After the fiancée ran away from the marriage, her sister wore a wedding dress

Chapter 32: Tasting the Bitterness of Life
Lan Siyue had a beautiful idea. She thought that with her new project proposal, she would definitely be able to attract investment from investment institutions.

However, the reality is that after a whole week, she didn't get a penny from her investment.

In the past few days, when she went to the investment institution, she didn't even meet a powerful person in charge.

In the next few days, she followed the procedures, communicated first, made appointments in advance, and met with the heads of several investment institutions.

However, those people just took a look at the project book she had worked so hard on and directly stated that they would not invest.

Faced with other people's contempt, Lan Siyue could initially ridicule the other party for being short-sighted and narrow-minded.

However, the continuous blows made her completely depressed.

Reluctance, fatigue, and disappointment made Lan Siyue truly understand how torturous work is.

Another new day.

"It must be successful this time."

Lan Siyue sat in front of the dressing table, using her best friend's cosmetics to put on light makeup on her face.

She used to be naturally beautiful and didn’t need any makeup to attract everyone’s attention.

But now, after a week of high-intensity work, although she still has a delicate and beautiful face, she can't hide the fatigue and can only rely on makeup to cover it up.

During this week, Yangyue Company purchased a lot of equipment and hired a lot of people with high salaries.

Developing emotional AI is a money-burning project that is constantly burning money every moment.

In order to pursue the progress of the project and to develop results as quickly as possible, Xiao Yang kept spending money.

Lan Siyue's pocket money, plus Wang Peipei's investment, is almost 10 million.

Only a week had passed and almost five million had been spent.

Most of it is spent on equipment and staff recruitment.

However, even with all the money being spent like water, the project is still progressing slowly, and there is no sign of any results being achieved.

This also means that Lan Siyue needs to bear more pressure, and she must attract investment for the company as soon as possible.

After Lan Siyue finished putting on her makeup, she stood up and hurried out of the bedroom.

Today, she had a chance to meet with the project manager of "Xingyue Investment".

Although this investment institution does not have a long history in the investment industry and was only established a few years ago, it has already become famous due to the success of several investment projects.

Compared with most investment institutions that seek to win by playing it safe, this investment institution prefers to invest in emerging industries.

For example, the sharing economy that was popular in the past few years, and the current new energy...

Lan Siyue felt that this investment institution would definitely be interested in AI technology.

"Siyue, you're not having breakfast again?"

Wang Peipei sat at the dining table and looked at Lan Siyue who was about to leave in a hurry, so she asked.

Lan Siyue nodded after hearing what Wang Peipei said and responded:

"Well, I'm in a hurry, so I won't eat."

"You haven't had breakfast for a week. This is not good for your health. Even if you are busy at work, you must eat well."

Wang Peipei stood up, looked at Lan Siyue's face helplessly, and said:
"Look at your face, you've become so thin. If Chen Mo... or Xiao Yang knew that you were living in my house and didn't eat well, they would be so distressed. They might even blame me."

She habitually wanted to say that Chen Mo would feel distressed, but then she reacted and quickly changed the topic to Xiao Yang.

Lan Siyue has a standard oval face with a perfect chin curve, but now she looks very thin.

This was not caused by not eating breakfast for a few days, but by the constant running around. In addition, she often skipped lunch and dinner, and only ate snacks when she was very hungry in the middle of the night, which led to her weight loss.

Wang Peipei only knew that Lan Siyue hadn't eaten breakfast in the past few days.

But she had no idea that Lan Siyue not only didn't eat breakfast, she also didn't have a decent lunch or dinner. Lan Siyue knew that as long as she spoke up and told her the situation, her bestie would definitely take her out for a good meal.

But she didn't want Wang Peipei to know her situation.

It was an indescribable feeling. Her best friend was doing well, but she was so miserable. Lan Siyue felt that it would be too embarrassing for her to tell others about the situation.

At this moment, hearing what Wang Peipei said, Lan Siyue pursed her lips, said nothing, but forced a smile on her face and said:
"I'm not hungry, so skipping a few meals won't be a big deal."

At the same time, a feeling of bitterness and discomfort welled up in her heart.

If it were in the past, when Chen Mo still loved me, he would definitely feel distressed if I worked so hard that I didn’t even have time to eat.

No, that's not right.

If Chen Mo still loved me, he would definitely not make me suffer so much.

As long as you don’t want to work, you can put everything aside and enjoy a good life at any time.

If I didn't eat well for a period of time, he would definitely be worried.

As for Xiao Yang...

Lan Siyue recalled that she and Xiao Yang had only spoken a few times on the phone in the past few days and had not even met in person.

Xiao Yang cares about me very much. Every time he calls me, he tells me not to work too hard.

However, he never asked himself whether he had eaten well or slept well.

Apart from a few "don't work too hard", Xiao Yang asked the most about when he could get the investment...

"I'm leaving now, Pepe."

Lan Siyue suppressed the sadness in her heart and waved to Wang Peipei with a smile.

Then she opened the door and walked out.

When she entered the elevator, Lan Siyue still had a smile on her face, but after the elevator closed, she could no longer hold back.

"Woooooo~"

Lan Siyue squatted down, buried her head in her knees, and burst into tears.

At this moment, she didn't think about Xiao Yang, but Chen Mo appeared in her mind.

She had never worked before, and this kind of high-intensity work made her feel tense all the time.

Wang Peipei's words were like a pair of scissors that cut the taut thread directly.

She has never suffered the hardships of life, but is only now slowly realizing it.

Like a little girl who was bullied, Lan Siyue squatted in the elevator, crying uncontrollably.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever she cried, there was always someone around to comfort her.

And almost every time, Chen Mo would be by her side.

"Siyue, why are you crying? Who bullied you? I'll beat him up."

"I will protect you forever."

Lan Siyue cried and the image of Chen Mo as a child emerged in her mind.

At that time, my toys were broken by other children, and I cried alone in my room.

Chen Mo was also very young, but he kept comforting himself and said that he would help him get revenge.

The little boy would always accompany me when I was sad, and would bravely stand in front of me if there was any danger.
