Chapter 692 Firm Determination
During this period, Jiang Ciyou's heart was like a turbulent sea, never calm for a moment. On the one hand, her husband's malicious revenge made her life fall into a quagmire, the company was facing an unprecedented crisis, and the rumors from the outside world pierced her heart like a sting; on the other hand, everything Lu Jingchen did for her was like the warm sun in winter, dispelling the haze bit by bit and making the softest part of her heart warm.
Recalling the moments she had spent with Lu Jingchen, Jiang Ciyou's mood became more and more complicated. When they first met, she just wanted to borrow someone to forget the pain of being betrayed on her wedding night, but she didn't expect that this seemingly cynical man would walk into her life so quietly and take root in her heart. They walked together on the beach, the waves caressed the beach, and Lu Jingchen would suddenly pick up a beautiful shell and put it in her palm, his eyes full of tenderness, and smiled and said: "This shell is like you, hard on the outside, but the softest beauty is hidden inside." At that moment, Jiang Ciyou's heartstrings were gently plucked. There was also that time when she was sick, she lay weakly in bed, and Lu Jingchen stayed by the bed. The worry in his eyes did not seem fake. The porridge he cooked by hand, although his craftsmanship was not superb, made Jiang Ciyou feel the taste of being cherished for the first time after being abandoned by her husband.
These memories kept playing in her mind like slides, and Jiang Ciyou finally realized that Lu Jingchen was no longer that simple "gigolo" character. He loved her sincerely, protected her from the wind and rain, and accompanied her through the ups and downs of life.
Jiang Ciyou knew that she couldn't waver like this any longer and couldn't let down Lu Jingchen's deep affection. She decided to put aside all her worries and concerns and bravely face this relationship. So, she carefully chose an evening when the sky was dyed red by the sunset, as if foreshadowing the warm opening of a new life. Jiang Ciyou put on a light blue dress that Lu Jingchen had praised. The color was like the sea they had seen together, quiet and deep, as if carrying every bit of their past.
She came to Lu Jingchen's residence, and when she raised her hand to knock on the door, her fingers trembled slightly. The moment the door opened, Lu Jingchen's eyes flashed with surprise, but then it was replaced by worry. He asked softly: "Ciyou, why are you here? Are you in trouble again?" Jiang Ciyou looked at him, her eyes slightly red, and shook her head gently, saying: "Jingchen, I'm not in trouble. I came to see you. I have something in my heart that I want to tell you."
Lu Jingchen stepped aside to let her in. The soft light in the room cast a warm veil over the two of them. Jiang Ciyou took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak: "Jingchen, too many things have happened during this period. My husband's revenge almost put me in a desperate situation. But when I was most helpless, you stood up without hesitation and helped me solve one problem after another. I used to be confused and perplexed, and even doubted my choice, but now I understand that the time I spent with you is what I cherish most."
At this point, Jiang Ciyou's voice choked slightly. She paused for a moment and continued, "I know that the road ahead is still long, and we may encounter all kinds of difficulties, but I am not afraid anymore. Because I know that as long as you are by my side, I have the courage to face everything. I don't want to escape anymore, and I don't want to miss you again."
Lu Jingchen listened quietly, the light in his eyes getting brighter and brighter, it was a light interwoven with joy, emotion and affection. When Jiang Ciyou finished the last word, he took a step forward and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to use this hug to integrate her into his own bones and blood. His chin lightly rested on the top of Jiang Ciyou's head, and he said in a slightly hoarse but extremely firm voice: "Ciyou, do you know how long I have been waiting for this sentence? From the first time I saw you, I knew that you were the one I would never let go of in this life. In the past days, seeing you being wronged, I wished I could bear all the pain for you. Now, you are willing to bravely go on with me, I am really very happy."
The two of them hugged each other like this, as if time had stopped for them. After a long time, Jiang Ciyou raised her head, tears still flashing in her eyes, but with a firm smile she had never had before, she said: "Jingchen, let's plan our future together, I don't want to be bound by the past anymore, I want to create our own happiness with you."
Lu Jingchen gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, took her hand and walked to the sofa, and they sat down side by side. He picked up the paper and pen on the table, as if to outline their future stroke by stroke. "First of all, regarding your company, I think we can further expand the business area, use some of my connections and resources, introduce some new projects, and take the company to a higher level. I will also learn business knowledge with you, and we will fight side by side and leave those competitors behind." As Lu Jingchen spoke, he wrote down a few key words on the paper, his eyes focused and serious.
Jiang Ciyou looked at him, her heart full of emotion and trust. She nodded and said, "Well, I have the same idea. During this period of time, I have also learned a lot from the difficulties. I believe that as long as we work together, the company will be able to get out of the difficulties and usher in new development opportunities. Also, I think when the company is more stable, we can take time to travel to places we have always wanted to go but have never had the chance to go, such as the Maldives, to see the dreamy blue ocean and experience different customs and practices."
Lu Jingchen's eyes were full of longing, and he smiled and responded: "Okay, Maldives has always been my dream place. We can live in a small house by the sea, watch the sunrise and sunset every day, stroll on the beach, and put all the troubles behind us. Moreover, we should not only enjoy life, but also do something for the society. I have always wanted to participate in some charity projects to help children in poor areas. What do you think?"
Jiang Ciyou's eyes lit up. She held Lu Jingchen's hand tightly and said, "This is a great idea! I have always wanted to give back to society and help those in need. We can donate to build schools and provide better educational resources for children, giving them the opportunity to change their own destiny."
The two of them chatted with each other, as if they had seen a beautiful future unfolding before them. They discussed how to prepare for charity projects, how to select suitable partners, and how to make every bit of love come true. Before they knew it, the night had deepened, and the stars outside the window seemed to be silently blessing their beautiful vision.
Jiang Ciyou stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night sky, and felt deeply: "Jingchen, I once thought that my life was dark, and the pain of being betrayed almost swallowed me. But after meeting you, everything is different. You are the light in my life, illuminating my way forward."
Lu Jingchen walked behind her, hugged her gently, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said softly: "Ciyou, you are also my salvation. Before I met you, although I looked glorious on the surface, I always felt empty inside. It is you who made me understand what true love is and what responsibility is. No matter how rough the road ahead is, we must go on together, okay?"
Jiang Ciyou turned around, put her arms around Lu Jingchen's neck, raised her head slightly, looked into his eyes, and nodded firmly: "Okay, let's do it together." At this moment, their eyes met, and love flowed in the air, as if they were the only ones left in the world.
In this warm atmosphere, Jiang Ciyou's phone suddenly rang, breaking the moment of tranquility. She picked up the phone and saw that it was the company's assistant calling. Her heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to her mind. She answered the phone, and heard the assistant anxiously say, "Boss Jiang, it's bad. An important partner we just negotiated with suddenly changed his mind and said he wanted to terminate the cooperation. This is a huge blow to our company!"
Jiang Ciyou's face turned pale instantly. She never thought that the company, which had just seen a glimmer of hope, would fall into a new crisis. Seeing her expression, Lu Jingchen understood what was going on. He gently held Jiang Ciyou's hand, giving her strength, and then said to the phone, "Don't worry, stabilize the other party first, and we will go over to deal with it right away."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen, a flash of panic in her eyes, but soon replaced by determination, she said: "Jingchen, it seems that we have another tough battle to fight." Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly, his eyes revealing fearlessness and determination: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. We just said that we will face all difficulties together, and now is the time to test. Let's go, let's go to the company."
The two quickly calmed down, walked out of the house hand in hand, and ran towards the company. Along the way, Jiang Ciyou felt mixed emotions, worried about the future of the company, and grateful for Lu Jingchen's company. She knew that the road ahead would not be smooth, but as long as they worked together, nothing could stop them from pursuing happiness.
Arriving at the company, the atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. The assistants and several department heads sat together, looking anxious. Seeing Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen come in, everyone stood up. Jiang Ciyou walked straight to the conference table, sat down, and said firmly: "Don't panic, tell me the situation in detail."
The assistant quickly handed over a document and said, "Mr. Jiang, this partner had basically reached an agreement with us, and the contract had been drafted, all that was left was to be signed. But this afternoon, they suddenly called and said that they had other partners with more advantages and decided to give up cooperation with us. I inquired around the side and it seemed that someone was putting pressure on them behind the scenes, and..." The assistant hesitated and looked at Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen.
Lu Jingchen frowned and asked, "And what? Don't hesitate. The situation is urgent now. Any details may be crucial." The assistant gritted his teeth and said, "And I heard that someone who is close to your husband is interfering. They seem to want to completely destroy our company."
Hearing this, there was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Ciyou. Jiang Ciyou clenched her fists, her nails almost embedded in her palms, and the anger in her heart burned like a raging fire. She never thought that her husband would be so unscrupulous and determined to kill her. But at this moment, she couldn't panic. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "I know, don't panic. Since the other party hasn't formally refused, there is still a chance. What we have to do now is to re-evaluate our advantages, find out what the other party values most, and try to persuade them to change their minds."
Lu Jingchen took over the conversation: "Ciyou is right. I will immediately use all my connections to see if I can find a breakthrough for the other party. In addition, we must also prepare emergency plans. If this cooperation really cannot be negotiated, we must have other feasible projects to take over and not let the company be paralyzed."
Everyone nodded and started to do their own job. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen sat in the conference room, carefully studying the cooperation plan and analyzing every possible problem. Unknowingly, several hours had passed and the sky outside the window was already turning pale.
After a night of hard work, they finally worked out a new negotiation plan that not only highlighted the company's core competitiveness, but also prepared detailed countermeasures for the questions that the other party might raise. Jiang Ciyou rubbed his sore eyes and looked at Lu Jingchen, his eyes full of fatigue but hope: "Jingchen, thank you, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
Lu Jingchen gently massaged her temples and said softly, "Silly words, we are one, your business is my business. Now we are almost ready, go back and rest, get enough energy, and negotiate with the other party in the afternoon. I believe we will succeed."
Jiang Ciyou nodded, and the two walked out of the company hand in hand. It was early morning, and the air was fresh and a little cool, but it made their tired bodies and minds feel extremely refreshed. They knew that new challenges were coming, but they were not afraid, because they had love in their hearts and a firm belief in the future, which would support them to move forward and overcome all difficulties.
After returning home, Jiang Ciyou simply washed up, fell on the bed, and fell asleep soon. Lu Jingchen looked at her tired sleeping face and felt distressed. He gently covered her with a quilt, kissed her forehead, and then sat by the bed, watching over her quietly. He knew that there might be many more such difficulties in the future, but as long as they loved each other and supported each other, they would be able to create a happy life for them. No matter how fierce the wind and rain, they would stay close to each other and never separate.
