Chapter 35: Three Forks (2)
When the exquisite dishes were served on the table, Cheng Yin's displeasure caused by Yang Fan just now disappeared without a trace.

Lin Ruhui is a southerner, and he is more expert in ordering dishes. If Cheng Yin ordered, he would probably only order the few home-cooked dishes that he created to suit the taste of the locals.

"The honey sauce barbecue pork here is very authentic. I have been here for almost a month. I am not used to the company's work meals. I eat very little every day, and then come here for a full meal when I have time."

Cheng Yin laughed, "Sounds so pitiful."

"Yeah." Lin Ruhui nodded with a smile, "People who work in other places are like this, especially in terms of diet, it takes a while to get used to it, you can't understand it."

The two chatted and laughed, and ate happily. While waiting for dessert, Lin Ruhui suddenly changed the subject and asked Cheng Yin seemingly casually, "Have you been in AST for almost a year?"

"Yeah, it will be a year by the end of the year."

"I've been an assistant for a year, what do you think?"

Cheng Yin's nerves were no longer as loose as before, and she said seriously: "Gorden taught me a lot, but there is still a lot to learn."

Lin Ruhui glanced at her, "I also started as an assistant when I first entered the industry, and after working for half a year, I started to take orders independently."

Cheng Yin's eyes showed envy, "Your background is stronger than mine. I'm not a management major, and I didn't do consulting at first, so..."

"It has little to do with the background." Lin Ruhui interrupted her, "It mainly depends on whether there is a chance."

Cheng Yin twitched the corner of her mouth, wasn't she also been waiting for Gao Xiang to give her a chance.

Lin Ruhui gave her a piece of abalone cake with his serving chopsticks, and suddenly said quickly: "I plan to recruit two junior consultants, I wonder if you are interested in coming to help me?"

Cheng Yin was caught off guard and looked at him in surprise, "You, are you talking about me?"

Lin Ruhui smiled, "There is no one else here."

"I..." It was so unexpected, Cheng Yin's mind suddenly became chaotic, is this how the Arabian Nights play out?
This was an opportunity she had longed for day and night, but when it appeared in front of her so rashly, she immediately flinched a little, as if seeing a poisoned apple in front of Snow White.

It would be absurd to say she wasn't tempted at all.But this happened so suddenly that she wasn't prepared for it at all, and——she found that her guilty conscience was far greater than her surprise.

"You, why do you think of me?"

No, there are so many capable people in the company, so why are you only looking at her?Is it because she helped him pick out his wallet?Then this kindness seems to be a bit heavy, she can't bear it.

Lin Ruhui smiled, as if seeing through her confusion, "Opportunities are precious, and of course I won't give them away casually. There are two essential requirements for me to choose candidates, one is honesty, and the other is intelligence. Needless to say, the former, you at the airport His behavior can fully explain the problem; as for the latter," his smile and speed of speech made Cheng Yin feel warm.

"I looked through your resume. You have been in AST for one year. You have participated in more than [-] large and small projects, and you have made key suggestions in at least three projects. This shows that you are not a step-by-step employee. You have My own ideas, and my desire to succeed. That's why I choose you."

Cheng Yin listened to it verbatim, and let out a long breath. It felt really good to be praised by such a big person, but she still couldn't shake off the uneasiness in her heart.

Lin Ruhui continued: "To tell you the truth, I have actually read the information of each of you carefully. Gordon has trained you all very well, but with your abilities, if you just continue to operate things that you have long been proficient in, you will be overqualified. Gordon also mentioned to you that the purpose of my coming here is no longer to circle around in the original area. I am committed to expanding our business and winning bigger orders, so that the entire department will not shrink more and more. "Pause, and then said earnestly, "You have to understand that in AST, if it is not strong, it may be adjusted, merged or even withdrawn at any time."

It seems that his words should be said to Gao Xiang.However, Cheng Yin has to admit that Lin Ruhui has a wider heart than Gao Xiang, even if the two stand on opposite sides, he has never denied the fact that the other is excellent, and he has not even said a word of frontal attack.

Such Lin Ruhui made Cheng Yin more fond of him.

"I know what Gordon is worried about. If I was in his position, maybe I feel the same as him now. I don't want my employees to jump away, whether it's going outside or transferring jobs within the company, because it takes a lot to train a subordinate. Energy. But," he changed the topic, "talent is the resource of the entire company, and should not be the private property of a certain boss."

Cheng Yin just listened silently and didn't express her opinion. She is not stupid. If she nods her head now, she will virtually confirm her position, but she hasn't figured out where to go.

Lin Ruhui paused for a moment, looked at Cheng Yin's face that looked like a baby but was not naive, swallowed all the truth, and said instead: "Peter really wants to come to my side, I talked to him, yes He is also very satisfied, but it is a pity that Gordon refuses to let go. Peter is the project manager, and he has several threads in his hands. I can understand that Gordon will not let him go. If I want you to come over, Gordon should be embarrassed to refuse me again Well, so I want to hear from you, I think the timing is good for you."

Cheng Yin lowered her head and sipped her tea, then raised her eyes and smiled at him, still entangled in her heart.

Seeing that she only drank tea and didn't speak, Lin Ruhui also fell silent, and the atmosphere in the box changed from the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere at the beginning to a little heavy.

Cheng Yin understands that if she continues to keep silent, the relationship between her and Lin Ruhui will become less awkward from now on. After all, he is providing her with a rare opportunity, not trying to catch up. Give it to yourself.

"What if I... am incompetent?"

Lin Ruhui froze for a moment, then smiled easily, "So you are worried about this."

Of course, Cheng Yin is not only worried about this, but it is easier to ask about it.

"Let me ask you, do you want to make a name for yourself in this business?"

Cheng Yin nodded vigorously.

"Then always remember not to lose your confidence. Even if you really don't understand anything, there is no need to feel guilty. No one can do it in one step. Many people think that I am born to do this job, because most people's eyes I only know how to stare at the success of others, but I can't see the ups and downs and hard work behind the success. Only by maintaining self-confidence forever can people envy you and worship you on the day of real success, instead of thinking that you are simply lucky. Get everything in front of you."

Lin Ruhui's eyes were shining brightly, at that moment, Cheng Yin suddenly felt bewitched - what a beautiful, great future, and what a handsome and courageous boss!

However, something was always wrong, preventing her from accepting his invitation with enthusiasm and generosity.

"I..." She felt guilty about her rapidly cooling enthusiasm, "Can you give me two days to think about it?"

Lin Ruhui stared at her thoughtfully, after a while, shrugged, "OK!"

This day was the biggest turning point for Cheng Yin since she joined AST. Suddenly, she had a choice in front of her, and it was a dream she had been thinking about day and night.

It's just that this opportunity does not come from her boss Gao Xiang, but an olive branch extended to her by his opponent. Should she accept it or not?Once accepted, what will be waiting for her?
Cheng Yin admits that she was not such an indecisive person before. It was in the environment of AST this year that she was subtly influenced and became a standard workplace person who thinks more than does, and takes one step and turns back.

"Mind if I ask you a personal question?" Lin Ruhui suddenly asked again.

"Huh?" Cheng Yin didn't react for a moment.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" When he asked this, his tone was as natural as if he was asking the other party, "Have you eaten?"

A piece of fish fillet in Cheng Yin's mouth slid down into his throat with a "gudong", and the cold taste meandered all the way down.

"No, no." Cheng Yin was embarrassed and embarrassed, "Why did you remember to ask this?"

Lin Ruhui smiled, "I have carefully studied your resume."

His slow tone made Cheng Yin's heart skip a beat.

"There is a question that I have never understood. How did you jump from a manufacturing company to the consulting industry? What did you think at the time?"

Cheng Yin was surprised by his keen insight, she couldn't answer for a while, so she had to ask, "What do you think is the reason?"

Lin Ruhui glanced at her, with a half-smile, "Emotional stimulation or something else."

Seeing Cheng Yin's complexion changed slightly, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I guessed randomly."

Shocked, Cheng Yin sincerely admired his analytical ability, thought for a while and said: "You guessed right, I was lazy before and never thought of being a workaholic, but the person I like...he doesn't like me this type."

"So you are working hard?" Lin Ruhui didn't startle, but kept a calm smile on his face, "He is also in this circle?"

"...No." Cheng Yin held back for a while, but finally didn't have the courage to admit it, "But it's very...very similar to the consulting industry."

Lin Ruhui smiled and didn't press the question.

"Do you think this change is worth it?"

"I can't say it." Cheng Yin pouted, "Although life was very comfortable before, it was quite boring. Thinking about living like this for decades, it would be terrible. But if I really want to say that now How nice, I didn't feel it, I can only say that I am used to being busy now, once I stop, I will feel empty... So, relatively speaking, I still like the way I am now."

Lin Ruhui nodded thoughtfully.

"What about you? Do you have a girlfriend?" Cheng Yin was not willing to be in the position of being interrogated, and was also quite interested in his private life.

"I had it in college, but we broke up after work." He said flatly, "She is from the north, and she is not used to living in the south, so she insisted on going back, so we broke up like this."

"Have you never had it since then?" Cheng Yin was a little bit in disbelief.

"Later? Then I worked hard!" He rubbed a smile into his eyes and looked directly at Cheng Yin, "This kind of thing has to be done by fate, you can't force it."

The way he looked at her became soft for an instant, and Cheng Yin turned her face away in a panic, feeling that there were several villains dancing in her heart.

"Fanny..."

"Ok?"

"At the corner of your mouth," he pointed to the same part of himself, "there's a little debris."

Cheng Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took a wet towel to wipe it again. When her sleeve brushed across the table, she dropped her chopsticks, and she was in a mess.

"Are you nervous?" He called the waiter for her to change a new pair of chopsticks, smiling and admiring Cheng Yin's flushed cheeks.

Cheng Yin calmed down with great difficulty, thinking about her distracted thoughts just now, she was funny and ashamed, and muttered: "Who made you suddenly bring up such a sensitive topic to talk about?"

"You still like him?"

Cheng Yin choked for a moment, and then answered instinctively after a moment of pause, "Of course not, it's just... just thinking about it sometimes makes me feel a little sad."

This time Lin Ruhui was also silent, his dark eyes looked extraordinarily deep and quiet under the flickering lights.

It was not too late for a meal.Before parting, Lin Ruhui repeated the old saying, and gave Cheng Yin a meaningful sentence.

"Even if you are a Maxima, you have to understand a truth. Bole doesn't come often. If you miss some opportunities, you miss them."

Cheng Yin almost suffered another night of insomnia.

A pie has really fallen from the sky, will she eat it or not?
For the next two days, Cheng Yin had a very difficult time. For such a secret multiple-choice question, she didn't even have anyone in the company to discuss with, so she could only turn to Xie Mei.

Xie Mei heard that she could be upgraded, so she encouraged her without saying a word, "Such a good opportunity, of course I have to go!"

"Then how do I tell the boss?"

"Tell me the truth!" Xie Mei was domineering, "You have worked hard under him for a year, and you haven't caught a fart. Now that you have such a good opportunity, you are still hesitating. You are not stupid!"

"Then tell me," Cheng Yin continued to worry, "Why did Lin Ruhui give me the chance? No matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out."

"Why do you think so much! After you get transferred, work hard for a few years, and when you have accumulated experience, you can go where you want to go. Besides, if you make such a change, you can just piss off your current stingy boss, isn't it? Only he can have food there."

Cheng Yin felt that she couldn't do it.

Xie Mei persuaded her for a long time, but Cheng Yin still couldn't make up her mind.

"Hey, what's your blood type?" Xie Mei asked her.

"Type AB, what's wrong?"

Xie Mei flipped through the blood type book she had recently become obsessed with, and read a paragraph to her, "People with AB blood type have the advantages of keen thinking, careful observation, enthusiasm, seriousness, compassion, self-sacrifice, and good introspection. The disadvantages are... …

Irritable, capricious, melancholy, whiny, indecisive, indecisive. "

After reading, he threw the book away, "No wonder, I'm wasting my words, you can continue to struggle."

Cheng Yin had a headache, so she simply put the problem aside, watched American TV dramas, and soon immersed herself in the kind of exciting and interesting plots that didn't have much nutrition.

The phone rang on the bed cabinet, she turned down the volume, kept her eyes on the screen, and answered it without looking at it, thinking that it was Xie Mei who suddenly remembered that there was something missing in the training.

"Cheng Yin, it's me, Yang Fan."

Cheng Yin had no choice but to turn off the video completely, as if she had formed a habit, she dared not take Yang Fan's call lightly.

When he called at this time, Cheng Yin could almost guess exactly why.

The encounter at the entrance of the Cantonese restaurant, Yang Fan must not let go of the opportunity to "re-educate" her.

"Brother Yang Fan, what do you need from me?" Cheng Yin asked without much effort.

"It's nothing, I... just want to ask you..."

Cheng Yin was surprised to find that Yang Fan was hesitant to talk sometimes. Could it be that he couldn't bear to bombard him?
Cheng Yin was a little annoyed—although the annoyance was mainly caused by the unlucky multiple-choice question—she planned to finish the sentence for him, she was already entangled enough, and she didn't want others to be entangled.

"You want to ask me why I'm with Lin Ruhui?"

"..."

"He asked me a favor that day, and at the end of the day, it was just in time for dinner, so he invited me to dinner, it was as simple as that!"

After Cheng Yin finished speaking, her heart suddenly moved. If she asked Yang Fan for advice, maybe he could give herself some useful suggestions.

"By the way, Brother Yang Fan..."

"Cheng Yin, I..."

The two spoke almost at the same time, stunned by the chaotic voice, Yang Fan said: "You speak first."

When Cheng Yin was interrupted like this, she immediately calmed down. In fact, there is no need to ask. With Yang Fan's current position, of course he would not approve of her jumping away.

"Cough, I'm fine, just tell me." She smiled awkwardly.

"Me, me too...it's nothing." Yang Fan seemed more embarrassed than her, "Is your leg hurting better?"

"Well, good morning." Cheng Yin replied, compared with the job transfer, leg pain is nothing, if he didn't ask, she wouldn't remember it.

A phone call ended inexplicably.

When Cheng Yin returned the mobile phone to the bed cabinet, she couldn't understand what Yang Fan wanted to say to herself!

But she felt relieved for a while, after all he didn't reprimand her in the tone of his elder brother, and it seemed that at the Cantonese restaurant that night, her worries were unnecessary-Yang Fan was not angry with herself.

On the other end of the phone, it was Yang Fan who also dropped his cell phone, but he didn't feel relaxed at all. He actually wanted to confess his love to Cheng Yin, or ask her out to confess his love, but at a critical moment, he suddenly lost the ability to speak out. courage.

He is annoyed at his hesitation and timidity. Could it be that he is still so worried about his past failures that he dare not move forward even if he understands his own heart?
There was another chance to go out with Liu Zongwei to run errands, and to eat at the restaurant at noon. Cheng Yin endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back. After sneaking glances at him for a few times, she pretended to ask casually, "If there is a chance now? , Oh, I mean, in the company, if there is a chance for you to transfer over, and you can be promoted by one or two levels, would you...would you like it?"

After finishing speaking, he stared nervously at Liu Zongwei.

"Is there such a good thing?" Liu Zongwei unconsciously browsed the news while eating.

"I mean if." Cheng Yin emphasized.

"It depends on what you are doing. If you jump over and pick up shit, then who would want to!" He glanced at Cheng Yin, and suddenly smiled, "So, you want to change jobs? That's right, you're going to be full soon. It's been a year, it's time to think about it."

Cheng Yin took advantage of the situation and asked, "Where do you think is more appropriate for me to go if I change jobs?"

"You!" Liu Zongwei thought for a while, "You have to turn into a consultant first. Although there is only one or two levels of difference between an assistant and a consultant, there is an essential difference!"

Cheng Yin's heart was pounding.

"Go wherever there is an opportunity!" Liu Zongwei turned his gaze back to the Ipad, but muttered again, "Oh, don't think about the opportunity with Jimmy."

Cheng Yin's heart sank just now, "Why?"

"Gordon must have a problem with you. In the future, you will be in the same department again. How embarrassing it is! Unless you really enjoy the fun of fighting!"

Cheng Yin took a deep breath and let it out slowly. What Liu Zongwei said was exactly what she had been worried about.

That's right, she really wants to be promoted and to be famous, but she doesn't want to be cannon fodder, even if she doesn't necessarily want to be cannon fodder, she suspects that she doesn't have the strength to face Gao Xiang's cold expression every day.

In addition, she has another level of worry. Her ability is not as strong as Lin Ruhui thinks. In the future, she can use "diligence to make up for weakness" to encourage herself, but from Lin Ruhui's standpoint, the greater the expectation , The deeper the disappointment, the sooner or later it will be a matter of getting through.

After much deliberation, Cheng Yin felt that no matter what she did, peace of mind was the most important thing.

After a long sigh, the entanglement in her heart finally settled down.

Once she made up her mind, Cheng Yin didn't want to procrastinate any longer. When she was thinking about whether to call Lin Ruhui or go to the office to find him, she unexpectedly ran into him in the tea room in the afternoon.There was no one around, Cheng Yin immediately told him her decision.

Lin Ruhui seemed to have expected this result, and did not show surprise. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Okay, I respect your choice."

After hearing his regretful and indifferent reply, Cheng Yin immediately felt very guilty, with a little bit of regret mixed in, she let her give up such a rare opportunity.

"Fanny," Lin Ruhui's voice was still unhurried, "If you change your mind, remember to come to me, I will reserve a seat for you."

He turned around and walked away quietly, leaving Cheng Yin standing there in a daze, completely overwhelmed by the emotion.
