Li Chuchu spent the whole night pondering at home.
When Shen Yanshan came back, she even mentioned this matter to him.
To Li Chuchu's surprise, Shen Yanshan really took it seriously.
He said seriously, "Girls really need to be discerning when it comes to finding a partner. Some men may look decent, but in fact, they are good at disguising. One careless move and you may get yourself trapped."
Li Chuchu felt that there was an underlying meaning in his words, so she followed up, "Really? Then what kind of man do you think is suitable for marriage?"
Shen Yanshan didn't say a word.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chuchu. The meaning in his eyes was obvious: Here I am right in front of you. Can't you tell?
Just before Li Chuchu was about to roll her eyes at him, Shen Yanshan cleared his throat and got to the point, "This mainly depends on your friend's attitude. If you try to interfere forcefully, it may damage your relationship with your friend. Why not try a different approach? Start from that Yu guy."
"For example?"
Shen Yanshan's slender fingers deftly picked the vegetable leaves. There was a strange smile on his face that was completely out of tune with his action. He said in a low and gloomy tone, "A person tends to show off what they lack the most. If he really has a violent tendency as you said, you can try to probe a bit in this regard and you'll find out."
Li Chuchu saw this scene.
At this moment, Shen Yanshan really looked like a gloomy big shot.
After he finished picking the vegetable leaves, he turned to look at Li Chuchu again, with an innocent smile on his face, "Chuchu, how should I cook this dish? I'll do it."
Li Chuchu silently turned her head.
Forget it. Although Shen Yanshan has a naughty nature, at least he is sincere to me.
"Stir - fry it. Let's eat something light tonight."
"Okay!"
As if receiving an imperial order, Shen Yanshan happily went to the outside stove to cook.
However, Shen Yanshan's words really inspired her. She thought of a good way to hit the scumbag right where it hurts. But this scenario needed an actor who could adapt flexibly. Who could she find...
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Li Chuchu's mind. She thought of a good candidate.
...
"I can do this! I knew you were the most reliable! You even called me for such a big thing!"
Chen Junsheng looked as excited as if he had taken a shot of adrenaline.
He finally understood why his father always told him to learn from Li Chuchu.
Following Li Chuchu, there was always endless gossip to watch!
Li Chuchu explained to Chen Junsheng in detail what he needed to do.
Chen Junsheng nodded repeatedly and was eager to try, "After I finish acting, can I sit beside and continue watching? Or should I leave directly? And will I get beaten like this?"
Li Chuchu comforted him half - heartedly, "It doesn't matter if it gets exposed. You're the son of the factory director. No one would dare to beat you even if it gets out."
Chen Junsheng, this silly guy, thought about it seriously.
Indeed, although this reputation couldn't allow him to indulge in debauchery, it could at least protect him from being bullied. So he patted his chest and promised.
"Sure, I'll act without a trace!"
...
At noon,
Mu Wan tied her ponytail high and waved excitedly as soon as she saw Li Chuchu at the door, "Chuchu, over here!"
Li Chuchu didn't see Yu Xiuyuan's figure. She looked at Mu Wan in confusion, "Didn't Yu Xiuyuan come with you?"
Mu Wan put her arm around Li Chuchu's and explained, "Yu Xiuyuan said he'd wait for us at the restaurant. We can just go there directly."
Li Chuchu nodded in understanding.
When they arrived at the appointed restaurant, she looked around but didn't see Yu Xiuyuan. So she raised her eyebrows and looked at Mu Wan.
Mu Wan rarely showed a bit of embarrassment on her face and explained to Li Chuchu, "Maybe he was delayed on the way. I'll talk to him when he comes."
After nearly half an hour, a figure appeared at the restaurant door, arriving late. Yu Xiuyuan was wearing a military uniform, which made other people in the restaurant turn their heads frequently. Li Chuchu even suspected that this guy didn't have any other clothes to wear. Otherwise, why did he have to dress like such a show - off?
The moment Yu Xiuyuan saw Li Chuchu's face, he was stunned for a moment, and his smile became much more sincere. He pushed the chair away and said frivolously, "Sorry, I was a bit delayed. I hope you haven't been waiting too long."
Although he said so, there was hardly any sign of apology.
Li Chuchu remained silent.
Mu Wan felt a bit awkward. She politely reminded, "Was it something important? If you had something, you could have told us in advance. We could have changed the day."
Yu Xiuyuan nodded slightly and said, "It just happened. There was a call from the army today, saying some important things."
Since he didn't take the initiative to talk about army matters, Mu Wan didn't feel good about asking further.
Yu Xiuyuan asked Li Chuchu and Mu Wan to order dishes.
Li Chuchu politely ordered one and left the rest to Mu Wan. Finally, the menu landed in Yu Xiuyuan's hands.
Yu Xiuyuan ordered several signature dishes of the state - owned restaurant.
When he looked at Li Chuchu, there was a bit of inquiry in his eyes.
"Before, Wanwan always mentioned you to me. She said you were very outstanding. You're not only the announcer of Lianhua Iron and Steel Factory but also good at negotiation and translation. Seeing you today, your temperament is really different."
Li Chuchu said politely, "No. It's just that senior sister likes me, so she praised me. Senior sister has been very kind to me. When I first came to the broadcasting room, I relied on her. She taught me a lot of professional knowledge."
Mu Wan was a bit surprised. She didn't understand why Li Chuchu would say so.
Hearing this, Yu Xiuyuan showed an expected look on his face.
He thought so. How could a young girl have such strong professional abilities? Most likely, Mu Wan deliberately exaggerated her friend's value in front of him to highlight her own abilities.
Then he inquired further, "Miss Li became an announcer at such a young age. Such outstanding talents are rare. I guess it must be because of good family education. What do your parents do?"
A glint of darkness flashed through Li Chuchu's eyes. She knew exactly what he was up to, "My parents are factory workers, but my mother passed away many years ago."
Hearing this answer, the look of understanding in Yu Xiuyuan's eyes became even stronger.
"So that's it. That's really a pity."
He originally wanted to make some useful connections through Mu Wan. Since this friend surnamed Li was just an ordinary announcer, there was no point in having this meal. In the following conversation, Yu Xiuyuan's attitude became obviously more casual, even perfunctory.
Yu Xiuyuan wasn't like this before. The change in his attitude was so obvious that even Mu Wan noticed it. What puzzled her even more was why Li Chuchu would give such an answer that seemed to lower her own value.
She felt a bit uneasy and subconsciously looked at Chuchu.
But there was no expression on Li Chuchu's face. She still maintained the politeness she had shown at the first meeting and chatted about topics among ordinary friends at the dinner table.
