Hidden truth, intricate love

Chapter 109 Tacit Cooperation

After successfully solving the problem with the real estate developer, Su Wanqing, Gu Beichen and Lin Yue's team took a break. However, at this time, a relationship crisis quietly emerged between Su Wanqing and Gu Beichen.

Su Wanqing and Gu Beichen have always worked in perfect harmony, fighting together for the cause of consumer rights protection. They've supported each other through challenges, and their relationship has gradually blossomed. However, recently, due to work pressures and busy schedules, their interactions have dwindled.

Su Wanqing was completely absorbed in her work, often neglecting Gu Beichen's feelings. Every day, she rushed to various complaint sites, engaging in difficult negotiations with consumers and company executives. Returning to the office, she had to organize documents and write reports, leaving her with little time for a proper conversation with Gu Beichen. While Gu Beichen understood Su Wanqing's work ethic, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

Gu Beichen himself was also too busy with work to care for Su Wanqing as much as before. He was busy testing various commodities and foods, analyzing the root causes of problems, and providing strong evidence for negotiations. In the process, he also ignored Su Wanqing's emotional needs.

One night, Su Wanqing returned home exhausted. She turned on the lights, only to find the house empty and devoid of warmth. She recalled the warm times she had spent with Gu Beichen, and a wave of melancholy welled up in her. She picked up her phone, wanting to call Gu Beichen, but she didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, Gu Beichen was also working overtime in the office. He looked at the photo on his desk. In it, Su Wanqing was smiling brightly and was beautiful. He recalled every moment they had shared together, and felt a surge of guilt. He knew he hadn't cared enough about Su Wanqing lately, but he didn't know how to make up for it.

Just then, Su Wanqing's phone rang. She looked and saw it was Gu Beichen calling. She hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the phone.

"Wanqing, are you okay?" Gu Beichen's voice was a little hoarse.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Su Wanqing's tone was a little cold.

"I'm fine too. It's just that we've been too busy lately and haven't had time to have a good chat." Gu Beichen said.

"Yeah, I'm too busy at work." Su Wanqing sighed.

"Wanqing, I know I haven't cared enough about you recently, and I'm sorry." Gu Beichen said sincerely.

"It's okay, I understand you. We are all working." Su Wanqing said.

"However, no matter how busy we are at work, we cannot ignore each other's feelings. We cannot let work affect our relationship," said Gu Beichen.

Su Wanqing was silent for a while and said, "You're right. We can't let work affect our relationship. But what should we do?"

"We can find some time to go out and relax together and have a good chat. We can also care more about each other and not let work take up our entire lives." Gu Beichen said.

Su Wanqing felt a little warm in her heart after hearing what Gu Beichen said. She said, "Okay, let's find some time to go out and relax together."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanqing and Gu Beichen were filled with anticipation. They knew that their relationship was in crisis, but they also believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome this difficulty.

In the days that followed, Su Wanqing and Gu Beichen tried their best to make time for each other. They went to the movies, had meals, and took walks together, enjoying their rare moments together. In the process, they rediscovered the sweetness and happiness they once had.

After this emotional crisis, Su Wanqing and Gu Beichen cherish their relationship even more. They know that while fighting for the cause of consumer rights protection, they must also take care of their own emotional lives. Only in this way can they better face the challenges of the future.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting patches of light onto the street. A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness. In this bustling city, a major consumer rights protection campaign was about to begin.

Su Wanqing arrived early at the event, dressed in a simple business suit, her long hair neatly tied back. Her eyes radiated determination and confidence. As a representative of a consumer rights protection organization, she understood the importance of this event. Every action she took to fight for consumers' legitimate rights and interests was a mission she held close to her heart.

The event site was neatly arranged, with banners flying and various consumer protection slogans prominently displayed on display boards. Su Wanqing busily moved among the crowd, discussing event details with staff and ensuring everything was in place.

At the same time, Gu Beichen also arrived at the event. He was tall and straight, handsome, with deep, piercing eyes. As a representative of another relevant organization, he also shouldered important responsibilities. Gu Beichen's presence attracted the attention of many people, and his powerful aura inspired respect.

During the event preparations, Su Wanqing and Gu Beichen disagreed over some work arrangements. Su Wanqing advocated a more gentle approach to communicating with the company, seeking a collaborative solution. Gu Beichen, on the other hand, advocated a firmer approach, forcing the company to address consumer rights. The two held their own views, arguing endlessly. While they ultimately reached a consensus through the mediation of their superiors, the lingering grudge remained.

At the start of the event, the host took the stage and enthusiastically introduced the purpose and significance of the event. Representatives then took turns speaking, outlining their views and suggestions on consumer rights protection. Su Wanqing's speech was concise, clear, and powerful. She emphasized that consumers' legitimate rights and interests must be fully protected and called for joint efforts to create a fair, just, and honest consumer environment. Gu Beichen's speech was more rational and pragmatic, analyzing the current challenges and problems facing consumer rights protection and proposing some specific solutions.

During the interactive session, the audience actively asked questions, and the representatives diligently answered them. Su Wanqing and Gu Beichen also expressed their views on a number of hot-button issues. While they tried to remain objective and neutral in their responses, their words revealed their differences.

After the event, people gradually left. Su Wanqing packed her belongings and prepared to head to the parking lot. She felt a mixture of emotions. On the one hand, she was happy that the event had been a success; on the other, she was troubled by the conflict between her and Gu Beichen. She didn't know how to resolve the rift between them, nor did she know if their relationship could ever return to the way it was before.
