The Rebirth of Shazhu: Starting from Staying Away from Beasts

After hearing these explanations, Song's father and mother looked at each other, then nodded slowly, expressing their understanding and support.

Then, Song's mother asked with concern: "Zhu Zi, can you come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th?"

In fact, He Yuzhu has been thinking about this problem from the very beginning.

If he were to go on a business trip alone, according to normal itinerary, the round trip would take about seven or eight days.

Plus, considering that handling affairs may take two or three days, it should be more than enough to return before August 15th.

But this time the situation is different because he is going with Li Huaide.

If Li Huaide wanted to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days and I asked to return early, it would seem inappropriate.

Therefore, facing Song's mother's questioning, He Yuzhu was really unsure at the moment and could not give a definite answer.

“I will definitely try my best to come back as soon as possible, if I really can’t make it in time.

I will call the factory in advance and ask the factory staff to go to your home and inform you two of the situation so that you don't worry.

Even if we can make it back in time, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to notify relatives and friends at the last minute?”

He Yuzhu said seriously.

"Okay! This is the only thing we can do now!" Song's father nodded in response.

......

After a while, Father Song looked at the two people who had nothing to do for the time being and suggested:

"Zhu Zi, since we are free right now, let the mother and daughter have a good chat. How about you come and play chess with me?"

"No problem, uncle, but I am a complete lousy chess player. Please don't complain about my poor chess skills later."

He Yuzhu readily agreed, but still gave a warning first.

"Haha, how could that be? We are just playing around for fun." Father Song smiled and waved his hands.

Then, Song's father turned around and walked into the room, and soon took out a chess board that looked old and a little antique.

He carefully placed it on the old coffee table in the living room, and then called He Yuzhu to come and sit down.

He Yuzhu responded and walked to the coffee table and sat opposite Song's father.

At this time, Song's mother considerately made a cup of steaming hot fragrant tea for He Yuzhu and Song's father respectively, and gently placed it on the coffee table in front of them.

At the beginning, Song's father really thought that He Yuzhu's chess skills were just average, so he didn't pay too much attention during the game, and even underestimated his opponent.

However, as time passed, the game progressed, and the two players played more and more rounds, Song's father gradually realized that something was wrong.

He began to realize that he had completely underestimated the young man in front of him. After careful observation and thinking, he finally realized

——It turns out that this kid He Yuzhu had been deliberately letting the opponent win. Otherwise, with his true strength, he would have lost the game long ago.

I don’t know if it was because the weather in August was still a little hot or because he was anxious, but I saw beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down Song’s father’s forehead.

He Yuzhu felt embarrassed when he saw the scene in front of him, and thought to himself:

"Oh no! It looks like my father-in-law saw through my deliberate act of letting the opponent win."

This makes me seem a little too conceited and self-important...

You know, whether in his previous life or this life, he has played chess with many senior leaders. After so much training, his chess skills have become quite outstanding.

Especially for those big leaders, because of the experience accumulated in his previous life, he knows their chess strategies very well.

Because of this, when he faced the senior leaders before, he was able to let them off so naturally and smoothly.

But now he is using this method on his father-in-law, which is obviously an extremely inappropriate practice!

What a mistake! Thinking of this, He Yuzhu no longer dwelled on it, but quickly adjusted his state, played with all his strength, and quickly won the game.

Then, the two started a new game again. This time, Song's father was extremely alert and focused on the game.

I saw that before every move he made, he would think carefully for a long time, and often had to think about the next three or even more steps.

This took a lot of time and the speed was much slower than before.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu is calm and not impatient. He always patiently follows Song's father's pace and responds slowly step by step.

Time passed quietly in the chess game, and before we knew it, it was getting close to dusk.

At this time, Song's mother went into the kitchen to prepare dinner, while He Yuzhu and Song's father were still fighting hard in front of the chessboard.

Finally, after a fierce competition, the two finally reached a draw with difficulty.

During the meal, the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.

My father-in-law had a gloomy face and kept muttering to himself, obviously still immersed in the resentment of his previous defeat in the chess game.

He slammed the table and said loudly: "I was careless at that time... I didn't put my heart into it at all!"

As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he was deeply regretting his mistake.

However, despite this, the father-in-law still generously praised He Yuzhu's chess skills:

"Zhuzi is a really good chess player, he's quite skilled!"

Then he changed the subject and started to brag again: "Of course, if I get serious, it will be hard to find an opponent.

This was just a momentary oversight.”

These words made the mother and daughter beside them burst into laughter, and the whole room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

After finishing his meal, He Yuzhu stood up, said goodbye to the three people, and then rode his bicycle back to the courtyard alone.

As soon as you step into the central courtyard, your eyes will be attracted by the open door of the main house in the central courtyard.

He Daqing was seen sitting leisurely at the dining table, holding a small glass of wine in his hand. He took a sip from time to time, and at the same time picked up a few pieces of food with chopsticks and put them into his mouth.

That looked so pleasant.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu picked up a wine glass from the side and sat down.

Then he casually filled the glass with wine and took a sip just like his father.

After putting down the wine glass, he began to explain to He Daqing, but what he said was still somewhat ambiguous, and the specific time of return was still uncertain.

After all, if Li Huaide is unwilling to come back early, I will probably have to discuss this issue with Li Huaide.

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, He Daqing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the situation.
