When Leah agreed to work on a project in Hong Kong with her best friend, she had a clear plan.
As long as the budget doesn't be cut, the demands don't go crazy, and the boss doesn't pretend, life can still be saved.
Until her first day on the job, when the door of the conference room opened, she saw the face on the main seat.
Zhou Yiheng.
It was Bking's ex-boyfriend who she had the most passionate talk with during college, had the most heated disagreements, blocked and pulled back, scolded and kissed. Now she is sitting at Party A's table like a dog, and she has suddenly become one of the investors of her project.
The man leaned back in his chair, his suit straight, and Bafeng looked at her calmly, his tone was so calm that he couldn't stand it.
"We are all adults, and we can distinguish between public and private affairs. Is that okay?"
No one knows that they didn't love seriously back then.

She writes the plan, he criticizes.
She talks about avant-garde art, and he talks about the sinking market.
"This is work, please maintain social distance," she said.
He hooked his long legs around the legs of her chair, dragged her closer, and said with a lazy smile: "I'm already polite enough. It's your plan that's making things difficult now, not you."
The entire project team felt that sooner or later these two would have a serious fight.
Sure enough, after a closed-door meeting, Leah left the scene with a cold face, and the door slammed.
The assistant cautiously went in to pick up the documents, and at a glance he saw the usually flamboyant and difficult Mr. Zhou, with a bright red slap mark on the side of his face.
The assistant's voice was shaking: "Zhou, Mr. Zhou... Do you want to call a doctor?"
Zhou Yiheng leaned against the edge of the table, pressed the tip of his tongue against his bruised cheek, and actually smiled.
"What's your name, doctor?" He loosened his tie and laughed at himself, "I thought she was bad at budgeting, so I wanted to kiss her for inspiration."

After college separated, Zhou Yiheng wrote nonsense in a couple app that no one had shared for a long time.
"The project was negotiated today. At the celebration party, someone asked me why I didn't drink. I said I stopped. In fact, I was afraid that I would call you if I drank too much."
"I saw someone wearing a fluorescent orange sweatshirt today. He looked very ugly like you."
"My mother asked you again."
"If I had it to do over again and I would have cared less about you, would you have refused to leave?"
"I'm coming to Hong Kong. It's really a job. Really."
Then one night, there was only one dim light left. Leah sat on the edge of the bed and buttoned her buttons, and he looked at her dazzlingly white shoulders from behind.
"Step on me and go up to fulfill your ambition."
He said in a low voice, "... As long as you look at me, you can give me a way to go."
Purpose: love and freedom
