·Su Nian, 28 years old, a tax planner, professional and restrained to the point of being cold. She led a team to Yanzhou Group, a leader in new energy. The leader, Lu Yanzhou, was 32 years old and the most un-bossy boss in the Beijing circle: he did not hang out in the drinking industry and lost contact on weekends to go to the Wetland Park to shoot birds.
·On the first day of tax inspection, Su Nian used three audit cases to shut up the financial director on the spot. Lu Yanzhou remained silent throughout the entire meeting.
·After two weeks of staying there, we only nodded when we passed each other in the corridor, and we waited side by side for coffee in the tea room without talking to each other. Her best friend asserted, "He is definitely interested in you," but Su Nian denied it three times. Late at night, she scrolled through his WeChat Moments for the third time - no selfies, just the sky and birds.
·At the end of the residency, Lu Yanzhou chased him to the underground parking lot. He held it in for a long time and only said six words: "This project is very solid." Su Nian smiled gracefully, turned around and threw the tax registration textbook on the table - passed the exam. No matter how long it takes.
·Six months later, it's half past four in late autumn in the Wetland Park. Su Nian held the report card of passing all five subjects and said softly to the heron on the water: "I passed the exam." The footsteps behind her stopped on her right, just a punch away, like another heron landing.
·Lu Yanzhou's confession is not like Boss Ba's or like an engineer: "I want to move forward with you. Your strategic advisor, my battery material. The direction is the same."
·Su Nian looked at the red tips of his ears - this person couldn't say "I love you", but remembered every word she casually mentioned half a year ago, and called the plan she made "the smartest solution". The sunset dyed the bird watching pavilion golden, and she spoke softly——
"Your words are the most Lu Yanzhou-like confession I have ever heard."
