After finally completing this difficult interview task, Yuan Lai felt as if all the strength had been drained from him, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

At this moment, she didn't want to say a single word, especially to Ju Yunnian. So, without hesitation, she pulled her colleagues together and fled the scene as quickly as possible.

Since this was a brand compilation event, several fans at the scene packed the entire venue.

Yuan Lai and her colleagues were caught in the surging crowd, jostled around like two lost fish. Although they held hands all the way, they eventually got separated.

In desperation, Yuan Lai decided to go to the door of the building and wait for his colleagues to show up.

She walked out of the mall and planned to sit on a stone pier by the roadside to rest for a while.

At this moment, a brand new car slowly stopped in the only remaining parking space in front of the mall. The door opened and a little boy ran out.

Something unexpected happened - at this time Yuan Lai happened to clean a stone pillar and was about to sit down.

Since neither side noticed each other's actions, the little boy walked backwards and bumped into Yuan Lai who was about to sit down.

"Oh my! You can't even sit on the stone pillars?" Yuan Lai turned her head sharply with a cry of surprise. When she saw that the person coming was actually a child, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face, "You..."

"I'm sorry!" The little boy immediately apologized to her and bowed very formally.

If she wanted to apologize, she should just apologize. Why bow? If you don't know, you might think she was bullying a child.

As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently swept over the little boy, and a sense of familiarity suddenly surged in her heart, but for a moment she could not remember where she had seen this child.

Xiao He, who got out of the car shortly after, saw Yuan Lai's puzzled expression and explained, "I didn't expect to see you here. He's Shaoxi's younger brother, Chen Xiaobo. His family is traveling during the summer vacation, and since I have nothing to do today, I volunteered to show them around."

"I was wondering why he looked familiar. Turns out he's Shaoxi's younger brother."

It was their first meeting, so she hadn't prepared any gifts. Yuan Lai took out the red envelope that Ju Yunnian's staff had just given her and handed it to him, "Here you go."

Chen Xiaobo took the red envelope and said thank you, sister.

As the three of them were chatting excitedly, another car stopped steadily at the door.

Then, the car door opened and Shaoxi's family of three walked out of the car one after another.

Shaoxi strode over and asked, "Are you his brother or mine? You may not be very long, but you run very fast."

Xiao He blocked Shao Xi with exaggerated movements, "Don't hit the child! I asked him to ride in my car."

Shaoxi spread his hands and said, "Don't try to play tricks on me. You just want to take advantage of my brother."

Shaoxi's mother noticed the red envelope in her son's hand and asked, "Where did the red envelope come from?"

Chen Xiaobo pointed at Yuan Lai.

Yuan Lai smiled and greeted Shaoxi's parents, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

Shaoxi snatched the red envelope and put it in his trouser pocket. "Did you call me sister?"

Under the pressure from his brother, Chen Xiaobo nodded and hid behind his mother.

At this time, the lost colleague also walked out of the side door of the mall and called Yuan Lai.

"I have something to do and I'm leaving first. Have fun, uncle, aunt, and brother!"

Yuan Lai and his colleagues rushed back to the company, with a few crystal clear beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads.

She didn't even bother to rest, but went straight to her desk and carefully handed the heavy interview recordings and carefully filmed materials to other colleagues, saying, "Edit these videos as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work!"

When it was almost time to get off work, the first clip edited by his colleague was successfully uploaded, and Yuan Lai closed the computer with satisfaction.

She stretched her body, loosened her stiff shoulders, picked up her phone, and called Lin Tingting: "Boss Lin, are you busy tonight? How about doing me a favor and going out for dinner together?"

Lin Tingting's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Haha, reward, reward, just book a place directly."

After a while, Lin Tingting, dressed brightly and charmingly, appeared at the restaurant entrance. She was wearing a knee-length skirt and walked into the restaurant with a confident stride. She sat down opposite Yuan Lai in a very heroic manner.

As soon as they sat down, Lin Tingting couldn't wait to ask, "What delicious food did you order today?" Yuan Lai smiled and replied, "Don't worry, they are all your favorites."

Hearing this, Lin Tingting nodded in satisfaction and said happily, "Hehe, you still understand my taste the best, all right! By the way, when you are free, you must come to my house to see Xiaoju. It is now truly a slut! All day long, it is either eating, playing, or lying comfortably in bed and sleeping soundly. Its life is even more comfortable than mine!"

While the two were chatting and laughing, the waiter swiftly brought the steaming hot grilled fish to the table, followed by several delicious side dishes.

Seeing this, Yuan Lai stood up and walked to the buffet area, picked out some exquisite snacks and cool drinks, brought them back and placed them on the table.

Lin Tingting couldn't hold back any longer. She quickly picked up a piece of juicy fish and put it into her mouth. She chewed it carefully and said with satisfaction, "I haven't tasted this flavor in a long time. This flavor can only be made in this restaurant. It's very fragrant."

At this time, Yuan Lai gently put various side dishes into the fish pot, and then waited for the pot to boil again.

While waiting, Yuan Lai hesitated again and again, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Lin Tingting: "Tingting, I have a particularly crazy idea, but I don't know if it is appropriate to do so..."

"What idea? It's rare for you to have an idea. Whatever it is, I will definitely support you."

Yuan Lai held his chin in his hand and said seriously, "I want to discuss with the village chief about renting No. 58 Houdoumen and rebuilding it."

Lin Tingting was busy eating. When he heard Yuan Lai's words, he was a little surprised. "How could such an idea suddenly come up?"

Yuan Lai was a little nervous, "Do you think this is a bad idea?"

"No." Lin Tingting said, "Given your personality, it's understandable that you have such thoughts, but it's difficult to implement."

"How to say?"

"First of all, this is not a small expense. Do you have enough funds to support the series of related expenses that will be incurred later?"

Yuan Lai replied, "Over the past twenty years, I've saved a lot from money given by my parents, relatives, and you. Besides my salary, I also have scholarships. So, I wouldn't say a million, but I'm definitely in the hundreds of thousands. I'm not building a house, so if I'm frugal, this money should be enough. If not, I'll borrow some from my parents."

Lin Tingting's jaw dropped. "I didn't expect you were a hidden rich man! I even give you pocket money every month!"

"Your pocket money accounts for the bulk of it." Yuan Lai also didn't understand why Lin Tingting gave her a thousand pocket money every month. Was it because she didn't have much desire for material things?

It's not her fault. All her things were bought by her parents. She has everything at home and has no place to spend money.
