Chapter 175 A touch of coolness
After finishing their overtime work that day, Lin Yue and Li Hao walked out of the company building together. The streets were dimly lit at night, and a gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.
Li Hao looked at her slightly tired face and asked distressedly, "How do you feel? Your performance today was great. You don't have to worry about Chen Wan's doubts, right?"
Lin Yue smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Yes, I can finally deal with her calmly. Although I still feel pressured, my mentality is much better. At least I won't be led around by her by the nose."
Li Hao gently held her hand and said softly, "Lin Yue, you don't need to change yourself for anyone. You are good enough the way you are, it just takes time to prove it. Remember, no matter what you encounter in the future, I will always support you."
Lin Yue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She looked at Li Hao with gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you, Li Hao. With your encouragement, I really feel that there is no difficulty that I cannot overcome."
Li Hao looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of affection and determination: "We are each other's strength. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will be by your side and face it with you."
As Lin Yue listened to Li Hao's gentle yet resolute promise, the fatigue in her heart seemed to be gradually soothed, replaced by a full sense of strength and determination. She gently leaned on Li Hao's shoulder, a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "Li Hao, I'm so lucky to have you accompany me on my life journey. With you around, I feel nothing is scary."
Li Hao gently put his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "As long as we move forward hand in hand, no matter how much pressure or obstacles we face, they will only be temporary. In the end, we will all reach where we want to go."
Over the next few weeks, Lin Yue approached every challenge at work with a fresh mindset, especially Chen Wan's persistent challenges. She knew her mission wasn't just to complete the project; she also had to maintain her composure, demonstrate professionalism, and prove her competence. This time, no matter how critical Chen Wan became, she would stand her ground.
At a routine project progress meeting, Lin Yue once again proposed a resource allocation optimization plan. As soon as he finished, Chen Wan coldly questioned him, "Lin Yue, your resource allocation plan is a bit naive. The current workload isn't sufficient to support such a large-scale adjustment, and the allocation ratios, in particular, are completely unfounded."
Lin Yue glanced at Chen Wan calmly, feeling a wave of frustration, but undeterred by her questioning. She smiled faintly and explained firmly, "Manager Chen, I'm making this adjustment based on our current progress and the team's needs. Based on past project experience, a moderate shift in resources can achieve twice the result with half the effort later on. Of course, this plan can be further adjusted based on specific circumstances, but I believe it will have a positive impact on work efficiency at this stage."
Chen Wan snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and said coldly, "Lin Yue, experience and data are the foundation, not simply making decisions based on intuition. I hope you can truly understand this, rather than just talking about 'efficiency'."
Lin Yue sighed inwardly, but didn't flinch. She replied calmly, "Manager Chen, if you have any specific suggestions for improvement, please share them and we can discuss them together."
Seeing her calm demeanor, Chen Wan's face flickered with impatience. "Lin Yue, project development isn't just about empty talk and idealistic plans. You need to focus on reality. Next, I hope to see more tangible results, not these idealistic suggestions."
Lin Yue suppressed her displeasure and replied calmly, "I will continue to refine the plan to ensure that the project meets the highest standards in its implementation."
After the meeting, Lin Yue felt a bit suffocated and breathed a sigh of relief. She knew she had no lack of expertise or ability. While Chen Wan's doubts were frustrating, they also made her more determined to complete the project.
That evening, Lin Yue returned home and saw a message from Li Hao: "How was your day? Any new progress?"
Lin Yue took a deep breath and sent a voice message to Li Hao, telling him what happened in today's meeting: "Chen Wan still doesn't miss any opportunity to question me. It seems that she is always dissatisfied with my decisions. No matter how much preparation I make or how I explain, she still feels it is not enough."
A few seconds later, Li Hao replied, his voice gentle but firm: "Lin Yue, this is just her attitude, it doesn't mean you're not good enough. In fact, her doubts can help you improve your plan. Think of her challenges as training. A truly strong person won't be overwhelmed by doubts, but learn to find opportunities in them."
Lin Yue felt a surge of strength rising within her as she listened to his voice. She quietly digested Li Hao's suggestion, understanding his intention—since Chen Wan was unwilling to yield, she would view her doubts as a way to sharpen her own abilities and unleash her potential.
She typed back, "Thank you, Li Hao. With your support, I feel I can overcome any pressure."
Li Hao sent a smiling emoji and replied, "Lin Yue, I always believe in you. Since you have chosen this path, I will accompany you all the way. Pay attention to every detail, and the final success will definitely belong to you."
Lin Yue put down her phone, a surge of conviction building within her. She began to feel that Chen Wan's doubts were no longer a source of pressure, but rather a driving force for continuous improvement. Li Hao's support and encouragement had truly taught her how to become stronger in the face of setbacks.
With Li Hao's encouragement, Lin Yue gradually adjusted her mindset. She began carefully analyzing every meeting discussion, no longer viewing Chen Wan's questions as pure hostility. Instead, she took every suggestion seriously. She intensified her data analysis and even prepared several additional plans to address potential challenges.
At a meeting, when Lin Yue reported on the progress of a new plan, Chen Wan again questioned him: "Lin Yue, the changes in this periodic data are unstable. How did you get it? Is the data accurate?"
Lin Yue calmly processed Chen Wan's questions, smiled gently, and replied calmly, "Manager Chen, the data comes from actual project measurements, so fluctuations do occur. I've already mentioned this in my report. To address this, I've designed a dynamic adjustment mechanism that can track and optimize data in real time."
Chen Wan was stunned. She had obviously not expected Lin Yue to be so well prepared, not even finding any loopholes in her questioning. Her eyes flickered, and her tone softened slightly: "It seems you've prepared quite well this time."
Lin Yue smiled and responded, "Thank you for your reminder. It is because of your advice that I can process this data more carefully. Let's work together to make this project the best it can be."
Hearing her words, Chen Wan's expression was complicated, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, but she ultimately stopped nitpicking. Lin Yue knew that her actions had left Chen Wan with no reason to refute her, and all this had only strengthened her inner confidence.
After finishing overtime that day, when Lin Yue walked out of the company, she saw Li Hao waiting for her at the door. He walked over with a smile and handed her a cup of warm coffee. "How was the meeting today? You look so energetic. Did it go well?"
Lin Yue took the coffee and smiled softly, "Chen Wan still doubts me, but I no longer feel pressured. Every time she questions me, I prepare more diligently, which makes me more confident."
Li Hao gently held her hand and smiled, "This is the Lin Yue I know. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can always turn pressure into motivation and ultimately show your true strength."
Lin Yue felt a warmth flow through her heart. She looked at Li Hao with eyes full of gratitude and tenderness. "Thank you, Li Hao. It was with your encouragement that I found my own direction. I used to be afraid of rumors and doubts, but now I begin to feel that this is also a part of my growth."
Li Hao held her hand gently, his tone filled with a firm promise: "Lin Yue, no matter what the future holds, we will face it together. I always believe that you will go further and become a better version of yourself."
Under the night lights, Lin Yue felt incredibly at ease and happy. She knew that with Li Hao by her side, she was no longer alone. No matter how difficult the road ahead, she would persevere and prove herself with her strength and conviction.
Every day in the future, she will use actions to fight back against all doubts and win the glory that truly belongs to her.
