Chapter 6 (7)
Yu Meng went to see Yu Shuang, she wanted to ask how to thank Yuan Kai.
Xiaobai had indeed helped with the Federation's leadership change. And most importantly, it had been effective. The chairman's tone was now leaning more towards Yu Meng's side.
Like all rivers flowing into the sea, Yu Meng was eager to defeat Weng Yue and take the final committee seat. So, preparations for the thank you work began now.
Arriving at Shuang's house, an old man opened the door. Half of his hair was white, but he looked energetic and his eyes were bright. Yu Meng felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
The old man shook hands with her.
After a while, he introduced, "This is Chairman Kang." Chun'er greeted him and said hello, "Auntie."
Yu Meng hurriedly bent her waist at a 75-degree angle and said, "Nice to meet you." She thought Yu Shuang had changed his strategy, dumped Kang Long, and found an old man. Only when they spoke alone did Yu Meng realize that the old man was Kang Long's father.
This little girl! How dare you!
Yu Meng said quietly, "This single man and single woman, living in the same room..." She didn't say anything else, but it was full of meaning. Yu Shuang said angrily, "Sister - what are you thinking? She's the elder." Yu Shuang was dissatisfied with Yu Meng's tendency to make everything about men and women.
"Have you figured it out?"
"What."
"marry."
"Nothing."
"Then what's the preparation? Open a nursing home?"
Yu Shuang had no choice but to make it clear that he owed Kang Long a favor. Yu Meng suddenly realized and advised, "Many things can't be handled so fairly one-on-one."
"You're still the same, thinking about repaying the old man's favor."
Yu Meng quickly waved her hands, "You two are a couple, and I'm just a friend. These are two completely different things."
As Yu Shuang gathered the documents on the desk, she said, "It's all the same thing. They all have to obey the laws of the universe, the law of conservation of energy." Yu Meng knew it was useless to persuade her, so she stopped asking questions. She then told Yu Shuang about her situation, her message clear: first, she wanted her help analyzing it, and second, she wanted to ask if she could find someone else to help. Although Liang Cai was the main force right now, with Li Ren, Yuan Kai, and various other suitors helping (some of whom had already given up), Yu Meng never wanted too many avenues, just in case.
Yu Shuang said she could help ask around, but couldn't guarantee anything. As for analyzing the situation, Yu Shuang couldn't do it. She'd come up through the ranks, so she wasn't sure what to do next. However, Yu Shuang strongly recommended Chairman Kang. He was an experienced person with experience within the system.
"What chairman is he?" Yu Meng asked.
"Chairman of the trade union." Yu Shuang said. Yu Meng looked down on him in his heart, but then he thought it was always better to have one more person to give advice, and three heads are better than Zhuge Liang. Who knew that the two of them would go to Chairman Kang for advice. Chairman Kang's face drooped on the spot, and he said bluntly, "First of all, the chairman has no stance. Whoever is in power is in power. Whoever is capable and qualified will be in power. When it comes to serving the people, we cannot give personal favors or make decisions based on the way things are done. You should not do these roundabout things, and you must get rid of the selfish thoughts in your heart. Selfish, do you understand? Chairman Mao was most opposed to the word selfish! Now it's good! Selfishness is rampant!"
Yu Shuang was dumbfounded, and Yu Meng was unhappy, but the old lady kept talking, so the two of them had to listen to her forty-minute lecture. When they came out, Yu Meng shook her head. Yu Shuang thought Chairman Kang had a point. But seeing Sister Meng's persistence, she couldn't persuade her to withdraw from the competition.
The change of leadership is still in the making.
Yu Meng was already very enthusiastic about the work of the association. This time, when she went out to conduct research, she volunteered to lead the team to the southeast. Although Liang Cai had reminded her not to work on the dead, Yu Meng thought that it would be okay to work on the living.
Weng Yue's brother Weng Yang is a breakthrough.
After arriving at the place and finishing everything, Yu Meng called Weng Yang. Weng Yang was flattered. This was the first call Yu Meng had made to him since they met.
Yu Meng acted very naturally, coming on a business trip and visiting old friends.
Weng Yang relaxed his guard. He set the table in style. After a few drinks, Yu Meng smiled and sighed. Weng Yang asked her what was wrong, was it because of the poor hospitality? Yu Meng said, "I feel sorry for you."
Weng Yang shrank his neck and drank a glass of wine, "I'm used to it."
"In terms of character and talent, you are the best," Yu Meng gave a thumbs up. "If Sister Weng Qin were still here, you would definitely be... a general manager."
Under the influence of alcohol, Weng Yang became bold and unrestrained. He knew that his sister was in a relationship with Yu Meng, and he thought that Weng Yue had told her about all these things at home.
"It's a good thing I'm a man. If I were a woman, I guess it would be OK."
What does it mean? This sentence is crucial. The snake has already left its hole, and Yu Meng continues to induce it.
"My eldest sister also left in an unclear manner." She asked tentatively.
Weng Yang sighed again.
"Yueyue is too greedy. She can't be with her brother-in-law..."
"She's just too ambitious! But she's not destined for that!" Weng Yang shouted, "For so many years, besides me, her brother, who could support her? Who could forgive her?"
A shocking revelation. Yu Meng's suspicions were confirmed: Weng Yue had slapped her sister and brother-in-law's foot, causing her sister's death. That was why her niece had never accepted her. Hahahaha, Yu Meng laughed heartily. This was a scandal. After searching for it for so long, it finally came to her without any effort.
She quickly asked, "How did my eldest sister die?"
Weng Yang waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this! Mengmeng, if only all women in the world were as good as you..." Yu Meng couldn't bear to listen any longer. Stop, stop, stop. This man is really worthless—he helped her, but she looked down on him even more. Men can't be so careless! You think it's your wife's belt? Damn it! So Yu Meng toasted, and like Baochan, Weng Yang quickly passed out drunk. When he woke up, he forgot everything.
After Han Xiqian left, Yu Rui got a salary increase.
It was Ye Cha who informed her.
As he said this, he slanted his eyebrows and said, "Alice, please take good care of me in the future." Yu Rui smiled and said, "Please also take good care of Jack." Ye Cha smiled and said, "You are the first one who can handle the little girl." He didn't say the second half of the sentence. If you can handle the little girl, maybe you can handle her father.
Yu Rui certainly understood the meaning behind Ye Cha's sudden flattery, but she hadn't thought about it that way. It was like mountain climbing: leave Mount Everest to people like Yu Meng, and she could just climb the middleweight class.
Yu Rui indirectly thanked Han Xiqian. If she hadn't come, she wouldn't have had much reason to interact with Yuan Kai. To show her gratitude, she treated him to a meal, and he treated her back. Over time, the two of them formed a habit of frequently dining together in the building. They got to know each other better and better.
Yu Rui treated Yuan Kai as a friend and didn't expect anything from him. This made their relationship more natural and comfortable. Yuan Kai was still as sunny and idealistic as ever.
Between them lay triple seafood spaghetti, Chen's signature chicken drumstick rice, and a manor-roasted vegetable salad. Yu Rui ate the noodles, taking small bites. She was being reserved.
Yuan Kai asked casually: "Why don't you find a boyfriend?"
"What? Introduce me?" Yu Rui's first reaction was to brush it off. She couldn't talk about her past with Zu, Shi, or Huang Qi.
Yuan Kai laughed: "I never do this."
"Ninety-ninety-six all day long."
"That's no excuse."
"You didn't look for it either." Yu Rui counterattacked.
"I just broke up with someone." He smiled bitterly. It was someone my family arranged. Breaking up takes some thought. "I'm almost like Yu Shuang."
Yu Rui smiled sweetly, "You can't compare. She's more thoughtful not getting married than getting married. She takes care of Kang Long's father and everyone else."
Yuan Kai said he had heard that, it was amazing. He added, "She doesn't feel tired."
Yu Rui disagreed, "Isn't she tired? Her brother passed away, leaving behind three children. She's taking care of her eldest niece. How could she not be tired with such a responsibility on her shoulders?"
Yuan Kai said that he was overthinking it.
"Didn't you talk to a princess?" she asked.
Yuan Kai waved his hand and said, "You are young and frivolous, don't take it seriously."
“How many people dream of this.”
"Even if I were given a chancellor, I wouldn't be able to do it. I can't stand the constraints," he said. "I'd rather do something down-to-earth. Money and fame are not important to me."
Great. A feeling of admiration welled up in Yu Shuang's heart. She just liked his innocence. Yuan Kai asked how Xiao Xie was doing recently. Yu Rui was surprised that he still remembered her. Yu Shuang said that she was about to graduate and hadn't found a job yet. He asked what she studied. Yu Rui said that her major was public utilities management, and she minored in accounting and got an accounting certificate. Yu Rui took the opportunity to ask him to help her keep an eye out for good positions.
"Come to our company, we are short of people." He said while eating, seemingly casually.
"Don't joke."
"I'm serious," Yuan Kai said, "Give me a resume."
Bai Yuankai's sudden invitation made Yu Rui think a lot. She was happy and sad. She was happy that if her sister could join Yuankai's company, it would be very beneficial for her future career development. This opportunity should not be missed. The sad thing was that he had never invited her, Yu Rui, out. Was she not suitable? Too old? Or was she not skilled enough? Inexperienced? The only explanation was that he didn't take her seriously. Thinking of this, Yu Rui felt that Bai Yuankai seemed not as simple as she thought. He was more advanced, and he did everything without leaving any traces, which made people accept it, but unknowingly, everything was moving towards his predetermined goal. Could it be that Yuankai liked Yu Qi? Yes, my sister was simple, like a blank piece of paper, and men wanted to paint on her when they saw her. Even Yuankai was no exception.
Yu Rui couldn't help but feel a little jealous of her sister.
She kept the news to herself for three days, but eventually told Yu Qie. After all, they were sisters, and if Yu Qie could love someone on her behalf, and she could be his relative for the rest of her life, Yu Rui would be satisfied. She asked Yu Qie to send a resume, which she then passed on to Yuan Kai, and then waited for good news.
