After the storm subsided, my life returned to normal. The group's operations became more stable, and I successfully repelled all potential threats. However, in the stillness of the night, facing the city lights, the complex emotions from that experience occasionally surfaced in my mind—Lin Zhiyuan's betrayal, Song Ya's ambition, and the unwavering presence of Li Ruobing.
That evening, after Li Ruobing finished his report, he did not leave immediately. He stood before me, his gaze unusually serious. " manager Leng," he said, "I will continue to arrange everything properly." He paused, his voice low, "But there are some things that must be said today."
I raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue. "Over the years, I've seen too many people approach you—some coveting your position, others your wealth," Li Ruobing said slowly. "No one deserves you, but if you allow it, I am willing to accompany you for a lifetime." My gaze flickered as I stared at Li Ruobing in silence. After a few seconds, I suddenly chuckled and walked over to the window.
Looking out at the city's neon lights, I softly said, "Li Ruobing, you always know how to choose your words wisely and when to say them." Li Ruobing waited for my response. I turned to him with a faint smile on my lips: "Perhaps I should try to rely on you just this once."
Just as I began to adjust my mindset, Lin Zhiyuan attempted to approach me once more.
This time, he appeared directly outside the Leng Xue Group's office building, trying to seek a meeting under the pretense of an "in-person apology." Upon learning of this, Li Ruobing wasted no time and personally went downstairs to handle the situation. "I know she will meet with me; she can't be that heartless," Lin Zhiyuan said at the entrance of the building, visibly agitated. "She is someone who values relationships; she will definitely give me a chance." Li Ruobing stood before him with an expressionless face and a tone that brooked no argument: "How dare you mention 'relationships'? In manager Leng's world, there is no longer a place for you."
Lin Zhiyuan's face turned pale instantly. He murmured to himself, "I truly realize my mistakes..." "And what if you do?" Li Ruobing's voice was low and cutting like a knife. " manager Leng has already reached heights you can only dream of; you are merely part of her past." With that, he turned and left without giving Lin Zhiyuan another chance.
A few days later, the group held a senior management meeting. I personally announced Li Ruobing's promotion decision. "Effective immediately, Li Ruobing will serve as the group's Special Advisor, fully responsible for overseas strategic planning." My tone was calm and confident. "I believe he is the best candidate for this position."
After the meeting, some whispered among themselves: " manager Leng seems particularly fond of Special Advisor Li; this promotion came rather suddenly." But I paid no mind. To me, Li Ruobing's loyalty and capability were evident facts; this promotion was merely a natural progression.
Our relationship also became more nuanced and intimate after this promotion. We were no longer just superior and subordinate but had developed a deeper understanding and reliance on each other.
As night fell, Li Ruobing and I stood on the rooftop of the headquarters, overlooking the city's lights. A manager Leng breeze swept by as my gaze pierced through the myriad of lights outside, my lips curling into a slight smile. "Li Ruobing," I spoke softly with an unusual relaxation in my tone, "why are you willing to stay by my side all this time?" Li Ruobing smiled faintly and replied softly: "Because I love you; no reason is needed." I turned to look at him; complex emotions flickered in my eyes but remained unspoken. Instead, I raised my glass and gently clinked it with his.
In that moment, I knew that those around me were no longer faceless figures coveting my power and wealth but someone who truly understood me and was willing to protect me. "Perhaps relying on someone does not mean failure," I whispered as my voice drifted into the night air. And there stood Li Ruobing beside me, his eyes filled with deep devotion and love as if guarding his queen.
