Chapter 6: Voices: They seemed to have completely let go of the past...
Yuntan was so shocked by the mess before him that he was not prepared when he connected the video.
Lu Wangshan’s handsomeness is very impactful, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and strong features.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a high-rise building, looking out at the vast ocean and coconut groves. The October sun was still scorching hot, making his brows furrow and his double eyelids form deep wrinkles.
He was wearing a flight jacket with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, which made him look cold and hard, but it was in conflict with his hot and rough temperament. The two things pulled at each other, making people think of a fire wrapped in ice.
Yun Tan couldn't look away for a moment.
Lu Wangshan didn't say anything either.
So the first few seconds after the video is connected are quiet.
Until Lu Wangshan said: "Adjust the camera."
"oh oh."
Yun Tan turned the camera around and took a picture of the mess in the room, and finally turned the lens to the culprit - after Lu Wangshan spoke, Leo's ears became even more exaggerated, and his ears could not be seen from the front. He looked like a little seal, his eyes darting around, not daring to look straight at him.
Leo has been trained by Lu Wangshan since he was a child, and he is most afraid of Lu Wangshan.
"Leo." Lu Wangshan spoke.
Little Leo whimpered, trying to awaken his father's love.
Lu Wangshan remained indifferent: "Stand up."
Leo sat up obediently, but still kept his head down and glanced upwards.
"What did I tell you before I left? You should listen to your mother."
Lu Wangshan had a serious expression on his face. Yun Tan took advantage of the fact that Lu Wangshan couldn't see the smile on his face at the moment, and gloated over Leo's guilty expression.
Lu Wangshan really held a criticism meeting with it via video call.
Dad's authority was still sufficient even through the phone screen, and Leo listened to the lecture very seriously.
At the end, Lu Wangshan concluded his speech and said, "I can't do this again. Do you hear me?"
Leo seemed to understand everything, realizing that the criticism would finally be over, and he held his head high and said, "Woof!"
——"I heard it!"
-
Leo kept his word and never demolished the house again.
The first time was probably because I was in a new environment and was so excited that I couldn’t control my nature.
On weekends, Jiang Zhier came to have dinner with Yuntan. They went to a pet-friendly restaurant and brought Leo along.
Jiang Zhier was also shocked when he saw the food box Yun Tan put on Leo: "Isn't it eating too balanced a diet?"
There is even an after-meal dessert - a "Swiss roll" filled with bell peppers, carrots, and vegetable puree. It is five small pieces and looks exquisite and cute.
Yun Tan said, "Lu Wangshan prepared it for it."
Jiang Zhier watched Leo inhale violently and actually felt that his portion was more delicious than his own. He sighed sincerely, "I can't believe that our ex-husband is so manly."
Yuntan drank his drink and smiled, but didn't say anything.
Lu Wangshan's nature is indeed very different from his appearance, and the word "husband feeling" is very suitable for him.
When they were together in the past, Lu Wangshan often cooked, one portion for Leo and one for Yuntan, and the dishes were even more exquisite than those in the top restaurants in Beijing.
Even before going on a business trip, he would make Yuntan's stomach comfortable, personally pack two boxes of wontons for her, and put a pot of chicken soup in the refrigerator so that she could use it to enhance the flavor when cooking the wontons.
"When do you and Flexi plan to get married?" Yun Tan asked Jiang Zhier and her boyfriend.
"It's still early, no rush."
"Hasn't he already graduated?" Yun Tan joked with a smile, "I think Flexi must have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Jiang Zhier asked: "Now that you're back home, will your family urge you to go on blind dates?"
Yun Tan paused and shook his head: "They don't rush me on this."
"That's good. Several girls in my studio are being forced to go on blind dates."
Jiang Zhier wanted to touch Leo, so he reached out his hand. Leo endured for three seconds and tilted his head back.
Don't let her touch me anymore.
"Wow! You are so cool, Leo!" Jiang Zhier held up its face, but was ruthlessly rejected by it again.
Leo felt a little confused, so he walked back to Yun Tan and lay down beside her, resting his head on her feet with his butt facing Jiang Zhier.
Yuntan couldn't stop laughing.
She took a photo of the two of them and the dog and wanted to send it to Elara.
The phone suddenly froze, one second slower than her operation speed. When it switched back on, Yun Tan was surprised to find that the photo had actually been sent to Lu Wangshan.
ah.
Yuntan quickly and long-pressed the photo, trying to withdraw it.
However, even if a withdrawal is made, a record will be left, which will lead to more misunderstandings.
She reported Leo's itinerary to Lu Wangshan... That shouldn't be strange, right?
Yun Tan was still hesitating when the chat box suddenly jumped to "The other party is typing..."
Lu Wangshan: "Where?"
Yuntan: "I was having dinner out with my friend and brought Leo along."
Lu Wangshan did not reply.
However, from that day on, the two of them would have brief conversations every day.
Lu Wangshan: "Did Leo go for a walk?"
Yuntan: "I'm taking a walk."
Lu Wangshan: "When you have time, you can take Leo to take a bath."
Yuntan: "Okay, I'll take him there tonight."
Yuntan: "Leo didn't finish his meal today. Is he feeling unwell?"
Yuntan: "Picture"
Lu Wangshan: "It's okay, he's picky about food."
The conversation between the two was so calm and natural that it almost gave Yun Tan the illusion that they had really let go of the past.
On the tenth day that Yun Tan was raising Leo, Lu Wangshan sent her a message that had nothing to do with Leo for the first time, a WeChat business card push.
Lu Wangshan: "A top-notch rehabilitation therapist. If your grandma needs help, you can contact her."
Yun Tan was stunned, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
She added that WeChat account. The rehabilitation therapist obviously knew that she would come to see him. Perhaps Lu Wangshan had informed him in advance.
Yuntan told the rehabilitation therapist about his grandmother's basic condition and asked him to come to the hospital the next day to make a rehabilitation plan for his grandmother.
This time, Yun Tan said to him sincerely, "Thank you."
Lu Wangshan did not reply.
-
Yuntan gets up at seven o'clock every day to walk the dog, goes to work at nine o'clock, goes home to heat up Leo's meal at noon, goes to the hospital after get off work, and then goes home to walk the dog. His every day is fully scheduled.
The design department holds a regular meeting every Monday morning, where everyone reports on work progress and coordinates work arrangements.
Yuntan adapted quickly. When it was her turn to report, she had perfected the entire CMF design and made the rendering. The colors were harmonious, the tone was unified, and the details were very simple and advanced. It was almost impossible to find any mistakes.
After Yun Tan finished his presentation, Ding Mian sat at the head of the conference table and asked for everyone's opinions.
After a moment of silence, someone smiled and said, "No problem, perfect, very harmonious and advanced."
Ding Mian smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then let's leave the CMF part as it is for now. I'll submit it first."
Yun Tan returned to her seat, and Li Sen said to her, "Miss Xiao Tan, you don't look like someone who just graduated."
Yun Tan had recently become familiar with Li Sen and replied, "Teacher Li Sen, is it possible that my aesthetic taste is unmatched?"
Li Sen laughed and said, "No, I'm already jealous of your talent."
Yun Tan also laughed and explained to her, "I specialized in car design when I was in college, and the work I submitted to Design Week was a concept supercar."
"The majors are so relevant." Li Sen was a little surprised. "Not many people who study product design start out studying cars."
Yun Tan shrugged: "It was an accident."
In fact, she chose this direction from the beginning because of an opportunity that came from Lu Wangshan.
…
She actually studied as a freshman in the country for one year, but her major was teacher education, which she hated.
At that time, Lu Wangshan had just started to take over the family business.
The Lu Group is one of the top financial groups in the country, encompassing financial institutions such as banking, insurance, securities, and venture capital. Its industries are spread all over the world and its financial strength is prominent.
Lu Wangshan was also very competitive. He had been very outstanding all along. He studied finance and law at Tsinghua University for his undergraduate degree, and obtained a double degree. Later, he studied management for his master's degree and also began to formally get involved in the family investment field.
Once he was on a business trip to inspect a project, and Yuntan insisted on going with him.
Lu Wangshan asked her, "Are you not going to class anymore?"
"I don't want to go."
Yun Tan never told Lu Wangshan that she had never intended to study at the normal school seriously. From that time on, she had been secretly studying IELTS and Italian in preparation for studying abroad.
Later, Lu Wangshan took her with him.
That was the first time Yuntan had actually seen a new energy vehicle. That year, new energy had not yet been officially promoted and was more of a concept.
There are many pessimistic voices in the market.
But Lu Wangshan finally invested in that project, saying that it was a trendy one.
Yuntan remembered it.
So when she was studying product design in Milan, she intended to develop in the direction of this trend mentioned by Lu Wangshan. She even took a minor in computer science and audited mechanical engineering courses. Although she really didn't have an engineering mind, the integration of knowledge points could also help boost her design work.
Later, Yuntan really saw the rapid development of new energy vehicles.
The small business that Lu Wangshan invested in became the automobile company with the highest transaction volume last year.
-
After the meeting, Yuntan checked the home surveillance to see what Leo was doing, but was surprised to find a small piece of vomit on the ground.
"Leo." Yuntan shouted at it through the surveillance camera.
When Leo heard his mother's voice, he immediately stood up, wagging his tail and nudging the camera with his nose: "Woof!"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Of course Leo couldn't answer, but he looked in good spirits.
Yun Tan felt relieved a little, but still wanted to ask Lu Wangshan.
It was almost time for lunch, so he should have finished his work. Yuntan called him directly.
After a few beeps, the call was connected, and Lu Wangshan's deep voice came out: "What's wrong?"
"I just saw on the surveillance camera that Leo seemed to vomit. Is it serious? Should I take him to the hospital?"
"Do you vomit a lot?"
"Not much, but I'm in good spirits and quite active."
"It's okay." Lu Wangshan said, "It's easy to vomit if it eats too fast. It's not sick."
Yun Tan finally felt relieved and said, "Oh," and after a moment asked, "When will you be back?"
"The day after tomorrow, I'll pick it up in the evening."
This time Yun Tan couldn't utter "Oh". She was reluctant to leave Leo. Just as she was about to ask if Leo could stay a little longer, Ding Mian suddenly came over.
"Is everyone free tomorrow night? Let's have dinner together," Ding Mian asked. "And finalize the design plan."
Everyone said yes and joked that they only agreed to work overtime because of the big meal.
Yun Tan whispered to Lu Wangshan on the phone, "Wait a moment."
"Boss Ding, I might not be able to attend the meeting tomorrow night. I have to go back to walk the dog and cook. Can I join the meeting via video?" Yun Tan asked, "Or I can rush over after I finish."
Everyone's attention was drawn to the question: "Xiao Tan, you also have a dog?"
"Ah, it's my friend's dog, I'm fostering him here."
Because he was still on the phone with Lu Wangshan, it became difficult to say "friend's dog".
Li Sen asked, "What kind of dog?"
"Doberman."
"Wow! That's so cool!" Li Sen loves pets. "Then why don't you bring your dog over? We can find a pet-friendly restaurant and eat together."
If more than a dozen people in the design department all wanted to touch and hug Leo, Yuntan estimated that Leo would be really annoyed.
So Yuntan refused with an excuse: "It has a bad temper. I'm afraid I won't be able to control it if I take it to a public place."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lu Wangshan's voice, which sounded a bit sarcastic and teasing: "Who are you saying has a bad personality?"
“…”
Yuntan's face suddenly felt a little hot.
The group chatted for a while. They were all young people who liked dogs. Finally, Li Sen suddenly suggested, "Why don't we go to Xiao Tan's house to buy some food? Buy something tasteless and use Xiao Tan's house for a meeting. Xiao Tan's house is close to the company! I really want to pet a Doberman!"
This time Yun Tan couldn't refuse, and nodded in agreement under everyone's expectant gaze.
"How can I refuse you when you ask me like that?" Ding Mian said, "Entertaining guests is tiring. Let's eat out."
After spending the past few days together, Yun Tan really likes these colleagues and doesn't mind them coming to his house. "It's fine, as long as everyone doesn't mind the small space."
Li Sen punched Ding Mian and said, "Si Cao, you and Xiao Tan have known each other for so long, why are you still so distant?"
Ding Mian went to Yun Tan and confirmed with her again, "Is it really convenient?"
As a result, Lu Wangshan on the other end of the phone also heard Ding Mian's voice clearly.
It was gentle and elegant, without any obvious memorable points. Lu Wangshan didn't know why he remembered this voice.
After all these years, he still remembered it in an instant.
Yun Tan nodded: "It's really convenient."
So the location for tomorrow night’s dinner was decided.
Yun Tan wanted to continue the previous topic, but when he looked down at his phone, he found that Lu Wangshan had hung up at some point.
