Chapter 06
As for breaking up, that is even easier. As soon as he says he wants to break up, you will put on a smile, indicating that everyone is an adult and has their own choices. It does not matter how long it lasts, but rather cherishing what was once had. Love is not everything for a woman; you still have your career. You will not cry, throw a tantrum, or threaten to hang yourself, nor will you ask him for the living expenses he owes you.
"Are you feeling unfulfilled, or has your family member Xiao Hang abandoned you?" Sister Guoguo, no longer angry, gazed for a long time before uttering this remark, accompanied by a faint smile, exuding a sense of wisdom.
This year, it is said that Mr. A will bring the work "Restoration," which he has personally crafted over six years, to HRD, becoming a judge for this edition of the competition
Also accompanying them is Duoduo, but what excites them so much is neither going abroad nor the fact that the HRD competition is hailed as the Oscars of the jewelry industry. If they were this happy just for the sake of observation and learning, they would have long been met with disdainful glances and would not have attracted so many envious eyes. Even Guoguo Jie has ignored the two of them.
Sister Guoguo was suddenly flustered; she did not expect that this matter could actually be predicted by her. "It's fine, it's fine. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. Sister will let you have this one." Sister Guoguo generously patted Qing Rangan's shoulder.
"Let me ask you, do you think men have a problem with their brains these days? Why get married so early? It's truly a sign of a muddled mind." Guoguo began to grumble early in the morning due to her unfulfilled desires.
Moreover, it has been over a month since she last encountered him in the morning, and she is uncertain whether she should breathe a sigh of relief or mourn the feelings from the game that have long since faded away
However, compared to another matter, this is truly a case of the smallest magnitude
Although the words of breakup were not explicitly stated, everyone is an adult, and with an IQ of at least 80, it is understood by all
"Rang Rang, you should understand me. If a man does not have a career, can he still be considered a man?" Xiao Hang grasped Rang Rang's hand
Sister Guoguo, I say you must look beyond the surface to see the essence; being mature and steady might indeed be dull and uninteresting, right? Qing Rangrang, due to her recent extreme dissatisfaction with men, inevitably holds some bias. Duoduo, being neither mature nor steady at all, also nodded in support of Qing Rangrang, but his stance is merely a case of sour grapes. The two reached the same conclusion, yet their starting points were entirely different
The watermelon was too heavy for her to eat; she was afraid that eating it would cause her to have diarrhea. On the other hand, the sesame was too light, and with a gust of the east wind, it was blown away to the west.
After Guoguo finished venting, she immediately sat down, opened the website, and began browsing the famous matchmaking site "Century Home." Before long, she was smiling broadly. A man had sent her an email containing his matchmaking information.
Last month, everyone in the design studio submitted their works for the HRD International Jewelry Competition, as it was a mandatory requirement. When the results were announced, although Qing Liang did not make it to the HRD competition, she was still considered outstanding within the company. The jewelry she designed has been included in the company's new product catalog for the coming year, and this time she has also been granted permission to observe and learn at the finals of the HRD Jewelry Competition in Belgium
In this relationship, with its ups and downs, the man remains unscathed; which man would not be fond of a woman who willingly serves as a stepping stone? No wonder that when Xiao Hang learned she graduated from a prestigious university and that he had provided her with a house, he immediately changed his demeanor during their blind date and became exceedingly attentive.
Xiao Hang's words have left Qing Rang cold-hearted; he has time to demand a deposit but no time to inform me in advance.
"Oh my, do you think we can take a picture with him? Can he give me an autograph?" Duoduo had already started spinning in place, making Qing feel dizzy, yet she was also very excited
Oh my, I never expected that this year we would be fortunate enough to see the genuine article of 'Restoration'. Duo Duo has already been so happy that he is trembling
"You are coming to me because you are envious of others' good conditions," Guoguo pointed at the label on the screen that read "outstanding appearance, passionate about art, devoted in love."
I am jealous of you, look at this man, translated it means he is outstanding in appearance, fair and plump, passionate about art, indeed, he is passionate about body art, devoted in love, he is devoted to every woman.
"Refusing to be sensitive." She quickly shook her head and wiped her tears with a piece of paper. Regarding Xiao Hang, she simply felt too wronged, with no outlet for her anger, which overflowed into tears in her heart. She had always despised such people, who could do nothing but cry. At that moment, she should have directly splashed a basin of foot-soaking water on Xiao Hang, telling him to roll out of China and stop bringing shame to Chinese men. Unfortunately, for the sake of that utterly useless face, she had constrained herself to such an extent.
"Look, they have more behind them, white-collar workers, with houses and cars." Guoguo continued to read, unwilling to accept.
I am not gay, ugh. " Duoduo stomped his foot, feeling truly wronged. He had merely been a bit trendy, yet he was forcibly labeled as gay by others. It was truly like snow in June.
The recovery can don such a brilliant exterior, as she is truly special. The competition rules stipulate that all works participating in the finals must be genuine versions, yet the designer of the recovery refused, stating that the genuine version of the recovery was not yet ready. In the end, the judges of the competition unanimously agreed that he did not need to bring the genuine version, and the outcome was self-evident: the recovery was the recipient of the best design work of that year
Therefore, Qing Rangrang's mood has improved significantly. Accompanied by Cherry and Duoduo, they boarded the first-class flight to Belgium. Qing Rangrang has already made up her mind to stay at A & E, as the benefits are simply too good.
What should I do? Your presence evokes an indescribable sense of weakness in me. I always feel that with Xiao Hang's departure, certain things will change. I have grown accustomed to having a man in my life, to having someone accompany me during meals, and to spending weekends with someone. To put it in common terms, it's not that I care about you; I care about the loneliness.
Then what about our wedding, and what about the deposit?" Qing's expression also turned cold.
"Your humility is excessive, can you not show a bit of decorum?" Guoguo Jie retorted.
Letting go of her inner grievances, she pondered that the difference between men and women is merely based on their organs. When did careers become a criterion for distinguishing between the two? It was just that she was no longer young, and her family was already aware that she intended to bring her fiancé home. With him leaving so suddenly, how could she explain it? "What if I don't let you go?" Qing felt that there was something amiss within her. At this moment, she desperately needed Xiao Hang by her side to help her deal with the inner demon named Lu Fang.
In fact, Qing does not need to provoke President Lu at all, because there is a gap of forty floors between the ninety-fifth and the fifty-fifth, which is an insurmountable distance
You have only now realized that Xiao Hang has indeed found a man who is exceptionally skilled at living, and the reality is frightening; once he soars high, this rustic woman who has never been abroad will no longer be in his eyes
However, there is a saying in the world that has been repeated so often, yet it is truly effective: "When God closes a door for you, He will open a window for you." It is said that if one experiences disappointment in love, one should find success in their career.
You have left her with no words to say, as a foolish hat has been placed upon her head. She cannot refuse to accept it; she must generously and understandingly allow this man to leave and soar high. Otherwise, she would be seen as clinging desperately, which would diminish her worth.
The release of this news has caused a sensation throughout the entire jewelry industry
Given his overly mysterious identity, the paparazzi have repeatedly stirred the pot, conjuring countless versions in their imagination, and even devised numerous melodramatic and tragic backstories to 'redeem' him, which would truly terrify Shakespeare and simultaneously disdain Guan Hanqing. In this manner, they have elevated him to his current status.
As the cabin door was about to close, the last two passengers arrived late, and Qing let out a gasp as she watched Lu Fang and his assistant Bob enter the first class cabin
Duo Duo's brother twisted his hips in an 8-shaped dance, flamboyantly entering the office with his fingers in a flower gesture. As a result, he was met with a scathing reprimand from Sister Guo Guo: "I absolutely detest you gays. It's one thing to seek out men, but why do you have to go for such handsome ones? Damn it, every character in those boys' love novels is more handsome than the last, making it impossible for anyone to live. And some women specifically love reading those boys' love novels. One day, I'll prepare a few boys' love reality shows for them and force them to watch, not stopping until they are thoroughly disgusted. Let's see if they dare to have any fantasies about boys' love in the future."
You blushed, your eyes reddened, you sniffed, and fell silent, your spirit instantly deflated, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.
However, one cannot simply cry, throw a tantrum, or threaten to hang oneself; in the end, one must still send him off with a smile, in order to uphold the dignity of women. Men seem to prefer these well-educated women as lovers or wives, as it saves them money, effort, and reputation
White-collar workers are likely to be wearing a set of counterfeit Armani suits paired with a few inferior ties. Having a car and a house makes it even easier. Affordable housing beyond the Fifth Ring Road, a second-hand Alto from the workplace, and even a bicycle count as well. Please allow me to continue criticizing.
"Are you really going to be away for a year?" Qing Rangrang wailed inwardly, realizing that men still prioritize their careers above all else. Just as she was about to embark on the journey of marriage with him, he suddenly requested to take a leave of absence from school. They had originally planned to meet their parents at the end of the year and get married, and even booked the restaurant for the banquet. In this day and age, getting married is not easy; if you plan to marry in March next year, you might not even be able to secure a good date by queuing up this March. Qing Rangrang began to feel a headache coming on as she contemplated how to cancel the reservations, and she was also distressed about the deposits.

Qing Rangrang began to feel a headache coming on as she contemplated how to cancel the reservations, and she was also distressed about the deposits.
The next day, Qing reluctantly arrived at the company, feeling listless. Recent events reminded her of the story of losing a watermelon while picking up sesame seeds, and now it seemed as if she had lost even the sesame seeds. Sighing, she pondered back and forth, still feeling that it was the fault of the watermelon and the sesame seeds.
Xiao Hang is going abroad! When he heard this news, Xiao Hang was even more surprised than Qing Rang Rang; it was as if a pie had fallen from the sky and landed on his head
Then can you let the man cultivate some virtue first? Your imposing presence is no less than that of Sister Guoguo
Clearly, it is this man who has betrayed his feelings for the sake of his career, yet he presents himself as a romantic figure, as if to say that he is doing it all for her sake. What does it mean to not dare to hope that you will wait for him? That is merely an excuse to evade responsibility
Six years ago, this mysterious Mr. A was unknown, and his identity remains a mystery to this day. It is only known that six years ago, the ring he designed, "Recovery," made a stunning debut at the HRD competition, and since then, he has become a rising star in the jewelry industry
Sister Guoguo has been feeling quite depressed lately. Although the A & E Group is large and there are many handsome men, unfortunately, the upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked. If they are not the right sexual orientation, then they are married.
Such women are easy to pursue and easy to discard. When they are chasing you, because you do not care about money, even a paper-folded rose can move you; looking back now, it was merely that he was pained by the ten yuan cost of a rose on Valentine's Day. You not only do not want him to give you money, but sometimes you are even willing to invest your own resources, as long as he offers you a few sweet words. As a girlfriend, you understand that women are not vines, but rather kapok trees; you do not disturb him in every matter. When he is busy and does not contact you for a week, you still pretend to be understanding, indicating that a man should prioritize his career. When he is free, you should accompany him to enjoy the mountains and rivers, because his leisure time is precious. As a lover, you know the rules of being a lover: never call his wife, part amicably. As a wife, you dedicate yourself, and you may even have to clean up after his sordid affairs, because you cannot afford to lose face.
"Let me ask you, what difference is there between you and those brainless women if you continue like this? I am only going away for a year, not permanently." What Xiao Hang did not mention was that his flight ticket had already been booked, and he was set to depart tomorrow. This situation was strange and urgent, with a tightly packed schedule. He did not intend to wait until today to discuss it with Qing Rarang.
Sister Guoguo recited for Qing Rangrang with great enthusiasm, showing no trace of the earlier disgruntled demeanor, "Look at this, mature and composed..."
Every industry has its own shining stars. For instance, in swimming, everyone is crazy about Phelps, but even Phelps admires the "Eight Gold" master. In the jewelry industry, the most revered figure is the mysterious designer known as "Restoration".
"Let me know if I am too selfish, and I do not dare to hope that you will wait for me." Xiao Hang held Qing Rangrang's hand
The deposit is not a concern; I have already retrieved it. They are not worried about not having anyone to marry on that day
His company has sent him abroad for a year of study, and it is said that upon his return, he will be appointed as the president of the Greater China region. This situation feels like a dream; he is not the most outstanding among his peers in the company, and there are many capable individuals competing for this position, all of whom have fallen by the wayside. Yet today, unexpectedly, this opportunity has landed in his lap.
