190: You have a great eye for people!

"Secretary Yang, you're here."

Zhang Yu saw the person standing by the car; it was indeed the secretary from his first company.

Yang Xiaomi.

"General Manager Zhang, hurry and get in the car. It will be even harder to get out once the crowd gets bigger later."

Secretary Yang said, stepping forward to take their luggage.

She put it in the back of the car.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a bit gratified.

This secretary really knew how to handle things well.

Regardless of how she knew he was coming back, just based on this sharpness, she deserved a promotion and a raise.

"General Manager Zhang, should we go back to the company first, or…?"

Secretary Yang asked.

"Let's head straight home. I want to get some sleep."

Zhang Yu said.

"Alright!"

Secretary Yang instructed the driver, "Back to Binjiang Mansion."

The business vehicle drove toward their home.

Pan Yuyao took out her phone, ready to make a call.

"Hey, Xiao Ba, guess where I am? We're about to come back. Aren't you happy?"

"Huh?"

At this moment, Di Xiaoba at home was following a tutorial from a book, doing some health exercises.

Hearing Pan Yuyao's voice, she was a bit surprised.

"Really? You're back? Where are you?"

Her heart also filled with joy.

Although Sister Xiao and Yuyao had only been gone for two days, it felt like years.

Although Xiong Tingting stayed at home to handle logistics,

the relationship wasn't as close as the one she had with them, so she couldn't really share many secrets.

Now, knowing they were coming back, she was overjoyed.

"We're on the way home, should be there in about half an hour. Let me tell you, so much has happened on this trip…"

Pan Yuyao opened the floodgates, and there was no stopping her.

She couldn't wait to share everything that happened on the cruise ship with her best friend at home.

"Let's talk when you get back… By the way, who's coming back?"

Di Xiaoba couldn't help but ask.

"There's me, and Sister Xiao."

"Who else?"

Before Pan Yuyao could finish, Di Xiaoba asked again.

"And also, the Landlord, Zhang Yu."

Pan Yuyao said the last name.

Di Xiaoba heard the sound of the stone in her heart finally landing.

"Then I'll go cook now, you guys can eat right when you get back!"

"Great, then I want to order some dishes!" Pan Yuyao exclaimed excitedly.

"Sure, I know what you like to eat."

Di Xiaoba said, getting up to busy herself in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there were vegetables washed by Xiong Tingting and soup that was simmering.

Stir-frying a few more dishes, half an hour was enough.

She hung up the phone.

Pan Yuyao noticed.

Lu Hanxiao's eyes were fixed on her.

"What's wrong, Sister Xiao?"

She asked timidly.

"You were just on the phone with Xiao Ba? She went to cook?"

Lu Hanxiao asked.

"Yeah, she wants to throw us a welcome-back dinner."

Pan Yuyao didn't understand why.

"Sigh, how could you…"

Lu Hanxiao stopped mid-sentence, realizing something was wrong.

If she said it like that, it would definitely arouse Pan Yuyao's suspicion.

It wasn't that Xiao Ba couldn't cook; she wasn't some delicate flower.

But before they left, Xiao Ba hadn't been doing well.

If cooking triggered something, that would be troublesome.

So, she had to stop herself.

"What's wrong, Sister Xiao?"

"It's nothing, let's hurry back."

Lu Hanxiao said anxiously.

"Oh, drop me off at the Jiangcheng Police Station later."

Su Mei suddenly said.

It was on the way.

"You're not coming back with us?"

Lu Hanxiao was reluctant to part with her best friend.

She had talked with her best friend for half the night last night and still hadn't finished.

In the same bed, they had discussed all sorts of private topics.

Including one interrogation of Su Mei.

However, she hadn't received a clear answer from Su Mei at the time, as she had changed the subject by claiming she wanted to sleep.

"I have to go back to the unit to report. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Su Mei smiled.

Then she said: "Drop me off on the side up ahead; it's just a short walk."

"Safe travels."

The car door opened, and Zhang Yu waved at Su Mei.

Lu Hanxiao and Pan Yuyao did the same.

Su Mei got out of the car.

Then, she watched the business vehicle continue driving forward.

"This Zhang Yu."

Su Mei felt a bit jealous and couldn't help but stomp her foot.

"Couldn't you have said a few more words?"

Last night, her best friend had asked her, if she (the best friend) wasn't available,

would she be willing to step in as a substitute?

She couldn't believe her best friend had asked that question.

She had been both shocked and shy at the time.

She hadn't said anything.

Now that she thought about it.

Hmph, I'm not going to throw myself into that; I'm still a maiden.

"Su Mei!"

A voice suddenly rang out from behind her.

"Dad?"

Su Mei turned around and saw Su Guoqiang.

"When did you come out?"

"I've been standing here for a while, but you didn't notice me."

Su Guoqiang's expression was meaningful.

He also knew who was sitting in the car.

Unexpected.

After returning from a mission, his daughter had changed a bit.

Sigh, was this little girl of mine finally going to be taken away?

He had always had a headache over his daughter's marriage.

Now, discovering that Su Mei had someone she liked, the news left him with mixed feelings.

"You didn't even greet me when you came out."

Su Mei started to deflect the blame.

"Alright, I have something to ask you."

Su Guoqiang's expression became serious.

When the operation team leader reported to him, he already knew what happened with Su Mei on the ship.

"Dad, what's the matter, why so serious?"

Su Mei felt a bit guilty.

"Dad is asking you, do you like Zhang Yu?"

"Oh, Dad, we're at the unit, why are you asking this?"

Su Mei subconsciously looked around.

Her expression became a bit awkward.

Su Guoqiang looked at her reaction and understood.

"Since you like him, you need to be more proactive."

Su Guoqiang said.

"This guy Zhang Yu is very popular. If you act too late, there won't be anything left."

"But Dad, I don't even know if he likes me." Su Mei whispered.

She didn't know how her dad figured it out, but since he supported her,

Su Mei felt quite pleased.

"That's not important. If you like him, I don't object. But you need to get married and get the certificate as soon as possible. Once you have the certificate, you can lock him down completely."

"Dad?"

Su Mei was stunned.

Was her dad really this bold, talking about marriage right off the bat?

Even if she wanted to, it depended on whether Zhang Yu was willing.

And.

Her best friend already had Zhang Yu's baby.

How could she bring these things up?

The education she had received for years didn't allow her to do such a thing.

"Are you worried that you're stealing love from someone else?"

Su Guoqiang looked at his daughter.

"You weren't like this growing up; as long as it's something you like, it should be yours."

Su Mei couldn't help but give a thumbs up in her heart.

Dad, you have a good eye for people!
