Chapter 431 I understand everything
February 6th, the 2th day of the twelfth lunar month, marks the approaching Spring Festival, with the festive atmosphere growing stronger.
The lampposts lining both sides of the street are adorned with vibrant red accents, all derived from red lanterns and Chinese knots.
The two complement each other, giving the streets a fresh new look and making the whole city seem to be immersed in the atmosphere of the eve of family reunion.
At midnight on that day, the highly anticipated single "The Wind Rises," which had been promoted in advance, was released on major music platforms on time.
At this moment, Yu Huan drove his BMW at breakneck speed toward the Zaobao building.
Although it was nearly nine o'clock, the night seemed not to have completely dissipated. The sky was a dark gray, and the outlines of tall buildings were faintly visible in the hazy light, exuding a tranquil atmosphere.
Inside the car, however, was a completely different, lively scene.
The melodious tune of "The Wind Rises" kept looping in this small space.
Yu Huan's fingers seemed to be guided by the rhythm of the music, tapping lightly and precisely on the steering wheel to create a beat.
Lin Yourong's singing style and enunciation in "The Wind Rises" are quite different from the three songs in her EP album.
This song has an extremely wide vocal range, spanning a full sixteen degrees.
The verses cleverly utilize a large amount of warm mid-range vocals, perfectly creating the narrative atmosphere at the beginning of the song.
The highly recognizable and youthful voice entered his ears, and the powerful drumbeats resounded, creating wave after wave of sound waves in the narrow carriage. Each beat struck the depths of Yu Huan's heart, making him feel as if he had lost his weight and was floating.
This immersive music experience made him subconsciously press harder on the accelerator.
As a result, the little BMW sped forward like a wild horse off its hind legs on the empty road.
As Lunar New Year's Eve approached, the roads were sparsely trafficked early in the morning, allowing for smooth and unimpeded travel.
Only when the traffic light at the intersection ahead turned from green to yellow did Yu Huan hurriedly step on the brakes, bringing the BMW to a steady stop in front of the stop line, his body also leaning forward.
Yu breathed a sigh of relief and casually rolled down the car window a little.
A cold wind whistled into the car, dispelling the heat that had enveloped me from the rousing melody.
He breathed in the crisp, yet refreshing air when suddenly his cell phone vibrated in his pocket.
The ringtone sounded extremely faint, masked by the high-decibel sound system in the car.
Yu Huan quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, glancing at it.
Seeing that it was his mother calling, he pressed the mute button on the center console, and then quickly slid his thumb across the answer button.
As soon as the receiver was brought to her ear, Ms. Wu's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Huanhuan, today is a wonderful day!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan smiled brightly and said half-jokingly, "What good day? It's the child's birthday, the mother's day of suffering!"
"What you said sounds nice, but I don't feel bitter at all—hehe, your dad has a few words to say to you."
"Okay!" Yu Huan readily agreed.
After a brief, soft sound from the receiver, Lao Yu's slightly hoarse, smoky voice rang out: "Although there will definitely be a lot of things to do before the holiday, don't just focus on work. On your birthday, you should also treat yourself well."
Yu Huan quickly replied, "Dad, I know, don't worry."
Old Yu suddenly coughed softly, then lowered his voice and asked in a somewhat mysterious tone, "Let me repeat myself, You Rong will be coming back with you for the New Year, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but smile and gave a firm "hmm".
Old Yu's voice was immediately filled with undisguised joy: "Then your mother and I will go and prepare some gifts for you today, so you can use them when visiting relatives."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan recalled the large and small bags that Lin Yourong had brought home yesterday.
He couldn't help but smile slightly as he said, "No need. Rongrong has been quite busy these past few days, but she took the time to buy everything yesterday. You don't need to worry about it."
It seemed like the call was on speakerphone.
As soon as Yu Huan finished speaking, Teacher Wu's smiling voice rang out:
"Really? You Rong is so thoughtful, she thinks of everything! She's so busy with work, yet she still remembers these things. It's really hard on her. Huan Huan, you have to be more considerate of her, don't be so carefree."
Yu Huan's smile widened, and she replied, "Mom, I know what I'm doing."
At this moment, Yu Huan noticed that the red light had begun to flash and turn yellow.
So he quickly added, "Mom, I'll hang up now, I'm driving."
"Oh? It's already past 8:40, and you're still not at work? Okay, then be careful and drive slowly on the road." Teacher Wu's concerned voice came through the receiver.
Yu Huan replied with an "okay," and after hanging up the phone, her already pleasant mood became even brighter.
Place the phone on the armrest and then gently press the mute button on the center console.
To the accompaniment of this melodious music, Yu Huan gently pressed the accelerator, gradually accelerating and continuing to drive forward.
Before long, the little BMW came to a steady stop in the roadside parking space in front of the Zaobao Building Plaza.
As soon as Yu Huan got out of the car, a biting cold wind howled and hit his face. He exhaled a puff of white mist and felt refreshed.
Suddenly, a clear and sharp shout pierced his ears from not far behind him.
"Brother Yu!" The shout sounded particularly abrupt on the quiet street.
Yu Huan subconsciously stopped and turned around to look in the direction of the sound.
Wang Xianjiao, wearing a little red hat, was seen hurrying over from the bus stop.
She slowed down after running to the back of the car, hands on her hips, slightly out of breath, a few strands of hair falling messily around her face.
Wang Xianjiao let out a long sigh of relief, calmed her breathing slightly, and then said, "Brother Yu, I think I saw you get into this car when I got off work a few days ago, but I wasn't sure because of your back view. Brother Yu, I didn't expect that this BMW is really yours—" Yu Huan noticed the heavy dark circles under her eyes and that she looked listless. He smiled and emphasized, "This is my wife's car."
"Uh..." Wang Xianjiao chuckled, "Since it's my sister-in-law's car, it's definitely yours too. We're all family anyway!"
Yu Huan smiled and said, "Let's hurry up and go up, or we'll be late again because there are so many people waiting for the elevator."
He glanced at the attendance records.
Compared to this meticulous and punctual man, Wang Xianjiao was ten minutes late before, claiming to Chen Yaoyao that there were too many people waiting for the elevator...
After saying that, he turned around and strode quickly toward the Lianhe Zaobao building.
As she walked, Yu Huan glanced at Wang Xianjiao following closely behind. After a moment's thought, she asked with concern, "Wang Xianjiao, did you not sleep at all last night? Look at your dark circles, they're almost as heavy as a panda's. You look so listless. Is something wrong?"
"Hey! It's nothing! It's just that Susu released a new song, and as her die-hard fan, I naturally have to give her my full support right away!"
Wang Xianjiao's sleepy eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly began to speak:
"Brother Yu, I really didn't sleep well. Su Su's new song is absolutely amazing. I listened to it on repeat all night in bed and couldn't stop! I was listening to the song in bed and discussing it in the Little Seedlings group. Before I knew it, it was already past five o'clock... I only slept for two hours."
The voice just fell.
Wang Xianjiao watched Yu Huan's light-footed figure as a cold wind swept by, and she couldn't help but sniff, suddenly realizing that something was wrong.
Realizing that his words and actions just now seemed somewhat inappropriate.
After all, this Brother Yu in front of her was not only a fellow enthusiast, but also her direct supervisor.
With a quick change of thought, she hurriedly emphasized, "But Brother Yu, you can rest assured, I've already made preparations. I have four packs of coffee in my pocket, so it's absolutely impossible for me to miss the morning's work! Besides, I'll take a nap for an hour or two at noon, and I guarantee I'll be full of energy in the afternoon!"
Yu Huan shook her head helplessly after hearing Wang Xianjiao's words: "Health is the foundation of everything. Don't ruin yourself."
The couple went to bed early last night, maintaining a very regular schedule.
"Brother Yu, I know, it's just a special case, Su Su's new song is out! I have to say, Mr. Y's work is truly amazing! He handled the lyrics, music, and arrangement all by himself! The Little Seedlings group was buzzing last night, everyone was discussing how Mr. Y seems to have only written songs for Su Su, and every single one of them is incredibly good! Sister Mengmeng suddenly popped up in the middle of the night and said that Mr. Y is also a fan of Su Su, and then Sister Ru, who usually never speaks in the group, surprisingly posted four words, 'Those who know, know,' which confused us Little Seedlings. We discussed it all night, but couldn't figure it out—in short, nobody really understands."
The enthusiastic voice reached Yu Huan's ears, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Without turning his head, he continued walking forward, the image of Wang Xianjiao behind him, with dark circles under her eyes but still looking energetic, flashing through his mind.
He said in a lighthearted and humorous tone, "Although this song is indeed quite nice, I listened to it on repeat the whole way here, but I have to remind you that today's work is very demanding. When you go to work later, be careful not to doze off, otherwise, Chen Yaoyao might deduct your performance bonus."
"Brother Yu, don't worry! I promise I won't make any mistakes. I'll put in my best effort and complete the task perfectly!" Wang Xianjiao made a solemn promise, her voice resounding.
The two walked one after the other, passing the flower bed and then climbing the steps.
Wang Xianjiao followed closely behind Yu Huan into the lobby, sporting dark circles under her eyes, and humming a little tune involuntarily: "Walking and stopping along the way~ following the traces of the boy's drifting..."
In the dimly lit and quiet office, with a crisp "click," the incandescent light on the ceiling suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.
Yu Huan walked behind the desk, reached out and pulled out an office chair, and plopped down in it.
I habitually took my phone out of my pocket, turned on the screen, and glanced at it.
Noticing that Xie Gouhua had sent him two QQ messages not long ago, he raised his eyebrows slightly, unlocked his phone, and took a look:
'Happy birthday!
"Huan'er, has your wife returned to Xingcheng yet? Aren't you going to host a dinner party tonight?" This was followed by a grinning emoji.
Yu Huan smiled and tapped the screen lightly with her fingertips, replying:
"Thanks, Dog. I'm really busy at work these last two days before the holiday, so I'm afraid I won't have time to set up a table. Let's get together properly after the New Year when we have more free time."
"Great, you're a big boss now!" Xie Gouhua replied instantly after the message was sent, followed by a teasing dog emoji. "But I understand, you're a busy man, boss. After the New Year, I'll have to bring my family and give you a good beating."
Yu Huan's smile widened as she looked at the three pop-up message bubbles. She replied, "No problem, we'll treat each other to something nice then."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Gouzi, Yu Huan put down her phone and turned her attention to business.
He skillfully pressed the power button, and as the computer emitted a soft whirring sound, he fell into thought for a moment.
After entering the password and logging onto the desktop, Yu Huan immediately opened her work email and began assigning Li Xiaoyu a special task.
His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard:
Editorial Team Member Li Xiaoyu:
Early this morning, popular singer Lin Su released her single "The Wind Rises" on major music platforms, generating a huge response and buzz online. Please compile a music review, striving for comprehensiveness, objectivity, and depth, highlighting our newspaper's professionalism and unique perspective, to present readers with a high-quality music review article.
Regarding the length of the content, it is recommended to keep it between 500 and 1000 words to ensure the conciseness and readability of the article.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
'Yu Huan.'
Yu Huan clicked the mouse lightly, sent the email, and then leaned back slightly, resting her entire body against the back of the chair.
His gaze swept across the table, then he reached out and picked up the large thermos cup that was next to the keyboard.
Skillfully unscrew the lid, then tilt it slightly and pour steaming hot water into the mug, ready to let it cool before drinking.
As hot water is slowly poured in, the originally jet-black mug gradually reveals the graceful silhouette of a deep blue satin dress.
In the center of the stage, Lin Yourong stood gracefully, her long, wavy hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, making her even more beautiful and charming.
Her slightly parted red lips approached the microphone, as if she would utter a melodious song at any moment.
The charm of a singer lies on stage, and Yu Huan has high expectations for Lin Yourong's performance on the show "I Am a Singer".
He finished pouring the water and was screwing the lid on his thermos when his phone, which was on the edge of the table, suddenly vibrated and gave a short message notification.
Yu Huan picked up her phone to check and saw a text message from a contact named 'Wu Le':
"Brother Yu, Brother Wu and the other side have finalized everything. It'll be at noon today. Brother Wu and the director of the demolition office will also be there."
