The young couple chatted back and forth as the green light at the intersection quietly turned on.
Lin Yourong raised her eyes slightly, deftly placed her hands back on the steering wheel, lightly pressed the accelerator, and drove the BMW forward again.
The vehicle swayed slightly. Yu Huan, sitting in the passenger seat, bent down listlessly, reached for the footrest, and picked up two bright red gift bags that were lying there.
He untied the ribbon bow with great interest, slowly rummaging through the items in the bag while muttering to himself:
"A box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates, hazelnut flavor, not bad, looks delicious... two packs of 'Harmony Brings Wealth'... a 300-yuan voucher, wow! It's even a direct discount voucher, '300 yuan,' quite a generous offer... a business card..."
As Yu Huan spoke, she lowered her head and carefully examined the pink and gold-embossed business card in her palm, making clicking sounds under her breath.
"They've prepared quite thoroughly, with chocolates, cigarettes, restaurant vouchers, and even business cards. This little sapling from a wealthy family knows how to get things done; their calculations are quite impressive—"
Lin Yourong, who had been focused on the road ahead, burst out laughing when she heard him say that.
She gave him a coquettish glance and said, "A sapling from a family with a mine? What kind of adjective is that!"
Yu Huan stuffed the business card back into the gift bag and replied in a serious tone, "Spending over 100,000 yuan in one night for your idol without even blinking an eye, you must be rich, right? My description couldn't be more apt."
Lin Yourong held the steering wheel steadily and gave a soft "hmm" sound through her nose.
A teasing smile played on her lips as she continued, "In my opinion, from today onwards, he'll be a complete fan of your looks. You should be thrilled to have such a devoted fan!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan waved her hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile, "Please spare me! You're still secretly happy..."
After saying that, he glanced at the other gift bag.
Seeing that the contents were identical, he casually tossed it back onto the footrest, then leaned back and slumped back into his seat.
Yu Huan put her hands behind her head and continued to stare listlessly out the car window.
Lin Yourong was completely focused on driving, slowly passing by Simenkou, north of Huangxing Pedestrian Street, in her BMW.
Outside the car window, a scene of extreme prosperity unfolded, the lights as bright as day, colorful neon lights intertwined wildly, and surging crowds came and went...
A night's time is like sand slipping through your fingers, fleeting in the blink of an eye.
It's the last Monday before the Spring Festival, and the festive atmosphere seems to be getting stronger. However, along with this comes a mountain of complicated tasks that urgently need to be dealt with.
Today's morning meeting of the New Media Department also included the crucial agenda item of selecting group representatives.
So, at 7:30, Yu Huan fought off her sleepiness and tiptoed out of her warm bed.
The first rays of morning light quietly streamed into the room.
At this moment, Lin Yourong was sleeping soundly, her long hair cascading down her pillow like a waterfall, her cheeks flushed, her eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream.
Yu Huan, dressed neatly, turned around and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, a smile unconsciously spreading across her lips.
He gently turned the doorknob, and the soft "click" sound was particularly clear in the quiet morning.
Stepping slowly out of the warm, cozy bedroom, the unique chill of a winter morning instantly hits you.
Yu Huan involuntarily shivered, instinctively tucking her neck into her collar, quickly rubbing her hands together, slipping on her slippers, and hurried towards the bathroom.
After quickly washing up, Yu Huan simply ate a piece of tiramisu. The rich and mellow cocoa aroma spread on her tongue, instantly dispelling some of the drowsiness and boredom she felt after just waking up.
After getting ready, Yu Huan didn't dawdle any longer. She sipped her whole milk through a straw and strode down the stairs.
After driving his BMW out of the garage, he arrived at the Zaobao building in less than fifteen minutes.
Since it was still early, there were only a few figures in the spacious hall.
A cleaning lady in simple overalls was holding a mop and bending down to meticulously clean the floor along the corner of the wall.
The wet mop left clean streaks of water wherever it went, like silver snakes shimmering under the light.
Yu Huan slowed her pace, stepping onto the polished floor that reflected her image, and walked straight to the elevator, raising her hand to press the button.
With a crisp "ding," the elevator doors, which were stopped on the first floor, slid to the sides, slowly revealing the bright space inside the car.
He had just taken a step forward, and before his front foot had fully touched the ground, he heard a sharp, penetrating shout coming from not far away.
"Brother Yu—!"
The voice was loud and urgent, instantly echoing in the empty hall.
Yu Huan raised her hand to hold the door frame to prevent the elevator door from closing.
Turning my head to look in the direction of the sound, I saw Wang Xianjiao, wearing a bright red woolen hat, taking small, quick steps as if she were running towards the elevator.
At the same time, the cleaning lady's heavily accented Mandarin suddenly echoed in the lobby: "Sister, slow down! The floor is slippery, don't slip and fall!"
Ignoring the cleaning lady's instructions, Wang Xianjiao quickened her pace and reached the elevator in the blink of an eye.
Seeing her hurried manner, Yu Huan had some guesses in her heart and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her nose.
Wang Xianjiao suddenly stopped in her tracks, her bright, eager, and excited eyes fixed on Yu Huan.
When she spoke, her voice was still trembling slightly from running so fast: "Brother Yu, I saw you coming in from afar, and I ran all the way here. I finally caught up with you!"
"Please come in first." Yu Huan stepped aside to make way for the sedan chair.
He wore a gentle smile and didn't seem particularly surprised by it.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xianjiao darted into the sedan chair, not forgetting to press the button for the twelfth floor with a light tap of her finger, the action completed in one smooth motion.
Yu Huan slowly raised her hand, took off her mask, and stuffed it into her pocket. A faint smile played on her lips as she greeted him, "Wang Xianjiao, why are you here so early today?" She was usually a true spotter.
Wang Xuanjiao did not respond immediately. Instead, she looked down and rummaged around in her shoulder bag for a while before pulling out her phone.
She took a small half-step toward Yu Huan, and after a series of rapid taps on the screen, she gripped the phone with one hand, her arm almost straight, and raised it high.
The phone was practically shoved in Yu Huan's face, and he was urgently gesturing for him to look at the screen.
"Brother Yu, let me tell you, I really never expected this! You actually know Susu, and you even sit at the same table with her for dinner!"
As soon as Wang Xianjiao opened her mouth, her volume suddenly rose, words flew out in rapid succession, her speech was as fast as a machine gun, and her emotions instantly surged:
"Susu is known for being aloof. It's incredibly difficult for any sapling to even say a word to her. Even in interviews, she replies with very few words, you could say she's extremely economical with words! But look at this photo, especially that group photo with everyone in it, she's standing so close to you! And her smile is so radiant!"
As he spoke, he lightly swiped the screen with his fingertips.
Several photos switched back and forth at a moderate pace, following her movements.
Wang Xuanjiao seemed to be getting more and more excited, and her face turned slightly red.
"I saw these photos last night, and I was absolutely shocked! I looked at them over and over again, but I kept thinking you might be out socializing, so I refrained from sending you a WeChat message to bother you! But then I thought if I waited until 11 pm, you might be asleep—"
As Wang Xianjiao finished speaking, she seemed to choke on her own overreaction, suddenly pursing her lips and coughing softly.
After pausing briefly to catch his breath, he raised his voice again, half-jokingly: "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be secretly having an affair with Susu! Right?"
The elevator slowly ascended to the twelfth floor.
Amidst the slight feeling of heaviness, Yu Huan, seeing her seemingly agitated state, remained calm and tried to evade the issue.
"Private contact? No way!" Yu Huan gently pressed down on the phone Wang Xianjiao was holding, and said calmly, "Take a closer look. The guy in the photo with the mustache and the artistic vibe is Hu Jiyan, the music director of many programs on Hunan TV. I have a pretty good relationship with him. You know how it is in the media industry; it's perfectly normal to meet celebrities at big events. Yesterday, having dinner with Susu was purely by chance. I was just there to make up the numbers, nothing more. It's not as complicated as you think."
Having said that, Yu Huan pursed her lips and stopped abruptly.
Let Wang Xianjiao use her imagination and fill in the blanks in her mind!
"Really?" Wang Xuanjiao asked with a suspicious look.
She stared intently at Yu Huan, her eyes unblinking, as if she wanted to burn a hole in his face with her gaze, afraid of missing even the slightest change in his expression.
Wang Xianjiao had previously read Xiaogang's comments in the group chat.
The text clearly indicates that the leader and Lin Su are extremely close. Just looking at their relationship makes one want to ship them as a couple.
However, Brother Yu downplayed it, saying it was just "making up the numbers," "a coincidence," or "just a minor role."
The contrast between before and after made Wang Xianjiao's doubts snowball and grow bigger and bigger.
However, I also vaguely felt that what Brother Yu said was true.
After all, Liang Qiaobo is also there. Since Brother Yu's friend Hu Jiyan is a musician, and Susu is about to participate in Hunan TV's "I Am a Singer", all these clues can be connected.
Yu Huan took in Wang Xianjiao's thoughtful expression and tried to change the subject without making a sound: "Wang Xianjiao, I might as well tell you some news. My participation in 'Day Day Up' has been finalized. I'll have to set aside some time to record an episode on Hunan TV in a while."
As a staunch supporter of Brother Yu's public appearances in the department, Wang Xianjiao was immediately drawn to the conversation. She seemed to perk up, her eyes widening in undisguised surprise and excitement.
"Great!"
She suddenly clapped her hands together, making a crisp sound, and said repeatedly:
"Brother Yu, to be honest, I've always thought you should participate in more shows! I really felt sorry for you when you turned down the invitation from the 'Day Day Up' program. But now it's great, you're finally going to record a show, I can't wait! I promise I'll be glued to the TV, not missing a single second, and I'll give you my all!"
Seeing her gesticulating wildly, Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle.
Wang Xianjiao was so excited that she couldn't stop talking for a while. She then asked curiously, "Brother Yu, you're going to record 'Day Day Up,' the production team will definitely arrange for you to show off some talent, right? What are you planning to perform? It's not just going to be an interview, is it?"
"I haven't really thought about that carefully. The production team should have made arrangements." Yu Huan shook her head slightly and said seriously, "Besides, the main reason for participating in the program is for work, to promote the newspaper effectively, and to showcase the style of our new media department. My own needs are secondary."
"Brother Yu," Wang Xianjiao gave a thumbs up and uttered a single, resounding word, "Brilliant!"
As we talked, the elevator smoothly arrived at the twelfth floor, and with a "ding," two gleaming doors slowly opened.
Yu Huan took the lead and strode out.
He knew very well that once Wang Xianjiao's curiosity was piqued, she might keep asking him endless questions, so he intentionally or unintentionally quickened his pace and started his office escape.
Wang Xianjiao watched his hurried figure. Even though she still had a thousand questions in her heart and a lot of unsolved mysteries she wanted to ask, she could only swallow her questions and hurry after him.
It was just past eight o'clock, and the entire floor was quiet except for the sound of their footsteps, which were uneven and rhythmic.
As Yu Huan walked briskly, she glanced towards the workroom and saw the soft incandescent light, knowing that there were other diligent people who had arrived even earlier than them.
He strode into the workroom without stopping, quickly scanning the area, and sure enough, he saw Little Potato hunched over his desk organizing documents.
Her focused and earnest expression made it seem as if everything around her was irrelevant.
Yu Huan's lips moved slightly, about to exchange a few pleasantries, when a loud shout suddenly rang out behind her: "Yao Yao! You're here so early today!"
Chen Yaoyao was focused on the document in her hand when she suddenly heard a shout. She quickly turned around and looked at the person who had come in.
Upon recognizing Yu Huan and Wang Xianjiao, her tense expression instantly relaxed, a bright smile spreading across her round face as she quickly stood up to greet them.
"Good morning, Brother Yu and Wang Xianjiao!"
Yu Huan walked straight to her office with a warm smile on her face. She raised her hand and gestured for Chen Yaoyao to sit down, replying, "Good morning, Chen Yaoyao. You're here so early in the morning, working so hard. You must be exhausted."
"It's no trouble at all, Brother Yu. It's almost Chinese New Year, so there's a lot to do. Coming early helps organize the materials and make the work more organized. Then you can have a peaceful and happy New Year."
After speaking, Chen Yaoyao sat down again.
