At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Su Che felt that

Jiang Nai is quite like that kind of girl.

It's best not to take the risk.

"By the way, the work at the bar... are you able to handle it? If I miss a day, will it increase the workload for my colleagues?"

Seeing that it was almost time, Su Che suddenly remembered something and asked a question.

Not causing trouble for anyone has been one of his most cherished principles since childhood.

"Don't worry, they all get paid. The more they work, the more they earn. Besides, I recently hired a new girl to help out. She's a familiar face, and you'll see her next time you come."

Ningning smiled mysteriously.

"what……?"

Upon hearing this, Su Che became a little curious.

There aren't many familiar faces around at Tianhai.

"Who is it? Have I seen this person before?"

"Come and see for yourself on Wednesday. You two should get along well. Also, don't do anything you shouldn't do in the bar, especially right under the security cameras."

The proprietress kept everyone in suspense, saying something rather strange.

This made someone's heart itch, making it even more difficult to ask for more leave.

"alright."

Su Che didn't ask any more questions. He packed his bag and decided to meet Yu Xi at the place she had arranged later.

-

……

Today's meeting place is not a five-star hotel on campus.

After all, that was Yu tide's "dormitory".

Private meetings are fine, but if you want to discuss serious matters, you should choose other occasions, especially face-to-face meetings between teammates.

"Yu Yun Tea House" is one of the businesses of the Yu family enterprise. It is a national chain, and has already acquired 6 stores in various areas of Tianhai City.

Today's meeting will be held at a branch in the city center, near the lakeside area.

The legal representative here is Yu tide's father, Yu Youcheng.

Lao Yu is from Wencheng. He dropped out of school after elementary school to go into business.

Because of his lack of education, he was often jokingly called a "lucky nouveau riche" by his fellow businessmen, and he spent most of his life with this nickname in Tianhai.

Although he appears nonchalant and indifferent on the surface, he secretly harbors thoughts of opening some "refined" shops...

This is to show that they are not truly devoid of culture, nor are they only capable of real estate and infrastructure development.

Yu Youcheng's view is, "Even if I only have a primary school diploma, I can still earn a lot of money and be considered a successful person, respected by most people in society."

Having Yu tide learn piano was also a way of proving that, besides business, it's not impossible for his offspring to pursue some "refined" art.

recent,

I heard that my daughter has made some new friends.

They even wanted to form a "band" and compete in the most prestigious music competition in Tianhai City, hoping to win first place...

Yu Youcheng offered his full support and even told his secretaries and subordinates:

"If Xixi has any needs that I haven't noticed while I'm busy with business, just let me know immediately. As for material things, whatever the cost or how much it costs, as long as it can be bought with money, arrange it for me!"

"Roger that!"

Today, he was seen at the entrance of his own property.

On both sides of the teahouse, the uniformed employees and managers stood ramrod straight, silent and trembling.

On the left is a row of welcoming models dressed in cheongsams. They are tall, have perfect figures, and wear exquisite makeup, representing the outward appearance of the teahouse industry.

On the right are bodyguards, drivers, and secretaries, all dressed in suits and wearing reflective sunglasses, ready to be at your beck and call at any time.

And Yu Youcheng himself, right in the center...

He was a short, dark-skinned middle-aged man.

He had a leather bag tucked under his arm, a thick cigarette dangling from his mouth, and was no more than 1.65 meters tall. His high-end leather shoes had hidden heel lifts.

He smiled broadly at his beloved daughter behind him and gave her some instructions:

"Xixi, Dad won't be participating in your young people's gathering. Today I'm going to the Mu family to try and build a relationship with your Uncle Mu, maybe I can get you a spot in the Black Market or something."

Haha, the manager has prepared the finest tea for us here. Just let them know if you need anything. Remember, never put on airs with your friends. Even though we're not short of money, we can't be arrogant.

The key is to build genuine relationships; you can't be as willful as you are at home, understand? If you meet a nice young man, you can find some time to have your dad check him out, just to give him a second glance...

You have to understand, we're not like other families. I'm not stubborn at all. We don't need any social standing or that the other person is better off than us.

But Dad has only one condition: the other person must be a "talented" young man, you know?

Xixi, whether we can clear Dad's name depends entirely on you and your future son-in-law...

Yu Youcheng spoke earnestly, pausing after each step, and then rambling on for at least ten sentences.

Yu tide was so tired of hearing it that her ears were practically calloused.

"Old Yu, you'd better leave already. You're driving me crazy every day. Also, don't try any of those business tricks. This time, I just want to beat Lian Ya with my own strength. Don't you dare go and beg Grandpa Mu, or you'll embarrass me in the end."

"Oh, okay, okay... I'm just going to have some tea, just tea. Haha."

"..."

Yu tide is often speechless about her father.

However, the old man has become very talkative since the divorce, focusing almost entirely on his own needs... Anyone who isn't blind can sense this.

Therefore, it's barely understandable.

Yu tide has always been a child who knows how to repay her family. Therefore, she doesn't go against her family like a typical rebellious girl. On the contrary, she will prioritize Lao Yu's "wishes".

[A talented son-in-law...?]

She squinted her eyes.

I watched as Lao Yu and his subordinates left the teahouse, got into a long Lexus, and sped away.

He pondered it carefully in his heart—

"The talent he's talking about is definitely not ordinary talent. It has to be at least at the level of my mother."

Yu tide's grandmother was a foreign musician who passed away abroad a few years ago. By her mother's generation, they were practically a musical family, and her artistic talent was largely inherited from her.

My mother graduated from the composition department of the Central Conservatory of Music. After graduation, she worked as a teacher at a music academy and has now risen to the rank of associate professor, also serving as a part-time examiner.

The reason she divorced her father was because she looked down on his "cultural background" and thought he was too "vulgar," which led to their unpleasant breakup.

Although her mother still visits her regularly and occasionally offers pointers on piano playing, explaining things in simple terms and with profound insights, the relationship between mother and daughter can be described as icy, with little emotional connection between them.

The most fundamental reason is—

Last time I mentioned that I was going to participate in the "Mosse Cup"...

The mother actually shook her head, denying her own opinion.

She said, "It's meaningless for one person to be strong; you can't win."

In that case, it would be almost indistinguishable from a sharp blade.

This was something that Yu tide found extremely difficult to accept at the time.

From a young age, my mother was the type who would give up easily.

The guiding principle has always been "Don't make useless attempts, and know yourself."

Old Yu's motto is, "No matter what you do, daughter, your father will support you."

Their educational philosophies were also completely different, making it almost certain that they wouldn't end up together.

"No."

I get angry just thinking about these things.

Dressed in a sophisticated evening gown, Yu tide stood gracefully at the entrance of the teahouse, determined to make a change.

Compared to her emotionally detached mother who only focuses on her career, she would rather her father fulfill his wishes in his later years, and she wouldn't mind if he even found a stepmother. Yu tide expressed her full support.

She began to consider things she "wished about".

Looking around, the number of people who could truly be considered "talented" can be counted on one hand. There's no need to even consider another.

I witnessed his performance firsthand; the level of emotion he conveyed indicated he was under immense pressure, no less than I was under.

He... seems to be carrying a burden.

That must be it.

A few days ago, although I was deceived by someone's sweet talk,

But after returning home and thinking it over carefully, Yu tide still discovered some suspicious points in Su Che's words—

such as,

Why did he crave me so much, yet not come in to check on me while I was showering?

Another example,

Why did he pin me against the wall without even touching or kissing me, when I wouldn't resist at all?

And there is,

The phone call a few days ago,

"He said he was thirsty, but his tone was calm and strange. If he were truly thirsty, he should have felt a rush of thirst to his head, but he didn't at all. It was as if he was stating a fact, gradually pushing something towards its conclusion..."

"He...he's manipulating me."

"He had ulterior motives."

After calming down, Yu tide, who achieved top marks in all subjects, realized that her computing power was astonishing.
