Chapter 527 Go and attend to your important business!
Yu Huan walked leisurely and slowly around to the desk and sat down. She placed the thermos cup she was carrying in her left hand on the table. The metal cup collided with the wooden table, making a crisp sound.
Suddenly.
"Brother Yu!" Big Brother Wu's loud and clear voice, carrying a fiery energy, instantly pierced through the phone's receiver and reached his ear. "Good morning! I heard your company started work today. Are you so busy you barely have time to breathe?"
Yu Huan's lips moved unconsciously, and her mind raced. In just a moment, she had come up with a response.
He responded enthusiastically, "Brother Wu, that's right! It's the first day of work today, and I've had a lot of things to do. I rushed off to a meeting just now and even left my phone in the office. By the way, Brother Wu, I haven't had a chance to properly thank you for the Spring Festival gifts you sent. We definitely need to get together sometime; I'll treat you and show you some hospitality!"
His words immediately made Brother Wu burst into laughter on the other end of the phone.
“Brother Yu, you’re being too polite! That little bit of food is nothing to brag about. I’ve been wanting to invite you to dinner for a while, but I was afraid of interfering with your work. But I do have something important to tell you today.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan subconsciously sat up straight and asked, "Oh? Brother Wu, what's the matter? Tell me."
Brother Wu said with a light laugh, "It's nothing particularly important. The demolition office officially started work today, and Director Zhang is overseeing things on Xiangchun Road. If you have time, just go and sign the demolition agreement with him."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan unconsciously began to tap her fingers lightly on the smooth tabletop, producing a rhythmic, subtle tapping sound.
He recalled his earlier private conversation with Director Zhang, a smile appearing on his lips, his tone gentle and sincere.
"Director Zhang is indeed a very busy person! He must have put in a lot of effort to coordinate all parties during this demolition work, and he has truly made great contributions to the city's development. I'll contact a few reporters right away and have them go to the site to follow up and report on the progress of the work."
Big Brother Wu's hearty laughter boomed from the receiver like a bell: "Brother Yu, you're truly a generous man!"
Yu Huan continued, "This demolition is of great significance to the development of Xingcheng. Director Zhang and his team are working tirelessly on the front lines. It is only natural for us to help promote the work and let more people know about the hardships behind the demolition."
At this point, Yu Huan secretly thought to himself that his watertight speech was becoming more and more slick, making him sound just like a seasoned old fox.
He couldn't help but smile silently.
However, this body in its early twenties truly houses the soul of a seasoned veteran.
With a change of heart, he continued, "Then I'll trouble Brother Wu to send me Director Zhang's mobile phone number. I'll take some time at noon to go over and sign the demolition agreement."
"Brother Yu, you truly are a young man of great talent! You act decisively and efficiently, without any hesitation." Brother Wu's praise was as loud as a bell. After a slight pause, his tone became even warmer. "I'll send you Director Zhang's phone number via text message right away. If you're coming over at noon, I'll let him know beforehand. If he knows you arranged for reporters to cover this, he'll be overjoyed. You've done him a huge favor. By the way, Brother Yu, how about I send a car to pick you up?"
Yu Huan smiled slightly and replied in a clear voice, "Brother Wu, sending a car is too much trouble. It's convenient for me to drive there myself. I have a bunch of important things to deal with right now, so let's talk properly next time."
The voice just fell.
The cheerful voice of Brother Wu came through the phone immediately: "Alright, Brother Yu, see you at Xiangchun Road at noon!"
Yu Huan understood the implication in his words and knew that he would also be there at noon. She smiled slightly and replied, "See you at noon!"
With that, he lightly traced the hang-up button with his long, slender fingers, ending the call.
Since the phone call mentioned contacting reporters to go to the scene for on-site reporting, this matter cannot be taken lightly and must be implemented as soon as possible.
Yu Huan unscrewed the thermos and poured hot water into the magic cup, where wisps of steam instantly rose into the air.
In an instant, the black cup underwent a miraculous transformation, and Lin Su, dressed in a dark blue dress, appeared lifelike on the cup.
He gazed at his radiant wife reflected in the glass, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.
Recalling her previous conversation with Director Zhang, Yu Huan knew that Director Zhang's demands could not be met by simply posting a Weibo message. What he really wanted was to publicize his achievements in the newspaper.
Yu Huan did not intend to go directly to the people she knew in the reporter department.
In his view, to avoid unnecessary trouble, one should follow the proper procedures if possible.
Besides, this is such a trivial matter that it wouldn't alarm someone as important as Old Lin.
Yu Huan recalled Zhang Ge, with whom he had a relatively good relationship when he was a proofreader; Zhang Ge had now been promoted to head of the editorial department…
He skillfully reached for the mouse, quickly opened the QQ software, and precisely found Brother Zhang in the densely packed contact list.
After the dialog box popped up, Yu Huan leaned back slightly, settling comfortably into her office chair with a focused expression.
After a moment's thought, he began to type text methodically on the keyboard...
Time slips away quietly in the midst of our busy lives, and in the blink of an eye, the clock on the wall is approaching twelve o'clock.
Yu Huan snapped out of her busy work, picked up her phone from beside the mouse pad, and gently turned on the screen.
Only then did I realize that at 10:40, I had received a new text message from Brother Da Wu.
Brother Da Wu not only sent over Director Zhang's phone number, but also specifically noted that he had arranged to have dinner with Director Zhang at 11:30, and that the two of them would go to his shop together a little after 12:00.
Seeing this, Yu Huan quickly picked up the cooled boiled water on the table, gulped down a mouthful, and then hurriedly got up and walked towards the door.
However, just as he reached the door, the tightly closed door was pushed open gently.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Xianjiao poked her head in, her eyes darting left and right, and her gaze met Yu Huan's.
Seeing Yu Huan rushing out, Wang Xianjiao's face instantly lit up with a warm smile. She teased, "Brother Yu, in such a hurry, are you heading to the battlefield? But I also have something important to discuss with you!"
"Oh?" Yu Huan's lips curled up, revealing a set of white teeth, and she smiled brightly.
He took a large step back, stepping aside to make room for her, and gestured for her to come in. He continued, "Stop beating around the bush! Tell me quickly! I haven't even had time for lunch; there's an urgent matter waiting for me outside!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xianjiao quickly turned around and gently closed the door with a "click".
She walked briskly to Yu Huan and said concisely, "Brother Yu, yesterday before I left, I mentioned the studio to my dad." Hearing her mention it, Yu Huan immediately became interested, his eyes showing curiosity as he pressed, "What was your family's reaction?"
Wang Xianjiao let out a long sigh, her expression slightly helpless. She said with a sigh, "Brother Yu, I didn't dare tell my mom at all. When she gets angry, it's like a firecracker. After my dad heard about it, he didn't say anything. He just sat on the sofa and smoked one cigarette after another. Then he told me that since I'm working outside, they can't control me. He said that I'm a college graduate, so I must understand things better than them. He told me to make my own decision."
“I see.” Yu Huan nodded with a smile, her tone resolute, and patted her chest to assure him, “Wang Xianjiao, don’t worry! Joining the studio is definitely a wise move. Compared to staying in the new media department, there is much more room for development.”
Hearing this, Wang Xianjiao scoffed and said half-jokingly, "Brother Yu, after all, it's your wife's studio—"
Yu Huan coughed lightly, lowered her voice, and suddenly interrupted her: "Keep your voice down! Walls have ears, don't say things like that."
Wang Xianjiao nodded hurriedly, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "With your current fame, the studio's future is definitely bright! I'll post some photos of me and you to show my parents, and I think they'll understand."
Yu Huan's lips curled into a playful smile, her gaze teasing: "You haven't even officially joined the studio yet, and you're already thinking about taking a photo with your sister-in-law? Is it to convince your parents, or are you just too eager to be a fan—"
Wang Xianjiao suddenly coughed loudly and exaggeratedly, interrupting Yu Huan with a grin: "While fulfilling my dream, I can also increase my credibility with my parents. It's a win-win situation!"
"Alright then." Yu Huan shook her head, unable to suppress a laugh.
He stepped forward and reached out to turn the doorknob: "Let's not talk about it now, there'll be plenty of time later. I have something urgent to deal with at noon."
Wang Xianjiao understood immediately, gave an 'OK' sign, and looked at Yu Huan's back as she called out with a smile, "Brother Yu, go ahead and get busy with your important business! We'll continue our chat when you have time."
"it is good!"
Yu Huan responded, took out a mask from her pocket, put it on neatly, quickened her pace, and hurriedly left the house.
About fifteen minutes later, the little BMW sped along and arrived at Xiangchun Road.
The streets were deserted, with only a few pedestrians hurrying by; the trees swayed violently in the cold wind, their dry branches creaking and groaning as they collided with each other.
As soon as Yu Huan opened the car door, a gust of biting cold wind rushed in, cutting across his face like a knife, making him squint.
He looked around and noticed that his little BMW was the only one parked nearby; Brother Wu and Director Zhang obviously hadn't arrived yet.
Yu Huan gently pulled the door shut with a "click," and the door closed perfectly.
He walked briskly, quickly arrived at the shop door, took out his key from his pocket, and unlocked the door.
As soon as the door opened, a stuffy, stale air rushed in, and Yu Huan subconsciously held her breath slightly and took a small step back.
He waited until the strange smell dissipated slightly before stepping inside.
After entering the room, Yu Huan reached out and pressed a row of switches on the wall. Instantly, all the lights in the room turned on, dispelling the darkness.
Instead of rushing to call and urge him, he leisurely walked to a table near the entrance and sat down calmly.
Not long after, Yu Huan glimpsed through the glass door that three cars were slowly driving up the street and stopping one by one on the side of the road.
Seeing this, he calmly took out a box of He Tianxia from his pocket, deftly tore open the plastic wrapping, then stood up and greeted him with a smile.
As the door of the Mercedes-Benz MPV slid open, Brother Da Wu's tall and muscular figure emerged from the vehicle first.
The cold wind swept across the street like sharp blades, but it did nothing to cool down Brother Wu's enthusiasm.
His cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, and he called out from afar, his hearty laughter cutting through the howling wind: "Brother Yu! Sorry to keep you waiting!"
"I didn't have to wait long, but thank you for your hard work, Brother Wu!" Yu Huan replied with a smile.
At the same time, he glanced at Director Zhang, who was getting out of a Volkswagen.
Director Zhang was slightly thin, wearing a crisp executive jacket, his hair neatly combed and not a single strand out of place. After getting out of the car, his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings before he strode steadily toward the shop.
Besides Brother Wu and Director Zhang, the accompanying personnel also got out of the car.
Yu Huan glanced at the cigarettes in his hand and thought that one pack should be more than enough to distribute to everyone.
With a smile in his eyes, he walked briskly forward, casually pulling three cigarettes from his pack. He first offered one to Brother Wu, then turned to Director Zhang and said warmly, "Brother Wu, Director Zhang, the wind is really strong today, like a knife. Please come in and have a seat..."
A young body harbors the soul of a seasoned veteran; he handles this situation with complete ease.
Although Yu Huan was wearing a mask, his warm gestures and polite greetings made everyone present feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.
The group filed in and entered the shop. Yu Huan and Director Zhang sat facing each other at a table near the entrance, while the others formed a circle around them.
Yu Huan took the demolition agreement from the staff member and carefully read through it.
The terms of the agreement were clear and concise, and the amount of compensation he saw made him very satisfied.
The compensation is three times the original price of the shop, and considering all aspects, this compensation is quite substantial.
He recalled that when he bought the shop, he spent a total of 1.35 million yuan including the deed tax. Now, including various miscellaneous items, the settled compensation amount is as high as 4.27 million yuan.
Yu Huan was eager to get the funds for investment, and his words throughout the conversation conveyed a sense of urgency.
Director Zhang naturally understood his implied meaning. He nodded slightly, pushed up his glasses, and explained with a warm smile, "Brother Yu, the demolition work involves many aspects and complicated procedures. Forty-five working days to get the money is already the fastest we can arrange."
Yu Huan's smile remained unchanged as she sincerely replied, "Director Zhang, this funding plays a crucial role in my subsequent plans. I hope that within your authority, you will do your best to expedite the process."
Director Zhang pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "No problem. I'll assign someone to follow up on this matter and try to get the funds in the account ahead of schedule." (End of Chapter)
