As soon as Zhen Ling's words came out of his mouth, there was a long silence around him.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Yuhe recovered his voice: "G...is that so?"
He explained dryly: "Maybe it's because I stayed in the examination room for a long time and didn't breathe well. When I came out, I was a little stuffy and my breathing was not smooth, so my face was hot."
What he said was neither logical nor persuasive, but after hearing this, Zhen Ling said, "Oh, then you should breathe."
She was considerate and didn't ask the other party why he was fine when he left the examination room just now, and he didn't feel bored until he came out after the examination for so long.
Zhu Bo on the side answered: "We picked a few places just now, let's see where we want to eat together?"
Lin Yuhe: "Okay."
This topic was exposed in this way, and Lin Yuhe also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Several people discussed it, and finally decided to eat hot pot at the bottom of the sea. The four of them took the subway to the mall together. On the subway, Lin Yuhe couldn't help but recall what happened just now.
To be honest, Lin Yuhe himself felt a little surprised by the reaction just now.
Except for the shame after making a mistake, he actually seldom blushed. Lin Yuhe thought about it for a while, but he didn't remember when he blushed last time, but he remembered that many girls would blush when they came to him.
Just like he didn't understand why those girls blushed, Lin Yuhe also didn't understand why he had that reaction. In fact, if Zhen Ling hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't even have realized his blushing.
Lin Yuhe thought about it carefully, and still felt that maybe he was not used to being in contact with unfamiliar people.
Due to his asthma, Lin Yuhe was forced to develop a quiet temperament. Since he was a child, he has been unable to run and jump freely like ordinary children, and has been trying to avoid going to crowded places as much as possible. Until high school, Lin Yuhe was still issuing certificates to be exempted from physical examinations. He never squeezed through inter-class exercises, nor did he take physical education classes, and rarely had physical contact with others.
Although this situation changed a bit after the surgery and college, there were basically only a few roommates who would have close contact with Lin Yuhe. It's normal to be nervous when you first get intimate with someone you don't know very well.
Moreover, Mr. Lu himself has a strong aura and a strong sense of presence, making it difficult for people to ignore it easily.
Lin Yuhe thought about it seriously, and finally he was able to explain clearly to himself.
But he soon realized another thing—
Just a hug will cause a strange reaction, so what should I do after getting married
This question popped up in his mind suddenly, causing Lin Yuhe's neck to shiver.
… No way.
There was a sudden uneasiness in his heart, and he could only try to comfort himself.
If it's just an agreement to get married, it shouldn't be... to that extent
It can't be that there are still cameras facing the bedroom, they have to act.
Lin Yuhe reluctantly convinced himself, and just when his mind calmed down a bit, he received a call.
He glanced at the screen.
The call was from stepmother Wu Xin.
Wu Xin's attitude towards this stepson who looks exactly like his biological mother has always been lukewarm. Lin Yuhe has been in college for four years, and the number of times Wu Xin took the initiative to contact him can be counted on the fingers.
But during this time, she has been calling Lin Yuhe frequently. Not to mention the messages, sometimes there are dozens of them at a time, and Lin Yuhe will habitually ask Lin Yuhe to reply "received" at the end.
Lin Yuhe actually didn't really want to answer these calls from her. But the phone kept vibrating, and Lin Yuhe finally picked it up, as if he would not give up if he didn't get through.
"Have you finished the exam?"
The slightly shrill female voice came to the ears accompanied by the noise of the subway running, which made the eardrums slightly numb. Lin Yuhe took the phone a little farther away, and pressed the pinnae of his ears, and then he eased up a little.
On the phone, Wu Xin was still asking questions.
"Have you contacted Director Lu?"
She had been urging Lin Yuhe to contact Lu Nan before, but Lin Yuhe said that there was no time for the exam, so after the exam, Wu Xin called.
Lin Yuhe said, "I just finished the exam."
Wu Xin said: "Then you can contact Director Lu and ask him if he is free tonight, so you can have dinner together."
She is a professional manager, and she is used to giving orders. She always speaks with an orderly tone.
"You are going to get engaged soon, the more contact you have, the better."
Lin Yuhe said: "Mr. Lu has something to do at night."
"You know he's busy at night even before you contact him?" Wu Xin smiled, "Why, you still know about Director Lu's itinerary?"
Lin Yuhe pursed his lips, but did not speak.
He did know, but Lu Nan personally found him and told him face to face.
But Lin Yuhe knew it. If he told about Mr. Lu's coming to find him, his stepmother would definitely use this to make more demands, so he didn't intend to mention it.
Wu Xin only thought that Lin Yuhe didn't speak because of a guilty conscience, and he didn't bother to argue with him, so he urged him directly: "Call me quickly, and call me back after the call."
Seeing her stepmother insisting so much, Lin Yuhe pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Lu really doesn't have time at night. He gave me a card before, and asked me to eat with my roommate."
There was an obvious pause on the phone: "...he gave you a card? What card? His bank card?"
Wu Xin asked a series of questions, her tone seemed inconceivable.
In contrast, Lin Yuhe still had that indifferent and calm tone, and only responded briefly: "En."
When Lu Nan took out the card, Lin Yuhe glanced at it, and it was indeed a bank card. It was probably a secondary card or something. Lu Nan didn't explain, nor did he ask.
Lin Yuhe didn't ask, but the other side of the phone asked eagerly: "What color is that card?"
Lin Yuhe: "Black."
"Is it the Centurion's black gold card?!"
Wu Xin's excitement could almost be conveyed through the phone.
Lin Yuhe was not infected by the excitement, and his tone was still flat: "I don't know."
Wu Xin didn't care about his attitude, and asked, "Is there a head portrait of a man wearing a helmet on the card?"
Lin Yuhe was not very enthusiastic about this fact, but his stepmother insisted on asking, so he had to take out the card in his pocket and take a look.
"yes."
Wu Xin laughed suddenly, her tone softened a lot: "Okay, I'm fine, let's go eat, have fun with my classmates."
Lin Yuhe didn't know why her attitude changed suddenly, and he didn't want to investigate it carefully. Not long after the phone was hung up, the subway arrived at the station.
Lin Yuhe and his roommates walked into the sea ridge together, and they were greeted by a strong aroma of hot pot.
Those messy thoughts were temporarily suppressed.
In his early twenties, it was time to eat. The four big boys ordered a full table, almost all of which were meat. Just putting them out made people feel better. Knowing that they had just finished the exam, the clerk enthusiastically wrote four words with red chili oil in four seasoning bowls: the exam must be passed.
The meal was so overwhelming that even Lin and He were taken to eat more, and they finally warmed up.
Lin Yuhe grew up in Shucheng and has a top-notch spicy food. Zhen Ling, who was opposite him, was much less handsome. While eating, she sucked out a tissue, and the tip of her nose was wiped red.
Lin Yuhe looked at him distractedly a few times, and felt something was wrong: "What's wrong with you? You've been wiping your nose."
"Ah?" Zhen Lingweng said in a low voice, "It's okay, the seasoning made it a little spicy."
Lin Yuhe looked at him again, but frowned and said, "Did you catch a cold?"
Zhen Ling was stunned, a little unresponsive: "No, right? I don't feel it myself."
Zhu Bo, who was sitting next to him, heard it, and touched Zhen Ling's forehead and neck with his hands, but he really felt an unusually high temperature.
Zhu Bo was surprised: "No, you really burned up."
"Huh? But I was fine just now..."
Zhen Ling still looked dumbfounded, and now several people could see his dullness.
Shen Huixi directly picked up the phone: "Apart from fever, what other symptoms do you have? I'll call Huang Tuan to run errands and bring the medicine."
After the cold medicine was ordered, a large cup of hot water was ordered, and Zhen Ling, who had no serious reaction, was settled, the few people continued to eat.
Zhen Ling was reluctant to part with his hairy belly, so he insisted on eating clear soup instead. While eating slowly, he was curious: "How did Hehe know that I have a cold?"
He has always had a fever and doesn't blush, and he doesn't show any abnormalities in his appearance. In addition, he is not sensitive to various symptoms, and he always doesn't know when he has a fever.
During college, Zhen Ling had a cold and a fever three times, and it was Lin Yuhe who noticed it first.
Lin Yuhe said: "After the exam today, when you leaned on me, your body was a little heavy and your breathing was heavy. It should be due to lack of energy, but you didn't pay attention."
At that time, he wanted to mention something to Zhen Ling, but he was distracted by Lu Nan and forgot about it.
"Just now you have been wiping your nose again, I wonder if you have a cold."
Zhen Ling was a little too late to straighten out the logic, and then let out a "wow".
"Hehe is so careful."
This is true. Lin Yuhe is recognized by the entire academy as a suitable doctor. He has good grades, gentle personality, considerate and careful, and always takes good care of people.
Lin Yuhe was angry and funny when he heard this: "Is this the point? Drink more hot water, and take the medicine first when it arrives."
He poured another bowl of hot water for Zhen Ling, and told him to rinse off the oil before eating.
"Next time, if you feel dizzy and heavy again, please pay attention in advance. Every time you have this symptom, you will have a fever."
Zhen Ling nodded obediently, and was very cooperative: "Yeah, thank you, Dr. Lin."
The cold medicine was delivered soon, and after Zhen Ling took the medicine, the meal was almost finished. Lin Yuhe got up to check out, but did not take out the card that Lu Nan gave, but paid the money by himself.
Lin Yuhe has income from accepting business manuscripts, and it is not difficult for him to pay for a hot pot meal.
On the way to the bar, Lin Yuhe vaguely felt that someone was watching him, but he looked around and found nothing unusual.
At the checkout, that feeling of being watched came back. Lin Yuhe frowned, but didn't show anything.
After paying the bill, he took the list and left. After walking away for a few steps, he quietly turned back from another aisle.
Lin Yuhe stopped at the corner, and glanced at the bar with his head. As he expected, there were indeed people in front of the bar.
It was a strange man with his back turned to him, wearing a baseball cap, his whole body was tightly covered, and when he was talking to the bartender, his voice was very low.
But it just so happened that there was no noisy background noise in the shop, so Lin Yuhe could hear his words clearly.
It was an unfamiliar male voice, Lin Yuhe could be sure that he did not know this person.
He asked, "Can I have a copy of the bill for table 73?"
Lin Yuhe frowned.
73 is exactly their table number.
Worried about being noticed by the other party, Lin Yuhe didn't stay longer, and left after confirming that the strange man had nothing else to do.
He didn't know the reason why the other party did such a thing, but he always felt that this person should be targeting him.
But what is the intention of the other party to follow him to print the bill
Lin Yuhe was thinking about this when someone came up to him and asked him with a warm smile, "Hi sir, can you help me fill out the questionnaire? We can give you a skip-the-line ticket."
Isn't it difficult to get the skip-the-line ticket for the sea ridge? Lin Yuhe was a little surprised. Zhen Ling had been clamoring for it before, but after tossing for a long time, he couldn't get it.
He looked at the employee uniform on the other party, and after confirming that the other party was indeed a regular employee, he nodded.
"good."
—
Taiping Building.
It was already ten o'clock at night, and the towering buildings were still brightly lit. Since the new chairman took office, many affairs need to be dealt with, and Taiping Group has been busy.
In the high-level conference room, a cooperation project is still being discussed. This time should not be arranged for cooperation negotiations. Although Taiping has become accustomed to working overtime recently, he still has to consider the working hours of the partner company.
But this time it was pure accident. Originally, this large-scale cooperation had been scheduled to be negotiated every Wednesday afternoon. This week, because Taiping Chairman Lu Nan went out temporarily, it was planned to be interrupted once, but the partner said they were willing to wait, so they stayed until the evening.
Although it was a bit late, the negotiation of the cooperation project went smoothly and the progress was quite gratifying. The boss of the partner is always a big man from the Northeast, and his behavior is very forthright. As soon as the discussion is over, he waved his hand and asked everyone to have supper.
"Go! I invite!"
The invited guests also included Lu Nan. To be precise, the partner boss wanted to invite Lu Nan.
The boss had doubts about the young new chairman before. But as the cooperation deepened, his attitude changed completely. Not only was he quite optimistic about the prospects of this cooperation, but he also wanted to have further contact with Lu Nan.
Naturally, Taiping can also feel the enthusiasm of the boss of the partner, so although the company will provide overtime meals, everyone happily followed the boss to eat supper.
However, Lu Nan did not go with him.
He still has a job.
The boss expressed his understanding: "The business is important, the business is important, you are busy first."
He checked the time with his Porsche mobile phone, it was almost eleven o'clock, it was really late.
The boss couldn't help sighing: "Dong Lu is really young and promising."
A large group of people went to eat supper, and their departure also took away a lot of laughter, and the building became more and more quiet late at night.
Lu Nan returned to the top office and continued to process the remaining documents.
The space on the top floor is extremely wide, and the huge circular floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the bustling scene outside. The bright lights of the surrounding tall buildings are within reach, but this place seems to be closer to the dark night.
Since the building was built five years ago, the top floor has been the exclusive office of the chairman. However, the former chairman, Liu Gaoyi, had been working in the old building. He hadn't been to the new building very much, and the top floor office had been idle until Lu Nan came over, and it was not really put into use.
It's just that after this man came, he didn't add much popularity to this place.
The furnishings customized according to personal preferences and matching sizes are mostly black, white and gray, and they are neatly arranged indoors, making the office look cold. Everyone who came here to report affairs did not dare to speak loudly.
Even if the temperature here is controlled at 26 degrees, which is the most suitable for the human body all year round, it cannot dispel the unspeakable coldness.
"Tut Tuk."
The communicator sent a prompt sound simulating knocking on the door. After the permission was approved, Fang Musen, the special assistant, walked in, stood beside the solid wood desk, and reported to Lu Nan the work situation tonight.
After the report was over, Fang Musen paused for a while, but did not leave, as if he still had something to say.
Lu Nan continued to look through the documents without looking up: "What's wrong."
Fang Musen said: "It's Young Master Lin's business."
Lu Nan said concisely: "Say."
Fang Musen said: "Young Master Lin and his dormmates went to eat at the bottom of the sea tonight, and he returned to the dormitory fifteen minutes ago."
Finished
Lu Nan paused for turning over the documents.
Why didn't he receive the consumption reminder of the bank card
Before he could ask, Fang Musen had already given an explanation: "Master Lin didn't use your card."
Lu Nan looked up at him.
Fang Musen has been with Lu Nan for so long, so he naturally understands the silent question of the other party. He has already prepared a follow-up response comprehensively: "Our people asked Lin Shao to fill out an online questionnaire in the form of a consumer survey, and asked him why he didn't use a bank card."
Lu Nan rarely opened his mouth to ask: "Why?"
Fang Musen showed an indescribably weird look, and coughed before speaking.
"Lin Shao said... because your card does not have student discounts."
Lu Nan: "..."
