Chapter 64 - Waited a long time?
The day before he left for Jincheng, Yu Yan received a call from Yu Minyang, inviting him to dinner at his house the next day.
It was only then that Yu Yan remembered that he hadn’t told Yu Minyang about tomorrow’s travel plans.
“Jincheng?” Yu Minyang asked, “Why didn’t you say something in advance? Your aunt has been trying out new recipes for most of the week, just so that she can make you a delicious meal tomorrow.”
“I’m sorry,” Yu Yan said, “I forgot; when I come back, the first thing I will do is go over to your place.”
He had really forgotten; after his parents’ death, he had lost the habit of reporting everything to his family.
“Forget it, it’s okay.” Yu Minyang continued, “Then be sure to be safe. Also, since it’s a platform activity, you’re sure to meet many work friends . Remember to buy some Manyang local specialties to give to them, it’ll also be polite. ”
Yu Yan replied, “Okay.”
Yu Minyang, who felt that was still insufficient, said, “How’s this ? I’m free this afternoon, so I’ll take you to the specialty market to look around.”
So, on the day of their departure, Lu Xiuhe looked at the big suitcase next to Yu Yan’s leg and asked, “Xiao Yan, you couldn’t be hiding someone in that thing ?”
“… Who would I hide?”
After getting to know about the contents of the suitcase, Lu Xiuhe said, “Yeah, why didn’t I think of that? Xiao Yan, when we reach the hotel, share a few of your local specialties with me . I’ll buy them from you, alright? I want to give some to my baby.”
“Alright,” Yu Yan asked, “When will you go see her?”
“Don’t know yet.”
Yu Yan was stunned. “You’re already on your way to Jincheng, and you guys still haven’t figured out when you’re meeting?”
Lu Xiuhe was a bit embarrassed as he explained, “She’s very busy. This trip was totally me insisting I had to visit, so now I have to wait for her to be free one day, then we can see each other.”
“…” Although Yu Yan had never experienced online dating, he had come into contact with many people online and understood some of it. He hesitated and asked, “Have you spent any money on her during your time together?”
After hearing this, Lu Xiuhe immediately understood his meaning and said, “No, no… I’ve bought her several skins before, but I had to force her to take those using the gift system.”
Yu Yan nodded, “That’s good.”
At the airport, the two of them lined up to pick up their tickets.
Lu Xiuhe said, “Let’s see what seat you have, and I’ll go to the machine and pick a seat that’s close to yours.”
Yu Yan handed his ID card to the staff at the counter. After the other party scanned the ID card, the relevant information popped up on the computer screen. After the staff member read its contents, they looked up with some doubt and glanced several times at Yu Yan, who had been standing in the economy class line for a long time.
Yu Yan asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Ah, nothing.” The staff member went through the formalities quickly and handed over the ticket with both hands.
Unlike Lu Xiuhe’s ticket, there was also a red card stuck to his ticket, which said, “XX Airport VIP lounge”.
“Hello, we found that your flight has been delayed for an hour due to the weather. During the waiting period, you can go and rest at the VIP lounge.”
Lu Xiuhe was muddled and asked, “Then why is there no such card on my ticket?”
The staff member replied, “Because this gentleman’s ticket is first class.”
Lu Xiuhe: “…”
Lu Xiuhe commented, “Aren’t StarTV’s benefits too good? Is it too late for me to start livestreaming now?”
Yu Yan didn’t go to the VIP lounge in the end, choosing instead to sit in the general waiting area with Lu Xiuhe.
As soon as they sat down, Yu Yan’s cellphone lit up.
: Just had a meeting, have you boarded yet?
Yu Yan: Not yet, the plane was delayed by an hour.
: En, there’s a computer in the VIP lounge, you can use it if you’re bored. But that computer can’t play PUBG.
Yu Yan: How did you know that my ticket had access to the VIP lounge…
Yi Chen paused, but managed to react quickly.
: Isn’t StarTV generous in all aspects?
Yu Yan: Really? Alright [Scratching my head.jpg]
This emoticon was a little funny. A corner of Yi Chen’s mouth had just started to rise when there was a knock on the door of his office.
His secretary came in and said, “President Yi, your next meeting will be in ten minutes, and all the marketing staff will be there.”
“Understood.”
Since it was almost the end of the year, the company had recently been busy.
: What are you planning to do these next few days in Jincheng?
Yu Yan: Livestream.
He had to ask for leave today to catch the plane, but he couldn’t just take a whole week off. The livestream duration regulations written into his contract also wouldn’t allow him to be so willful. When he had made the appointment with 1 in the afternoon, he had still been a little nervous and uneasy. After all, his intentions towards 1 weren’t exactly pure, and actually meeting in person… he didn’t know what it would be like.
It wasn’t until the other party spoke about cancelling the appointment that he realized how much he really wanted to see 1.
The elevator stopped on the 12th floor, where several men entered.
As soon as the elevator door closed, someone said, “Because of this fog, my flight almost got canceled. Scared me to death.”
“Haha, I’m a native.”
“If you live here, what are you doing here at the hotel?”
“The platform is paying for a big hotel, I’d be stupid not to come.”
Upon hearing all this, Yu Yan felt stunned. Sure enough, the person continued, “I’ve even scoped out an Internet cafe, it’s on the opposite side of the road, and the booth’s machines can be used. But I’ll have to go early, it’ll definitely be hard to get a computer with all the anchors around recently.”
“That makes sense, and I’ll also have to quickly go scope that out.” The person who said that turned around, and unexpectedly, caught Yu Yan’s gaze. “Hey? Are you that… Yan Xiao Yan?!”
The other people glanced over at him, and Yu Yan smiled and greeted very politely, “Hello everyone.”
“Hello, hello, what a coincidence.” Everyone had heard about the big fight he had waged against banana and laoshu. Once he saw and recognized him, that person couldn’t hide his friendliness. “Where are you going? We’re going to go get midnight snacks, want to go together?”
Yu Yan replied, “I’m sorry, I have an appointment with a friend.”
“It’s okay, next time is fine. Which room are you staying in?”
“4709.”
“Oh, okay…” That person finished talking, then discovered something was off and asked, “Wait, what number, 4709?”
Wasn’t 4709 on the 47th floor?
The man was stunned. “You upgraded?”
Yu Yan didn’t understand and asked back, “What?”
There was a ding sound, and the elevator arrived at the ground floor.
“Why do you ask so much, it’s not like you can afford to upgrade.” Another man laughed and said, “Then we’ll go first. If there’s time, we’ll all eat together to get to know each other.”
Yu Yan nodded. “Okay.”
Jincheng had cooled down in October, maintaining a temperature around a little more than 10 degrees, which was the usual temperature during winter in Manyang.
Yu Yan, who was wearing a thin coat, worried that 1 wouldn’t be able to find him, so he stood by the revolving door of the hotel lobby and waited.
Just as several receptionists were welcoming a group of guests, they saw a black Land Rover rushing up to the hotel’s entrance at full speed.
This familiar model.
The receptionists looked down and held their breaths.
This familiar license plate number!!!
They unconsciously straightened their backs and immediately looked down to check their appearances.
Yu Yan picked up his cellphone and glanced at it. It wasn’t 9 p.m. yet.
When he thought about it now, 1 had just worked the whole day, and having to eat midnight snacks with him at the end of such a day… had he been forcing 1 to do something that he was unwilling to do?
Yu Yan looked up just in time to see several receptionists swarm around the entrance of the hotel. magic
It was currently drizzling outside. A receptionist quickly ran to the driver’s seat to open the car door for the guest. Another receptionist stood upright and held out an umbrella, and there were several others following those two.
It was worthy of being a grand hotel, the attitude of the service staff was very good.
Such thoughts swirled in Yu Yan’s heart for a while.
Through the dark window, he could see a man get off the driver’s seat. Instead of taking the umbrella from the receptionist, he held up his own large black umbrella.
Yu Yan’s eyes followed him unconsciously and saw that the receptionist immediately gave way to him after he said something.
The man gently nodded, walked to the front of the car, then turned around, meeting Yu Yan’s gaze at this moment.
Yu Yan saw his face clearly, it was handsome and quite familiar.
Under the rain, he wore a suit, and his long legs wrapped by his trousers took a small step, before he walked up to Yu Yan in just a few steps.
Yu Yan could even smell the faint fragrance of his Gucci cologne emanating from his body.
“Waited a long time?”
The voice that he heard every night, now clearly reached Yu Yan’s ears, without being hindered by any technical interference.
He could feel his eardrums thudding away, as if they were being hit hard by something.
When Yi Chen saw that Yu Yan was stupefied, he couldn’t help but laugh. Then he raised his hand and rubbed his hair naturally, urging, “Snap out of it.”
