Chapter 397 Thank you, Giegie!
“Uncle Luo, here’s the situation.” Yu Huan explained calmly, “Wang Han often plays cards with my mother-in-law. They talked about me at the card table, and after a while, Wang Han became interested in me and wanted me to be on his show. That’s how we started to cross paths.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Ruiyang said with a touch of emotion, "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law certainly have a wide network of connections!"
The voice just fell.
An expression of great interest appeared on his face, and he continued, "The show 'Day Day Up' has a huge influence, with a large audience across the country. If you go on it, your popularity will rise to another level. At that time, I'm afraid even more people will know about you, 'Brother Leader'."
Upon hearing his humorous words, Yu Huan smiled slightly from under her mask and said, "It's just been mentioned briefly, and it hasn't been officially finalized yet. We'll have to wait for the production team to inform us about the specific procedures and timing. I won't think too much about it; I just want to avoid making a fool of myself."
Luo Ruiyang looked at Yu Huan's profile with admiration and said, "Young people these days all want to boast about themselves to the heavens. Yu, your humility is truly rare. With such a peaceful mindset, you're sure to never make a fool of yourself."
Yu Huan replied with a smile, "Uncle Luo, you flatter me. I just know my own limitations."
Luo Ruiyang laughed at this.
He glanced at Lin Yourong's graceful figure in the distance, then picked up on his earlier joke, teasingly saying, "Miss Lin isn't your average city girl. Since your parents-in-law have already approved of you by marrying their daughter to you, you must be one of them—"
As he spoke, he gave Yu Huan a thumbs up.
Upon seeing this, Yu Huan quickly waved her hand and said, "Uncle Luo, please stop joking with me."
“I’m not kidding you.” Luo Ruiyang said with a smile, “To put it simply, Miss Lin’s maternal grandfather is the former Party Secretary! I was fortunate enough to have a meal at the former Party Secretary’s house back then, thanks to your uncle.”
Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Why does it sound to me like, Uncle Luo, you used to go around mooching meals off your uncle?"
Luo Ruiyang burst into hearty laughter upon hearing Yu Huan's words.
He said repeatedly, "Back then, your uncle and I came back from the capital together. We were very close! I have to say, your uncle was a very capable person. I learned a lot from him and broadened my horizons a lot. I still remember the scene vividly. The old secretary was kind and approachable. After dinner, he entertained your uncle and me in his study and gave me a lot of insightful advice."
As he spoke, Luo Ruiyang suddenly sighed.
He raised his arm and patted Yu Huan's shoulder lightly, asking, "How is the old secretary doing these days?"
Yu Huan thought for a moment and replied, "Uncle Luo, Grandpa is still in good health. He takes a walk every day and reads books and newspapers. He lives a very regular life."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ruiyang smiled with satisfaction and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's good, that's good. The old Party Secretary is highly respected, and his teachings to us younger generations still benefit me greatly today. I really hope to have the opportunity to visit him again."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan smiled and gave a vague answer: "Uncle Luo, you're very kind."
At this moment, Luo Hao had already delivered the water to Lin Yourong and the others.
Holding a candied hawthorn in one hand and a fruit-flavored milk tea in the other, Wang Weiwei's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and she sweetly called out, "Thank you, Giegie!"
Yu Huan heard that clear, childlike voice from afar. Although it lacked some of its charm, she couldn't help but smile.
Luo Hao quickly turned back to Luo Ruiyang and Yu Huan, opened the plastic bag and handed it to Yu Huan, saying, "Brother, what do you want to drink? There's also Coke and Mirinda."
This kid didn't just buy drinks, he also bought two bottles of Wahaha mineral water.
Just then, Yu Huan saw that Lin Yourong had already taken a bottle of mineral water, so he reached into the bag and took out a Coke.
The bottle felt slightly cool in his hand. He smiled at Luo Hao and said, "Your dad can't drink sugary drinks, so this bottle of mineral water is for him, right?"
"Yes!" Luo Hao nodded without hesitation and said seriously, "He can't eat anything with sugar in it right now."
Luo Ruiyang casually took the bottled water that Luo Hao brought him, then handed him the cigarette butt that had almost burned out between his fingers, gesturing for him to throw it away.
Watching his son run briskly towards the nearby trash can, Luo Ruiyang smiled and unscrewed the cap of his mineral water bottle, saying leisurely, "My son is just impulsive; when he gets excited, he doesn't care about anything. But he's also straightforward and doesn't have any major bad habits."
Yu Huan smiled and nodded, saying, "I think he's quite filial."
Luo Ruiyang chuckled softly upon hearing this, tilted his head back, and took a large gulp. His Adam's apple bobbed, and water droplets slid down from the corners of his mouth.
He casually wiped his face with the back of his hand and said, "You young people love to drink these sweet and cloying things, but they're not good for your health. Many young people have diabetes these days because they drink too many sugary drinks."
"As long as you don't drink it like water every day, it's okay to drink it occasionally," Yu Huan said with a smile, casually placing the Coke bottle on her side.
After throwing away his cigarette butt, Luo Hao returned, stood to the side, slightly raised his head, and took a big gulp of orange soda.
After letting out a satisfied burp, he suddenly turned to Yu Huan, his tone full of anticipation, and said, "Brother, can I take a picture with you later?"
The words have not yet fallen.
Then, without hesitation, he added, "You're really famous now! Several of my buddies are using your picture as their profile picture! My classmates will be so envious of me!"
Looking at the enthusiasm on his face, Yu Huan smiled and said, "Taking a photo is no problem, but I'm just an ordinary person, nothing special—"
"Brother, please don't say that! You're famous online now!" Luo Hao's voice seemed to carry a hint of admiration. "Everyone says you're very handsome!"
At this moment, Yu Huan had already pulled her mask down to below her nose.
His handsome features and high nose bridge were fully revealed.
The bright sunlight shone on his face, adding a touch of dimension to his features and making him look even more resolute.
Luo Ruiyang glanced at Yu Huan's deep eyes and said with a smile, "Xiao Yu is indeed good-looking. I remember when I first saw him, I thought some movie star had arrived."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan replied with a smile, "Uncle Luo, please don't praise me like that. If you keep praising me, I'll want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into."
"Haha, Xiao Yu, don't be modest." Luo Ruiyang waved his hand and continued, "With your image and temperament, plus your calm personality, you're sure to have a bright future."
"Brother, you talk to my dad first, I'll ask you for a photo later!" Luo Hao interjected, then turned and started to walk away.
Yu Huan smiled brightly and said, "It's nothing important. If you want to take a photo, you can do it anytime."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hao paused in his steps, turned around to look at Luo Ruiyang, and asked him with a questioning expression.
Luo Ruiyang stood up cheerfully and said, "Let me take the photos for you."
"Okay! Thank you, Dad!" Luo Hao nodded emphatically, his joy evident. A little further away, Luo Yue, sitting on a flower bed, was eating a strawberry candied hawthorn with fruit-flavored milk tea, seemingly unbearably sweet.
Seeing them suddenly stand up and walk to the railing by the river...
Luo Yue quickly screwed the cap back on her drink and curiously hurried over to see what was going on.
A gentle river breeze, carrying moist air, caressed Yu Huan's face, ruffling his hair but adding to his carefree and dashing demeanor.
Luo Yue watched as Yu Huan took off his mask, and immediately stared intently at his sharply defined profile—
Is the boss really that handsome?
No wonder my brother said he's a big celebrity!
"Are you taking pictures? I want some too! I want some too!" Wang Weiwei shouted in her childish voice, carrying a beverage bottle in her arms, and ran over quickly with her short legs.
Xing Yujia quickly followed behind, carrying the candied hawthorn for her. Seeing this, she hurriedly called out, "Weiwei, slow down! Be careful not to fall!"
……
The crisp, rhythmic clatter of heels echoed from the bright, clean hall all the way to the open glass doors.
Sister Ru walked lightly out of the transportation department, stood on the steps, and looked up at the sky.
The sky was a clear, deep blue, like a gemstone, without a single impurity. A few fluffy white clouds drifted lazily by, like cotton candy.
The sunlight at this moment was noticeably less bright than at midday, instead carrying a soft, warm hue.
Sister Ru squinted slightly, feeling the gentle sunlight on her face, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Having just finished dealing with all her affairs and closed the case at the transportation department, she now had a bit of free time and couldn't help but ponder to herself.
I wonder how the baby is doing.
So far, Su Su and her husband haven't called her once, but that also means they must be taking good care of their child, right?
After all, Su Su and her husband are both very thoughtful and considerate people...
Thinking of this, Sister Ru couldn't help but feel some lingering concern.
She looked down and took out her phone from her crossbody bag, about to make a call to ask about the situation, but just as her finger was about to touch the dial button, she heard a series of light footsteps behind her.
Sister Ru subconsciously turned her head and saw two people in suits.
One was a tall, upright driver, and the other was a young man who arrived later, reportedly Mr. Luo's administrative secretary.
The young man carried a briefcase under his arm, looking shrewd and capable.
Her hand holding the phone immediately fell to her side, a smile appeared on her face, and her gaze first fell on the young man. She said gratefully, "Xiao Tang, thank you so much for today. You've gone to so much trouble."
Just now, it was Xiao Tang who was busy running around, communicating and coordinating with relevant departments and doing her best to deal with the people from the insurance company.
Xiao Tang bowed slightly, looked directly at Sister Ru, and said politely, "It's no trouble at all. These are all instructions from President Luo. It's what I should do. Miss Wang, you're too kind."
Looking at Xiao Tang's humble demeanor, Sister Ru praised, "Xiao Tang, you're so reliable. President Luo really has good taste."
Xiao Tang smiled and replied, "Sister Ru, you flatter me. I was just doing my job. It's my duty to do my job."
Sister Ru then turned to another, more reserved driver and said with a smile, "Brother, after all this time, you still don't know how to address me?"
The driver carefully examined Sister Ru's face, his gaze lingering on the fine lines at the corners of her eyes for a moment, before saying, "Sister, you can just call me Xiao Zhou. I was born in 1989."
His tone was crisp and direct, without any embellishment.
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru's expression froze, and she muttered to herself in surprise and confusion:
Miss?
Xiao Tang raised her hand and patted the driver's shoulder lightly, hurriedly trying to smooth things over apologetically: "Xiao Zhou is indeed from 1989. He served in the army on the frontier for a few years. The high-altitude areas age faster! He looks like he's in his thirties. He's just too straightforward and not very good at talking. He's a bit clumsy with words. Miss Wang, please don't take it to heart."
Sister Ru quickly regained her natural smiling expression.
She waved her hand gently and said, "It's okay. People who have served in the military are very honest. I'm already of an older sister's age, so just call me Sister Wang."
Xiao Zhou scratched his head, deep crow's feet appearing at the corners of his eyes, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister Wang, you look much younger than me. I really shouldn't have called you that just now—"
Xiao Tang coughed slightly and quickly interrupted him, saying, "That's just how Xiao Zhou is, straightforward and honest, but he's also reliable. President Luo often praises him for being down-to-earth and capable. Miss Wang, don't take it to heart. We handled everything very smoothly today, thanks in large part to Xiao Zhou."
Sister Ru said with deep agreement, "It's clear that Xiao Zhou is an honest person. I made such a big mess and caused him so much trouble, but he didn't say a word."
Xiao Tang said sincerely, "Miss Wang, please don't say that. This is not a problem or trouble at all. Since it has happened, let's work together to find a solution. And don't take it too seriously. President Luo is not an unreasonable person."
After getting to know him, Sister Ru thought to herself that this young Tang's talent for talking was no less than Yu Huan's; he could even talk a dead person back to life.
She nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you so much for today."
Xiao Tang quickly said, "You're too kind, Miss Wang. We'll take our leave now. I need to take him to get his car so as not to delay Mr. Luo's schedule."
Sister Ru remembered that the Rolls-Royce had already been towed away by a car carrier, and that a boss as big as Luo Ruiyang couldn't possibly only have one car.
She nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You all go ahead, thank you for your hard work today."
Xiao Tang bowed slightly again, speaking respectfully, "Miss Wang, you're too kind. It's what we should do. We'll be going now, and wish you all the best."
"See you again sometime," driver Xiao Zhou said curtly to Sister Ru, then turned and walked down the steps with Xiao Tang toward the parking lot on the side.
As Sister Ru watched Xiao Zhou's retreating figure, she couldn't help but chuckle.
