After the meeting in Mandarin, Chu Yu and Shen Zhuyu had lunch. Instead of going to Deng Da Niang Dumplings or Yorkham, they found a nice lamb restaurant and decided to have lamb hot pot on such a hot day.
The mutton hot pot in Laojing City is exceptional. The Inner Mongolian meat slices are dipped in the pot, and the meat, which has no muttony smell, is dipped in chili sauce, sesame sauce, or other sauces. It's so satisfying!
Chu Yu cooked the mutton and gave it to Chen Zhuyu, who was overjoyed!
Of all the people around Chu Yu, she seems to treat everyone well, but Shen Zhuyu feels that Chu Yu treats her the best, and she is Chu Yu's adorable little darling.
"I had a busy schedule with classes and meetings at various companies on weekends, so it's been a long time since we had a meal together."
Shen Zhuyu blinked. "What, you want some alone time with me?"
Chu Yu suppressed a laugh. She actually liked Shen Zhuyu very much. This girl inexplicably clicked with her. After Shen Zhuyu stopped selling pornographic magazines, she came to rely on her. At the time, she didn't know that the two of them would go this far.
Now that Shen Zhuyu has come to Beijing to seek refuge with her, Chu Yu feels that she should take good care of her.
“I’m worried that you won’t be used to living in Beijing, and since you don’t have any relatives there, you might feel lonely.”
"Indeed, when I first came to Beijing, I felt very insecure because I didn't know anyone there. Later, I started my own business. Mandarin expanded to dozens of chain stores, and the Mandarin company occupies an entire building. I get along well with many of my colleagues, and I also manage human resources in the company, which means I have a legitimate career. With a career, I earn more money. I estimate that my dividends this year will be at least a million yuan. Chu Yu, I still feel like I'm dreaming. Before, when I sold a magazine called 'Passion,' I was lucky to earn a hundred yuan a day. Later, I sold clothes with you and started a clothing company. Now that Mandarin is expanding, I also have shares in the cosmetics department. Although the shares are not many, this brand connects me with all sorts of people, and I don't feel lonely at all now."
Chu Yu also felt quite emotional; it's not easy for people to come together.
Doing business in partnership is even more difficult.
The secret to a successful partnership is simply that one person makes the decisions, while those who don't should remain silent and not speak out about everything. Otherwise, the partnership will inevitably fall apart sooner or later.
Chu Yu was also very lucky. Shu Lan and Shen Zhuyu trusted her unconditionally, which gave her the courage to venture out on her own.
To put it another way, if Shen Zhuyu and Shulan were to cause trouble at the drop of a hat, complaining about having too few shares today, about the style of the clothes tomorrow, and about the advertising models the day after tomorrow...
If you hire highly paid talent, she'll complain about the high salary; if you hire recent graduates, she'll complain about their lack of experience; if you expand your company's business, she'll think you're being reckless.
With a partner like that, Chu Yu couldn't even last a month, let alone three years.
"Do you want to find a boyfriend?"
Shen Zhuyu wasn't unwilling to find someone, but she didn't want to force herself. She had no parents to look after her, and she was all alone, so she could do whatever she wanted.
She felt it was easier to live alone.
“You don’t have any relatives in Beijing. Even if you have colleagues, they can’t be with you every day, and you’ll still be alone during holidays. I’m thinking you should have a reliable boyfriend, so you can have family in Beijing. Someone can take care of you on weekdays, and you can come home to a hot meal after get off work. That’s better than being alone.”
Chen Zhuyu waved her hand, "Let it be, I really don't want to think about these things right now!"
Chu Yu's words were blessed; she had just said that Shen Zhuyu had no one to take care of her, and the next day, Shen Zhuyu fell off the shelf and sprained her leg.
"What happened?" Chu Yu was extremely worried. Shen Jun had fractured her leg before, and for many years after the surgery, her leg was still uncomfortable. She walked with a limp, and her leg often ached on cloudy or rainy days.
Although a sprained ankle is not as serious as a fracture, some people may not see anything on the outside after spraining their ankle, but there is actually a bone fracture inside that requires surgery.
Shen Zhuyu also felt that today was a bit unlucky.
“We have a lot of fabric in our warehouse, right? I’ve been learning to design recently, so I wanted to find a piece of fabric. The fabric was on the top shelf. I climbed up the ladder to get it, and out of nowhere a mouse appeared. It scared me so much that I lost my balance and fell down.”
Shulan was also very worried and wanted to take Shen Zhuyu to the hospital, but neither of them had a car.
"Should we call an ambulance?" Shulan asked.
These days, there are very few ambulances, and they are very difficult to call. Rather than waiting for an ambulance to arrive, it's better to go to the hospital yourself.
Chu Yu called Mi Fei, who was busy at Donglin Electric Appliances. He had just unloaded a box of goods when he received Chu Yu's call. He didn't waste a minute and came over right away after hanging up.
"Sister-in-law! Are you alright?" Mi Fei rushed over as soon as she heard someone twist their ankle.
Chu Yu was both amused and exasperated. "It wasn't me, it was my good friend Shen Zhuyu. She sprained her ankle and needs to go to the hospital for an X-ray to see if there's a fracture."
Mi Fei and Shen Zhuyu exchanged a glance. She had met Shen Zhuyu before, but they weren't very familiar with each other. After a quick greeting, Mi Fei opened the back door of the car.
Chu Yu and Shu Lan helped Chen Zhuyu into the car. When they arrived at the hospital entrance, there was still some distance to go before they went inside.
Mi Fei simply squatted down in front of Shen Zhuyu, "Get on, I'll carry you over!"
Shen Zhuyu blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. She had only ever seen men carrying women on their backs on television.
In the middle of summer, her clothes were very thin, and when she leaned on Mi Fei's shoulder, physical contact was inevitable, which looked quite awkward.
The important thing is that a woman like her, as strong as an eagle, can hop across on one foot, so why would she need a man to carry her?
Shen Zhuyu wanted to say that she could go by herself, but Chu Yu grabbed her arm and forcibly pushed her onto Mi Fei.
"Stop dawdling. By the time you've mentally prepared yourself, the hospital will be closed," Chu Yu urged.
Shen Zhuyu had no choice but to lie on Mi Fei's back as he carried her to the orthopedic clinic.
Mi Fei is of medium height, around 175 cm, not as tall as Dai Donglin, and looks thin.
But he was, after all, a child of a privileged family, and had been exposed to martial arts from a young age, having also practiced martial arts for several years.
Even if he didn't practice martial arts, the old men in the compound were afraid that he would become complacent and lose his ambition, so they urged him to get up early every day to run and practice military boxing. After so many years of training, he is still quite strong.
Sure enough, he carried Shen Zhuyu and ran like crazy to the clinic. The doctor thought Shen Zhuyu had some terminal illness. When he heard that it was just a sprained ankle, he had a meaningful look on his face.
