, the organizer of this bidding is the elusive CEO, Gu Lengting.

　　I made several appointments, but he didn't agree.

　　It wasn't until I mentioned the name of my sister, Lin Qi, and talked about the grievances between us that I finally obtained a 20-minute meeting opportunity in 20.

　　He was indeed the kind of man who exuded a strong presence, had an elite air in every gesture, and had the power to crush someone with a flick of his wrist.

　　He raised his chin arrogantly and looked at me.

　　"Miss Lin, even if you manage to get a few minutes with your sister's help, I don't think we have anything to talk about." I smiled and said to him, "CEO Gu, they all say that I used to bully my sister." His gaze slightly darkened as he stared at me.

　　"But I haven't done anything, and yet all the men follow her like they're bewitched, standing by her side wholeheartedly and trusting her completely." "I'm really worried, President Gu.

　　You're in the same state." He was clearly somewhat annoyed, glaring at me.

　　"Dare you speculate about me?" "..."

　　I shook my head.

　　"I'm just advising you to choose your career.

　　Think of the consequences, like what happened to Jiang Shuhuai and Lu Zhao.

　　You might end up suffering and regretting it."

　　He sneered.

　　"Why should choosing you mean choosing my career?" I paused for a moment before preparing to get to today's main topic.

　　"Because, President Gu, you understand very well what kind of person my sister is."

　　"The proposals I sent these past few days, you can see that they are superior to what my sister presented, right? Perhaps this bidding conference is just a small toy you're giving her."

　　"But have you ever thought that choosing me could bring greater benefits to your group? This benefit might not be significant to you, but what if it could trigger a bigger chain reaction?"

　　"The brand under my management went from being established to becoming globally popular in just four years."

　　"You are a rational businessman, not someone ruled by love, right?"

　　"I just hope that, at this moment, you can treat this bidding conference fairly."

　　The man stared at me without saying a word.

　　I nodded, politely bidding him farewell.

　　I didn't need his response; I just needed to plant this seed in his heart.

　　Afterward, I threw myself into modifying the proposals without stopping.

　　That conversation with him for twenty minutes was certainly not just empty words.

　　In order to communicate with him and clients in my work, I self-studied a bit of psychology.

　　I formed an image of him in my mind and made speculations about what kind of presentation he would prefer.

　　From the reports to the way I dressed that day, even down to the tone for every word, everything had to be changed.

　　I kept rushing for five or six days straight.

　　The day before the bidding conference, Pei Chen invited me to go hiking.

　　Actually, I was feeling a little tired, but he told me we would go to sleep after we finished hiking.

　　And the reason why we had to climb up was that there was a very efficacious temple on the mountaintop.

　　I couldn't help but laugh at him.

　　"Pei Chen, you're so superstitious?"

　　With his hands in his pockets, he stood below the temple.

　　"That day, when I found out that Lin Qi was the little girl I missed when I was a child..."

　　"I actually felt moved." I stared at him in a daze, then subconsciously asked him, "Then why didn't you be with her?"

　　"Because I don't believe in destiny." "..."

　　The wind blew through the temple, carrying the red silk.

　　Step by step, he walked in front of me and placed the red talisman around my collar.

　　"But now, I can't control the urge to pray to the gods in the temple."

　　"I pray that they spare you, and I pray that they stand by your side once."

　　He embraced me just like that.

　　Our fingers intertwined and pressed into each other's palms.

　　"I don't want you to be sad."

　　"I don't want you to be unwilling."

　　"I don't want you to put in so much effort only to end up in failure."

　　"Do you know?"

　　"That day when you called me to ask if we should believe in destiny..."

　　"It hurt my heart so much."

　　"..." I stared at the phoenix tree in the courtyard.

　　I looked up and gently rubbed his soft black hair.

　　"I won't lose."

　　"Perkins, I said.

　　I won't lose."
