A moment of silence followed.
The hired hourly worker suddenly asked, "Mr. Tang, do we need to tidy up the things in the cabinet too?"
Tang Yue hummed in agreement and nodded slightly: "There are some books inside, packed in boxes."
Those were all things Yu Wan had specially bought from the bookstore last time because she was worried he would be too bored in the hospital. They were all kept inside, and she couldn't bear to throw them away.
"Okay." The part-time worker walked over and held out her hand.
Yu Wan suddenly realized that before she could say "wait," the other person had already opened the cabinet.
"Splash!"
Books and documents fell to the ground, several landing right at Tang Yue's feet. He glanced down and saw titles such as "Complete Guide to Rehabilitation," "Postoperative Recovery Plan for Cardiothoracic Patients," and "Nutritional Theory"...
Tang Yue raised his head, his eyes slightly upturned, as if he had captured the brilliance of starlight in his pupils.
"Wanwan, are these also employee benefits?"
"..."
-
The trip to the farmhouse took a full two and a half hours just by driving, and everyone arrived at their destination close to 3 p.m.
After getting off the bus that evening, I took a look around and my mood suddenly brightened.
This is a resort in the mountains. As far as the eye can see, pavilions and towers are hidden among the trees, plum blossoms are in full bloom, and birds are singing and flowers are fragrant all around, just like a fairyland.
"This place is pretty good, isn't it? It took me a lot of effort to find it." Huang Renfeng said proudly, "I heard that the waiting list is already open until next summer. If that person hadn't recently closed a deal with my dad and had something else to do, we wouldn't have gotten a chance."
Meng Shen glanced at him: "Whose property is this?"
"I don't know." Huang Renfeng shrugged. "It's said that the boss came from out of town and suddenly started a resort in the middle of nowhere. At the time, no one was optimistic about him. Unexpectedly, in just six months, he not only recouped his investment but also made a fortune."
Tang Yue seemed to be deep in thought.
This trivial matter was quickly forgotten by everyone. Upon entering the resort, the manager immediately stepped forward and respectfully led them to the villa area on the east side.
The rooms here are all individual garden villas, with a huge swimming pool at the entrance. According to the resort manager, the pool's heating can be remotely adjusted.
"...If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime." Seeing that there was nothing else, the manager respectfully withdrew.
Yu Wan noticed that Tang Yue's face was slightly pale and frowned: "Why don't you go and rest first?"
Tang Yue had just had his stitches removed from surgery, and the exhaustion from the journey was overwhelming. He didn't force himself to continue and nodded, "Okay."
A group of people were clearly going to make a scene on the first floor, so he went straight upstairs.
Before we'd taken two steps, someone suddenly asked, "How are the rooms assigned?"
The one who spoke was a strikingly beautiful and alluring girl, Cao Jin's playmate. She stated bluntly, "The villa has three floors but only six rooms, and we have six girls." In other words, the rooms should all be reserved for the girls. Tang Yue has taken one all to himself, so what about the last girl?
"Lily, stop fooling around." Cao Jin quickly stepped forward and tugged at her arm: "Didn't we agree before we came that the girls would share a room?"
Lily shook off his hand and said petulantly, "Anyway, I don't like living with other people." She's now a somewhat well-known third-tier actress; what kind of talk would it be if she lived with ordinary people?
Huang Renfeng suddenly felt a headache coming on.
This trip to the mountain villa was actually a pretext to curry favor with Tang Yue. They just invited a few more people to avoid making it seem too deliberate or awkward on the surface.
So let alone one room, even if Tang Yue changed rooms every hour, he wouldn't have any objections.
The other playboys thought the same way.
Yu Wan's brows furrowed with coldness and irritation. Seeing Tang Yue still standing there, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why aren't you resting yet?"
Tang Yue glanced at everyone, his gaze lingering on Lily for a few seconds.
It was just a quiet, indifferent glance, without a single word, yet the air was inexplicably filled with a chilling, murderous aura.
Everyone gasped.
When the gaze finally returned to Yu Wan's face, Tang Yue's indifference softened slightly: "Yes, I'll go now."
This time, no one dared to stop them.
Lily instinctively clutched her heart, feeling that the man's aura was too powerful, making her blush and her heart race.
A brief silence fell over the living room.
Yu Wan glanced at Cao Jin sideways, her gaze carrying a strong warning.
Cao Jin clasped his hands together and said with a pained expression, "Sister Yu, I'll take care of it right away."
He pulled Lily out the door, and when they were alone, he lowered his voice and said, "My little darling, Master Yue is someone you absolutely cannot mess with. Don't say anything wrong later."
Lily's big eyes darted around: "What's Master Yue's full name?"
"Tang Yue?" Cao Jin asked, puzzled. "Why are you asking about this?"
Lily playfully wrapped her arms around his neck: "I was just afraid of offending him in the future, wasn't I?"
Cao Jin was completely won over by this, his doubts vanished instantly, he kissed her and continued to offer a word of advice: "The company you signed with belongs to his second uncle. If you want to continue in the entertainment industry, you'd better not cause any trouble."
Lily's eyes lit up.
-
evening.
The room was dimly lit. Tang Yue slowly opened his eyes, reached for his phone, and turned on the screen.
6:10.
He turned on the bedside lamp, straightened his clothes, and went downstairs.
The living room was noisy as everyone gathered together to play the King's Game.
He glanced up and immediately spotted Yu Wan in the crowd. She was leaning back on the sofa, sitting slouchingly, looking down at her phone.
Tang Yue walked over and said, "Make way."
Huang Renfeng was having a great time and was about to retort, "Give me your seat!" when he caught a glimpse of the newcomer's face out of the corner of his eye. His expression immediately changed, and he stood up to offer his seat while asking ingratiatingly, "Master Yue, you're awake? Are you hungry? Would you like to go have dinner now?"
Not only others, but even Yu Wan found Huang Renfeng's sycophantic manner too irritating, as if Tang Yue had some kind of leverage over him.
She gave them a light kick, staring at them suspiciously for a moment: "He's bankrupt, why are you still trying to please him?"
Huang Renfeng's smile froze.
Tang Yue also gave him a warning glance.
Seeing this, Huang Renfeng felt even more like crying.
Seeing his attempt to flatter backfire, the others covered their mouths to stifle their laughter, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.
Tang Yue readily sat down next to Yu Wan, looking completely self-righteous: "I'm your man. If he doesn't try to please me, who else should he try to please?"
The first five words stung Yu Wan's ears, gradually turning them burning hot. She arrogantly raised her chin and hummed, "At least you have some self-awareness."
Huang Renfeng felt like he had been granted a pardon and nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's how it is." He picked up his phone and hurried outside: "I'll have the manager serve the food right now."
He stepped outside and let out a soft breath.
Big shots are hard to deal with.
The man of a powerful figure is even more difficult to deal with!
It's so hard being a lackey!
