After leaving the company, Lu Hao looked around downstairs again. When he didn't see Su Yu, he let out a long sigh.

Just then, a delicate hand landed on his shoulder, and a very familiar voice sounded behind him.

"What's wrong? Are you a little disappointed that you didn't see me?"

Lu Hao freed the hand from his shoulder and turned to look at Su Yu behind him.

She was still wearing that business suit, but her indifference was gone; instead, she wore a bright, cheerful smile.

"Are you bored? You come here and wait for me every day."

"I didn't come yesterday."

Lu Hao closed his eyes, turned around and left without hesitation.

"Lu Hao, treat me to dinner." Su Yu quickly caught up and walked alongside Lu Hao.

"I have no money."

"Then it's my treat."

I'm not hungry.

"I'm the client!"

Lu Hao stopped in his tracks, looking at Su Yu beside him with a big smile on her face, and he had the urge to punch her.

"you……"

"I'm the client!"

Su Yu repeated it, her eyebrows curving into a beautiful crescent moon.

Lu Hao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and clenched his fists.

"What are you afraid of?" Su Yu took two steps forward, getting closer to Lu Hao. "Didn't you say we have no feelings for each other? Is having dinner with the client to discuss work really that difficult for you?"

Lu Hao opened his eyes and looked at the stunningly beautiful face before him. The sweet fragrance that filled his nostrils made him feel as if he had returned to his university days.

Back then, Su Yu would always be around him. Whenever she threw a tantrum, she would stand in front of him like this, looking him straight in the eye, with an air of self-righteousness.

"What do you want to eat?" Lu Hao conceded.

Given his status as the client, he has no reason to refuse.

"I want to eat grilled fish."

Grilled fish?

Lu Hao's eyes were glazed over, and he unconsciously recalled the scene of the first time the two of them ate grilled fish.

Ruthless and exhilarating, the two of them devoured a three-pound fish.

That meal was the first time the two of them had spent so much money since they got together.

Lu Hao remembered that it cost more than two hundred yuan.

After finishing the meal, Su Yu exclaimed, "When we have money in the future, we'll eat grilled fish every day, and we'll even try the king of grilled fish, 'Jiangtuan'!"

……

A large shopping mall next to Lu Hao's company.

Inside a grilled fish restaurant on the fourth floor.

Looking at the spicy grilled fish that had been served, and then at Su Yu across from him who was eager to eat, Lu Hao felt as if the two of them were still in college.

"Lu Hao, try this. This is Jiangtuan fish. I heard it's the king of grilled fish." Su Yu picked up a large piece of fish, dipped it in sauce, and placed it in Lu Hao's bowl.

"I……"

Lu Hao was interrupted by Su Yu before he could even open his mouth, "Do you remember what I said before, that when we have money, we definitely have to come and try it?"

Lu Hao remained silent. He lowered his head, picked up a piece of fish from the bowl, and put it in his mouth. The fish melted in his mouth, delicate and juicy, and tasted better than any he had ever eaten before.

Seeing that Lu Hao didn't speak, Su Yu picked up a piece herself and said while eating, "This one alone costs more than seven hundred. We couldn't afford it before."

"I can't afford it now either."

Lu Hao wasn't lying; he really couldn't afford a grilled fish that cost over 700 yuan. One meal there would cost almost a tenth of his salary.

Even now, he can still only afford a grilled fish for 68 yuan from a roadside stall.

"Lu Hao, aren't you curious why I chose your company?" Su Yu ate her food casually, as if chatting with an old friend.

"I'm not curious. Your purpose is too obvious."

"Aren't you curious why I have the ability to choose your company?"

"I don't want to know."

The bland answer did not dampen Su Yu's spirits at all; she seemed to be talking to herself.

"This company is one I co-founded, and it's only been established for less than a week. This promotional plan is our company's first major undertaking. I have great confidence in our products, and I also have confidence in your plan."

Lu Hao looked up at Su Yu, who was propping up her palm with chopsticks, resting her chin on the back of her hand, and staring at him.

"How can you be so sure that I'll be in charge?"

"Because I saw you in the reception room today."

"What if I'm not there?"

"That's easy. I'll reject any proposal that isn't signed by you. I'll wait for your proposal eventually."

Lu Hao was stunned. He hadn't expected Su Yu to have such a plan. It was practically feeding him right in front of his mouth.

"You trust me that much?"

"Of course!" Su Yu said firmly, her voice tinged with excitement, "Just like I've always believed you would wait for me for three years."

Lu Hao did not answer the question and silently ate his meal with his head down.

When they chose to break up, besides the fact that they had different goals, Lu Hao also firmly believed that Su Yu had seen a vast world abroad and would not return to China.

They will not continue to search for themselves, this "rootless stray dog".

In the adult world, the promise of love is the least valuable thing.

All those vows of eternal love and lifelong commitment are nothing but sweet talk used to seduce the other person.

After finishing her meal, Su Yu didn't bother Lu Hao any further and got into her car and left first.

Watching the A200L disappear from sight, Lu Hao shook his head helplessly and gave a wry smile.

It feels like he's living off a woman.

Through this meal, Lu Hao already knew that Su Yu would only adopt his own plan, so the bet between Lin Ran and Li Fei was now settled.

This time, Lin Ran should be able to take the manager's position, right?

If that still doesn't work, then there's no point in staying with this company.

As for Su Yu, Lu Hao really has no way to deal with her now.

If he avoided her, he would seem guilty. But if he didn't avoid her, he was afraid that things might escalate if they continued like this.

Right now, I'm just someone who's wasting my life, while Su Yu has already started a company with someone else.

The gap between the two had already widened dramatically since the day Su Yu went abroad three years ago.

Being on the ground, I couldn't look up to see her.

Lu Hao returned to his rented apartment, where the living room was unusually quiet.

With Zhou Mengmeng's noisy chatter gone, Ning Shu had nowhere to be found.

Lu Hao leaned back on the sofa, fumbled for a cigarette case in his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it with a "snap".

As I exhaled a breath of stale air, my phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Qin Shou.

"Hey, Lao Qin, what's up?"

"Come try on the groomsman's outfit tomorrow."

"good!"

After putting down his phone, Lu Hao suddenly remembered that Qin Shou's wedding was also approaching.

Lu Hao had only met his wife Jiang Yun a few times and didn't have a deep impression of her.

However, Jiang Yun's background allows Qin Shou to thrive in the workplace.

Seeing his good brother doing better and better, Lu Hao offered his heartfelt blessings.

But when he thought about himself, Lu Hao felt a sense of helplessness.

It seems I really should start thinking about my future!
