Chapter 427 Heartless in a CEO Novel (7)
Sunday, noon.
Xia Youmi went to Yu Li's house and opened it directly with the key; there was no loud password prompt.
although,
Yu Li's sleep quality is just as good as hers, and she's not easily woken up. However, given the unpleasant scene at the hospital last night, the message to report home didn't arrive until after 5 a.m.
Xia Youmi guessed that the other person needed a long sleep to replenish their energy.
After putting down the old girl who would help her find her way, Xia Youmi started simmering the main dish in a pot. The ingredients had been delivered that morning, and she had prepared them at home beforehand. Then she took out her favorite tea set and slowly savored the tea leaves that her father had given her.
The interior design of Yu Li's house is very different from that of Xia Youmi's.
of course,
This was done intentionally.
They actually share many similar tastes in style and items, but to add some romance, they deliberately arrange them differently. For example, only Xia Youmi's family has a coffee machine and good coffee beans, while Yu Li's family has a complete tea set and tea given to them by family members.
Over the years, their tastes have become quite compatible.
However, for more interaction, if one person wants to drink tea, they have to go to the other person's home. If you miss Chinese-style design and bedding, try spending a night at Yu Li's place; Xia You Mi's place focuses on convenience.
Every now and then, they'll set up some special little surprises that you have to interact with to discover.
In this way, the sense of novelty remains constant, and friction is minimal.
When Yu Li got up, Xia Youmi had already changed into a new outfit in the guest room. It was a modernized version of Hanfu that looked ethereal and was suitable for home wear. The fabric was soft and breathable, but the only downside was that it was inconvenient to do housework while wearing it.
This was no problem in Yu Li's amazed gaze.
The young man, who had been feeling somewhat depressed, jumped up and suddenly became full of energy.
He could praise anything—her beauty, her abundant energy, the deliciousness of the tea she brewed.
Even Niannian couldn't escape Yu Li's excited clutches, making a smack in the same spot, replicating Xia Youmi's action from yesterday.
Unfortunately, he was hungry. The stew was ready, and even with the delicious food and people around, he couldn't rely on just a glass of milk to have the same energy he had yesterday.
"Staying up late is bad for your health!" Yu Li sighed softly as she held the soup that nourished her blood and qi.
Xia Youmi understood, but she didn't want to understand.
"Don't worry!" she changed the subject. "I heard from the nurses at the hospital that they're going to expand recruitment this year, with new staff coming into every department to relieve the pressure on you active doctors!"
"Um... I'll have to train people then, so I'll have to work overtime, just like the senior brothers and sisters who trained me back then." Yu Li thought of those chaotic days. As a newcomer, she was busy, and the veterans leading the team were just as busy.
Besides making house calls, they have to worry about everything, from small things like purchasing and storing office supplies to big things like accommodation.
According to the communication, the elderly will only be able to resume normal routines once the new batch of personnel stabilizes.
Hearing this, Xia Youmi smiled helplessly and said, "Then I can only buy you more medicinal herbs to keep on hand."
“I… okay.” Yu Li seemed to want to argue with her, but quickly realized that she couldn’t be reckless.
Whatever my girlfriend says goes.
In addition,
Exercise is also essential; we can't let age and work defeat us prematurely.
They chatted idly until evening, neither of them going out.
They eat, drink, play video games, and even practice yoga on the side.
If it weren't for Xia Youmi, he would always be a cool guy who only knows how to play basketball and show off but is completely uncoordinated. But now, in order to be able to hold hands and dance, he has actually trained himself to develop a sense of dance.
When the two play dance-themed games, they are often evenly matched, with both showing significant improvement in reaction time and coordination.
Seeing his girlfriend, who was covered in sweat, start to grin like an idiot, hehe, luckily his older sister was there to help him lure her to his house.
otherwise,
They definitely didn't have the courage to provoke Xia Youmi back then.
She looks very cold.
He was polite, but only polite; he gave all his other emotions to the dog.
Occasionally, she could sense that her relationship with her parents wasn't close enough. It seemed that the two adults were in one circle, while Xia Youmi, quietly planning her life, was in another.
Yu Li had finally managed to squeeze in, and was placed on the same side as her, so she didn't want her to be ruined.
The man who appeared last night, and the way he looked at his girlfriend, made him very unhappy; it even felt like a lump in his throat.
He dared not speak, nor dared he even think, about how he would face his relative powerlessness if an unshakeable force were to appear and snatch her away. Yu Li had no doubt that his girlfriend was capable of resolving the situation, nor did he doubt the level of civilization and rule of law in society.
But a sudden, inexplicable lack of self-confidence welled up from the bottom of my heart.
In addition,
His keen sense for unknown crises was unsettling. All he could do was focus on the present, striving to perform as well as possible. He needed to ensure that when the grim risks arrived, he wouldn't be easily abandoned.
night,
Yu Li took Xia Youmi home. It seemed that being in good shape for work tomorrow was important, and both of them needed time to recover, so she didn't make a fuss.
It was only seven o'clock when I was resting alone in bed. I wiped myself clean and snuggled up next to her.
"Hey, I'm going to say it! The original story is a domineering CEO romance novel with a lot of clichés."
"Uh-huh."
"The male protagonist, Shao Yunshen, is 29 years old and the president of Shenta Group. The Shao family is not simple; his grandfather and ancestors were all very famous figures. However, they have now kept a low profile. On the surface, he has broken away from the family's influence to work independently, but he is very clever. He uses the power of others to his advantage, turning many malicious saboteurs into nutrients for the growth of his group."
"The female lead is named Qiu Ling, 21 years old, a senior in college, and your junior in the same department but different department. She comes from an ordinary family, her father passed away early, and her mother worked hard to support her daughter's education. She has a clumsy but lucky personality and works multiple part-time jobs. She always seems to mess everything up on the surface, but in the end, she reaps more practical benefits."
The tone of his annual accounts is quite calm, but when combined with the background information extracted from the original text, it always sounds like a sarcastic remark.
It's like listening to a friend share some gossip; they'll emphasize certain specific details.
Besides the male and female leads, the female lead's childhood sweetheart and best friend also have a significant amount of screen time.
However, instead of focusing on introducing these people, Niannian directly addressed Xia Youmi's confusion.
"At Shenta Group, the supervisor in charge of training the characters in the storyline is Jin Shunmei, who is 33 years old this year and is an important figure in handling conflicts. We will discuss how to deal with her separately tomorrow morning." Nian Nian was very well prepared, and she had written a brief biography for each character and the corresponding countermeasures, but she could not simply transfer it to Xia Youmi's computer.
In today's society, any trace that has ever existed carries the risk of being exposed.
It dares not gamble.
“I noticed something. Every year, Jin Shunmei’s initial target should have been me, but she gave up very decisively after she ran into Yu Li picking me up from get off work.”
"Hmm, but perhaps it's just temporary peace. In the end, she'll probably find that you're the right one," Niannian made a reasonable prediction.
"Ignore her for now. Who is Mu Yongqing? What does she have to do with me in the original text?"
"Mu Yongqing is a character who appears later in the story. He marries Xia Youmi, who has become an eyesore to the main couple, when the main couple's relationship is relatively stable."
"In addition, Mu Yongqing's first marriage is currently in effect. He is 39 years old and has no children. His wife is Bao Duo, the only daughter of jewelry tycoon Bao Yiyi. Bao Yiyi's businesses are spread throughout Southeast Asia, and he gradually went from being involved in organized crime to being legitimate. Mu Yongqing comes from a humble background, but after marrying Bao Duo, he rose to prominence. The two of them are now running the Baoqing Group together."
“Baoqing Group was initially led by professional managers and steadily climbed to the top of the market. Now it is considered a well-established local company with more than 20 years of history.”
"Although the male protagonist's Shenta Group is a rising star, it is almost catching up with Baoqing Group in just five years."
"The key point is that these two companies are not competitors. They have completely avoided each other in most of their industries, and there is only a small overlap in their cooperation negotiations. This is also one of the reasons why Shenta's president's top secretary was later sent to Baoqing to be the hostess."
"Then, why did they get married?" Xia Youmi didn't think there was any genuine affection involved.
"Cooperation and competition are caused by multiple factors. During the time when the male and female protagonists were developing their relationship after Bao Duo's death, Mu Yongqing gradually shed the influence brought by the Bao family, and the group came under the Mu family name. He met Xia Youmi many times during cooperation and had a strong interest in her. According to analysis, she should be the image of his ideal first love when he was young. However, he married the wealthy but domineering Bao Duo, and he thought that he had endured humiliation for many years. After gaining power, he became arrogant after his career was successful by siding with the male protagonist."
"At first, I thought Xia Youmi was the male lead's woman and I didn't dare to touch her. But with the appearance of the female lead and the scheming of the female supporting character, Xia Youmi became more and more miserable and was eventually abandoned. Mu Yongqing appeared in front of the hostage in the form of a vengeful savior and accepted her half-forced and half-helplessly."
"What was the ending?"
"The price of divorce is that all relatives lose both money and power."
"Tsk!"
"That's ruthless..."
