Chapter 195: Truly Facing Your True Heart

Lin Yuan suddenly realized, "It seems that we are not here to chat."

"That's right," Zhang Yan picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "Let's go to the hotel restaurant and wait for him. It's been almost two hours and we haven't seen him yet. Did he send you a message?"

Lin Yuan checked his phone. "I was arranged by the branch office at Zijin. They told me to stay here and have already submitted my number. I'll call the person in charge at Zijin."

Soon, Lin Yuan finished the call.

"Zijin said they would help me push for it, but they refused to give me Mr. Wang's number, saying it was not in compliance with company regulations."

"Should we wait then?"

"I suddenly feel like I don't want to wait any longer. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Why should I make myself angry just to make peace with the group? If the Blue Label Factory doesn't cooperate, I'll look for other opportunities later."

"so?"

"Since we're here," Lin Yuan glanced at the scenery outside the window, "it's just past noon, let's go have lunch and then go out and play."

Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where to eat, where to play."

"I don't know. I haven't had a good time in Songhu yet."

"So what do you like? Do you want something modern or with some old Songhu characteristics?"

"Of course, I look for the ones with unique features."

"Come on, let's go eat first."

The two soon forgot the purpose of their trip to Songhu.

This may be what Zhang Yan meant when he said, "Lin Yuan's behavior was unpredictable."

If it were someone else, they would have to think: Is it because the requirements they put forward are too high, so the other party has opinions and keeps dragging their feet on meeting to deliberately give them a warning?

But Lin Yuan is different. He has the youthful temperament that an ordinary young man of this age should have - if you drag your feet and don't give me your phone number, then I won't serve you.

"Brother, do you dare to turn off your phone?"

"What's wrong with this?"

Lin Yuan quickly sent a message to Xia Ye, informing her that he had something to do and that he would turn off his phone for a while, and then he really turned it off.

"Okay, today's meal is on you."

"I'm willing to do it." Zhang Yan had a gloating expression on his face, "If your cooperation with Blue Label Factory fails, you can't blame me."

"I made the decision myself, so I certainly won't blame you. I won't let them spoil me. I'm hungry, come on, what are we having for lunch."

"How about Michelin? I'll take you there to show off."

Lin Yuan glanced at his attire. Today, he and Zhang Yan came to meet an important partner, so they were dressed in formal attire. Lin Yuan wore a suit under his woolen coat, while Zhang Yan wore a light-colored dress under his down jacket.

Lin Yuan was surprised and said, "Our outfit is just right for showing off at a Michelin restaurant. It turns out that we came to Songhu to have fun today."

"I've been wanting you to take me out to play for a long time. Now is the best day. Let's go!"
-
Inside a Michelin restaurant.

"We're a bit pressed for time today, so I'll take you to a one-star hotel. Next time you invite me back, you have to take me to a three-star hotel." Zhang Yan teased, supporting his chin.

"I'm just afraid that after this meal I don't want to be ripped off a second time."

"Haha~~" Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled secretly, "In fact, I almost never come to this kind of place. To be honest," she leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear and said, "Look at how pretentious those waiters are. In fact, the food here doesn't taste as good as what Xia Ye and Xiao Xiao make. At least I never get tired of eating what they cook every day."

"Haha~~" Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Then coming here to eat is just confusing human behavior?"

“It’s the emotional value of consumption.”

"Hmm~~, emotional value is the most confusing behavior of human beings. But this money is worth making, and it makes me see a way to rob the rich in an upright way."

"Brother, do you want to change your career? You work so hard writing code, but is the profit as high as the vegetable salad here?"

Zhang Yan was joking, of course. In fact, the most important thing in the Internet industry is not the profit margin, but the scale effect. But Lin Yuan was not stupid enough to talk to her about this at this time.

"I've come up with a better way to make money. I might as well make digital luxury goods."

"What it is?"

“Luxury products are all about style and emotional value. But I don’t understand art like painting and sculpture, I only understand IT. So why can’t digital products be works of art? I can use blockchain to make digital luxury goods.”

Zhang Yan was surprised and said, "I don't know how impressive he is. He is indeed my good senior brother." The two of them kept whispering to each other in the restaurant. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were a couple in love. But in fact, they were looking at everything here with a critical eye - the people, the things, and all the details that happened here.

There is nothing much to say about the meal.

To sum it up in Lin Yuan’s words – apart from the food not being full and being too expensive, everything else is fine.

Lin Yuan pulled Zhang Yan out without eating enough, because after looking at the menu, he quickly lost interest in continuing to explore.

"There are so many things you can do with that money. I think of the son of my former riding buddy. He was a jerk, but if you invest more in education for a kid like that, maybe it can really dilute the darkness in his heart.

I used to think that boy was a wolf cub, but now I think that a child like him might be saved, because he was made like this by a double lack of material and spiritual aspects. If he is better off materially and spiritually, then maybe he can change a little.

But some people become bad even when they are both materially and spiritually well-off. I think they are hopeless.”

"Brother, you can complain so much just for a meal."

“I have to always look at the world with a critical eye, and look at myself in the same way.”

Zhang Yan immediately took Lin Yuan's hand and kissed it, "Let me see you criticize yourself first."

"Ahem~~, I...I was coerced by you."

"Fuck!" Zhang Yan swore, which was rare. "I have my ID with me. Don't force me to threaten you. I'll see if you will still say that when we get to the hotel and close the door."

"Okay," Lin Yuan finally stopped pretending, "You and Xia Ye are both very good girls. I am lucky to have you."

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Song Xiaoxiao, how are you going to deal with this?"

"Ah?" Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Yan, who was smiling, and instinctively realized the danger. "I actually wanted her to move out a long time ago. But you know Xia Ye's situation. She is just a half-grown child. I really don't feel at ease without Song Xiaoxiao with her.

But since Song Xiaoxiao wants to follow me, I can't chase her away. It would be embarrassing.

Don't worry about that. I have absolutely no thoughts about Song Xiaoxiao. I will stay pure for you and Xia Ye."

"You're taking advantage of me and still acting like a good kid?" Zhang Yan wasn't annoyed. "From Song Xiaoxiao's perspective, you helped her pay back one million. And she's a very practical person. As long as you ask her, she won't disagree. Haha, I even think she'll be willing to help you keep it a secret from Xia Ye."

"Really? Xia Ye is her good sister."

"Brother, please believe me. This is a woman's intuition."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'd better not try to understand these things."

"Brother, I think you must be feeling very happy right now. Originally you had the will but not the courage to do it, and you were constrained by your simple moral values. Now I have forced you to submit, and you must be secretly happy."

"I... I wanted to be sad. You see, I was originally Xia Yechun and I were meant to be together for life, and that was fine. But you intervened like this, and I think I should be sad. But I tried very hard, and I just couldn't be sad."

"Shameless!" Zhang Yan calmly gave a brief but accurate evaluation.

"But," Lin Yuan immediately emphasized, "I feel that what I am doing is not good, and I feel that I am being hypocritical. So I absolutely cannot have any improper thoughts about Song Xiaoxiao anymore, this is my bottom line. If I go against what I said today, I am willing to be struck by lightning.

In fact, I am very panicked now. How can I face Xia Ye? I made so many promises to her, and I broke them. "

"What promise?"

"I will marry her and treat her well forever."

"You're still going to marry her and treat her well for the rest of your life. You're just going to treat me well for an extra lifetime."

"No, a promise is a promise. Little sister, although you forced me to do this, I didn't resist strongly enough. I ask myself, I still like you. If someone else forced me, I would definitely resist to the end. I gave in half-heartedly, but I can't be both a role model and a role model."

"You finally said something human."

Lin Yuan continued, "Will I meet someone I like again in the future who forces me? For example, if another Zhang Yan 2.0 appears, I will definitely not give in. So, I decided that you didn't force me to do this, but I made a mistake myself. I pursued you myself.

Little sister, you didn't force me to do this. I seduced you myself. I am the bastard."

Zhang Yan was stunned. "Brother, you are worthy of being my brother. You dare to face your own heart."

"Little sister, I am afraid of this change in myself. I am afraid that one day I will really become an adult. So I want to stop here, and please bear witness to me. If I continue to flirt with other women, you can find someone to put me in a sack and bury me."

"Well, in a society ruled by law, you can't just put someone in a sack. But don't worry, I have more exciting ways to play than putting someone in a sack."

The two chatted and strolled for a long time, until it was time to return, and Lin Yuan turned on his phone.

Sure enough, there were a bunch of missed calls.
