The Hope You Gave Me: 73-air

Two months later, Guanchao re-elected a new board of directors and produced eleven new directors. Xin Qi was elected chairman and CEO with a majority of votes.

Meanwhile, Cheng Qirang quietly resigned, and three days later, Zheng Yiting announced her divorce from Cheng Qirang.

Not long after Xin Qi took office, at his suggestion, Guanchao appointed a number of outstanding women to the management team, including Cao Mu as the executive president and Min Hui as the chief technology officer. After HR's investigation, they agreed with the complaints of 23 female employees within the company, and dismissed employees with bad deeds, including three senior executives: Sun Yifeng and Wang Tongyuan were on the list of dismissals.

A number of female tide-watching employees, led by Min Hui, filed lawsuits against Cheng Qirang for sexual harassment, sexual assault, and violation of personality rights, and the case was filed. While lawyers say to be prepared for a protracted battle, at least it's a brave start.

Guanchao redrafted and adopted the latest company management system, which clearly prohibits sexual harassment and discrimination; HR has also promulgated internal systems for complaints, investigations, and handling; established a preventive mechanism to stipulate employee behavioral norms, Exhaustive listing of negative behaviors considered sexual harassment and focus on induction.

None of these had a big impact on Min Hui.

At the moment Cheng Qirang resigned, she didn't even have the pleasure of "revenge".

She repeatedly analyzed her feelings and came to the conclusion that the hardest and most terrifying moment was over, washed away by the water of the Mushui River. When she returned to Ben Thanh again, she was already a brand new woman.

Su Tian gave her life, Xin Qi gave her love.

Two strangers who came suddenly, joined forces and gave her the power to be reborn.

And they each paid a terrible price.

Under Xin Qi's care, Min Hui's body fully recovered. When she could get down to the ground, the Bluebirds and Tide Watchers were in full swing. In order not to affect Xin Qi's work, she moved out of Qingteng Garden and lived in Mingsen Community. She visited Su Quan regularly and returned to her old life rhythm.

Time passed quietly.

After becoming CTO, Min Hui is more motivated and more busy at work. Despite this, she would go to Tianying Mountain Base to practice paragliding every weekend. Han Yi was often absent, Qin Rui became her head coach, and she quickly passed the B-level certificate.

A week before the Qixi Festival, Min Hui called Xin Qi and said, "I got the certificate for two-person flying. This Saturday, the weather forecast is good, do you want to go to heaven?"

Over there, Xin Qi was startled: "How did you pass the test? So fast?"

"It's not too fast. I've been learning for more than a year. I took Han Yi several times. He said that I was flying well. Once, I encountered a cloud and was almost sucked in by the cloud. After I reacted quickly, I landed on a farmland, and sat on a cloud of cow dung."

Over there, Xin Qi laughed heartily: "You can take me to fly earlier."

"I'm afraid that you will get sick in the air, so I must practice your skills well enough and fly smoothly enough before I dare to invite you."

"So, now is the time?"

"Yes. Would you like to go?"

"Go. You dare to go, why don't I go?"

Saturday morning, Xin Qi drove to the take-off site on the north **** of Tianying Mountain Base, wearing a rare black motorcycle jacket, a pair of white washed jeans, and flying sunglasses, all over his body. Full of punk.

I don't know if it was because of the light or because of his body. His face was a little pale, as if he had just come out of prison, and he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

Min Hui was very confident, but seeing his face was wrong, she couldn't help but feel nervous: "Xin Qi, are you sure you want to fly?"

"OK."

He's emotionally stable.

"You're a little pale, do you need... a tranquilizer?"

"Not required."

"The weather is very good today, there are no clouds, the wind speed is stable, the updraft from this **** is quite strong, and we can fly very high."

"Excellent." He whistled happily.

After laying out the umbrella, Min Hui carefully helped him put on the helmet and fasten the harness. After checking the whole body over and over again and again, he said: "Areyouready? (Are you ready)"

Xin Qi nodded.

"I said one, two, three, and then ran forward together. One, two, three—"

The two of them leaned forward forcibly, and after trotting about ten steps, the paraglider inflated and rose into the air.

Under the action of the airflow, the wing swayed, rising and drifting toward the valley. Min Hui pulled the control circle with both hands and flew higher and higher with Xin Qi.

A cold wind blew, and she shivered from the cold. The wind in the air was stronger than expected, and it whined in her ears.

In the golden autumn, the valleys are verdant, with a large lake on the left and towering peaks on the right. Clouds and shadows pass over the ground, birds chirp in the forest, and springs in the mountains meander. The farmland of star Luo bunting is spread in front of you like a huge cassock.

"Are you cold?" Min Hui asked.

"It's not cold, how about you?"

"It's a bit cold, but it's okay."

He takes off his scarf, stretches out his arms, and turns to tie it around her neck.

The scarf is warm and has a faint citrus scent.

"Look over there - there's a big bird!" Min Hui called, pointing to a dark shadow to the east.

The shadows flew closer and closer, and before she could see clearly, they staggered away from them above the wing.

"An eagle." Xin Qi said.

"Really?"

He raised his Go-pro, "I got it. Eagles are dangerous animals."

Min Hui gasped nervously: "Fortunately, she didn't attack us."

"We seem to have flown past the landing site." Xin Qi said, looking at the ground.

"Yes, I'll fly a few more laps to keep you in the air a little longer."

"Thank you."

The paraglider glides silently in the air, and Min Hui controls it skillfully. After all, she is flying with a heart patient, and the airflow in the air is also a little disordered. Although she has practiced many times, she is still a little nervous. sweat.

For the next ten minutes, she was so absorbed that she hardly spoke.

After a while, the flight gradually stabilized, and Min Hui said, "I almost forgot to tell you, Cao Mu and Yin Xu are remarried at the end of next month, and they booked a restaurant for us to eat. Do you have time?"

"Yes." Xin Qi nodded, "Jiajun and Xiaolu are also planning their marriage, and it is expected to be soon."

"Well, he told me."

"What about you? When are you?" Xin Qi asked.

After the failed blind date with Qin Rui, Cao Mu, Yin Xu, and Zhou Ruji introduced several people to Min Hui one after another. Min Hui all met, and some even tried to date for a few days. The reason is nothing.

"I don't know, I don't even have a partner." She sighed, "It seems that I will be an orphan in this life."

"An orphan?" He didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

"Destined to be lonely for life, abbreviated as - Note orphaned life."

"That's not good, it's a pity to die alone."

"No regrets. I have a lot of experience in life, love, marriage, childbirth, divorce, etc., and I almost died once... I've been through everything."

"Will you marry me?" he said quietly.

"Hey, hey! Make fun of me again," she slapped him, "Is your brain not deprived of oxygen!"

"I'm serious."

"Take it down!" she said, "If you're serious, why would you introduce me to someone? What if I really like Qin Rui?"

"Some people are just that confident."

"What did you say?"

"I know that no matter how many people I introduce to you, the one you want to marry is still me."

"Bah! Bah Bah!"

"And—" He turned and held a small black box in front of her conjuringly: "I have a ring ready."

When she opened it, a small colorless and transparent stone shone brightly in the sunlight, making her eyes narrow.

She was stunned, stared at him blankly, and after a while, she asked, "Really? Are you proposing?"

"Yes."

"Then I want to hear those three words."

"Which three words?"

"ILOVEYOU. (I love you.)"

"I can't say it." He pointed to the sky, "Someone is watching us."

She rolled her eyes: "Are you going to tell me?"

"Don't say it."

"If you don't tell me," she said fiercely, "we won't land today!"

"Don't make trouble, it will kill you."

"Then die together! Our cemetery has already been bought anyway."

He suddenly laughed, the laughter getting louder and louder, as if he had encountered a very funny thing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I can also play this paraglider. I have the most advanced certificate," he said. "If you don't want to land, I can take you to the landing. If the main parachute can't work, you can land with the secondary parachute."

"Xin Qi! You bastard, you're playing with me again!" She yelled in the air in anger.

"I can fly by myself, but I've never taken anyone with me. It's not that I don't dare, and it's not that I'm not skilled, but I'm worried that I can't control my umbrella if I suddenly get sick, and even bring others to suffer."

“…”

"So I have to ask Han Yi to teach you. If something happens, at least you can land safely."

She gritted her teeth and ignored him.

"Min Hui? Min Hui? Will you marry?"

"Without those three words, don't marry!"

"Then I ask you, did you say 'one day in the future, whenever I need you, you will give up everything and even your life and come to help me?'

“…”

"Now, I'm asking you plainly, I need you to marry me, will you marry me?"

“…”

"Min Hui, you can't talk without words! You lied to me once, but now you want to talk back?"

She was so angry that she had no choice but to kick him.

"Oh!"

"Marry and marry! Treat it like a beast!"

"It's not a beast, it's a divine beast." He chuckled, "Take off your helmet and let me kiss you."

"Without those three words, I won't give you a kiss."

"Min Hui, did you say that one day in the future, whenever I need you—"

"I won't take you so shamelessly!"

"Do you know that disaster comes from your mouth? Will you dare to talk nonsense in the future?"

"You bully me, use logic loopholes to bully me!"

"This is the last time," he said softly, "I swear."

She thought for a while, took off her helmet, and leaned over, he turned around, put a hand around her neck, and kissed her deeply. At the beginning, he drove straight in, seeing her shy, and instantly became extra soft. She gradually became courageous, she couldn't help holding his face, and kissed back hard...

The light wind blows, the paraglider slowly rises, and the dazzling sunlight makes her feel that the sky is spinning, and the whole earth seems to be carried up by her, drifting away with them-

After landing safely, Min Hui saw Han Yi and Su Quan running towards them quickly.

Han Yi winked at Xin Qi, Xin Qi nodded and hugged him hard. Su Quan took Han Yi's hand and jumped up and down: "I want to hug too, I want a bear hug!"

Han Yi lifted Su Quan high, then hugged him and smiled at Min Hui: "Congratulations!"

Xin Qi patted Min Hui's arm and said, "Introduction, this is Han Yi."

Min Hui looked at him inexplicably, thinking, Han Yi is her coach, do you still need an introduction after knowing each other for a year.

"The English name is Eric, and he is my brother."

Min Hui stared at them in surprise.

"We don't look alike because we were both adopted," Han Yi said.

"During the acquisition period, my brother was afraid of my improper operation and excessive force, so he flew over to help me." Xin Qi said. Before she finished speaking, Min Hui's arm was twisted fiercely: "Xin Qi, you are a scheming Boy!"

***

On the day of the wedding, Xin Qi brought Min Hui, who was wearing a wedding dress, to Su Tian's tomb.

Min Hui stared at Su Tian's photo and said softly, "Tian Tian, ​​Xin Qi and I got married today. You gave me life and Xin Qi, and I will take good care of him for you. , support each other, never give up. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely give him back to you, so that you can be together well and love each other vigorously."

Xin Qi took Min Hui's hand, nodded and smiled, and said, "Tian Tian, ​​you are a gift from God, but unfortunately you flew back to the sky before I came to open it. Now you give I have brought the second gift, and I will definitely hold it tightly in my hand, enjoy it slowly, and never let her fly away easily..."

***

When Su Quan was six years old, Min Hui and Xin Qi went to the Bencheng Welfare Institute to adopt a girl named Shen Hong. The girl is ten years old this year, her parents are dead, and she is an orphan. They were only participating in a condolence activity organized by a tide-watching trade union, and the girl called Min Hui "Mom" as soon as she saw Min Hui. Although Xin Qi told her that the children in the orphanage lacked maternal love and liked to call the aunties who came to visit them mothers, Min Hui still felt that she had a fate with Shen Hong, and Su Quan also liked this sister very much.

The two discussed it and quickly went through the adoption procedures.

The day she brought Shen Hong home, she was crying all the time. Min Hui thought it was because she couldn't bear the teacher in the orphanage, so she quickly comforted her and said, "Xiaohong doesn't cry, we live not far from the orphanage, you If you want to come back to see your teacher and friends, we can come over often."

Xiaohong wiped away her tears and nodded sensible. But when he left the door, he still looked back three times.

Seeing that she was about to get into the car, she suddenly said, "Mom, I want to talk to a little friend before leaving, can I?"

"Of course, we are here for you."

Xiaohong put down her schoolbag and ran quickly back to the courtyard.

Across the iron gate, Min Hui and Xin Qi saw a thin and small boy walking out of the classroom dragging one leg. The two children held hands and whispered. The boy was calmly instructing something, but Xiaohong nodded and kept wiping away her tears.

The boy slowly took Xiaohong all the way to the gate, reluctantly watching her leave, refusing to turn around for a long time.

The two of them were sitting in the car and watching this scene, they couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.

After a while, Xin Qi sighed and said, "How about we adopt another one?"

Min Hui immediately nodded: "Okay."

He suddenly kissed her cheek gently.

"I thought you could say those three words." Min Hui said.

"No."

She glared at him and said nothing for a long time.

"Angry?" he asked.

"Don't get angry." She smiled slightly, her eyes dark.

Xin Qi has never said "I love you" to Min Hui.

But Min Hui knew that he had actually said it, in a strange way.
