Chapter 11
My friend's company had a good foundation, but lacked better technology for breakthroughs. After I joined, I directly led the technology department to improve existing technology.
A week later, the technology had greatly improved, and when the project was released, it was much better than before.
I pressed on with the momentum, not relaxing at all. Even my colleagues seemed to be inspired, working overtime until 3 or 4 AM every day.
Hard work pays off.
When the second project was launched, it went viral online, attracting a large number of fans.
The previously unknown small company quickly became well-known, and even those who had previously rejected cooperation now came to my friend and me, wanting to apply for collaboration.
My phone kept ringing non-stop for a short period.
One day, I had just hung up a call when another one came in.
I answered it without thinking.
As soon as I connected, I heard Rosalie's voice on the other end.
"Felix, the water pipe at my house is broken. Can you come over and fix it for me?" she asked.
By now, Rosalie and I had been broken up for nearly half a year. Hearing her voice felt almost surreal.
Busy with work, I had rarely paid attention to her anymore. I only knew that her company hadn't gone public according to the original schedule and seemed to have run into some trouble.
As for the specifics, I wasn't too clear.
"Why don't you ask Tyler or call a plumber?" I replied flatly.
I didn't understand why she would contact me.
In the past, whenever something went wrong at home, no matter how busy I was, I would rush back to fix it. But now we had broken up, it wasn't appropriate for her to reach out to me.
After a few seconds of silence, Rosalie finally spoke.
"I fired Tyler. I have no contact with him anymore."
I was a bit surprised.
Before I could ask, she continued, her voice choked up, "I've tried calling plumbers, but it's too late."
"Felix, I know it's too late, but I don't know who else to turn to. I really have no other options."
"If you don't help me, I might really..."
She sobbed a couple of times.
Her tone was desperate.
I could hear the piercing wind through the phone.
I keenly sensed something was wrong.
"Where are you now?" I asked.
Rosalie hesitated for a long while before saying, "The rooftop."
I couldn't help but think of before, when the company had just been established and suffered heavy losses due to a decision-making problem. At that time, Rosalie was on the verge of a mental breakdown and climbed onto the windowsill in the middle of the night after writing a suicide note.
Fortunately, I discovered it in time, or it would have been unthinkable.
I thought she was rational enough, but I didn't expect her to do such a foolish thing again.
If I didn't know, I naturally wouldn't have contacted her, but now that I knew she might be in danger, I couldn't stand by and do nothing.
After thinking for a moment, I sighed, "Wait for me."
I quickly changed clothes and drove back to this familiar place.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Rosalie's red, tear-stained eyes.
