Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
Qiu Xiaorou pouted, "If you wanted to buy it, you would have bought it long ago. Why wait until now?"
Su Yan isn't short of money.
Su Yan: "...You've only been with me for a few days? How come you've already become a mind reader?"
She doesn't buy it because she's unwilling to spend the money!
She really wanted a cell phone before, it would be more convenient, but a basic mobile phone costs nearly 30,000 yuan. What else could she do with that money? Suddenly, this cell phone wasn't so essential anymore.
Qiu Xiaorou chuckled and said proudly, "Of course! Okay, I'll help you take your things inside. Your boyfriend has come twice already and asked me to tell you that he made a reservation at the state-run restaurant at 1 o'clock and will come to pick us up later."
Su Yan glanced at the time; it was almost midnight!
"Then hurry up and move your things. We'll be leaving soon after a short rest."
She hasn't had a good rest these past two days.
After arranging the gifts brought from the Tao family, Su Yan lay on the bed for a while to calm down, then picked up her mobile phone and dialed Tang Li's office.
After the call connected, she said, "Uncle Tang, it's me, Su Yan."
"Su Yan?" Tang Li was surprised for a moment, then laughed. "How's it going in Beijing? I heard your brother is back, and he came back with you this time. Your mother is overjoyed. The braised food shop has been offering discounts since a couple of days ago, even more so than when it opened."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan thought of her mother's personality and couldn't help but say, "It's only natural that she's happy. My brother is still alive. She's been waiting for this day for so many years."
Actually, when her mother found out that her older brother was still alive, she immediately started clamoring to come to Beijing, but her older brother stopped her. After his health improved, he started to get busy with his work and wanted to go home as soon as possible. If Li Juan came, he would be distracted.
So, her mother only stopped when she learned that her older brother had another month of vacation left. However, she burst into tears on the other end of the phone, unable to stop crying, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and longing she had accumulated over the years. Her older brother also couldn't help but shed tears, repeatedly saying sorry.
"You little rascal, why do you sound so unexcited? Don't you miss your older brother?" Tang Li teased deliberately.
Su Yan said, "I cried so hard I fainted when I saw my older brother, don't you think?"
Tang Li was astonished to hear this.
He didn't expect Su Yan to faint from crying, after all, she had such a stable personality.
On second thought, it makes sense; Li Juan said that Su Yu dotes on her, his younger sister, the most.
"Your family has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel," he remarked, then added, "You didn't call me just to chat, did you?"
"You can see through everything. I was just wondering if the restaurant has called back?"
Before coming to Beijing, Su Yan specifically called Zhu Gongcheng and asked him to contact Tang Li or Feng Caixia in advance this week.
"We did it once. The restaurant started to change its color scheme. Before he started, he specifically told us to check if there was anything we wanted to change."
"That's fine then."
"I'll be taking up my new post in Guangzhou in a couple of days. After I hand over my work, I'll go check on the restaurant," Tang Li said.
"So soon?" Su Yan asked in surprise, "Weren't we supposed to go at the end of the month?"
"It all happened so suddenly. The person who was in my position quit, and there are still a lot of documents that need to be approved, so I can't delay it even if I want to."
"Why?" she asked, puzzled.
"He was demoted, and I became his superior. He's probably unhappy about it, but it's the leader's arrangement." Tang Li's tone was very helpless.
Su Yan remained silent.
If that person is truly capable, the Baicaotang headquarters will definitely choose to promote him rather than demote him and make him lose face. He can't blame anyone for that.
The headquarters of Baicaotang is in Guangzhou, so she couldn't help but ask, "What position do you hold in Guangzhou?"
Tang Li said, "He is the general manager of Baicaotang's operations department and is also responsible for the business of all branches in Guangzhou."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan exclaimed in surprise, "You've skipped several levels, Uncle Tang! Congratulations!"
This position is considered the most important in Baicaotang, which shows how much the leaders of Baicaotang value Tang Li.
"How is your wife now? Is she going to Guangzhou with you?" she asked.
Speaking of this, Tang Li's voice was filled with joy, "After taking the medicinal diet you prescribed, her condition has improved a lot. The doctor said that the fetus's development is much better than during the first check-up, and there are no signs of threatened miscarriage at present."
The situation has finally stabilized, and to avoid any further complications, I want to bring my wife and child to Guangzhou after the baby is born. If we go now, I won't have time to spend with her, and I'm worried about leaving her alone at home.
Fortunately, his wife is now focused on the children and did not reject his suggestion.
He certainly values his child, and now that the child is safe, he is overjoyed, and the regret in his heart has been made up for.
Su Yan smiled and said, "As long as it works, that's fine. I'll visit Aunt Fang again before I go to school, and I'll prescribe a new prescription for her based on her condition."
Tang Li did not refuse and said sincerely, "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for your medicinal diet, this child would definitely have been lost again."
“Uncle Tang, that’s too formal. We don’t need to be so polite between us.” As Su Yan was speaking, there was a knock on the door. She immediately got up to open it. “Uncle Tang, let’s talk when we get back. I have something to do right now.”
After hanging up the phone, she opened the door and immediately beamed with joy upon seeing the person outside.
It was Jiang Jingxing and Su Yu.
"Brother, what brings you here too?" she said happily to Su Yu.
Su Yu glared at the man next to him, then said, "I'm here to pick you up for dinner. Jiang Jingxing hitched a ride with me."
Jiang Jingxing: "..." How dare you say that?
Su Yan's gaze swept between the two of them.
Su Yu's body has not fully recovered, so it is not safe for him to drive. Who knows if he will suddenly develop any symptoms?
She understood everything perfectly well, but decided to save face for her brother.
"Didn't we say we were going to eat? Let's go, I'm starving!"
She closed the door, took a man's arm with her, and turned her head to call out to the next room, "Xiao Rou is gone."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Xiaorou opened the door and rushed out.
Su Yan then took the two men's arms and went out.
There was no other way. Her older brother looked at Jiang Jingxing as if he were some kind of annoying person. If she didn't mediate, how would things go on?
There was a Jeep parked in front of the hotel, but someone was sitting in the driver's seat.
The passenger window rolled down halfway, and Su Yan leaned over to peek before she could see the person clearly. She exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Xin? What are you doing here?"
Wang Xiaoxin rolled down all the car windows, then grinned and said, "Hello, sister-in-law, I'm here to be your driver and maybe grab a bite to eat. Don't look down on me!"
