Chapter 3081: Which courier company is he from?
"Maybe he really is a friend, or a distant relative."
"There's a possibility. Treating him to a meal is also reasonable."
"But the problem is, he's so handsome. Standing together, they seem quite well-matched. Could he be her husband?"
"That's unlikely. At Liang Lao Da's level, how could she marry a courier?"
"But you have to know, Liang Lao Da already has a child. Look at their behavior; they seem quite intimate. Normal people wouldn't act like that."
"If that's the case, this news is explosive."
"Liang Lao Da is truly our role model. Such an amazing person, yet she chose such an ordinary husband. We, mere mortals, are always picky and don't deserve it!"
"Who says it isn't so? Since Liang Lao Da chose an ordinary courier, we shouldn't be picky either. We should learn from her."
"Right, right, right. I'll go meet the match my mom arranged for me tomorrow."
At the same time, the two had already taken their seats in the side hall. Lin Yi said with a smile:
"Bringing me here, I've become the center of attention."
"Your clothes are a bit of a drag." Liang Ruoxu said with a proud tone:
"I'll go get your food. Wait here."
After tidying up her clothes, Liang Ruoxu got up to get Lin Yi's food.
A few minutes later, seeing Liang Ruoxu carrying two plates of food, one large and one small, back to the dining hall, the discussions became even more intense.
Even many men joined in the discussion.
"This confirms their relationship. Liang Lao Da personally went to get his food; they must be a couple."
"Though we shouldn't favor the rich over the poor, they should still be a good match. Just their looks matching might cause problems in the future," a male colleague said.
"Then we can only conclude that Liang Lao Da is also a face-obsessed person. After all, she's a woman and won't consider as much as men do."
"Now there's only one possibility. Ah, being handsome really has its advantages."
"Let's not discuss this anymore. Let's just eat our meals. Be careful; if Liang Lao Da hears, we'll be in trouble."
Through their actions, the people in the dining hall had already guessed their relationship.
But to Liang Ruoxu, these were trivial matters.
This carefree attitude was something no one else could match.
In the side hall, seeing Liang Ruoxu return with the food, Lin Yi prepared to take it from her.
But at that moment, his phone in his pocket rang.
He saw it was Lu Beichen calling.
"Old man."
After answering the call, Lin Yi greeted him.
"What have you been up to lately? No news at all."
"In a couple of years, the kids will be going to kindergarten, and it's expensive. I found a job delivering packages to earn some tuition."
"You're not just delivering packages, right? Did you set up a research institute?"
"Huh?"
Lu Beichen's words made Lin Yi nervous.
"You know about it?!"
"I heard. What are you up to now?"
Lin Yi remained silent for a few seconds but decided not to hide anything from Lu Beichen.
He could be completely trusted.
"This can't be explained over the phone. I'll come see you later."
"Are you in Yanjing?"
"Just arrived. I'm at Mi Li's workplace now," Lin Yi said.
"Wait for me there. I'll send someone to pick you up."
"Okay."
After a brief exchange, Lin Yi hung up the phone.
At the same time, Liang Ruoxu also brought the food and sat down next to Lin Yi.
"Who called? You didn't even come to get me."
"Old Lu. He has something to discuss with me. We need to meet up later."
"Is it urgent? Should you go now?"
"Priorities first. Let him wait. I don't have time to deal with him now."
"You're so talkative." Liang Ruoxu smiled, "Try this braised pork with pickled vegetables; it's really good."
"Okay."
"What did Old Lu say he wanted to talk about?"
"I set up a research institute before, and it seems Old Lu knows about it. We'll meet later, and I can gauge his thoughts."
Lin Yi put a piece of braised pork in his mouth and said while eating:
"If he backs me up, I'll have more confidence."
Liang Ruoxu knew a bit about the research institute.
Given Lin Yi's current status, setting up such a thing was indeed unusual.
But as he said, if someone supports him, it's not a big issue.
"I have two boxes of good tea in my office. Take them later," Liang Ruoxu said:
"Old Lu always complains to my grandfather that every time you visit, you only bring pure milk and apples, never more than 200 yuan."
"This old man really talks too much."
Liang Ruoxu gave Lin Yi a disapproving look.
"I think you're the one who talks too much. How could you bring Old Lu pure milk and apples? I don't know what you were thinking."
"The kids are going to school soon, and we have a son. There are many expenses, so we can't waste money," Lin Yi said seriously.
"If you really think that way, go to my dad's or mom's office. There are plenty of good things there, and they won't use them."
"But I'm afraid my mother-in-law will kick me out."
"Be careful. My mom wears high heels."
Lin Yi laughed, and Liang Ruoxu's eyes sparkled, like a couple.
After discussing work, they shifted the conversation to life and family.
Liang Ruoxu could always talk about the children's growth in detail and with a clear plan, managing them well and not hesitating to discipline them when necessary.
In this aspect, Ji Qingyan was a bit lacking. Even when the children were mischievous, she couldn't bring herself to hit them.
Since they were going to meet Lu Beichen later, Liang Ruoxu deliberately sped up her eating, finishing in less than 20 minutes.
"Let's go back to my office first. Wait for the person to come, then you can leave."
"Okay."
The two cleared their plates and left the dining hall, where other employees were also leaving.
But at that moment, Lin Yi's phone rang.
"Come down. I'm at the entrance."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Lin Yi said to Liang Ruoxu:
"I'll go down first. I'll come back to find you after we finish talking."
"Okay."
Standing in front of Lin Yi, Liang Ruoxu straightened his collar.
"Drive safely. Don't drive recklessly like an idiot."
"Don't worry, I know."
After a few more words in his ear, Liang Ruoxu let him leave.
Going down alone, Lin Yi became the focus of everyone.
Some busybodies watched Lin Yi from behind, whispering and discussing.
"Truly, a good face can change one's fate. Who would have thought a courier could be our leader's other half?"
"It sounds like a fantasy. If I were a bit more handsome, maybe I could also cross social classes and find a powerful girlfriend."
"There's no point in talking. We don't have the conditions."
"But I'm curious. Do you guess which courier company he's from?"
"He doesn't have any obvious markings. We'll know when we see the courier van."
"Damn, look at the car parked at the entrance. It's white with black letters."
"White with black letters isn't special. Look at the pass on it! I've never seen one in all my years of work."
