Looking at the back of Li De leaving, Yun Ye couldn't help but buried her head deeply, staring blankly at the messy table.
She knew she screwed up.
Although she knew before coming to Yuxi City that the road ahead would be difficult and dangerous, and she had given herself a vaccination, but when this failure really came, Yun Ye still felt very uncomfortable. She only felt that her heart seemed to be tightly clenched by an invisible hand, rubbing it again and again, which made her chest ache every time she took a breath.
In all fairness, Li De did nothing wrong, and neither did the senior managers of Yuxi City. They just dared to bet that Lord Yunyang would accept their conditions, so they insisted on being a little more greedy and taking Heigangcheng into their pocket.
What made Yun Ye most painful was that she also believed that Lord Yunyang would choose to compromise in the end.
It's just that it has nothing to do with her at all. For Yunye, this negotiation is the last chance to change her own destiny. She knew this very well and tried her best to get the best result, but she still lost in the end.
Who is to blame
Blame Li De and his Yuxi City? Iron ore brings huge benefits. Once this industrial chain is in hand, it can create jobs for tens of thousands of poor families and change their destiny. No one will let go easily.
Blame Lord Yunyang? If the option of Black Steel City was added to the negotiating conditions, it would be possible to send anyone randomly to negotiate a good deal, and Yunye would not be used.
Blame Laerte, Zipu and the others? If they hadn't shirked their responsibilities, Yun Ye wouldn't even have the qualifications to come to Yuxi City, and would have been detained in that mountain village forever.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that everything is inevitable and arranged by fate, and Yun Ye has done her best.
Everyone is told that "those who try their best and fail to achieve can have no regrets, but who can ridicule them", but for most people, it is actually impossible to have no regrets. People are creatures struggling in the quagmire, and a small mistake can lead to an irreparable ending. And when the irresistible fate comes to him, who can really face it calmly.
Yun Ye closed her eyes, she knew that she should leave the table at this time, and said goodbye to the high-level officials of Yuxi City generously, and returned to Lingyun City with the last dignity, but her hands and feet did not obey, and her mind was obviously blank , but still unwilling to admit defeat.
Who would be willing to accept such an ending
From the beginning to the end, she was the only loser in this negotiation!
Yuxi City will get the iron ore, the lord of Yunyang will welcome back his son, only her Yunye will become a punching bag because she failed to negotiate a condition within the bottom line, either die in the lord's mansion, or marry the neighboring village with infinite unwillingness The butcher, who was more than twice her age, endured a longer torment—
endlessly.
This is what she has to carry, and this is the panic that has been born since she was born.
When she was a child, Yun Ye saw with her own eyes a girl in the village who did not want to get married tied up hands and feet with ropes, screaming like a pig, was gagged with rags, and was forcibly thrown into the wedding room for a whole month. After being beaten to death, half a year later with a big belly and no light in his eyes, he was afraid of anyone and hid in a dark corner forever.
At that time, Yunye wanted to escape, she was very afraid, always worried that one day she would face the same situation. Especially after the death of her doting grandparents, her father married a widow in the village, who is her current stepmother; since then, Yunye has been afraid of growing up, afraid that she will reach the age of marriage. Every time she met her mother's appraising eyes, she would unconsciously lower her head. The village that brought her countless joys in her childhood seemed to be a cage that swallowed her in darkness.
Only by escaping from here may there be a glimmer of life.
She has read Jian Jia Cang Cang here, and seen Lu Ning turning white or frost, and now it is a thing of the past.
Going back again, there is no longer the happiness of being greedy for the autumn moon and spring breeze, but the disaster of being overwhelmed by the world.
But what can I do? Yun Ye was really unwilling, she wanted to kneel down on her knees and beg for such unwillingness, but in the end, she just smiled wryly and stretched out her hand to the wine on the table, raised her head suddenly, and gulped down go down.
In an instant, the world fell silent.
Why do people like to use alcohol to drown their sorrows, because after being drunk, the painful feeling will be infinitely weakened and replaced by endless happiness. The whole body is light and fluttering, the sky and the earth are constantly rotating, and there are buzzing beeps in my ears.
The strong wine enters the throat, turns into a cloud of hot air, flows into the internal organs, and flows through the limbs and bones along with the blood.
The courage hiding in the corner quietly emerged again.
Yun Ye let out a mouthful of alcohol, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and stared at the ceiling quietly.
She just felt that she had never been so sober as she is now, and all kinds of thoughts poured out like a tide.
In a daze, Yun Ye seemed to see her kind grandpa reaching out her wrinkled hand again, stroking her forehead, and said softly:
"Yun Ye, your child has been smarter than others since he was a child, and he will definitely have a greater future in the future. Grandpa has never been to school, but he also knows the importance of reading, and knows that people need to listen more, read more, think more, and have a lot of money. Persevere. What grandpa can teach you is some old-fashioned truths. What kind of person you want to be is up to you to decide. You have to be responsible for your own choices. "
Yun Ye didn't know what she wanted to be like.
She didn't know what kind of person she would become.
But she knew that this moment was the time for her to present all the things she had gained from continuous thinking in her sixteen years of life.
The territory of Eternal Heaven appeared in her mind, one territory after another slowly lit up on it, converging into a torrent of history.
And Yuxi City is the most westward, closest to the source, and currently the bleakest area.
Yun Ye opened her eyes, and the aura of timidity that used to be on her body was swept away, replaced by the aura of the breeze and bright moon in my arms, and the spirit of fighting against all sides. When her eyes jumped out of the Yunyang Territory and Yuxi City, after jumping out of this chaotic farce, and then looked back at the situation in front of her, what she saw was instantly different.
The moment Lid stepped out of the door with one foot, a shout suddenly came from behind:
"Wait a moment!"
Yun Ye propped up the table with one hand, brushed her forehead hair back with the other hand, and stood up slowly.
This time, for the first time, she will muster up the courage to point out the general trend of the world as a young girl from a remote village.
This time, she will use the identity of a little-known little person to convince these high-level officials of Yuxi City who she thinks are already top-notch and smart.
Is it difficult? Difficult, but that's why it's a challenge.
When was the brightest moment in your life? Mine is now!
Yun Ye flicked her sleeves, and her drunken voice sounded more mature than before:
"If the city lord wants to take the lead in the alliance in the near future, he should not fight for such insignificant interests right now."
When he heard the word "huimeng", Lide finally turned his head and looked at Yunye, his eyes were different from any time before.
There was a look of obvious surprise between Shuang's eyebrows and eyes, and even He Yue and Fang Shisan looked a little unexpected.
Li De smiled and said to Yun Ye:
"Change the place and go to the council hall to talk."
