The ups and downs of the urban jungle

The bar is still filled with ambiguity and warmth. Yang Hui and Lin Bing sat quietly, as if they were truly savoring the nectar in their cups. Lin Bing kept playing with the wine glass in his hand, with a touch of sadness and frustration in his eyes. Yang Hui drank a lot without knowing it, and he also gained some courage.

"Xiaolin! I am really sincere today - I want to have a good communication with you"

"I know! I feel very honored too!"

"Then let’s be more honest!"

"Okay! Just go ahead and communicate however you want, I don't mind!"

"Well! I really hope you - don't mention resigning again. I think as long as you insist on following me, I will never treat you badly"

"All right! Let me tell you the truth, I don't necessarily want to leave, I am determined to leave. I just feel that--I'm here with you now--it's completely dispensable and not of much value."

"Do you think I don't pay enough attention to you?"

"Not just attention! And trust!"

"trust?"

"yes! I feel that I am your assistant, but in front of you, I am not as good as any other girl around you. You trust no one more than me"

"sorry! I usually don’t pay much attention to what you said! I just think you are different from them"

"yes! It's different! They are all your Xiaomi! Confidant! Everyone can have close contact with you without any scruples or restraints, but I am not. Therefore, I can only always do my job honestly and well. You only need to take that meager salary and spend it as you like. If I keep doing this, what hope do you think I have, what hope do I have?"

"no no! Lin Bing! This is your misunderstanding! You are smart and capable. You have always been the best in my mind. You are the most promising and ambitious one!"

"snort! This is the most deceiving thing! Who believes it?"

"I mean it!"

"Seriously? All I know is that pie will never fall from the sky on its own. There is no love without reason in this world, and there is no hatred without reason. If you sow melons, you will reap what you sow. If you don’t pay, you will get nothing in return. These are the eternal truths"

"yes! Everything you said is correct!"

"good! Then tell me now, who do you trust more about me than the girls around you? Am I any worse looking than them? Not as good as them? I'm still very confident about this. However, as your assistant, I can never be compared with them by your side."

"No! Lin Bing! you are wrong. For me, it’s not that you can’t compare with them, but that they can never compare with you!"

"Isn't this different?"

"Of course it’s different! Lin Bing! I just don't understand why you compare yourself to those girls. You have been in the company for so long, when have I ever treated you like one of them? When have you ever behaved in a frivolous way? This is how I value you and cherish you! Don’t you—don’t you even understand this?"

"I just don't understand! I'm stupid! I'm an idiot! I don’t need you to value me and cherish me so much! I no longer want to think of myself as an alternative. I just want to be like everyone else, find my true self and experience real life. You said you value me more and cherish me. Then take practical actions so that I can truly feel and touch"

"well! Lin Bing! It's me - OK! It was me before——"
