In the evening, Chuxun received a message from his master, saying that something was not working well and that he had to work overtime on Saturday to fix it.
Chu Xun breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that things wouldn't go so smoothly. A small mistake like this that could be solved made him feel at ease.
Anyway, he had made an appointment to have dinner, so he had more than enough time to go to the company in the morning.
If he still needed to delay, he would ask his master for leave. If his master knew that he had an appointment with Lin Yanchen's father … he might ask him not to come to work overtime in the morning.
Chuxun felt that instead of being nervous at home, he might as well go to the company to relieve his stress.
Lin Yanchen sent him to work. This was a new experience.
Chuxun turned around and saw Lin Yanchen standing at the door with Chirp Chirp in his arms. He looked like a little wife, looking at him eagerly. Chuxun could not help but want to laugh. He raised his head slightly and kissed him on the cheek. "Be a good boy and wait for me to come back."
At the small book stand.
Lin Yanchen returned a kiss. "Come back early too."
Chuxun was about to leave when Chirp Chirp put his big head in front of Chuxun as if he wanted to bump into him. Chuxun understood. He smiled, kissed Chirp Chirp's forehead, and patted him. "Daddy is leaving."
Chirp Chirp was satisfied. He squeezed his little hands and made a "goodbye" gesture.
Chuxun was in high spirits. He went to the company and planned to finish his work quickly, go home, change his clothes, and go out to meet his father-in-law.
He was not a woman, so he did not need to do makeup, hair, or style. Applying a man's face cream and trimming his eyebrows were already very attentive.
He was not the only one working overtime on Saturday morning.
Chuxun was immersed in his work. Someone entered his office. Chuxun thought that it was to get some documents, so he did not look up. He handed over a document and casually told the person what to do and to finish it quickly.
After about ten minutes, that person came again. The work that he had previously assigned had been completed. He brought it over for Chu Xun to review.
Chu Xun looked at it and did unexpectedly well. This was because the male voice sounded gentle and pleasant. He looked up and saw that it was a man who looked to be in his forties. Chu Xun was stunned. When did such a person appear in the department next door?
However, he didn't pay much attention to it. A new recruit?
The man asked him, "Are you okay?"
Chuxun: "… Well done."
The man smiled. "That's good."
The work was more or less done. It would be over after a meal and an inspection.
The company cafeteria was not open today. Chuxun opened the take-out app and was thinking about what to order for everyone to eat when the delivery guy arrived.
There was plenty of Japanese cuisine, high-class sushi and sashimi.
Everyone pounced on it and ate it together in the meeting room.
Not long after Chuxun sat down, someone sat down beside him. Chuxun saw that it was the man he was not familiar with.
The other party took the initiative to greet him. "Manager Chu, you've worked hard today."
Chuxun nodded politely and said, "You've worked hard too."
They casually chatted for a while, and Chu Xun inexplicably felt that it was really comfortable to talk to this person. His conversation was polite and meaningful. Chatting with him was very interesting and made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
Although this man was a little old, he took good care of himself. Most importantly, his temperament was not greasy at all. He could be considered handsome. There was a familiar look between his eyebrows, but Chuxun could not recall it at the moment.
Maybe he had seen him in the company.
Chuxun gradually let down his guard.
The other party asked, "Isn't the work done?
Why are you still so nervous? "
It was easier to talk in front of a stranger. Even if he said it, it would not affect him. Moreover, it was a little strange to talk to this person. Chuxun said, "I'm not worried about work … I have an appointment to meet my boyfriend's father today."
The man said, "This is the first time I've seen a man in China say 'my boyfriend' so generously."
Chuxun smiled. "It's not like I'm breaking the law."
The man nodded. "Yes, but many people are secretive. It's as if they have committed a crime and cannot see the light of day."
Chuxun said, "I'm secretive too. I won't tell you who my boyfriend is."
The man laughed. "Haha, it's okay. That should be called protecting your privacy.
Are you nervous? "
Chuxun sighed. "I can't help but be nervous. I'm afraid that he doesn't like me. To be honest, my family background is quite different from my boyfriend's.
Even if I'm a woman, it might not be smooth, let alone me as a man. "
The man said, "Relax. Everything will be fine when you get there. Maybe he likes you more than you think?"
Chuxun said, "I hope so."
At this moment, another person approached. It was a female employee of the company. She came … to talk to the uncle beside Chuxun.
Chuxun watched from the side. The young lady blushed and expressed her affection for the uncle. However, she was rejected. "You're quite lucky with women."
He shook his head helplessly and said, "At my age, of course, I have a wife and children. Why would I need luck with women?
My son is about to get married and become a grandfather. "
Chuxun said, "Oh?
Your son is about to get married?
Congratulations. "
He thanked him and said, "Yes, that kid has been rebellious for a long time. I thought that it would take a few more years. I didn't expect him to get married so soon.
Actually, I'm still a little worried. I feel that he's not mature enough. I don't know if he can be a good husband and father … But when I was his age, I didn't do that well either. I'm not qualified to criticize him.
Sigh. "
Chuxun said, "When you said that you were worried, I thought you were going to say that you were worried about the relationship between the two generations."
He said, "That's nothing. As long as he likes it, it's fine. I don't plan to live with them. I'll keep an appropriate distance. Everyone will be at peace. Life will be good."
As he spoke, his phone rang. He walked away to answer the call. Chuxun glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it.
After that, Chuxun didn't see this person again.
Before he left, he even asked the people in the department next door, "Who's that man wearing glasses and a gray suit?"
The people in the department next door asked, "Yes?
Isn't he from your department? "
Chuxun: "…"
Chuxun suddenly had a bad feeling.
In the evening.
The red sunset was hanging on the horizon.
Lin Yanchen's father was waiting for them at the reserved place.
This time, only Chuxun and Chirp Chirp went to meet him. If everything went well, the parents of the two families would meet again next time.
They arrived at a clubhouse.
It was the first time Chuxun knew that there was such a place in Y City. It was in the downtown area, separated by a high wall. After entering, the noise was absorbed by the thick bamboo forest. The winding path led to a secluded place.
The design of the house was a combination of a classical courtyard and modern architecture. Before they arrived, they could hear the melodious sound of a guqin. It made people feel peaceful.
After pushing the door open and entering, Lin Yanchen said, "Dad, we're here."
Chuxun immediately saw a handsome middle-aged uncle in a loose traditional Chinese suit sitting on an armchair in the bright and spacious hall. When he saw them, a gentle smile appeared on his face. "Sit."
Lin Shaoyuan smiled and said to Chuxun, "Hello."
He then looked at the child in his arms. "This is Chirp Chirp, right?
He looks so similar to Yanyan when he was young. "
Chuxun: "…"
Wasn't this the strange uncle who chatted with him at the company this morning …
He was so surprised that he didn't notice anything else.
Lin Yanchen almost exploded. He glared at his father. I told you not to call Chuxun by his nickname in front of him!
How embarrassing!
Lin Shaoyuan then remembered and smiled embarrassedly.
He accidentally forgot and called him by his nickname …
