Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
The children grew up and the house became deserted. A few days ago, Shen Xiaohu's wife gave birth to a girl. The couple was busy with work and had no time to take care of the child, so Shen Chengzhong and his wife moved away.
After graduating from military school, Shen Yuchen and Shen Yuning stayed in the army and could only go home a limited number of times a year.
Shen Yuyan founded an investment company during his college years, and in the past two years, he has caught the real estate boom. He is often not seen for ten days or half a month when he is busy.
In July, the weather in the capital was as hot as fire. Sweat poured down her face even when she sat in the house. Old Mrs. Rong had developed many old illnesses during the Anti-Japanese War, and she was also old, so she couldn't stand the slightest bit of air conditioning.
Finally, Bai Xiuying and Lin Hongmei discussed it and decided to take Old Mrs. Rong back to her hometown in Northeast China to escape the summer heat.
Now only Su Yuehua and Shen Chengyi are left at home.
Early in the morning, Su Yuehua got up and went downstairs, and found that Shen Chengyi had already prepared breakfast.
Time seemed to be especially kind to her, not leaving too many traces on her face, but only giving her maturity and charm.
Shen Chengyi considerately peeled a boiled egg for her and put it in the bowl, "Why did you get up so early today? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"There is a charity event today and I must attend. Did Yanyan come back last night?" Su Yuehua picked up the egg and just took a bite when Shen Yuyan walked in wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a well-cut high-end suit.
He pulled up a chair and sat down, "Good morning, Mom and Dad."
"Good morning." Su Yuehua smiled and nodded at him. Suddenly she thought of something and said to Shen Chengyi, "Wanjun is married now, and my eldest brother can't always go there alone. I want to match him up with Qingzhu's mother."
Shen Yuyan put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, and said in a serious tone: “My uncle Su and Aunt Jiang are not suitable.”
Su Yuehua asked back, "Why is it inappropriate? I think your uncle Su has a good impression of your aunt Jiang. I'll find a chance to ask him in the next two days."
"Mom, I advise you to mind your own business." Shen Yuyan stood up from the chair, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
Su Yuehua was confused by his words and said angrily, "What do you mean by mind your own business? Your Uncle Su is my eldest brother."
"Yanyan, no more breakfast."
"No more."
Outside the Shen family courtyard, the secretary was waiting in front of a black car. When he saw Shen Yuyan coming out, he hurried forward and said, "Boss Shen, you have a group meeting to attend this morning."
Open the car door for him respectfully.
Shen Yuyan got into the car, took the documents handed over by the secretary, and ordered: “Secretary Zhang, send a woman to my Uncle Su.”
Secretary Zhang was so shocked that his mouth opened wide. He replied timidly, "Director Su? Director Su is an upright person. I don't think he would accept a woman if he was given one."
"Who told you to go straight to the bed?" Shen Yuyan's eyes flashed with sternness, and he said while flipping through the documents in his hand: "Find a good woman and have an encounter."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Secretary Zhang, my uncle Su liked a woman when he was young. Go check if that woman is single now. If she has a husband, find one based on how she looked when she was young."
"I understand. I'll do it in a moment."
The black car drove out of the compound and headed towards the commercial center.
.......
After graduating from university, Xu Qingzhu and He Chunni went to work at Shen Yuyan's company.
Because He Chunni had strong working ability and was eloquent, she was quickly promoted to company supervisor.
On the contrary, Xu Qingzhu has never been successful at work. He is either targeted by his superiors or taken advantage of by his clients.
Xu Qingzhu was really out of control today. The heel of her shoe was stepped on when she was riding the bus this morning. She limped to the company but was still two minutes late. Not only was she scolded by her boss, but she was also caught by Shen Yuyan.
After finally getting off work, she was about to leave the company with her bag on her back when He Chunni stopped her.
"Qingzhu, don't go home yet. Come with me to a dinner party. Li Lin from the PR department had an asthma attack after get off work. You take her place."
Xu Qingzhu raised his hand to push the black-framed glasses on his nose and refused, "I won't go. I told my mother that I will go home for dinner after get off work."
He Chunni rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you want to buy a house? Today's dinner is very important to our company. If the deal is successful, we will each be rewarded with 10,000 yuan. Even if it fails, we will still get 1,000 or 2,000 yuan in overtime pay. I only came to you because we have a good relationship. Just now, Xiaolin from your department wanted to go with me, but I didn't take her with me."
Ten thousand yuan was too tempting for Xu Qingzhu. Ever since Jiang Guiqin came, the mother and daughter had been living in the dormitory of the cram school.
Over the years, the mother and daughter have been living frugally in the hope of settling down in the capital.
Xu Qingzhu hesitated for only a second before agreeing, "I promise you."
He Chunni couldn't help but curl her lips. She looked at Xu Qingzhu with disdain, and pulled her upstairs to the office while saying, "Look at what you're wearing. You don't look like a woman at all. Standing next to Aunt Su, I would think you're older than her."
"I think it's good to wear this way." Xu Qingzhu didn't say that the black suit she was wearing was given to her by Su Yuehua. It looked inconspicuous but it was not cheap.
He Chunni led her to her office, picked up the red suspender mini dress, black stockings, and black high heels that she had prepared in advance from her desk, and stuffed them into her arms, "Hurry up and change them."
"I'll just wear what I have on. I'm not used to this kind of clothes and shoes." Xu Qingzhu looked at the dress with very little fabric in her arms with disgust.
He Chunni half-threatened, "Do you still want to make money? If you do, pay it back quickly."
Xu Qingzhu went to the bathroom reluctantly, holding the clothes in her arms.
…
President's Office on the 28th Floor
Shen Yuyan took off the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and rubbed his temple with one hand.
Secretary Zhang knocked lightly on the office door, pushed it open and walked in, "Boss Shen, the dinner you and Boss Wang have scheduled is about to start."
"Got it, tell Xiao Li to prepare the car." Shen Yuyan stood up from the boss chair, put his glasses on the desk, and walked out of the office with his long legs.
He was tall and straight, with fair skin and more handsome features than when Shen Chengyi was young. Under his black trousers, his long legs looked like the wind as he walked. His every move exuded a noble air, and he was so graceful that people couldn't take their eyes off him.
Xu Qingzhu followed He Chunni and took a taxi to the Capital Hotel. When he entered the hotel, he ran into Chen Yuyan. Xu Qingzhu was stunned when he saw him, lowered his head, and called out like a kitten, "Brother Chen."
