Tan Yizhe got out of bed on time, put on his suit and tie, turned on the toaster and coffee machine before washing up, and then poured himself a cup of warm Blue Mountain coffee. There was also bread with blueberry jam, and then washed the fruits and cut them into fruit salad on the cutting board.

Except for his mother, who was always urging him to get married, everything else seemed to have gone smoothly. Now that his career had been successful, he could consider what his mother had said.

The official documents from yesterday had been approved and Tan Yizhe had officially become the director of the sales department of Y Company. After coming to Beijing, all the unpleasantness had finally paid off. Tan Yizhe was overjoyed and ate an extra piece of bread and dipped some more jam.

He didn't actually like the taste of blueberries, but because someone liked eating blueberries, he had gotten used to it after eating for so many years.

He drove to the office of the General Manager.

"Yizhe, congratulations, you sat in this position with your own ability." The general manager said with a polite smile.

"No, no, thank you for your help." Tan Yizhe slightly bowed to show his humility.

The general manager acknowledged, then he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tan Yizhe, "I have a task here. If it's done well, it will be a great addition to your director position. It will also help you in your future promotion."

Tan Yizhe was pleasantly surprised. Was he hinting that he would become a general manager in the future?

On the surface, he still maintained a calm expression and said, "Thank you, General Manager. What task is it?"

"An [A] class advertising company in Shanghai wants to cooperate with us. They want to send people to sign the contract with us. As for our side, we are amongst the directors. I'll take you there."

"I will do my best to live up to your expectations." Tan Yizhe said more humbly.

"Take a look at the documents for the detailed information." Saying that, the general manager gave Tan Yizhe a thick document. Tan Yizhe took it and said, "Go." Tan Yizhe returned to his office with the documents.

At the same time, an advertising company in Shanghai had already sent someone on a business trip. It was a 12: 05 flight.

At the airport, the woman was wearing a flowery dress with a belt that outlined her perfect waist. The waist-length wave flowed straight down like a waterfall, her blue stilettos and heels were inconspicuous yet flawless. Her jade-like feet were as white as snow, small and exquisite.

Beside him was a man wearing a white t-shirt and long brown training pants, revealing his tall and slender figure. He held onto the handle of his suitcase and said, "Shengmei, when are you coming back, I'll come get you." Her deep voice revealed the charm of a mature man. Gu Qingyan is already 27 years old this year.

"No need, I know how to take a taxi. Go ahead and do what you need to do." An Shengmei smiled, revealing a faint pear-shaped vortex at the corner of her mouth.

"It's fine, I can get off work early tomorrow. I'll come pick you up." Gu Qingyan looked like he didn't know what to say. He kept looking at the woman who was half a head lower than him. His eyes were as deep and as open and as deep as they were 10 years ago when they first met.

"Alright, alright, just come and pick me up. Why are you looking at me like that?" An Shengmei rolled her eyes at Gu Qingyan, but she didn't feel anything from his gaze. He had been like this all these years.

Gu Qingyan still wanted to say something, but the plane that was being announced to An Shengmei started to board. An Shengmei took the lever from Gu Qingyan and said, "I'm leaving, I'll be back by noon tomorrow."

Gu Qingyan's words stuck in his throat. He wanted to say something but hesitated. After a moment of hesitation, he sighed and said "Bye" to An Shengmei.

After getting off the plane, An Shengmei took a taxi to a hotel and then called the person in charge of Y Company. She arranged to meet him at 4 PM at the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel.

An Shengmei changed into a formal white shirt and OL dress dress dress. She picked up the documents and ordered a cup of coffee from the coffee shop on the first floor. While she read the documents, she waited.

A few minutes later, the chair opposite her was pulled apart. "Excuse me, is this An Shengmei?"

An Shengmei was just about to say 'yes' when she looked up and saw the man opposite her. He was dressed in a suit, with amber eyes that were brimming with vigor, and a wheat colored skin that was brimming with a healthy color. He had a professional smile on his face, but it did not reach his eyes.

An Shengmei composed herself and revealed a professional smile. "I am."

The man opposite her stretched out his hand. "It's our first meeting. Hello, Miss An."

"Hello." An Shengmei stretched out her hand.

Her fair skin, slender fingers, and no ring made Tan Yizhe slightly dazzled. He had seen a lot of beauties in Beijing, and they were much more beautiful than An Shengmei's hands. However, Tan Yizhe felt that these were the most beautiful hands he had ever seen.

"A cup of coffee, please." Tan Yizhe turned his head to speak to the waiter, then changed his mind. Counting the time, the two of them probably hadn't met for seven years.

Seven years of itchiness. If they hadn't been separated at the beginning, then what would have been the end of it now?

Tan Yizhe remembered the first time he and An Shengmei held hands, it was in their first year in senior high. He had forgotten exactly what day it was. He only remembered that it was a night, and the grass in the playground showed signs of life after pruning. Some dew had stained the grass and shone brightly under the school lights.

Some of them were running on the track, some of them were walking, some of them were walking, some of them were wearing suits, while some of them were standing on the platform with their stomachs puffed up.

And it was precisely in this environment that Tan Yizhe held An Shengmei's hand and walked around the harsh light. Under the blind spot of his vision, he laid down everywhere, ignoring the crystal dew, both of his hands supporting his head as he looked at the starry sky.

An Shengmei's hand was a little thin and cold. One of her hands could wrap around her hand completely. Tan Yizhe raised the girl's hand under the dim light, and it turned from a handshake to a interlacing of ten fingers.

The stars were as bright as the eyes of a lover. Tan Yizhe looked at An Shengmei's side profile and told her about his hidden dreams and expectations for the future. The young girl would chuckle from time to time.

Tan Yizhe took a big gulp of the coffee. The bitter taste was accompanied by a slight scalding feeling. Tan Yizhe coughed a few times. On the other side, An Shengmei was about to ask, "Are you okay?" However, Tan Yizhe held one hand in front of his mouth and coughed, while the other hand reached towards An Shengmei to indicate that he didn't need to, but his eyes were fixed on An Shengmei's hand.

"Miss An, regarding your company's proposal, our company says that we have done very well, but in terms of cooperation, we have some issues to discuss." After Tan Yizhe recovered, he continued to reveal a professional smile as if nothing had happened.
