"Have you been very close to Secretary Ai recently?"
Separating from Ai Yuhua and walking back side by side, Lin Baiyao asked casually.
"It's okay. Sister Ai takes good care of me. But last night was the first time I went home for dinner."
"Did she say anything to you?"
Ye Sushang smiled and said: "She asked me for Uncle Yan's contact information..."
"Um?"
Several idioms quickly flashed through Lin Baiyao's mind:
Get back together? Rekindle an old relationship? Overturn and continue the relationship? Rekindle the relationship?
But that’s not right!
The last time we had dinner, we could clearly feel that there was no more love between the two of them. The people of Yanshan were obsessed with the dangerous twists and turns of the world, and Ai Yuhua was running an official career in a university. So what if they no longer have the soil to cultivate their future together?
Maybe it’s time to turn back?
"Did they not leave their mobile phone number when they had dinner at Liu Chunju?"
Ye Sushang sighed and said: "Uncle Yan goes to the south for business. For safety reasons, his mobile phone number is often changed. Even I don't know what it is, let alone Sister Ai."
Lin Baiyao was curious about what the people from Yanshan were doing in the south, but he had a sense of propriety and didn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. He thought about it and said, "Does Secretary Ai have something to ask Uncle Yan for help?"
Ye Sushang shrugged and said: "Who knows? It is said that Sister Ai is staying in the university, and Uncle Yan has nothing to do to help her. Let's see tonight, I guess, if something really happens, during the meal
It’s time to get straight to the point with me.”
Lin Baiyao was not surprised that Ye Sushang could see through Ai Yuhua's thoughts.
Although she is fair and sweet, she is different from those silly white sweet people who are not familiar with the world. She is not stupid at all!
Not only is he not stupid, the world he has seen in Yanzimen since he was a child is probably more profound and transparent than many adults.
"Secretary Ai did not hesitate to let me, a nuisance, tag along with you in order to invite you to dinner tonight. It shows that the situation has become more urgent and she does not care to take it easy."
Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "But you are just a little girl who can fight, what can you do to help her? You can't be allowed to teach someone a lesson, right? I think it's nothing more than a false Taoist attempt to find Mr. Yu through you...
"
Ye Sushang chuckled and said: "How can the fake Daofu Guo be used in this way?" He rolled his eyes at him again and said: "You look down on a little girl who can fight, right? It's not me today. With your old face, I'm not sure.
What has it become?”
She did not deny that Ai Yuhua's purpose might be related to Yu Jingzong, which meant that she had a good idea about tonight's dinner, so Lin Baiyao did not talk nonsense anymore.
After school in the afternoon, Yu Wenyi went to work on the evening party. Lin Baiyao told him the reason and could only regret his absence.
After a brief tidying up, I went to the small shop to buy some fruit gifts. I brought them to the gate of No. 4 to meet Ye Sushang, and the two of them went to the Family Court of the University of Finance and Economics across the road together.
The house in the family courtyard was just built in the early 1990s and looked relatively new. After going upstairs and knocking on the door, I heard a voice from inside: "Here we come!"
Then there was a rapid collision of slippers and the floor, and the door opened. Ai Yuhua was wearing home clothes, her hair was tied casually with a hairband, and her face was gentler, which was very different from her usual elite and capable image.
"come on in……"
Ai Yuhua happily greeted the two of them into the room, turned around and ran to the kitchen, saying: "You go and sit over there in the living room, don't be restrained. There is another dish, which will be ready soon."
Ye Sushang poked his head in the direction of the kitchen and asked, "Sister Ai, do you want my help?"
"No! You guys can watch TV first. The remote control is on the table."
CCTV's "Windmill" was playing on the TV. Lin Baiyao was not interested in this kind of children's program. He sat on the sofa and looked at the decoration in the room.
The welfare house in Caidaifen has three bedrooms and two living rooms. There is nothing too luxurious, it is just a fresh and natural minimalist style.
The only thing that may be considered expensive is the Sony large-screen rear-projection color TV in front of me, which is worth tens of thousands, and the Panasonic Cobra top-end audio system next to it, which also costs a lot of money.
As for the VCDs and discs placed in the cabinet, they are affordable consumer goods compared with TV speakers and are not worth mentioning.
Ai Yuhua's daily life can be profiled by looking at the subtle details. He spends most of his time on the sofa watching TV, watching movies and listening to music, and rarely goes out to play or participate in social activities.
There are many oil paintings of different styles on the surrounding walls and shelves. What attracts Lin Baiyao the most is Lin Fengmian's "Landscape" hanging in a prominent position.
Fake?
If it's genuine, Ai Yuhua can't afford it, right?
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Lin Baiyao retracted his thoughts and said with a smile: "I didn't read anything, I was just curious about the difference between a single woman's house and a married one..."
Ye Sushang asked curiously: "Then do you see any difference?"
Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "I don't know anything else, but I can feel that she lives a very comfortable life and enjoys her current life."
"Oh, I thought you would be prejudiced against women who don't get married..."
Lin Baiyao shook his head and said: "Prejudice? Everyone can choose a lifestyle that suits them. Non-marriage is just one of all lifestyles. It is not strange or illegal. Why should there be prejudice?"
"I heard my classmates talking about Sister Ai privately. They said everything. The most hateful thing is that some people said that people like Sister Ai are too selfish. If women choose not to get married, how can human beings reproduce and continue..."
Lin Baiyao sighed softly: "The Qing Dynasty has been dead for a hundred years, and some people are still so insane... Not all women will not get married. There will always be people who are lucky enough to meet love and enter the palace of marriage. What's more, if it really comes
If a woman doesn't want to get married, why should she care about the continuation of humankind... What's wrong with you?"
Ye Sushang hurriedly withdrew his eyes, turned his head away to cover up, and said: "No, I'm listening to you. Lin Baiyao, I always have a strange feeling that you are incompatible with the mainstream thinking of this society, like...
Well, it seems to come from a future that is more open, inclusive and respectful of women..."
Finished?
Barbie Q?
Lin Baiyao put on a fierce look and said: "Since my identity as a Zenith star has been exposed, you will not be alive to see the sun tomorrow!"
Ye Sushang folded his hands in cooperation and begged for mercy tremblingly: "Uncle Alien, please spare me, I don't want to die yet..."
"The food is here!"
Ai Yuhua's figure appeared at the door of the kitchen. Lin Baiyao and Ye Sushang immediately sat down, looking at each other quietly, and then moved away as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, they felt as happy as having an affair.
The three of them sat at the dining table and chatted while eating without being too polite.
Lin Baiyao finally realized Ye Sushang's pain.
Ai Yuhua's cooking skills are extremely average. It can be seen that she likes cooking, but cooking requires talent. Her skills can only be said to be barely acceptable. She is completely addicted to food and does not realize it.
After a few compliments without conscience, Ai Yuhua beamed with joy, and Lin Baiyao became more pleasing to the eye.
When the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, she cleverly brought the topic to family. First she asked Lin Baiyao, and then asked Ye Sushang: "How is your father's health these years?"
Ye Sushang secretly said that the drama is coming, and said: "It's good. I became obsessed with running last year. I can run five kilometers every day. I am healthier than many young people..."
Ai Yuhua said with a smile: "That's good. Your father is a man of great wisdom and great power. I met him many years ago, and I was lucky enough to receive a painting from him... Look, it's this painting "
"Landscape", Christie's autumn auction in 1991, sold for a sky-high price of 330,000."
Lin Baiyao's brows twitched, 330,000 yuan in 1991, if it was genuine, it would be too expensive.
Ai Yuhua fell into memories, her eyes flashing with nostalgia for the beautiful past, and she said leisurely: "Shanren knew that I liked it, so he went to your father to ask for it. I thought it was too valuable and I refused.
. But your father said something, and I still remember it. He said that art has so-called artistic value only in the hands of people who really like it..."
Ye Sushang really didn't know about this. She only knew that Ai Yuhua was the only one among the many ex-girlfriends in Yanshan who he brought back to Yanzimen to show Yu Jingzong.
I didn't expect that Yanshan people are so infatuated and willing to spend thousands of gold to buy a beautiful woman's smile.
No wonder the peach blossoms were so prosperous when I was young. It is said that wherever I pass by, I will break the grass. I have ex-girlfriends all over the country, and few of them fall out with each other.
But this is all in the past after all. Ai Yuhua will not play the emotional card for no reason. The deeper the relationship in the past, the greater her desire tonight will be.
Ye Sushang suddenly panicked!?
"Xiaoye, you are a very smart person, and I won't hide it from you. Sister Ai is in some trouble this time, and she wants to ask your father for help..."
Ai Yuhua spoke very naturally and eloquently, without the slightest sense of embarrassment in discussing these interest issues with her own students.
This made Lin Baiyao unconvinced. After being immersed in the officialdom for a long time, no one can be exempted from the vulgarity. Ai Yuhua has thoroughly experienced it.
He took a nap very wisely and said, "Secretary Ai, I'm full. You guys eat slowly while I watch the news broadcast."
Ye Sushang looked resentfully at Lin Baiyao's aloof figure, breathed softly and said, "Sister Ai, is this why you asked me for Uncle Yan's phone number yesterday?"
"Yes!"
Ai Yuhua said with a smile: "I haven't seen your father for many years, so it's a bit abrupt to bother me. So I originally wanted to set up a line with your father through Shanren, but he won't be able to contact you for a while... Xiaoye, I
I remember Shanren said that you can be half of your father's family, but Sister Ai has nothing to do. I would like to ask you to tell your father first, and I will visit him when he has time..."
Ye Sushang said: "Sister Ai, you have always taken good care of me, especially the last time Lin Baiyao and I stayed up all night, it was because of your care that we were not punished by the school. Since you have spoken, I will do my best. However,
, can I ask something specific?”
Ai Yuhua hesitated for a while, but decided to speak directly, because the words were not meant for Ye Sushang, but for her to tell Yu Jingzong. Time was tight and she could not care about much. She said softly: "You also know that Vice President Chang is involved.
When it comes to Cui Guoming's case, he was taken away by the province for investigation. I got the news that he is basically determined to be dismissed. In this way, one of the seven vice presidents of the University of Finance and Economics will be vacant..."
