In Xu Youning's heart, she felt for the first time how merciless time could be; it seemed to block the continuation of all emotions, creating a chasm between what was called the "past" and the "present."
The jokes shared with him, the playful banter, and the many moments of mutual understanding were all sealed in a small box called memory, a place that was dark and stagnant, merely gathering dust.
Now, she wondered if anyone ever took it out just to have a look.
Director He was very concerned about this trip's mission, constantly reminding everyone to pay attention to detail in their choices, suggesting they visit multiple places to align with the essence of the work while also ensuring safety.
He then inquired about the personnel for the trip, but he replied, "It's just the two of us."
"Huh? Just two? It's only you and Screenwriter Xu? Aren't you bringing an assistant?" The director was surprised by his arrangement. The colleagues at the dining table also quietly paused their actions, stopping mid-bite as they cast sidelong glances at the speaker, observing how calmly he answered the director's questions. His eyes were fixed on the wine glass in his hand; perhaps due to his profession, his hands were particularly beautiful, resembling a piece of art. His long fingers held a tall glass filled with red wine, and the vibrant red reflected light onto his hand. That hand seemed like an exhibit under a spotlight; just by looking at it, one could sense its owner's extraordinary nature.
To him, what he said seemed inconsequential; he showed no surprise at all. He merely glanced at Xu Youning and asked lightly,
"Screenwriter Xu, is that okay?"
How could she respond? She wanted to say it didn't seem appropriate; spending such a long time alone together would make her feel even more awkward. But how could she voice that?
"Chen Gong, aren't you bringing two more team members? Just the two of you? How will you complete the workload? Surveying and recording can be quite troublesome," one team member couldn't help but remind him. He felt that Chen Gong might not have considered everything since it had been a long time since Chen Gong had done these tasks himself; these were usually handled by his subordinates or interns. He typically just assigned project plans and focused on the overall direction.
"It's fine; we can manage. Plus, Screenwriter Xu will help; it's not that complicated," he said nonchalantly, as if it were merely a vacation.
No one at the table spoke again.
After a while, he asked,
"Screenwriter Xu, you still haven't answered me. Can you?"
Everyone turned their gaze towards her again.
"I... I might not be able to help you with anything. I don't understand your professional matters at all," she thought, feeling that her expression was already quite clear.
The comrades at the table also felt that their leader might have some change of thoughts this time, but in the end...
"It's fine, just lend a hand when the time comes." He said it very casually.
An unchangeable decision.
The director spoke up at the right moment, "It's okay, Screenwriter Xu, you just need to choose a good location with Engineer Chen first. We'll deal with the follow-up matters together later; we're not in a hurry."
This was considered settled.
Xu Youning couldn't say much; this was her job, and she would comply with the arrangement.
Upon hearing the decision made, the team felt as if their leader had changed into someone else. Their Engineer Chen had previously seemed like an alien to the opposite sex. It wasn't that no girls approached him; after all, he was a genuine quality single man. Many women from various professions had expressed their feelings for him during work collaborations, but none had received a response—only cold and thorough rejections. His indifferent and serious attitude seemed to automatically create a barrier around him, making him unapproachable.
When had they ever seen such a situation? Their Engineer Chen actively requested to work alone with a girl, and it seemed that the girl wasn't too willing either. This was truly a sight not seen in a hundred years.
Cen Rui, sitting in his seat, did not say a word. He clearly felt that Engineer Chen had a different attitude towards Screenwriter Xu, and it was likely that everyone at the table shared the same thought as him.
