Three months later.
On the surface, Chen Yu seemed to have adapted to life without Chen Yan. Every day, besides eating, drinking, sleeping, and working, he would occasionally play the games he used to play when he had free time.
To outsiders, she seemed to be getting quieter and less inclined to share.
Huang Xiaoni's company has gradually expanded and has now gone overseas, with its partner country being France.
Upon hearing this news, Wang Yue immediately went to work for Huang Xiaoni's company without hesitation.
Huang Xiaoni called Chen Yu to her office.
"What's wrong?"
"Yu Yu, there's something I... want to discuss with you."
"Go ahead and say it."
Seeing Huang Xiaoni's hesitant expression, Chen Yu knew it must be something important, otherwise Huang Xiaoni would never bother her. These days, Chen Yu had secured several big deals on her own, and all her attention was focused on her work.
"Well...we're working with France, you know...we don't have anyone in our company who speaks good English, so we hired you. But we're hiring on short notice, and I don't really trust you."
"I understand, they want to send me."
"Yes, yes! Just for one year!"
Huang Xiaoni looked at Chen Yu with pleading eyes, almost kneeling down to beg for her attention. This French project was very important; if it succeeded, it could support the company for two whole years.
"Okay, I'll go."
Chen Yu agreed without hesitation. Anyway, she was tired of staying here, and going out to work would be a way to relax.
"The trip is the day after tomorrow, I've already bought your plane ticket!"
Chen Yu looked at the plane ticket Huang Xiaoni handed her. It had Chen Yu's name on it and the date was September 3rd.
"So you acted first and reported later?!"
"Hehe, I love you the most."
Huang Xiaoni gave Chen Yu a big hug and then took her to a high-end restaurant for dinner that evening.
Now people don't dare to mention Shen Yan when they chat; he's like a taboo word.
Chen Yu packed her things and covered all the furniture in the house with dust cloths.
He dragged his suitcase and walked away without looking back.
France.
As soon as Chen Yu got off the plane, the person who was supposed to pick her up called her immediately.
The other party was a Chinese-speaking person named Yin Hao, and the company was also mostly staffed with Chinese people.
Chen Yu suddenly began to wonder if Huang Xiaoni had deliberately tricked her into coming here, since there were only a few French people in the entire company.
"Ms. Chen, please go to the HR department to complete the procedures. I'll take you to your apartment in a bit."
"Okay, then please wait for me for a moment."
Chen Yu handed her suitcase to Yin Hao and quickly went to the HR department to complete the onboarding process. Her employee ID was soon handed to her. Chen Yu said thank you and quickly ran to Yin Hao's side to take her own suitcase.
Yin Hao led Chen Yu to the apartment. Her first impression was that the apartment was very unique, with a circular staircase.
Her room was on the fifth floor. There was no elevator, so she had to slowly climb the stairs. By the time Chen Yu reached the fifth floor, she was already panting heavily.
The main reason was that she was holding something in her hand; if she wasn't holding anything, she definitely wouldn't have acted like that.
"I'll drop you off here then. Don't go too early tomorrow, around 10 o'clock is fine."
"So late?"
Chen Yu looked at Yin Hao with some shock.
"Yes, that's the custom here. Don't talk about work during breaks! Remember that."
After giving Chen Yu his instructions, Yin Hao took the car keys and left.
Chen Yu opened the window and looked at the view outside. From this vantage point, she could actually see the Eiffel Tower, which immediately lifted her spirits.
She opened her suitcase and started packing her things; she hadn't actually brought much with her.
She carried only essential items, and still had the framed photo of herself with Shen Yan with her.
Even if they are no longer lovers, they are still family.
This is something that cannot be changed.
Shen Yan will always be her family.
It was already dark when Chen Yu finished packing. She took her cardholder and planned to go downstairs to find something to eat. She wasn't sure if the food here was good, so she searched for recommendations on her phone and found some good restaurants nearby.
We arrived after walking only a few steps.
According to the reviews, this is a small shop run by a chef, which is almost always packed every night. Many Chinese people also come to take photos. When Chen Yu walked to the entrance, she was immediately surprised by the scene in front of her.
It was exactly the style she liked, so she immediately took out her phone and snapped a picture.
She found a seat by the window, and the waiter politely asked Chen Yu in French what she would like to order. Chen Yu replied in English that she didn't speak French very well and asked if she could speak English instead.
The waiter immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, let Chen Yu order."
Chen Yu wasn't angry; she knew this was normal, as she had already prepared a plan before coming.
She ordered a medium-rare steak.
The dish arrived in less than twenty minutes.
She smelled the delicious aroma of the food and couldn't wait to take the first bite. Her first reaction was that it melted in her mouth and was incredibly tender!
I took a bite of the food and realized I'd forgotten to take a picture, so I quickly added one.
First, I posted it in the group chat, telling them that I had landed safely and had already eaten.
Secondly, I posted a message on my WeChat Moments with the caption, "I ate my favorite food."
Chen Yu also attached an address, admitting that she had a secret intention to get Shen Yan to see it.
But not much; I mostly just want to share.
After finishing their meal and paying the bill, Chen Yu took a stroll around the neighborhood with her phone and took many nice photos.
Passing by a flower shop, she was attracted by the flowers and bought a few to take home, as her living room needed some small decorations.
early morning.
Chen Yu wasn't woken up by an alarm clock, but by birdsong; several small birds were perched on her window, chirping away.
She got up and checked her phone; it was only a little past seven. She got up, and although she couldn't bear it, she still chased the little bird away.
She went back to bed and continued sleeping, setting her alarm for 9:10.
I need to wash up and eat breakfast after getting up, so I gave myself plenty of time.
After all, it's my first day at the company, so I need to make a good impression.
As soon as the alarm rang, Chen Yu sat up, quickly washed up, and went to a nearby bakery to buy some food.
She rushed to the company, only to find out she was the first one there. She had to wait downstairs for more than ten minutes before other people arrived one after another.
She didn't have the key and could only wait for someone else to come.
"Why are you here so early? Didn't I tell you to come a little later?"
Yin Hao looked at Chen Yu with a smile. He had two dimples on his cheeks, which were particularly deep when he smiled.
Chen Yu's first impression of him was also that his dimples were a distinctive feature.
"Ah, I tried to be as late as possible, but I still arrived early."
Chen Yu touched her hair and chuckled, actually she had run all the way here.
Yin Hao didn't say anything, but smiled and opened the door downstairs in the company building, leading Chen Yu upstairs.
"I came early because I was afraid you would arrive too early."
"Ah, you guessed right, hahaha."
Chen Yu didn't expect Yin Hao to arrive early. She glanced at the time on her phone; it was exactly one minute past ten.
