LY Building, 38th floor, to the normal working hours, everyone put in their work in an orderly manner.
However, the staff gradually realized that today's general manager did not seem to be in a good state.
From the morning onwards, Ling Yao would look at the time from time to time. At times, Jun Pang's face would be expressionless, and he would be lost in thought while staring at the air. He was like a sculpture of the mind that could be viewed from afar and not mocked.
Everyone looked at each other. After checking out the general manager's schedule for the day, they realized that not only did he not make an appointment, he had even pushed aside all of his morning activities and meetings.
What was going on?
There was definitely something fishy going on!
The general manager's guess about who he was waiting for continued all the way until noon.
The more time passed, the colder Ling Yao's expression became. Shouldn't he have tightened his grip on time, giving her more room to think?
He waited until noon. In the empty office, he was alone. Somehow, he felt a sense of loneliness.
She didn't come.
There was only the light ring from his cell phone, indicating that a text message had come in.
Ling Yao leaned back in his leather chair, his legs looking so handsome that it could make people scream. He held his cheek with one hand and stared at his phone on the table that was shining with light. He was silent for a long time.
After a long while, he reached for his phone and unlocked it. Then, the contents of the text message entered his eyes.
Hai Xiaomin: "Sorry."
As expected, she refused!
It was out of his expectations, but it also seemed to be within his expectations.
His long, shapely fingers flew, and Lightning typed a short message: 'I want to know why.
On the other side, Hai Xiao Min held her phone and was stunned as she read the reply.
The reason?
There were many things about her. For example, she thought highly of herself and couldn't let go of her body; for example, she promised Tang Xuan that she would wait for his return; for example, he didn't want to use marriage contract as a game; she didn't want to be someone's mistress for money …
Finally, she tapped on the next line on her phone and sent it.
"Little Min!" Father Hai's voice came from the living room.
"He's here!" Hai Xiao Min quickly put away her phone, rolled off the bed and left the bedroom.
'I don't want my father to break my legs! ' This was Hai Xiaomin's reply. He could imagine how she would use a relaxed and playful tone to express her helplessness and pain.
Seeing this, Ling Yao could not help but laugh out loud. Then, his smile gradually turned cold as he muttered to himself into his phone: "I have missed a golden opportunity, don't regret it …"
The three members of Hai Clan were gathered in the living room, the atmosphere was silent.
Looking at his parents' serious faces, Hai Xiao Min's eyes turned sour. "Dad, are we really going to sell the base?" he asked.
No matter how tight the bank had been, he had still tried his best to protect the base. However, after experiencing two days of being forced to pay a debt and his family being scared out of their wits, not even daring to return home, he had finally made up his mind to sell the base and pay off all his debts.
Hai Fu told them that the decision was made this morning, before Hai Xiaomin decided to agree to Ling Yao's conditions and went out to the LY Building.
After knowing about this, Hai Xiaomin's eyes became red with anxiety. She secretly advised her father that she could find a better way to repay her debt without having to sell the land.
Father Hai had lived for most of his life, so what could he hide from him. Even if he didn't know the details, wouldn't he be able to guess the method to gather such a large sum of money in such a short amount of time?
He scolded his daughter firmly. In the end, he swore that if Min or Min dared to do something disgraceful, he would not step into his home in the future!
His face was still secondary, he loved this family more. Two daughters, one ran away from home, if the other went the wrong way, what would happen to them, how would the old couple over the age of a hundred live?
Father nodded earnestly as he held the documents. "Dad has thought it through. These are just worldly possessions. As long as the family is safe and sound, so what if we start all over again?"
At one point, she even planned to go to Ling Yao without her parents, but looking at her father's deep and loving eyes, she asked herself a question in her heart.
Even if she got a hundred million, would her parents accept it?
She thought that she was good for Hai Clan, but she had thought about how painful it would be for her parents to take the money her daughter sold herself for.
At that moment, Hai Xiaomin suddenly realized that a person has to face a lot of choices in their entire life. Everyone has their own choices, whether it's the same or different, but in reality, there's no distinction between right or wrong.
Father Hai cared more about his family than about money and worldly possessions, and so did she.
Hai Xiao Min looked at her father with tears in her eyes, but nodded with a blissful smile: "Alright, let's start from the beginning!"
It was midnight again. The lights were still on in the windows of the fifth floor of a building in the safe zone.
The night was slightly cold.
Hai Xiao Min hugged her laptop, typed a few words into the document, and yawned sleepily.
It had been quite some time since he had gotten rid of all his debts, and the current life of the Hai family had already stabilized.
After a lifetime of dealing with flowers and plants, Father Hai had an inseparable affection for them. He decided to take a break before setting up a florist's shop, and since Mother Hai had always been a full-time housewife and idled at home, after experiencing this upheaval and wanting to do something for her family, she became actively involved in the planning of her father's florist's shop.
As for her … With a relaxed smile on her lips, Hai Xiaomin continued typing on the computer. She could finally say goodbye to her part-time job and take the time to write her script at home!
Looking at the time, she kept the document, stretched, picked up her water glass, put on her slippers and walked to the window. She took a deep breath of the cold morning air.
The moon was nowhere to be seen in the dark night, but the fragmentary stars were especially bright. The rest of the stars were faintly discernible. It was a rare sight to see in a brightly lit city area all night long.
Living in the outer ring also has its own special benefits, doesn't it?
Along the way from suffering, the situation gradually improved, and Hai Xiaomin discovered that her thoughts were also becoming more optimistic.
Perhaps it was because of the rest of the day, she was always full of energy in the middle of the night. On the other hand, the peace in the middle of the night also helped her to compose the script.
At that moment, her cell phone on the bedside table rang.
Who would call at this late hour?
She walked over strangely. She thought it might be a disturbing call, but she didn't expect it to be.
"Hello, Manager Wu?"
"Little Min, it's so late. Did I disturb your sleep?" On the other side, Manager Wu's voice was also loud and clear.
