The President's Tender Trap

Late in the night, the office lights still bright, Lu Ming sat at his computer, brow furrowed, fingers tapping mindlessly on the keyboard. His eyes were filled with fatigue, and his heart seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of worry. Ever since the company faced a crisis, he had been restless. Although team morale was gradually recovering, he still felt a nagging sense of urgency.

"Can I really lead the company out of this predicament?" This thought kept swirling in his mind, keeping him awake at night. He began to doubt his abilities and even his judgment. He tried to recall his past successes, but found that those brilliant achievements seemed incompatible with his current situation.

"I can't go on like this." Lu Ming secretly blamed himself in his heart, pushed away the documents on the table, and wanted to temporarily escape from this endless pressure.

At this moment, the vibration of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts, and Su Wan's name flashed on the screen. Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the call.

"Lu Ming, are you still working overtime?" Su Wan's voice was gentle and concerned, conveying warmth through the phone.

"Well, I'm dealing with some things." Lu Ming tried to make his voice sound relaxed, but he knew that Su Wan could easily detect his emotional fluctuations.

"You've been working overtime lately. I'm a little worried about you." There was a hint of anxiety in Su Wan's voice. "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"It's true." Lu Ming forced a smile, but his heart ached. He didn't want to make Su Wan worry, but he didn't know how to express his anxiety to her.

"Lu Ming, if you feel pressured, you can tell me at any time. I will always be by your side." Su Wan's concern was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the haze in his heart.

"Thank you, Wan'er. I will adjust myself." There was a hint of helplessness in Lu Ming's voice. He knew that he could not deceive Su Wan's keenness.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming sat quietly in his chair, his heart in turmoil. Deep down, he longed for Su Wan's understanding and support, but he didn't want her to see his vulnerable side. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but he couldn't shake the feeling of loss.

A few days later, Lu Ming's condition hadn't improved, and he was making frequent mistakes. Team members began to doubt his decision-making, and some even privately debated whether he was still fit for the CEO position. The pressure weighed heavily on him, and he felt increasingly lost.

Su Wan noticed Lu Ming's change and was filled with worry. She decided to take some action to help him regain his confidence. So, she began to actively seek opportunities to communicate with Lu Ming.

One evening, Su Wan prepared a sumptuous dinner for Lu Ming, hoping to have a deeper conversation with him. At the table, Su Wan poured a bowl of hot soup and said softly, "Lu Ming, I made this soup especially for you. I hope you like it."

Lu Ming looked up and saw Su Wan's slightly flushed cheeks, and his heart couldn't help but warm. He took the bowl of soup and tasted it. The taste was delicious, making him smile. "It's delicious. Thank you, Wan'er."

"You've been working overtime recently. I think you need a good rest." Su Wan said softly, with concern in her eyes.

"I know, but I have some things to take care of." Lu Ming's tone was a little heavy, and his eyes dimmed again.

"Lu Ming, I know you're trying hard, but I hope you can share your thoughts with me." Su Wan's voice was gentle but firm. "I'm always by your side. No matter what happens, I will support you."

Lu Ming's heart trembled slightly. He knew Su Wan was genuinely concerned for him, but he still found it difficult to speak. He lowered his head, silent for a moment, and finally mustered the courage: "I'm afraid. I'm afraid I won't be able to lead the company out of this predicament."

Su Wan's heart tightened, realizing Lu Ming's inner vulnerability. She gently held his hand, her gaze firm. "Lu Ming, you're not fighting alone. You have the ability, and you have the support of your team. Your past successes have proven this, and you'll definitely overcome this difficulty."

"But I feel so lost right now." Lu Ming's voice was low, his eyes showing uneasiness. "I don't know how to make the right decision. I even doubt my own judgment."

"Everyone has moments of confusion, especially under great pressure." Su Wan's tone was gentle, with a hint of understanding. "But this does not negate your past achievements, nor does it erase your ability to perform in this position."

"I feel like I've lost my way." Lu Ming's voice was filled with helplessness and loss. "I don't know how to lead the team out of this predicament."

Su Wan's heart ached. She knew the immense pressure Lu Ming was under. She whispered, "I believe in you. You have accumulated a wealth of experience in this industry. You will never be alone. You have the support of all of us."

A warm feeling welled up in Lu Ming's heart. Su Wan's words seemed to infuse him with strength. He raised his head and looked directly into Su Wan's eyes. The confusion in his heart seemed to be dispelled by her determination. "Thank you, Wan'er. You always give me courage."

"We can face this challenge together." Su Wan said firmly, "If you want, I can also participate in the company's decision-making and help you analyze every option." \n\n"I... I don't want to make you worry." Lu Ming hesitated, still feeling a little uneasy.

"I am willing to bear all this pressure. I hope you can trust me and give me this opportunity." Su Wan's eyes were filled with firm conviction. "We are one. We must always trust each other."

Lu Ming felt touched. He took a deep breath and finally nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to share my thoughts with you."

As their conversation deepened, Lu Ming's mood began to improve. They discussed the company's current situation and future direction, and Su Wan offered many sound suggestions that were refreshing. Using her expertise and unique insights, she helped Lu Ming clarify his thinking and rekindle his hope for the future.

A few days later, Lu Ming shared the new decision he and Su Wan had made during a team meeting. His voice gradually regained its confidence, and his tone was firm and powerful: "The challenges we need to face still exist, but I believe that as long as we unite, we will definitely overcome them."

Lu Ming's words gradually resonated with everyone present, instantly boosting the team's morale. The past haze seemed to dispel at this moment, and employees expressed their willingness to go all out and support the company's development.

After the meeting, Lu Ming walked out of the conference room, his heart filled with relief and gratitude. He knew that none of this was possible without Su Wan's support and understanding. She was not only his lover, but also his strongest supporter.

In the evening, Lu Ming and Su Wan took a walk together. The moonlight shone on them, gentle and peaceful. Lu Ming stopped, turned around, and looked at Su Wan seriously: "Thank you, Wan'er. It's you who helped me regain my confidence."

"I have always believed in you." Su Wan responded with a smile, a gentle light flashing in her eyes, "You will always be the one who is capable of leading the team."

"With you by my side, I have the courage to face everything." Lu Ming's voice was deep and firm, and a warmth surged in his heart.

They smiled at each other in the moonlight, their hearts filled with longing and hope for the future. During this difficult journey, they supported each other and moved forward hand in hand. Trust and understanding became the most solid foundation of their love.

Over time, with Su Wan's help, Lu Ming gradually regained his confidence and courage. He began to actively participate in the company's decision-making and worked hard to create a positive team atmosphere. In this process, he also gradually realized that trust and communication are indispensable elements of teamwork.
