I answered Mi Cai's phone number and asked with some confusion: "Why did you call me suddenly?"

"I suddenly remembered: Once your perfect travel plan package is released on Easy Travel, it will definitely lead to a surge in passenger flow. With the inn's limited customer capacity, how can we solve this difficult problem?"

I smiled and said, "We are really in tune with each other! I am also thinking about this issue."

"Then have you found a solution?"

"I don't have any here yet. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Mi Cai said to me a little sorry, "I don't have a good idea either... but I really hope I can help."

"I'm very happy if you can think about this. I will solve this problem as soon as possible. Just try to hone your ability to adapt."

"Yeah..." After a little silence, Mi Cai said again: "Zhaoyang, can you consider integrating the resources of the surrounding inns and letting them join this plan together?"

"This is a bad decision. I am not willing to share such resources with similar competitors. Inns currently really need to earn some money through this plan. If the customer sources are diverted, this goal will not be achieved."

Mi Cai smiled and said, "If you are unwilling to share resources with your competitors of the same type, this time it will really test your ability to adapt, but I have confidence in you as always." After thinking about it, he added, "Just have confidence in your career."

"Then what do you have no confidence in?"

"Uh..... Have you met with other girls today?"

Of course I knew that she was using this question to answer my question from the side, and then joked with her, saying, "Is it considered that girls took the initiative to chat with me?"

Mi Cai's tone was a little unhappy: "Really?"

"My light has always been very flashing!"

"I've hung up the phone..."

"Not so!"

"As for you, I know that you never restrain yourself, so you will never refuse anyone who comes to chat with you."

I finally put away my joking and said seriously: "Actually, you are willing to be jealous of me. I am really happy that you at least prove that you care about me."

"Then can you do it to me in one's own end?"

"I think it's a very clear thing for a person to go all the way, and it's something worth protecting for a lifetime."

Mi Cai was silent...I thought it was because of her overly subtle statements that led to her silence, so I cheered myself up in my heart and tried to express my determination to her in the most straightforward way. But she suddenly asked me: "Zhaoyang, do you love me?"

I was silent for a moment. Even though I had fallen into love with Mi Cai, I had never taken out the word "love" to discuss it, but this was definitely not because I was confident enough, but because I was not confident.

I seemed to be able to feel the rapid breathing of Mi Cai while waiting. Finally, I stopped hesitating and said to her: "Love... I loved it a long time ago!"

"But why have you never said it to me?"

I fell into silence again, and the emotions that had been bothering me for a long time also rolled in my heart. It took me a long time to say to her: "Before answering your doubts, I want to ask you a question first."

"You ask."

"As many men pursue you since childhood?"

Mi Cai had almost no memories and replied: "Seldom, very little."

I was not surprised at all with this answer, because it can be seen from the last time Weiran confessed to her that if she was used to a man's confession, she would not have run away in a hurry.

I smiled helplessly and said, "Because it takes great courage to pursue you, this kind of real tall, rich and handsome man dares to speak. And he confessed to you four years later when he felt the threat from me... So you should understand why, a man with nothing, can never relieve the heat in his heart when facing you, right?"

"I don't care about this. As long as the person I love and love me, it will be happy for me!"

“…Do you love me too?”

"If I don't love you, I will not be looking for you all over the world after you leave without saying goodbye!"

"But where do you love me?"

Mi Cai was silent for a long time before saying to me: "I can't say it..."

I smiled and said, "It's strange that you want to say it. Maybe... you are just a kind of dependence on me."

“Isn’t dependence love?”

"I don't know, at least I've never had love for her because of who I rely on."

Mi Cai on the other end of the phone fell into silence for the third time, but my words came from the heart. I clearly understood that I was dependent on Li Xiaoyun or Le Yao, but I never had love because of it. My heart was still obsessed with Jian Wei and Mi Cai now.

I didn't want her silence to continue, so I changed the subject and said to her: "Remember you promised me that when you come back from the United States, you will wear a beautiful white dress?"

"Um."

"Also remember to hang a bright key on your chest to truly open your heart for me."

......

I ended my call with Mi Cai. It was already late at night, but I was not sleepy. I lay on my back on the office chair. After smoking a cigarette for refreshing my mind, I fell into the busy work again. But I was not as focused as before, because I always thought about the day when Mi Cai came back from the United States, and also about her appearance in a white dress. I even more thought about her being able to open her heart with the key and give me a reason to love besides dependence.

......

I stayed up until midnight and didn't get up the next day. After a hurry to have lunch, I took the list written by Afeng to screen those businesses who were interested in participating in the "Perfect Travel Plan". This took me an entire afternoon, and it was not until the evening that I had completed half of the progress.

At night, I quietly descended in Xitang. I dragged my tired body into the light and shadow of the street lights. Then I received a call from the marketing manager of "Easy Travel Network". He confirmed with me when the "Perfect Travel Plan" will be posted on the website.

I told him that it would take some time, and he reminded me friendly: Don’t miss the upcoming peak tourist season, so after I finished the call, I fell into a dilemma again.

When I returned to the inn, the boy was still lying on the desk and napping. After I woke him up, he looked at me for a long time, and then complained to me: "Brother Yang, the inn's business is not good today. When will your perfect travel plan be announced to the public?"

I patted his shoulder and explained: "This hard-earned advertising resource is very scarce and precious, so we must develop practical solutions to maximize the effectiveness of advertising resources."

The boy nodded and asked me again: "Brother Yang, have you encountered any problems?"

"Well, it's still a big problem."

"You can ask the woman in red for advice. I always think she has great insights in doing business. Maybe she can help you solve this problem?"

This is a problem that even Mi Cai feels helpless, so I don’t expect the woman in red to give her a practical suggestion, and then said to the boy perfunctorily: “Let’s talk about it when she comes to our inn next time.”
