About This Novel
Red maple and tie When Su Jin's fingers crossed the last line of report data, the sky outside the window was already as dark as thick ink. On her third weekend of overtime work, she rubbed her sore temples and looked at herself reflected on the computer screen-a thirty-five-year-old marketing director with delicate makeup that could not hide fine lines and fatigue. The phone vibrated, and my mother sent a message: "Are you coming back for dinner on the weekend? Your Aunt Wang introduced a nice man, forty-two years old, divorced with no children, executive of a listed company..." Su Jin "What about you?" Lu Yuan asked once during an inspection at the Botanical Garden, "I always see you working, what else is there in your life?" Su Jin was silent for a while, looking at the lush plants in the greenhouse: "Work is almost everything. I used to think that I could stop when I climbed to a certain position, but I found that I couldn't stop." "Like these vines," Lu Yuan pointed to the climbing plants, "they keep growing upward, but they forget to look at the surrounding scenery." Su Jin smiled: "You can always say things so... Full of metaphors." The project is going well, but everything is never easy in the workplace. A rival company launched an advertisement with a similar concept in advance, and the general manager put pressure on Su Jin: "We must be faster! Louder!" Under pressure, Su Jin resumed her pattern of working overtime continuously, and her communication with Lu Yuan was limited to work emails. Late one night, as she was revising her plan in the office, Lu Yuan sent a message: "The reddest time for maple leaves is almost over, and this weekend may be the last chance." Su Jin
