"Yunfei, please tell me, what does it mean to be stylish?" Xu Maimai asked.

"Style is to interpret a set of unique tunes according to your own format." Mo Yunfei took a sip of the cold coffee, "Mai, how did you get such a high score back then?"

Xu Xiaomai thought for a while and replied, "Probably because I was different from the people around her at the time, fresh. Now she doesn't feel fresh anymore. Today's foreign companies are beauties and heroes at the end."

"Really?" Mo Yunfei was not surprised, she just wanted Xu Xiaomai to continue.

"Yes. The domestic expansion of many foreign companies has basically stopped, and some have even begun to shrink. I have a feeling that the intention of the headquarters to send Sophie to China is probably to reassess the status of the Chinese market and help the headquarters reposition their business in China. strategic position." Xu Xiaomai smiled helplessly, "If my guess is correct, Sophie is my enemy from any angle."

"Is there any basis for your guess? It's not just a feeling, is it?"

"Of course there is a basis. From the data and reports that Sophie asked me, my analysis is like this. And my general manager is also very wary of Sophie. He must have his sources of information."

"Why do you think the China Ministry's assessment must be negative?"

"I'm the one who handles the data. I don't know what the headquarters thinks about the market, profits and risks, but I don't think it's optimistic."

Mo Yunfei was silent, she was not familiar with foreign companies, she guessed where Xu Maimai's hostility towards Sophie came from, but she didn't figure it out.Now she understood that it was Xu Xiaomai's instinctive vigilance.

"How much will this affect your career prospects?"

"Under the overturned nest, will there be any eggs? Once the strategic position of the China Department declines, the first thing is to stop additional investment, then shrink the business, cut costs, and finally must withdraw and lay off employees."

"Even if you are downsized, you may not be laid off. Sophie admires you very much. Even if you guessed right, she is not targeting you. In this state, I suggest you not to confront Sophie." Mo Yunfei didn't want to Xu Xiaomai lost her job. It is the most important thing for a single woman to have a good job, from which she can gain confidence, enjoy a comfortable life, and maintain her independence and dignity.

"Why do you think that I must be her enemy instead of the opposite? I still have a motive to curry favor with her, and I may benefit from curry favor. It doesn't make any sense for her to be friendly to me." Xu Xiaomai leaned back in the chair Back, arms folded across chest. "She just needs to go with the flow, and it won't hinder her reputation."

"Let's wait and see. Mai, take care of your work first." Mo Yunfei couldn't come up with any better suggestions.Secretly, she firmly believes that Sophie is a very upright person, but now Xu Xiaomai won't listen to anything she says.

"Yunfei, we all dragged you to talk about ourselves. I have never cared about your story. Tell me about your love story. I always feel that you are not as calm as you appear on the surface. Light, you have your troubles too." Seeing that there was still time before leaving the airport, Xu Maimai was going to sit for a while.

"My trouble?" Mo Yunfei was quite surprised, why did Xu Xiaomai say that?Mo Yunfei was a person who was ashamed to show his emotions, not out of hypocrisy, but because he was afraid of being ridiculed. "Can I tell you my bloody story to make you laugh? I don't do such stupid things."

"I sometimes think, Yunfei, you just hide it deeply. You also have your own troubles and problems. Don't you need to talk about it? We are friends now. If my story is not in your mind If it’s a joke, then I won’t take your story as a joke. Just listen to it, I’m interested in other people’s emotional stories now. Maybe something can give me some inspiration.”

This was the first time for Mo Yunfei to tell her own story to others. She talked about her lover with some embarrassment. She observed Xu Xiaomai's reaction, and everything was better than she expected.Xu Xiaomai didn't ridicule, nor did she talk about morality. She discussed the relationship between husband and wife and lovers just like discussing her own story.

At the end of the discussion, Xu Xiaomai looked at the time and stood up. "In short, you think neither of them is good enough, and you don't want either."

"Yeah, maybe they're not bad, but they're really not good enough. They don't seem to add much fun to life. Then try to live without them. Free life, I haven't experienced it yet. People This life is always a taste of freedom."
