After standing on the balcony and smoking a cigarette, I didn't go back to my room. I wanted to see the sky before dawn, smell the fragrance of the soil when it sprouts, forget about the nearness, and focus on the ends of the world beyond my mind. Maybe my mentality will calm down first before I can stand behind Mi Cai and give her the most solid support.

After taking a deep breath, I returned to the room, put Micai's cell phone on the cabinet, picked up my cell phone again, thought for a while, then stood on the balcony again and called Fang Yuan's phone number.

After waiting for a while, Fang Yuan answered the phone and asked me unexpectedly: "Why did you call me so early?"

I heard the sound of chopsticks stirring eggs on his side, put aside his doubts, smiled and asked him, "I got up quite early, are you making breakfast for Yan Yan?"

Fang Yuan also smiled and said, "Well... she is pregnant and is eating outside, so I'm not relieved. I must take care of breakfast, and I'm used to getting up early."

I sighed: "It seems that it is not easy to be a prospective father!"

"Haha... say it quickly, what's wrong with calling me so early."

"I got off work at noon today. Let's take some time. I want to talk to you."

Fang Yuan pondered, it seemed that he couldn't spare time...

I said again, "Be sure to take time, okay?"

Fang Yuan has always been the most delicate central thinking among our brothers. My tone may have made him understand why I was looking for him, so I didn’t hear the sound of stirring eggs on the phone anymore. He stopped the movement in his hand. After a long time, he finally replied: “See you in the old place after 12 o’clock.”

......

I finished the call with Fang Yuan. It was 7:30 in the morning. I left the hotel and went to the most famous morning tea shop in Yangzhou. I bought two breakfasts and prepared to eat with Micai on the road later.

After buying breakfast, I took a rickshaw to the hotel. Along the way, I realized the slow pace of Yangzhou City: pigeons were leisurely foraging in the square, the elderly sat in teahouses to drink tea and chat, and the children who went to school sat in their parents' cars, either looking around, or playing with the gadgets in their hands. Because of the open-mindedness of this city, I seemed to see no trouble in them. I was infected and didn't even want to return to Suzhou to face the troubles that had to be solved. I just stayed here for a while, but this was just an unrealistic expectation after all.

When I returned to the hotel, I gently opened the door and looked at the bed. Mi Cai seemed to have not gotten up yet, but when I got closer, I realized that she looked at the ceiling with a blank expression. Even if I came back, I didn't say a word.

I put the breakfast on the coffee table, then sat down beside the bed, forced a smile and asked, "Why don't you get up when you wake up?"

She didn't say anything, so I was silent, knowing in my heart that she had read the email that announced that Zhuomei's listing failed, but I would rather watch her vent with tears, than want her to be so confused in silence.

After silence between each other for a long time, I finally smiled and said to her: "Actually, I understand your current mood, but when I think about it, the ups and downs of life are just the most common phenomenon. After living in this world for so long, we should have the ability to bear it. I have always believed that you have a stronger spiritual world than ordinary people, so be stronger, okay?"

She finally spoke: "I'm fine."

I was still worried and searched for cases of failed listing in my mind to better comfort her. When I remembered, I hurriedly said, "Didn't South Beauty fail to go public? People are also stubbornly looking for a way out. Zhang Lan even said that the possibility of re-entering the capital market in the future is not ruled out. She is also a woman. How strong she is! She is simply an iron lady in the industry!"

Mi Cai finally looked at me and said for a long time: "South Beauty has started selling bentoes, don't you know?"

"Uh... this is a manifestation of the desire to change when you are poor. Instead, I think this is a group full of resilience. The meaning of selling bento can be compared with the ancient times when sleeping on firewood and tasting gall!!"

Mi Cai smiled: "You don't need to give examples to comfort me. I'm just thinking about how to go next. In fact, since the crisis of Weiran Blueprint Group, I knew that the hope of Zhuomei's listing was extremely slim."

Her answer finally made me feel relieved and said, "Do you want me to extend the room for another day and let you lie in bed and think slowly? ... I have a strong premonition that if you don't wash your face, don't brush your teeth, and lie on the bed and think about the group's way out, it will become a legendary story in the business world in the future!!"

Mi Cai was so damaged by me that she turned her back and ignored me...

Then I let out a long sigh, no longer disturbed her with words, went to the bathroom to squeeze out toothpaste, and packed up our luggage. I believe that her resilience will definitely help her overcome this difficulty.

......

At noon, Mi Cai and I returned to Suzhou. She went directly to the company to solve the chain reaction caused by Zhuomei's failure to go public. Before I met Fang Yuan, I called Yan Yan and we met in a very quiet coffee shop.

In fact, I haven't seen Yan Yan for a while. At this time, she has put on maternity clothes. The good figure that once made all women jealous has disappeared. This provides me with teasing materials. After she sat down, she said, "Sister Yan Yan, your buttocks have expanded very well recently! At first glance, it seems that they have been occupied below the waist, and they are extremely huge... I don't know if this coffee shop has a seat for pregnant women!"

Yan Yan gave me a blank look and said, "I really want to tear your mouth apart!"

"Don't spread your irritable temper to the baby in your belly... aren't you afraid of giving birth to a baby in the future? Anyone who catches you want to spray a few flames!! You don't dare to hug him without a fire extinguisher on your body!"

Yan Yan laughed out loud when I said "haha", then instinctively looked at her belly with a motherly gaze, gently stroked her, and said expectantly: "I really want to see this little guy earlier... I don't know if it's like me or Fang Yuan."

"Like anyone, they are all your flesh and blood!"

Yan Yan nodded and said seriously: "Zhaoyang, you must not be so kind to ask me out and pass the time with me. Tell me, if you need any help from my sister, I will definitely do it for you."

After a little silence, I asked her: "Will Fang Yuan talk to you about work matters?...such as his recent career plan, or something inside Zhuomei."
