Chapter 385 While You’re Young

Gu Ru returned to Yangcheng in the morning, and not long after waiting at the restaurant Yan Xin had booked, Ai Lili came over with several senior executives from the company.

This was a meal and drink with the company's money, but it was really not suitable for a few friends. It seemed like they were using public funds for personal use, so I called the executives over and had a good meal together.

Let's be lively and express our respect for Gu Ru, a cash cow and shareholder.

After those senior executives came over, Gu Ru also put away her previous careless style and became intellectual and gentle again.

Ai Lili was quite happy to see Gu Ru.

She doesn't have many friends, and Gu Ru is one of them.

She cherished every friend.

Of course, Gu Ru had some special hobbies, which she still found a little unacceptable.

Except for that, everything else is good.

When eating, she sat next to Gu Ru, but not too close.

Gu Ru also praised her: "Lily, you have grown up very fast during this period. When you first came to the company, you were as cautious as a little chicken. Now you have the demeanor of a strong woman."

This made Ellie very happy: "Is it true? Is it really true?"

Gu Ru said with certainty: "It's true. You already have the majesty of a superior person. I can see a strong sense of confidence on your face."

Ellie has never been so confident because she has always been told by her mother that she is an incompetent person and that she can only find a job through connections. In the future, she can only be happy by marrying a man from a good family.

Under such influence, it is strange to be able to have self-confidence.

Even after entering Starlight Entertainment Company and becoming the general manager, she still didn't have much confidence. She always felt that she got this job because of Yan Xin, and all her achievements were because of Yan Xin and had nothing to do with her own personal abilities.

.

She has always had low self-esteem in this regard.

It was precisely because of her low self-esteem that she worked very hard to manage the company. She refused many times when Yan Xin asked her to take a break.

She felt that she had no ability, so she could only put in more effort, which meant that the stupid bird flew first.

But I still have no self-confidence and always feel that I am a person who can only rely on others to live.

Gu Ru affirmed her in this way, which made her particularly happy.

Despite her age, few people recognize her abilities.

——Yan Xin does not count, because Yan Xin is her man, and all the words that praise her are regarded by her as words to make her happy.

None of the employees in the company said anything about how capable she was—perhaps they felt that saying such words was flattering.

In other words, the advertising partners will praise her abilities.

But there are too many polite elements in it, maybe all of them are polite elements.

Gu Ru is not the first one to praise her, but she is also one of the few people.

The most important thing is that judging from Gu Ru's expression, she really thinks so.

This made Ellie even happier.

During this feast, the happiest person was Ai Lili.

There was wine at this reception banquet, and everyone drank it, but Yan Xin didn't drink it. His reason was that his liver was bad and he was allergic to alcohol, so no one advised him to drink.

There is another reason, he drives.

Don't drink while driving, don't drive after drinking, this is what he has always followed.

He is the boss, no one can force him.

Gu Ru finally ended her months of hard work and felt very relaxed. She drank a lot and became a little drunk.

But she drinks pretty good and doesn't make a fuss even when she's drunk.

This is probably something I learned in this circle.

Drinking is inevitable. If the wine was not good, you would no longer be able to hang out in this circle.

Xiao Yuan and Chen Li also drank some and were a little drunk.

After eating, everyone dispersed, and the company's senior executives all took taxis back to work.

Aili also took a taxi back to the company to work.

This meal took a long time, and it was already past 1:30 when I finished it. There was no point in going home. It was better to go to work directly to avoid running back and forth.

Yan Xin drove Gu Ru, Chen Li, and Xiao Yuan back to Bai Jingyuan.

The main reason is that his car cannot carry so many people, otherwise he can bring Ellie with him.

When they got to the car, Gu Ru was still sitting in the passenger seat. As soon as she got in the car, she kicked off her high heels, but this time she didn't put her feet on the driver's seat.

Maybe it's because Chen Li is around.

She didn't bother to fasten her seat belt, so Yan Xin put it on for her.

When he leaned over and buckled her seat belt, Yan Xin had this thought in his mind: "They say that to lose weight, you must first reduce your breasts. It seems true..."

Gu Ru disapproved of his caution: "On that little road, why do you need to wear a seat belt? Are you so unsure of your driving skills?"

"I have no confidence in other people's driving skills." Yan Xin said with a smile.

The car drove steadily until it reached the Baijingyuan Community.

After entering the community, Gu Ru said to him: "Don't send me back to my home. It's boring to live alone in such a big house."

"Then whose house are you going to?" Yan Xin asked.

"How about going to your house?" Gu Ru said.

But after saying this, I looked at him and shook my head:

"No, you have a girlfriend. Lily is at work now. I want to go to your house and spend the afternoon with you alone. Lily may feel uncomfortable, so I'd better not go to your house."

After all, I drank too much, otherwise I wouldn’t say such things out loud, I would just hide them in my heart.

I will do that, but I won't say that.

Yan Xin originally wanted to explain that Ai Lili was not such a person, but when the words came to his lips, he still did not say them out.

It is indeed a bit ambiguous to let a drunk woman go to your home and spend an afternoon alone.

Maybe Ai Lili wouldn't care about such things, but he wanted to avoid suspicion himself.

If there are too many such things, no matter how tolerant a woman is, she will become suspicious.

He and Gu Ru had nothing to do with each other, but if his relationship with Feng Xi was suspected because of this, it would be over.

So it's better not to say anything.

At this time, Chen Li and Xiao Yuan both said in time: "Then come to my house."

Gu Ru turned around and looked at them again, and finally made a decision: "Send me to Xiao Yuan's house."

Nothing wrong.

It is inconvenient to go to the home of this man Yan Xin, and it is equally inconvenient to go to the home of this man Chen Li. Then go to Xiao Yuan's home. They are all women, so it doesn't matter.

In this way, after parking the car in the basement, Yan Xin sent Gu Ru to Xiao Yuan's house.

As for Chen Li, he drank a little and was not drunk. He was a grown man, so he was asked to go home by himself.

Gu Ru drank some wine and was still relatively clear-headed, but her body was a little out of control. Xiao Yuan was too small and it was not easy to support her, so Yan Xin sent her to Xiao Yuan's home.

After opening the door, Xiao Yuan saw that his clothes were all wet, so she invited him to sit for a while and drink a cold drink before leaving.

The weather in October is still a bit hot here in Yangcheng.

Although they all live in the same community, Yan Xin has never been to Xiao Yuan's home.

Xiao Yuan doesn't know how to cook, so the only kitchen appliance is an induction cooker, which she sometimes uses to cook noodles.

The house isn't big, so there's nothing interesting to do in her house, so I haven't been there.

She often went to Yan Xin's house to have dinner.

This little girl already has several properties under her name, including houses with three bedrooms and one living room, and houses with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

But the apartment she lives in is only two bedrooms and one living room, and the area is not large.

I rent out all the big houses and live in a small house myself. I am a person who knows how to live well.

It's more than enough for her to live alone.

Yan Xin walked in for the first time and took a look. Although the room was not big, it was quite clean.

The decoration style is mainly pink, full of girly style.

He smiled and said: "You have done quite well here. You live alone and live a very elegant life."

Xiao Yuan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The main reason is that I have the cleaning lady do the cleaning twice every week. If it were me, I don't know what the mess would be like."

She is also working hard to make money. She is actually quite tired every day and can only rely on cleaning.

Even Yan Xin, who is such a idle person, is too lazy to do housework by himself and asks part-time workers to do the cleaning twice every week.

After sending Gu Ru to the bed in the bedroom, Yan Xin drank Coke and visited Xiao Yuan's room.

Then I discovered that of the two rooms here, there was only one bedroom, and the other one had been turned into a singing practice room by Madoka, with some musical instruments in it and no bed.

This home only has one bedroom and one bed.

He tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yuan: "You only have one bed at home. Do you mean that Sister Ru will sleep on the same bed with you?"

Xiao Yuan blushed and said, "I can also sleep on the sofa."

It's not like she doesn't know what kind of woman Gu Ru is.

She felt that Yan Xin also knew about it.

So she felt that Yan Xin's words meant to make fun of her.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Sister Ru, she is just staying with me for a rest. She can also stay at your place in the evening. In the afternoon, Sister Lili is not here, so she has to avoid suspicion. In the evening, Sister Lili is back, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

"

Yan Xin nodded: "You are right, she likes to be lively, and she will be happier if there are more people."

Xiao Yuan thought to herself: "Actually, I also like the excitement..."

I don’t really like liveliness that much, but I have been away from my hometown for such a long time. Every time I come home after a performance, I am all alone. I want to talk to someone to talk to but I can’t find anyone like that.

The whole person seemed to be swallowed up by loneliness.

——In a foreign country, this feeling is particularly strong.

Gradually, I became more and more afraid of loneliness and liked the excitement more and more.

Every time Yan Xin asked her to come over for dinner, she readily agreed, not because she was short of a bite to eat, but because she liked the feeling of several people eating together.

Much better than eating alone.

When eating alone, no matter how good the food is, it will feel the same as eating instant noodles in her mouth.

So when she is alone, she often cooks instant noodles.

Gu Ru is older than her, has been working hard longer than her, and is also lonelier than her.

So she could understand Gu Ru's feeling. Even if she had a home, she would not go home, but would live with her friends to join in the fun.

It's just that Gu Ru has money and status, so she can make such a request directly.

But she was not qualified to make such a request to anyone, so she could only endure such loneliness.

After Gu Ru was helped to the bed, she fell asleep not long after.

Yan Xin didn't stay long. He finished a can of iced Coke and visited Xiao Yuan's house before leaving.

Before leaving, he even asked them to go to his house for dinner in the evening.

This was what he and Aili had agreed upon, and they would cook a delicious meal at home in the evening and continue to entertain Gu Ru.

The banquet at noon was the company's banquet, which expressed the importance to Gu Ru, a cash cow and shareholder.

In the evening, it is a private banquet, expressing the feelings between friends.

After returning to his home, Yan Xin sent a message to Ai Lili, telling her that Gu Ru was afraid of being lonely and was unwilling to return to her home. He had placed Gu Ru in Xiao Yuan's home and now he has gone home.

Ai Lili also complained to him, why didn't he take Gu Ru to live with them? Xiaoyuan would be busy performing at night, and Gu Ru would be alone again, and quite lonely.

Yan Xin was very touched by her speech. He felt that this woman trusted him too much and was not worried at all about what would happen to him and Gu Ru, a lonely man and a widower.

This trust is simply more precious than gold.

How great would it be if this trust could always be there?

He told Ai Lili that he could invite Gu Ru to stay when they came over for dinner in the evening. The two singers might be able to communicate better together during the day.

This means that Gu Ru can go to Xiao Yuan's place during the day, or Xiao Yuan can go to Gu Ru's place, and stay at their house at night.

In this way, there would be no suspicion that he and Gu Ru were living together in the same room.

This is still an effort to avoid suspicion.

Ai Lili understood what he meant and told him directly: "There's no need to go to such trouble. Just let Sister Ru live in our house. Don't worry about my feelings. I absolutely trust you."

Yan Xin could only say: "Okay."

Then he flattered me in time: "Finding a wife like you who trusts me unconditionally is the greatest blessing in my life."

Ai Lili: "The main reason is that I believe Sister Ru, she doesn't like men."

Yan Xin: "..."

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, before Ai Lili got off work, Gu Ru came over with Xiao Yuan.

Before she came over, she even called Chen Li and called him over.

Ai Lili didn't come back until half past six. When she came back, she still had some ingredients in her hands. She took a taxi to the seafood market to buy them after get off work.

But there were some ingredients at home, and Yan Xin and Xiao Yuan had already prepared them in the kitchen before she came.

There is no fire, and the cooking has to be done by Ellie, who is an excellent cook.

However, with their advance preparation, they can also save Ellie some time.

When Ellie came back, several people were in the kitchen, two were busy inside, and two were standing outside the kitchen, chatting about traveling in the next few days.

After she came back, she threw the ingredients in her hands to Yan Xin, who already had a lot of kitchen experience, and started cooking by herself.

Also joined in their chat.

Gu Ru is still a little tired now. Her idea is to rest at home for a few days, and then go out for a trip when she feels well.

Traveling alone felt boring and not very safe, so she wanted to bring everyone together to travel together.

Chen Li had no objection.

He currently has the book "Shading the Sky" in hand, which is updated three chapters a day, with about 10,000 words.

But his hand speed is relatively fast. Xiangang and Yan Xin have already finished it and the writing is very smooth. It only takes two or three hours a day to complete it.

Going on a trip will not prevent him from updating.

You can also take advantage of these few days to save some drafts.

He enthusiastically agreed with Gu Ru's proposal, and after hearing it, he said he would go.

But Madoka had some hesitation.

She wanted to travel, and she even wanted to travel with these friends.

But she also wants to stay here and perform to earn money.

She now looks like a little rich woman with five houses to her name, all in first-tier cities.

However, she is still burdened with a large mortgage loan and has only rented out two houses. The rent cannot cover the mortgage loan, and she still faces certain financial pressure.

The other two houses are under renovation and also need money.

Although I still have some savings on hand, I can cope with it, but if I want to travel, I will have less income and more expenses, which will be a bit embarrassing.

She is a child who has lived under the poverty line and has a strong sense of economic insecurity.

The savings she currently has are not enough to give her a strong sense of security.

She needs to make more money when she can.

Gu Ru enlightened her: "You are busy performing every day and are as tired as a dog. You should take a rest and relax. Don't stay tense all the time, otherwise you will collapse. If you combine work and rest, and have a certain degree of relaxation, then

That's the best choice. It's not so hard to live now, so just go out and relax with us. Young people should behave like young people."

"But... I'm afraid that if I go out to play, I won't have enough money to pay for the mortgage and decoration..." Xiao Yuan said in embarrassment.

Gu Ru patted her on the shoulder and said proudly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. If you don't have enough money, I'll take care of it for you!"

"Then why are you so embarrassed..." Madoka blushed.

"We sisters, what are you embarrassed about?" Gu Ru rolled her eyes at her.

Ellie also said from the side: "Xiao Yuan, you really should take a good rest. I think your current physical condition is not very good and you need to adjust. It is right to work hard, but there is no need to risk your life.

Put it together."

Madoka asked: "Sister Lily, does my physical condition look bad?"

Ellie nodded.

Chen Li also added: "Your condition does look bad, you look malnourished."

Xiao Yuan thought for a while and finally made a decision: "Okay then, I will go out with you."

Gu Ru asked Ai Lili again: "Will you also go with us?"

Aili glanced at Yan Xin.

Yan Xin said: "Let's go together. There will be more people and more excitement. Anyway, there aren't many important things in the company right now. If something really happens, the transportation is so developed now. It won't be too late to deal with it then."

Ai Lili nodded and said, "Okay, let's go out together."

When I said this, everyone laughed.

Aili also had a smile on her face.

What she likes most is traveling with Yan Xin, where she can see beautiful scenery and enjoy sweet love.

However, it is quite nice to travel with these friends.

Love is beautiful.

Friendship is also beautiful.

It is also a very happy thing to enjoy such beauty while you are young.
