Reborn, I choose to register my marriage with the diva.

Chapter 533 I'm Sweating

"No way!" Uncle immediately interrupted him, his tone firm yet gentle: "It's such an important day, it's You Rong's birthday banquet, I absolutely don't want to miss it. It's settled then, I'll hang up now, I have some urgent matters to attend to at the company, we'll contact each other again later."

Yu Huan smiled and quickly replied, "Okay, Uncle, I'll contact you again later."

As soon as he finished speaking, his uncle's warm laughter came through the receiver, followed by the busy tone of the line.

Yu Huan gently put down her phone, picked up the paper plate again, and continued to enjoy the cake at a leisurely pace, her mind involuntarily pondering the rest of the day's arrangements.

Just then, the bedroom door was slowly pushed open, and Lin Yourong walked out.

Her hair was slightly disheveled, and she walked slowly toward the restroom.

As she passed the coffee table, she paused slightly, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and asked Yu Huan sleepily, "Who were you talking to on the phone just now? It sounded like it was your uncle?"

Clearly, she had overheard Yu Huan's conversation on the phone.

I was only in one room away, so I couldn't hear very clearly and didn't catch the specific content.

“Yes, he came to Xingcheng today on business, so I invited him to lunch for his birthday.” Yu Huan explained, putting down her plastic fork and licking the remaining cream off her lips.

Lin Yourong understood the reason and softly replied, "Oh."

Looking at Yu Huan's exceptionally handsome face bathed in the morning sunlight, a smile couldn't help but appear in her eyes...

Time flies, and noon is fast approaching.

Lianhe Zaobao Building.

Sunlight streamed through the clear windows, illuminating the entire office.

Yu Huan leaned back lazily in her office chair and slowly took her phone away from her ear.

Just now, he received a call from Lao Lin. After a brief discussion on the phone, the father-in-law and son-in-law made an appointment to go to Lin Yourong's birthday banquet together.

Yu Huan sat up straight, raised her hand to hold the mouse, and checked her work email for a while.

Once he finished his work, he felt completely exhausted and slumped into his office chair.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, then held his phone up to his eyes, opened WeChat, found the contact 'Wang Xianjiao', edited a message and sent it.

"It's your sister-in-law's birthday today. She invited some relatives and friends to lunch. I'll be there in a bit, and I can give you a ride. You can meet some people from the studio first and get to know them."

Despite her family's lack of support, Wang Xianjiao resolutely resigned from her job at a public institution to work at a celebrity studio, a job that seemed inherently unstable.

Both morally and logically, he had to reciprocate and show some appreciation.

It was almost lunchtime, and Wang Xianjiao replied with two messages instantly:

"Brother Yu, really?"

'Although I really want to go, it's not really a good idea!!'

Yu Huan smiled slightly and glanced at the wall clock.

Seeing that it was already 11:55, he rapidly typed on the 9-key keyboard and then clicked send:

"Your sister-in-law and I are both very easygoing people, there's nothing wrong with it. We're just here to join in the fun and show our support. I have to go to the editor-in-chief's office in five minutes before I leave. See you at the square later, so hurry up."

Almost instantly, three speech bubbles popped up on the screen:

'Okay, okay!'

See you at the square!

"Thank you, Brother Yu, for showing me such a great world!"

Yu Huan smiled gently, turned to the side to pick up the jacket draped over the back of the chair, and stood up.

She quickly put on her clothes, stuffed her phone into her pocket, and turned to walk towards the door.

There were nearly thirty people in the workshop at the moment, and all sorts of small noises mingled together, making it particularly noisy.

Yu Huan walked hurriedly along the wall.

As she passed the operations team, Wang Xianjiao noticed him, immediately looked up, and gave him a giggle.

Yu Huan nodded slightly in response, then went down the stairs to the eleventh floor, stopping only in front of the editor-in-chief's office and gently knocking a few times.

Hearing a deep "Come in" from inside, he turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and went inside.

Old Lin is currently at his desk signing and making comments on paper documents.

Looking up, she saw that the person who came was her son-in-law. She raised her hand to push up her glasses, then lowered her head to put down the nib of her pen and continued writing.

With a smile on his face, he said, "I haven't heard the announcement yet, why did you come down?"

"I've finished everything I was doing, and it'll only be a few minutes before lunch break," Yu Huan replied casually as she walked to her desk.

I casually noticed a box of pear syrup candy next to the monitor and picked it up without thinking.

He opened the box, took one out, and popped it directly into his mouth.

In an instant, the sweet aroma, mixed with the coolness of mint, rushed into my nasal cavity.

Yu Huan subconsciously squinted and gasped.

Old Lin capped his pen, glanced at Yu Huan's expression, and couldn't help but chuckle as he said, "Did you come by electric scooter? I was in a meeting all morning and didn't get to the office until after 10 a.m. I didn't see your scooter in the parking lot."

"Dad, you don't know yet, I haven't even gotten a parking permit yet," Yu Huan said bluntly.

"Oh?" Old Lin tidied up the messy documents on the table. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You kid, you don't even have a parking permit. Do you not want to work at the newspaper?"

Yu Huan, with a pear syrup candy in her mouth, coughed lightly and quickly explained, "Mainly because there are parking spaces on the roadside, and I don't drive to work every day, so I thought getting a parking permit was too much trouble, so I didn't get one."

"What's the trouble? If you want to get a parking permit, it's a piece of cake, just a word." Old Lin said, taking off his glasses, picking up a cleaning cloth, and gently wiping them.

Just then, the strains of "Moonlight Sonata" playing on the loudspeaker drifted in through the door.

Lunch break time arrived as scheduled.

Upon hearing the commotion, Yu Huan quickly said, "Dad, we need to leave quickly, otherwise the elevator will be too crowded—I'll drive later."

Old Lin understood that he was changing the subject, so he didn't say anything more. He put on his glasses, nodded helplessly, and replied with an "Mm".

The father-in-law and son-in-law walked out of the editor-in-chief's office one after the other.

Yu Huan watched her father-in-law's retreating figure, and worried that someone might be overheard, so she deliberately lowered her voice and said:

"Dad, there's something I need to tell you. Rongrong's studio is just starting out and is really short of talent, especially in operations. I've talked to a girl in our operations team about getting her a job at Rongrong's studio. She's a big fan of Rongrong, and I'm planning to take her out to dinner this time so she can get to know Rongrong beforehand."

As he spoke, he kept walking and pressed all the up and down buttons on the four elevators.

After all, during peak hours, that's how it has to be. Whether the elevator is going up or down, you have to get on as soon as the door opens, unless it's overloaded.

Old Lin paused, listened to Yu Huan's words, thought for a moment, and then turned to ask, "Have you discussed this with You Rong and Xiao Ru?" "We've definitely discussed it carefully. Operations are indeed the studio's current weakness."

“I don’t care about your young people’s affairs,” Old Lin said, pausing before continuing, “but since you’ve gotten them to give up their jobs in public institutions, you must keep your promises. Don’t give anyone a handle to use against you or give them something to talk about.”

Yu Huan looked at Lao Lin and smiled slightly as he gazed into his father-in-law's wise eyes hidden behind his black-rimmed glasses. "Dad, don't worry," he said. "I'm just trying to help Rongrong and make sure her career is on the right track. I know what I'm doing."

The father-in-law and son-in-law were talking quietly.

Old Lin inadvertently caught a glimpse of several figures walking around the corner of the elevator lobby. He subconsciously took half a step closer to Yu Huan and lowered his voice even further: "You know the answer yourself. We can talk about this privately."

Yu Huan nodded without hesitation.

Old Lin glanced around at the electronic screen displaying the floor numbers, and just then, the elevator in front of him slowly opened with a "ding".

Before long, amidst the flattery of the crowd, the father-in-law and son-in-law took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.

Yu Huan followed closely behind his father-in-law, step by step.

As soon as Yu Huan stepped out of the gate, he saw Wang Xianjiao standing by the flower bed in the square, hands on her hips, panting heavily.

A smile appeared on his lips, and he quickened his pace to lead Old Lin down the steps, saying loudly, "Wang Xianjiao, did you climb the stairs down here?"

When Wang Xianjiao caught sight of Editor-in-Chief Lin following behind Brother Yu, she couldn't help but swallow hard.

How could she not know the company's boss?

She was completely baffled and felt inexplicably uneasy.

After forcing out two laughs, he quickly replied, "Brother Yu, I was afraid of waiting too long for the elevator—" Before he could finish speaking, he hurriedly greeted Old Lin, "Hello, Editor-in-Chief Lin!"

"Hello." Old Lin smiled and nodded.

Seeing Wang Xianjiao hurrying to come to meet her, Yu Huan quickly raised her hand to indicate, "Let's slow down, you can catch your breath first."

"Okay!" Wang Xianjiao hurriedly replied, immediately stopping in her tracks and obediently following behind the two big shots as they approached.

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

As Yu Huan walked, he gradually felt warm. He casually took off his coat and draped it over his arm.

The three remained silent throughout the journey.

Wang Xianjiao secretly glanced at Lao Lin's profile, feeling an intense dryness in her throat and a strange sense of tension creeping into her heart.

She thought to herself, "Is Editor-in-Chief Lin probably going to hitch a ride with Brother Yu to get things done?"

She clearly remembered that last summer, Brother Yu was commended by his unit for his act of bravery, and the person he saved was none other than Editor-in-Chief Lin, who was then the director.

Therefore, she was not surprised by the close relationship between the two.

However, as the BMW drew closer and closer with each step, Wang Xianjiao couldn't help but scratch her head, her mind racing.

She felt that she was the least senior among the three and couldn't drive. If she sat in the passenger seat with the two leaders in front and behind her, it would be very inconvenient to chat.

But the right side of the back row has always been the most prestigious seat...

Something just doesn't feel right.

Wang Xianjiao became more and more conflicted as she thought about it, and she felt her palms sweating.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, Yu Huan suddenly turned around and said to her with a smile, "Wang Xianjiao, you can sit in the back."

"Okay! I'll follow Brother Yu's arrangements!" Wang Xianjiao replied hastily, feeling much more relaxed.

When Yu Huan turned around, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

After the three of them got into the car, Yu Huan skillfully engaged the handbrake, gently pressed the accelerator, and the BMW drove away from the parking space.

Turning from the narrow side road onto the main road, I accelerated and smoothly merged into the not-too-congested traffic.

Yu Huan stared intently at the road, then suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "Dad, do you need me to go pick up Mom?"

"No need to answer, she should have arrived long ago, otherwise she would definitely have called me." Old Lin pondered for a moment, then asked with concern, "I heard from your uncle that you're planning to invite him, Luo Ruiyang, and that executive from Nanxu Group to dinner tonight?"

Yu Huan tapped the steering wheel rhythmically with her fingertips and replied, "Yes."

Old Lin's lips curled into a smile as he pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses revealing a hint of approval: "Making more reliable connections is definitely a good thing."

Just as Yu Huan nodded in agreement, Lao Lin immediately changed the subject: "But when dealing with people, especially at the dinner table, you can just listen to some polite words and let it go, but you can't loosen the bottom line you should stick to in the slightest."

Yu Huan replied earnestly, "Dad, I understand."

At this moment, Wang Xianjiao sat upright with her knees tightly together, leaning towards the car door, her hands neatly folded on her lap, her whole posture very restrained.

Hearing the conversation between the two leaders, especially the way Editor-in-Chief Lin was giving Yu Huan such earnest advice, her face was instantly filled with shock, her pupils shrank, and she involuntarily swallowed hard again.

and many more!

What's going on? What did Yu Huan call Editor-in-Chief Lin?

dad?

爸！

Wang Xianjiao then thought of Susu, who also had the surname Lin, just like Editor-in-Chief Lin.

In the blink of an eye, everything became clear, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun.

Could it be that after Brother Yu performed a heroic act last year, he met Editor-in-Chief Lin's famous daughter by chance, and the two then got married?

Secret marriage?

Wang Xianjiao suddenly remembered that the news of Su Su's secret marriage had been trending on social media, and it's possible that the two were already together back then.

However, if her speculation is correct, then the news about her having a baby is purely fake news, since the timing doesn't match up.

Susu has been very active in the public eye lately.

or……

Wang Xianjiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and imagined several romantic scenarios.

It wasn't until the BMW's engine suddenly stopped and Yu Huan, in the driver's seat on the left, said with a smile, "We've arrived," that she snapped out of her daze.

He quickly grabbed the car door handle and opened the door.

Fresh air quickly filled the carriage, dispelling the stale air. (End of Chapter)
