Chapter 30: The Best of Times
Chen Mingyuan also fell into silence, and he couldn't help but think of the night when the two met for the first time.
It was the first time he had attended a gathering of members of the Stargazing Society, and because of his belation, he could only sit in the back row.
Seeing Zhang Yitian talking like a river on the podium, Chen Mingyuan just listened boredly, until a woman in a black gauze dress gently knocked on the table and asked if there was anyone sitting next to him, and then he came back to his senses and immediately witnessed an unforgettable scene in his life.
At that time, Yin Xiayuan was already graceful, with lake-like water-cutting eyes, clear and clear, and a quiet and clear facial temperament that made people's hearts shake.
It was at that moment that this woman walked into his world, and her indelible figure was imprinted.
It's a pity that the first time we talked, he made a big red face, and he couldn't speak well, and now that I think about it, it's quite funny.
But that simple and pure feeling has also been preserved to this day.
With the growth of experience, Chen Mingyuan is no longer the young boy he was at the beginning, and naturally he will not make the naΓ―ve mistakes he made at the beginning, it stands to reason that he should be able to pursue Yin Xiayuan boldly with confidence, but there are still a lot of barriers between the two.
It is true that with the power and wealth of the family, it is easy to save Yin Xiayuan's father, so as to gain her favor and trust, it will inevitably come naturally, but Chen Mingyuan really doesn't want to take advantage of the danger of others, even if he gets what he wants, and when he gets together with Yin Xiayuan, what he gets is just another way of gratitude.
Maybe this concept is really pedantic and rigid in the eyes of many sons, but for Yin Xiayuan, Chen Mingyuan still can't bear to defile and hurt, perhaps, this is the only pure land left in his heart.
"Maybe you've been pressed by pressure for too long, and it's easy to lose control of your emotions as soon as they come up, which makes you laugh."
Yin Xiayuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "But I still want to thank you, and I am willing to listen to my complaints." β
Chen Mingyuan said with a smile: "It's okay, if you still have something on your mind in the future and can't find someone to talk to, you can come to me." β
Looking at his warm smile, Yin Xiayuan lost his mind slightly, and in an instant, the haze in his heart seemed to have dispelled a lot, and there was still a gurgling warm current.
But when she thought of the cruel reality, her face turned gloomy again, and she said to herself: "I hope there will be such an opportunity......
After speaking, Yin Xiayuan got up suddenly, stroked the bangs in front of his forehead, and said, "I'll go back to take care of my dad first, so I won't send you...... After you go back, tell me on my behalf, Xie Lu thanks him for his care and cultivation all the time, this time, I disappointed him......"
Smelling the strange meaning in her words, Chen Mingyuan always felt that she would do something stupid for her father, "Then how do you plan to cure your father's illness next?" β
Yin Xiayuan smiled lonely, "What else can I do, it can be delayed for a while, as long as my father's condition can improve, I have to work hard to raise any money, but now that the family's savings are not much left, I have discussed with my mother, and I plan to sell the house assigned to the unit first, how much can be sold, and if it is not enough, I have to find someone to borrow it." β
Seeing that she could remain optimistic in such a desperate situation, Chen Mingyuan was quite unhappy, so he took out his bank card from his pocket, handed it over, and said: "There are 50,000 yuan in this card, which the director of Guan asked me to hand over to you, you can first take it to pay for medical expenses or buy some nutritional products for your father." β
Seeing Yin Xiayuan shaking his head, he grabbed that inch of Hao wrist and forcibly stuffed the card into her palm, "Now is not the time to pretend to be strong and independent, think more about your parents, don't forget, you will be suspended from work for a month next!" β
This sentence undoubtedly poked Yin Xiayuan's weakness, and when he thought of his father, who was suffering from illness, he loosened his wrist and let the bank card be stuffed into his hand.
After Chen Mingyuan reported the password to her, he said: "You can use this money with confidence, the character of the head of the Guan, you and I both know that although the iron face is ruthless, at least it will not hurt people, this favor, you can rest assured that you owe it first, and you will have the opportunity to pay it back later, but remember, not everyone is so good at owing, and when the time comes, you will not even have the opportunity to regret it!" β
He bit the second half of the sentence very hard, and couldn't help but think of Min Baitao, who had ill intentions, and wondered if this scum would harass Yin Xiayuan next, and even make a fuss about her father's illness.
Yin Xiayuan's heart tightened, and he didn't know if Lu Dao heard the meaning of his words.
"The rest of the money, you can rest assured, give me a few days, and I will solve it together, including the money for kidney replacement and the hospital."
Seeing Yin Xiayuan's face full of disbelief, Chen Mingyuan still swore and promised: "I know that you may not believe it, but I still have to make this promise to you, within a week, your father's illness will definitely be treated perfectly, and there will be no more problems, so in the next few days, you must not do anything stupid, just concentrate on taking care of your father, and leave the rest to me, understand?" β
Yin Xiayuan's originally clear eyes were full of surprise and confusion, and he couldn't figure out what way he could save his father.
She is still clear about Chen Mingyuan's current situation, although he is also a contract worker, his status in Taiwan is even far inferior to herself, can she rely on his meager salary to bear huge medical expenses?
As for the foundation of the family, she never saw that this junior brother had anything to do with wealth, but looking at his expression and tone, she couldn't detect the slightest hypocrisy, and she didn't have the youth and immaturity she once had, but her deep gaze as a waterhole still gave people a kind of trusting composure and confidence, and the arc light was faintly smeared in his brown pupils, which was quite good-looking, and there were a few traces of sour taste brewing and volatilizing, and Fang Xin couldn't help but speed up the throbbing.
Suddenly, that beautiful and refined face, in the sunset, there was a different kind of rose red rendering, lowered his eyes, his eyebrows fluttered, and he didn't dare to look at him again.
Accustomed to Chen Mingyuan's repeated dodging of his gaze, at this moment, the positions have been reversed.
But since he was a child, he has experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection, and then encountered this change, Yin Xiayuan's understanding of reality has long been very clear, and naturally he will not be moved by these few words, let alone believe it, but he is grateful for his kindness, he still smiled and nodded his head, and said softly: "Thank you, Mingyuan, you are really good, I am glad that I met you...... It's a pity that I'm only getting acquainted with you now, and I've wasted the previous few years in vain, no matter whether my dad is safe or not, I will keep your words today in my heart and never forget. β
Chen Mingyuan secretly smiled bitterly, he really didn't have the spirit of the protagonist in the novel, so naturally it was impossible to attract a beautiful woman as a god because of a few words, not to mention that Yin Xiayuan was originally a very assertive woman, and there was still a long way to go if she wanted to gain her trust or even favor.
Knowing that it was useless to say more, Chen Mingyuan comforted her a few more words, and after leaving his mobile phone number, he said goodbye and left.
Glancing at the small note with the number written on his hand, Yin Xiayuan carefully put it away, put it in his pocket, looked at his figure that disappeared in the afterglow of dusk, and suddenly had an inexplicable longing and throbbing, looking forward to time to flow back a little, back to the time in college, back to the summer night when I first met, although I was young and ignorant, but with a soft and carefree tone, perhaps, I could choose to know him in another way......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After going back and reporting the situation concisely, Guan Congyun just sighed deeply, and then did not express any emotion, just asked Chen Mingyuan to take a temporary rest in the next few days, wait for the turmoil to pass, and then discuss his club plan again.
As for Yin Xiayuan's matter, he didn't mention it again.
Chen Mingyuan didn't blame him, he had done his best to bear it, and he still had to do the rest by himself.
At this time, he was a rich man, and he actually sighed like many laypeople: Although money will bring a lot of troubles, I have to say that it is really impossible to do without it, just like this time, if there is no Chairman Zhang, Yin Xiayuan and her parents will face a catastrophe!
Since he was a child, he really didn't have much concept of money, and even lived comfortably for a few years in the cold war with the family, but now, he attaches more importance to the family's financial resources than ever before, but unfortunately the turmoil that the family is encountering makes him unable to extend this hand for the time being.
At this stage, he can only hope that this huge turmoil can settle as soon as possible, of course, the ending must be as he expected, otherwise, his experience is definitely no better than Yin Xiayuan, let alone helping others.
In the blink of an eye, another three days have passed, and Chen Mingyuan has been idle for three days, from a busy person to a big idler in the eyes of everyone, among them, Xu Mo is undoubtedly happy to see this scene.
He heard from his uncle, who was the deputy director, that the plan for the club was suppressed by Guan Congyun, and he naturally thought that the interest of the director of Guan had passed, so he was too lazy to look at Chen Mingyuan for half a while, and it was estimated that it would not be long before he would forget about this person.
So, in the past few days, Xu Mo has been gloating and waiting for the moment when this thorn is completely beaten into the cold palace, and when the time comes, he can play with him unscrupulously for fun!
Of course, Chen Mingyuan can detect all of this, and he is too lazy to care, just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he deserves to be regarded as a big enemy?
Besides, his mind had already drifted to Zhonghai not far away.
In the blink of an eye, in September, after a fierce discussion at the central decision-making level, at the Fourth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee, the CPC Central Committee finally promulgated the "Decision on Several Major Issues Concerning the Reform and Development of State-Owned Enterprises", which also means that the means of forcibly cutting off and selling state assets at a low price have been completely banned. This is the end of this far-reaching turmoil.
The day after learning that the overall situation had been decided, Chen Mingyuan received a long-awaited phone call, a call from his mother in person, asking him to go home immediately!
