The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

After lunch, Lin Yang and Hu Haili sat facing each other in the same coffee shop they had visited before.

"Haley, I thought that when you left without saying goodbye, you were telling me that our relationship was over and that we should each go our separate ways from now on," Lin Yang said directly.

Hu Haili shook her head and said repeatedly, "Of course not, I never thought that way. Lin Yang, I just hadn't thought it through at the time..."

"But after I got home, I thought about it a lot, and I realized I like you, and I don't want to give up on this relationship. So, I came back. I specifically went to your company for a job interview; I wanted to be closer to you..."

"So you did consider giving up, right?" Lin Yang asked.

"I..." Hu Haili was speechless for a moment, then said, "So, Lin Yang, you already chose to give up, didn't you?"

"Hailey, I've told you before, some relationships are destined to be fleeting, like a passing moment. The kind of devoted, long-awaited waiting for someone only happens in stories," Lin Yang shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend. She's wonderful, someone I feel comfortable spending my whole life with. Even if she doesn't want to get married yet, I'm willing to wait for her my whole life."

"Ha...then what am I? You said you felt comfortable around me," Hu Haili said with a self-deprecating laugh, "In your heart, is she really that good? Better than me?"

"You don't need to compare yourself to her, Hailey. You have your good points, and she has hers. Actually, you're both great, and it's my luck to have met you both."

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "If I hadn't confirmed my relationship with her, I might still have chosen to be with you. But fate waits for no one. When you hesitated and chose to go back, it already showed that I wasn't that important to you."

Similarly, I don't think you're that important to me. Maybe we're a good match, but being compatible doesn't necessarily mean we can be together. I'm grateful to have met you, and I'm sorry that I was just a passerby in your life.

"Lin Yang..." Watching Lin Yang get up and leave after he finished speaking, Hu Haili felt very uncomfortable and regretted that she hadn't been decisive enough.

"He's just a man. Even if he's outstanding, you don't need to make yourself so upset, do you?"

Suddenly a sound rang out, and a woman in a green coat sitting not far away got up and walked over, sitting opposite Hu Haili.

Hu Haili frowned and looked at her: "We don't seem to know each other, do we?"

"You don't know me, but I know you," the elegantly dressed woman said, handing a document to Hu Haili.

"This is my resume, how did it end up in your hands?" Hu Haili looked at her with increasing surprise.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lü Wei, and I'm one of the shareholders of Yiming Planning Company," the woman said with a faint smile. "I want to kick Lin Yang out of the company. Are you interested in helping me?"

"Kick him out? Why? Do you have a grudge against him?" Hu Haili asked, her brows furrowed in surprise and confusion.

"You don't need to worry about that," Lü Wei said, clearly not wanting to say more.

"How do you want me to help you?" Hu Haili then asked, "I'm just the HR director, what can I do for him, the vice president of the marketing planning department?"

"Do you really want to help me get rid of him?" Lü Wei asked with a playful smile.

Hu Haili frowned and asked, "If you don't believe me, why did you come to me?"

"I've come to tell you that his current girlfriend is named Li Xiaoyue. She works in the marketing department and has been with Lin Yang since she first joined the company. You could say she's his biggest fan."

Lü Wei said, "Later, she left for a while, then came back and moved into the same neighborhood where you and Lin Yang live. Now, they live together."

"However, before that, Lin Yang lived with another woman, Gao Lan, who is now the director of the marketing planning department's promotion team. She is ten years older than Lin Yang. They were already living together before you met Lin Yang."

"What's even more interesting is that Gao Lan is still living in your neighborhood, and it's the same place where Li Xiaoyue used to live."

Hu Haili's expression darkened slightly: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Knowing all this, do you still like him?" Lü Wei asked rhetorically.

"You said all of this. If Gao Lanzhen and Lin Yang had something going on, would Li Xiaoyue have remained indifferent? Could it be that they've both been brainwashed by Lin Yang?" Hu Haili said.

Lü Wei laughed: "Not bad! They say women in love become foolish, but you're quite calm and rational. Indeed, I was misleading you just now."

"That girl named Li Xiaoyue is very good. She's pretty and cute, quite capable, and a very insightful person," Lü Wei continued.

"Gao Lan was originally just a woman who wanted to get married and settle down. After being heartbroken, I don't know what method Lin Yang used, but he was able to transform her completely and make her outstanding."

"You have good taste. The man you've chosen is very capable, and his character is alright. No capable man is perfect," Lü Wei said meaningfully.

"Since you've made up your mind to come to Beijing, and you're here for him, are you really willing to give up so easily? Are you just going to hand Lin Yang over to someone else?"

"What do you want me to do?" Hu Haili asked, frowning.

"I want you to fight for him, to win Lin Yang back, and to let the whole company know that you like him..." Lu Wei said with a smile.

"You want me to influence his work? To use me to force him out of the company?" Hu Haili frowned.

Lü Wei's smile deepened, even revealing dimples: "You're really smart! I'm starting to like you."

"If I really did that, he wouldn't just not like me, he might even hate me," Hu Haili said, shaking her head.

Lü Wei remained noncommittal: "There's nothing wrong with liking him, and what's wrong with loving someone and not wanting to let go? If this makes Li Xiaoyue back off on her own, then you've already won half the battle."

"Furthermore, with Lin Yang's abilities, even if he leaves the company, he will have plenty of opportunities to develop on a larger platform. This might not be a bad thing for him, right?"

"If we let him stay at the company, Li Xiaoyue and Gao Lan will definitely not leave either. Li Xiaoyue and Lin Yang spend every day together, and their relationship will only get better and better, so you will never have a chance."

"You finally made up your mind to come to Beijing, are you really going to slink away like this, willing to go back in such a defeated and frustrated state?"

Hu Haili's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she clenched her hands tightly.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Hu Haili couldn't help but ask. She felt that this woman was too powerful, as if she could control people's hearts. Why did she have to target Lin Yang?

"I told you, I'm going to kick Lin Yang out of the company," Lü Wei said.

"What good is this for you? He's so capable, wouldn't staying with the company make more money for them?" Hu Haili was increasingly puzzled.

Lü Wei chuckled: "How much do you think this tiny planning company can make in a year? Do you think I'd care about that little bit of money?"

Hu Haili was speechless. She could tell that this Lü Wei was no ordinary person, and she seemed to be wearing designer brands. But after hearing what she said, Hu Haili still felt that she couldn't understand the world of the rich.

If a planning company with dozens of employees doesn't care about the money it makes, then how much money does she care about?

"Are you willing to cooperate with me? Give me a straight answer! If you don't agree, I can think of other ways. Anyway, I don't want him to stay in the company any longer. He has to leave."

Lu Wei said casually, as if she had Hu Haili completely under her thumb.
