I sighed; Chu Yu's words made a lot of sense.
Since the little girl's father, Zhong Jianzhou, also knows about the research institute, Zhang Jianzhou is completely superfluous. But I still feel it's a bit of a waste to get rid of him now.
Seeing my expression, Chu Yu said, "Of course, it's up to you to decide what to do. What I said is just a suggestion. After all, I don't know the real situation. What I know is what you told me, not my own experience, so there will always be some differences."
I said, "Okay, I understand. Let me think about it carefully. Didn't you say you had a month to think about it? There's no rush now."
They said there was still a month left, but it's already November 20th, and I don't have a whole month to think about it.
Chu Yu nodded, "Okay, take your time to think about it. I've already told you everything I wanted to say."
After we finished discussing it, Chu Yu left my room.
Chu Yu's analysis was very helpful to me; at least it helped me to sort out my thoughts and understand our current situation.
This will be very useful for the next steps.
As for what choice I should make, I don't know yet.
Chu Yu said that joining Central Town was the best choice, but also the most dangerous. Once my identity was discovered by the people of Central Town, everyone here would probably die.
I don't want to see that happen, so I need to think about this matter carefully.
Du Xu and his team did not stay at the research institute for long; they drove away a few hours later, leaving us with a lot of food.
Not long after they left, Ye Cheng appeared.
His appearance surprised me, but I was also relieved.
Because he arrived at just the right time. Luckily, he was an hour late. If he had arrived earlier, Du Xu and the others would definitely have run into him, and Ye Cheng might have had some ulterior motives.
Fortunately, they did not encounter each other.
His presence at the research institute at this moment has no other purpose than to curry favor with me.
Because he brought a truckload of food.
Ye Cheng stood outside the research institute, followed by several people who came in a pickup truck loaded with food.
I approached him and asked, "What...are you trying to do?"
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Lu Xiaonan, I'm here to make amends with you. I thought about it for a long time after I left, and I think what you said to me before was quite right. There's no need for us to have any conflicts. So, I brought a car full of food as an apology. Everything that happened before was my fault."
I was a little surprised by Ye Cheng's actions.
Looking at the food in the pickup truck, he blinked and said, "Thank you."
Ye Cheng laughed and said, "In that case, could I see Zhou Qingya? It's been more than half a month since I last saw her, and I miss her terribly."
I smiled and said, "This isn't something I can decide. I have to go in and ask her. If she thinks it's okay for you to see her, then you can see her. If she doesn't think it's okay, then there's nothing I can do. So, you have to be prepared."
Ye Cheng nodded, "No problem, no problem. I had to prepare myself mentally before I came. You're right, these things can't be rushed. We can take it slow. Anyway, we all have plenty of time."
I turned around and walked into the research institute, muttering to myself as I went.
Judging from Ye Cheng's current actions, it seems he really wants to win Zhou Qingya's heart.
But Zhang Jianzhou is still locked up here. If Ye Cheng finds out about Zhang Jianzhou's situation, it will be troublesome.
It seems I need to find a way to make Ye Cheng give up.
After I entered the research institute, I found Zhou Qingya and told her about the current situation.
Zhou Qingya said, "I understand, I'll go talk to him."
"Mm." I nodded.
Afterwards, Zhou Qingya and I went outside the research institute.
When Ye Cheng saw Zhou Qingya appear, his face immediately lit up with joy.
"Qingya, we meet again. How have you been these days?" Ye Cheng seemed a little awkward, and I found it hard to believe his expression.
Zhou Qingya said, "I'm doing very well, you don't need to worry about me."
Ye Cheng smiled foolishly and said, "That's good, that's good."
Zhou Qingya said, "Ye Cheng, take this food back. I know what you mean, but I can tell you very clearly that I have no feelings for you. So please don't come here again, okay?"
Ye Cheng's expression stiffened upon hearing this refusal.
Zhou Qingya didn't give him a chance to speak and turned to enter the research institute.
Seeing Ye Cheng's expression, I said, "Don't overthink it."
Ye Cheng glared at me with resentment and said angrily, "Lu Xiaonan, did you tell her to say that?"
I said with a bit of helplessness, "Do you think I needed to let her say that? Ye Cheng, I know you must be very upset right now, but please calm down and think about why Zhou Qingya rejected you?"
Ye Cheng angrily said, "Tell me why!"
I shrugged and said, "What else could it be? Tell me, are you familiar with Zhou Qingya? It's normal that you know her because she's a celebrity, but she doesn't! You said your conversation with her didn't exceed three sentences from beginning to end. Do you think it's appropriate for you to directly express your feelings to her like that? It's not appropriate, is it?"
Ye Cheng seemed to agree with what he heard, his expression softened, and he asked, "Then what should I do?"
I said, "I'll say it again, you can't rush these things. If you want to pursue her, you have to get to know her first. You can't just force it. Especially in the current situation, if you just force it, it will definitely make her feel uncomfortable."
"Then what should I do?"
I said, "We have to take it slow. The central town conference in November is coming up in a few days. You can get to know her gradually then. In short, if you just come to her like this, she will definitely feel disgusted. Do you understand?"
Ye Cheng nodded blankly, "Then you'll bring her to the Central Town Conference?"
I said, "Yes, I will definitely take her there, don't worry."
Ye Cheng sighed and could only turn and leave, glancing reluctantly at the entrance of the research institute as he departed.
As for the truckload of food he delivered, it was all left behind and not taken away.
I raised an eyebrow, stared at the cart full of food on the ground, and smiled slightly.
Nobody would turn down food, so after I called everyone to help carry the food inside, I wondered if I should splurge a little tonight. There's so much food, it'll last a long time.
We were really lucky; two groups of people brought us food one after another, which is something to be happy about.
