A Woman Like a Blue Rose

"Ms. Yi, you've made me feel the urge to move here!"

"Thank you! So, in fact, the price isn't the primary consideration for customers. As long as the price is within their affordability, they'll choose the house that better meets their housing needs. So I hope the Sales Department can reposition Hefeng Xuju and conduct meticulous training for every saleswoman! Now, it's up to all of you," Yiren said to everyone with a smile.

When she left Hefeng Xuju and was on her way back to the Huanyu Building in the car, she felt extremely tired.

"Ms. Yi, I finally understand why you could become the General Manager of Ruicheng at such a young age!" He Yuyun said to Yiren. For the first time, she admired a woman so much.

"Because I'm Long Yuhao's eldest daughter," Yiren turned to look at He Yuyun and said with a smile. The smile was a bit tiring.

"Besides this, the President must have recognized your ability," He Yuyun shook her head and added.

"Believe this: A girl who's too strong won't be liked by others," Yiren laughed.

"Is this the reason why you're divorced, Ms. Yi?" He Yuyun blurted out.

Yiren looked at He Yuyun, and He Yuyun immediately realized that she had asked an inappropriate question.

"Sorry, I didn't mean anything else."

"It's okay. Maybe my ex-husband and I just weren't meant to be together, so we separated." When she was with Ji Minze, she wasn't strong at all. She was just his secretary, and she often made mistakes. And their separation might be the arrangement of fate. They met and then passed each other by.

He Yuyun didn't ask anything more. She was afraid that she would say something wrong again.

"Dongfang Hao is a good man. You can consider him," Yiren said. She could tell that her secretary liked Dongfang Hao.

"Are you very familiar with him, Ms. Yi?" He Yuyun asked in confusion. Hadn't she only met him once or twice?

"We used to be colleagues," Yiren said.

"Ah?" He Yuyun was surprised by Yiren's answer because she had never heard Dongfang Hao mention that he had worked in Japan. Hadn't he been working with the President of Longteng from the very beginning? "Has Dongfang Hao also worked in Japan?"

"No! He was my colleague before I went to Japan," Yiren said and then closed her eyes to rest. She didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Today was also Yiren's birthday. So the large bouquet of blue roses she received in the morning was sent to her by Long Zeming from Japan via air freight.

Long Zeming once said that she was like a blue rose, full of mystery and allure. So he couldn't help falling in love with her since the moment he saw her, even though she was much older than him.

We always say no to those who love us and give everything to those we don't love.

Yiren kissed the bouquet of blue roses and left her office.

Today, she wanted to go to the "If There Is an Afterlife" bar and sit for a while.

She remembered that the first time she met Ji Minze was here. He had said to Cheng Yuxuan that he wanted a glass of vodka. All of this was so vivid as if it had happened yesterday.

She hadn't made a cocktail for a long time, but today she wanted to make a glass of Baileys for herself.

"Xiaotang, please get me a glass of vodka!"

A familiar voice sounded behind her. Yiren, who was facing away from the bar counter and making a cocktail, was stunned for a moment. She slowly turned around and saw Ji Minze sitting at the end of the bar counter. He also happened to turn his head and look this way.

"What a coincidence!" Yiren spoke first.

"Yeah, what a coincidence," Ji Minze also said.

He was very irritable today. He knew that today was Yiren's birthday. When she was far away in Japan before, he couldn't do anything. And now that Yiren had returned to this city, he found that he still couldn't do anything, not even make a phone call to her and said, "Happy birthday!" He didn't even have the courage to do such a simple thing. He didn't expect to meet her here while drinking.

Xiaotang glanced at the two of them. He knew that they were divorced and that Yiren was no longer the young mistress of the Ji family.

He thought they would be embarrassed when they met, but unexpectedly, they were as calm as ordinary friends.

"Are you getting used to working at Ruicheng?" Ji Minze asked Yiren politely after taking a sip of vodka. In fact, he wanted to directly ask her how she was doing.

"Not bad. But since I'm switching to the real estate industry, there's a lot to learn all over again." The main industry of Longze Corporation in Japan was automobiles, so she had always dealt with automobiles before. And now she was back and working in the real estate industry, which was something she had never touched before. So she had to start from scratch for many things. Fortunately, she was good at negotiation and sales, which reduced a lot of pressure for her in this industry.

"Don't push yourself too hard!" He seemed to have never seen her gain weight. Whether it was before or now, she was still a bit thin.

"It'll be okay once I get used to it. Aren't you working harder than me?" Yiren replied, a trace of melancholy flashing through her heart. She was now used to working hard and working overtime, so she didn't even know what it meant to be tired anymore. Because habit had become second nature. And the company Ji Minze managed was bigger than the one she was managing now. He must be under more pressure and working harder than her.

Ji Minze smiled faintly and didn't say anything. The vodka was quickly finished.

Yiren noticed that he was drinking a lot now and even smoking, which she had never seen before.

"When did you start smoking?" Yiren looked at Ji Minze and asked. At that moment, she really wanted to take the cigarette out of his mouth and stomp on it.

Ji Minze looked up at Yiren and softly said these words,

"Five years ago!"

Yiren was taken aback. Ji Minze started smoking after she went to Japan again, which meant he had been smoking for five years. This man, who used to be very clean, now had the smell of alcohol and cigarettes on him.
