Life 1984

Li Yunhai and Ji Wenshu walked into her office.

Ji Wenshu poured a cup of tea for Li Yunhai, rubbed her neck with her hand, and asked, "Mr. Li, what's the matter? I'm very busy over there."

Li Yunhai took the cup and asked, "Are you tired?"

Ji Wenshu said: "It's okay! Not too tired."

Li Yunhai put down the cup and said, "I have something to ask you. Please come with me."

"Go out?"

"Can't you?"

"But I haven't gotten off work yet. I still have important work to do over there."

“Am I more important or is the work more important?”

"Of course Mr. Li is more important."

"Well, that's all. Just listen to me and follow me."

Ji Wenshu had no choice but to follow him out.

Li Yunhai took her downstairs and got into his car.

Ji Wenshu smiled and said, "Boss Li, where are you taking me?"

"Are you afraid that I will sell you out?" Li Yunhai smiled slightly.

"I'm an old girl now, and I can't sell it for a high price."

"You know you're an old maid, too? Why haven't you found a partner yet at your age?"

"This? Mr. Li, this is my personal matter. It has nothing to do with my work. I can refuse to answer."

"Of course, you don't have to answer. However, as your boss, I still have to care about you. You have good conditions, so why can't you get married?"

"Who says I can't get married? There are many men who want to marry me."

"What's the reason that keeps you single till now?"

"Oh, I don't know. Before I knew it, it just kept getting delayed."

"We also have quite a few older young people in our company. What do you want?"

"No requirements, just like we like each other."

"There should be a lot of them. Our company has more men than women, and we have quite a few PhD students."

"Mr. Li, can we not talk about this issue? I don't have the mind to think about personal matters right now."

"Okay! Let's not talk about it for now."

The car didn't go far before it stopped.

Li Yunhai asked Ji Wenshu to get out of the car.

Ji Wenshu looked around curiously and asked, "Boss Li, where is this?"

"There is a very good beauty salon here. Come with me for a beauty treatment!"

"Ah? Mr. Li, you're a man, and you're still doing beauty treatments? I've never done that with a woman."

"Well, I often accompany Lin Zhi to spend money here. I mainly do body work. You can do one too! It's very relaxing."

Ji Wenshu was completely speechless.

The big boss brought her to the beauty salon for a beauty treatment for no reason?

How busy she is!

There is simply no end to the things to do!

But since she was already here, she couldn't just turn around and leave, so she could only follow Li Yunhai into the beauty salon.

The beauty salon is very large and decorated magnificently.

Ji Wenshu has lived in Xizhou for so many years, but she didn't even know there was such a large beauty salon here.

The waiters inside were dressed in antique costumes and warmly entertained Li Yunhai and his friends.

The waiter recognized Li Yunhai and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Li! What project are you working on today?"

Li Yunhai said: "Let me give you a massage! I'll arrange a full body program for President Ji."

The waiter looked at Ji Wenshu and said, "Okay."

There are separate rooms for men and women.

Li Yunhai and Ji Wenshu were led into different private rooms.

Before Ji Wenshu entered the room, she shouted, "Boss Li, are we just going to play here? Are we not going to talk about work?"

Li Yunhai said: "Relax first. Don't live your life in such a hurry. You should also learn to stop and appreciate the scenery along the way."

Ji Wenshu had no choice but to enter the room.

After Li Yunhai finished the massage, he asked the technician, "Let's go see how long it will take Mr. Ji."

The technician went to the next room to take a look, and came out to tell Li Yunhai: "Ms. Ji is doing a full body project, which will take another half an hour, and she fell asleep."

"Okay, I'll wait for her out front."

"How about I wash and massage your shoulders and neck again?"

"Okay, press it!"

Half an hour later, Li Yunhai walked out of the room.

The technician next door also came out and said to Li Yunhai: "Boss Li, Boss Ji is still sleeping. I saw that she was very tired and fell asleep as soon as she lay down."

Li Yunhai hummed: "It's okay, just let her sleep!"

He walked into Ji Wenshu's room and sat down on the sofa next to her.

Ji Wenshu was lying on the beauty bed, covered with a blanket, with her eyes closed, sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, she was startled and woke up.

She looked around in panic, rubbed her eyes, and then saw Li Yunhai.

"Mr. Li!" Ji Wenshu remembered that she was in a beauty salon.

She sat up and said, "Mr. Li, how long have I been sleeping?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "It won't be long. Change your clothes! I'll wait for you outside."

Ji Wenshu felt a sense of relaxation and comfort she had never felt before!
All my limbs feel comfortable as if the meridians are opened up.

Ji Wenshu changed into her own clothes, fixed her makeup in front of the mirror, and then walked out. "Mr. Li, I didn't expect beauty treatments to be so comfortable!" Ji Wenshu smiled, "I feel like I've become a fairy! My body feels so light."

"That's good!" Li Yunhai said, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat."

"Eat? Oh, okay!" Ji Wenshu was a little depressed. She didn't know what happened to Li Yunhai today?
I treat myself to a beauty treatment and a meal!
Li Yunhai took her to the private restaurant on Duzheng Street.

He liked the atmosphere here very much, it felt like eating in a restaurant in ancient times.

Li Yunhai ordered some delicious dishes and sat close to Ji Wenshu on the second floor.

Ji Wenshu curiously looked out the window and said, "Is that Tianxin Pavilion over there?"

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, it is Tianxin Park. After dinner, let's go for a walk in the park."

Ji Wenshu smiled and said, "Boss Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Yunhai said: "Let's eat first. How about some red wine?"

Ji Wenshu said: "I don't like drinking."

Li Yunhai said: "Then drink sweet wine, I'm sure you like it."

He asked the waiter to bring a pot of sweet wine and poured a bowl for both of them.

The alcohol content of sweet wine is not high, it is sweet and refreshing, just like drinking a sweet drink.

Ji Wenshu took a sip and said with a smile, "It tastes so good!"

Li Yunhai asked: "You have been in Xizhou for more than ten years, right?"

Ji Wenshu said: "Including the years I spent in school, well, it's almost twenty years! Life goes by so fast! The best years of my life were actually spent in Xizhou."

Li Yunhai said: "But you are not familiar with Xizhou. The people, things, and even the most delicious snacks here are your first time to try."

“I seldom go out shopping.”

"Why don't you go out shopping? Is it because the streets are hard to go shopping? Or you just can't find a good street to go shopping?"

"Neither, I just think it's boring to go out alone, wandering around the streets like an idiot."

"You don't have any friends? No boyfriend, not even a girlfriend? There should be quite a few of your classmates in our company, right? And there are also many junior students."

"Yeah, a lot. They asked me out too, but I was too busy."

"That's the crux of the problem. So I decided to reduce your work pressure."

Ji Wenshu was surprised and asked, "Mr. Li?"

"It's like this, Mr. Ji, let's give the lithography machine project to someone else!"

Ji Wenshu got anxious when she heard this and said, "Mr. Li, why? Am I not doing well? I have been working hard!"

Li Yunhai said: "Mr. Ji, it's not that you didn't do well, nor that you didn't work hard enough, but that you worked too hard! You worked so hard that you forgot about yourself and neglected yourself. Professor Ni has criticized me, saying that I can't just exploit you, and I should also let others have the opportunity to work like slaves for me."

Ji Wenshu couldn't laugh and said aggrievedly: "Boss Li, I don't agree! I have already completed half of the lithography project, and there will be results within the next two years!"

Li Yunhai said: "But if you continue like this, even if we develop a photolithography machine, what's the point?"

Ji Wenshu said, "It's of great significance, isn't it? Didn't you say so? We must be ahead of the world's advanced level, and we must be the first to develop an immersion lithography machine! You told me about this scientific research project, and you asked me to do it! Have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten. I have always wanted to develop an immersion lithography machine." Li Yunhai said in a deep voice, "This is the most critical moment for our Sihai Group to become the world leader in the field of lithography machines!"

"Yes, then why do you want me to quit? Do you know how many books I have studied for this lithography machine? Do you know how much relevant information I have studied? I dare say that no one in this world knows the development method of immersion lithography better than me! Although I haven't succeeded yet, if you give me another two years, I will definitely succeed! I will prove it to you!"

"Boss Ji, you don't need to prove anything."

"I need it! I need it so much! Okay? This is my job! Why don't I need to prove myself? If I don't prove my own interests, how can you let me be the dean? How can you train me to become an academician?"

Li Yunhai was stunned for a while, and said: "Being a dean, an academician, is it really that important? Is it more important than your life? Mr. Ji, listen to my advice, life is short! Nothing is more important than enjoying the present. You have given everything just to become a dean, an academician. Even if one day you get everything, will you regret it?"

"Why should I regret? If I didn't work hard enough, if I wasted my time, then I should regret it."

"Mr. Ji, there are many aspects of life besides career success. For example, sweet love, a happy marriage, and happy friendship. Even if you just go out for a walk, look at the colorful world outside, see the flowers swaying in the wind, listen to the wind whistling through the bamboo forest, and look at the ripples on the water, you will feel how beautiful this world is."

"I know all this! But who says love is always sweet? I was once foolish enough to trust a man and date him for several years, but what did I get in the end? Except betrayal and hurt! He now has a wife and a daughter, and he lives a good life! What about me?"

"You can start over!"

"Starting another journey of being hurt by men?"

"Huh? You can be more optimistic."

"Who says marriages are always happy? Did you know that my parents are divorced? They were together for decades, but they ended up getting divorced! They also said that if it weren't for me, they would have divorced a long time ago! Before they let me come into this world, did they ask me if I was willing to be their daughter? Why didn't they ask for my opinion, but gave birth to me without authorization, and then left me behind irresponsibly? How did my existence hinder them?"

Li Yunhai was silent.

For the first time, he realized that there were so many stories behind this female doctor!
Ji Wenshu became more and more excited as she spoke, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

These pains have been buried deep in her heart, with no one to tell.

Now I can finally tell it to Li Yunhai, so I can just treat it as a confession!
She covered her face with her hands and choked with pain, "And what's more! Who said friendship is happy? Do you know who my ex-boyfriend married? My best friend! They betrayed me at the same time! One betrayed my love, and the other betrayed my friendship! And my parents betrayed my family affection!"

Li Yunhai was shocked!
He had seen people who had suffered, but he had never expected that Ji Wenshu would suffer so much! So hard!

How is this going?

Li Yunhai felt that he didn't care enough about the lives of his subordinates.

Ji Wenshu is not an ordinary subordinate!

Instead, he is the future successor to the Research Institute and the most important scientific research leader of Sihai Group.

Li Yunhai didn't know how to comfort the other person for a moment.

It turns out that Ji Wenshu didn't know how to enjoy life, but that life brought her nothing but scars, devastation, pain and betrayal!
She worked so hard just to numb herself with work!
Only in the endless work did she have no time to think about the pain.

Li Yunhai sighed softly.

"Boss Ji, you've encountered so many difficulties, why don't you tell us? We are all friends, and talking to each other can also relieve the pain, right?"

Ji Wenshu held her heart and said, "Boss Li, these are all the scars in my heart! I don't even want to mention them. Do you still want me to reveal them one by one for everyone to appreciate?"

Li Yunhai said: "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I think there is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome. President Ji, you should learn to face it with strength. If you can't solve it, then give it up! Give up the past, say goodbye to the past, and start your new life!"

Ji Wenshu said: "I want to, too! But I think it's too difficult! I can't get out of the shadow, I can't get out! Every night, I work until very late, because when I get home, I feel so cold, so cold! There is no warmth at all."

Her expression was so painful, just like a wounded cat, hiding in an empty corner, licking her wounds.

Li Yunhai reached out and held her cool jade-like hand, saying, "Believe me, I can help you. Mr. Ji, life has its ups and downs. This is a test from God. Only those who pass these tests can successfully reach the other side. Everyone's tests are different, but you have a lot of them. But I believe that the results waiting for you will definitely be more abundant!"

Ji Wenshu looked at him in astonishment.

Li Yunhai's hands are so big and warm!
Ji Wenshu's body was shaking and her chest was heaving violently because of crying.

For many years, only at this moment did she feel the warmth between people. (End of this chapter)
