Chapter 67: The name "Yu Yan" resounds throughout the world.
On the way to the airport, Shao Mushi made a phone call to Shao Muyan.
Shao Muyan and Yu Yan had just taken the pudding out when Shao Muyan said, "You guys eat first, I'm going out to take a call."
Shao Min said, "Hurry back, or it'll be gone."
Yu Yan smiled and said, "I'll save it for you. You can go now."
Shao Muyan was extremely pleased; Yu Yan was still the best.
When he went outside to answer the phone, Shao Mushi angrily recounted Xiang Jingheng's various descriptions of Yu Yan, and Shao Muyan's eyes grew colder inch by inch.
"He's a real jerk, it makes me angry just listening to him."
Shao Mushi said, "Our father taught us from a young age that a man who mistreats his wife will never have any wealth, and that's really true. We should have brought your second sister-in-law along too; she could have cursed Xiang Jingheng to death."
Shao Muyan said coldly, "He's too idle. It's alright, I'll keep him busy."
"It's absurd enough that he came to see me once. I won't pay any attention to him next time."
Shao Mushi said, "I only went to see him because you asked me to. When we were on the video call just now, Xiang Jingheng's face did darken considerably when he saw Yu Yan."
Thinking of Xiang Jingheng's unfortunate state, Shao Mushi felt a sense of satisfaction. "How are you? Do you have any ideas?"
"It's promising."
Shao Muyan glanced into the room. "Just now, my sister threatened not to leave me any pudding, but Yu Yan said she would leave it for me."
The upturned corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.
"..." Shao Mushi was speechless: "I'm just about to go to the Maldives to pick up your noble and proud second sister-in-law, and you come here to show off your love in front of me, is that appropriate?"
Shao Muyan smiled and said, "Then you should try your best and bring your second sister-in-law back as soon as possible."
"Alright. Let's see who can do it best, brother."
—
Shao Muyan made several phone calls from outside before going in.
The pudding was all gone, but luckily Yu Yan left him a box.
Shao Muyan looked at Shao Min, "How much did you eat?"
"Three boxes, one of each flavor: blueberry, caramel, and mango."
Shao Min kept praising it, clearly still not satisfied, "It's so, so, so delicious!"
Before eating it, she never imagined that a pudding could be so delicious.
"Yunyun, is that right?" Shao Min looked at her son.
Shao Yun nodded. "It's delicious."
He doesn't really like sweets, and he can't eat as much as Shao Min, so he ate a box of blueberry flavored ones, which were a bit sour and neutralized a lot of the sweetness.
But it melts in your mouth and is absolutely delicious.
Yu Yan left a box of mango-flavored snacks for Shao Muyan. Shao Muyan glanced at her and smiled faintly.
He had just mentioned in the kitchen that "the mangoes are good today, the pudding will definitely taste delicious," so Yu Yan specially saved a box of mangoes for him.
Who says people in STEM fields have a linear thought process? They are actually incredibly meticulous.
After leaving the Lin family courtyard, Shao Min took Shao Yun with her.
She will probably stay in upstate for about a week, and aside from work, she will spend most of her time on parent-child activities with her son.
"Does Sister Min bring Yunyun with her when she goes to work?"
On the way back, Shao Muyan was driving, and Yu Yan was sitting in the passenger seat asking questions.
Shao Muyan nodded, "Yes. I'll bring them whenever it doesn't interfere with work or is convenient to carry. I don't shy away from Yunyun's presence."
Yu Yan exclaimed sincerely, "Sister Min is so good to Yunyun, even a biological mother wouldn't be this kind."
"We clicked."
Shao Muyan said, "Shao Yun is also well-behaved; there's no reason not to dote on him."
"Yes." Yu Yan's eyes and brows softened as she thought of Shao Yun.
Shao Muyan could sense that Yu Yan was in a good mood tonight.
Yu Yan doesn't need anyone to guess her emotions; she expresses them directly. Her expression is like a barometer, mostly calm, but you can tell at a glance when she's happy.
But she rarely affected others, and even when she was angry, she would digest it herself. That night's heavy drinking was a rare moment of indulgence.
Shao Muyan wanted to make her happy, and even more so, he wanted her to prolong that feeling.
"Want to listen to some music?"
Yu Yan nodded, "Okay."
Shao Muyan turned on the stereo, and a classic Cantonese song, "Half Moon Serenade," slowly flowed out.
"But my heart is always with me."
She still possesses it.
She is like the moon.
Still not speaking…
It is clearly a song about lovers parting, but to a discerning listener, it takes on a different meaning.
When the light turned red, Shao Muyan gently pressed the brake and glanced to the side.
With the car window half-open, the warm yellow light shone on Yu Yan's fair and delicate face, giving her an antique look, much like an elegant and charming Hong Kong star from that era.
A gentle night breeze stirred, lifting a few stray strands of hair. Yu Yan felt a tickle and smoothed them back with her hand, revealing her smooth forehead.
She didn't open her eyes, and unconsciously hummed along to the song, her Cantonese not quite standard, but she could still manage a tune. Shao Muyan found it extremely cute and couldn't help but laugh.
I quietly turned the volume down a bit; even the Golden Melody Award winner didn't sing as well as Yu Yan.
—
The same song was playing in another car heading back to the hotel.
"Violin solo solo"
The bright moon leans against the deep autumn.
My longing, my yearning
Until later.
Sitting in the back seat, gazing at the boundless night, Xiang Jingheng felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness.
I don't know how to love.
He suddenly realized this.
What is love?
Tonight, the second master of the Shao family taught him a lesson: love is not about condescendingly bestowing charity, but about me, such a proud person, being able to lower my proud head for you.
He used to look down on people who were obsessed with love, but now he desperately wants to have that ability.
Will Yu Yan ever come back to him?
—
After that day, Yu Yan was once again caught up in a new round of busyness.
When she gets busy, she usually becomes completely oblivious to what's going on around her, and once she enters the lab, it's rare for anyone to find her.
Shao Muyan knew that their project had entered a very critical computational period and was just waiting for a result, so naturally he wouldn't disturb them or let anyone else disturb them.
As soon as Xiang Jingheng returned to Shangzhou, he was busy dealing with all sorts of things, and he was extremely busy.
For some reason, Xiangshi Technology and some of its smaller companies have been experiencing a series of major and minor issues that require his attention. He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Yu Yan again.
He was busy and couldn't get in touch with Yu Yan at all.
It can only be temporarily shelved.
Meanwhile, Yu Yan is receiving a series of good news.
On the day the project was completed, Shao Muyan sensed something was off as soon as he entered the laboratory.
"What's wrong, are you having trouble?"
Just as Shao Muyan was about to offer some words of comfort, saying that it's normal to encounter difficulties during the research process, Yu Yan looked at him with a smile and said, "Uncle Yan, it's done."
Now it was Shao Muyan's turn to be stunned.
It's done?
It's done.
Following the publication of a paper on novel ultra-low power micro-nano electronic devices by Yu Yan, the WD Lab has developed a new mechanism ultra-low power device that has broken the international record for subthreshold swing of silicon-based tunneling devices.
The device's overall performance is the highest among similar devices reported internationally, which has shocked the scientific research community and academia.
In no time, the names "Yu Yan" and "WD Research Lab" became known all over the world.
"President Xiang!"
Jin Fan rushed into the office, his face full of excitement. Xiang Jingheng was also watching the news. The area outside the office was already in an uproar.
Every researcher would be excited about this.
So cool!
With trembling hands, Xiang Jingheng immediately called Yu Yan to sincerely congratulate her.
It shows that the call is currently in progress.
Yu Yan was on the phone with Hua Zhidao, the CEO of Huaxiang Technology, while Shao Muyan sat next to her. "Yes, we've arrived. You and Sister Min, drive carefully, no rush."
Shao Muyan ordered a bottle of red wine, and Yu Yan asked, "We're discussing cooperation today, are you willing to drink?"
"A small drink won't hurt."
Shao Muyan said, "You can drink, it's okay if you get drunk, I'll just stay sober."
Yu Yan chuckled softly and casually pressed a button on the phone. She answered the call that Xiang Jingheng had just made without even realizing it.
Those last few words made Xiang Jingheng suddenly stand up.
"Yu Yan, where are you?"
Yu Yan and Shao Muyan both looked at the phone. Yu Yan blinked as she looked at the call that had been answered on the screen.
The call was abruptly cut off.
Xiang Jingheng: "..."
