Counterattack starts with controlling probability

As the listing time approaches, the work pressure of Li Hao's team members is increasing.

Until one Wednesday, Feng Zhiyuan, the CTO of Noah Technology, suddenly fainted at his workstation while preparing materials, which scared Li Hao, Xu Lei and others.

Li Hao decided on the spot to give his dearest friends a temporary holiday!

"Comrades, good health is the capital of revolution. Although we are about to become shareholders of a listed company and the work pressure is indeed very high, we should not work too hard. So I have decided..."

Li Hao's words came so suddenly that everyone was stunned.

"What did you decide?" Xu Lei came back to his senses and asked.

"I've decided to give everyone two days off temporarily, the kind of forced rest. You can go home after finishing the work at hand. I'll ask HR to revise everyone's attendance!" Li Hao suddenly raised his voice and said.

"Oh, you finally let us take a break, my good brother!" Chen Kai joked.

"What? You don't want to? Then continue working, and don't forget to take your homework from Peking University and Tsinghua University seriously!" Li Hao said, giving Chen Kai a blank look.

So, just like that, the teams of Noah Technology and New Star Investment, at the instigation of their willful boss/major shareholder, began to take a temporary vacation.

Li Hao directly suggested that his team have a team-building activity to completely relax, so he chose mid-week.

Because no one wants to go for team building on weekends.

……

In the morning in northern Beijing, the air is fresh, the sun shines on the hills in the suburbs, and a breeze blows, carrying a hint of soil and grass.

Li Hao's team members gathered early in the morning and assembled at a suburban resort, preparing for a relaxing and enjoyable outing.

The event was arranged in a quite relaxed manner. Not only Xu Lei, Chen Kai, and Liu Xia were present, but also Noah Technology's CTO Feng Zhiyuan and a female teacher he met during his training at Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Of course, when college teachers do not have classes, their time is relatively free and they do not need to take extra leave.

As Li Hao's friends and colleagues, these people are all looking forward to this outing.

After all, I have worked for this black-hearted boss for so long, and I have to deal with various companies like fighting a war. This opportunity is rare.

Li Hao took this opportunity to relax and get closer to his team members.

Especially Liu Xia.

At the beginning of the event, everyone strolled on an open lawn, chatting, taking photos, and enjoying the tranquility of nature.

Xu Lei and Feng Zhiyuan enthusiastically discussed the latest technological trends.

There's nothing we can do about it, since that's all they have in their minds.

Chen Kai chatted with the female teacher about the prospects of market investment, and the topics were rich and diverse.

The teacher knew that Chen Kai was a graduate student from Peking University or Tsinghua University, and he looked at him with a different eye.

Li Hao and Liu Xia slowly fell behind. The two of them walking together had an indescribable tacit understanding.

"The weather is so nice today." Liu Xia suddenly whispered, her eyes looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, her voice soft.

Li Hao smiled slightly, slowed down his pace, and walked side by side with her: "Yes, the air is fresh, it's perfect for relaxing."

He deliberately moved closer, and the scent around him mixed with her warm body temperature.

Liu Xia felt the breath coming from beside her, tilted her head slightly, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

She had had many interactions with Li Hao before, but like today, walking alone with him on this green grass, she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

She smiled lightly and changed the subject: "Uh, that cooperation project you mentioned yesterday, how is the progress?"

Li Hao glanced at her with a playful smile in his eyes: "Work, work again, it's everywhere."

"Then why are you here for an outing? Wouldn't it be better to just go back to work instead of doing any real work?"

Liu Xia raised her eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied, but also with a hint of gentle joking.

"I'm busy for everyone's good. I still have to go back to work next week."

Li Hao answered, but his eyes did not leave Liu Xia's.

He saw a barely perceptible smile in her eyes. That sincere and relaxed smile made Li Hao's heartbeat slightly faster.

They walked very slowly, and from a distance, they were already walking towards the small hill in the distance, getting farther and farther away.

The warmth and breeze in the air gently caressed her. Liu Xia turned back quietly and found that the people around her were gradually moving away. Only she and Li Hao were still staying on this quiet meadow.

"Are you really planning to keep busy like this?" Liu Xia suddenly asked, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, but a rare seriousness in her eyes.

Li Hao knew that the "busy" she was talking about was not just work, but referred to his dedication to his career and his unwillingness to relax.

Although he usually gives people an image of calmness and composure, Liu Xia knows that Li Hao has always been the kind of person who is extremely dedicated and has almost no time to stop for himself.

"I'll adjust slowly."

Li Hao's voice was low and steady, but his eyes unconsciously became soft.

He looked at Liu Xia's nervous and somewhat tired face, and felt a little impulse in his heart.

"However, I think that sometimes putting down work and enjoying life can actually be more motivating."

Liu Xia was slightly stunned, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in her eyes.

Her understanding of Li Hao made her realize that every decision he made was carefully considered.

But today, his words were filled with a different kind of tenderness, which moved her a little.

The two stopped and stood on an open meadow. It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Li Hao turned his head and looked at Liu Xia. A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, which made him almost unable to resist reaching out to touch her.

"You are sometimes too rational." Liu Xia said softly, her eyes slightly lowered, as if she was talking to herself, or to Li Hao.

Li Hao frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Her words seemed to have touched a part of his heart that had never been touched.

“Reason is for decision-making, emotion is for life.”

Li Hao responded, his tone slightly provocative, but with a warm smile in his eyes.

Liu Xia stopped talking and stayed where she was.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Li Hao, the tacit understanding in her eyes was self-evident.

Li Hao didn't say anything else, just looked at her quietly.

At this time, Xu Lei's voice came from a distance: "Hey, Li Hao, Liu Xia, you two walk slowly, the others are ready to go to the top of the mountain, hurry up and catch up!"

Liu Xia looked at Li Hao, smiled lightly, turned and walked towards the team in the distance.

Li Hao stood there, watching her leave, but there was a subtle fluctuation in his heart.

The atmosphere today is different from usual. The relationship between me and Liu Xia seems to have finally found a subtle opportunity at a certain moment.

Li Hao and Liu Xia were walking on a mountain path, surrounded by lush greenery. In the distance, a clear stream was gurgling. Sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, and mottled light and shadows intertwined on their faces.

At this moment, the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and grass, as if time has become slow and gentle at this moment.

"Really good." Liu Xia couldn't help but exclaim softly, looking up at the blue sky with a hint of relaxation and enjoyment in her eyes.

Her tone was no longer her usual competent and rational one, but carried a long-lost sense of ease and comfort.

Li Hao turned his head and glanced at her. At that moment, his eyes became gentle, as if he was watching a long-lost and rare beautiful moment.

"Yes, this kind of time is quite precious. Relaxing outside of work can help people find their direction again."

His words were full of meaning, as if he was talking about work, but also about their relationship.

Liu Xia didn't say anything and was silent for a moment, but her heart was a little moved.

Li Hao's words seemed to contain a concern that could not be ignored. That concern did not only appear at work, but also subtly integrated into her life.

They walked a little slowly, occasionally exchanging a few simple conversations, but mostly spent time together in silence.

When he reached an open platform, Li Hao stopped and looked at the mountains in the distance.

He suddenly said, "Xiaoxia, you know what? Oftentimes, we're so focused on the work at hand that we overlook the beauty around us."

Liu Xia raised her head and felt his gaze, her heartbeat quickening. "What's beautiful?"

"For example, like now." Li Hao's tone was warm, "For example, walking on this grass with you, away from the pressure of work, enjoying a quiet time."

Liu Xia's heart trembled slightly.

These words came out of Li Hao's mouth with a tenderness that he had never had before.

She slowly turned around and looked into his eyes, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"You mean, the time you spend with me outside of work?" she asked softly, her voice gentle and a little uncertain.

Li Hao smiled slightly and nodded, with undisguised warmth in his eyes. "Yes, outside of work, being able to have such quiet time is not only for rest, but also for understanding each other. What do you think?"

Liu Xia was stunned, her heart was in turmoil.

In these few years, her relationship with Li Hao has always remained at the level of partners. Although there are occasional topics beyond work, and even occasional eye contact, there is always a subtle distance between them.

Although her father, Liu Fei, has been creating opportunities for her, this is not what she wants.

She was waiting for Li Hao to figure it out on his own.

Today, this distance seems to be disappearing quietly.

The warmth in Li Hao's eyes made her feel a little overwhelmed, as if at some point, she felt an unprecedented closeness.

She lowered her head and pretended to organize the things in her backpack, trying to hide the turmoil in her heart.

Then she slowly said, "Are you telling me some sweet nothings?"

Li Hao did not answer immediately, but just looked at her quietly, with the smile in his eyes deepening.

She smiled, her voice a little playful, but also a bit of nervousness that she couldn't hide.

After a moment, Li Hao whispered, "Love words? I think it's not love words, it's the truth."

His words were spoken in a light tone, yet with a sincerity that could not be ignored.
