One day, the company arranged an important project discussion meeting. Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin both attended the meeting. Inside the conference room, there was a tense atmosphere, with everyone making final preparations for the upcoming discussion.
Bai Huaiyu sat on one side of the conference table, her fingers unconsciously tapping on the surface, revealing a hint of nervousness and unease in her gaze. She occasionally glanced at Jiang NanJin, who sat across from her, appearing relaxed and indifferent.
Shortly after the meeting began, Bai Huaiyu proposed a creative idea, trying to push the project's progress with a positive attitude. However, when her gaze met Jiang NanJin's, she noticed a hint of disapproval in his eyes.
Jiang NanJin suddenly spoke up, his voice laced with disdain: "This idea is too naive. In this industry, what we need are practical solutions, not wishful thinking."
Bai Huaiyu's face suddenly turned pale; she felt a wave of shame and disappointment. Her voice trembled slightly, "I just thought this idea was worth a try..."
"Worth a try?" Jiang NanJin scoffed, "We don't have time to experiment with your fantasies. What we need are practical and effective strategies."
The atmosphere in the conference room grew increasingly tense. The other colleagues dared not speak, quietly observing the scene. Bai Huaiyu felt a heavy weight on her heart, experiencing an unprecedented sense of loss and frustration.
After the meeting concluded, Bai Huaiyu did not leave the conference room immediately. She sat there in silence, her thoughts in disarray. She felt that her efforts had been completely dismissed by Jiang NanJin, which severely undermined her confidence.
Jiang NanJin left the conference room immediately after the meeting. His face showed no expression, but the tension in his shoulders revealed his inner displeasure.
Bai Huaiyu walked home alone, her steps heavy under the streetlights, filled with confusion. Each step felt like it was burdened by Jiang NanJin's sharp words, which pierced her heart like knives.
Her thoughts drifted along the desolate streets, replaying scenes from the past in her mind. Each laugh, each achievement seemed overshadowed by Jiang NanJin's words. She felt an unprecedented sense of defeat, as if all her efforts had been ruthlessly denied.
Bai Huaiyu entered a small restaurant, hoping to calm her emotions with a cup of hot coffee. Sitting by the window, she quietly watched the bustling street outside, filled with confusion and disappointment. In this quiet corner, she could finally set aside the mask that always wore a smile and confront her true feelings.
She began to question herself, wondering if she truly was unsuitable for this industry and if her thoughts were indeed too naive. Her fingers gently stirred the coffee cup, causing ripples to form in the liquid. Each ripple seemed to reflect her current emotions—disturbed, anxious, and lost.
Bai Huaiyu took a deep breath, trying to suppress these negative feelings. She reminded herself that even in the face of setbacks, she could not give up. She recalled the passion and dreams that had initially led her down this path, and that fighting spirit gradually reignited within her heart.
She decided that she would not let Jiang NanJin's words become a stumbling block to her progress. Instead, she wanted to transform this experience into a driving force for growth, proving to everyone, including Jiang NanJin, that she was capable of facing the challenges in this industry.
Just then, her phone vibrated, and it was a text from Jiang NanJin: "We need to talk."
Bai Huaiyu looked at her phone screen, feeling a mix of emotions. She didn't know how to respond or whether she should sit down and have a serious talk with Jiang NanJin, or if she should just give up.
Her heart was filled with contradictions and struggles, unsure of what to do. Bai Huaiyu took a deep breath; she knew that regardless of the outcome, this conflict needed a resolution, otherwise their relationship would not be able to continue.
Bai Huaiyu replied to a message: "Okay, let's talk."
She knew that this would be a difficult conversation, but it was necessary. She needed to understand Jiang NanJin's true thoughts while also expressing her own feelings and stance.
As night deepened, Bai Huaiyu left the restaurant and set off on the way home.
**Chapter Twenty-Five: The Accumulation of Misunderstandings (Continued)**
After returning home, Bai Huaiyu sat on the sofa, holding the text message from Jiang NanJin in her hand. Her eyes were filled with struggle and uncertainty. The optimism and positivity she had always maintained seemed to be overshadowed by a hint of fatigue and disappointment at that moment.
After a long silence, Bai Huaiyu decided to reply to Jiang NanJin, setting a time to meet the following evening. She knew that this conversation could determine the future of their relationship.
The next day, Bai Huaiyu felt restless all day long. While working, she often found herself lost in thought, nearly causing a mess with the documents in her hands several times. She tried to calm herself down, but the unease and tension in her heart lingered like a shadow.
In the evening, Bai Huaiyu walked into the agreed-upon café. Jiang Nanjin was already there, sitting in a corner. He looked as relaxed as ever, but there was an unusual seriousness in his gaze.
After Bai Huaiyu sat down, neither of them spoke immediately, and the atmosphere felt somewhat heavy. Finally, Jiang NanJin broke the silence: "I know you might be dissatisfied with the meeting that day."
Bai Huaiyu took a deep breath, her voice carrying a hint of determination: "Jiang NanJin, I need you to understand that my thoughts are not unfounded. I have my own understanding and insights about this industry."
A hint of a smile appeared on Jiang NanJin's face, but it carried a touch of sarcasm. "Bai Huaiyu, you are always so naive. Do you think a good idea can solve all problems? This world is not as simple as you imagine."
Bai Huaiyu's expression darkened, and a flicker of anger flashed in her eyes. "I know the world isn't simple. But at least I am trying to find solutions to the problems. What about you? You only criticize others from your own perspective."
Jiang NanJin was struck by her words, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect the usually gentle Bai Huaiyu to directly refute him like this.
"Do you think I only criticize?" Jiang NanJin's voice became low. "I'm just telling you the reality. In this industry, no one will sympathize with your naivety."
Bai Huaiyu tightly gripped the coffee cup in her hands, her voice trembling, "Maybe you are right. But I won't give up because of that. I will prove that my ideas are feasible."
Jiang NanJin looked at her, a flicker of complex emotions crossing his gaze. He seemed to be reassessing the girl before him. Her determination and courage surprised him somewhat. The look in Bai Huaiyu's eyes was filled with resolve, prompting Jiang NanJin to involuntarily begin reevaluating his own attitude.
"Alright, I look forward to your proof," Jiang NanJin finally said, his voice carrying a hint of softness. This statement seemed to be both an encouragement to Bai Huaiyu and an expectation of her abilities.
Bai Huaiyu knew that this conversation had not truly resolved the issues between them, but at least she had expressed her stance. Her eyes sparkled with determination as she stood up, ready to leave. "Thank you, Jiang NanJin. I will do my best." Her voice was filled with resolve and tenacity.
Jiang NanJin quietly watched her figure until she disappeared outside the café door. A somewhat elusive expression crossed his face, and a hint of contemplation flickered in his eyes. Something within him seemed to have been stirred, but he did not voice it. After Bai Huaiyu left, he took a deep breath and returned his gaze to the documents in his hands.
That night, Bai Huaiyu returned home, filled with complex emotions. She sat by the window, gazing at the night sky outside, her thoughts racing. She knew the road ahead was fraught with difficulties, but she resolved not to run away anymore. She wanted to prove through her efforts that she was not just a naive dreamer. She recalled Jiang NanJin's words, feeling a twinge of pressure, but more so an excitement at facing the challenges ahead.
Jiang NanJin sat quietly in the corner of the café, his deep gaze fixed on the street view outside the window. He began to think that perhaps his perspective on Bai Huaiyu needed reevaluation. He realized that this girl might be much more resilient than he had initially imagined. Jiang NanJin took a gentle sip of his coffee, filled with anticipation for Bai Huaiyu's future.
