Chapter 110 Chapter 110 [Hazy]
Lin Yimu was pulled out of the school gate by Yuan Mingxu. After a while, He Xiuji's car drove over, and the three of them drove in silence to a Chinese restaurant.
Lin Yimu sat in his seat, looking so stiff that he didn't know what expression to make. He was really not familiar with He Xiuji. In addition, Yuan Mingxu had chosen the seat right opposite him for some reason, and He Xiuji, a stranger, actually chose to sit next to him. This made Lin Yimu feel a little uncomfortable.
The other two people present seemed very natural. He Xiuji even took the initiative to put the menu next to Lin Yimu so that he could order.
Lin Yimu looked at the menu that was handed to him, turned his head with some surprise to look at the man who still had no expression, but still took it politely, symbolically ordered a dish, and handed it to Yuan Mingxu.
As for Yuan Mingxu, who was in charge of the menu, he ordered a lot of dishes without hesitation, and then handed the menu to Lin Yimu, saying, "My uncle rarely invites me to dinner, why did you only order one dish? It would be a waste if you don't eat enough."
Lin Yimu glanced at him, but handed the menu to He Xiuji and said, "There are only three of us. Even if your uncle has money to treat us to a meal, we won't be able to finish it if we order too much."
“You can pack up the food you can’t finish. You don’t have to save money for him. Maybe there won’t be such an opportunity in the future.” Yuan Mingxu looked at Lin Yimu with a look of regret and said.
Lin Yimu did not respond to him. It was okay for his nephew to complain a few words, but as an outsider, it was not appropriate for him to say much.
However, after taking the menu from Lin Yimu, He Xiuji did not order any food. Instead, he followed up with Yuan Mingxu's words and said, "Mingxu is right. Since we're inviting you to dinner, you should follow the guest's wishes. Just order whatever you like and want to eat. Don't be embarrassed." Then he handed him the menu again.
Lin Yimu took the menu handed to him in a daze, looking at the gentle look in He Xiuji's eyes. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and felt that he was a little pretentious.
Since people have said they want to treat him to a meal, no matter what the purpose is, he has not done anything wrong, so he should just face it however he wants.
After figuring it out, Lin Yimu's expression returned to normal. He took the menu with a smile and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. He for your hospitality."
After Lin Yimu finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the menu carefully. After ordering two dishes that were not very expensive, he returned the menu.
He Xiuji looked at the dishes ordered by Lin Yimu, his eyes flickered but he didn't say anything. Instead, he ordered two more signature dishes before asking the waiter to prepare them.
While waiting for the food, Lin Yimu didn't know what to talk about with He Xiuji, so he could only chat with Yuan Mingxu about recent developments across the table. He didn't know if it was Lin Yimu's illusion, but he always felt that Yuan Mingxu would turn the topic to He Xiuji from time to time, like now.
"Yuan Mingxu, if you have nothing to do later, why don't you come to Peking University in advance? Maybe you can learn more from Professor Jiang." Lin Yimu suggested.
Yuan Mingxu thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure if I'll be okay next. I'll have to ask my uncle how to arrange for me."
After saying that, he glanced at He Xiuji who had been silent, and without waiting for him to give an answer, he changed the subject and said, "However, speaking of school, I suddenly remembered that my uncle seemed to be a student of Peking University? Today you should take Lin Yimu and me to visit your alma mater." As he said this, he looked at He Xiuji with a firm face, with some ill intentions in his eyes.
Lin Yimu looked at Yuan Mingxu who mentioned He Xiuji again. It was so obvious, it would be fine once or twice, but if he couldn't notice it after several times, he would be a fool. But he didn't quite understand Yuan Mingxu's intention of doing this.
He Xiuji, who saw everything, did not interrupt Yuan Mingxu. Instead, he calmly drank tea and listened to the two people chatting. However, when Yuan Mingxu mentioned him, he did not respond as Yuan Mingxu expected. He was silent throughout the whole process and no one knew what he was thinking.
When he heard Yuan Mingxu mention his school, He Xiuji glanced at Yuan Mingxu lazily and explained, "I only studied at Peking University for two years. Apart from classes, I didn't have time to visit the school."
When Lin Yimu heard He Xiuji's answer, he couldn't help but look sideways. Although he knew that Yuan Mingxu was deliberately leading the topic, his curiosity was aroused, so he asked, "Mr. He graduated from Peking University in two years? Didn't you study for a master's degree or a doctorate after that?"
He Xiuji turned around and glanced at Lin Yimu with an inexplicable expression, then lowered his eyes and said, "I graduated from Peking University with a master's and doctoral degree in two years, and then went abroad for further studies for a year."
Hearing the other party's answer, Lin Yimu was really shocked. What kind of monster could go directly from undergraduate to doctoral graduation in just two years? This is simply outrageous, okay?
Those students who keep saying that he is a monster should really come to see that there is another person who is even more amazing, and he doesn’t have any help from any external plug-ins.
Lin Yimu came back to his senses from his astonishment, looked at He Xiuji with admiration, and said, "Mr. He is amazing. What major did you choose?"
This time, before He Xiuji could speak, Yuan Mingxu, who was sitting opposite him, answered for him: "My uncle chose finance and computer science. Actually, he wanted to choose only computer science at first, but because his family had a company to inherit, he chose both."
"Mr. He is really amazing. He was able to complete the credits for two subjects in two years. It's simply amazing!" Lin Yimu looked at He Xiuji with an incredible look on his face. His expression was still cold and unchanged, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Although He Xiuji was drinking tea with his eyes downcast, he was always paying attention to Lin Yimu's reaction out of the corner of his eye. Seeing his incredible look, a smile appeared in his eyes.
After Lin Yimu finished speaking, he said, "I believe you can do it, too."
Lin Yimu listened to the other party's words and inexplicably heard a hint of tenderness in them, but looking at his emotionless face, he secretly cursed himself in his heart, wondering if he was thinking too much. How could he hear other meanings in the words of encouragement?
He immediately smiled with a hint of excitement and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. He. Although I can't be as good as you, I will try my best to catch up."
He Xiuji's smile deepened unconsciously when he heard that, but because he was drinking tea with his eyes lowered, no one noticed it, not even Yuan Mingxu who had been paying attention to the two of them.
But today's gains were enough for him to be sure of some things. After all, He Xiuji's difference towards Lin Yimu was too obvious, and even a fool could see it.
When the dishes ordered by the three people came up, He Xiuji's different attitude towards Lin Yimu was clearly revealed, and even Lin Yimu, the person involved, noticed the difference.
He Xiuji, who usually doesn't talk much, unexpectedly introduced the restaurant's signature dish to Lin Yimu, and even helped him pick up some food after the introduction.
This made Yuan Mingxu, who knew He Xiuji's true face, a little bit unbelievable. Looking at his uncle who looked a little abnormal, he sighed in his heart that love can change a person beyond recognition!
Even his uncle, who was always cold and taciturn, had become gentle and kind, even though the object was a man.
Although Lin Yimu, the person involved, didn't know what He Xiuji was like before, he could roughly guess his personality from the few contacts they had. So when he saw him picking food for him and even introducing him to others, he was a little suspicious whether he had been possessed by a ghost or had forgotten to take his medicine?
Anyway, the whole person felt a little bit mysterious. Looking at the food that He Xiuji picked up in the bowl, he didn't know whether he should eat it or not.
When He Xiuji looked at Lin Yimu, the smile in his eyes could no longer be concealed. Even his tense nerves relaxed. His whole temperament was no longer as cold and sharp as before. Instead, he looked a bit like the first time Lin Yimu met him, without so many shackles and a bit of youthfulness.
Looking at He Xiuji like this, Lin Yimu was unconsciously a little dazed. It was He Xiuji's words that brought Lin Yimu back to his senses. He felt a little embarrassed.
"Are you sure you don't need to eat and will be full just by looking at me?" He Xiuji suddenly said with a smile.
Lin Yimu came back to his senses abruptly upon hearing this, and immediately looked into the other person's smiling eyes. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl under the table, but due to the occasion he could only lower his head and eat with red ears.
Yuan Mingxu, who had been watching everything, was secretly watching the interaction between the two while eating, and was still thinking in his heart, after the two of them have a result, if he doesn't want to study with his uncle in the future, can he go to Lin Yimu to persuade him?
As for the fact that ordinary people feel awkward about two men being together, Yuan Mingxu has no feelings at all. Whether it is because his uncle's partner is a man or because his uncle's partner is Lin Yimu, he accepts it very well.
Yuan Mingxu just hopes that his uncle can have someone who is kind to him or whom he likes, so that he doesn't have to live like a robot all the time.
Ever since all his family members passed away, his uncle suddenly became the solemn, cold and gloomy person he is now, which made Yuan Mingxu very worried about his uncle's mental problems.
His uncle has always been the best one since he was a child, but what worries his family the most is his lifelong affairs, because he has no particularly good relationships with any of his male or female classmates, and he doesn't even have an ambiguous partner, which makes his grandparents very worried.
Since the unexpected changes in his family, He Xiuji's style of doing things has become more fierce and decisive, and there is no one around him who can be called a boyfriend or girlfriend.
So now Yuan Mingxu only thinks that his uncle is getting better, and doesn't care whether his partner is a man or a woman. Besides, even if he cares, he can't do anything about it.
After the meal, He Xiuji sent Lin Yimu and Yuan Mingxu back to Peking University, while he was driven back to the company by the driver.
The first thing he did when he returned to the company was to ask his secretary to continue observing Lin Yimu. He did not look relaxed at all.
As far as He Xiuji himself is concerned, now is the critical time for him to take control of the company. No matter how harmless the person is, even if he knew them before, they are all potential dangers to him now. He can only feel at ease if he keeps an eye on them and keeps them where he can see them.
This was also the reason why he went to find Lin Yimu today, and he also discovered an interesting phenomenon. There were not only his people around Lin Yimu, but there was another group of people who had been paying attention to him.
It was just because the other party was too alert that he didn't find out who the other party was. This was also one of the reasons why he was curious about Lin Yimu.
As for what Yuan Mingxu thought, maybe it was right or maybe it was not, but it was not important now. Besides, they were not from the same world.
