Chapter 8 Happiness Came Too Suddenly

  As they walked to the entrance of a fast hotel, Yang Mu and Dong Yu Rou both stopped at the same time without saying a word. They looked at each other, neither understanding why the other had also come to a halt.

  Take another look at the advertisement in front of the fast hotel, Dong Yurou's face has already had some blush, and Yangmu also doesn't want to deliberately look.

  "Sorry, I have something to attend to, can you wait for me here for a moment?"

  Yangmu was already drunk, she wanted to go in, what did she want to do inside? What could be done here? Was it really going to be said by Jinyang, thinking of this Yangmu nodded foolishly.

  Dong Yunrou didn't care what Yang Mu was thinking now, and blushed as she walked in. It was clear that the front desk was very familiar with her and treated her with great courtesy.

  Soon she saw her walking out from inside, holding a paper of A4 size in her hand. Due to the dim light at night, Yang Mu couldn't see what was written on it even with his eyes slanted.

  "Is your name Yang Mu?"

  "Right."

  "Are you from Langzhong?"

  "Right... how did you know?"

  Dong Yun Ruo handed the paper in her hand to Yang Mu. After careful examination, she found that all her personal information was on it.

  It suddenly dawned on Yang Mu that it was this quick hotel where he had taken her to open a room that night.

  "You already know?"

  Yang Mu asked timidly, mainly because she was afraid that she would ask him for money, because from that night until now he had not earned a single cent.

  "I've always thought your name seemed familiar, and now that I'm here, I remember the piece of paper I saw on the ground that morning with a name just like yours."

  "What else did you remember?"

  Yang Mu was expecting a response from Dong Yunrou, but he had just been thinking about those unrealistic things and now had to face his own personality flaws. This sudden change came too quickly.

  "I'm gone, I've always wanted to see what kind of person is so stupid, taking my money and leaving their name behind."

  "What's with taking your money? It's clearly written on the note that I'm just borrowing temporarily."

  "How come you've never mentioned this for so long?"

  Dong Yun Ruo smiled and asked Yang Mu. Seeing Yang Mu's expression like a child who did something wrong, she found it very amusing.

  "But I don't have money yet."

  "Alright, I didn't ask you to pay me back now either."

  Yang Mu's face lit up with joy upon hearing her words, completely forgetting the gap between their identities, and he even squatted down to offer to carry her back.

  It wasn't until after waiting for a long time without seeing anyone come up that I finally realized, actually I was too excited and treated her as a good buddy just like Jiajia.

  Embarrassed, he stood up and smiled at her. Dong Yu Rong looked at Yang Mu's somewhat playful expression and said:

  "Is this how you've always coaxed girls?"

  "What?"

  "Wasn't it easy for you to carry that girl back home last night?"

  Yang Mu was so unjustly and wrongly accused, how could she look at herself as a good youth in this society?

  "It's not what you think, the girl last night was Jiajia, that curly-haired girl you saw in the hospital."

  "Ah, I misunderstood you then. You two are boyfriend and girlfriend, that's quite normal."

  It's getting darker and darker, Yang Mu chose to be silent. He walked quietly all the way, until he came to a small stall by the road, where an old man with a hunched back was selling Sichuan cold noodles.

  The taste of hometown followed his hawking voice and entered his heart, and he didn't know how his parents were doing at home, whether his mother's leg pain was severe or not.

  "Grandpa, give me two portions of liangfen, extra spicy."

  "Alright, young man, just wait a moment, it'll be fine soon."

  Watching the old man skillfully cutting the liangpi, I roughly thought about what I had done in the past year or so since graduation, and found that except for getting older, there was no progress.

  Dong Yunrou was bored and kicking at the floor tiles with her foot when Yang Mu handed her a bowl of liangfen that an old man had passed to him, saying:

  "Come on, boss, I'll treat you to a delicious meal tonight."

  Dong Yurou, wearing high heels, walked slowly, and with each step, Yangmu could hear the crisp sound echoing in the not-so-clean air.

  It's been a long time since I returned to that old-fashioned neighborhood, although I strongly recommended how delicious the liangfen was, Dong Yurou still refused to eat it. In the end, Yangmu had no choice but to give up, after all, this kind of roadside stall food might be something she would never eat in her lifetime because it's not hygienic.

  The next morning, Yang Mu arrived at the construction site and was called into the project manager's office. This was the first time Yang Mu had seen this fat-headed and big-eared guy.

  He has no good impression of Yang Mu, first suppressing workers' wages and not paying them, and later when a mass incident occurred, he shrank away without coming out, it's unknown how this person became the manager here.

  However, this guy was very polite to Yang Mu, and he personally made a cup of tea for Yang Mu, then handed it over with a thick smile.

  Yang Mu was so startled that he didn't dare to take the cup for half a day, watching him hold it in his hand for a long time before finally taking it over with a timid expression.

  "Xiao Yang, your performance was great yesterday."

  Yang Mu has been in the workplace for two or three years, and he still heard this sentence, which was what he did yesterday that didn't satisfy him.

  "I'm also thinking about the construction site, if things get out of hand, it won't be good for you either."

  "It's good for young people to have such ideas, but in the future, they should adopt better methods, such as reporting to their superiors first."

  "It was really too sudden, so I neglected it, and I will definitely pay attention next time."

  If I had told him yesterday, who knows what would have happened. Besides, I'm just a manual laborer and our relationship won't be close in the future. Listening to his tone, it's unlikely that he'll give me an easy time in the future.

  "That's good, that's good. Given your excellent performance, after everyone's discussion, it was decided to hire you as the safety general consultant of the construction site, what do you think?"

  Happiness came too suddenly, when Yang Mu first showed his graduation certificate, degree certificate and qualification certificate to the construction unit, no one gave himself a chance. Today, he actually took the initiative to find himself, this change made Yang Mu couldn't believe it was true.

  "If you can't make up your mind, then go back and think about it some more. Anyway, I'll keep this position open for you."

  The whole day was filled with question marks, and in the evening, I returned home with a head full of doubts, only to surprisingly find that Dong Yurou was here again.

  "How did you come again?"

  "This is my home, how did it become 'I'm back again'?"

  "I mean you didn't say you rarely stay here, but you stayed yesterday and came again today, this frequency is a bit high."

  "Don't want to go back, it's comfortable living here."

  From the moment she decided to turn against her uncle, Dong Yurou had already made up her mind not to return to that cold and icy home again. At least here, there were some memories, some sweet memories.

  "By the way, I just happen to have something to ask you."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Is it you who arranged for me to be the safety consultant on this construction site?"

  "What is a security consultant?"

  Looking at Dong Yurou's appearance, Yang Mu thought that maybe he was thinking too much. How could a high and mighty chairman arrange work for this small role?

  Yang Mu carefully told her everything again. After listening, Dong Yu Rong only had one sentence "I don't know", it seems that this matter really has nothing to do with her.

  Just when he was at his wit's end, Yang Mu received a call from Wang Jingyi. Her urgent voice made him only hear that the bar had been checked and she asked him to hurry over and take a look.

  Almost at the same moment Yang Mu had already gone out of the door and was rushing downstairs quickly.

  "Here's the car key, drive slowly."

  Dong Yunrou shouted at Yang Mu in front of the window to throw down the car key, and it had been a month since she knew Yang Mu. It was the first time she saw Yang Mu with such a serious expression. The only thing Dong Yunrou could do was to tell him to drive slowly on the road.
