Chapter 189 Chapter 189 [Plot transition, you can skip if you don’t like it...
When Lin Yimu heard He Xiuji mention the engagement ceremony, he looked up at him in surprise, "You've been so secretive lately, aren't you doing this?"
He Xiuji nodded to confirm, then looked down at the person in front of him and said dejectedly: "Xiaomu, have you changed your mind? Don't want to hold an engagement party? If you don't want to, I can wait a little longer, but it would be a pity to waste the prepared venue."
Lin Yimu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the usually strong man in front of him suddenly become depressed. He didn't want to refuse, so he quickly said, "Don't be sad. I didn't say I didn't want to. I was just a little surprised that you didn't say anything."
"Really?" He Xiuji asked.
"Really." Lin Yimu nodded affirmatively.
He Xiuji finally felt relieved and smiled, "Then let's go to the engagement party tomorrow. I've been having people decorate it recently. See if you like it."
When Lin Yimu heard He Xiuji talking about the engagement banquet, he was a little worried that it would be too grand, so he said, "It's okay to go and take a look. You know me, I don't like things that are too complicated, so I still want to keep the engagement banquet simple and only invite some of our relatives and friends to attend."
He Xiuji said, "I know, so I want to take you to have a look tomorrow. If there's anything you don't like, we can modify it. Anyway, the date hasn't been set yet, so there's still time for everything."
"Well, it just so happens that I have a day off recently, so I can help you set up the scene."
After saying that, Lin Yimu suddenly remembered the invitations, and said with expectation in his eyes: "By the way, have you prepared the invitations? I thought that since we are going to invite our relatives and friends anyway, why not write them by hand while we have time now?"
He Xiuji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his heart was filled with joy. Xiaomu's idea coincided exactly with his. I immediately called my assistant and asked him to send over several invitation styles that I had designed previously.
Afterwards, Lin Yimu and He Xiuji talked about the engagement party again, and finally they chose the date of the engagement party together, which was set on February 24th of the lunar calendar after the New Year.
By the time the assistant brought over a stack of invitations, the two had already chosen a date and had dinner. He Xiuji was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, so when the assistant knocked on the door, it was Lin Yimu who opened it.
Looking at the young man in a suit and glasses in front of him, after taking the stack of invitations handed over by the other party, Lin Yimu said politely: "Thank you for coming to deliver the things so late. Aji is in the kitchen now. Do you want to come in and sit down?"
Assistant Chen was a little dazed when Lin Yimu opened the door. When Lin Yimu took the invitation from him and invited him, he suddenly came to his senses and waved his hands awkwardly, saying, "No, no, these are just my job. I will go home after delivering the things. No need to bother!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yimu to speak again, he turned around and walked away, his steps so fast that he seemed to be flying.
Lin Yimu looked at the other party's strange behavior, then looked at the stack of invitations in his hand. He was a little puzzled, but he didn't take it to heart.
At this time, He Xiuji came out of the kitchen, looked at the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
“Here.” Lin Yimu shook the stack of invitations in his hand and said, “Your assistant came to deliver the invitations. I told him to come in and sit down, but he ran away as if there was a ghost chasing him.”
He Xiuji reached out and took the invitation from Lin Yimu. Hearing this, his face showed no expression. He just said, "Don't worry about him. Come and choose a style. Once you choose it tonight, it can be made tomorrow. You can write the invitation directly after you come back from watching the scene tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yimu stopped thinking about what happened just now and shifted his attention to choosing the style of the invitation.
The helpers who came out of the president's house did not stop until they were out of a certain range, with excitement and excitement in their eyes as if they had discovered a big secret.
The assistant stood at the intersection, thinking of the young man he had just seen and his relaxed appearance in his CEO's house wearing home clothes, and couldn't help but want to gossip.
Two months ago, the president asked their secretariat to start preparing for the banquet, and he also made it clear that it was an engagement banquet and had to be romantic and stylish.
This made everyone in their secretariat couldn't help but speculate that their CEO, who had never been interested in women and was as cold as an iceberg, also had someone he liked, but they didn't know who it was.
Curious people also privately speculated whether she might be the daughter of a cooperating group, or a childhood sweetheart of a family friend.
Anyway, the range is so small that everyone just made random guesses, but they all subconsciously thought it was a woman and never thought that the other person might be a man.
Today, after seeing Lin Yimu, the assistant knew that all their guesses were totally wrong. Not only was the other party a boy, but he was also the young man who had been to their company and had employee meals with the president!
The assistant suddenly remembered an incident that happened this summer. Their president transferred most of the company's legal affairs with just one phone call. These people were all his confidants who had followed him when he started from scratch and later joined the He Group after he inherited the family business.
Such a big commotion at the time caused the company's employees to be uneasy and full of speculation.
Later, nothing happened and everyone gradually put their minds at ease. However, from time to time, rumors came out, saying all kinds of things.
Some said that He's company was in crisis and the president was going to sell shares. Others said that He's company had problems with its products and was facing lawsuits. There was even an even more outrageous rumor that President He gave the company to his wife as a betrothal gift.
And Mr. He's trusted special assistant, who had been following him at the time, paid no attention to the first few rumors. Only when he talked about the last one, everyone had a look of disdain as if it was impossible. Only he had a complicated expression.
I didn’t take it seriously at the time, but now thinking about it, wasn’t that just a disguised form of admission?
As for the special assistants around the CEO, as we all know, they usually represent the CEO's opinion, so...
Thinking of this, the assistant who came to deliver the invitation suddenly realized that the rumor at that time might have been spread by the president, right? No way! No way!
If this is true, then their President He is too humble. He even gave up the company for his wife, but he still has no official status. No one in the company knows who President He's partner is.
Thinking of this, the young assistant cursed in his heart. He couldn't say that. Judging from the special assistant's attitude, the other party must know it. Maybe the other party's ambiguous attitude at that time was a hint from the president.
As for the reason, maybe the president just wants to show his affection secretly. After all, how can these little assistants guess the president's thoughts?
With the attitude of sharing the good news, the assistant eagerly and excitedly shared his findings and ideas in the small group of their secretariat.
I thought it would be the same as usual, with everyone discussing it together and excitedly eating melons, but no one responded for a long time.
Everyone in the group was as quiet as a chicken, which made the assistant's enthusiasm go to waste. He didn't understand, so he sent another message in the group [? 】emoticons.
Still no one responded.
"That shouldn't be the case. Except for me delivering something to the boss, everyone should be off work at this time, right?"
While I was wondering, someone finally replied.
[None of these dogs want to go up: Lao Chen, look at the group members! 】
Then there was no movement again.
The assistant clicked on the group members in confusion, but before he had time to take a closer look, another message popped up.
【Keep calm: Well, congratulations, you guessed them all correctly, but there is no prize. By the way, now that the things have been delivered, you should hurry back to work. As my assistant, do you think I have too much free time? 】
Looking at the latest news, the young assistant was very confused. When did his immediate boss join the group? This group of disloyal guys, not one person reminded him! He will never share any gossip with them again!
But he was still a little excited in his heart. He didn't expect that his guess was actually true. Their president actually used this method to show his love. It was simply outrageous!
Regardless of other people's speculations about the two, Lin Yimu and He Xiuji finally chose a sample with a fresh and elegant pattern and a simple and generous appearance as their engagement party invitation.
The next day, after they had breakfast, He Xiuji drove Lin Yimu directly to the engagement party.
The location was chosen to be a holiday villa not far from Beijing. This was a new project launched by the He family. It had just been completed and had not yet opened for business, so He Xiu Ji and Lin Yi Mu were the first guests.
After the two arrived at the place, He Xiuji took Lin Yimu directly to the golf course of the villa, which was not equipped with anything yet.
Lin Yimu looked around and found that in addition to a large green lawn and rows of seats on the lawn, there was a huge circular platform in the front.
Various transparent balls are hung on the platform. You can't tell what's inside unless you look closely. The material is very transparent, like crystal.
Lin Yimu turned around with some confusion and looked around again, and found that there was nothing else except these. He looked at He Xiuji with some confusion.
He Xiuji felt Lin Yimu's gaze, smiled and did not explain, but pulled him to the circular platform in front.
After standing on the platform, He Xiuji took Lin Yimu's hand and walked towards the balls hanging in the air, "Come closer and take a closer look."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yimu obediently walked into a larger sphere and got closer to observe it carefully.
After a long while, Lin Yimu turned around and looked at the man behind him with some surprise, and said: "It looks like a series of asteroids in here. Did you replicate the entire galaxy?"
He Xiuji neither nodded nor shook his head, but just looked at Lin Yimu's surprised and happy expression with a smile in his eyes.
Lin Yimu didn't get an answer but didn't care. Instead, he looked at the balls with full anticipation, and the more he looked, the more surprised he was.
After looking at all the balls, Lin Yimu ran back to He Xiuji and asked excitedly, "How did you do it? These balls are all asteroids. How did you come up with this? Does it have other effects? Can I take a look first?"
He Xiuji knew that Lin Yimu would like it, but after listening to his series of questions, he said with a bit of a smile: "Okay, okay, don't get excited, I will answer your questions one by one."
"I specially asked someone to make these small balls. They are not particularly precious, but the things inside are quite laborious. They need to be polished one by one and then merged into the glass balls. And the gaps must not affect the appearance."
“As for the other effects,” He Xiuji said, leaving the topic in suspense. Seeing that Lin Yimu was getting a little anxious, he continued, “I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but it’s okay to see it now. If you’re not satisfied, we still have time to have someone make further revisions.”
As He Xiuji spoke, he pulled Lin Yimu towards the stage. When they came to a corner, he squatted down and was about to turn on the switch, but was stopped by Lin Yimu.
"What's wrong, Xiaomu?" He Xiuji asked.
Lin Yimu glanced at the balls on the stage, torn between wanting to see them now and waiting until they got engaged to see them.
Seeing Xiao Mu's dilemma, He Xiuji smiled, reached out and held his hand, saying, "If you are really confused, I have a compromise."
Lin Yimu asked: "What method?"
He Xiuji whispered, "I can take you to see the floor plan. Although it's not as shocking as the real scene, it's also very good. It can satisfy your curiosity and won't make you lose the novelty on the engagement day."
Lin Yimu's eyes lit up, thinking this was a good idea, and he immediately wanted to take He Xiuji home to watch it, not even caring about the on-site arrangements.
Now he just wanted to know what these planets created by He Xiuji looked like. He was simply too curious.
But speaking of planets, Lin Yimu remembered what Zhang Hechang had said before, that the Aerospace Research Institute asked him to wait for notification, and he sighed in his heart.
I don’t know when I can get a job at the Aerospace Research Institute. Even if I can do odd jobs now, it’s fine. It’s worrying that there’s no news yet.
