Chapter 332 Emotional Ease
After that brief and cautious conversation, there seemed to be a subtle change between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen. Just like a ray of warm sunshine in the cold winter, although weak, it began to slowly melt the thick layer of ice.
The atmosphere in the company still had the aftermath of the previous cold war, and employees could vaguely sense the tension between the two top executives. However, from this day on, some subtle changes were quietly taking place.
The morning sun shone through the gaps in the blinds onto the desk. Jiang Ciyou sat in her seat, tapping her fingers lightly on the table, her eyes somewhat vacant. Her mind kept thinking about the conversation with Lu Jingchen yesterday. Although it was just a simple exchange about company affairs, it was after all their first conversation after a long cold war. She could feel her deep desire to reconnect with Lu Jingchen, but the hurt from the past quarrels and cold wars made her hesitate. She was afraid that this was just a temporary easing, and worried that she would fall into endless conflicts again.
At the other end of the office, Lu Jingchen was also sorting documents, and his movements were a little slower than usual. His thoughts were also tied up by yesterday's conversation. He knew that although this conversation was brief, it might be an opportunity for their relationship to improve. He looked at the documents in his hand, and the data and text on it seemed to have become bits and pieces of his past with Jiang Ciyou. He remembered that they once worked together all night for a project. At that time, they trusted and relied on each other, and were full of tacit understanding. But now, this tacit understanding seems to have been worn out. He secretly made up his mind to seize this opportunity and slowly restore their relationship to its original state.
In the morning meeting, the tense atmosphere had not completely disappeared, but it had been significantly eased. When Jiang Ciyou was explaining a project plan, she glanced at Lu Jingchen unconsciously. Lu Jingchen was also looking at her with a hint of concentration in his eyes. Jiang Ciyou's heart moved slightly, and she continued to talk about the plan, her voice a little more stable than usual. During her narration, she mentioned some of the views that Lu Jingchen had put forward before, intentionally or unintentionally, which surprised Lu Jingchen, and at the same time, a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that Jiang Ciyou was sending him a signal of goodwill.
After the meeting, Lu Jingchen walked towards Jiang Ciyou. His steps were a little hesitant, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "I think we can discuss the point you just mentioned in more depth." Jiang Ciyou raised his head and looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and then nodded. They walked to the corner of the meeting room and began to discuss quietly. The employees around were a little surprised to see this scene, but they were also relieved. After all, the conflict between the two senior executives has had a significant impact on the company. Now that they have begun to communicate, everyone hopes that they can reconcile completely.
During the discussion, although their words still revolved around work, their tone was no longer stiff and cold. When Lu Jingchen spoke, he would occasionally gesture with his hands, which was his habitual action when he had a serious discussion with Jiang Ciyou. Jiang Ciyou looked at his movements and felt a familiar feeling in her heart. She found that she actually still missed Lu Jingchen like this, the one who was full of passion and vitality and enthusiastic about work.
As the communication deepened, they began to let down their guard. Lu Jingchen agreed with some of Jiang Ciyou's suggestions for revisions. He smiled and said, "Your idea is very good. I may not have considered this before." Jiang Ciyou also responded, "In fact, your idea has also given me a lot of inspiration. We can combine the two." Although their smiles were still a little forced, it was the first time in a long time that they showed a sincere smile because of work. This smile seemed to have a kind of magic that made the air around them become relaxed.
It's lunch time, and the company cafeteria is bustling with people. Jiang Ciyou walked to her usual seat as usual, with simple food on her plate. Just as she sat down to eat, Lu Jingchen came over with a plate. He sat down opposite Jiang Ciyou and said unnaturally: "There are too many people today, do you mind if I sit here?" Jiang Ciyou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. They began to eat in silence, and the sounds around them seemed to be amplified. Occasionally, they would look up at each other, then quickly lower their heads. This awkward atmosphere was accompanied by an indescribable sense of closeness.
During the meal, Lu Jingchen broke the silence and said, "The company has been under a lot of pressure recently, and we still have to find ways to improve employee morale." Jiang Ciyou swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "I've also been thinking about this issue. Maybe we can organize some team activities." Their conversation still revolved around the company, but this kind of communication in daily life has brought their relationship closer.
In the afternoon, an important customer visited the company. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen were responsible for the reception. During the reception, they showed a tacit understanding. Jiang Ciyou was responsible for introducing the basic situation and business scope of the company. Her words were appropriate and her manners were elegant. Lu Jingchen supplemented some specific cases and data on the side. His narration was vivid and interesting, which made the customer listen with great interest. The customer was very satisfied with their cooperation and kept nodding and praising. In the communication with the customer, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen occasionally exchanged glances, which contained a kind of trust and recognition of each other.
After receiving the client, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen returned to the office. They both felt a little tired, but at the same time they had a sense of accomplishment. This feeling of completing something together reduced the gap between them. Jiang Ciyou sat on the sofa and rubbed her temples. After seeing this, Lu Jingchen poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, saying, "Take a rest if you are tired." Jiang Ciyou took the water and whispered, "Thank you." This thank you made Lu Jingchen feel very warm, and he knew that the relationship between them was slowly recovering.
In the evening, the company's employees left work one after another. Jiang Ciyou was still processing some documents in the office. When Lu Jingchen passed by her office, he saw that the light was still on inside, so he knocked on the door gently. Jiang Ciyou looked up and saw that it was Lu Jingchen, and asked, "What's the matter?" Lu Jingchen walked in and said, "It's been a busy day today. Do you want to have dinner together?" Jiang Ciyou hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
They walked out of the company building, and the city lights were bright at night. They came to a nearby restaurant, and the lights in the restaurant were soft and warm. They sat by the window and ordered food. While waiting for the food, they began to chat about some light topics, such as a book they had read recently or a movie. This kind of chat made them feel as if they had returned to the time when they first met, when they were not troubled by the pressure of work and the conflicts in their relationship.
The dinner went well, and they laughed more and more. When they left the restaurant, the cool night breeze blew, and Jiang Ciyou shivered. When Lu Jingchen saw this, he took off his coat and put it on her. Jiang Ciyou wanted to refuse, but Lu Jingchen said, "It's cool at night, don't catch a cold." She had to accept it.
They walked home at a much slower pace than usual. They enjoyed the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, and all the troubles in their hearts seemed to be forgotten. Although they knew that there were still many problems to be solved between them and their relationship could not be restored to its previous state all at once, the experience of this day gave them hope. They believed that as long as they were willing to let go of the past conflicts and understand and tolerate each other again, their relationship would definitely get better and better.
After returning home, they each returned to their own rooms. But this night, they both slept much more peacefully than before, because they knew that the cold war between them was slowly coming to an end, and a new relationship was slowly being established.
The next morning, the sun shone into the room. Jiang Ciyou woke up and felt much better than yesterday. She walked out of the room and saw Lu Jingchen preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Lu Jingchen saw her and said with a smile, "Good morning. I made fried eggs and sandwiches today." Jiang Ciyou also smiled and said, "It looks good." They sat at the dining table and ate breakfast together. The sun shone on them. At this moment, they felt a long-lost warmth and happiness.
This harmonious atmosphere continued to spread in the company. Seeing that their two leaders were no longer in a cold war, the employees were more motivated to work. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen also communicated more and more frequently at work. They began to share their ideas and experiences with each other and no longer acted independently as before.
At a project discussion meeting, Lu Jingchen proposed a bold idea. Jiang Ciyou did not directly deny it as he did before, but thought about it carefully and said, "This idea is very innovative, but we may need to consider the difficulty of implementation." Lu Jingchen nodded and said, "I know, so I want to hear your opinion and see how to make this idea better implemented." They began to discuss the feasibility of this idea together. Seeing their active interaction, other employees also joined the discussion. The whole meeting room was filled with a positive atmosphere.
As time went by, the relationship between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen became more and more harmonious. Their cooperation in the company became smoother and smoother, and the company's performance began to gradually recover. They knew that all this was due to the easing of their relationship. They cherished the current state more and understood more how important communication and understanding are in relationships and work.
However, they also know that their relationship still faces many challenges. Although the conflicts in the past have gradually faded, the traces of the hurt are still there. They need to work harder to repair and rebuild their relationship in order to make it stronger. However, they believe that as long as they maintain their current state and move forward step by step, they will be able to regain the love they once lost and make it more indestructible.
In the days that followed, they continued to support each other in work and life. They faced various problems in the company together and enjoyed the little happiness in life together. Every difficulty became a touchstone of their relationship, and every laugh deepened their love for each other. They knew that they were heading towards a hopeful future, a happy future that belonged to them.
They began to attend some industry events together, where they attracted many people's attention with their tacit cooperation and unique charm. They were no longer the couple troubled by conflicts and cold wars, but a pair of energetic and confident partners. Their story also spread in the industry and became a good story among people.
Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen also realized that their relationship is not just a matter between the two of them, but also affects the people around them. They hope that through their own story, more people will understand that it is not terrible to encounter conflicts in a relationship. As long as you have the courage to face it and the patience to repair it, you will definitely be able to regain happiness.
At an annual meeting of the company, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, as the core figures of the company, stood on the stage together to give a speech. Holding hands, they faced the employees and partners below the stage, their eyes full of happiness and gratitude. They reviewed the company's development process in the past year and also shared their own emotional stories. The people below the stage were moved by their stories and applauded and blessed them.
At this moment, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen knew that they had gone through the most difficult period, and their relationship and career had ushered in a new starting point. They will continue to move forward with this happiness and hope to create a better future.
