Chapter 321 You're lucky this time, kid.
Lin Yourong leaned back in the passenger seat, and after listening to Yu Huan's remarks, she instantly lost all her appetite...
She casually glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Yu Huan slurping up millet porridge, looking as if she were savoring the most delicious delicacy in the world.
Of course, after spending so much time together, Lin Yourong knew that with his eating habits, everything tasted delicious.
However, according to him, eggs and porridge should be healthier than steamed buns?
Lin Yourong's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the cup of millet porridge in her hand.
She inserted the straw into the seal, lowered her head slightly, removed her mask, and began to suckle calmly.
Knowing that Yu Huan would be late, Ji Meng became very focused while driving, remaining silent and gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, urging the same model BMW to speed along the empty road.
The ride was bumpy, and the little monk's head on the center console swayed back and forth.
At this moment, the carriage was somewhat silent.
In a flash, within just ten minutes, Yu Huan could see the Morning Post building in the distance.
The hazy clouds were gradually torn apart, allowing a few rays of bright sunlight to shine through, falling on the glass curtain wall of the building and refracting a faint light.
He hurriedly ate the freshly peeled tea egg in his hand in a few bites.
As the distance drew closer, he quickly put on his mask, hooked the plastic bag containing the trash onto his index finger, and prepared to sprint.
"Honey, I'll chat with you on WeChat later."
Lin Yourong released the straw from her cherry-red lips and gently tapped her chin: "Alright, you take care of the team building activities first, don't worry about me."
The vehicle gradually slowed down and approached the roadside.
Ji Meng teased, "Yu Huan, you can go on your team building trip without worry. I'll take care of your wife here, I'll make sure she's perfectly well taken care of!"
To be honest, Yu Huan completely left the team building activities to Chen Yaoyao and Xu Fei to arrange.
He had only planned to have lunch together before sneaking off to find his wife.
However, upon hearing that Ji Meng's home was nearby, his plans changed. He decided to slip away at noon to spend time with his wife, and then return to the farmhouse for dinner in the evening.
With proper time management, neither task can be neglected.
Yu Huan was laughing happily when Lin Yourong turned to the side and gently patted Ji Meng's arm.
She smiled sweetly and playfully scolded, "Are you looking for a beating? Do you think I need your help?"
"I was just worried your husband would be concerned," Ji Meng said with a grin and a shrug.
As soon as he finished speaking, the vehicle paused slightly.
Yu Huan quickly pushed open the car door, stepped out of the car, and jokingly said, "Okay, Ji Meng, I'll entrust my wife to you for now."
Ji Meng turned around and gave him an 'OK' sign: "No problem, don't worry."
Yu Huan smiled brightly, gently closed the car door, and looked to the right front of the auxiliary road leading into the Morning Post building. There she saw a clean white bus parked quietly.
The breeze blew gently, bringing with it a hint of coolness.
He moved with lightning speed, jogging forward quickly.
With a quick glance, he saw the same BMW driving further and further away. He didn't slow down at all along the way. When he passed a trash can, he casually waved his hand and threw the trash bag in accurately.
As they drew closer to the bus, bursts of cheerful laughter became increasingly clear.
Since no one has called to urge us yet, it must be before eight o'clock.
Therefore, Yu Huan's expression under the mask was calm and composed, showing no sign of panic, and everything was under the control of the "Time-Tracking Hero".
As he jogged to the side of the car, his pace slowed slightly, and he calmed his slightly rapid breathing.
Seeing that the rear door was closed, he quickly walked towards the wide-open front door.
As soon as I stepped onto the second step, my gaze fell on the Mediterranean-looking driver in the driver's seat, while Little Potato Chen Yaoyao stood beside him, holding her phone, seemingly about to make a call.
Yu Huan glanced around briefly, when he suddenly heard Old Li's teasing voice: "Little Yu, are you not going to show up until the very last moment?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan turned her head away.
He looked at Old Li, who was sitting on the steps wearing an old man's hat with ear flaps, and there was a girl wearing a woolen hat on the inside of the seat.
She has a small, round face, but her eyes are quite large, with pupils as bright as black gemstones; it's obvious she's wearing colored contact lenses.
She was staring at him intently, just like a little fangirl.
Yu Huan thought to herself, "This must be Director Li's daughter."
Having been a leader for so long, I'm already used to those wide-eyed, fangirl-like stares.
He calmly took out his phone and checked the time. In the blink of an eye, it jumped to exactly eight o'clock.
He didn't mince words, saying with a smile, "Uncle Li, please stop joking with me. I've come at just the right time!"
"It's better to arrive early than at the right time. You're lucky this time, kid," Old Li said cheerfully, adding a simple rhyme.
Amidst the cacophony of voices, Chen Yaoyao and her daughter chuckled.
Yu Huan thought to himself, "Old Li doesn't seem to have a deep enough understanding of his 'time-checking hero' persona."
His gaze fell on the girl sitting inside, and he casually asked with a smile, "Uncle Li, is this your son?"
Old Li nodded and said, "Yes, her name is Li Qianqian."
Li Qianqian suddenly stood up, extended her hand to Yu Huan, and said with great enthusiasm, "Boss, it's a pleasure to meet you! You're an idol to many people in our department! Many of my classmates really like you!"
"Clam?"
Yu Huan was a little confused and shook hands with her briefly.
Old Li glanced at his daughter, who had happily returned to her seat, and explained with a smile, "My son is studying at the Communication University of China, majoring in journalism."
Yu Huan was taken aback for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on her face. She jokingly said, "I'm really flattered. I'm just making a living at the newspaper, I wouldn't dare to be an idol."
Old Li laughed heartily, lowered his voice, and said half-jokingly, "Little Yu, don't be modest. My daughter has long admired your reputation. Maybe she'll want to learn from you someday."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan quickly smiled and said, "Uncle Li, you flatter me too much. My skills are limited, and I still have many shortcomings. I need to learn more from experienced seniors like you in the field of news."
The words have not yet fallen.
He then looked at Li Qianqian on the inside and continued with a smile, "Qianqian, if there's an opportunity in the future, let's exchange ideas and learn from each other to make progress."
After hearing this, Chen Yaoyao listened in a daze, thoughtfully putting her phone back into her crossbody bag.
It's like hearing celestial music, which temporarily clears the ears.
I've learned something, I've learned something...
Li Qianqian's eyes lit up even more, and she said excitedly, "Boss, that's wonderful! I've always looked forward to having the opportunity to learn from you!"
Old Li caught a glimpse of his daughter's excited expression and subtly tugged at her sleeve.
She thought to herself: "Can't a girl be a little more reserved?"
Old Li coughed lightly and said to Yu Huan, "Little Yu, look at this child, she gets so excited when she hears she can learn from you. If there's a real opportunity in the future, I'll have to trouble you to give her some pointers."
"It's no trouble at all, Uncle Li, you're too kind." Yu Huan finished speaking and glanced around the carriage filled with laughter.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Lao Li, he smiled and asked Chen Yaoyao, "Chen Yaoyao, is everyone here?"
"We're all here."
Chen Yaoyao nodded vigorously, then gestured with her hand towards the two empty seats behind the driver's seat: "Brother Yu, I've saved you a seat."
"it is good."
Chen Yaoyao then called out to the driver, who was putting on white gloves, "Uncle, everyone's here, we can set off now."
"Okay." The driver nodded with a smile.
Yu Huan glanced at a small screen next to the driver's seat, wondering if the event plan Chen Yaoyao had given him included a segment where Qi Huan sang.
These tour buses should have an entertainment system that can play music and provide microphones.
After a moment's thought, Yu Huan strolled over and sat down by the window, glancing at Xu Fei in the back row who was holding a megaphone.
With a smile playing on his lips beneath the mask, he said, "Xu Fei, it's up to you and Chen Yaoyao to liven things up."
He knew perfectly well that with Little Potato's rather introverted personality, he definitely wouldn't be able to do this job well.
Only Xu Fei, this social terrorist, or someone personally taking action, could have such a decisive advantage.
Xu Fei nodded with a grin: "No problem, Huan-ge!"
The bus slowly started moving and veered off the main road.
Yu Huan turned around and sat down steadily.
The carriage was filled with laughter and chatter, a lively and bustling scene.
Yu Huan glanced at Little Potato, who was chatting with the driver and asking for a microphone, and suddenly remembered that the event planning proposal mentioned that the agritainment area covered more than 500 acres.
Thinking about it...
He took out his phone from his pocket and sent Lin Yourong a WeChat message:
"Honey, why don't you and Ji Meng come to the farmhouse for some fun? I strongly invite you!"
……
Lin Yourong took a small sip of the millet porridge.
With the tip of his other finger, he poked the little monk figurine's head, making it shake its head even more violently.
As the orange-yellow sunlight broke through the clouds and fell on the center console, her mood was also greatly improved by the bright sunshine.
Suddenly, the phone placed between my knees vibrated.
She then picked it up, unlocked it, and examined it.
His gaze quickly swept over the message Yu Huan had sent, and he calmly typed out a line: 'What kind of project is it? How much does it cost?'
After Lin Yourong clicked send, she turned to look at Ji Meng, who was holding the steering wheel with her left hand and a bowl of millet porridge in her right, and asked with a smile, "Mengmeng, what are your plans?"
"What are your plans..." Ji Meng thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been back to my hometown since New Year's Day, so I have to go and check it out first and do some cleaning."
"Oh."
Lin Yourong responded and looked down at the new message Yu Huan had sent in an instant.
"It costs 200 yuan per person, including two meals, and there are quite a few activities. This agritainment business is very large, covering 500 acres, not like those small, individually owned rural businesses."
She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ji Meng and said, "How about we go to a farmhouse? Yu Huan and his family spend 200 yuan per person, including two meals."
"Two hundred yuan per person for two meals. Didn't your husband's company book a group tour? Why is it so expensive?" Ji Meng raised her eyebrows, seemingly very knowledgeable about the costs of agritainment.
She stared intently at the road, then asked, "There are quite a few agritainment businesses near my hometown now, which one is it? What's its name?"
Lin Yourong held her phone up to her eyes and looked at it, then replied, "Yu Huan only said that the land area is 500 mu."
"Oh--?"
As the long, drawn-out note faded, Ji Meng chuckled:
"Now I know why it's so expensive, Rongrong. I'll take you straight in, and we won't have to pay anything."
"Clam?"
Lin Yourong put down her phone and looked at her profile with a puzzled expression.
Ji Meng stepped on the gas pedal on the elevated expressway, took a sip of millet porridge, and said slowly, "This farmhouse should be Huasheng Farm. The entrance fee is five yuan, and the all-inclusive ticket is sixty yuan. One of my distant cousins has shares there. I'll just ask him to get us a few all-inclusive tickets."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong hesitated for a moment, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with that? Don't worry, I definitely won't expose you, the big star Lin Su!" Ji Meng said calmly.
Seeing this, Lin Yourong nodded slightly and then sent a message to Yu Huan: "We need to go to Ji Meng's house first, and then we'll come to find you."
……
The undulations in the road surface caused the bus to bounce slightly.
The atmosphere inside the carriage was very lively.
Xu Fei, with one hand supporting the back of Chen Yaoyao's seat and the other holding a microphone to her mouth, faced the audience and led the singing to the accompaniment of Jay Chou's "Sunny Day":
"I tried holding your hand on this windy day..."
In this cheerful atmosphere, Yu Huan, wanting to fit in, also hummed along softly.
At the same time, he looked down at his phone and sent Lin Yourong a red lip emoji.
Seeing that she didn't reply for a while, he put his phone back in his pocket.
Sitting next to Yu Huan, Chen Yaoyao knelt with her arms behind her back, facing the crowd, and sang along loudly, creating a lively atmosphere.
Yu Huan glanced at the loudspeaker placed in the middle of the seat, and curiously picked it up to take a closer look.
He gently flicked the volume control knob with the pad of his thumb. At this moment, the song "Sunny Day" was about to end, and the outro began. He then tested the sound on the speaker.
"Hey Hey hey!"
The sound was like a thunderclap, almost startling Chen Yaoyao who was standing next to him. She turned to look at him with wide eyes.
Yu Huan put down the megaphone, casually took off his mask, placed it on the inside of the seat, and said with a smirk, "This thing is pretty loud."
Chen Yaoyao patted her chest to calm herself down and said, "Brother Yu, this is a 50W high-power speaker."
"Oh."
Yu Huan nodded and turned the volume control knob halfway.
He cleared his throat, imitated a broadcaster's tone, and said into the loudspeaker with intonation:
"Attention passengers, as Ms. Xu Fei's rendition of 'Sunny Day' concludes, this bus is about to arrive at Happy Planet. Please get ready to embark on a wonderful journey!"
This shout immediately caused a burst of laughter in the carriage.
Director Li gripped the armrests in front of his seat firmly with both hands, grinning from ear to ear.
Yu Huan felt the bus was going smoothly, so she stood up, turned around, and faced a group of smiling faces. She smiled and said, "Ms. Xu Fei has set a great example for us, hasn't she? Now, is there anyone else who would like to volunteer to lead a song? We need to keep this atmosphere going!"
The words paused.
Looking around, he saw no one answering.
Wang Zhi's hand is always half-raised, probably because he was too pretentious during the last team-building karaoke session, and it was recorded and posted in the WeChat group, where he was teased for quite a while.
It's understandable that we felt a little embarrassed, with over twenty people from the new media department all present.
They caught a glimpse of Chen Yaoyao hesitatingly raising her hand, but no one else chimed in.
The crowd below was chattering, with everyone saying things like, "So-and-so, you should go up."
