Hidden truth, intricate love

On the eve of Lin Xiaoxuan's decision to leave the company and pursue her entrepreneurial dream, she had a profound conversation with Gu Beichen and Su Wanqing. This exchange was not only a review of past cooperation, but also a blessing and expectation for the future.

In Gu Beichen's office, Lin Xiaoxuan stood by the window, her eyes fixed on the distance. She took a deep breath, turned to face Gu Beichen and Su Wanqing, and spoke slowly:

"Beichen, Wanqing, the days working with you have been the most valuable experiences of my career. But I feel like now is the time to pursue my own dream. I want to start my own consulting firm and help more startups grow."

Gu Beichen's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but it was quickly replaced by understanding and support. He nodded, his tone gentle but firm:

"Xiaoxuan, although your decision was sudden, I completely understand. You have always had extraordinary talent and great ambitions. I believe that no matter where you go, you will shine."

Su Wanqing also stepped forward and held Lin Xiaoxuan's hand, her eyes filled with warmth and blessings:

"Xiaoxuan, your courage and determination have always been my role models. Your new company will definitely be a success. We will always be here to support you, whenever you need help."

A tear flashed in Lin Xiaoxuan's eyes, and her voice was trembling, but full of gratitude:

"Thank you, Beichen and Wanqing. Over the years, you have not only been my colleagues, but also my friends. I will always cherish the time we spent together."

Gu Beichen patted Lin Xiaoxuan's shoulder gently, with a hint of joking in his voice, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere of parting:

"Don't forget, your new office has to be far away from us, otherwise you'll poach all our talented people."

The three of them smiled at each other. Although they were reluctant, they all knew that this was a new starting point in Lin Xiaoxuan's life and an important step for her to realize her self-worth.

The day before Lin Xiaoxuan left the company, the company held a warm farewell party for her. This event was not only a recognition of Lin Xiaoxuan's contributions to the company over the years, but also a blessing for her future journey.

**Farewell party preparations:**

Colleagues began planning and preparing days in advance. They decorated the conference room, hanging streamers and balloons to create a warm and festive atmosphere. The table was filled with snacks and drinks, and there was also a special farewell cake with the words "Thank you, Xiaoxuan, and wish you all the best in your future."

On the day Lin Xiaoxuan left, the company held a small farewell party for her. Colleagues sent their well wishes. Although her departure was regrettable, everyone was also excited about the new chapter she was about to begin.

As the end of the workday approached, colleagues began to gather in the conference room. Gu Beichen and Su Wanqing also arrived early, having prepared brief speeches to express their gratitude and blessings to Lin Xiaoxuan.

Gu Beichen stood up first, cleared his throat, and began his speech: "Dear colleagues, we are gathered here today to bid farewell to our dear colleague and friend Lin Xiaoxuan. Xiaoxuan, since you joined the company, your wisdom, enthusiasm, and professionalism have been an inspiration to all of us. Although we are sad to see you go, we are also excited for the new chapter you are about to begin."

Su Wanqing continued, "Xiaoxuan, you are not only our colleague, but also our friend. Your departure leaves a huge void, but we know you will continue to shine in your new field. We wish you all the best in your new journey, and remember to come home often."

Lin Xiaoxuan stood up, tears in her eyes but a smile on her face. "Thank you everyone! I've learned and gained a lot here over the years. Working with you has been the most valuable experience of my career. Although I'm leaving soon, please know that I will always keep an eye on the company's development and be proud of your achievements."

She paused and continued, "I hope my departure won't cause you too much trouble. I believe that under the leadership of Beichen and Wanqing, the company will continue to achieve greater success. And I will continue to work hard in this new field and live up to everyone's expectations."

As Lin Xiaoxuan concluded her speech, warm applause erupted in the conference room. Colleagues approached, hugged her, took photos with her, and shared their contact information, hoping to stay in touch. Some presented carefully prepared gifts, while others handed over handwritten cards expressing their blessings and gratitude to Lin Xiaoxuan.

As night fell, the farewell party gradually drew to a close. Colleagues bid farewell with reluctance, and Lin Xiaoxuan left the company, feeling deeply moved and blessed. She knew that although she was about to embark on a new journey, the experiences and friendships she had made here would become her eternal treasures.

With Lin Xiaoxuan's departure, Gu Beichen and Su Wanqing continued to lead the company steadily. Their relationship deepened through their shared work, and they both found a balance between work and personal life. Thanks to their joint efforts, the company continued to achieve success in the international market, launching a series of innovative products that garnered widespread acclaim.

Lin Xiaoxuan's new company quickly made a name for itself in the consulting field, and her success story inspired more people to pursue their dreams, whether within an existing company or through entrepreneurship to realize their personal value.

On the eve of Lin Xiaoxuan's departure from the company, she requested a private meeting with Gu Beichen. Although Gu Beichen was surprised, he agreed to her request and they agreed to meet in a quiet cafe near the company.

Inside the cafe, soft music filled the air as Gu Beichen and Lin Xiaoxuan sat by the window. Lin Xiaoxuan looked haggard, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Gu Beichen asked with concern: "Xiaoxuan, what do you want to talk to me about? You seem to be feeling a little unwell."

Lin Xiaoxuan took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly: "Beichen, I...I was recently diagnosed with a serious illness. The doctor said that I may not have much time left."

Gu Beichen's face turned pale in an instant. He asked in shock: "What? How is this possible? You never mentioned it before."
