However, Summer Mu and Beck did not expect that this farewell would last for half a month. From the harsh winter to the end of this winter.
The situation in B city, although not difficult, was also tricky and requires her to spend a lot of energy. And this time she was representing Beck to take charge, with greater responsibility than before, and she would not easily leave halfway. So she had been completely focused on B city.
On Beck's side, the A plot project had just started, and there were many complicated matters at hand. It went without saying how much effort he would put into his first real estate project. Moreover, although the cooperation with R had been achieved and even communicated happily so far, who was Beck? Would he trust Barry, and even Wilson without any grudges? So he appeared amiable on the surface, but in reality, he ordered people to guard tightly, leaving no gaps in all cooperation details to avoid being taken advantage of. So until today, under his control, F had always been like an iron wall, with benefits in sight and no leakage.
Mu had just tasted the taste of mutual affection when they separated from each other. It felt like a seed that had been buried in her heart for a long time, finally breaking through the soil and growing big sprouts that almost covered her entire heart. But at this moment, the sunshine and rain were blown away by the wind, and the bud stood still in her heart, hanging down and desolate. But still trying to climb up bit by bit. She was silently tormented throughout. Sometimes when she thought about the two of them already being together, it felt like a dream.
And what about Beck? Because they gained the limelight in this battle, various door-to-door cooperation relationships, and the favor of resources and networks were also endless. Nowadays, everyone in the commercial district of L city knew that besides Beck, there was someone else who was proud of the spring breeze. This had led him to socialize or work late every day before returning to his residence. Exhausted or slightly intoxicated, looking at the time, it was already midnight or 1am. He once took out his phone and looked at it for a while, but he still put it down and didn't call to disturb her.
So it took about three to five days for the two of them, one south and one north, to talk on the phone. The time spent on the phone was often not long. But every time at this time, it's the happiest and fastest time of the day for Summer Mu. For Beck, it was also the only time when his mood became soft and joyful after floating and sinking in the mall.
Sometimes he called her, sometimes she called him. The conversation between two people often started like this——
Beck: "What are you doing?"
Summer Mu: "Just finished work and went home, lying in bed. And you?"
"Just finished dinner. There's still a meeting later."
"Beck, don't work too hard."
"Hmm, I know. Is it cold in B city?"
"It's quite cold. "she reached out and touched the heating pipe by the bed. She still lived in the house she used to rent." Hey, the heating pipe here isn't very hot."
So his tone cooled down: 'Didn't I tell you that my keys are in the office drawer? Summer, I don't like you sharing a room with someone else. Heh... still live in a rundown house."
Summer Mu replied, "I don't. Your home is yours, and my home is mine. No matter how poor my home is, it's still my home. I don't want to stay at your house."
Beck fell silent.
Summer Mu sensed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly said, "Hey, don't be angry. Actually, my living conditions are pretty good now, really. And after living here for a long time, I really have feelings."
Beck suddenly smiled and said calmly, "This is the last time. When the overall situation of L City is settled and we return to B city, you can live wherever you want."
Upon hearing this, Summer Mu's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be foolish and said, "What…"
On the other end of the phone, although Beck was intentionally teasing her, his own emotions were also faintly stirred.
Should I temporarily set aside some work and fly back to B city to see her? Beck had never had this idea before. Especially after talking to her on winter nights, my hands felt cold but my heart felt hot. This thought had moved more than once.
But he was also a man with strong self-discipline and firm goals. Since the strong enemy was on the side, he didn't allow himself to slack off or be distracted at all. So she went on a business trip for half a month, and he didn't even fly over to see her for the last time.
On the one hand, it was due to career reasons. On the other hand, Beck was still too confident. He had confidence in himself, and he was also too confident in the feelings he sincerely faced. Although this relationship was just beginning, and although they had been apart for a while, and their relationship had temporarily given way to career development, Beck believed that this love would definitely thrive in the future. Everything would come naturally under his control.
He believed that they would definitely have good results.
————————
A few days after coming to B city, Summer Mu received a call from Fang.
She smiled and asked, " Fang, what's the matter? Aren't you busy with daily affairs?"
Fang also smiled, but brought her shocking news: " Mu, I have an old classmate who has been a professor at New York University for many years. He studies economics. A few days ago, I accidentally talked to him about you, and he is very interested in you. If you are willing, you can apply to study at New York University as his student. Of course, the premise is that your high school grades are good enough and you also need to take the entrance exam and provide a paper summarizing your work experience over the past few years."
Summer Mu was stunned for a while before answering, "Can I?"
Fang smiled and said, "I don't know either. But would you like to give it a try?"
Summer Mu couldn't speak for a moment. That feeling was like a star in the distant horizon, occasionally only yearning in my heart, and sometimes reaching out to depict it. But today, it suddenly flew in front of you, like a dream.
Fang said, "Young people should not easily give up their dreams. Your life is still young, and the road ahead is very long. If you don't take a walk, how can you know if there are more beautiful scenery in the distance? Mu, you should be a person who lives a more exciting life. I think your path is far more than that. Of course, if you really decide to try and succeed, the relationship between love and education must be well coordinated and handled by yourself."
...
After hanging up the phone, Summer Mu sat there for a while before finally flipping out her own suitcase at home. Because she was alone outside, she brought all the important educational documents out of J. Soon, she sat on the ground and spread things all over it. After staring blankly for a while, she looked up and leaned against the bed, unsure whether to cry or laugh.
Last year at this time, she was still working as the lowest level salesperson in the supermarket. Waking up early and working late every day to catch the bus, loading and unloading goods, and welcoming one customer after another with a smiling face. When she saw the glamorous state of high school students in college and the workplace , she always quietly watched and often left her blessings. But in her heart, she didn't envy, it's fake.
And now, almost a year had passed, pulling up her fingers to calculate, since following Beck, she had hardly taken any vacation, often working overtime, and business trips were commonplace. It's even harder and more stressful than being in a supermarket.
She finally widened her path. For her, a precious opportunity as precious as gold arrived at this moment. As long as she can seize this opportunity and get into an American university, her life can be completely turned around and start over.
She stared for a while before picking up her phone. The first thing she found was Beck's phone number. Looking at his name and the familiar string of numbers, her heart was filled with warmth.
Since she left J, although their contact had decreased slightly. But the relationship was still so good. Now that this matter had arisen, besides Beck, Summer Mu just wanted to share it with her.
Rose continued, "Ah, miss me?"
Summer Mu smiled and said, "If I don't want you, I can't call you, can I?"
"Don't talk nonsense, what concerns me the most is how you are doing with that ruthless Beck? Are you still working for him?"
Summer Mu smiled and didn't speak. Rose suddenly felt something strange and became excited, "You guys can't... there's something going on, right?"
She hadn't told Rose about their situation yet. Summer Mu smiled and let out a "hmm", slowly and attentively speaking to her friend.
...
After finishing her love story and discussing her academic opportunities, Rose couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. She said, "Ah, from what you're saying, although Beck is quite cold and proud, he still genuinely likes you now. I'm really, really happy for you! And no matter what, he's handsome and wealthy! Is his net worth several hundred million? Oh my god! Hahaha, your good days are finally coming! Don't forget me when you become a wealthy wife in the future."
Upon hearing this, Summer Mu couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you talking about? I don't rely on him. Now I'm at least a small person, okay?" Both of them laughed, but after a while, Rose said, "What are you planning to do about going abroad? Anyway, I think studying is just secondary, so don't let it affect your relationship just for the sake of studying. But then again, if you increase your education, you'll be even more impressive, and you'll have more capital. Ah, I'm really conflicted."
Summer Mu said, "There's no need to worry. I've told him before that I want to study in the United States in the future. He said I can go anywhere I want. He's supportive. He's different from others, his heart is big, and he completely understands me. I also understand him. Even if he really goes abroad in the future, I think we will definitely discuss a good solution with him, which won't affect our relationship."
"Hey, the meat is numb! So... did you mention this to him?"
This time, Summer Mu remained silent for a moment and smiled, "Why bring it up now? I also want face in front of him. What if I don't pass the exam? Let's talk about it later."
