With that, Chen Ling stepped out the door with an air of arrogance, her high heels clicking, “Deng, deng, deng.”

The café owner stared at Chen Ling’s retreating back in disbelief.

So, there really are such shameless people in this world.

Just because they have a little money, they can trample on others’ dignity.

Just as the café owner was about to chase after her to demand accountability, the Waitress pulled him back.

“Just let it go, Boss. She paid the compensation anyway. I really need the money recently, so…”

The Waitress lowered her head in shame.

She had been under severe financial pressure lately.

Money or an apology.

She chose the money.

After hearing this, the café owner sighed heavily.

“Fine. As long as you can accept it. Here’s what—go home and rest. Come back to work tomorrow.”

Tears streaming down her face, the Waitress nodded, “Thank you, Boss.”

...

At this time, Shen Yan, who had already left long ago, was completely unaware of what had transpired in the café.

He was currently trying to figure out how to tell Youyou that Chen Ling was unwilling to see their child.

Just as he was racking his brain for a solution, a call came through to his cell phone.

“Old Shen, where are you right now? Hurry back!”

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s wrong? Why the rush?”

Chen Guangke replied, “We uploaded the promotional video online, and the response isn't bad! Come over and take a look!”

Shen Yan glanced at the time on his phone.

“Okay, send me the link first. I’ll head to the company now.”

Half an hour later.

He arrived downstairs at the company.

“Are you still worried about finding a job? Are you still worried about not being able to hire anyone? Are you still worried about recruitment software requiring membership fees?”

“With our software, you’ll never have to worry again. Just log into our software, and without paying any membership fees, you can recruit people.”

“Just log into our software, and without paying any membership fees, you can find a job!”

In the video, a very popular cartoon cat was repeatedly reciting the catchy advertising slogans.

“Old Shen! You’re finally here. How was it? Did you watch the link I sent you?”

Shen Yan nodded.

“I watched it. It’s quite catchy, but it only has a few hundred likes. Have you guys put any money into promotion?”

Chen Guangke proudly puffed out his chest.

“Not yet!”

“A few hundred likes in half an hour—that’s already a very good result!”

Shen Yan replied with appreciation, “It is indeed quite good. You guys should hurry up and buy traffic to push the popularity of this video up a bit more.”

Wu Ya stood up from her seat.

“No problem!”

Hearing the response, Shen Yan clapped his hands and said, “Everyone, work a little harder recently. Try to finalize the finishing touches on the software within these two days. The day after tomorrow is the software launch date. I don’t want any mistakes.”

The Employees collectively replied loudly, “No problem!”

Then, everyone went back to their work.

Back in the office.

Shen Yan placed his phone on the desk and started thinking about Chen Ling’s matter again.

How was he supposed to tell Youyou that Chen Ling didn't have time to see her?

If he told her directly, he feared Youyou would be unhappy.

But if he was too tactful, he feared Youyou would hold onto hope regarding Chen Ling.

After thinking for a long time.

He still couldn't come up with a good strategy.

“Forget it, I’ll ask Ah Hui…”

Muttering to himself, he sent a message to Liu Hui.

【Are you asleep? Are you free right now?】

Liu Hui replied almost instantly.

【Not yet, I’m rushing a report. What’s up?】

Shen Yan placed a call over.

“Do you have time right now? I need to ask you something.”

There was a time difference between the domestic and international locations.

For Liu Hui, it was ten in the morning.

“Of course, I do. Did something happen?”

Shen Yan told her about the situation involving Chen Ling and Youyou.

“Do you have any good suggestions?”

Liu Hui thought carefully and seriously, then replied, “To be honest, I don’t have any particularly good suggestions either, but if you absolutely insist on me giving advice, my suggestion is to tell Youyou the truth directly.”

“Even though Youyou is a child, children have the right to know the truth.”

“If you hide it from her, she will be even more heartbroken when she finds out the truth later.”

Shen Yan considered it for a moment and felt that what Liu Hui said was correct.

If he concealed the truth from Youyou, she would only be more hurt when she found out later.

“Okay, I will take your advice into consideration. Have you had breakfast yet?”

Liu Hui pouted coquettishly, “When would I have time for breakfast? I’ve been rushing this report since early this morning, I haven’t had any time at all…”

Shen Yan chuckled lightly, “Then shall I order takeout for you?”

“What do you want to eat?”

Liu Hui quickly refused.

“Absolutely do not order takeout. You have no idea how slow the delivery is here. If you order now, it’ll probably arrive in the afternoon. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.”

That’s what she said, but Shen Yan was still a little worried.

“Then you must remember to eat. You can’t skip breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”

Liu Hui was at a loss between laughter and tears.

“Don’t worry, I’m an adult. I know to go out and eat when I’m hungry.”

Shen Yan snorted twice, clearly not believing her.

After they flirted back and forth for a while, Shen Yan stopped disturbing Liu Hui so she could continue rushing her report.

After hanging up the phone, he took out his phone and called Auntie Fang.

At that moment, Auntie Fang was cooking for Youyou.

“Hello! Mr. Shen, are you calling to speak with Youyou?”

Shen Yan glanced at the time and replied, “No, I’m asking you to cook extra food tonight. I’m coming back to eat dinner with Youyou.”

Auntie Fang immediately agreed.

“Okay, okay! I’ll cook extra rice right now!”

After giving the instructions, Shen Yan hung up the phone.

He planned to go back and talk properly with Youyou.

At the very least, he needed to hear what Youyou’s thoughts were on this matter.

Time passed second by second.

Soon, Shen Yan finished all the work on his desk.

He walked out of his office and said to Chen Guangke and Wu Ya, who were still buried in their work, “If you have anything else come up, call me anytime.”

Chen Guangke didn't even lift his head, just waved his hand.

“Hurry up and go. We’ll call you if anything comes up.”

Shen Yan patted Chen Guangke’s shoulder, then said to Wu Ya, “When you guys are done, hurry home too. Make sure to rest.”

Wu Ya nodded slightly.

“Don’t worry, we know what we’re doing.”

Back at home.

Youyou, as usual, called out “Daddy” and rushed towards him.

“Was Youyou as good as yesterday today?”

Youyou nodded obediently.

“Daddy, when is Mommy coming to see me?”

Shen Yan’s face stiffened. He sat down on the sofa, placed Youyou on his lap, and replied.

“It’s like this, Daddy met Mommy today. Mommy told me she really wants to see Youyou too, but Mommy is really busy lately, so…”
