Don't worry, mother, I've brought the golden finger to change your fate

After returning to the headquarters from the Middle East project, Lin Ruowei's life seemed to have returned to normal, but her state of mind had undergone some subtle changes. The conversation on the terrace that night brought her and Gu Yan closer. Although the two did not make a clear commitment, a tacit understanding quietly grew between them.

One afternoon a week later, Lin Ruowei had just finished an internal meeting about a new project. The atmosphere in the meeting room was still a little tense, and the team members left one after another. Gu Yan came over and asked with concern: "Ruowei, the new strategic plan you mentioned in the meeting still needs some details. Do you want to have dinner together tonight and discuss it?"

Lin Ruowei thought for a moment, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I've been too busy these days and haven't had time to relax. Let's find a quiet place."

The two left the company together and came to a small restaurant they often visited. The restaurant had a warm environment, soft lighting, and soothing music that made people feel relaxed. The two found a seat by the window and sat down. Outside the window was a gradually darkening city view.

After ordering, Gu Yan said, "Actually, I know that you have been considering the company's global layout and strategic adjustments. But I think you should give yourself some time to relax occasionally."

Lin Ruowei smiled slightly: "Yes, I am also slowly adjusting my pace. Although work is important, I also understand that I need to balance my life and work."

Gu Yan nodded: "You are so outstanding that people always worry that you push yourself too hard. I hope you can take care of yourself more."

Lin Ruowei looked at Gu Yan and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She knew that Gu Yan's concern was sincere, which made her feel a special warmth in her busy work.

As dinner was served, Gu Yan brought up a new topic: "Have you ever thought that sometimes what we pursue in our careers may not be exactly the same as what is really important in life?"

Lin Ruowei picked up the wine glass, thought for a moment and said, "Indeed. In the past few years, I have been pursuing career achievements and wanting to make the family business gain a foothold in the world. But sometimes, I also ask myself, what exactly do I want?"

Gu Yan looked into her eyes and said gently, "Perhaps what you want is simpler than you think. Career success is of course important, but I hope you can find your own happiness, not just working hard for the company and family."

Lin Ruowei's heart was touched. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Maybe I should really think more about myself. After all, life is not just about work."

Gu Yan smiled and raised his glass: "Cheers to your awakening."

The two smiled at each other, clinked their glasses and took a sip of red wine. The mellow aroma of the wine filled their mouths, as if it brought the two hearts closer.

After dinner, the two walked out of the restaurant. The night breeze blew gently, and the night view of the city was like a dream. Gu Yan suggested: "Let's go to the nearby park for a walk. The weather is very good tonight."

Lin Ruowei readily agreed, and the two walked into a nearby park together. The park was quiet and beautiful, with stars twinkling in the night sky and flowers and plants swaying slightly in the moonlight. The two strolled on the sandy path, with a gurgling stream beside them and tree shadows in the distance.

"I remember the last time we walked together like this was when we first started working together." Gu Yan suddenly said, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone.

"Yes, at that time we had just started to face various challenges together, and we didn't know each other very well." Lin Ruowei responded softly.

"It's different now. We have become each other's pillars and partners." Gu Yan's voice was low and firm. "Ruo Wei, I am really grateful to have fought side by side with you over the years, and I am also glad to know you more and more."

Lin Ruowei stopped and turned to look at Gu Yan, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "Me too. Having you by my side makes me feel at ease. No matter what challenges I encounter, I know I am not alone."

Gu Yan looked at her deeply, as if confirming every emotional fluctuation in her eyes. He took a step forward and gently held her hand. The warm touch made Lin Ruowei's heart beat faster.

"Ruo Wei, I know you are a strong person, but I also want you to know that you don't have to face everything alone." Gu Yan's voice was gentle but firm. "Whether it's challenges at work or troubles in life, I am willing to accompany you through it all."

Lin Ruowei felt the warmth of Gu Yan's palm, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that this was not a momentary impulse, but the deep friendship that they had accumulated bit by bit during their long time together.
