　　In this world, life is full of unpleasant things. Compared with loving someone, there must be something else worth her effort.

　　Having no idea that how long she has cried silently, Si Wan wears herself out. Looking at the ceiling, her eyes feel so sore that she couldn't keep them open anymore, so she slowly falls asleep.

　　But even in dream Si Wan can't feel at ease. The fact that Feng Ling lies on the bed limply when she is in her most beautiful age has become a big nightmare that Si Wan can't get rid of throughout her whole life.

　　Because of insufficient sleep, in the morning when Si Wan stands in front of the mirror, with eyes red and swollen, she looks quite different from that capable and experienced director in the company before. However, life still goes on.

　　Si Wan, it will be over soon. When the day comes, you can do whatever you like.

　　Thinking of the end, her heart feels like being slashed by thousands of knives, so painfully that she even couldn't take a breath. Can she really give up? The answer "yes" or "no won't be decided by her, either.

　　Gong Siming only hates her and never loves her, so staying here will just lead to his deeper hate.

　　Si Wan shakes her head to drive out these agonies. Waking herself up with cold water, Si Wan then uses make-up to cover herself with a delicate mask.

　　When walking outside, she has to be strong and invulnerable as n.o.body will show their sympathy. Making yourself stronger is necessary.

　　After entering the company, Si Wan sees piles of doc.u.ments stacked on her desk. It's good to be busy as it can help her forget many other things.

　　The first doc.u.ment is the contract with Manager Zhang last time. As Si Wan was drunk and brought back by Gong Siming unexpectedly that night, and also due to the following family dinner, this contract is consequently postponed.

　　Because of getting drunk, Si Wan didn't remember what happened that night, and Manager Zhang has not contacted her since then. She has put a lot of effort into the corporation, so it definitely cannot be abandoned halfway.

　　"Manager Zhang, long time no see. Last time we still didn't work out a perfect solution to our joint project, I hope that we can negotiate it again when you are available."

　　Si Wan gives Manager Zhang a call without knowing that when picking up her phone, Manager Zhang still feels aching over the body part beaten by Gong Siming.

　　"Director Si, we're not worthy. We are just a little company, not daring to embrace such a strong partner like the Gongs.h.i.+ Group. Humph…" Manager Zhang gives an ironic snort as he still remembers the humiliation of that night.

　　"Why does Manager Zhang think that way? Manager Zhang, we pursue win-win corporation, don't we?" Manager Zhang used to be very polite to Si Wan, but now he's like another man totally.
