in this huge world, there is no one who is willing to treat her kindly.

That day, Mu Xueyi waited at the door of Zhou's company in order to give her a lunch.

She looked down upstairs and saw Mu Xueyi put the bento box aside, squatting by the flower bed to tease the stray dogs.

At a certain moment, she suddenly felt that this girl was the same as that puppy.

All in this cruel world, helpless ups and downs, wandering.

At that time, she thought:

Can I give her a home?

Can I... be that light in her dark world?

Later, when she really fell in love with Mu Xueyi, she became more and more unable to extricate herself, and she fell deeper and deeper.

In this world, there is someone like Xueyi who needs her.

I need her to hug, I need her to coax, I need her to get to the bottom of it.

Her life, from then on, has meaning.

She was... needed.

Everyone thought that she was paying regardless of gains and losses, that she was redeeming Mu Xueyi full of divinity.

But only she herself understood that while she was saving Xueyi, she was also saving herself.

The life that Xueyi needs is the life that is endowed with meaning.

Therefore, she can endure Mu Xueyi's ignorance, running around, confusion, and cowardice, but she is the only one who can't bear it, and Mu Xueyi no longer needs her.

She can forgive an imperfect Mu Xueyi countless times.

Just can't make a perfect Mu Xueyi...

Independent of her Zhou Zhenyue's world.

cannot.

The corners of Zhou Zhenyue's lips twitched slightly, and she slowly lowered her head.

Open the drawer on the right side of the desk.

There was something wrapped in a white cloth in the drawer.

The Zhou family pays attention to a "good relationship between gold and jade", the Zhou family wears jade, and the spouse wears gold.

This gold bracelet, she had already made it. It's just a pity that there was no chance to give it to Mu Xueyi seven years ago, and there was no chance to give it to Mu Xueyi a year ago.

So yesterday, she asked someone to melt the gold bracelet, add some gold, and beat it again.

The long fingers touched the white cloth and gently pulled it away.

Zhou Zhenyue smiled, her eyes tenderly looking at the heavy one in the drawer that was reflecting the soft spot of the lamp—

Solid gold handcuffs.

I remember what my teacher said in college, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory contains: the need to be needed by others.
