Chapter 218 "Test of Emotion"
In the wave of commercial competition, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen went hand in hand and faced challenges together. However, as the pressure of competition continued to increase, their relationship once again faced severe tests.
The team led by Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen is in a critical period of fierce competition with competitors. In order to improve the quality and competitiveness of their products, they began to increase their investment in research and development, busy day and night between the laboratory and the office. Jiang Ciyou devoted herself to the project. She personally participated in the design and improvement of the product and worked with the technical team to overcome one problem after another. Lu Jingchen was busy expanding the market, negotiating cooperation matters with partners, and striving for more resources and support.
In the process, their life rhythm was completely disrupted. The once warm dating time was replaced by endless work meetings and overtime. They began to ignore each other because of the busy work, and the communication between them became less and less.
Jiang Ciyou often returned home late at night to see Lu Jingchen already exhausted and asleep. She felt guilty, but couldn't put down her work. Lu Jingchen was also busy, and sometimes he didn't see Jiang Ciyou for several days. Their communication was limited to short phone calls and text messages, which were often interrupted by work.
As the days passed, Jiang Ciyou began to feel uneasy. She missed the good times she had spent with Lu Jingchen, when they could walk on the streets together and share each other's joys and sorrows. But now, they seemed to have become two strangers, each working hard for their careers.
One day, Jiang Ciyou worked overtime at the company until late. She looked at the brightly lit city outside the window, her heart filled with fatigue and loneliness. She thought of Lu Jingchen and wondered what he was doing at the moment. She picked up her phone and wanted to call him, but hesitated. She was worried that she would disturb his work, and she didn't know what to say.
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Lu Jingchen calling. Jiang Ciyou was pleasantly surprised and quickly picked up the phone.
"Hello, Ciyou, are you still in the company?" Lu Jingchen's voice sounded a little tired.
"Well, I'm still working overtime. What about you?" Jiang Ciyou asked.
"I am still outside discussing cooperation. I may not be able to go back until very late today." Lu Jingchen said.
Jiang Ciyou felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she tried to remain calm and said, "It's okay, just do your thing first. Take care of yourself."
"You too, don't be too tired." After saying that, Lu Jingchen hung up the phone.
Jiang Ciyou put down her phone, and the loneliness in her heart became stronger. She began to doubt whether the relationship between her and Lu Jingchen could continue. The distance between them seemed to be getting farther and farther, and she didn't know how to close the distance.
At the same time, Lu Jingchen was also troubled by their relationship. He knew that he had neglected Jiang Ciyou recently, but he had no choice. The company's business was getting busier and busier, and he had to go all out to meet the challenges of competitors. He also wanted to find time to accompany Jiang Ciyou, but was always delayed by various things.
Lu Jingchen's heart was full of contradictions and helplessness. He loved Jiang Ciyou, but he couldn't give up his career. He didn't know how to balance the relationship between the two, nor did he know whether Jiang Ciyou could understand his difficulties.
As time went by, the conflict between them became deeper and deeper. Once, Jiang Ciyou needed Lu Jingchen's help for a project, but Lu Jingchen was out of town to discuss cooperation and could not come back in time. Jiang Ciyou felt very disappointed and angry, and she felt that Lu Jingchen did not care about her at all.
Lu Jingchen also felt very aggrieved. He had tried his best to balance work and love, but Jiang Ciyou did not understand him. A fierce quarrel broke out between them.
"You are always so busy that you don't even take care of my affairs. Do you still love me?" Jiang Ciyou said angrily.
"Of course I love you, but I can't give up my work. The company is facing so much pressure now, I have to work hard." Lu Jingchen explained.
"Work, work, all you do is work. Have you ever thought about how I feel?" Tears welled up in Jiang Ciyou's eyes.
"I know I've ignored you recently, but I'm also doing this for our future." Lu Jingchen said helplessly.
"Future? Do we still have a future? We are not even talking now, so what's the point of talking about the future?" Jiang Ciyou said, turned around and left.
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou's departing back, his heart filled with pain and helplessness. He didn't know how to save this relationship, nor did he know what the problem between them was.
After the quarrel, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen fell into a cold war. They no longer contacted each other and no longer cared about each other's lives. Jiang Ciyou put all his energy into work, trying to numb himself with work. Lu Jingchen was also busy with work, and he wanted to prove his worth with the success of his career.
However, the pain in their hearts could not be eliminated. Jiang Ciyou often thought of Lu Jingchen in the dead of night and thought of the good times they had. She didn't know whether she still loved him or whether there was a future between them.
Lu Jingchen also missed Jiang Ciyou. He regretted his impulsiveness and regretted not taking good care of Jiang Ciyou's feelings. He wanted to find a chance to reconcile with Jiang Ciyou, but he didn't know how to start.
During the cold war, their team also faced tremendous pressure. Competitors continued to launch new products, and their market share was gradually eroded. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen both knew that they could not go on like this, and they had to solve their problems as soon as possible and jointly deal with the challenges of their competitors.
One day, Jiang Ciyou heard bad news at a company meeting. A competitor launched a brand new product that was more advantageous than theirs in terms of performance and price. This news shocked and worried Jiang Ciyou. She knew that if they could not respond in time, the company would likely face a huge crisis.
Jiang Ciyou decided to consult Lu Jingchen for countermeasures. She put aside her pride and stubbornness and took the initiative to call Lu Jingchen.
"Lu Jingchen, we need to talk." Jiang Ciyou's voice was a little nervous.
When Lu Jingchen heard Jiang Ciyou's voice, he was pleasantly surprised. He quickly said, "Okay, where shall we meet?"
"Let's do it in the company's conference room." Jiang Ciyou said.
Lu Jingchen immediately rushed to the company's meeting room. When he saw Jiang Ciyou, his heart was filled with guilt and heartache. Jiang Ciyou's face was pale, and his eyes were full of fatigue and worry.
"Ciyou, I'm sorry, I know I have ignored you recently." Lu Jingchen walked to Jiang Ciyou and said softly.
Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen, and the grievance and anger in her heart suddenly surged up. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
Lu Jingchen saw what Jiang Ciyou was thinking, and he continued, "I know there are problems between us, but we can't just give up. We have experienced so many difficulties and challenges together, and we can't separate because of a little conflict."
After listening to Lu Jingchen's words, Jiang Ciyou's heart began to slowly melt. She remembered the good times they had spent together, and their common goals and dreams.
"Lu Jingchen, I don't want to give up either. But what should we do now?" Jiang Ciyou asked.
Lu Jingchen held Jiang Ciyou's hand and said firmly: "Let's face it together. We must believe in our feelings and our abilities. We will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."
Jiang Ciyou looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes and felt his sincerity and determination. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's work together."
Since then, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen began to re-examine their relationship. They realized that although work is important, feelings cannot be ignored. They decided to take time out of their busy work to accompany each other and regain the good times they once had.
They started to have breakfast together, take walks together, and watch movies together. Although these were ordinary things, they seemed particularly precious to them. In the process, their feelings gradually warmed up.
At the same time, they did not forget the importance of work. They led the team to work together to meet the challenges of competitors. They increased investment in research and development and continuously launched new products and services. They also strengthened marketing and improved the popularity and reputation of their products.
With their joint efforts, the company's business gradually improved, their products regained market recognition, and the company's performance began to grow steadily.
However, they know that this is just the beginning. They still have a long way to go and many difficulties and challenges to face. But they are no longer afraid, because they know that as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome any difficulties.
As time goes by, the relationship between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen becomes deeper. They have learned to find a balance between work and life, and they cherish their relationship more. They know that this relationship is hard-won, and they have to cherish it with their heart and manage it with love.
In the days to come, they will continue to move forward hand in hand and create a beautiful future for them. No matter what difficulties and challenges they encounter, they will not give up on each other, because they know that their love is their driving force and the most precious wealth in their lives.
