Chapter 57 Proving Herself
"Bai Ling, don't overthink it. Since you've decided, focus on your preparations and try to pass the examination as soon as possible. Besides, I believe you have great potential. You know, savvy investors never invest in industries but in people. I'm confident that my investment in you will yield significant returns in the future."
“白灵，你不要多想，既然决定了，还是努力备考，争取早点上岸，况且我相信你是一个潜力股。你知道厉害的投资商投资的从来不是产业，而是人，我相信我在你身上的投资将来一定能让自己获得很大的收获的。”
"It's an honor that you think so highly of me." Bai Ling finally let her guard down, seeing herself as an investment.
“难得你这么看得起我。”白灵终于放下心来，他把自己当产品投资了。
Though repaying favors can be difficult, it's still worth a try as long as it doesn't involve emotions.
人情虽然难还，但是只要不碰到感情还是可以试试的。
"Time is life. If you want to become a leader in this industry and truly stand at the top of the pyramid, you must race against time. So, if you need to borrow money, don't hesitate. Those who achieve great things don't fuss over the details, while those who do rarely accomplish anything significant."
“时间就是生命，你想要成为这个行业的佼佼者，真正站到金字塔上，就要和时间赛跑，所以你若真需要借钱，不必犹豫不决，成大事者不拘小节，拘小节者成不了大事，也难有作为。”
"I've learned a lot, Zhang Yi. No words can fully express how grateful I am. All I can say now is thank you!"
“受教了，张译，千言万语，现在我只能说一声谢谢！”
Bai Ling left Group Corporation B, and Luo Xiao never reencountered her in the bidding. Group Corporation B's representative no longer included Bai Ling, and not only had she disappeared, but Zhang Yi had also vanished.
白灵离开了B集团，罗肖在竞标中再也没有遇到过白灵，B集团的代表再也没有白灵这个人，不仅白灵不见了，张译也消失了。
Luo Xiao sensed that something was off.
罗肖感觉到了不对劲。
Bai Ling was not an ordinary girl, and she had a strong will of her own.
白灵呀白灵，她不是一个按常理出牌的姑娘，她也是一个太有主见的姑娘。
Zhang Yi protected her so well that Luo Xiao couldn't even find her phone number.
可是张译把她保护得很好，他居然连白灵的电话号码都查不出来。
Zhang Yi had deliberately severed their connection. In the past, since he often saw Bai Ling during the bidding process, not having her contact information wasn't an issue.
张译就是故意断开他们的往来，原来自己在竞标中能够经常看到白灵，所以有没有联系方式并不重要。
However, now that she had disappeared, he realized he couldn't reach her even if he wanted to.
可是现在白灵消失了，他才发现原来自己想要联系她也联系不上了。
Damn Zhang Yi, he was so cunning and devious.
该死的张译，太有手段了，也太阴险了。
Luo Xiao had a feeling that he might lose her for good this time, but no matter where he looked, he couldn't find Bai Ling.
他直觉这一次他真的要失去她了，可是哪怕他满世界去找也找不到白灵在何处。
Bai Ling was a true homebody. She could stay in her room for years if going out wasn't necessary.
白灵本来就是一个宅女，若不是必须出门，她能窝在自己房间里面几年不出来。
Bai Ling's last speech made Luo Xiao see his own heart clearly, and he understood what was truly important. The so-called face and pride were insignificant compared to Bai Ling.
白灵的那一次的话语也让罗肖看清了自己的内心，他知道到底什么才是真正重要的，所谓的面子，所谓的骄傲都不重要，和白灵比起来都不重要。
Now, the only way to get back together with Bai Ling was for him to make amends and swallow his pride in front of her.
而现在的情况，唯有他自己去向白灵示好，服软，才有可能迎来转机，才有可能再续前缘。
In fact, during their last confrontation, he didn't really want to fight her anymore, nor did he want to target her deliberately. He had already thought about slowly making amends, which was why he didn't give his all during that bid----- he had held back.
其实最后一次他本就不想再和她真正地斗了，也不想再刻意针对她了，他已经想要慢慢地示好了，所以那次竞标他没有全力以赴，他是留有余地的。
Bai Ling's performance at that time was exceptional, but he could win if he had been truly determined to fight.
白灵那次的确发挥到了极致地好，可是若他真心想斗，也不是没有赢的可能。
However, he chose to give up and let her have the opportunity, yet no one knew about his decision.
只是他选择了放弃，选择了把机会让给她，只是这些却没有任何人知道。
