C623 A Pill in the Spring of Spring and Spring
This was the central area of education in Zhong Hai, but with the increase in population, some schools had moved to other places. Most of the schools here were the oldest schools in Zhong Hai, and they loved this land without moving around or building new school buildings.
In front of one of the high school's doors, 'Yu Lei', was a mountain climbing tiger vine wrapped around the two walls on both sides of the door. In the front of one of the high school's doors, 'Yu Lei', a mountain climbing tiger vine wrapped around the two walls on both sides of the door.
At this time of the evening, as the sun was setting in the west, Yang Chen passed through a grape rack by a cobblestone paved path and slowly walked towards the school gate.
An old security guard with gray hair at his temples smiled and asked, "Young man, have you found the Teacher Tong you're looking for?"
Yang Chen smiled and nodded. He walked forward and took out a cigarette and handed it to the old security guard, who received it without any hesitation.
Yang Chen took out his lighter, lit it for the guy, and then pointed it at himself before saying, "Teacher Tong just finished her class. I'm going to the office you talked about. She's doing homework."
"That's good, I don't want you to come here for nothing." The old security guard was usually so bored that it was rare for someone to come to school to chat with him and even politely offer him cigarettes. Naturally, he was very enthusiastic.
"I still have to thank you for your help. Otherwise, I would have to look for a lot of people. I might not be able to find them immediately." Yang Chen said gratefully.
The old security guard replied with a hint of smugness, "Let's not talk about other things. I've worked in this school for nearly 30 years and I don't know what's going on. Hehe, of course there's no problem asking about what happened over 10 years ago."
Then, Yang Chen chatted with the old security guard about some of the school's past events, along with some anecdotes and anecdotes. The old security guard talked until he started spitting and spitting, but Yang Chen listened to every word with great interest — because this was the high school Lin Ruoxi had attended.
After Yang Chen found out from Nanny Wang that Lin Ruoxi went to one of those schools, he looked it up carefully. Unfortunately, the primary and middle school Lin Ruoxi went to were merged into a few large schools, so he naturally couldn't find Lin Ruoxi's place back then, as well as the teachers who taught her.
Fortunately, this "Yu Lei" high school that Yu Lei and Elder President invested in had always existed quietly. Although it wasn't very famous in Zhong Hai, its teaching quality had always been good, but because it was too old, few people cared about it.
Yulei International was a big business, so such a small investment was not strange at all.
Through the old security guard, Yang Chen found Lin Ruoxi's old form teacher, a female teacher with the surname Tong.
Now that this teacher was old, he no longer taught high school students that were of a high intensity. He began to retire to the second tier, teaching high school students. Thus, he was not too busy.
When Yang Chen came looking for her, Teacher Tong was surprised, especially when she found out that Yang Chen was Lin Ruoxi's husband. Teacher Tong looked at Yang Chen with an astonished expression for a long time.
Even though she did not say it, Yang Chen could clearly feel that Teacher Tong was puzzled — with this man alone, could he be the husband that Lin Ruoxi had her eyes on!?
Evidently, even though seven to eight years had passed, in the teacher's heart, Lin Ruoxi's student's memories were difficult to erase.
Yang Chen had already been prepared. If you ran over and said, "I'm Lin Ruoxi's husband, I want to know something about her student days." Yang Chen had already been prepared, if you ran over to her, you would say, "I'm Lin Ruoxi's husband, I want to know something about her student days."
Therefore, under Teacher Tong's doubtful gaze, Yang Chen took out his marriage certificate with Lin Ruoxi.
It was hard to tell if this certificate was real or fake, but when Yang Chen told her about Lin Ruoxi's background and how Nanny Wang had introduced him, Teacher Tong basically believed him.
There was still some time before school was dismissed. Yang Chen followed Teacher Tong and wandered around the school, listening to the teacher talk about the time that had passed.
This was the first time Yang Chen spent so much time. Listening to a person's past, a full two hours had passed. Yang Chen was like a wanderer, seeing scenes that happened outside the school in the past. In the picture, there was a different Lin Ruoxi. It was a Lin Ruoxi that he had never seen before.
Yang Chen was reluctant to part with her, but it was almost time for Teacher Tong to get off work. He also had other things to do before he bid her farewell.
Before leaving, Yang Chen asked the old gardener, "Ruoxi has not come back to school for so many years, would the teacher feel sad?"
Teacher Tong gently smiled, "I have already taught thousands of students. If everyone came back to visit me, I would only see customers all day and not work. I know now that Ruoxi is the CEO of Yu Lei, compared to many students who have no news of her, I feel very satisfied. I should be surprised at her temper if she came back to see me. "
Yang Chen felt touched and a bit regretful for not having a student. Perhaps this teacher was a strict woman back then, but at this moment, talking about the students of the past, she was as affectionate as a mother.
With these old thoughts, Yang Chen chatted with the old security guard in the reception room for a while before he heard the school bell, so he said goodbye to the security guard.
The old security guard even warmly shook hands with Yang Chen, looking forward to Yang Chen's next visit. Yang Chen smiled wryly in his heart, this old bro really has nothing else to do.
When they arrived at the parking spot, Yang Chen took out his keys and was about to get on the car to go home. However, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a familiar figure.
He saw a beautiful figure wearing a white dress and light-colored denim pants. She was riding a woman's bicycle with a basket as she slowly passed by the pedestrians on the side of the road.
With her black hair fluttering in the wind, she had a pleasant smile on her face. It had been a long time since she last saw Zhao Hongyan!?
"Hongyan?"
Yang Chen shouted and felt pleasantly surprised. It was as though he was a good friend that hadn't seen him in many years. It was hard to hide the joy in his voice.
Zhao Hongyan, who was riding her bicycle, heard the voice and hurriedly stopped her bicycle. She turned around and was stunned. She opened her mouth and then smiled sweetly, "Yang Chen, why are you here?"
Yang Chen walked forward and Zhao Hongyan got off her bike. The two of them had known each other for almost a year, and they had a good relationship in the company. Not to mention the intimate contacts that seemed to be real or fake. The matter of helping Zhao Hongyan escape from that perverted family had also caused the two of them to have a closer relationship.
It was also because of those things that they had met again, that both of them felt that they could not explain themselves clearly.
Yang Chen looked at the basket of Zhao Hongyan's bicycle. It was full of vegetables and meat. He asked, "You went to buy vegetables?"
"Yeah." Zhao Hongyan smiled and nodded, "You probably don't know yet, but my home is right around here. As for you, why did you come out of Yu Lei High?"
Then, Zhao Hongyan suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh right, that day in Director Lin's office, you mentioned my family. Don't tell me that you accompanied Director Lin back to his alma mater?"
That day, Lin Ruoxi invited Zhao Hongyan into her office to help her pay for her father's medical expenses. The condition was that she had to work for the company for a full ten years and offset half of her salary. Yang Chen clearly remembered that this wasn't too long ago.
Now that Zhao Hongyan mentioned it, Yang Chen remembered his question from before, "I do have something to do, so I came by myself. On the other hand, didn't you just sign a ten-year contract with the company? Why did you suddenly come home? Is there something wrong with uncle's condition? "
Zhao Hongyan shook her head, "No, my dad had kidney disease before, and with the medical fees that Director Lin lent us, he has pretty much recovered. Now, he can also operate normally, but dad is not as healthy as before and needs someone to take care of him. Besides, we have a rice ball store that can be opened for business as usual with Dad around. When I went home to help, I earned more money than when I was at the company. It was also easier for me to repay the debts I owed the company. I've already reported this to Sister Mingyu and Director Lin. They agreed to what I did. "
Hearing Zhao Hongyan's words, Yang Chen also felt relieved. Although the medical fees were over a million, money could always be earned. It's good as long as the person is fine.
However, he didn't know what to say to Zhao Hongyan next. It had been a long time since the two of them had last met. They suddenly met alone, and as soon as they finished talking about their relationship, they felt a little awkward.
Zhao Hongyan was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Since you're here, I'll take you to my store. Our glutinous rice ball is an ancestral recipe, and it tastes really good."
Yang Chen was elated. That's right, how did he forget about Lin Ruoxi liking glutinous rice balls? Furthermore, she had previously said that she really liked the pills from Zhao Hongyan's family. She would definitely bring some back with her this time. There would definitely be some results!
Therefore, Yang Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He asked Zhao Hongyan to lead the way while he drove the car and slowly followed them to her pill shop.
The decorations of Zhao Hongyan's food shop were simple and unadorned, with the words "Zhao Family Glutinous Rice Ball" written on it. Next to them were some stories about the history of this old food shop, and although these new decorations weren't too eye-catching, there were still quite a few customers lined up outside the door, making the business surprisingly good!
"You still have to queue up to buy glutinous rice balls?" It was Yang Chen's first time seeing such a situation. He went to the place where he bought Lin Ruoxi's pills, but he didn't see such a scene.
Zhao Hongyan said proudly, "The children are not out of school now. After school, they can always line up on the other side of the road. Our family always has insufficient materials to use in the end."
Yang Chen was secretly speechless. No wonder Lin Ruoxi couldn't forget about him. It seemed that he really had a certain level of skill.
Zhao Hongyan went straight to the store and greeted her busy father and brother, saying that they needed to entertain a friend. The old man and the young man politely smiled at Yang Chen, but unfortunately, they didn't have the time to care about Yang Chen. The business was messy, so they could only invite Yang Chen to go to the back for a cup of tea.
Yang Chen followed Zhao Hongyan to the back of the store. The family lived in a two-story living room. After Zhao Hongyan made a pot of tea for Yang Chen, she brought a small plate of delicately made pills and put it on the tea table.
"Try these. They are the most classic pills in our family. If you like them, bring some back later. Especially remember to bring some to Director Lin." Zhao Hongyan seemed to be in a good mood as she enthusiastically recommended it.
Yang Chen looked at the different white, yellow and green glutinous rice balls in front of him. Before he even ate them, he could already smell the natural fragrance spreading in all directions. He immediately began to taste them in large mouthfuls.
As he ate, the glutinous rice flavor dispersed in all directions, but it did not stick to his teeth. The filling of the bean curd and the soybeans were also sweet and not greasy.
Yang Chen was once again sure that his sister was definitely a "glutton"! This glutinous rice ball, he liked it the moment he ate it!
"How is it?" Zhao Hongyan asked in anticipation.
After Yang Chen finished eating all the pills, he started chewing while giving a thumbs up, "Indeed, it's not bad. I believe that the business outside is really hellfire, and not an extras hired by your family."
"F * ck you, how can you praise others like that!?" Zhao Hongyan snorted and laughed, "Since you like it, bring more to bring back later. Although the materials are insufficient, you should keep them for your friends, no?"
Yang Chen licked his lips and showed a fawning smile as he said, "Hongyan, let me ask you something."
"Go ahead."
"Can you customize your pills?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Hongyan was puzzled.
Yang Chen rubbed the back of his head and said, "I want your dad and your brother to make some special glutinous rice balls for me." "Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just want to make some small changes on your glutinous rice ball."
Zhao Hongyan was puzzled, but she still nodded. "That's not difficult. It's just a few floral pills. My dad's skills are definitely not a problem, but why do you have to play tricks to eat those pills?"
"Sigh …" Yang Chen sighed and didn't hide it anymore. Although Zhao Hongyan wasn't his woman, she was still considered a close female friend. He said, "I want to get some pills to atone for my sins with my wife. Of course it's special."
Zhao Hongyan frowned. Although she knew that Yang Chen had a wife, she only knew this much. When she thought about it, a trace of shock flashed across her eyes. She asked hesitantly, "Your wife, don't you think you wouldn't say that your wife is …"
"So you didn't know?" Yang Chen thought about it carefully, and Zhao Hongyan didn't know that he and Lin Ruoxi were husband and wife. In the whole company, only Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu knew about it, so she said, "You're right. In fact, Ruoxi and I were married long time ago, but it was not made public."
Zhao Hongyan was stunned for a moment before she rolled her eyes at Yang Chen with a strange expression. Many things that she did not understand in the past were logical.
"Luckily, I didn't let Director Lin down …" Zhao Hongyan muttered subconsciously.
Yang Chen listened carefully and asked with a smile: "What are you 'fortunately' talking about? How can I be sorry? "
Zhao Hongyan blushed, gritted her teeth and glared at Yang Chen. Previously, she said that Yang Chen didn't have any feelings of being a man or a woman, and that was a lie. Now that she thought about it, if she really had a relationship with Yang Chen, wouldn't she be ungrateful to her benefactor, Lin Ruoxi?
"Since you've already married a good woman like Director Lin, you should be satisfied. Back in the days at the company, you still hung out with us women. How hateful!" Zhao Hongyan said angrily, but her heart was a little sour.
If he had known earlier that this man was unusual, he would have been very curious about what kind of woman he would marry. If he had known it was Lin Ruoxi, he probably wouldn't have even had a shred of hope in the past.
Yang Chen was only trying to ease the awkwardness between the two of them. When he first came into contact with Zhao Hongyan, he was still engaged to Lin Ruoxi's marriage, so it became a pleasure to get close to a beauty.
He had already touched and kissed Zhao Hongyan, but in reality, something should have happened a long time ago. It was only after he went to Yu Lei Entertainment and Zhao Hongyan had resigned and left that she became like this.
Yang Chen didn't dare to say that he didn't have any feelings for Zhao Hongyan, but he definitely wouldn't fall in love with her. Plus, his emotions were all messed up, so it was better to keep a safe distance.
Since the shop was busy at the moment, Yang Chen could only wait until the peak of the season to customize some of the pills.
In this way, it would not end until dinner time. Zhao Hongyan would leave Yang Chen to eat at home, and Yang Chen agreed straightforwardly without any hesitation. He also called home and told Nanny Wang that he was visiting an old friend and wouldn't go home to eat.
After more than an hour, when the student tide had left, Zhao Hongyan's father, Elder Zhao, finally had the time to make some special pills for Yang Chen.
When Yang Chen said his request, Elder Zhao clearly didn't know how to react. He just stood there, thinking that he had misheard.
On the other hand, Zhao Hongyan, who did not seem like a lady at all, was laughing merrily, seemingly thinking that Yang Chen's idea was too weird.
Yang Chen was serious. He held Elder Zhao's wrinkled hands tightly and said sincerely: "Uncle Zhao, you have to save this junior's life. I will depend on you for my family's future happiness!"
Although these words sounded strange, Elder Zhao still agreed.
When Elder Zhao started to make the pills, Yang Chen found that his phone was ringing. He took it out and saw that it was Qiangwei.
Remembering that he had asked Qiangwei to look after Zhen Xiu and check Jiao Yanyan's background, he hurriedly picked up the phone.
