"In the early years when the silk weaving factory was very profitable, there were a lot of wages, annual bonuses, and subsidies. Although this happens one by one, the road is made by people. How can you conclude that you will be the best in this life?

What if it doesn’t work?”

Gong Liang said nothing.

"Don't you like hearing such empty lies?" Jing Lixiang asked with a smile.

"No." Gong Liang shook his head quickly.

"That's because you can't listen. It's normal and understandable. It's already very late. It's cold in the late autumn night. Don't stay outside and go back. Your mother will be really anxious if you don't go back."

Gong Liang knew that Jing Lixiang was right, so he stood up and helped Jing Lixiang back.

Jing Lixiang waved his hand and said no. He had been lame for so many years and had no problem walking on his own. But he couldn't walk if someone helped him.

The two walked away slowly.

"By the way, Xiaoliang, I remember hearing from your parents last year that you had negotiated a few small orders for peripheral products. Why, after a trip to the Magic City at the beginning of this year, there was no news. I heard that the quality of silk at the silk weaving factory this year was...

Not bad."

"The order from the Magic City was lost." Gong Liang said disappointedly, "Chief Chen led the team. I was originally asked to take charge of the negotiation, but I was temporarily frightened and did not perform well, so I lost it."

"The section chief didn't blame me. He said he was too impatient and shouldn't have let a young man like me, who had just become a full-time employee, deal with such a big deal."

"It's my problem."

"You don't seem to be someone who has stage fright. You have been the most slippery among these kids since you were a kid, and you always talk the same thing."

"I...I'm just afraid." Gong Liang frowned, rarely expressing his true feelings, "I'm afraid of big occasions like this. I get flustered when I see people. I forget all the words I prepared in advance as soon as they come to my mouth."

"Everyone said it was a pity that the factory lost its quota for the exhibition this year. I also know that it is a pity, but I am actually a little lucky in my heart."

"I'm afraid that when the exhibition comes, Section Chief Chen will entrust me with the heavy responsibility, and I will get stage fright and even run away. This year's sales volume will be as dismal as last year, and our sales department will lose the face of the silk weaving factory again."

"I knew that the trade fair was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I went there and negotiated a big deal, my father's medical expenses would be saved. As long as the factory's efficiency was good and the reimbursement of medical expenses could be reduced, my father would be able to pay for it.

Go to the provincial hospital for treatment."

"But at the same time, I'm very afraid of screwing up the fair. I'm even glad that there are no quotas this year. If I can't go, I won't screw up."

"Master Jing, I think I am a coward and a deserter. I don't want my dad to lie on the bed waiting to die, but I know there is a way to save him and I don't want to try it."

"Everyone said that I was helpless during this period because something happened at home. No, I was..."

"I hate myself."

“I hate that there are things I want to do and things I could do, but I don’t dare to do them.”

Jing Lixiang listened quietly.

After Gong Liang finished talking, Jing Lixiang asked nonchalantly: "You're not going on a business trip these days, right?"

Gong Liang nodded.

"Can you tell your section chief to take half a day off tomorrow afternoon and come to a state-owned hotel?"

Gong Liang was a little confused, but still nodded: "It should be okay."

Jing Lixiang smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you at the state-owned hotel tomorrow afternoon."
