After leaving the company, Fade Chen's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller's number and found that it was an unfamiliar phone number. He paused slightly, and then he answered the phone.
Before Fade could speak, someone spoke in a rushed manner on the other end of the phone, "Are you Fade? I'm Yoko. Sister Winnie is going abroad and her flight is tonight. Can you come over now?
Hearing her words, Fade responded immediately. Yoko Xie was Winnie Huo's best friend and classmate. Fade had gone for a meal with them the last time.
Hearing that Winnie was going abroad, Fade immediately said, "Where are you? I'll be right there."
Yoko said, "I'm at Michelin Western Restaurant which is at Ring Road Food Street."
Fade hung up the phone and drove quickly to Michelin Western Restaurant.
After parking the car in front of the restaurant, Fade noticed that Yoko was rushing over with an anxious
expression. "Fade, you're here!"she said.
Fade did not greet her. Walking beside Yoko, he asked, "Did something happen to Sister Winnie? Why is she suddenly going abroad?"
Yoko sighed slightly and looked at Fade. She couldn't help thinking of the incidents in the past.
Previously, Fade and the two of them had attended their classmate reunion together. After returning from that event, Winnie admitted that she had feelings for Fade after Yoko had asked her about the matter. However, they discovered that Fade was married.
As a result, Winnie's blossoming feelings took a hit, and she was depressed for a few days.
Later, Winnie turn her thoughts toward her career. She accepted many engagements at once, in order to numb herself with a flurry of activities and forget about the feelings in her heart.
Although Yoko felt upset for her best friend, she also knew that Winnie needed to let go of that relationship.
Initially, they had good intentions. However, they did not expect that Winnie's career would not go well. Clients and agencies said that she was waning in popularity and that she was no longer famous. They deducted her salary, insulted her, and gradually ignored her.
These issues caused a lot of controversy and Winnie felt that her work place was unpleasant. Specifically, the recent contractual issues with the agency caused Winnie to be upset. She had no mood to work.
Winnie's emotional wound had not healed yet, and troubles appeared in her workplace. She felt tremendous pressure and she almost collapsed.
In the end, Winnie could not bear all of these issues in her life, so she decided to give up her acting career and further her studies abroad.
Winnie was about to leave today, and she informed Yoko of her decision. Then, she asked her to have a farewell meal together. As for Fade, Winnie naturally did not tell him about this due to her feelings toward him.
Yoko understood Winnie's thoughts. She knew that Winnie was not going to study abroad. Her purpose of leaving was to escape from her work and emotional stress.
If these matters were not resolved directly but simply avoided, the fundamental issues would not be resolved at all. Moreover, Yoko did not support Winnie's decision to give up her acting career.
