Chapter 171 Reminder Chapter 171 Reminder
The bald Uncle Bao said a few words to the waiter and then went upstairs. It seemed that Dad had made an appointment with this Uncle Bao to meet here.
The two wanted to discuss business matters. At this time, my father was still in the wholesale grain and oil business. This business was originally doing very well and indeed made a lot of money, but my parents failed once. She was still young at that time, and later she heard from her grandma that her father had been cheated in business. The loss was tens of thousands. Tens of thousands before 2000 was not a small amount. My father and mother had several quarrels over this matter, and it is said that they almost divorced. When she was five years old, her mother took her to live with her grandmother in the countryside for more than half a year. At that time, her parents' marriage was in crisis.
When she was young, she once felt very happy because of her mother's company, but she didn't know that she almost became a child of a single-parent family. Two or three years later, she was in elementary school. One day her father came home drunk. He was very excited that day and kept hugging her and kissing her. Then he told her mother that Uncle Bao had been arrested. She was a little When I got older, I realized that Uncle Bao was imprisoned for economic fraud.
The tens of thousands of dollars before 2000 were probably all the family owned at that time. Not long after my parents started doing business, they managed to save some money, but they were defrauded of it all.
By chance, she met her young father again. No matter what she tried, she had to remind her father to pay attention to that person. How to get close to him was simply impossible with her current identity and appearance.
Yan Ling sat in the seat below and waited, refilling a cup of Maojian water for the fifth time. Since she didn't order anything else, she had been sitting there for almost two hours, and the waiter's attitude became more and more indifferent. Yan Ling looked at the time on her watch. It was already past 12 o'clock. Then she heard footsteps on the stairs and guessed that the two people had come downstairs.
Yan Ling paid the money in a hurry. She had to create an opportunity, an opportunity to talk to Lin Wenzhao. She didn't want the tragedy of the past to happen again in the Lin family. Yan Ling caught a glimpse of Lin Wenzhao and Bald Uncle Bao coming out together. She walked carefully in front. She only had one chance. With her father's kindness, she should be able to succeed. However, if she made a mistake, she would suffer a lot. Even so, Yan Ling decided to give it a try.
Yan Ling's steps were a little slow. After a few minutes, someone called her from behind: "Madam, madam, you have dropped your wallet."
Yan Ling turned around and saw Lin Wenzhao striding over holding her wallet. Yan Ling turned around. She was surprised at first, then touched her satchel and found that her wallet was missing. Then she thanked you very excitedly: "Thank you so much, otherwise I would have lost my wallet. I don’t know what to do today. Dad..." Yan Ling realized something was wrong and quickly changed her words: "Thank you, Uncle Lin."
Lin Wenzhao was very surprised and said: "How do you know my surname is Lin?"
Yanling hurriedly pointed at Uncle Bao and said, "I accidentally overheard this uncle talking to the waiter in the teahouse."
"Oh, young people should take good care of their things when they are out there. Don't lose them again. You may not be as lucky as today next time. Fortunately, you met us. If you meet others, I'm afraid you won't get your wallet back. ”
Yan Ling had heard something similar to this a long time ago. She tried her best to restrain her excitement and continued: "Uncle Lin, in order to express my gratitude, why not treat the two uncles to lunch? It happens to be lunch time." You’ve ordered, but you two haven’t eaten yet, right?”
Lin Wenzhao was still hesitant, but Uncle Bao said politely: "A young and beautiful lady is treating me to a treat. Such a good thing is probably hard to find, but it will cost the lady a lot of money."
Yan Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to continue talking, but she heard Lin Wenzhao say: "There's no need to eat. You just need to pay more attention in the future."
"I am traveling here alone. It is not easy to meet such a good person like Uncle Lin, so I should treat you to a meal no matter what and express my feelings. Uncle Lin, you don't have to be polite." Yan Ling tried her best. To build friendship with the local area.
Uncle Bao whispered a few words to Lin Wenzhao, and Lin Wenzhao had no objection. Yan Ling looked around and saw that there happened to be a restaurant not far away, so she decided to go there to solve the lunch problem.
Lin Wenzhao always felt that all this was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After arriving at the restaurant and finding a place to sit down, Yan Ling took the menu and asked Lin Wenzhao to order first. Lin Wenzhao simply ignored it. Uncle Bald Bao ordered two dishes and gave the menu to Yan Ling. Yan Ling took it over and looked at it carefully. I picked through it and chose a few dishes that my father loved.
Lin Wenzhao didn't say much, but Uncle Bao was a good talker, so he kept asking Yan Ling: "Miss, are you traveling alone?"
"Yes, I usually work and don't have much time. It just so happens that there are a few skies here during the New Year's Day holiday." Yan Ling answered, but she looked at Lin Wenzhao before speaking.
"What does Miss do?" Uncle Bao seemed to be very interested in Yan Ling.
Yan Ling then added: "People who are engaged in research and development spend all day in the laboratory."
"Hey, high-tech talents, I really can't tell. In the past, I always thought that such talents should wear thick glasses and be older. I didn't expect that the young lady would be so powerful at such a young age." Uncle Bao said this It's really awesome.
"No, Uncle Bao thinks too highly of me. I am nothing at all. There are many people better than me in this world." Yan Ling smiled slightly.
Uncle Bao was a little surprised. He then asked with a smile: "How do you know my surname is Bao?"
"Ah? Your last name is Bao?" Yan Ling looked surprised, then said: "I don't know what I just said, I'm sorry."
This woman is indeed strange. What is she trying to do by approaching them? Lin Wenzhao's heart was full of doubts, and here he intervened at the right time: "You said uncle on the left and uncle on the right, are we that old? You are in your early twenties, we are not much older. .”
Yan Ling suddenly realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing. At first, she almost called her dad, but then she changed the title to uncle. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that the age difference between them was not big.
Yan Ling smiled awkwardly and waved her hands and said, "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm rude, Mr. Lin." It wouldn't be rude to call her sir. She couldn't call her former father "big brother" under any circumstances. .
Uncle Bao laughed and said, "Old Lin, it looks like we are really old. This lady is really interesting."
It was the smiling tiger who looked so friendly like this that was the most terrifying. Yan Ling finally got closer to Lin Wenzhao. She had to find a chance to remind him, but how to make him believe what she said? Yanling was in trouble.

Chapter 172 Approaching Chapter 172 Approaching
The ordered dishes were all brought out. Lin Wenzhao looked at the dishes in front of him, including chestnut roasted chicken, potato roasted beef, cold pig ears, and spicy and sour fish fillets. These dishes were all his favorites and suited his appetite.
Bao Qing asked for another bottle of Erguotou, and he had to drink two glasses of it. Yan Ling did not stop him, but when Bao Qing poured wine for Yan Ling, Yan Ling refused: "I don't know how to drink, so I'll forget it." Alright."
Bao Qing didn't have the habit of coercing women. He let Yan Ling go easily and then filled the glass in front of Lin Wenzhao with wine.
The two men drank and talked about business. Yan Ling had a smile on her face, but she was muttering in her heart. At this time, her father was indeed inexperienced and had not yet seen through Uncle Bao's intentions. It's easy to be led into a rhythm, so it would be strange if he didn't get tricked.
When the two were chatting happily, Yan Ling suddenly asked: "Are Mr. Bao and Mr. Lin doing business?"
Bao Qing said with a smile: "Yes, do some small business to support the family."
"Oh, I really admire that you businessmen have good brains and can travel all over the world. However, you can travel to many places and meet many people. It's not like us who are very boring in the laboratory all day long."
Lin Wenzhao said: "Doing business is not about traveling around. You are too naive."
Yan Ling smiled slightly and said, "Maybe, I am too naive."
Bao Qing was a little tipsy after two cups of Erguotou. When he saw Yan Ling's smile, he couldn't help but get excited. This woman was single and very innocent. It seemed easy to get started with a little effort.
"What's your name, Miss?" Bao Qing looked straight at Yan Ling, with a look that wanted to swallow Yan Ling in one gulp.
Yan Ling smiled at Lin Wenzhao and replied: "My name is Yan Ling, Yan from Yanzi, Ling from Linglong."
Lin Wenzhao said in surprise: "You have the same name as my daughter, what's your last name?"
Yan Ling smiled and replied: "Mr. Lin, my surname is Xu."
Bao Qing said with a smile: "It turns out to be Miss Xu. Nice to meet you!"
After a few glasses of wine, Bao Qing became more courageous and decided to take action directly. Yan Ling ignored Bao Qing's thoughts as she was busy trying to get close to her father.
"Where is Mr. Lin from? From what you said just now, you should be married. Why didn't your wife come out with you?"
Lin Wenzhao responded slightly: "Anyway, like you, I am not a local here. My wife is taking care of the children at home." He seemed to be more cautious and unwilling to reveal too much to irrelevant people.
Naturally, Yan Ling didn't get to the bottom of it. After the meal, Bao Qing rushed to pay again. Yan Ling said hurriedly: "I was the one who invited you, how can I have the nerve to ask Uncle Bao to pay."
Bao Qing said with a smile: "Miss Xu, why should you be so polite? It is said that meeting each other is fate. Meeting Miss Xu here today is also a fate. Miss Xu is generous and generous. Bao Qing and I are determined to be your friend. If you don't see me outside, Just call Brother Bao or Brother Lin."
Yan Ling did not dare to call Lin Wenzhao "Brother Lin" no matter what, because she couldn't pass this test in her heart.
After leaving the restaurant, Bao Qing wanted to continue hanging on Yan Ling, which was exactly what Yan Ling wanted.
Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Bao Qing asked boldly: "What plans does Miss Xu have next?"
Yan Ling said: "I don't have any plans. I've already almost visited all the places I should visit."
"How about we drink tea somewhere else?"
Yan Ling was hesitating when she heard Lin Wenzhao say: "Don't drink anymore, we still have business to talk about."
"Old Lin, let's talk tomorrow. It's rare to meet a heroic girl like Miss Xu..." Bao Qing said and was about to hook Yanling's shoulder.
Yan Ling didn't think anything of it if she spoke quietly, but she wouldn't tolerate someone who moved hands and feet while talking. She also calmly blocked Bao Qing's hand, but Bao Qing insisted on touching it. Yan Ling's shoulder, Yan Ling was naturally not polite, she squeezed Bao Qing's wrist hard, Bao Qing felt pain at that time, and almost screamed out, the woman who looked soft and weak, did not expect that she was so strong It's such a big surprise.
Being pinched so hard by Yan Ling, he was half awake from the drunkenness. Yan Ling also took the opportunity to say in Bao Qing's ear: "Don't think I don't know what your intentions are. You want to drag him into trouble. What's the use of lying to him?" The imported good rice now requires capital turnover. In fact, you don’t even have any inventory, and the warehouse where the goods are placed is someone who acted to deceive him, right?”
Bao Qing's expression changed drastically, and he quickly asked: "How do you know these things? Who are you?"
Yan Ling said with a smile but not a smile: "Don't worry about who I am. I just want to warn you. Don't bully Mr. Lin because he just started doing business because he has a simple mind. If you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. You... It’s not like I haven’t seen this trick before, and I advise you to stop and change your ways as soon as possible, otherwise don’t blame me for not reminding you if you end up in jail one day.”
Bao Qing was no longer drunk. He looked at the young woman in front of him in shock. They had just met on the street. They had never known each other before. Why did she know his details so well? Who is this woman? ! Bao Qing was confused and went to see Lin Wenzhao again. Could it be that someone familiar to Lao Lin deliberately set up a trap to deceive him? Bao Qing already had doubts in his heart.
"So keep those frivolous things of yours in check and be honest with me." Yan Ling threatened him with a threatening tone.
When Lin Wenzhao saw the two of them chatting on the street, he was worried that his friend would cause some trouble, so he stepped forward and said, "Old Bao, we should go, I'm afraid we will miss the main business."
Bao Qing looked at Yan Ling with a pale face. He felt very guilty. Yan Ling suddenly put the camera in Bao Qing's hand. She smiled and said: "Mr. Bao, please take a picture of me and Mr. Lin..." Bar."
She has already adjusted the data and just needs to press the shooting button.
Lin Wenzhao was still a little surprised. Yan Ling pulled Lin Wenzhao and stood under the city wall, intending to use the city wall as the background.
"What is your intention in following me this morning?" Lin Wenzhao's perception was quite keen.
"Uncle Lin, I'm not a bad person, but I just want to remind you to pay attention to this bald man named Bao. You should be more careful and don't be taken advantage of. You can't afford to lose. Tens of thousands of dollars are all you have." The property is gone."
Lin Wenzhao looked at Yan Ling in shock, and Yan Ling whispered: "Keep your expression natural, and don't let that bald head notice anything strange."
"who are you?"
Yan Ling replied: "I'm just one of your juniors, uncle."
Sure enough, you are still in a dream, haven't you woken up yet? Lin Wenzhao became suspicious of the things around him. Bao Qing took photos for them, and Yan Ling went over and thanked her again and again. She was going somewhere else and couldn't follow them all the time, so she waved to them and said goodbye: "I'm very happy to meet you. Thank you Mr. Lin, otherwise I really can’t save my wallet. I wish you all the best.”

Chapter 173 Scandal Chapter 173 Scandal
However, when Yan Ling returned to the hotel, she discovered that the film had been taken, which meant that the photo with Lin's father had not been taken. She regretted it. It would have been better if she had not taken random shots in the morning and had two more films left. .
The short journey ended, but she would not regret taking this trip at all.
Will Dad be a little wary of the bald uncle this time? If he is not deceived, the trajectory of the Lin family will also change, but the relationship with Yan Ling is no longer significant.
After the vacation, Yan Ling returned to her two-point-one-line life.
Yan Ling came back, and that same day Yan Chun found Yan Ling and cried: "Sister, please help me."
Yan Ling was very surprised and asked quickly: "What happened?"
"Zhengrong and I had a fight, and it was all his fault. He and the girl in the band were still disconnected and unclear. I said something to him and he yelled at me. We haven't seen each other for several days now. "
Yan Ling thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be a quarrel between young couples. Isn't this normal? "Emotional matters require two people to trust each other. You should also trust him. The bassist is originally the woman in their band." Members, they rehearse together every day. Their band is a whole. Isn't it normal to have physical contact occasionally? He has chosen to be with you, so he can't just cut off contact with other members of the opposite sex. Not to mention that he is an artist, but you. An ordinary office worker can't cut off contact with male colleagues in the company, right?"
Yan Ling helped Zheng Rong speak, which was what Yan Chun expected. She angrily threw a newspaper in front of Yan Ling. Yan Ling picked it up and took a look at it. The most prominent position in the report was a photo. Although the man was wearing a hat, from the side, it could be seen that it was Chi Zhengrong. In the photo, he was with a woman. Embracing each other, the woman with short androgynous hair is obviously Rong Fengjiao, but Rong Fengjiao in the photo seems to have noticed the camera, and her face is exposed in the photo. A bold and black title on the photo read, "Sparks' lead singer and bassist are suspected of being in a relationship." Below was a paragraph of text that a reporter had speculated on. Yan Ling took a look and saw that they were all speculative reports. Not enough evidence.
"Then, do you take this report seriously?"
Yan Chun said with red eyes: "I didn't believe it at the time. I took the newspaper and asked about their bass player, but the woman told me that what you see is what it looks like. In other words, that's what it looks like. They really came together, isn’t this betraying me?”
Rong Fengjiao's words really made people suspicious. Yan Ling asked again: "Then how did you ask Zhengrong?"
"When I found him to question him, he definitely denied it. He said that he was secretly photographed by those reporters at some point. The two of them were a little unclear in private, and the same was true in the face of this report. Since it was a rumor, Why didn't he clarify with those reporters?" Yan Chun became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and later he started crying.
Yan Ling sighed, patted her shoulder gently, and shook her head helplessly.
Yan Chun then took Yan Ling's hand and said, "Sister, can you help me?"
"How do you want me to help you?" Yan Ling felt that it was inappropriate for her to intervene in this matter.
"Help me find out what Zhengrong means, and help me beat up the bass player and tell her that I am Chi Zhengrong's real girlfriend."
Yan Ling couldn't help but smile after hearing Yan Chun's words. She said, "You asked me to help you test these, then why don't you go on stage yourself?"
Yan Chun said: "I tried, but they don't take me seriously. Usually when I'm with him, he rarely even talks to me, and he hardly takes the initiative to hold hands with me, let alone anything else. Yet he is cuddling with other women in private? There needs to be an explanation for this."
Yan Chun's words made Yan Ling a little surprised. She knew best how Chi Zhengrong and Xu Yanchun became boyfriend and girlfriend. She always thought that Zhengrong and Yan Chun's relationship was not bad, but she didn't expect that Zhengrong was so interested in Yan Chun. Such indifference was something Yan Ling had not expected. What on earth was Zhengrong doing?
"You want me to come forward and talk to Zhengrong and let him give you a proper explanation, right?"
"That's what I mean. I also want you to help me find out what that woman's intentions are." Yan Chun has never felt safe.
Yan Ling smiled and said: "It's a small matter, but I'll tell you in advance. You may not be able to get the answer you want, so you'd better be mentally prepared."
The two sisters chatted for a long time in the garden downstairs. Later, Yan Ling said, "I will go directly to his place after get off work. Do you want to go with me?"
Yan Chun said: "It's not good if I show up with you. You go over first and help me find out before I decide the next step."
also! Yan Ling said goodbye to Yan Chun, and she returned to the office first.
Unconsciously, he still regarded her as his sister, but with a brother on one side and a sister on the other, it was difficult for her to be stuck in the middle.
When it was time to get off work, Yan Ling didn't ride a bicycle. Instead, she took the company's shuttle bus back to Chi Zhengrong's place. She still kept the key to Chi Zhengrong, so getting in was not difficult at all.
As soon as she entered the house, she smelled an unpleasant smell. The smell was mixed with the garbage that had not been taken out, the accumulation of dirty clothes, and the rotten food. The smell was really intoxicating. She quickly helped clean up, cleaned the house, threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and even returned the sheets and quilts on the bed. It's still winter and it's so smelly that if it's summer, I'm afraid I won't even dare to enter. Zhengrong wondered how many days he had not been at home.
Will he come back tonight? Yan Ling made a phone call first. After receiving the call, Zhengrong learned that Yan Ling was coming to his place and rushed back immediately.
"If I don't come here to help you clean up, your place will be no different from a pigsty. Don't you know how long you have been storing all those dirty clothes and they are already stinky?" Yan Ling was full of helplessness.
She looks like a well-dressed singer, but in private she is a sloppy person. If the media found out, they would be shocked.
Chi Zhengrong smiled: "It's better if you help me clean up."
Yan Ling shook her head helplessly. She gave Zhengrong the souvenir she brought back from Jiangyuan. It was just a wooden hanging tag. Chi Zhengrong said preciously: "Thank you for your gift."
"I don't know what you like, so I just bought it. By the way, do you know why I came today?"
Zhengrong naturally shook his head, and Yan Ling said again: "Of course I was entrusted by Yan Chun. What is going on with you two?"

Chapter 174 Playing Chapter 174 Playing
When Chi Zhengrong heard what Yan Ling said, he became more and more lazy. He slumped on the sofa, still holding the snack bag in his hand, and said casually: "What did she tell you?"
"What's going on with that report?" Yan Ling couldn't bear to see how casual he looked, so she gave him a gentle push.
"What report?" Zhengrong was still nonchalant.
Yan Ling punched him, Zhengrong frowned and said, "You violent woman, could you please be gentler?"
"What other reports can there be? Didn't that newspaper already publish a photo of you and Rong Fengjiao hugging each other? In addition to that random speculation report, I want to ask you to confirm that you and that Rong Fengjiao Sure enough, Jiao still has some ties to her, right?" Yan Ling never thought that one day she would be able to speak for Yan Chun.
Chi Zhengrong reached out and gently pulled the hair around Yanling's ears, and said casually: "Do you believe those entertainment reporters' reports?"
It doesn't matter whether she believes it or not. Yan Ling said: "I don't interfere with who you date and who you don't date. Yan Chun seems to be very angry this time, and you don't explain it to her properly."
"Oh, it turns out I'm here to investigate for her. She doesn't even believe me, so what else can I say? Fengjiao is a member of our band and we meet every day. Can't we even have contact? What if she can't stand it? If so, why don't you break up with me openly?"
Seeing his lazy look, Yan Ling felt a little angry in her eyes. Yan Ling's own love had become a mess, and she didn't want Zheng Rong to follow her old path. Besides, Yan Chun really liked him and regarded him as her everything.
"Break up? Is it so easy to say this word? Zhengrong, what do you think of feelings? Although I look down on Yan Chun in some ways, she really cares about you. You can't play with other people's feelings like this. . They are following you wholeheartedly." Yan Ling said a little angry.
Zhengrong couldn't help but smile after hearing these words: "You can't care about our affairs, so you might as well take care of yourself."
"I can't control it. If she hadn't called me sister and asked me for help, I wouldn't have wanted to make this trip. Zhengrong, I know she used some tricks to make your relationship go smoothly. In a sense, it is indeed a bit uncomfortable. It's shameful, but this girl doesn't have any bad intentions. She's very dedicated to following you and hasn't done anything to make you sorry. If you ignore her like this and don't explain things clearly, it seems like you're bullying her. To put it bluntly, It’s a bit unkind.”
"You come to me when you don't know anything. Go and tell her that if you want to break up, break up. I don't care." Chi Zhengrong was obviously unhappy.
Yan Ling just said a few more words and that was it. Yan Ling also felt aggrieved for Yan Chun. She said: "What kind of attitude do you have? No wonder she is angry. If there is any misunderstanding, you two can't sit together and communicate properly." Is the misunderstanding solved? You keep saying the word breakup all day long. What does it look like to the people around you? They think you are playing with the girl’s feelings. If you choose to be responsible in the first place, be responsible. You are also a man! "
Chi Zhengrong was stimulated by Yan Ling's words. He said, "Playing with feelings? I played with her, wasn't she playing with me? I haven't broken through her for so long, what else do you want from me."
Yan Ling was stunned, and then asked: "What happened to you two? Weren't you fine before? That time she took something out of your bag, and you didn't explain it clearly to her. The next day, she I forgive you, what do you want the little girl to do? You still love her, right? If you do, take some action and don't regret it later."
"I have never loved her. It has always been like this. Yan Ling, I will not lie in front of you."
Yan Ling looked at Zheng Rong in surprise, and she puzzled: "Since you don't love her, why did you choose to be with her? By the way, it was because of what happened to you when you were drunk that night... You chose to take responsibility. , but why doesn’t this place want to bear the responsibility?”
"I drank too much that night and was not very conscious. I was just a puddle of mud on the bed. Do you think I would do anything to her?"
Yan Ling was even more puzzled. If nothing happened that night as Zhengrong said, then why did he agree to date Yan Chun? What does this person think of love?
"You are drunk, and you are probably confused about what you did. If nothing happened, you don't have to think about taking responsibility and force yourself." Yan Ling keenly caught the loophole in his logic.
"Let me tell you, all the talk about having sex after drinking is a lie. Men do this because they usually have a thief heart but not the courage. They are just using alcohol to cause trouble, and they are not really drunk. If it is true, I'm drunk, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get hard, so how could it be possible..." Zhengrong said this, and then said: "I have never done anything, I know in my heart, and I will not take responsibility for the situation that happened in the first place. The responsibility cannot be settled, she is still your sister no matter what, but in fact there are other reasons..."
Having said this, Zhengrong had no choice but to continue: "At that time, Fengjiao and Houhou were having trouble, and they were pestering me. I couldn't help them, and thinking about the harmony of the band, I had to pull Yanchun out. Use it as a shield to make Feng Jiao give up."
"That means you took advantage of Yan Chun?"
"She can set up a trap to take advantage of me, so why can't I use it to her advantage?"
Yan Ling felt more and more unable to understand the man in front of her. She puzzled: "But she doesn't understand. She takes the relationship between you seriously. What can she get in return for her wholehearted devotion? Women are most afraid of being liked. If a man takes advantage of you, it’s not kind of you to do so. This method is obviously the most despicable, but you chose it.”
"Yan Ling, I will handle her affairs well. I have made it clear to her about some things, and she understands them. She is your sister, and I will try not to hurt her."
Yan Ling sneered: "In fact, you have already hurt her."
"So if she wants to break up, I will agree to her, so that we can get together and have a good time."
Chi Zhengrong thought simply, it was because he didn't love Yan Chun at all. On the one hand, he used Yan Chun as a shield, and on the other hand, he used Yan Chun as a substitute. Yan Chun used him, and he used Yan Chun. No one can be said to be noble in this emotional game. There are some things that Zhengrong cannot say to Yanling.
"You are such a gamer and don't take women seriously. You will be punished sooner or later." Yan Ling secretly sweated for Zhengrong.
"I don't take women seriously. These are just boring games. Yan Ling, I also want to tell you that I am not an affectionate person. I also have things that I value very much."
In Yanling's view, no matter what Zhengrong said, nothing could wash away the fact that the relationship between these two people was destined to not have a good outcome.

Chapter 175 Chapter 175
When Yan Ling saw Yan Chun the next day, Yan Chun couldn't wait to ask her: "Sister, what did he say?"
"Yan Chun, you should ask him personally. I'm not sure about his attitude." There were some words that Yan Ling really didn't know how to say.
Yan Chun didn't have much hope when Yan Ling was asked to find out. After hearing what she said, she lowered her head and said, "I'll go over there tonight and ask him what he means."
Yan Ling was a little hesitant. She was worried that the two of them would really get into trouble. After thinking about it, she added, "No matter what, you have to listen to him carefully."
Will these two people be okay? It was not a suitable day for her to show up again, so she worried about their relationship for the whole day. When she originally planned to go to work the next day, she asked Yan Chun to ask about the situation, but unexpectedly Yan Chun asked for leave the next day.
Something is a little abnormal. Did something really happen to those two people?
Yan Ling was a little lost in thought during the year-end report meeting. Pei Yunchuan glanced at her several times, but Yan Ling was completely unaware. At the end of the year, there are more and more meetings, such as summary meetings of various departments, planning meetings, etc., which can take up to half a day. Yan Ling couldn't help but yawned. The old man who was making a summary report was from the logistics department. Yan Ling's yawn was a bit loud and became the focus of everyone's attention. The old man making the report thought that the content of my report was so Are you bored? Pei Yunchuan's face became more and more solemn.
Yan Ling was a little nervous at that time. At this moment, she really wished there was a hole in the ground that she could get into.
It is January 8, 1998, less than 20 days before the Lunar New Year. I'll have a holiday after just two more weeks of classes. Ever since she started working in this company in May, Yan Ling felt that life was passing by so fast. Sure enough, it was already 1998 in the blink of an eye.
What big things will happen this year? Yan Ling thought of the floods. She had just entered kindergarten at that time, and she only learned about the severe floods this year from adults' mouths and online news.
The area where they live is a shallow hilly area, so the possibility of mudslides is unlikely. At most, it will be urban waterlogging. She also has to set several goals for herself this year.
Yan Ling wrote a few words in the notebook, but Pei Yunchuan suddenly came over. He knocked on Yan Ling's desk a few times. Yan Ling quickly closed the notebook, her face slightly changed and she looked a little nervous. She stood up quickly and asked, "Manager, what are your orders?"
"You come with me."
Yan Ling went to the office over there with Pei Yunchuan, feeling a little uneasy.
"I'm going on a business trip on Sunday this week, so prepare yourself. I've asked Ye Zhen to help book the air tickets, hotels, etc. You don't have to worry about these."
"Who is going together?" How should I put it? When a single man and woman go on a business trip together, it is inevitable that someone will gossip behind their backs. If only the two of them go this time, Yan Ling will have to find an excuse to refuse. If she can refuse, If so...after all, where suspicion should be avoided, suspicion should also be avoided.
"Me, you, Manager Yu."
It was from their technical team. Yan Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Yunchuan continued: "In addition to our department, there are also Mr. Wang and Manager Peng from the sales department."
"There are quite a lot of people this time, but where are we going?"
"Linhai, I have a meeting to attend, and it will take four days to come and go. After returning from the business trip, my work schedule for this year will be almost the same. I heard that the company will have a holiday from the 27th of the twelfth lunar month."
Yan Ling said: "That's only a few days away."
"You should also collect your thoughts and focus them all on your work." Pei Yunchuan did not reprimand Yan Ling too much, and only said this as a warning.
"I understand." Yan Ling bowed slightly.
"Okay, nothing happens. You can go back to your place."
Yan Ling turned around and left, gently closing the door when she came out.
"That's great, I have to go on a business trip again." Kong Ling showed envy.
"I think it's better to stay and go to work."
Kong Ling said hurriedly: "Then how about we switch? You work for me and I go on a business trip for you. Linhai, that place is really nice, and it is an international metropolis close to the sea. The real first line is much more prosperous than here."
Yan Ling had to finish the things at hand and then prepare to go on a business trip. Before leaving work that day, Yan Ling received a call from Chi Zhengrong, asking her to have dinner with her in the evening.
Yan Chun didn't come to work again. What happened to those two people? Maybe we could take the opportunity to find out.
After get off work, Yan Ling did not ride a bicycle and planned to take a taxi to the agreed place. However, she waited at the intersection for a long time and failed to find an empty taxi. As expected, it is difficult to take a taxi in winter. Yan Ling always paid attention to the time, and she had been waiting here for almost half an hour in the blink of an eye.
Just when she was getting impatient, she suddenly heard the sound of a horn behind her. Yan Ling turned around and saw that it was Pei Yunchuan's car.
Pei Yunchuan rolled down the window and said two words to Yan Ling: "Get in the car!"
Yan Ling hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, no, please go back first."
"Come up here." Pei Yunchuan even opened the passenger door. As soon as he stopped, there was almost a queue behind him. Yan Ling had no time to think and had to get in the car first.
"Go home?"
"No, I want to go to Fulong East Road first." They said they would eat together, but they didn't book a restaurant. They only said they would meet at the recording studio, so Yan Ling had no choice but to go there first.
"It takes at least half an hour to get there from here, right?" Not only is there a speed limit, but it's also easy to get stuck in traffic at this time.
"Yeah, I can get there in an hour and the incense is already burning." Yan Ling was really worried that they would have gone elsewhere by the time she rushed over. She was really not used to the era without mobile phones.
Although the two occasionally talked, the atmosphere still seemed a bit solemn, and Yan Ling could not feel at ease in front of this man. Fortunately, there were others on this business trip, otherwise she would have been embarrassed to death.
"How's that friend of yours?"
"Which friend?" Yan Ling didn't understand what Pei Yunchuan was talking about.
"The one who is the doctor."
"He has gone back to the imperial capital."
"Oh? You can't come back from this trip, right? Why didn't you go with me?" Pei Yunchuan occasionally gossiped.
Yan Ling glanced at Pei Yunchuan in surprise and replied, "Why should I go with him? I have my own work and my own life."
After getting the answer, he stopped asking any more questions. After walking for more than ten minutes, they were blocked under an overpass. From the window, I could see a red light flashing ahead. Pei Yunchuan turned on the radio, and an advertisement was playing on the radio.
With such a long queue, it would take at least ten minutes to pass through this section of road.
"Manager, do you usually get stuck like this after get off work?" You have to find something to talk about, otherwise the atmosphere will be too awkward.
Pei Yunchuan said: "It's better if I don't take this road. I can get home in fifteen minutes every day."
After saying this, Yan Ling felt very sorry, and she quickly said: "I'm sorry for wasting your time."
Pei Yunchuan looked indifferent: "It's okay, there's no point in going back so early anyway."

Chapter 176 A strange dinner party Chapter 176 A strange dinner party
Yan Ling didn't want to cause trouble to anyone, especially the man in front of her, but she still got into trouble with him, and she felt really bad about it. The BP machine in her bag kept thinking. Yan Ling took it out and saw that it was a call from Chi Zhengrong, but she couldn't call Zhengrong back at the moment.
Pei Yunchuan said to her, "I have Big Brother in my bag. Please call me back."
"Oh, okay, thank you." Yan Ling took down the man's briefcase in front of her, opened it and touched it a few times before finding the mobile phone. Pei Yunchuan turned on the lights in the car, and Yan Ling Ling hurriedly pressed the button to call back.
"Zhengrong, I'm sorry, I'm stuck on the road. I'm afraid I won't be able to reach you within twenty minutes."
"where are you now?"
"Below Caojin Interchange, we haven't reached the overpass yet."
"You and the driver can't talk about the overpass. Take Kangde West Road and then the Second Ring Road. I'm on Zirui East Road now. It is said that the road condition here is not bad." Chi Zhengrong quickly explained on the phone,
Yan Ling agreed: "Okay, just wait for me a little longer."
"There's no rush, come here slowly, we'll be waiting for you."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Ling told Pei Yunchuan the new route. After hearing this, Pei Yunchuan said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, otherwise we would have already arrived." There were cars in front and behind, and it was not easy for him to change lanes.
However, after changing the route, it was no longer congested, but there were a little more traffic lights. However, Zhengrong only told Yanling that it was at Zirui East Road, but did not say where to wait on Zirui East Road. When she got to the intersection, Yanling had to get off. Pei Yunchuan did not stop the car.
"We haven't arrived at the station yet. You should first look where the person you are waiting for is, but I think I have almost seen it." After driving for some distance, the car pulled over and stopped. Yan Ling soon saw Zheng Rong and the others waiting at the intersection.
"How do you know them?"
Pei Yunchuan said: "Isn't that girl your sister? She is the one in black clothes with long hair."
Yan Ling took a closer look, and sure enough, Yan Chun was there too. She opened the car door and got out of the car and glanced at her watch. It was almost 7:20, and it was already dinner time. He wanted to see her off and she should treat him. A dinner is offered as a thank you, but he will certainly refuse.
As soon as Yan Ling opened the car door, Chi Zhengrong came over. He was about to pay the fare when he realized it was not a taxi.
"I just said how could there be a big brother in the taxi? It turns out that a friend sent you here. It's time to invite your friend to have dinner with us." Zhengrong was very enthusiastic.
Yan Ling wanted to stop but it was too late. Zheng Rong knocked on the car window and Pei Yunchuan rolled down the window. Zheng Rong was a little surprised to see it was a man, but he still said with a smile on his face: "You are Yan Ling My friend, thank you for sending her here. But since you are already here, how about we invite you to have a meal with us?"
"Okay." Pei Yunchuan parked the car and turned off the engine.
Yan Ling looked surprised when she saw Pei Yunchuan coming down. Chi Zhengrong hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Pei Yunchuan and said, "Hello, sir."
Chi Zhengrong was tall. Pei Yunchuan raised his face slightly and said, "I am Pei Yunchuan."
"That's Mr. Pei, my name is Chi Zhengrong." Chi Zhengrong also quickly introduced himself.
Pei Yunchuan was not surprised at all. He said with a smile: "You are the lead singer of the band, right?"
"Yan Ling told you, right? It's cold outside. Let's go inside to talk. Mr. Pei will go first." Chi Zhengrong always seemed extra polite to unfamiliar people.
Yan Ling stood next to Yan Chun when she saw Pei Yunchuan walking towards them. The faces of the two sisters were full of surprise. Yan Chun gently pulled Yan Ling's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Why is Manager Pei here? ?”
Yan Ling had no choice but to say, "Just on my way."
"Oh." Yan Chun obviously didn't believe it.
Rong Fengjiao stood behind the Xu sisters. Rong Fengjiao asked Yanling in a low voice: "Have you changed your boyfriend?"
Yan Ling quickly explained: "No, he is just my leader."
"Oh, the boss is her boyfriend." Rong Fengjiao always believed this in her heart.
When they were in front of everyone, Chi Zhengrong introduced Pei Yunchuan to everyone. Hou Ganquan was indifferent and smoked there, but Fu Xing came up and shook hands with Pei Yunchuan. Rong Fengjiao also took the initiative to reach out her hand to shake Pei Yunchuan: "Hey, when you look closer, he is really a handsome man. He is completely different from our captain."
Hou Ganquan came over and slapped Rong Fengjiao on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, it's time to go in. It's really cold outside."
Pei Yunchuan was not familiar with these people, so he naturally walked beside Yan Ling. Yan Ling smiled awkwardly: "It's so late, it would be nice to have dinner together. They are all members of the band. Don't worry, manager." Restricted.”
Pei Yunchuan whispered: "Don't call me manager in private."
"Okay, Mr. Pei."
It seemed impossible to ask her to call her by her first name. Because the band was a public figure, they asked for a relatively private room.
After everyone sat down, Rong Fengjiao said, "Tingting hasn't come over yet."
"She probably won't be able to come. Didn't she have a boyfriend? She must be dating her boyfriend." Fu Xing said. After he finished speaking, he took another look at the people present, and then said: "You are all in pairs. I am left alone."
Then Hou Ganquan immediately asked: "Have you already fallen in love with Tingting?"
Fu Xing naturally would not admit it, he said: "It's nothing, don't make blind guesses."
The manager was not here, and Rong Fengjiao didn't care about anything, so Fu Xing got up to help prepare the food.
Chi Zhengrong was interested in Pei Yunchuan at the moment. He smiled and asked, "Has Mr. Pei heard of our band's songs?"
Pei Yunchuan waved his hand apologetically and said, "Sorry, I'm not very interested in these."
"Then how do you know about our band?"
Pei Yunchuan said, "Didn't she buy your concert tickets when she went to the imperial capital last time for a business trip, so she probably knows a little bit about it." Pei Yunchuan glanced at Yan Ling as he spoke.
"Ah, Mr. Pei was there that time? Then why haven't I seen you?" Chi Zhengrong was guessing what the relationship between the two was.
Pei Yunchuan smiled and said, "As I said before, I'm not that interested in these things, so I won't go to any concert to watch."
Chi Zhengrong nodded, and his eyes moved from Pei Yunchuan to Yan Ling. The two of them didn't seem to have spoken since they entered the private room. Even if they were sitting next to each other, they looked a little distant. Qiu Hai, does he know the existence of Mr. Pei? Does the breakup between the two of them have anything to do with Mr. Pei? When the heart of gossip comes up, I can't control it. Ever since Yan Ling moved away, it always felt like the distance between them was getting farther and farther. Thinking of this place, it feels a bit lonely at the same time.

Chapter 177 Accompanying each other Chapter 177 Accompanying each other
The band had a dinner together, and then three outsiders were added.
However, the Xu sisters were already familiar with the band, so the only real outsider was Pei Yunchuan.
When Yan Chun went to the bathroom, Yan Ling followed him, and the two started chatting outside the bathroom door.
"I didn't see you go to work today, so I thought something was wrong with you, but the situation has improved, right?" Although this relationship is very difficult, Yan Ling still hopes that the two of them can be harmonious.
Yan Chun said: "Looking at it now, maybe that's the case. If I ask him something, he can talk to me properly. I don't ask for much, so it's okay to just stay like this."
She is really easy to satisfy. Yan Ling observed carefully. Yan Chun and Zheng Rong were clearly next to each other, but the two of them never exchanged a word, let alone any other intimate gestures. Did they discuss it and decide to keep the status quo? But if both people can accept it, it has nothing to do with her as an outsider.
"Are you going back to Xigou for the Chinese New Year this year?" Yan Chun had already changed the subject.
Yan Ling said: "Why should I go back there?"
Why, didn't you grow up somewhere? But since you left with the Chi family that year, you haven't been back, and you don't regard Xigou as your hometown.
"It is said that the eldest brother is coming back during the Chinese New Year. I think we three brothers and sisters should also get together." Yan Chun felt that his relationship with Yan Ling had improved, so he naturally wanted Yan Ling to return to the Xu family. After all, Yan Ling is also the daughter of the Xu family. , this is a fact that cannot be changed.
Will Xu Jiantao, who was once imprisoned for theft, come back? Lu Lihong was mad because of Xu Jiantao's incident at first. She didn't have a good impression of Xu Jiantao. She only dated Yan Chun because of the important matter, otherwise she wouldn't want to get involved.
"Come back as soon as he comes back." Yan Ling's tone was very calm.
"My mother would be very happy if you could go back. After my father passed away, there were only a few people in the family. My eldest brother had been away for the past two years. During the Chinese New Year, my mother and I were the only ones at home. It was deserted." Yan Chun suddenly felt a little agitated. expect.
Yan Ling didn't say anything. She washed her hands and prepared to go back to the private room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that everyone at the table was smoking, including Rong Fengjiao who also lit a cigarette. Not only that, Pei Yunchuan also smoked. Seeing the smoke and bad air, she didn't even think about going in.
Yan Chun didn't mind. She went in first. When Yan Ling didn't follow, she turned around and asked her, "Sister, why don't you come in?"
Yan Ling said: "I'll take a rest." She went elsewhere to get some fresh air. Fu Xing was on the phone at the counter. Yan Ling took a look and thought that Fu Xing in their band looked more calm. Maybe this People are more suitable to be captains than Zhengrong.
Fu Xing quickly finished the call. When he was about to go back, he saw Yan Ling sitting on a chair outside, so he walked over: "Why did you come out?"
Yanling said: "They were all smoking. I couldn't stand the air, so I came out. Are you talking to your family on the phone?"
Fu Xing sat down next to Yan Ling. He smiled and said, "How do you know that I called my family?"
"You look very relaxed, so I guessed it like this. It seems I guessed it right. By the way, how are the sales of your new Christmas album?" Yan Ling has always been concerned about their results, but every time they meet, Zhu Zhengrong will be forgotten because of other things.
Fu Xing said with excitement: "It has just been put on the shelves not long ago, so I can't make complete statistics yet, but according to people in the company, the sales volume will probably double compared to the first one."
Seeing how happy he was, she knew that everything was going well. Yan Ling said: "This is good. You will definitely have smooth sailing and reach a higher level in 1998."
Fu Xing smiled and said: "That would be better."
"How old is Mr. Fu?"
Fu Xing said: "This year is 23."
Yan Ling was a little surprised: "I thought you were almost 30."
Fu Xing touched his nose and said, "Do I look that old?"
Yan Ling hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Mr. Fu, don't get me wrong. I think you are the calmest and most reliable one in the band, so I always thought you might be the oldest, but I guessed wrong."
Fu Xing smiled and said: "I can't be called calm, nor can I be called reliable."
"But they are very lucky to have you as their drummer." This is Yan Ling's affirmation of Fu Xing.
"You are kidding, how can I have this ability?" He said this in his mouth, but he was very happy in his heart.
The two lost track of time while talking. After a while, Zhengrong came over and knocked Fu Xing on the head: "Hey, what are you two talking about here? Are you so happy?"
Yan Ling smiled and said, "Just a casual chat. Have you all eaten?"
Zhengrong drooped his eyelids and said, "It's time to eat. It's getting late, so we should go back."
Pei Yunchuan stood at the back, his eyes following Yan Ling. It turned out that she could smile like this, and be lively, cheerful and talkative. She really doesn't look like the stereotypical woman at work.
After going out, Fu Xing first hailed a taxi. He, Fengjiao and Houhou got in first, and Chi Zhengrong waved goodbye to them. Pei Yunchuan also went to bring his car over. Yan Ling and Yan Chun sat in the back seat, while Chi Zhengrong went to the passenger seat.
Chi Zhengrong smiled sheepishly and said, "I'd rather trouble Mr. Pei to drive us."
Pei Yunchuan said: "It's okay, I'm just on my way. But I have to ask Mr. Chi, where do you live?"
Zhengrong told Pei Yunchuan their address, but neither of the two sisters in the back row spoke. Yan Ling sat in the back, looking at the lights outside and suddenly felt that the lights became hazy. Chi Zhengrong had been talking to Pei Yunchuan, but the two of them The conversation gradually became less clear.
Ten minutes later, they finally arrived at their destination. Chi Zhengrong thanked Pei Yunchuan and said at the same time, "Mr. Pei, please send Yan Ling back."
"a piece of cake."
Chi Zhengrong turned to call Yan Ling, but Yan Chun waved to him and said, "My sister fell asleep when she got in the car. Let her sleep a little longer."
"Then get out of the car quickly, don't wait any longer." Zhengrong urged her.
Yan Chun opened the door and got out of the car. This is where Zhengrong lives. It looks like he can stay here tonight. Zhengrong said goodbye to Pei Yunchuan again and said at the same time: "Be careful on the road."
Pei Yunchuan turned the steering wheel to make the car turn around, and then drove all the way in the other direction. But where does Yan Ling live? I've obviously been there once, by the way, Jinxiu intersection. But he didn't send her home that time. To be honest, he didn't know exactly which community she lived in, which unit or which floor she lived on.
Yan Ling was woken up by the cold. She opened her eyes and glanced at the lights outside. Later she realized that Zhengrong and Yan Chun had already gotten out of the car: "Where are they?"
"I got off the bus early."
"Then what road is this?" Yan Ling looked outside carefully and found something was wrong.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 178: Going Together Chapter 178: Going Together
"You're awake, then just tell me your specific address." Although Pei Yunchuan also thought about taking Yan Ling back to his residence, he was worried about being disliked by Yan Ling, so he hesitated.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Yan Ling got home. She freshened up and got ready for bed. Before going to bed she received a phone call.
"Yan Ling, it's me. I found a new hospital here for my internship. I just entered the emergency department as soon as I arrived, so I didn't have enough time." Jin Qiuhai's voice came from the receiver, and his voice was a little tired. .
But Yan Ling here heard him say that she was lagging behind in work and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "This is good. Having internships and classes in the same city saves a lot of trouble."
"I live in the school dormitory now, but the internship salary is lower than that there. It is said that the salary is only about 300 a month. Fortunately, I have food and rice. Otherwise, how can I live with this little money."
Listening to his complaints, Yan Ling knew that being fired did not cast a big shadow on Jin Qiuhai, and she felt relieved.
"It's okay. It's good that you have an internship in the hospital now. Just think of it as gaining experience and graduating smoothly first. Didn't you say you still have to take some important exams?"
"Well, there are still a few months until the exam, so I'm preparing."
Yan Ling encouraged him on the phone: "You are so smart, you can easily pass any exam."
"I'd like to lend you some good advice. However, there is a high probability that I won't be able to go back for the Chinese New Year this year. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to get together with you, but it seems that I can't."
The two of them finally hung up the phone without chatting for long. Jin Qiuhai will not come back here in the future. The big stage in the Imperial Capital can better display his talents. Everyone is working hard according to their predetermined goals, and the years are going well. This is the greatest happiness.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to go on a business trip to Linhai for four days. Yanling packed two sets of changes of clothes, brought some skin care products, and put her ID, wallet, etc. into her satchel.
After returning from Linhai, they will have a holiday. I have new projects coming up after the Spring Festival, so I’m afraid I’ll have to be busy again. It is said that there will be dividends before the Spring Festival, and I don’t know how much money she will get. After all, she has only been working for half a year, and her qualifications are very low, so she does not dare to expect too much.
The air conditioning temperature on the plane was set a bit high. Yan Ling took off her coat, revealing a black sweater underneath. Luo Yue, who was sitting next to her, pointed to Yan Ling's sweater and asked, "This dress is of good style. Are you wearing it?" Which store did you buy it from?”
Yan Ling smiled and replied: "I didn't buy it, it was knitted by my mother herself."
Luo Yue was even more surprised when she heard about it: "It's hand-knitted. It's really good. It looks very close-fitting and much better than ordinary hand-knitted sweaters. It looks like a woolen sweater from a big brand."
Yan Ling said: "My mother is very skillful with her hands. She can restore 99% of the sweaters that have appeared in magazines."
"It's great. I would be so happy if I had a mother like this." Luo Yue was truly envious, but it was a pity that her mother was not dexterous and could not even knit a scarf.
Yan Ling smiled. Although Lu Lihong had very skillful hands and was good at knitting, she couldn't bear to let Lu Lihong knit too much. Knitting hurt her eyes and hands. The clothes were enough to wear. Hand-made is good, but The one I bought is not bad either. It's not worth the loss to burn out your eyes for a sweater.
Luo Yue smiled and told Yan Ling which shopping mall in Linhai was the best and where there were many cosmetics counters. She is Mr. Wang's assistant and travels a lot with him, so she has rich experience.
"Shall we stay in the same room tonight?"
Yan Ling smiled and replied: "Okay." It was rare for a female colleague to go on a business trip with her, so she had company.
After flying for two hours, they finally landed. Luo Yue yawned and Yan Ling took off her seat belt. Later, I took a shuttle bus and left the terminal.
Everyone had to take a taxi to the hotel where they were staying.
The specifications of this hotel are higher than the one I stayed in in the Imperial Capital. It seems that it is because Mr. Wang is also traveling with us, so it is difficult to stay in a hotel that is too cheap.
Mr. Wang and Pei Yunchuan said: "At six o'clock, I will wait for you in the Western restaurant."
Pei Yunchuan hurriedly replied: "Okay, I will arrive on time."
Yu Qinghan helped push his suitcase. Everyone lived on different floors. Yu Qinghan lived on the 9th floor. Yan Ling and Luo Yue's rooms were arranged on the 10th floor. The manager of the sales department and Mr. Wang were on the 11th floor. Pei Yunchuan was alone. On the twelfth floor.
Luo Yue said: "It's really inconvenient to be spread out so far."
Yan Ling and Luo Yue went to the room on the 10th floor. There were two beds in the room. As soon as they entered the room, Luo Yue said, "I'll live in the one by the window."
Yan Ling said, "Okay, I don't care." Everyone put their things away.
Luo Yue and Yan Ling said, "There is nothing else to do today, how about we go out for a walk?"
"Aren't you afraid that Mr. Wang will find you?"
Luo Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's private time now. Let's go out for a walk. Staying here is boring."
Luo Yue forcefully dragged Yan Ling out of the room. Luo Yue was familiar with this place, so she acted as Yan Ling's guide. Luo Yue took Yan Ling out of the hotel, and then said to Yan Ling: "I remember that there is a cake shop nearby. The cakes are very good, except It’s hard to find similar taste anywhere else.”
Yan Ling couldn't help but think that Luo Yue worked really hard for a bite.
While the two were hanging out, Pei Yunchuan arrived early at the Western restaurant that Mr. Wang mentioned. He sat by the window and happened to see Luo Yue and Yan Ling leaving the hotel together.
He finished a cup of coffee before Mr. Wang showed up.
"Yunchuan, why did you arrive early?" Mr. Wang came over and sat across from Pei Yunchuan.
Pei Yunchuan smiled and replied: "I was afraid that I would miss my appointment here if I relaxed completely, so I came here in advance."
"Do you know what I'm talking about when I invite you here?" Mr. Wang was holding the menu and hesitating about what to order.
Pei Yunchuan nodded and said, "Of course I understand." His face was a little solemn. After flipping through the menu, Mr. Wang frowned and shook his head: "I'm not used to eating this Western food. I still think it's not as delicious as our braised pork."
The waiter next to him quickly introduced: "Guest, although we are a Western restaurant here, we also have Chinese food." Then he handed over another completely different menu.
Mr. Wang looked over and a smile gradually appeared on his face. He pointed to the signature dishes and said to the waiter. He ordered several dishes in succession before he stopped.
"Oops, I accidentally ordered too much. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it, so why not call them all over." Mr. Wang suggested.
Pei Yunchuan smiled and replied: "It would be nice to have dinner together, but your assistant and my assistant should go shopping now."
"Women are really keen on shopping." Mr. Wang was a little helpless. He called a waiter to give some instructions, and then said to Pei Yunchuan: "Is it true that I can't keep you? Are you determined to leave this time?"
(End of chapter)
Chapter 179 Decision Chapter 179 Decision
"Anliang, we agreed at the beginning that I would come back to help you for one year, and I would leave after one year. Now the time has come." This was the result of Pei Yunchuan's decision to return to China to discuss with Wang Anliang.
When Mr. Wang heard his determination, he knew that he was determined to leave, but he still wanted to retain him.
"You are a talented person. To be honest, I am reluctant to let you go. Do you really not want to stay in the country for a long time? The development momentum in the country is very good now, and it has not fallen far behind those Western powers. In fact, I think you will be a very good person if you stay. Good choice. After all, you are also a Chinese. Even if you are a foreigner outside, it will be difficult to integrate into their set of values."
Facing Mr. Wang's words, Pei Yunchuan fell into deep thought. He hesitated for a while before saying: "I want to spend a few years outside while I am young, and then return to my roots when I am old. In the future, you will also retire, and we will go fishing and drinking together again." Wouldn’t it be nice to have tea and play chess?”
Wang Anliang said: "I have just turned 30, and my career is flourishing, and I don't want to retire yet. I always feel that it's too late to wait until I'm 70 or 80 to do those things, so I want to make a good career while I'm young. After years of hard work, our brand has finally occupied a place among these domestic cosmetics. In the future, I want to go global, but this step is difficult, so I hope to get help from you, an old friend. Yunchuan, when you came back We agreed that you should help me wholeheartedly."
Pei Yunchuan replied lazily: "I have helped you wholeheartedly this year, but it's time for us to agree. An Liang, in fact, Yu Qinghan is also fully qualified for my position. You can just promote him."
"I don't really trust outsiders that much." Wang Anliang is still a little hesitant when it comes to hiring people.
While the two were talking, Yu Qinghan and Manager Peng came over, and the two people here also temporarily stopped talking. Since there were only four people, we didn’t change tables and chairs.
"It's rare for Mr. Wang to spend money, but there are two women who haven't arrived yet. I'll call them." Yu Qinghan volunteered.
Pei Yunchuan said: "The two of them went shopping, and it was just the four of us eating."
When Yu Qinghan heard that, he couldn't help but muttered: "I just went out for a walk when I got here, and I'm not afraid of getting lost."
Wang Anliang did not mention Pei Yunchuan's departure in front of others. What everyone discussed together was the content of tomorrow's meeting and the order. Everyone was chatting happily. Pei Yunchuan seemed a little indifferent, and his appetite was not that good. He ate something casually, drank half a glass of wine, and then put down his chopsticks and listened to his colleagues chatting.
The meal lasted for almost two hours and then dispersed.
Luo Yue and Yan Ling were still hanging out here. Luo Yue took Yan Ling to a delicious dessert shop and a high-end cosmetics store. Luo Yue bought a box of foundation, a lipstick, and a bottle of perfume in the cosmetics store. , these three items cost more than a thousand, which means that the consumption in one store is equivalent to Yanling's month's salary. Luo Yue is really good at shopping.
"You said our company has been producing skin care products, when will we introduce makeup?"
Faced with Yan Ling's question, Luo Yue replied: "The market for skin care products is larger. I think Mr. Wang is still considering the cosmetics aspect."
"It's true. If we add makeup, we have to introduce a new production line, and we also have to overcome the technical aspects. But I think it would be good to test out some fragrance series first."
Luo Yue smiled after hearing this: "You are a technical talent and know better than me. These new projects rely on your R&D department."
It was already late when the two returned to the hotel. Luo Yue went to take a shower first. Yan Ling sorted out the information needed for tomorrow's meeting. As soon as she opened the box, she heard the phone ringing. Yan Ling hurried over to answer it: "Hello. , this is room 1009."
"It's Yan Ling, right? Are you coming back?"
Yan Ling listened carefully and realized that it was Pei Yunchuan's voice. She quickly replied: "Yes, it's me. What can I do, manager?"
"I have nothing to do, I just called to make sure you are back. Then that's it, goodbye."
The other party hung up the phone proactively, and Yan Ling also hung up silently, wondering if he was worried about them, so that's why he called to confirm?
When Luo Yue came out of the shower, she asked, "I heard the phone ringing just now. Who called?"
"Our manager asked us if we were back."
Luo Yue wiped her hair and said to Yan Ling, "That cold-looking manager Pei actually cares about people."
Yan Ling thought to herself, in fact, he is not cold, he just doesn't like to talk much sometimes.
Luo Yue turned on the TV, and there was an advertisement on the TV. She didn't jump on the channel until the advertisement from their company came out, which immediately attracted the attention of the two women in the room.
I have to say that Xiang Duoduo's performance was spot on. As this year's popular actress, the company spent a lot of money to hire her to represent her.
"It's so beautiful." Luo Yue sighed.
Yan Ling smiled and said, "Yeah, it's even more charming through the screen." She still remembered that when Xiang Duoduo came to the company to sign the contract that day, many people came to watch. Kong Ling also got a signed photo, and then she and Yan Ling Ling said that female celebrities still look good on TV, but when they see her in real life, they feel they are too thin and their skin condition is not that good. Although there are no various filters and beautifications in this era, there are all kinds of lighting, and the camera already looks fat, so female celebrities are more demanding about their figures.
"Does she have a new drama coming up this year?"
"Really?" Yan Ling didn't care much about this.
"Yes, I heard that it is an ancient drama, and there is also a movie to be released this year. She is really popular. If we ask her to endorse again in 1998, I'm afraid the cost will increase a lot. It's better to be a It's easy for celebrities to make money, unlike us office workers who work hard and can't make much money after a month."
Listening to Luo Yue's complaint, Yan Ling said: "Being a star only makes you look glamorous on the stage. People outside may not know the suffering you suffer in private."
"That's their job. It's impossible not to suffer and be tired, right? We also endure hardships and tiredness, but what is the reward? Yan Ling, I don't even have a salary of 1,000 yuan now. It's been almost four years since I joined the company. It only rose to 900 at the beginning of the year." Luo Yue was a little dissatisfied with her salary, but she couldn't change it now.
As an assistant to the general manager, your salary is less than one thousand? Yan Ling was a little skeptical. However, the salary structure in most companies is relatively low, and the salaries of technical staff in their R&D department are already considered high.
The two of them usually didn't have much contact in the company, but because they were just two women here on a business trip, they suddenly became closer. Luo Yue is slightly older than Yan Ling. Luo Yue has a cheerful personality, loves to talk and laugh, and has no barriers to communication.

Chapter 180 Emergency Chapter 180 Emergency
I got up early the next day, had breakfast, and got ready to attend the meeting. Yan Ling and Luo Yue both put on formal attire. Yan Ling wore velvet thermal underwear next to her body and a dark blue suit outside. It was good that there was air conditioning in the room, but she would catch a cold if she stood outside for ten minutes.
Luo Yue put on makeup for Yan Ling and put her hair up, and she immediately emerged as a capable and strong woman.
"Yan Ling, you have a good foundation, but you don't usually like to tidy up. You see, just a little tidying up like this is enough to make people's eyes shine. No matter who thinks it is, you are a beautiful and charming white-collar woman."
Yan Ling was a little embarrassed to be praised by Luo Yue like this. She said with a smile: "There is no need to go through such trouble at work. After all, we often stay in the laboratory. Our laboratory management is strict. Wearing a mask is basically useless." No makeup.”
Luo Yue said: "That's right."
After the two of them packed up, Yan Ling took her bag and document bag and went out together. The meeting is in the conference center on the fourth floor of this hotel, which is convenient in the same building.
After the two arrived on the fourth floor, they saw Mr. Wang and Manager Peng talking about something. Yu Qinghan and Pei Yunchuan had not arrived yet.
Yan Ling sat down according to the name cards on the table, and people came in one after another. Later, Yu Qinghan also came, but Pei Yunchuan did not show his face. Yan Ling thought to herself that he must have overslept. Another ten minutes passed, but no one was seen, until Mr. Wang said: "You are Yunchuan's assistant. Go and see if he is still sleeping and has forgotten about it."
Yan Ling quickly got up and went upstairs to find Pei Yunchuan.
It took a while to wait for the elevator, and another ten minutes passed before she went up to the floor where Pei Yunchuan lived. Fortunately, she had a good memory and remembered the room number where Pei Yunchuan lived. She finally found the corresponding room, but after pressing for two minutes she couldn't hear the response from inside.
Is he going out? But she refused. She kept waiting at the elevator entrance and didn't see him. Yan Ling rang the doorbell a few more times, but Pei Yunchuan still didn't come to open the door. Yan Ling couldn't help but feel a little flustered. The administrator of the floor happened to pass by. Yan Ling explained the situation to her. The aunt was enthusiastic and quickly went to the studio to get a spare key and opened the door.
Yan Ling walked in and saw that Pei Yunchuan was still sleeping with his head covered. The meeting has already started and he is still sleeping. This man is quite powerful. Yan Ling stepped forward and called several times: "Manager, manager, it's time to get up for the meeting."
However, Pei Yunchuan still had no reaction. Yanling opened the curtains and saw that Pei Yunchuan's face was flushed and something was wrong. Was he sick? Yan Ling hurriedly stepped forward and touched his forehead. It was indeed very hot. Yan Ling quickly said to the aunt on the floor at the door: "He is sick, and he looks serious. Please call an ambulance."
The aunt was very happy and came over quickly to help dial 120.
Pei Yunchuan was only wearing pajamas. It was very cold outside, so he might not be able to wear just pajamas.
"Wake up, wake up." Yan Ling shouted several times before seeing Pei Yunchuan finally open his eyes. Yan Ling helped find clothes for Pei Yunchuan to wear. Pei Yunchuan was confused because of the fever and it was difficult to communicate. She spent a lot of effort and worked with the management aunt to help put Pei Yunchuan into a sweater and a coat, and then I put on my pants again and now I'm waiting for the ambulance to come.
Here Yan Ling asked the people at the front desk to help go to the conference room to ask for sick leave for Pei Yunchuan and her.
It took about twenty minutes for the ambulance to arrive downstairs. There was no one else around, so Yan Ling had no choice but to follow her into the ambulance.
"Doctor, what's wrong with him?" Yan Ling looked a little anxious.
The emergency doctor in the ambulance took a brief look, but didn't dare to draw a conclusion: "We won't know until we go to the hospital for further examination."
If it were 2020, people with such a fever would probably have been quarantined. Yan Ling prayed that Pei Yunchuan would be okay.
After finally arriving at the hospital, she was sent to the emergency room immediately. After about ten minutes, a doctor came over and urged her to pay for examinations, etc. In this completely unfamiliar place, she had to ask people everywhere. She finally paid the fee, half the time. I learned the test results hours later.
"It was a cold that caused myocarditis. The symptoms were serious and she needed to be hospitalized." The doctor asked Yanling to go through the hospitalization procedures again.
Yanling still held Pei Yunchuan's ID card in her hand. She ran up and down alone and managed to get Pei Yunchuan to the hospital smoothly. After Pei Yunchuan took the medicine, she hurriedly called the hotel and asked for help to convey to Pei Yunchuan. condition.
Taking care of patients is a hard job, and Yan Ling finally waited until it was time to rest. She moved a chair and sat beside Pei Yunchuan's hospital bed, always paying attention to the situation in the infusion tube.
Although he had taken medicine, Pei Yunchuan's fever had not been relieved, but his consciousness gradually regained consciousness. When Pei Yunchuan saw Yan Ling standing in front of him, he apologized and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"If you know it's trouble, get better soon. But the doctor said it's myocarditis caused by a viral cold. The problem may be serious and you need to recover slowly. You can't do a lot of exercise right away when you go back. You need to take good care of yourself." Yan Ling I got up and put some medicine in the bottle down.
Pei Yunchuan felt weak all over. He didn't understand why he suddenly fell ill. He was obviously on a business trip for a meeting, but he was admitted to the hospital on the first day.
After Yan Ling helped put the medicine in, she rushed to open the water and gave Pei Yunchuan the medicine he wanted to take.
Seeing that it was already noon, Yan Ling asked Pei Yunchuan what he needed to eat. Pei Yunchuan didn't have much appetite, so he said casually, which was the hardest thing. She had no choice but to buy light meals, porridge and side dishes suitable for patients.
When it was time to eat, she helped to lift Pei Yunchuan up and support the small table in front of him. Only then did she realize that the hand in which he was injecting was his right hand. Can the remaining left hand be used for eating? Yan Ling just went to find another spoon and said to Pei Yunchuan, "Try to eat it by yourself first."
Pei Yunchuan was right-handed, but he seemed a little clumsy when he suddenly switched to his left hand. He scooped up a few spoonfuls and either spilled them or didn't scoop them up at all. Yanling couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly said: "Let me feed you."
Pei Yunchuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "No, I can do it myself."
"Forget it, this porridge is not enough for you to waste. If you don't finish it quickly, I'm afraid it will get cold." When Yan Ling was helping to feed the rice, Mr. Wang and Yu Qinghan suddenly came.
Seeing this, Mr. Wang quickly comforted Pei Yunchuan: "Are you tired and sick? You should rest and recuperate until you recover."
Pei Yunchuan said apologetically. When Yu Qinghan saw that Yan Ling was the only one in front of him, he hurriedly said, "You haven't eaten yet. I'll watch over you while you eat first."
Finally, there is a replacement, and Yan Ling can feel relieved a little.
