Yin is love: the reversal of women chasing men

Chapter 29: Single Men and Women (1)
Getting off work early, Cheng Yin didn't go home immediately, and asked the driver to stop at the delicious little station at the corner of Zhijie Street. She got out of the car and bought three skewers before returning to the car.

In the past few days, Yao Yuan's son, Yao Lizheng, reported to their home every day, and this chicken skewer was bought for him.

Three days ago, my uncle ran into a small car on his way home from get off work with his electric car, causing a broken leg bone. He was put in a plaster cast in the hospital, and the family was very busy all of a sudden.

Originally, Xiao Li, who was only in the first grade of elementary school, was picked up by her aunt. Now she has to stay with her uncle in the hospital around the clock. Yao Yuan and Li Hui have to go to work during the day, so they have no time to take care of their son.

Unfortunately, Li Hui's parents were traveling far away and could not take over their children.

This year coincides with the 35th anniversary of the marriage of Li Hui's parents. To show their filial piety, Yao Yuan and his wife booked them a [-]-day trip to Korea through a travel agency.The price is very cheap to go there by ship, but it is said that most of the time will be spent at sea.When the uncle and aunt heard about it, they all told Yao Yuan that they would never need such a service when they got their silver wedding.

But even if Li Hui's parents didn't go out to play, they lived in Tianfang, and Li Zheng went to school in the urban area, it would be difficult to get along.Uncle and aunt thought about it, and among the relatives, only Father Zhou was at home, and he was kind and down-to-earth, so the task of picking up and dropping off the children fell on him.

Every morning, Yao Yuan is responsible for sending the child to school, and after school in the afternoon, Father Zhou will pick him up and urge him to do his homework. After the child has finished dinner, Yao Yuan is almost busy on the other side, and then drives over to pick up Li Zheng. .

Father Zhou likes children very much, so he supervises Li Zheng's studies in a relaxed manner, so Li Zheng is a man who has everything he can do in Zhou's house, like a fish in water.When Cheng Yin comes back from get off work to join in, the three children, old and young, can turn the whole house upside down.

Cheng Yin rushed home holding the hot meat skewers, opened the door, and was surprised to find that Yang Fan had also come.

"I asked Xiao Yang to come over for dinner." Father Zhou smiled wryly, "He authenticated my painting, it's authentic!"

As soon as Xiao Li saw the meat skewers that Cheng Yin brought back for him, his eyes lit up and he rushed over, "Auntie, I want to eat meat skewers!"

Cheng Yin handed the meat skewers to Li Zheng who was overjoyed, looked at Yang Fan doubtfully and asked, "Is it true?"

"It's true." Yang Fan replied with a smile.

It was a hot day, and he was wearing a purple-gray T-shirt and a pair of light gray cotton slacks. It was rare to see him dressed so casually.

"I just came back from Shanghai today, and I called my uncle on the way..."

Before Yang Fan could finish explaining, Father Zhou had already grabbed the conversation and continued: "I have already said that this must be an authentic work, the old Tao who sold the painting to me patted his chest and promised me."

"However," Yang Fan said again, "my friends in the antique shop said that although this painting is Mr. Xu's calligraphy, it belongs to the middle and early works. The value of this painting has not been reflected yet.”

Father Zhou said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I don't intend to make a move." He glanced at Cheng Yin kindly, "I intend to leave it to Yin Yin as a dowry."

Cheng Yin rolled her eyes and made a choked expression, Yang Fan pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

Zhou’s mother came out of the kitchen with the food and told his wife, “Hurry up and remove the things on the dining table! Don’t dream there, your old Zhou’s family has been poor for three generations! It’s better to live in a down-to-earth way.” It's a regular day."

Cheng Yin smiled as she helped tidy up, "Dad, look at how confident our mother is when she speaks since she made a lot of money!"

"Stop imitating your father, you're a fool!" Zhou's mother slapped her, then turned her head to greet Yang Fan quickly, "Sit down, Xiao Yang, if you don't have any food, just eat."

Yang Fan looked at the five or six dishes on the table, each of which was full, and said with a smile: "It's very rich, auntie is too kind."

Cheng Yin secretly stuck out her tongue to her father, the dishes on this table were all from her father's handwriting, so she just borrowed flowers for her mother to offer a Buddha.

Zhou's mother said again: "I will come here often when I have free time. Since we are all relatives, we have to move around. Before you come, just call Yinyin's father." She looked at her wife meaningfully, " Our old Zhou really likes you."

Four adults plus one child, eating around a table, enjoyed themselves happily.

Cheng Yin and her parents made jokes without hindrance, and the whole house was filled with a warm atmosphere. Yang Fan couldn't remember how long it had been since he had dinner with his family like this, and he couldn't help feeling envious.

He turned his head and asked Li Zheng, "Did you make trouble for grandpa?"

Of course Li Zheng denied it, shaking his head like a rattle, "No! Grandpa likes me, doesn't he, Grandpa?"

"Of course!" Father Zhou agrees, taking a sip of the wine, "Oh, it's a bit tiring to take care of the child, but I'm happy! When Yinyin's child comes out in the future, I'll be considered experienced to start the job!"

After finishing speaking, I was very happy.

Cheng Yin glanced at Yang Fan in embarrassment, and called out dissatisfiedly in a drawn-out tone, "Dad—what nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhou's mother also gave his wife a look, "Yes! Yinyin's child will be taken by her mother-in-law in the future, it's not your turn to worry about it!"

"That's not necessarily true," the old man said seriously, "What if our in-laws are inconvenient to take care of the children! Anyway, I can be a backup!"

Yang Fan was sitting beside Cheng Yin, and couldn't help whispering to her secretly, "Your parents are really interesting."

Cheng Yin was speechless.

Naturally, Li Zheng was the one who ate the slowest, usually not fast, and today he ate three skewers of chicken, and there was not much room in his belly for dinner.

Zhou's mother frowned and blamed Cheng Yin, "What meat skewers did you buy him! It's dirty, if I let my aunt know, I'll definitely feel uncomfortable again."

Cheng Yin retorted, "I didn't buy it from a small stall. They are all legally operated and have health permits."

"I love to eat! I love to eat!" Li Zheng also pouted and yelled, supporting Cheng Yin.

Zhou's mother glared at him, "You don't eat dinner, you always eat junk food, be careful to let your father know and beat you!"

Li Zheng was most afraid of his father, so he didn't say a word at that time, and took every bite of the rice.

Cheng Yin couldn't bear it, rolled her eyes, and said to Li Zheng: "How about we play a game?"

"What game?" Li Zheng widened his eyes.

"Who eats fast in the competition! No.1 is called 'high-speed train', No.2 is slower and called 'moving train', and No.3 can only be called 'slow train', and it's still green!"

"I've been in a green leather car, but it was very slow." Li Zheng wrinkled his nose, expressing his disdain for the green leather car, and then asked slyly, "If I win, what prize will I get?"

Before Cheng Yin could think it over, her father interrupted, "It doesn't count if you win, my lord, but if you win, how about asking aunt to take you to take the high-speed rail?"

"When?" Li Zheng said ghostly.

Dad looked at Cheng Yin, "How about Saturday?"

Cheng Yin was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her father to be serious, "I don't necessarily have time!"

"Time is squeezed out! Let's make Saturday," the old man said in a tone as if he was her boss, and then turned to Li Zheng, saying with certainty, "If you can eat every meal like a high-speed rail Come on, my aunt will definitely take you for a ride on Saturday!"

Cheng Yin moved her lips, and was about to veto, but her father blinked at her, and she fell silent in a daze.

Li Zheng's beautiful eyes flickered twice, then quickly dimmed again, "But on Saturday, my mother will send me to learn Go!"

The old man rubbed the back of his head, "It doesn't matter if you don't go there once, I will discuss it with your parents and ask them to ask you for leave!"

"Really?" Li Zheng's little face jumped up again.

"When did grandpa lie to you?" The old man used his past credit to guarantee it.

Li Zheng was completely excited, "Okay!" He had never been on a train that was as fast as lightning!

Taking advantage of the momentum, Cheng Yin knocked on his bowl and shouted loudly, "Are you ready? Get ready—"

The word "start" hadn't been uttered yet, but Li Zheng had already buried his entire face in the rice bowl!
The result can be imagined.

After the meal, my mother washed the dishes, Cheng Yin accompanied the eating champion Li to play games in the living room, and Zhou's father called Yang Fan to the balcony. They drank health tea, and his father showed him various plants he had grown.

Dad's plant pots are luxuriant and full of nutrition. This is the result of his repairing through a stack of flower cultivation books.

"This pot of Clivia is so beautiful!" Yang Fan admired sincerely, and stretched out his hand to caress the bright and plump leaves of Clivia, "Uncle, this kind of flower is not easy to grow, right?"

"Hehe, that's not true. Clivia is very delicate, and I can't bear it if it's too cold or too hot, but I still like this kind of orchid the most, and I've kept it for more than [-] years!"

Cheng Yin heard her father sigh in the living room, and couldn't help laughing and interjected, "Dad, I also like Clivia. In case of a famine, the leaves can be picked and eaten. How much nutrition is stored in it! It's a pity that there are too few. How many slices!"

Xiao Lizheng ran over immediately after hearing the words, "Grandpa, what's delicious? I want it too!"

"Don't listen to my aunt's nonsense!" Dad said angrily, "You are greedy, let her cut out the cantaloupe I bought yesterday!"

After dismissing Cheng Yin and Li Zheng, the father stared at Yang Fan with a smile on his face, "Xiao Yang, I want to ask you something, you have to tell me the truth."

Yang Fan didn't know why, but he still nodded with a smile.

After glancing furtively, the old man made sure no one was eavesdropping, so he lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that you once chased Yin Yin, so do you still like her now?"

"I..." Yang Fan was embarrassed, his fair face flushed slightly, he hesitated but couldn't answer.

"Just say what you have in mind, and I can help you if you tell the truth, right?"

"...um...um." Yang Fan was vague, but the final "um" still affirmed his father's guess.

The old man smiled brighter, "Yes, that's fine, there's nothing embarrassing about it. I always thought you were good, but girls sometimes don't get their senses, and Yin Yin's girl gets it even later. You don't know, she was in primary school and His grades in junior high school were mediocre, and it was only in high school that he suddenly came out on top."

Yang Fan looked at Father Zhou's proud but obviously ignorant expression, his heart felt like a violent wave, and the warm current spread all over his body in an instant, and he suddenly realized that his admission just now was not entirely a false politeness, he was really quite I like Cheng Yin—the girl who is willing to study hard for him to change her laziness.However, whether this kind of love is the brother's love for the younger sister or something else is involved in it, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

The old man continued to be persuasive, "For girls, you have to be patient. When I chased her mother back then, she also looked unhappy, and then she became my wife!"

Yang Fan couldn't help laughing, seeing his father staring at him proudly, he nodded in agreement.

Zhou's mother's scolding and Cheng Yin's giggles came from the kitchen, probably Li Zheng was making trouble for them again, before they came out, the old man said to Yang Fan with a mysterious face: "I have a good one." This idea can give you and Yinyin a chance to get along well!"

In fact, Yang Fan had already guessed it, but he still put on an attitude of listening attentively, and listened carefully to Father Zhou's "trick".

When Cheng Yin came out with a large plate of sliced ​​cantaloupe, she happened to see her father whispering something to Yang Fan, his expression seemed to be plotting, she looked at the two of them suspiciously, and shouted loudly, "Come eat!" Cantaloupe!"

The old man hurriedly kept a distance from Yang Fan in a panic, turned around and pretended to smile calmly, "Come on, Xiao Yang, how about a taste of the cantaloupe I picked!"

When half of the cantaloupe was wiped out, Yao Yuan came to pick up the child.

He didn't expect to meet Yang Fan at Zhou's house, so when he saw Yang Fan sitting on the sofa laughing and laughing with Father Zhou, he stuttered, "Yang Fan? You, why are you here!"

"I ask Xiao Yang to do me a favor," the old man smiled and got up to smooth things over, and kindly invited Yao Yuan to sit down and taste the honey-sweet melon.

Yao Yuan's confused nerves could no longer bear the torment. He had just returned from the hospital after working all day. He was extremely tired, and he just wanted to take his son home as soon as possible.

Li Zheng took advantage of the fire to rob him, and grabbed his father's neck and begged for that short trip on Sunday. He knew that in front of outsiders, the chances of his father agreeing were much higher than at home.

The old man also helped to say good things, "He's been very good these days, he writes conscientiously, eats fast, and looks good in everything he does, and he will definitely have great promise in the future!"

Amidst the praise, Yao Yuan's eyes on his son gradually softened, and finally he couldn't resist the collective will, and promised Li Zheng that as long as he was so obedient for a week, going out to play would not be a problem.

Not long after Yao Yuan led Li Zheng away, Yang Fan also got up to leave. With the help of his father, of course it was Cheng Yin who sent him off again.

"What did my dad tell you on the balcony just now?" Cheng Yin's confusion has not dissipated, and she took this opportunity to ask Yang Fan.

"Nothing special," Yang Fan said with a smile, "just talk about flowers and plants."

How can Cheng Yin believe that talking about flowers needs such a mysterious and sneaky expression to cooperate?

"Is there something else he wants you to identify?" Cheng Yin guessed with a flash of inspiration.

"No, really not."

But Cheng Yin decided that was the case, and frowned and persuaded: "Don't worry about his business, really, it's a thankless effort! It also wastes a lot of your time, my dad sometimes drives people crazy."

Just as she was worrying, her feet suddenly stepped on the ground. If Yang Fan hadn't grabbed her in time, she would have rolled down the stairs.

"Look, you can't speak ill of your father!"

Cheng Yin burst out laughing, and when she raised her eyes, she found a gentle look in Yang Fan's smiling eyes, she suddenly lowered her head, and quickly killed the tight feeling in her heart in her swaddling bag.

"By the way, Brother Yang Fan!" Walking downstairs, Cheng Yin remembered something serious, "I heard from Liu Zongwei that the company's cooperation with you has been left untouched by the new boss, and Gordon seems to be preoccupied recently. These won't affect you, will they?"

Yang Fan pondered for a while, but did not answer directly, "AST has just completed the restructuring of its organizational structure, so it is reasonable for something to happen."

"So, does it really matter?" Cheng Yin stared at him suspiciously, but it didn't look like he was very worried.

Yang Fan smiled, "What should come will always come, there is nothing to worry about."

"It's true." Cheng Yin saw that he was calm and composed, and felt that her worrying was unnecessary.

After a rain, the breath of autumn is suddenly obvious.

In the company, because of Lin Ruhui's joining, everyone felt a sense of troubled times.

First, Peter's request for transfer failed, which made him very discouraged, and several times angrily clamored to change jobs; then, the hand-to-hand combat between Lin Ruhui and Gao Xiang also kicked off. Show off a sharp edge.

At the departmental meeting, Lin Ruhui openly challenged Gao Xiang, questioning his many slow-moving projects and why he had to hand over some side jobs to third parties.

Although Lin Ruhui was always polite when he spoke, and all of the things he mentioned had various data as professional credentials, anyone could hear the aggressiveness in his tone.

Thanks to Gao Xiang's self-cultivation, he tried his best to restrain himself, and the two managed to avoid a direct confrontation in front of his subordinates, but Gao Xiang's ashen complexion still showed everyone that he was in a disadvantageous situation.

Frank, the new head of the department who participated in the meeting by phone, mostly watched from the sidelines as an observer. Not only did he not help mediate Lin Ruhui's pursuit of Gao Xiang, but he asked Gao Xiang again in a pretendingly naive tone. It made Gao Xiang feel depressed.

For the first time, Cheng Yin experienced the thrill of a confrontational meeting.

On the one hand, she sympathizes with Gao Xiang. Of course, this sympathy also includes a subtle concern for Yingrui's prospects, but on the other hand, she has to be impressed by Lin Ruhui's meticulous logic and superb eloquence.

Indeed, with the strength of AST, there is really no need to get into such a complicated situation as it is now. The more lengthy the process, the more uncontrollable factors and variables are implied.

Liu Zongwei's pockets are always full of gossip, and during lunch time, he generously shared one or two with Cheng Yin.

It is said that Frank has long suspected that Gao Xiang is rigid in his work, and he has repeatedly refuted Frank's opinions in meetings, so Frank tried to transfer Lin Ruhui over because the latter has intelligent comprehension and strong execution.

"I think Frank's ultimate goal is to force Gordon to leave, and let Lin Ruhui replace him." Liu Zongwei said, "Think about it, why Lin Ruhui's positions are higher than ours. Go up in the sky!"

"Since you want him to leave, just say it directly! Why bother!" Cheng Yin expressed dissatisfaction.

Although she has a good impression of Lin Ruhui, she doesn't want to see Gao Xiang leave the stage sadly - no matter how dissatisfied she is with not being a full-time official, she can't deny it against her conscience.

These two people whom she doesn't dislike, are now standing on two sides that are incompatible, so she can't watch the fire from the other side with a leisurely mind.

"It's not that simple!" Liu Zongwei said, "The company is not owned by one person, and it doesn't matter who says it! To achieve the goal, of course you have to use your wrists. Let me tell you, the bigger the company, the more bureaucratic, and office politics. The more fierce!"

He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, and his eyes flashed with the light of rushing thoughts. After staying in this industry for a long time, Cheng Yin found that many people have occupational diseases like him. Dig a little deeper.

"I guess, if Gordon really capsizes this time, it will probably be because of Yingrui."

Cheng Yin's heart skipped a beat, "Why do you say that? The cooperation project cannot be approved, so just don't do it."

Liu Zongwei squinted his eyes, "Actually, what Gordon did at the beginning was considered a sideshow to the company's policy. Although other offices have similar practices, the amount involved is not high. If you can do it yourself, try to do it yourself. Therefore, Frank If they really want to mess with Gordon, they will probably make a fuss about it."

Cheng Yin pondered for a moment, then asked: "Why did Gordon choose to cooperate with a third party like Yingrui?"
