The man looked to be in his mid-twenties, well-dressed and elegant. He was looking at Mu Yu with a smile. Mu Yu only thought he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Hello, Miss Mu." The man greeted her politely.
"Hello." Mu Yu responded and thought, but could not find an image that overlapped with his in his mind, so he had to turn to look at Xin Yihan.
Before Xin Yihan could speak, the man spoke up to explain: "My name is Yunzhe. We met at the annual meeting of Yihan Company last year."
"Oh, Mr. Yun, I'm sorry." Mu Yu still looked apologetic - she still couldn't remember.
Yun Zhe obviously saw through her expression and chuckled: "I don't blame you, I just blame me for having a popular face."
"Uh, no, I have a bad memory."
"Ignore him, he just likes to joke." Xin Yihan smiled and led Mu Yu, who looked embarrassed, to sit down. "There were so many people at that time, so it's normal for you not to remember him."
Yunzhe smiled and said, "According to what you say, it's abnormal for me to remember Miss Mu?"
"It's not abnormal, it's just that Xiaoyu's singing voice is so beautiful."
Xin Yihan announced her marriage to Yin Xiaotian in a high-profile manner at the annual meeting. Although Mu Yu was very sad at the time, she still sang a song for them to express her congratulations. She sang very enthusiastically and won unanimous praise from the audience.
Yunzhe said with a smile: "Indeed, after listening to Miss Mu's singing, I completely understood what it feels like to have the sound lingering for three days."
"Mr. Yun is too exaggerated." Mu Yu was embarrassed by the praise.
After signaling to the waiter to serve the food, Xin Yihan answered with a smile: "It's no exaggeration, I feel the same way. Not only have I not had dinner with you for a long time, but I have also not heard you sing for a long time. How about we go to a karaoke after dinner?"
Yun Zhe praised: "This is a good idea. I'll call Xiao Tian on board later."
Hearing Yin Xiaotian's name, Mu Yu's heart tightened. She turned around and saw Xin Yihan still had a smile on her face. She tried to ask: "Where is Sister Xiaotian?"
"She's working overtime."
"Working overtime? Didn't you apply for marriage leave?"
"The company has been very busy recently, and I couldn't spare time to accompany your sister-in-law on their honeymoon, so we postponed our honeymoon. She couldn't sit alone at home, so she went to work yesterday."
The words "your sister-in-law" made Mu Yu stunned. This was the first time Xin Yihan called Yin Xiaotian that way in front of her. She felt a little disappointed, but she was more happy for their stable relationship, especially happy that he didn't ask about it. Regarding Qin Jinhuan's matter, she felt a little guilty and was afraid that something would be revealed, so she sincerely asked: "By the way, isn't today the day for you to 'return home'?"
"Her father passed away due to illness at the beginning of the year, and her stepmother remarried, so she doesn't have to 'return home'."
"Oh. I didn't expect such a big change to happen to Sister Xiaotian's family, and I didn't even know about it."
Seeing that Mu Yu felt a little guilty, Xin Yihan immediately smiled and comforted: "It's been more than half a year, and your sister-in-law has long been relieved. By the way, Yunzhe's singing voice is also good. You guys will compete in a while to see who can be honored as Mai Ba."
"I'm definitely not as good as Miss Mu." Yunzhe smiled while pouring juice for Mu Yu.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yun." Mu Yu took the cup with both hands and said shyly, "Actually, I sang blindly."
"Call me Yunzhe. It's more approachable." Yunzhe smiled and said, "You can sing so well while singing blindly, so if you want to sing seriously, you must be the first lady in the music world?"
Xin Yihan smiled and said: "You two, please stop being modest. Xiao Tian and I will be the referees later and give you two a score."
Yunzhe immediately said: "Then you two have to be responsible for giving us awards."
"Would you like to hold another press conference to announce to the world that you two have won the award?"
"That's for the best."
"Okay, I'll call the entertainment reporter now and give you a live broadcast."
Seeing that Xin Yihan actually took out his mobile phone, Mu Yu was shocked and quickly pressed it to stop it: "Brother Yihan, you can't do it. I, I don't have the ability."
"Silly girl, I'm teasing you. I'm calling your sister-in-law to talk about K song."
"oh."
Mu Yu then let go and raised his eyes to see Yunzhe looking at him, knowing that he had just lost his composure and bared his teeth at him in embarrassment.
"The signal here is not good, you eat first, I'll go out and call Xiaotian." Xin Yihan said and got up and went out.
Mu Yu shouted: "We are waiting for you to eat together."
"Don't wait for him, let's eat first. You don't look good, drink some wolfberry, red dates and black chicken soup." Yunzhe said while taking a small bowl to serve the soup for her.
"Thank you, I'll do it myself."
"You are Yihan's sister, and I am Yihan's buddy, so you don't have to be so polite." Seeing her take a few sips of chicken soup, Yunzhe turned the osmanthus rice cake to her and said, "This osmanthus rice cake is not bad, try it. ”
"Thanks."
Osmanthus rice cake is Mu Yu's favorite. When this dish was first served, she was so greedy that she swallowed her saliva from the aroma. If it hadn't been for Yun Zhe's presence, she would have raised her chopsticks. At this moment, she put a piece of rice cake with osmanthus sugar in her mouth and tasted it carefully. The fragrant but sweet but not greasy osmanthus complemented the chewy rice cake. She was full of praise for a while, and she just ate it as she ate it. There was a question.
"This plate of sweet-scented osmanthus rice cake is so delicious, aren't there any additives added?"
"No, it tastes delicious because this osmanthus is the best golden osmanthus from Anping Mountain. It is not contaminated at all. Every petal has been carefully selected. The sugar used to pickle the osmanthus and the rice used to make the rice cakes are also carefully selected. Of course, the rice cake making chefs and rice cake frying chefs have also been carefully selected, and their skills are top-notch. Otherwise, good osmanthus sugar is useless without good rice cakes.”
Mu Yu was extremely surprised: "So complicated? Then shouldn't this plate of osmanthus rice cake be several times more expensive than ordinary osmanthus rice cake?"
Just then Xin Yihan walked in and interrupted with a smile: "It's either several times more expensive or simply unavailable. This is specially prepared by the hotel chefs for Yun Zhe, a big foodie."
"Ah?!" Mu Yu felt incredible.
"He torments these cooks as much as he likes."
"I really can't speak, how can I call this a torment for the cook?" Yunzhe immediately argued, "Food is the most important thing for the people. Tasting delicious food is one of the great joys in my life. It is not only to satisfy the desires of the lips and tongue, but also a kind of spirit. level of enjoyment.”
Xin Yihan sat down with a smile, picked up the chopsticks and said: "It's just a meal, how can there be so many profound philosophies? For me, eating is just to fill my stomach."
Seeing Xin Yihan's chopsticks flying rapidly among the dishes, Yun Zhe shook his head and sighed: "Do you know that you are wasting everything by devouring it?"
"Whether you taste it slowly or wolf it down, everything you eat turns into the same substance in the end, so I don't think there is any difference."
"You are a typical person who only cares about the results and not the process."
"The result is more important than the process. Xiaoyu, are you right?"
Mu Yu was listening to their conversation carefully. She didn't expect Xin Yihan to suddenly ask this question, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, she agrees with Yunzhe's point of view more, because she is also a foodie, but not as particular as Yunzhe. But she felt that she couldn't criticize Xin Yihan's face in front of outsiders, so she didn't say anything, just smiled dryly and nodded slightly.
"If you ask Xiaoyu like that, Xiaoyu will definitely not be able to refute your face."
Unexpectedly, Yunzhe revealed her thoughts right away. Mu Yu was a little embarrassed for a moment. After thinking for a while, she compromised and said: "The process exists for the result. Without the process, there is no result, so the process and the result are both important."
"Our argument is really embarrassing for Xiaoyu," Xin Yihan laughed, then turned to Mu Yu and said, "Yunzhe and I are used to bickering, so you don't need to take it too seriously. You prefer Yunzhe The point of view is also very normal. The reason why I am not particular about food is entirely because my family was poor when I was a child. If I had something to fill my stomach, I would not have any other extravagant expectations. Lifestyle habits formed over the years have become ingrained and cannot be changed.”
"Didn't you even have enough to eat when you were a kid?"
Xin Yihan rarely talked to Mu Yu about his childhood, so these words surprised her. When she was a child, she grew up in a closed and backward ravine, but even if the living conditions in the ravine were not good, she would not be starved of food, so she could not imagine the kind of living situation Xin Yihan mentioned.
"My family used to be poor. But now that life is better, I think I should learn from Yunzhe, a foodie, how to enjoy life. This beef is good, you can try it."
Looking at the beef in the bowl, Mu Yu knew that Xin Yihan would not continue the previous topic, so she did not ask any more questions. After all, the past was just memories, and the present was the most important thing.
"It's the same beef, but the taste of delicacies made from ingredients taken from cattle raised in captivity and cattle raised in free range is completely different."
"Can cattle also be free range?" Mu Yu expressed curiosity.
"Of course you can. It's the same as raising chickens and ducks. If you have a chance, I'll take you to the forest where I raise carnivores."
"You mean, you have a forest that provides food for your animals?" Seeing Yunzhe smiling and nodding, Mu Yu suddenly felt a sense of awe. After staring at Yunzhe for a long time, she suddenly shouted Get up, "I know where I saw you!"
"Oh? You finally remembered me?" Yun Zhe said with a smile on his face.
"Yes! It wasn't at Brother Yihan's annual meeting, but on the TV talk show a while ago! So you are a senior executive of Yuchi Industrial, right?" Mu Yu was in awe for a moment.
Her words made Yunzhe a little disappointed, so the smile on his face couldn't help but drop when he nodded.
"It is said on the Internet that Yuchi Industrial intends to acquire Laoxiangyun Community in the west of the city and the land to the west of it. Is it true?"
"Xiaoyu!"
After hearing Xin Yihan's reminder, Mu Yu realized that his question was inappropriate, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, because my family lives in Laoxiangyun Community, and my parents are particularly concerned about the demolition, so I I couldn’t help but ask one more question.”
"It's okay, this is no longer a trade secret. It doesn't hurt to talk to you." Yun Zhe said as he glanced at Xin Yihan, a hint of reproach flashed in his eyes.
"Do you really want to demolish it?" Mu Yu didn't notice this detail and just continued to wonder about his own question.
"Yes, plans are already being drawn up. These shrimps are good."
"Thank you." Mu Yu took the shrimp from him on a plate and looked at him while eating, listening carefully to his words so that he could go back and tell his parents. He didn't realize that there was anything wrong with Yunzhe's actions just now.
"A few days ago, the company held a special meeting on compensation for residents of Laoxiangyun Community. The plan..."
"Little words."
"ah?"
When she heard someone calling her, Mu Yu turned around instinctively. She didn't want to see Qin Jinhuan standing at the door of the box. She was startled and stood up in a hurry. Unexpectedly, the movement was too large, causing her body to lose balance.
"ah!"
"Be careful!" The next second, she fell into Yun Zhe's arms.
