Chapter 690 Problem
Duan Yujing gazed at Li Yan with deep affection and tenderness, and said softly, "Xiao Yan, I understand your suffering. Don't worry about our future; let everything take its natural course."
As he spoke, he gently raised his other hand and smoothed the strands of hair that had fallen beside Li Yan's temples, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure.
Li Yan felt a lump in her throat, and tears almost rolled down her cheeks again.
A relieved smile appeared on her lips as she nodded slightly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere around them seemed to be instantly dispelled by this warmth, leaving only a lingering sweetness.
From then on, their feelings for each other deepened, like fine wine, becoming rich and fragrant with the passage of time.
In their daily interactions, a glance or a light touch is full of tacit understanding and deep affection.
The occasional minor frictions and misunderstandings of the past have also dissipated like smoke and clouds.
However, before Duan Yujing could indulge in this tender affection for long, company business surged up like a tidal wave, plunging him into a busy vortex.
Duan Yujing, dressed in a sharp suit, strode through the company's various departments, gathering elite staff.
The conference room was brightly lit all night, and a huge electronic whiteboard was covered with dense data and charts. People sat around it, discussing things intensely.
"Consumer preferences in emerging markets are constantly changing. We must go deep into the field, conduct precise research, and understand every detail, from cultural customs to daily consumption habits. We cannot overlook anything."
Duan Yujing's eyes shone brightly as he swept over the crowd, his laser pointer tracing sharp beams on the whiteboard.
The team members were all focused, writing furiously, nodding occasionally in response to his every instruction.
Outside the window, the city lights flickered and traffic thronged, all shut out by this glass wall. Inside, only the sparks of thought and the tense atmosphere of preparation remained.
Meanwhile, Gu Tingyu and Shen Nianxu devoted themselves to the early preparations for the "Heartbeat Couple Challenge".
Inside the training venue.
The lights were as bright as day, and the equipment was arranged in a neat and orderly manner.
Gu Tingyu was wearing a sports vest, and his muscles looked even more toned under the sweat.
He frowned, looking at the program schedule in his hand, and said to Shen Nianxu, "Nianxu, I think we need to work on our endurance for this physical challenge segment."
The show includes many climbing and long-distance running events; with the current training intensity, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep up."
Shen Nianxu had her hair tied in a high ponytail, with a few strands sticking to her sweaty cheeks.
She crossed her arms and retorted, "But skills are important too. When it comes to solving puzzles and collaborative tasks, if your brain can't keep up, even the best physical strength is useless. You have to figure out the difficult parts of the process first and then train accordingly."
Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared directly at Gu Tingyu, unwavering and urgent in her tone.
The two remained locked in a tense standoff for a moment, the atmosphere thick with tension, as if the air around them had frozen.
The coach stood by, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, watching the two rivals.
After a moment, Gu Tingyu was the first to calm down, scratching his head and smiling.
He walked to Shen Nianxu's side, gently patted her shoulder, and said with apology and affection, "Nianxu, you're right. I didn't think it through. We can't neglect either side. Let's combine our efforts, okay?"
Shen Nianxu's lips curled up, she snorted softly, and said reproachfully, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you."
The two looked at each other, their anger turning into smiles, like the sun breaking through the clouds after a storm.
Their relationship quietly warmed up amidst these arguments and reconciliations.
In subsequent training sessions, they shared water, wiped away sweat, and cooperated seamlessly, their every move filled with sweetness.

Gu Tingyan, however, is deeply mired in the quagmire of company management.
Inside the office, documents were piled up like a mountain, resembling a dilapidated building on the verge of collapse.
The flickering data charts on the computer screen all pointed to the dire state of the business decline.
Competitors are like hungry wolves lurking in the shadows, maliciously poaching talent.
High-salary job offers were sent like hidden weapons to the company's key personnel.
