Chapter 65 is practically a miniature version of Uncle Yan.
The concept of "first impression" is indeed mysterious; perhaps good-looking people tend to resemble each other.
Without thinking much, Shao Min served Shao Yun a bowl of fish soup as well.
"Thank you, Mom."
"You're welcome, son." It is said that every creature has its nemesis. Shao Min, a decisive and efficient female boss in the business world, is a sweet and gentle leopard in front of her son, without the slightest temper.
Yu Yan found it amazing to look at Shao Min like this.
After drinking too much soup, Shao Yun needed to use the restroom, so Shao Muyan took him there.
Shao Min sighed, "My son is so well-behaved!"
Yu Yan nodded, "Yunyun is indeed well-behaved, smart and sensible."
"So well-behaved it breaks my heart."
Shao Min sighed softly and said to Yu Yan, "Actually, the children in the orphanage are all quite well-behaved. They are just pitiful children. Whenever adults visit, they try their best to show their kind and obedient side, hoping to be adopted by kind families."
“Yunyun is different. When I first saw him at the orphanage, he was only three years old. He was thin and small, didn’t like to talk, and his most frequent activity was to count on the ground with pebbles.”
Shao Min leaned back in her chair and took a sip of tea.
“There are teachers at the orphanage who teach special classes. One of them told me quietly that Yunyun is the smartest child she has ever seen. Her mind works so fast. She is only three years old and already knows all the basics of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. She can also apply what she has learned to other situations.”
Shao Min spoke of her son with great pride, "When the teacher told me about him, I immediately thought of Ayan. I became interested and wanted to go see him. The first time he looked up at me, I felt like I had been struck by lightning!"
Yu Yan laughed. Min Jie was exaggerating, but she could understand her shock at the time.
She was also shocked when she first met Shao Yun.
“Yunyun does look a lot like Uncle Yan.”
"They are not just ordinary resemblances."
Shao Min took out her phone and scrolled through photos of Shao Muyan when he was a child. "Look, this is when Ayan was six years old."
Yu Yan leaned closer to take a look and her eyes widened.
"This is too much..."
"Yes or no?"
Shao Min shook her head and sighed, "He's practically a miniature version of Ayan. And Ayan didn't like to talk much when he was little, and he even complained that we talked too much and were annoying. Ayan was such a brat when he was little, Yunyun is much more well-behaved than him."
Just as he was complaining, Shao Muyan walked over with Shao Yun, saying, "You're talking bad about me."
"Yeah, I was just saying bad things about you."
Shao Min showed no embarrassment at being caught and readily admitted it. On the contrary, Yu Yan was a little embarrassed and smiled up at Shao Muyan.
Shao Muyan tapped her forehead. "Go ahead and speak, it's nothing."
—
After they had finished eating, Shao Min got down to business and talked about the research project that Yu Yan and his team were currently working on.
“I read the paper you published. Before I came here, I chatted with a friend for a long time. This friend is the owner of a technology company. I don’t know if you’ve heard of him.”
Shao Min mentioned a name, and Yu Yan paused for a moment before nodding almost immediately, "I've heard of it."
"You've heard of it."
Shao Min was quite surprised, "This tech company isn't very big, and its reputation in China hasn't fully taken off yet."
Yu Yan nodded, "Our team has done background checks. Huaxiang Technology is a typical high-tech small and medium-sized enterprise. Although it is not large in scale, it does high-tech projects and its strength is quite good."
Her voice was calm, but her level of understanding was clearly quite high. Shao Muyan and Shao Min both looked at her at the same time.
Yu Yan was still drinking fish soup when she looked up and smiled gently.
"We are indeed interested in cooperating with Huaxiang, but the project is still in progress and there is no rush."
"..."
Shao Min was astonished. "My God, you're so calm!"
That wasn't her main purpose in coming today; she just wanted to have a meal with them. She only mentioned this incident casually, but she didn't expect that Yu Yan would have the same idea!
Moreover, although they clearly have a strong desire to cooperate, they are not in a hurry, as if they can cooperate no matter what, it's just a matter of time.
It takes immense confidence and strength to remain so calm and composed.
“As far as I know, Xiangshi Technology and several other major manufacturers are interested in cooperating with WD Research Labs. I thought you would choose from among them,” Shao Min said.
Yu Yan shook her head. "These are the first technology companies we ruled out. They are large in scale, but their industrial chains are too complete and their processes are too complicated, leaving us too little room to maneuver, which is not conducive to long-term cooperation. This time we returned to China not only to develop a few projects, but also to shoulder the responsibility of chip research and development. We need a developing high-tech enterprise to grow with us, and Huaxiang best meets our cooperation needs."
Shao Min raised an eyebrow. "Then why didn't you contact Hua Xiang first?"
"Firstly, the project hasn't been completed yet, so there's no rush. Secondly, Huaxiang is a team that focuses on cutting-edge projects, and we can fully meet their needs. Even if we don't contact them, they will find a way to reach us."
Yu Yan smiled and said, "Well, here it is today."
Shao Min: "..."
She was stunned. Things were progressing much more smoothly than she had expected. She looked at Shao Muyan and asked, "I've become a matchmaker?"
"What matchmaker?" Shao Muyan laughed. "You're the bridge."
Shao Min smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'm just doing my duty as a servant. Since both sides are interested, I'll arrange a meeting another day for you and President Hua to bring your team to discuss things in detail."
Yu Yan nodded, "Okay."
Shao Muyan looked at Shao Min and asked, "Aren't you going to tell Yu Yan about your relationship with President Hua?"
Shao Min turned her head away. "What's there to say?"
Yu Yan looked up. "Hmm?"
"It's better to discuss this beforehand." Shao Muyan turned to Yu Yan and said, "President Hua almost became the Shao family's son-in-law."
Shao Min kicked Shao Muyan under the table, "Shao Muyan!"
"Then you tell me yourself."
Shao Muyan wasn't a gossipy person, nor did he intend to expose his older sister's shortcomings. He just wanted to tell Yu Yan about these relationships in advance to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.
They thought Shao Min was deliberately playing matchmaker for them in order to pursue men.
Shao Min understood all of this, but she still got angry and embarrassed, and kicked Shao Muyan again.
"What do you mean by 'almost'? It means 'far from'."
Shao Min didn't hide anything from Yu Yan and said directly, "Hua Zhidao used to be my junior. I tried to pursue him, but I didn't succeed."
"..." Yu Yan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. "How is this possible?"
Her surprised reaction was exactly the same as Shao Yun's; her eyes widened like a cute little kitten.
“Why not?” Shao Min laughed.
Yu Yan still couldn't believe it: "Sister Min is a heartthrob, popular with both men and women."
"?"
She spoke with a straight face, but Shao Muyan glanced at Yu Yan and felt that her words sounded strange.
Shao Min laughed heartily, then leaned over and lifted Yu Yan's chin, "Oh my, how can Yan Yan be so cute..."
Shao Muyan slapped Shao Min's hand away and gave her a warning look.
stingy person.
Shao Min pouted at her younger brother, then said to Yu Yan, "It's no use being a heartthrob; I'm at a disadvantage because of my gender."
gender?
Yu Yan was taken aback, but then she understood.
Oh, I understand.
Even if they can't be lovers, they can still be business partners; Shao Min has always been magnanimous when it comes to relationships.
She told Yu Yan that she was lucky enough to meet someone she truly liked in this life, and she didn't expect the other person to love her back.
The probability of encountering love in one's lifetime is small, and mutual love is extremely rare. She longs for it, but doesn't demand it.
Having Shao Yun is enough for her.
Yu Yan likes this view of love, and it is also an inspiration to her.
Shao Min was just about to contact Hua Zhidao when her second brother sent her a message asking where she was and if she was free.
I had just replied that I was having dinner at the Lin family's courtyard when a video call came in.
"My second brother is so annoying, he's always making video calls."
Shao Min muttered something, then called Shao Muyan and Shao Yun over, "Come quick, it's your second uncle on the phone, he probably misses you."
As soon as the call connected, Shao Min and Shao Mushi simultaneously raised their cameras, revealing their respective dining scenes.
And so, Yu Yan was caught off guard and saw Xiang Jingheng.
