Chapter 74 The Next One Is Even Better
Despite the unexpected turn of events, Yu Huan remained composed, leaning slightly forward, and said in a calm yet firm tone: "A man should have his own dignity and not compromise or pester others endlessly."
"Director Yu is right." Wei Quan was determined to make a good impression, and said sarcastically, "Compromise like a dog."
The blond-haired man remained silent.
He naturally knew the leaders of the provincial newspaper, who were definitely officials.
As the saying goes, the common people can't fight with officials, especially since he felt he had done something wrong, so his arrogance immediately vanished.
Seeing this, Yu Huan smiled.
I still prefer your rebellious self from the beginning.
As Huang Mao turned to leave, he tossed out a sentence: "Xiao Yu, I'll come find you after you finish this event."
"Didn't you hear me? I broke up with you!" Zheng Yu's voice was hoarse.
Huang Mao paused, glancing at the three people on the steps one by one. His lips moved, but he said nothing, lowering his head and disappearing into the crowd.
Seeing Zheng Yu's tearful appearance, Yu Huan truly didn't know what to say.
If I were to be honest, I'd really have to say, "You have terrible taste, choosing a blond guy as your boyfriend."
Wei Quan, being an Arhat, had no idea how to comfort her.
Fortunately, Zheng Yu had good self-regulation skills and did not burst into tears. She just silently watched Huang Mao's figure disappear into the crowd.
“We started dating in high school, and he’s always been like this, a sleazy guy, he’s never changed.” Zheng Yu raised the back of her hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
Hear the words.
Yu Huan, as usual, laughed and joked, "Zheng Yu, although it's common for girls to like delinquents during their school years, I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste during your adolescence. I thought you would like handsome, good-looking, and athletic academic geniuses."
Zheng Yu just sighed: "I thought he was amazing during my adolescence, but looking back, I just think he was ignorant and incompetent, a bunch of good-for-nothings who gathered together doing nothing, with empty and shallow eyes."
Yu Huan said, "It's okay, Zheng Yu, the next one will be even better."
"Brother Yu is right!" Wei Quan gave a thumbs up: "The next one will be even better!"
The two stood outside and chatted with Zheng Yu for a while.
Aside from her still slightly red and swollen eyes, with a few drops of moisture remaining at the corners, Zheng Yu burst into laughter through her tears: "Yes, the next one is even more handsome!"
It's obvious they stopped loving each other a long time ago; they're only together out of habit.
Of course, whether she truly felt at peace in the quiet of the night is something only she herself knows.
Xu Fei also came out to take a look, and seeing the three of them standing outside chatting and enjoying the breeze, he immediately joined them.
The group chatted for a while about various trivial matters.
Wei Quan said that it rained lightly yesterday, and the walls and ceilings of their department were a bit damp. After Chen Yaoyao reported this to Director Li, a construction team came early this morning and installed a waterproof and heat-insulating layer on their roof.
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan nodded.
The newspaper has not only verbally pledged to provide strong support to their new media department, but has also genuinely allocated a significant amount of resources to it.
This is evident from the fact that staff from various departments cooperated with Zhao Yuanzhao to develop the client application, without even needing to ask the new media department for help.
Something happened here.
Yu Huan did not go back in.
"I hope you have a good time. I've been in Shanghai for the past two days and will only be back this afternoon. I still have some things to take care of."
After trying to persuade him to stay a few more times, Xu Fei had no choice but to wave and say, "See you tomorrow, Brother Yu."
"Yes, you should also go back early, there's a morning meeting tomorrow."
"Brother Yu, thank you." Zheng Yu's expression had returned to normal.
"No need to thank me." Yu Huan waved his hand, responded to Wei Quan's farewell, and turned to go down the steps.
They merged into the bustling crowd.
After strolling for about ten minutes to the vicinity of the central square, I found his electric scooter.
I straddled it, put on my helmet, and at 7:15 p.m., I turned and headed to Old Lin's place.
The roadside trees stand in dense rows, their shadows swaying gently, and the leaves rustle in the breeze.
I rode my electric scooter at breakneck speed to my destination, and then took the elevator straight up to the fifteenth floor.
Carrying a bag of pear syrup candy, he knocked on the door and waited for a while before Old Lin slowly opened it for him.
"Dad, this is the pear syrup candy Rongrong bought for you." Yu Huan handed him the bag.
"Did you come all this way just to bring me candy?" Old Lin took the candy with one hand, and only after Yu Huan came in did he close the door with the other.
"I also came to see you two."
"You've got a good idea, kid." Old Lin smiled as he watched Yu Huan open the shoe cabinet, take out the Blue Cat shoe, and put it on.
Old Lin coughed lightly and then said, "Your mother-in-law went to play mahjong, so it'll probably just be the two of us staring at each other tonight."
"Really?" After changing her shoes, Yu Huan stood up from the shoe bench. "How's Mom's luck with the lottery lately?"
"It's alright, there were wins and losses."
The father-in-law and son-in-law moved to the sofa.
The evening news was playing on TV.
After they sat down.
Old Lin casually placed the pear syrup candy on the coffee table and poured Yu Huan a glass of water: "Was Shanghai fun?"
"The CBDs of big cities are all very similar and highly homogenized. With only a day and a half, there's no time to wander around the streets and alleys and truly experience the vibrant atmosphere of Shanghai."
"Didn't you go up to see the Oriental Pearl Tower?"
“We didn’t go to Pudong, we just strolled around the Bund, and frankly, there wasn’t much to do there.” Yu Huan took a sip of hot water and continued, “However, I heard that the Disney resort will be put into use in 2016.”
"This is indeed a major project, and its impact on Shanghai's tourism industry will be unprecedented." Old Lin deals with the news every day, so his vision is naturally far-sighted.
He opened the plastic bag and unwrapped the outer packaging of the Old City God Temple pear syrup candy.
He took out a large piece, broke it in half forcefully, and handed one half to Yu Huan, saying, "Try it."
This traditional local specialty of Shanghai, originating from the old City God Temple, is renowned far and wide.
It has the effects of moisturizing the lungs and relieving cough, promoting saliva production and soothing the throat, making it most suitable for people who smoke frequently.
Yu Huan didn't stand on ceremony with this biological father who wasn't related to her by blood; she reached out, took the food, and popped it into her mouth.
The pear syrup candy from the Old City God Temple is very hard, so hard you can't even bite into it. It has a cool taste with a hint of sweetness, and the refreshing sensation immediately flows down your throat and down your mouth.
"Take some if you like." Old Lin put the other half into his mouth.
Hearing this, Yu Huan quickly shook her head: "I don't like sweets. Besides, Rongrong bought these for you because she saw you often smoking and coughing."
"At least she's filial." Old Lin leaned back on the sofa watching TV, the pear syrup candy crunching against his teeth in his mouth.
Yu Huan thought for a moment, then took out his phone from his pocket and made a video call to Lin Yourong.
Hearing the familiar ringtone, Old Lin asked curiously, "Who are you video chatting with?"
"With your daughter!"
