That evening, Ren Yangyang called Qin Yu again. However, as agreed beforehand, Ren Yangyang first sent a message to Qin Yu, and then Qin Yu would call back. After all, international long-distance calls are expensive, which is a burden for working-class people like Ren Yangyang, but it is nothing to Qin Yu, who has long achieved financial freedom.
"Yangyang!"
As soon as the call connected, Ren Yangyang couldn't wait to tell her best friend the news: "Holy crap, he actually agreed!" Her tone was tinged with a hint of pride.
Qin Yu smiled slightly, showing no surprise at the news. In her opinion, it was perfectly normal for Huang Xiaochuan to agree to attend the class reunion; among all the classmates, no one knew him better than her.
Without a broad-minded attitude, Huang Xiaochuan wouldn't have achieved what he has today. Qin Yu has always been confident in her judgment of people.
"Say something!" Ren Yangyang got impatient when her best friend didn't say anything for a long time.
"You've done a great job, okay? I'll have all the classmates thank you properly later," Qin Yu joked with her best friend.
Ren Yangyang readily agreed: "That's a must."
With the important matter settled, it's time to gossip a bit.
"Did you know? Huang Xiaochuan's sister-in-law, Yu Min, is now the principal of our school." Ren Yangyang chirped about her principal behind her back.
Qin Yu didn't take the matter of Huang Xiaochuan's sister-in-law, Yu Min, becoming the principal of Qingjiang High School seriously. A position like that requires considerable ability and connections; Yu Min's appointment suggests she has some ability, but her success is largely due to her brother-in-law, Huang Xiaochuan. Qingjiang is proud to have a super-rich tycoon and economist like Huang Xiaochuan, who hails from Qingjiang, especially considering his significant contributions to the development of his hometown.
The Times Super Shopping Center provides a high-quality shopping environment and goods, as well as a large number of jobs. In addition, some high-tech companies have also invested and settled in Qingjiang because of Huang Xiaochuan, providing a lot of jobs and tax revenue for Qingjiang and boosting the overall economy of Qingjiang. Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan has also donated a lot of money to the education and sports undertakings in Qingjiang, among which Qinggao is one of the beneficiaries.
So Qingjiang arranged for Huang Xiaochuan's sister-in-law to sit in the position of Qinggao Principal in order to thank him for his contributions to Qingjiang. Otherwise, what else could he give Huang Xiaochuan?
Fame? Huang Xiaochuan has no shortage of it. Money? No one in all of China is richer than him.
Moreover, almost the entire family had left Qingjiang and settled in Shanghai, leaving only his sister-in-law in Qingjiang. If they didn't promote her, who else could they promote? This is obvious to anyone with eyes to see; it was all to show goodwill.
"Really! Then she must be quite capable. What did she do before?" Qin Yu decided to play along with her best friend's gossip.
It seems Ren Yangyang has done her homework: "She used to be a section chief in the bureau. Then, because the former principal was imprisoned for infrastructure issues, no one came to take over for more than half a year. Then she came. Judging from this situation, this woman will be promoted in the future."
While listening to the phone call, Qin Yu made herself a cup of hot cocoa. Switzerland is indeed a nice place, but it's quite cold, so many locals like to have a cup of cocoa.
"Does she know that you and Huang Xiaochuan were high school classmates?" Qin Yu asked her best friend casually while sipping her cocoa and admiring the view of the Alps in the distance.
Ren Yangyang thought about it carefully: "I guess they probably don't know. Huang Xiaochuan's wife doesn't know me, so Yu Min naturally wouldn't know about this relationship either."
Ren Yangyang's words made Qin Yu realize something: "You saw Yu Xiang?"
Ren Yangyang slapped her mouth in annoyance, realizing she had let something slip. Her best friend was great in every way, except that she was too smart. If she weren't a little less smart, she might be married and have children by now.
Having come this far, she had no choice but to tell the truth: "Hey, on New Year's Day, I went to school to pick up some textbooks and happened to see them. At first, I wasn't sure, but after going downstairs, I ran into them face to face and that's when I confirmed it. Plus, with those two sisters' names, I guessed it out." She concealed the fact that she had approached the two sisters on her own initiative.
Upon learning the reason, Qin Yu's reaction became indifferent: "I see!"
The ospreys cry on the riverbank, and handsome young men and beautiful young women turn towards them.
When we are young, everyone yearns for beautiful love. However, life is never perfect. There will always be regrets of one kind or another. Perhaps that is life!
The intelligent Qin Yu had fought her way through the brutal financial market and had a deep understanding of the greed and ugliness of human nature. It was precisely because of this that she chose to retire at the height of her career. Her body couldn't take it anymore, but more importantly, her psychological endurance had reached its limit.

So she has long since let go of many things from the past. Since life is not perfect, then enjoy every day to the fullest!
For her, Huang Xiaochuan was truly a thing of the past, present, and future. He was just a classmate and an acquaintance, and she would never have any further thoughts about him.
"Hey? Why are you acting like this?" Ren Yangyang was a little dissatisfied because she didn't get the response she wanted.
"So what kind of attitude do you want? Do I have to wow?" Qin Yu joked with her best friend.
"Haha, that's true!" Ren Yangyang also realized that what she had just said was somewhat inappropriate.
She immediately changed the subject: "If you don't have anything else to do, come back soon! Stay at my place, and we sisters can have a good chat."
Qin Yu immediately rejected the suggestion and came up with another idea: "Stay at your house? Forget it, it will force your man to be homeless and I will have to bear a bad reputation. Why don't you come to my house instead!" She knew Ren Yangyang's housing situation. Her own family only had a two-bedroom, two-living room house. Although her parents' house was a bit bigger, all three rooms were clearly arranged and there were no spare rooms.
Qin Yu bought a house in Qingjiang. It wasn't too big or too small. It was on the top floor of a five-story apartment building with an elevator. It had three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two large open-air terraces in the front and back. However, after the renovation, she hadn't lived there much. The key was always in Ren Yangyang's hands. Every now and then, Ren Yangyang would help open a window to ventilate the house and would also help arrange for cleaning services to be provided regularly.
"That works too. It would be even better if I stayed at your place. I'll go over early and turn on the heating so you can feel the warmth of home as soon as you come back and won't want to leave."
Hearing this, Qin Yu felt a warmth in her heart. People who wander far from home long for someone to care about them.
