Chapter 634: Impression of Lu Cheng
Yang Dong, who has just returned to the country, plans to go home first to visit his parents and didn't ask Lu Cheng to see him off; it's been many years since he came back, and he also wants to wander around and see the changes in Capital City.
"Alright, Brother Yang Dong, I'll first take Mr. Marcus to the Factory Area for a tour, then arrange for him to stay at the Guest Hotel; the accommodation fee will be covered by the Factory Area."
Yang Dong is very satisfied with this arrangement.
He had previously hesitated about bringing Marcus back to the country, after all, Mr. Marcus was born into a noble and illustrious family.
But to facilitate the cooperation and not disappoint his younger sister, Yang Dong repeatedly approached Marcus and persuaded him to come.
As long as he is willing to come, the cooperation is essentially a success.
Yang Dong's great effort stems from helplessness; after all, his sister used the word "please" in her letter.
To this day, he still remembers that sentence: "Dear brother, I beg you, you must help Lu Cheng find a distributor; I don't want to disappoint him."
From that line, he can feel how much his sister loves Lu Cheng, since the pampered younger sister has never asked anyone for anything before.
And for the first time, she begged her brother for Lu Cheng.
Yang Dong feels half disappointed and half happy; the disappointment comes from seeing the little princess he has protected all his life grow up and be easily taken by another man, which inevitably leaves him with helplessness and reluctance as an older brother.
But seeing his sister's happy demeanor, eyes full of Lu Cheng, he sincerely feels joy from the bottom of his heart that his sister has found happiness.
"Then it's up to you, Lu Cheng."
Yang Dong proactively extends his hand, and Lu Cheng quickly grasps it: "You are too kind, Brother Yang Dong; you have done me a great favor this time. In the next couple of days, when I find time, I will definitely visit you in person."
Yang Yin, at this moment, puts an arm around her brother's shoulder, deliberately clearing her throat to tease.
"Yo, that's so polite. Look at you being all proper now, even visiting me! Why don't you say you're visiting me? I'm the real hero, okay?"
Lu Cheng's hard‑won respectable image is mercilessly shattered by Yang Yin.
He just thought of rubbing her head as usual, but then remembered his brother was right there, making such an intimate gesture inappropriate.
The main reason is that he is now dating Yang Yin and hasn't disclosed it to his family.
"Fine, you're the biggest hero; I'll visit you alone another day."
Yang Yin smiles, waving one hand: "Then I'll be waiting for you. Bye!"
Lu Cheng immediately gets Marcus into the vehicle and heads toward the Factory Area; the drive is not fast, and Marcus says he wants to take the opportunity to see Capital City.
Lu Cheng offers him an extended stay and will arrange a local guide later; Capital City has many places worth visiting, so since he's here, he should tour around more.
Marcus readily agrees.
When the jeep drives away, noticing his sister still staring, Yang Dong laughs and says,
"How about you go with them? After all, my brother isn't that important to me; losing him wouldn't matter."
Hearing his brother's teasing, Yang Yin snaps back, swinging her brother's arm as if being coquettish.
"What? My brother is, of course, the most, most, most important person in my heart; how could I possibly abandon you?"
Yang Dong, doubtful, says, "Is that really what you feel? I get the sense that someone else is far more important to you than your brother."
"Oh, that's not true; brother is the most important, I swear, really…"
Seeing his sister pouting and pretending to be serious, Yang Dong also becomes serious.
"I know you love Lu Cheng a lot; honestly, my brother's first impression of him was also quite good…"
"Really?" One can see Yang Yin is eager for her brother's approval.
Yang Dong nods: "At least he's mature in his actions and speech, and he's good‑looking, truly worthy of my sister."
Yang Yin's eyes curve into crescents: "Oh, don't just look at his appearance. I like him not because he's handsome, but because he attracts me.
You don't know, he's a very ambitious person and especially capable; he's now a Deputy Team Leader, at the Deputy Division Rank."
"Deputy Division Rank?" Yang Dong is shocked inside, looking at Lu Cheng who isn't that old, wondering how he could attain that rank.
"Does his family hold official positions?"
Yang Dong thinks that's the only possibility, since he knows the domestic social network, but his sister shakes her head.
"No, his parents are ordinary workers; Lu Cheng reached the Deputy Division Rank purely by his own ability and even earned military merit before."
Yang Dong nods again: "So he truly is capable; no wonder he has my sister completely infatuated."
Yang Yin coos again: "Oh brother, stop making fun of me; we like each other mutually."
Yang Dong laughs, patting his sister's hand: "Alright, alright, you found your own happiness, so I'm of course glad. Do our parents know you two are dating?"
Yang Yin shakes her head: "Hmm? Not yet, but our parents can sense it."
Yang Dong disagrees with that view; he cherishes his sister and knows she is as pure as a blank sheet, whereas Lu Cheng clearly understands social customs and is socially adept.
Such a person makes a good friend, offering much assistance, but likewise, if he tries to deceive a young girl, it would be far too easy.
After all, they've only just met; Yang Dong doesn't know much about Lu Cheng and fears his sister might be deceived.
"You should tell your parents; keeping it from them is wrong. Since Lu Cheng is sincere, both sets of parents should be dealt with honestly.
Especially as a girl, you must choose carefully in marriage and listen more to your parents' advice; our parents are the ones who most want your happiness."
Yang Yin nods obediently, understanding her brother's meaning.
"I know, I didn't intend to hide it from our parents; I… I'm just embarrassed to say it."
Yang Dong pauses: "Ha, there's also something you're embarrassed to say."
"Look at you, teasing me again! When it comes to marriage, I'm just a girl, so of course I feel embarrassed."
Yang Dong helplessly shakes his head: "Alright, when I get a chance, I'll tell our parents. It's best to settle this matter."
"Mm‑mm, brother, let's go home; it's scorching outside, and our parents know you returned today and are waiting for you at home."
"Alright, homeward."
The words "go home" stir deep feelings in Yang Dong; as he walks, he gazes at Capital City's strange yet familiar streets, unable to help but
"It still feels like not much has changed."
Yang Yin walks beside him: "Hmm? Policies have changed a lot now, so things will gradually shift. By the way, brother, after this return, are you still going back?"
"Of course I will go back. As for what you mentioned in the letter about me returning to develop, I'll consider it."
"This time I'm returning, I'm also preparing to go to the South for a survey, and the president will stay for a while."
"That's great, our parents will definitely be very happy, I'm also delighted, and it's perfect that you can learn more about Lu Cheng…"
Yang Dong smiled helplessly; little sister now truly can't utter a single sentence without this Lu Cheng.
