My Youth Began With Him

“Oh. I did it for my grandpa. It’s related to the army, so I can’t tell you.”

The others believed his excuse, knowing his grandpa’s background very well.

They filled their glasses with wine; Han Yueyao filled Su Yu’s glass in person.

“President Su, I’ll drink this glass of wine to express my appreciation to you for giving me such a rare opportunity; many fans got to know me because of the show.”

“Okay. I’ll drink with you.”

Without a fuss, Su Yu clinked his glass with Han Yueyao’s and they downed the alcohol.

The others clapped hands and cheered. Before the dishes came, they began to give toasts.

Seeing their high spirits, Su Yu took the opportunity to tell them the truth behind the dance show.

“Guys, I know you worked hard for this contest. Han Yueyao practiced her dances hard, but the others have been very busy, too, to help her. I knew you’d not get the first place. The organizer of the show told me if we wanted the first place, we must do a movie and three reality shows with them besides an investment of 20 million yuan. I have money. I can afford 200 million, not to mention 2 million. I refused them because the movies they produced in the past were garbage; the reality shows are mainly dating shows. Han Yueyao is a new girl in show business, and I don’t want her to end up in a mess. After I refused them, I knew we wouldn’t get first place. But in my heart, the second place you got is as good as the first place. Here, I’ll drink to you guys for your hard work.”

Han Yueyao had never known Su Yu could speak so well even on such an informal occasion.

His speech was smooth and spontaneous, achieving the effects he wanted perfectly.

Despite Su Yu’s casual manner when he said the words, the others gave him a thunderous applause in joy.

“Thank you, President Su. We love you.”

“President Su is grand. You’re our boss forever.”

Some employees began to flatter their boss in high spirits.

But Han Yueyao heard the key point, which was that Su Yu didn’t want her, a new performer with little experience in show business, to do dating shows.

She had heard people in the show business say that many female stars fall in love with male stars in the dating shows, but the male stars just dumped them after sleeping with them.

In short, these shows were heartless. But Su Yu didn’t want to use her to make money for his company, so he refused the organizer of the show, which was why the first place went to another pair.

Han Yueyao was touched by Su Yu’s thoughtfulness and felt proud of him for being such a responsible boss.

While Su Yu drank, Han Yueyao kept stealing glances at him with a racing heart.

She had promised herself that if Su Yu came back safe, she’d tell him she loved him.

Now that he was back, would she… truly tell him her feelings for him?

At this thought, she blushed.

“Wow… Miss Han, your face is red. Are you allergic to alcohol?” An didn’t understand women and thought Han Yueyao was allergic to alcohol.

“No, no. I’m always like this when I have wine. My mom says people like me are honest and loyal to friends. Haha.” Han Yueyao laughed.

“Honest? In other words, people like you can’t survive two episodes in a story like Empresses in the Palace,” Su Yu teased her.
