Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 62 The emotional game is like a duel between masters.

Even after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Jin Yuanyuan's phone was still ringing non-stop. Besides friends sending New Year's greetings and acquaintances, most of the calls were inquiries about Jin Yaya bamboo fiber socks. Jin Yuanyuan was talking all day long and couldn't stop.

Cao Xiaoyu was quite happy and had already started answering the phone for Jin Yuanyuan on her own initiative.

There were only the three of them in Jin Yaya's small restaurant, and finally, it was just the three of them. They were happy, just like when they were kids.

Jin Feiyan was busy making dumplings for the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Ye Huanxi was going to bring her new boyfriend over to have dinner with them later. She was sweating profusely and was being directed around by Jin Yuanyuan.

"Your boyfriend did this, it was quite sudden." Jin Feiyan threw a bunch of large shrimp at Jin Yuanyuan, who needed to remove the threads and peel the heads. Jin Yuanyuan was so tired that she collapsed by the pool.

"At that time, that was all I could think about."

"Well, to be honest, I can't say it's bad, but from what I've heard these past few days, there have been a lot of inquiries, but not many actual orders. But how did they get your phone number?"

"Didn't I open a live stream room? I left my phone number. I also left the phone number in Jin Yaya's office, but we didn't go, so they all called me." Jin Yuanyuan pulled up a high chair and sat down. "In previous years, during the Lunar New Year, besides you and my colleagues sending New Year's greetings and grabbing red envelopes, it was usually insurance companies, financial institutions, study abroad agencies, beauty salons and the like sending greetings. I really didn't expect it to be like this this year."

"As long as we get orders, that's good. At least your mother won't say anything." Jin Feiyan glanced at her and didn't continue, because Zhu Hongying hung up the phone so calmly that day, which made all three of them a little apprehensive.

"Yuanyuan, Zhang Dali called you." Cao Xiaoyu walked over with the phone in hand, and at the same time reached out to pull up a high chair for Jin Feiyan so that she could sit down as well.

Jin Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before answering the phone. Zhang Dali simply smiled and said he wished her a belated Happy New Year, explaining that he had been working overtime these past few days, meeting with several clients and former superiors, and was very busy. He would invite Jin Yuanyuan to dinner after the New Year.

Jin Yuanyuan gave a few casual replies and hung up the phone without saying much more.

Cao Xiaoyu and Jin Feiyan were both looking at her, their eyes conveying a variety of emotions and meanings.

Jin Yuanyuan could only sigh, "It's really nothing, just a simple phone call."

"The key question is, do you have any ideas?" Jin Feiyan put down everything she was doing. "What are your thoughts?"

"I don't have any thoughts." Jin Yuanyuan put her phone aside and then prepared to pick up the shrimp to clean it.

"Yuanyuan, the emotional relationship between men and women is like a game of chess between experts; it's a push-and-pull, a back-and-forth struggle. You're telling me, has Zhang Dali been contacting you recently? Frequently? By phone or WeChat?"

"No, actually it's quite normal."

"How long has it been since you last contacted him before this call? I seem to remember you saying you often contacted him."

"Later, I was rushing to ship goods before the Spring Festival, so I stopped paying attention to him. It's been about ten days," Jin Yuanyuan thought for a moment. "Actually, he was just asking about bank loans, and he didn't say anything else."

"Hehe, so he called you. Men, huh." Jin Feiyan glanced at Cao Xiaoyu. "Anyway, I think that although Zhang Dali is your first love, you haven't been in contact for so many years, and he even got married once... It's not that divorced men are bad, but you still need to be careful..."

Cao Xiaoyu picked up where Jin Feiyan left off, with a slightly cautious tone, "Feiyan and I have talked about this. We both think... Zhang Dali broke up with you because he was jealous of the boy's jacket on your dorm bed back then, and you were the one who got dumped. We both think this man is petty, narrow-minded, and even a bit domineering..."

Jin Feiyan nudged Cao Xiaoyu's arm, signaling him to stop talking, but she continued, "Of course, we're just talking. The key is your attitude—whether you like him, can tolerate him, or accept him. This concerns your future. We can only watch from the sidelines and protect you. You'll have to experience it for yourself."

"Yes, I understand." Jin Yuanyuan also sighed. She understood Zhang Dali's character perfectly well; he was indeed not very magnanimous.

However, when talking about themselves, they usually can't explain things clearly, but when talking about others, they can make perfect sense and speak eloquently, going on and on for three days and three nights.

Just like when Ye Huanxi brought her new boyfriend, everyone was indeed very hospitable, with twelve dishes including crab, shrimp, ribs, and lamb spine, filling the whole table.

Ye Huanxi has known her boyfriend for about a month, and they both like each other very much, but they haven't made any further plans yet. After all, they're still in the emotional turmoil phase, and they both need time to adjust. So, Ye Huanxi first introduced him to Jin Yuanyuan, intending for them to give their opinion.

Although Jin Yuanyuan felt that Ye Huanxi's boyfriend, Xu Qingshan, hadn't been dating for very long, she had heard that he was sunny and handsome, witty and humorous, had a stable job, was a doctoral student with room for promotion, was an only child, had highly educated parents, and owned two houses in Shanghai... More importantly, Ye Huanxi felt quite happy when she was with him and had never been angry or quarreled with him.

Based on both the physical and mental aspects, Jin Yuanyuan thought it was quite good. She even considered persuading Ye Huanxi to get married after seeing the real person, so as to save her parents from urging her to get married all the time, which was quite difficult.

Xu Qingshan is good-looking, even a bit taller than Cao Xiaoyu, with delicate features, a typical slender southern boy. Both Jin Yuanyuan and Jin Feiyan gave him a score of 90 in terms of appearance.

For their first meeting, Xu Qingshan prepared gifts for everyone, including a bottle of luxury perfume for Jin Yuanyuan and Jin Feiyan, both quite expensive. Aside from Jin Yuanyuan having a slight aversion to the brand, she wasn't bothered by the price at all.

He brought Cao Xiaoyu two bottles of Wuliangye liquor and two cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes, which made Cao Xiaoyu click his tongue for a long time. He even joked that he should have prepared a game console for him, since he was a young man and not yet an uncle who drank Wuliangye.

Xu Qingshan smiled brightly, and immediately went to Taobao to buy him a new game controller that could connect to the TV. It would be delivered quickly and could be connected to the big TV in Jin Yaya's restaurant so the two of them could play a game of chess.
