Soon it arrived at the anniversary of Madam Huang's death, and Xu Yanshu arrived at the Huang residence early as agreed to wait for her.
As arranged by the housekeeper, he sat down on the sofa in the living room. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw a well-maintained woman coming down from upstairs.
"You must be Xiao Xu? Wait a moment, Lao Huang will be down soon!"
Startled, Xu Yanshu quickly regained his composure and nodded readily, "Okay, I understand!"
The fact that the other person was wearing pajamas at this hour in the morning made him almost instantly guess the relationship between the other person and Huang Dongsheng, and the intimacy revealed in their words just confirmed this.
However, rumors have long circulated that Huang Dongsheng has had no female companions since his wife's death...
Xu Yanshu pursed his lips cautiously, seemingly lost in thought.
It wasn't an accidental exposure; rather, Huang Dongsheng was deliberately using this incident to test him.
This guess suddenly alerted him, and his eyes turned serious. He thought to himself that Uncle He was right after all.
Before long, Huang Dongsheng came downstairs.
"Yan Shu, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Xu Yanshu subconsciously stood up from the sofa and replied humbly and respectfully, "No, I just arrived too."
Huang Dongsheng nodded slightly and was about to leave with Xu Yanshu when he was stopped by the woman from earlier.
Chen Meiling strode forward, reached out and straightened Huang Dongsheng's tie, saying to herself, "Be careful on the road. I'll make you some crab roe porridge later."
"knew!"
Huang Dongsheng agreed without hesitation, and before turning away, he affectionately patted the other person on the shoulder.
After leaving the house, Huang Dongsheng and Xu Yanshu got into the black Rolls-Royce one after the other.
As if suddenly remembering something, Huang Dongsheng abruptly turned to look at the person beside him, "Yan Shu, is your cooling-off period with Huan Yu about to end?"
"Yes, we should pick up the paperwork tomorrow!"
Huang Dongsheng nodded knowingly, then reached out and patted Xu Yanshu on the shoulder, "You're still young, you'll meet your true love sooner or later."
"Yes, I know!" Xu Yanshu replied modestly.
The cemetery where Madam Huang is located is about an hour's drive from the Huang residence. After that, no one spoke again, but Xu Yanshu couldn't help but recall the scene before he left.
It seems that Huang Dongsheng and the other party have had a relationship for quite some time.
It is understandable that Huang Dongsheng would have a new relationship a few years after his first wife passed away. The key point is that the outside world believes that Huang Dongsheng has been deeply mourning his first wife.
As the person involved, he must have been aware of it, and most of the praise he received in the industry stemmed from his image as a loving husband... It's not hard to guess that it was intentional on his part.
That's right, someone who can make Xie Junyang wary can't be simple!
Xu Yanshu's heart sank slightly, and his eyes darkened. This Chairman Huang might indeed be a good backer, but at the same time, this person was also very dangerous.
Now that things have come to this point, there's no time to draw clear lines. All we can do now is take it one step at a time.
Upon arriving at the cemetery, Huang Dongsheng strode towards his wife's tombstone.
"Ayao, I've come to see you. Are you doing alright over there?"
"Don't worry, I'm taking good care of my health, and I've arranged for someone to look after the tulips you planted."
Xu Yanshu followed closely behind, and seeing Huang Dongsheng's affectionate gaze, her feelings were somewhat complicated.
If he hadn't witnessed what just happened, he might have genuinely believed that Chairman Huang was deeply in love with his wife...
It is said that people's hearts are fickle. Perhaps Chairman Huang once truly missed his deceased lover, but driven by interests, he inevitably became calculating.
“Ayao, this is Yan Shu, a very talented young man,” Huang Dongsheng said, as if he had just come out of his thoughts. He pointed to Xu Yan Shu beside him and introduced him to himself, “I feel that I have a strong connection with him, so I brought him to see you!”
Xu Yanshu placed the white bouquet in his arms next to the tombstone and then bowed respectfully to 'Madam Huang'.
“Auntie, hello, I am Xu Yanshu! In my eyes, Chairman Huang is a very respectable senior, and I am honored to be here with Chairman Huang to pay my respects to you today!”
Leaving aside his character for the moment, Huang Dongsheng's talent and ability in business have always earned Huang's admiration.
Huang Dongsheng nodded slightly. In fact, he had been silently observing Xu Yanshu's performance from the beginning until now, and it seemed that his judgment was indeed correct. This person was really smart.
As he turned and walked out of the cemetery, Huang Dongsheng was noticeably more enthusiastic than when he arrived.
"What are your plans after the divorce? I remember you've been working at the Xie Group for the past few years. If you're thinking of moving to a different place, I happen to be having dinner with Lao Xie in a couple of days, so maybe I can give you a heads-up!"
Xu Yanshu glanced gratefully at the speaker, "Then thank you, Uncle Huang!"
He knew without a doubt that Xie Junyang wouldn't let him off easily. He hadn't intended to bother Huang Dongsheng with such a trivial matter, but since Huang Dongsheng had offered to help, he naturally had no choice but to comply.
Huang Dongsheng nodded slightly, a calculating glint flashing in his eyes.
He was mindful of Xie Junyang's life-saving grace from years ago, but seeing that the other party's appetite had grown bigger and bigger in recent years, he didn't want to continue to indulge him without any limits.
Compared to Xie Huanyu, who is so stubborn, Xu Yanshu is the core strength of the Xie family. Once this person leaves, Xie Junyang will definitely be more conservative when making many decisions.
“I have no plans to remarry in this life, but as I get older, I still need someone to take care of me, and Meiling is indeed a good woman!”
Xu Yanshu was taken aback when the other party brought up this topic out of the blue, and then nodded in deep agreement, "You're right!"
In fact, it doesn't matter how he views things. Most of the rules in this world are set by those in power. He wouldn't be so self-deprecating as to think he could teach Huang Dongsheng how to conduct himself in society.
Furthermore, his actions would not hinder him at all, so playing dumb was the best choice.
Huang Dongsheng turned and gave the person next to him an approving look, a genuine smile appearing in his eyes. He considered that it would be a good choice to use this young man for his own purposes.
The Rolls-Royce came to a smooth stop at the Huang residence, and Xu Yanshu politely declined the invitation to stay for dinner.
Huang Dongsheng wasn't bothered by this. He instructed the driver to take the person home safely, then turned around and patted the other person's shoulder meaningfully.
"Yan Shu, there's no need to rush. We have plenty of time in the future."
