Shen Yu smiled and replied to Director Sheng, "Alright, I won't argue with you."
She didn't continue arguing with Director Sheng. When it was time to pay the bill, she would have Xiang Hong quietly pay it for her.
She can't be so tactless as to let these leaders do things for her and then expect them to treat her to a meal in return.
If she's really that naive, will these leaders still be willing to help her in the future?
Although she brought them some results and benefits, the ones who benefited the most were her and her company!
The group split into two cars and headed to the Oriental Hotel for dinner.
The Oriental Hotel opened in 1961. It is a five-star hotel with an oriental garden style and Lingnan culture. It is also one of the earliest five-star hotels in Guangzhou that is dedicated to receiving foreign guests.
The Oriental Hotel exudes Chinese charm, with its antique style and understated luxury, making it very distinctive.
Upon arriving at the Oriental Hotel, the group met up and headed towards the restaurant.
Just then, Shen Yu heard a familiar voice call out, "Shen Yu, Shen Yu..."
She stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
A familiar, refined-looking man's face came into view.
Beside him stood a middle-aged couple with familiar faces, and a young woman who seemed unfamiliar to him, holding the hand of a six or seven-year-old girl.
Shen Yu searched through her deepest memories and found the information about the man and the middle-aged couple.
Chi Longfei! And his parents!
Shen Yu couldn't find any memories of the young woman and child.
Chi Longfei was the original owner's former neighbor and childhood friend.
His father was a professor at a provincial university, and his mother was a department store manager.
Chi Longfei and the original owner were classmates. They were in the same class from elementary school to high school and went home together after school. The two had a very good relationship.
Before anything happened in the original owner's family, both families tacitly agreed that the two of them would stay together in the future.
The two teenagers also regarded each other as their future romantic partners and marriage partners.
Unfortunately, the Shen family was struck by a man-made disaster, and their lives changed drastically, turning them into villains that everyone avoided.
Chi Longfei's mother had connections in her family, and she quickly arranged for his father to be transferred to the grain bureau. They then moved away, and the family was safe and sound.
The naive and innocent original owner of this body even went to the Chi family for help after her parents were sent to the countryside.
As a result, he was ruthlessly kicked out by Chi's mother.
Chi's mother also sternly warned her never to come to their house again, lest she tarnish Chi Longfei's reputation, as Chi Longfei still needed to find a partner.
The original owner never expected that the two families, who had always been close, would turn against each other so quickly.
Heartbroken, she couldn't believe that Chi Longfei would be so heartless towards her.
She waited until Chi Longfei was alone, then went to confront him and asked him if he really wanted to break up with her.
Unfortunately, under her expectant gaze, Chi Longfei only coldly replied with three words, "I'm sorry!"
Only then did the original owner realize that the most beautiful feelings she once thought were so fragile in the face of cruel reality!
The change in the Chi family's attitude is just one example.
Those who were not close to her family treated her even worse.
Later, the original owner chose to go to the countryside.
She wanted to move to a different place so she wouldn't have to face those familiar yet disgustingly grotesque faces anymore.
As Shen Yu recalled this, she felt disgusted by this family.
She ignored them, gave them a cold glance, and continued walking away.
You kicked me when I was down back then, now I'll make you regret it!
Director Sheng asked her with concern, "Chairman Shen, is she someone you know?"
Shen Yu smiled faintly, "I don't know her, she may have mistaken me for someone else."
As soon as she said that, all these intelligent people understood.
Those few people who wanted to curry favor with him were people that Chairman Shen didn't want to deal with.
Without even thinking, it must be because they didn't get along in the past.
Otherwise, even if it were just for the sake of saving face, Chairman Shen wouldn't have treated them with such complete indifference.
The conversation between Shen Yu and Director Sheng was overheard by Chi Longfei and his parents, and the three of them immediately turned pale and fell silent.
Chi's mother sneered, her tone sarcastic and sour: "I never thought she would have a day when she could turn things around. Now that she's so smug, she doesn't even respect us anymore."
Chi Longfei glanced at his mother and said to her impatiently, "Mom, we were the ones who ignored Shen Yu first. Now that she's doing well, isn't it normal that she doesn't want to talk to us?"
Chi Longfei's words left Chi's mother speechless, feeling as if a breath was stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down, and her face turned ashen.
Seeing his wife like this, Chi's father patted her back while scolding his son, "Longfei, say less and don't upset your mother."
The young woman who had been standing by as an observer was Chi Longfei's wife, Weng Lina.
The little girl she's holding hands with is Chi Longfei and her beloved daughter, Chi Luan.
Weng Lina always felt that her husband seemed to have someone else in his heart and didn't love her; he was just making do with her.
Now, seeing the elegant, beautiful, and graceful Shen Yu, and the light in her husband's eyes when he saw her, Weng Lina seemed to suddenly understand.
She felt a chill in her heart, as if a lump had been blocked in her throat, and she couldn't help but hold her daughter's hand tightly.
"Mommy, my hand hurts so much..."
It wasn't until her daughter cried out in pain that Weng Lina came to her senses and quickly comforted her, "Luanluan, be good, I'm sorry! Mommy accidentally used too much force just now. Mommy's blowing and it won't hurt anymore, Luanluan, be good..."
Looking at her daughter's little hand, which had been gripped so tightly it was red, Weng Lina felt a pang of pain in her heart and gently blew on it a few times.
"Okay, the pain is gone..."
After being comforted by her mother, Chi Luan smiled again, "Mommy, I'm not in pain anymore..."
Mother Chi glared at them irritably and shouted angrily, "Get out of here! What are you still doing here? Don't you think it's bad luck?"
Weng Lina watched her mother-in-law storm out, feeling somewhat speechless.
Her mother-in-law held immense authority in the family, often ordering her son and daughter-in-law around. If they didn't get what they wanted, she would say hurtful things and give them the cold shoulder.
Sometimes Weng Lina couldn't help but argue with her, and not only her father-in-law would criticize her, but even her husband would criticize her.
Over the years, Weng Lina has been enduring it all, and as she endured it, she felt that she was about to develop breast nodules.
Seeing that Shen Yu was ignoring them, Weng Lina suddenly felt very satisfied. Finally, someone could handle them.
Shen Yu had no idea that her appearance would cause more and more conflicts within the family, until the family broke up.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
However, seeing the ruthless Chi family, Shen Yu was reminded of another person who had secretly helped her when she was in trouble.
