Chapter 44: The man is wearing a black wide-leg...
When Song Yu turned around, she saw a young man sitting opposite her.
The man wore a black, wide-leg printed short-sleeved shirt, gray-black jeans, light brown sneakers, black earrings, and a silver necklace. His hair was neatly styled. He was tall, estimated to be over 185cm tall. The American high street style is very particular about height, and it looks great on tall, slender men, giving them a cool vibe.
Song Yu gave his outfit a score of seven.
The reason I only gave it a 7 is because Zhou Ci also has this style. Zhou Ci is 186cm tall, active, and likes to wear loose clothes. Song Yu bought him a lot of clothes in this style, which are comfortable to wear and easy to take care of.
With Zhou Ci as a role model, Song Yu could only give this man a score of seven.
She smiled at the man and raised her glass in greeting. "You look a little unfamiliar?"
"I'm a native of City B, but I studied abroad since I was a child and just returned home after graduating." The man raised his glass, clinked it with Song Yu's, and began to introduce himself. "My name is Li Ziwen, I'm 27 years old. Can I meet you?"
Song Yu took out his phone and added him to his contact information, smiling, "There's no need to be so formal on this occasion."
The man was very gentlemanly: "I think that's respectful enough."
This man was well-educated. Song Yu liked interacting with well-educated people. After adding his contact information, Song Yu took the initiative to tell him his name: "My name is Song Yu."
"I've heard of your name." Li Ziwen was very frank. "My friend mentioned you."
"Your friend?" Song Yu sat back on the sofa, legs crossed, playing with a champagne glass in his right hand, looking very relaxed. "Who is your friend?"
"You probably don't know him. He's here today and will be playing in a game later. I'll introduce you to each other later."
"Okay!" Song Yu agreed immediately. She pointed around and asked, "Do you like playing with cars too?"
"It's okay. Sometimes I just play with my friends."
"After so many years abroad, are you used to returning home?"
"I'm still adjusting," Li Ziwen replied humorously. "My family is regretting sending me abroad. They didn't expect China to develop so quickly. There are many opportunities in China now, but competition is also fierce. Many people abroad want to return, but they've been abroad for so long that they've adapted to the pace of life there. Returning would make them uncompetitive, so they have no choice but to go back."
Song Yu understood what he meant and followed up with the question, "So you came back after graduation. Are you planning to develop in China?"
"I have this idea, but I don't have a direction yet. I don't know what to do. Let's just wait and see for now!"
"What major did you study abroad?"
"MITEECS focuses on robot mission and path planning." Li Ziwen raised his glass. "Should we toast? I heard your company is also doing research related to robots."
"We really should have a drink." Song Yu held his chest with his left hand, leaned over and clinked his glass with his right hand. "I didn't expect to run into colleagues here. MIT's robotics program is one of the best in the world. Two of our team members are from MIT. Maybe you know each other. We should talk more when we have time. You've both been abroad for so long, so you must have a lot of common topics."
This was truly a pleasant surprise. Song Yu hadn't expected that his first connection would be to a top student in MIT's robotics program. MIT students are incredibly popular, but they're also incredibly hard to recruit. For the sake of the company, Song Yu had to secure him.
"Okay, I wonder when you are free, we can make an appointment." Li Ziwen was obviously interested in Song Yu, and he had done some basic research on Song Yu. He knew what Song Yu needed and also knew that she was single now, so he came prepared.
Whether you admit it or not, beautiful girls always have the advantage of appearance, especially girls like Song Yu, who are at the top of the pyramid in terms of family background and appearance, and there is no shortage of suitors. Many people dare not pursue her because they know that she is too outstanding and they can't catch up even if they try. If they are rejected, they can't even be friends.
Song Yu talked to Li Ziwen for such a long time, not just to add his contact information and then put it in the WeChat address book without any further contact. This was not to expand her network, but only to expand her WeChat circle of friends. This kind of social interaction was not only ineffective but also a waste of time. Song Yu's consistent principle was not to do useless work.
"How about next Tuesday? I'm on vacation these days, and my schedule is already planned, so it's hard to change it. I'll start work next Monday, but after so many days off, I'm sure there's a lot of things to deal with. Tuesday is more flexible, and I can even take you to our robotics research center for a look."
She pulled an invitation from her bag and handed it over, explaining the purpose of her visit today: "This is an invitation to our company's robot launch conference. I'm afraid I'll be too busy to remember it next time we meet, so I'm giving it to you today. If you have time that day, you can go and take a look. I hope you won't be disappointed."
"That looks like it's going to be exciting." Li Ziwen held up the invitation. "Is the press conference open to the public?"
"The press conference is only open to media outlets that have collaborated with us, and individuals with invitations." Song Yu pointed to the invitation in his hand and joked, "So you have to keep it safe! Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if you lose it."
"Will you give a speech?"
"Yes! Although this press conference was the result of the joint efforts of everyone in the team, and I didn't help much, I just took advantage of my status as the boss's daughter, but they still wanted me to be the representative at the press conference. After all, I'm not very good at research, but I'm quite good at public speaking."
"Then I must go and have a look." After confirming that Song Yu would go, Li Ziwen put away the invitation letter.
"Song Yu!" Gao Chi called from a distance. Seeing Song Yu looking over, he waved at her again, "Come here! I'll introduce you to some friends."
Song Yu understood Gao Chi's subtext very well, which was that he wanted to introduce her to some potential customers.
She turned around and gave Li Ziwen an apologetic smile: "My friend called me, I have to go over."
Li Ziwen nodded at her and said, "Okay, you have something to do first. I'll sit here for a while and wait for my friend."
"Where's your friend?"
Li Ziwen looked towards the racetrack in the distance. "This is his first time here. He's still familiarizing himself with the track. He's going to race soon."
Song Yu followed his gaze and saw that there were indeed quite a lot of people over there, and there were also cars running on the track, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Song Yu!" Gao Chi saw that Song Yu didn't respond, and called out again, "Song Yu, Song Yu, come here!"
Song Yu could only stand up and said, "I really have to go over there, you have fun."
"Okay! You too."
The person introduced by Gao Chi was his childhood friend in K City. This time, Gao Chi also invited him to come to B City to play. The plane didn't land until around five or six in the evening. He didn't even have time to eat and rushed straight to the mountain.
According to Gao Chi himself, he and his childhood friends have known each other since they were in diapers. They fought, played games and pulled girls' braids together, and their relationship was extremely close.
Song Yu was very good at handling things. After introducing each other, they started chatting and sent an invitation letter to each other.
Everyone was very happy to meet each other. They did fly here just for Song Yu, but their interest in the press conference was far greater than in Song Yu himself. They were very happy to receive the invitation letter from Song Yu and said that they had made a good deal.
Seeing that they were genuinely interested and kept asking questions, Song Yu told them more about the difficulties encountered during the development of his robot and how he solved them. Of course, he didn't go into too much detail, as the surprise would be revealed at the press conference.
They were all Gao Chi's childhood friends, and they all knew Gao Chi's feelings for Song Yu. In front of them, Gao Chi always called Song Yu "goddess." With this premise in mind, they also paid attention to keeping a safe distance when chatting with Song Yu, and wisely did not have too much contact with Song Yu.
After they had finished chatting, Gao Chi and his friends were hungry and wanted to go eat something. Gao Chi asked Song Yu if he wanted to go. Song Yu said no, so Gao Chi took them there.
Song Yu was not left alone either. As soon as the party here ended, a friend called Song Yu over there, so Song Yu changed the venue directly.
She had indeed not been out for a long time, and everyone wanted to see her, to see how she was doing recently and whether she had become more beautiful. Some girls might compete with each other, but with Song Yu, that was completely impossible. When someone is so much better than you, you don't even think about comparing yourself to them, you just get used to looking up to them.
Song Yu didn't expect Zhou Nian to come too.
When I think about it again, I don’t think there is anything strange about it.
Zhou Nian is no longer the illegitimate daughter who was ostracized when she first entered the Zhou family, was timid in her heart, and longed to quickly integrate into the life of the wealthy family and tried her best to please her.
She has now completely adapted to the life of a wealthy family and has her own little sisters. She is a typical rich second generation. Every day she is either hanging out with her little sisters, going to the mall to buy things, or hanging out in nightclubs chasing male models.
She couldn't match Song Yu's social status, having only managed to attend a university she could afford, and planning to pursue a mediocre master's degree abroad after graduation. But it was undeniable that she lived a comfortable life. Her parents loved her, and she had plenty of pocket money to buy whatever she wanted. She had no pressure to study, and she didn't have to worry about her career.
Her mother wanted to make her a socialite and was willing to invest in her materially, so she could be seen at every event.
In her mother's words, girls don't need to be too capable, because they will get married in the end anyway. Dressing up beautifully every day and marrying a good husband in the end is better than anything else.
Zhou Nian has made her mother proud. She is good-looking and has learned her mother's tricks to coax men. She is good at acting coquettishly and cutely, and her attitude is soft enough that many men fall for it.
Song Yu and Zhou Ci have a good relationship, and Zhou Nian is very dissatisfied with them. She used to like to follow Song Yu around, calling her sister. But Song Yu never paid much attention to her. After helping Zhou Ci up, Zhou Nian started to dislike Song Yu.
Zhou Nian didn't dare confront Song Yu directly. After all, if she pissed him off, he wouldn't even have to say anything, as there would be plenty of people helping him deal with her. She only dared to say bad things about him behind his back, saying things like, "Song Yu is bad, that's why Shen Zhiyan doesn't want her," or that Song Yu's eyes were in the sky.
These words finally reached Song Yu's ears.
Song Yu is usually too busy to deal with it. If he doesn't seek revenge when he encounters this, it is not Song Yu's personality.
"Zhou Nian?" Song Yu called out to Zhou Nian, who was about to slip away. Holding a champagne glass, he walked up to her leisurely, "Where are you going?"
"Sister, you are here too?" She had a bright smile on her face, without showing any sign of embarrassment at being caught.
Zhou Nian has one good point, probably inherited from her mother. No matter how much she hates someone in her heart or how much she says bad things about them behind their backs, when she meets them, she is very sweet-mouthed and smiles a lot, and you can't see any dislike at all.
Many people have said bad things about her behind her back, and they all said they didn't know she would think that way and didn't realize she was that kind of person.
She never speaks negatively of others to their faces. If she has something to say, she only spreads it behind their backs. In front of people, she will only say yes, yes, yes, okay, okay, you are right. She will get your approval and then get you to talk, but she will keep silent about her own affairs.
In the face of absolute advantage, Song Yu would not play tricks with her. That would be a waste of time. Song Yu would play it straight. "I thought you saw me coming and pretended not to see me in order to avoid me!"
"Sister, you're joking. I'm so happy to see you, why would I deliberately avoid you?"
"I recently heard a rumor that someone is questioning my relationship with Zhou Ci, saying that we are playing the brother-sister game under the guise of brother-sister status." Song Yu looked at her. "You said that, right?"
"How is it possible? How could I say such a thing? Who spread this? You are accusing me of this, you won't really believe it, will you, sister?" Zhou Nian denied a single word.
"Are you sure I want to call that person over to confront you?" Song Yu began to take out his phone, looking at her with a smile: "I still have a recording of you saying these words to others. Can I play it for you now?"
Zhou Nian was dumbfounded. She really didn't expect there was a recording.
Just when she didn't know what to do, Xia Zhi's voice saved her. Seeing that Song Yu's attention was attracted by Xia Zhi, she ran away quickly without stopping and went straight down the mountain to go home.
