Mint was lying on a strange big bed in a strange room, tossing and turning.
It was strange. She had been working hard all day. After working hard for more than ten hours, she was almost exhausted. She even fell asleep in the car, so she should have fallen asleep as soon as she lay down.
It was only in the past, but why was she still not sleepy even though she had already counted nearly a thousand sheep in her mind?
My body was exhausted, but my mind was so clear.
The room was so quiet, so quiet that she seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat.
However, the heartbeat can be heard, but the mood cannot be clearly understood.
She had been busy all day, and now she finally had a chance to summarize what happened tonight, from when he appeared at the door of the unit and said he would take her to a restaurant for dinner, to when she fell asleep in the car and woke up
After arriving, he took her home and helped her take care of everything... His series of actions completely confused her.
He is no longer like he was before, deliberately looking for trouble or deliberately making things difficult for her, but... he doesn't have to take care of her like this, right?
Her mood is very complicated.
How should I put it, it seems a little scary, but it’s not just scary.
It's not so much fear as it is apprehension or nervousness.
But she really couldn't understand why she was so nervous.
His attitude towards her... well, how should I put it, doesn't seem normal, but it doesn't seem too weird.
In fact, he didn't do anything. He just took care of her for a little while, eating and so on. Isn't it a normal thing? Even if he is an ordinary colleague, that's fine!
He didn't say he wanted to chase her again or be with her again.
Yes, I didn’t say it, and even if I did, she would definitely refuse!
So, she doesn’t really need to worry about anything, right?
He might just see her as pitiful, and then help her out of consideration for the couple's relationship.
She is lucky that he doesn't hate her.
This is the best thing for him and her.
Breaking up is often said to be accidental, but one day it is inevitable.
Once upon a time, they were both so persistent, thinking that only they could give each other happiness, but in fact it was not like that.
At that time, they were all too young, too strong, and too confident.
In fact, the love you see with your eyes is only superficial. Real love is listened to with your heart.
When I am alone at night, I am very quiet and a little melancholy. When I am alone, I am very free, but when I am free I am a little lonely. When I think of him, I am very happy, but when I am happy I am a little sad.
As he thought about it, Mint suddenly smiled.
It's not a bitter smile, nor is it self-deprecating, but it's really a matter of looking away and feeling relieved.
It's actually really good for them to be like this.
Everyone has their own pain that they don't want to share with others, so they can only choose to hide it, choose to bear it alone, cry alone, grieve alone, and then slowly transform alone, gradually forget, become memories, and no longer care.
.
Only after you have loved can you realize that you are actually very fragile; only after you have cried can you know what heartache feels like; only after you have been in pain can you know how to protect yourself; only after you have been stupid can you know when to persist and when to give up.
In fact, life does not require so much meaningless persistence, and there is nothing that really cannot be given up.
Sometimes, a person feels that he has come to an end, but in fact it is just his heart that has come to an end. No matter how deep the despair is, it is a process, and it will always end, and avoiding it is never an option.
So, just like that, the past is gone, and the future can only be looked forward. Have the courage to move forward boldly, maybe the opportunity will be in the next second.
Now, she no longer has any big ideals or wishes. She just wants to live a good life every day.
Well, first of all, there will be a very important meeting tomorrow morning, and Fang Yuan will chair it.
She must go all out and not make any mistakes. If she denies being caught by that woman, the consequences will be disastrous.
Everything she is doing now is not only to gain a reputation for herself, but also for him.
That woman Fang Yuan is very powerful and can do anything. She must be careful, careful, and careful again.
My thoughts went from chaotic to clear.
Mint adjusted her breathing and convinced herself not to think too much, then turned over and changed her sleeping position, hoping to fall asleep faster.
***
The next day.
The morning sun rises slowly.
The high-tech photosensitive curtains automatically open, and the naughty sunlight slips into the room instantly.
Under the illumination of a beam of light, dust particles suspended in the air are clearly visible.
The person on the big black and white bed was still asleep, but he was obviously disturbed by the sunlight. Mint curled up slightly, showing signs of waking up.
She lazily turned over and opened her sleepy eyes. Her whole body felt refreshed and she felt as comfortable as if she had been in a hot spring.
The unfamiliar bedroom and unfamiliar big bed made her slightly stunned, but she quickly realized that she slept in Guan Shouheng's residence last night.
It's really strange. She slept so late last night and tossed and turned for a long time before going to bed, but as soon as she closed her eyes, her sleep was like being possessed by magic. This was almost the best sleep she had had in the past few years.
.
She turned around and looked at the alarm clock beside her bed. The hour hand pointed to eight o'clock, which made her jump up suddenly.
Going to be late!
She quickly got up and rushed into the bathroom attached to the master bedroom to wash up.
Ten minutes later, she finished taking care of herself, took off her white shirt, put on her own clothes, and then walked out of the master bedroom quickly.
As soon as the door was opened, the faint aroma of food wafted over.
In the open kitchen, Guan Shouheng was busy at the sink, but even though he was busy, his movements were still very graceful. He was waving the spatula with ease and loading the fried poached eggs and ham onto the plate.
Although she has seen this situation too many times, it is undeniable that her heart can't help but beat every time she sees it.
She had never seen it before, and she couldn't even imagine that there was any other man in the world who could do this better than him.
She used to know many young men from rich families, and it didn't matter that none of them were good at housework. However, the men she met later came from ordinary families. When she was working, she often heard them complain about their wives or girlfriends.
They force themselves to do something again, which shows that they are unwilling to do housework.
Even Zhuo Xi is the same. He can do other jobs, but he can't do housework, and he hates cooking and washing dishes.
She really didn't understand why Guan Shouheng could do this kind of thing so well and so freely.
It is understandable that he has been trapped by the environment since he was a child, but now that he is out of that predicament, why does he still have to do it on his own?
It's not that he can't afford a servant, but he doesn't like the interruption of servants, right?
She couldn't help but think of the past, when she invited two servants home without authorization, and how patient he was at that time without quarreling with her.
"Morning." Sensing her presence, he turned around and said.
"Morning." She came back to her senses quickly, slightly curled her lips, and returned a smile.
"Breakfast is ready, sit down!" He handed her a glass of juice.
She reached out and took it, feeling a strange feeling in her heart, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
"I slept so late last night. I wanted you to sleep a little longer. Besides, it's still early and I can go to work in time." He placed two breakfasts on the dining table and pulled out a chair to sit down.
I looked up and saw that she was still standing there, her expression a little stunned.
Mint was still standing there, frowning slightly, secretly calculating the time in his mind. He had a strategic location, and it was very convenient to go anywhere by bus, so he could indeed make it in time.
After making sure that she wouldn't be late, she sat down with confidence.
Guan Shouheng couldn't help but smile and sighed, and reminded her, "I have to go to work soon, so I'll just give you a ride. I won't be late."
He sounded matter-of-fact.
Mint suddenly felt embarrassed that she had been seen through, and a blush of embarrassment slowly stained her cheeks.
Obviously what he said was normal, but there was something... sweet in her heart.
"No, I'll just take the bus." She deliberately and indifferently drew a line to prevent herself from coveting his tenderness.
"It's our way anyway, why go separately?" The corner of his mouth slowly raised into a smile.
"Aren't you afraid of being seen by others? It will cause discussion!" Divorced couples come to work together in the morning, and they can think whatever they want, right?
"Are you feeling guilty?"
Guilty?
That’s weird! Nothing happened last night!
"Whatever you want!" She took a bite of ham hard.
The two began to have breakfast immediately. Due to the time, they did not quarrel anymore and ate breakfast together in silence. In the intimacy, there was a hint of wrestling with each other.
Twenty minutes later, they rushed to the place of work together.
The black Mercedes-Benz S-Class was speeding towards the convention and exhibition center.
The atmosphere in the car was quiet, Guan Shouheng drove skillfully, and Mint was wearing a seat belt and sitting in the passenger seat.
She secretly glanced at the man next to her with her peripheral vision, and vaguely felt the masculine and determined aura emanating from him.
As the car drove further and further away, getting closer and closer to the convention and exhibition center, her mood also changed and she became more and more sad.
From last night to now, the relationship between the two has finally come to an end.
Whether it was his sharp words or the armor she wore with pride, it was all over.
As the car turned into the parking lot, Mint slowly turned his gaze out of the car window and saw people and cars passing by under the building.
"We're here..." Guan Shouheng held the steering wheel with both hands and turned to look at her beautiful face.
"Thank you." She lowered her head to unbuckle her seat belt, deliberately avoiding his sight.
Guan Shouheng looked at her eagerness to get out of the car, and suddenly felt a sense of reluctance in his heart. He whispered, "Mint..."
She stopped opening the car door, turned her head, and looked at his handsome face. His eyes were extremely deep, like two whirlpools in the black sea, sucking her in deeply.
She held her breath slightly, hesitated for half a second, then slowly opened her lips and asked softly, "Is there anything else?"
"..." His eyes were fixed on her indifferent face. Before he could speak, the horn of a car outside the car window rang, interrupting them.
Mint also heard the sound and went out, and saw a champagne-colored Maserati passing slowly out of the car window near him. That was Fang Yuan's car!
Mint was subconsciously annoyed, there were so many enemies on the same road!
When you meet someone, of course you have to say hello.
Fang Yuan slowly lowered the window, showing a smiling profile, "Good morning, Guan Yi."
"Good morning, Miss Fang." Guan Shouheng responded politely.
The two cars passed each other quickly.
Mint sat on the passenger side and did not say hello to Fang Yuan, nor did Fang Yuan talk to her, but she was still sure that Fang Yuan must have seen her!
She didn't know why Guan Shouheng didn't go to dinner with Fang Yuan last night, or why the trip ended quickly if he did, but she knew that Fang Yuan must have honked the horn on purpose just now!
The woman's intuition tells her that there will be a fierce battle today!
The car stopped slowly. Mint pushed the door open and walked out firmly, with her back straight and high-spirited. If she was afraid, she wouldn't be called Mint!
Guan Shouheng stared at her back outside the car window, a hint of worry flashed through his deep eyes, but then he was relieved. Some things must be experienced by herself.
Her ability is very strong, but she has not done any professional work in a systematic way for so many years. She definitely lacks workplace experience, and her character is so arrogant. If she doesn't practice it now, she will definitely suffer big losses in the future.
***
Every working day morning is the same, the office is busy and people are on their feet.
At nine o'clock, everyone arrived, and at 9:05 am, the French team immediately held an internal meeting.
Mint turned on the computer, printed out the documents she had processed last night, and submitted them all after binding them.
Among them was a piece of writing material, which was given to Fang Yuan.
"Miss Fang, this information has been processed. Please take a look at it." She handed over the document.
Fang Yuan nodded and took it, then flipped through it, looking at it very carefully and attentively, as if she was trying every possible means to find mistakes.
Mint was confident in her heart. She had checked this document three times, and every detail had not been missed. There could be no mistakes.
This document was translated from Chinese into French. The content is about a high-tech enterprise in France. This enterprise is a manufacturer of integrated circuit products with a line width of less than or equal to 0.8 microns. China provides preferential policies. After certification, it will start from the profit-making year.
, the first and second years are exempt from corporate income tax, and the corporate income tax is halved from the third to the fifth year, commonly known as 2 exemption and 3 halving. The tax rate is 25% when it is halved.
Integrated circuit manufacturing enterprises with an investment of more than 8 billion yuan or integrated circuit line width less than 0.25 microns can pay a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15%. Among them, if the operating period is more than 15 years, starting from the year when profits begin
, corporate income tax is exempted from the first to the fifth year, and corporate income tax is halved from the sixth to the tenth year, commonly known as 5 exemptions and 50% reduction.
She knew that this document was very difficult to process. During the translation process, she had to thoroughly understand the policies and regulations, otherwise it would easily lead to misunderstandings, so she paid extra attention and even checked the relevant information during the translation process.
In order to be rigorous about laws and regulations, she even memorized almost the entire tax code.
But--
"Miss Bo, your tax rate processing was wrong!" Fang Yuan said coldly.
Mint frowned subconsciously, impossible!
When she left last night, she specifically checked this place. After confirming that it was correct, she saved the file and shut down the computer. There was absolutely nothing wrong!
"Read it yourself!" Fang Yuan returned the document to her.
Mint took it suspiciously, looked down and saw the place Fang Yuan had circled with red pen on a certain page, and was stunned for a moment.
How can it be?
She had clearly noticed that this French foreign-funded enterprise, with an investment of more than 8 billion yuan, complies with the policy of 5 exemptions and 5 half reductions, and should have a reduced tax rate of 15%, but why did it change to 25% on paper?
She was very careful about this question, so there was no way she could make a mistake. Even though she was in a daze for a while last night, she was very efficient afterwards. She checked it carefully several times before leaving. How could she make a mistake?
Unless... someone tampered with her computer?
But her computer has a password, who can open it at will?
And even if someone really moved it, there is no evidence!
But now that it was written in black and white, there was no room for her to defend herself!
"Ms. Bo, your document has been delayed for several days. Today is the deadline. This document will be faxed out at 9:30. You don't even understand the tax rate issue now. Do you know how serious the consequences are?
"?" Fang Yuan criticized sharply.
Mint looked at the time, it was already nine twenty, there were still ten minutes left!
"Sorry, I'll change it right away!" She didn't have time to argue with Fang Yuan, because she knew the seriousness of this matter. Once the document was faxed, it would be a done deal and there was nothing she could do about it.
The corporate investment amount in the document exceeds RMB 8 billion. The gap between 15% and 25% is too big!
Not to mention her, even the entire organizing committee cannot bear this responsibility!
Bo Min grabbed the document and stood up quickly, but Fang Yuan stopped her again and said sharply, "Miss Bo, let me remind you, there are only ten minutes! Are you sure you can finish it alone?"
uncertain.
Mint gritted his teeth and answered in his mind.
She could almost recite this document backwards and forwards. There were twenty or thirty places in it that related to tax rates. Including conversions, even if she changed one place per minute, there wouldn't be enough time!
The other people at the conference table looked at each other, but no one expressed an opinion, and had no intention of helping. Instead, they all looked like they were waiting to watch the show.
Within the French team, and even the entire language center, the document signature system is now implemented. Whoever is responsible will sign. If something goes wrong, they must bear the responsibility themselves.
Qiao Nawei was originally very uninterested during the meeting, but now she suddenly became energetic and said falsely, "Mint, do you want me to help you? We have known each other for so many years, so we should take care of our old classmates.
Yes! As long as you open your mouth, I will definitely try my best!"
Mint secretly gritted her teeth and pursed her lips tightly.
At the conference table, the only one who still had some compassion was Lin Lin. She persuaded in a low voice, "Mint, just lower your head for once and let us all help you?"
Mint was very grateful to Lin Lin for her kindness, but it was useless!
Because she had been responsible for this document from the beginning, and it had never changed hands even during the few days she was absent from work. No one else had ever seen such an obscure and troublesome document, and it was very difficult to read it at first, let alone read it.
Translated!
Otherwise, how could Qiao Nawei be so kind?
Fang Yuan held a red pen in one hand and suggested expressionlessly, "Miss Bo, in my opinion, for the present, the only thing I can do is go to Mr. Guan for help."
Qiao Nawei smiled half-heartedly, and stood on a united front with Fang Yuan, "Miss Fang is right. Looking at the entire French group, and even the entire language center, Mr. Guan may be the only one with this ability! He is a world-class simultaneous interpreter. He has been
I have been in charge of many Sino-French Chambers of Commerce and I must be very good at this!"
Mint secretly squeezed the documents in her hands. They did it on purpose! They deliberately wanted to embarrass her in front of Guan Shouheng!
Another two or three minutes passed quietly during the confrontation.
"Mint..." Lin Lin secretly pulled off her sleeve.
"...Okay, let's go to the 28th floor!" Mint finally had to give in.
Qiao Nawei slowly raised her red lips, smiled wickedly, and "kindly" helped open the door of the conference room.
Fang Yuan slowly stood up and led the way with elegant steps, a strange light flashed in her eyes.
Mint had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep up.
The two quickly arrived at the 28th floor, where Guan Shouheng was also in a meeting.
Today he is in the multi-functional conference room on the left. Multi-functional conference rooms usually host higher-level people, so it would be very, very bad to interrupt him midway.
Fang Yuan stood five meters away, obviously not wanting to be the one knocking on the door.
Mint looked at his watch again, there were only five minutes left!
She had no choice but to come to the door of the conference room. Through the glass on the door, she saw Guan Shouheng talking to someone.
She waved at him awkwardly.
He was so focused that he didn't notice her, so she had to knock on the glass in disgrace.
This time, he finally noticed it, but he wasn't the only one who noticed it. Almost everyone in the conference room turned their heads suspiciously.
She frowned instantly when she saw his handsome eyebrows.
