After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

"I see."

Shen Yao understood.

After checking the property ownership certificate, Shen Yao confidently paid the deposit and a quarter's rent.

As Shen Yao walked out of the Lake Rhine Lake residential area, she received a call from the company's HR department.

"Professor Shen, I'm sorry to disturb your vacation. I have something to attend to. Would it be convenient for you to take this call?"

Shen Yao glanced at Bo Yuxiu, walked to the other side, and said softly, "It's convenient, please speak."

A colleague from the HR department said apologetically, "A gentleman would like to invite you to dinner tomorrow evening to discuss a new project. Would that be convenient for you?"

Shen Yao asked, "Will my colleagues from the marketing department come with me?"

As a researcher, Shen Yao felt she wasn't very professional when discussing projects. It would be much better if a colleague from the marketing department were with her.

In this way, the company will not suffer losses due to a lack of understanding of market conditions during the negotiation process.

"Professor Shen, please rest assured, the company will send two marketing managers to accompany you."

"Okay, that's good." Shen Yao calculated the time; she was moving tomorrow, so she asked the HR department if the project discussion could be moved to the day after tomorrow.

The HR department readily agreed, saying, "Sure, the partner said they'll go with your schedule."

"Then let's set the time for 3 pm the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Professor Shen."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yao apologized to Bo Yuxiu, explaining that it was a call from the company.

Bo Yuxiu was not angry at all and said he understood.

"Teacher Bo, there's no time like the present, let me treat you to dinner today."

“Okay, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Bo Yuxiu agreed readily without any hesitation.

This made Shen Yao feel comfortable. She didn't want to owe Bo Yuxiu a favor, and she felt at ease knowing that Bo Yuxiu accepted it so generously.

"Let's go get some Chongqing hot pot. It's been raining lately, it'll help us get rid of the dampness," Bo Yuxiu suggested.

Shen Yao raised her hand in agreement.

The two drove to a very popular Chongqing hot pot restaurant in Shenzhen.

Since it was noon and there were relatively few people, they chose a seat by the window.

After preparing the spicy sesame sauce, Bo Yuxiu used serving chopsticks to give the other half of the sauce to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao was a little surprised, "What a coincidence, it's my favorite sauce."

Bo Yuxiu was also surprised and said, "What a coincidence! Try it and see if you like the flavor I made."

She picked up her chopsticks, dipped them in the sauce, and put them in her mouth. Shen Yao's taste buds were completely awakened, and she nodded, "Delicious."

"Cook some slices of fatty beef in the broth; it'll taste even better with the dipping sauce." Bo Yuxiu said, taking a serving chopstick and cooking a slice of fatty beef in the broth. After five seconds, he took it out and put it in Shen Yao's bowl. "Try it again."

Shen Yao picked up a slice of fatty beef with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The delicious aroma, combined with the tender fatty beef, made Shen Yao smile with her eyes crinkling.

In a cheerful atmosphere, the two began to eat hot pot.

Not far behind them, a woman secretly recorded the scene on her phone.

Gu Tianyou had just come out of the hospital. He looked haggard and had a ring of bruises around his lips.

Feeling his phone vibrate, he took it out and saw that it was a message from Ye Yingying.

Feeling a little impatient, I opened WeChat.

"Brother Tianyou, guess who I saw at the hot pot restaurant?"

"Yao Yao, it seems like she's in a relationship. She and her boyfriend seem to have a great relationship."

When Gu Tianyou opened the video, he saw the man pick up a piece of fatty beef and put it into Shen Yao's bowl. Shen Yao looked at the man and smiled happily.
