Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

"My home is in front. Where do you live?"

Lin Cong pointed in the direction of home and said to Ye Fei.

"The opposite of you, in the far north."

"I'm sorry for today. I was so engrossed in the fun that I forgot the time. Is Grandpa worried?"

"Grandpa passed away a few months ago, and I'm here to handle the house procedures."

"Ah? I'm sorry..."

After hearing Ye Fei's words, Lin Cong felt both sympathy and admiration for Ye Fei. He sympathized with his experience and admired the fact that he could make it to Xiapinye alone.

"it does not matter."

"If you go back, will you be alone?"

"Ah."

"Well, why don't we go back to my grandmother's house and have a simple meal."

"No."

"It's okay. My grandma loves the hustle and bustle."

"Well."

Ye Fei didn't know why he agreed to it for some unknown reason.

When I arrived at my grandmother's house, I smelled the fragrance of food as soon as I entered the yard.

"It smells so good, what delicious food did grandma make?"

This scene brought Lin Cong back to her childhood. Back then, she would play outside all afternoon, and when she got home, she could smell the aroma of food as soon as she stepped into the yard.

"Where have you been? Why did you take so long to come back?" Grandma came out and saw Ye Fei coming. "Congcong, who is this?"

"This is Ye Fei, a friend I met at work."

Ye Fei greeted her, "Hello, grandma."

"Come in, come in!"

In the room, three people sat around the table, looking very warm.

For Ye Fei, such moments are rare. Most of the time, he is alone.

Grandma picked up some meat for Ye Fei and said, "Eat more. You look so thin."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma."

"It smells so good! I haven't eaten grandma's cooking for a long time!" Lin Cong hadn't eaten grandma's cooking for a long time. Because of work, she often had no time to eat.

"You too, you're so skinny that you're just skin and bones. Can't you buy delicious food in the big city?" Grandma scolded Lin Cong.

"Grandma, you have to lose weight now. You don't look good if you are too fat."

"It doesn't matter whether you lose weight or not, good health is the best."

"Grandma, don't worry. I will help you supervise Lin Cong and make sure she eats well." Ye Fei echoed from the side.

"Okay, okay, you should eat more too."

"I understand. Thank you, grandma." Ye Fei felt very happy. He had never felt as relaxed as he did today.

After dinner, Lin Cong suggested going for a walk, and Ye Fei went along.

At night, the lights in the small village light up like intricately intertwined stars.

"Lin Cong, I'm sorry for that day." After spending time together today, Ye Fei felt a surge of regret. That day at the Hyatt Palace, he was helpless and could only watch Lin Cong being bullied.

After hearing Ye Fei's apology, Lin Cong was a little confused at first, but then she understood what Ye Fei meant.

"It's okay. I understand that kind of situation. You must have a lot of frustrations too."

Lin Cong knew that no one dared to offend the Bai family, let alone Ye Fei, who was helpless. He and Ye Fei had no connection, because how could Ye Fei possibly offend the Bai family?

"What are your plans for tomorrow? I'll treat you to dinner."

"I have to go back tomorrow. I have a lot of work to do. I want to take a day off and relax."

"But, Lin Cong, I'm curious, why are you working so hard?"

"Earn more money to pay for grandma's medical treatment. She needs a kidney transplant."

When Lin Cong was in high school, his grandmother was diagnosed with kidney disease. From then on, their already poor life became even worse.

"After I have settled the house issue, I will go back and sign the contract with Xia." After hearing Lin Cong's words, Ye Fei didn't know what to say. He never knew how to comfort others.

"That's great. I'll be waiting for your news."

"Don't worry, I won't change my mind."

"Thank you, Mr. Fei."

"You should go back quickly. It's getting late."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

The two said goodbye and headed home.

After walking a few steps, Ye Fei turned back to look at Lin Cong's back. He kept looking until Lin Cong's back disappeared into the twilight, then Ye Fei turned around and continued walking.

Ye Fei felt that the moonlight that night was beautiful, and the way home was particularly bright.

As soon as he arrived at the company the next day, Lin Cong met Su Qian.

"Mr. Su, good morning."

"You're back? Aren't you supposed to take a two-day break?"

"Well, I thought of too many things to deal with, so I came back early."

"How's your arm?"

"It's much better."

As he spoke, Lin Cong moved his arm to prove that there was indeed nothing serious.

"That's good. What was that about the contract you signed with Pinye the other day?"

When Su Qian asked, Lin Cong suddenly remembered that Su Qian had no idea about the whole story. However, she couldn't bring herself to tell him the specific details.

"Boss Fei said they'll arrange the signing in the next few days, don't worry..."

Lin Cong did not directly answer Su Qian's question.

Su Qian knew that there must be something he didn't know, but thinking of Lin Cong's appearance that day, he didn't ask any further questions.

"Tonight, ask everyone in your department to go out for dinner together. It's my treat."

Lin Cong didn't expect Su Qian to make such a decision. She was a little confused at first, but couldn't help but confirm it again, "Really?"

Su Qian nodded and said, "Remember to arrange your work in advance."

"I understand, Mr. Su."

After saying that, Su Qian turned and left.

Seeing Su Qian walking away, Lin Cong skipped back to the sales department.

After Lin Cong told the sales department staff the news, cheers broke out.

"Sister, I feel like I'm dreaming. Mr. Su invited us to dinner. I can't believe it." Xiaocheng said, holding Lin Cong's hand.

Lin Cong pinched Xiaocheng, and Xiaocheng cried out in pain: "Aiya, sister, what are you doing?"

"Just to make sure you're not dreaming."

When others saw this scene, they all laughed.

"Alright, alright, everyone, speed up and try to finish the work as soon as possible so that we can have a big meal tonight."

After saying this, Lin Cong added in his mind: "It would be a waste if I don't eat it."

Su Qian had never organized or participated in a team-building event. While each department would usually hold team-building events, they were usually led by their managers or supervisors. This was Su Qian's first time hosting a team-building event.

The team building event that evening took place in a unique little restaurant. The decor wasn't exactly high-end, but it was very unique. The owner said the little ornaments were all bought from his travels.

Lin Cong sat next to Su Qian, looking a little restrained.

"Would you like a drink?"

Su Qian poured himself a glass of wine and turned to ask Lin Cong.

"it is good."

Lin Cong didn't want to drink, but since the boss had spoken, she couldn't refuse. Besides, the boss was Su Qian.

"Boss Su, actually I want to ask, why do you want to treat me to a meal?"

Su Qian smiled when he heard Lin Cong's question and said, "Reward you."

"award?"

"Pinye's list."

“But it hasn’t been signed yet.”

"If you can't sign, please come back."

Lin Cong wanted to beat himself to death. Isn't it better to just eat well? Why did he have to ask such a question?

"Thanks a lot."

Su Qian raised his glass and looked towards the forest.

Lin Cong was a little flattered. "It's not hard, it's what I should do."

Su Qian didn't say anything else, but just finished the wine. Lin Cong saw that Su Qian had finished the wine, so he also drank the wine in the glass.

"Boss, can we sing on this stage?" someone asked the restaurant owner.

There was a round stage in the small restaurant with guitars and microphones.

"Of course, it's for singing. Do you want to use it?"

"want."

"Then I'll turn on the device."

Most of the employees in the sales department are relatively young. After drinking, they don’t care whether the boss is there or not and start having fun.

Seeing everyone so happy, Lin Cong also started laughing.

“It seems like we should organize more team-building activities like this.”

Su Qian's sudden voice made Lin Cong put away his smile. "Then let me thank President Su on behalf of everyone."

After saying that, Lin Cong drank the wine in his glass.

Putting down his wine glass, Lin Cong immersed himself in the cheerful atmosphere again. Su Qian looked at Lin Cong silently, hoping that Lin Cong could always be like this.

Su Qian suddenly thought of a video he had seen before, in which there was a line: In order to hug you, I hugged everyone.

At this moment, Su Qian felt that he was very similar to the person in the video. In order to treat Lin Cong to a meal, he invited everyone.
