Chapter 389 Your son-in-law is too handsome!
Wang Han sat diagonally in the chair, casually draping his left arm over the back of the chair.
He turned his head slightly to look at his mother-in-law, who was leaning against the sofa, and said in a light tone, "Hard work always pays off. Fangjie, just wait and enjoy your good fortune!"
After saying that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a Nokia feature phone.
He lowered his head and focused on pressing the buttons, muttering softly, "I'll ask Sister He to bring up four cups of tea first."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan quickly said, "Uncle Wang, Rongrong and I won't drink tea. We're going to go out and play later."
Wang Han raised his head, chewing betel nut lightly, his cheeks slightly puffed out.
As he skillfully pressed the keys to make a call, he said with a smile, "Xiao Yu, don't be so polite with me!"
The fluorescent lights on the ceiling shone brightly, and sunlight streamed gently into the private room through the clean glass and wooden windows.
The specks of dust floating in the air are clearly visible.
The mother-in-law leaned back comfortably on the sofa and chimed in at the opportune moment: "Young people have their own plans, so we don't need to worry about them."
Wang Han held the phone to his ear, smiled, and nodded slightly in response, while speaking into the phone:
"Sister He, bring up four cups of tea..."
"We've arrived at the private room. I came ahead of time to talk to Sister Fang's son-in-law about something..."
"Okay, then you can pick out some good tea..."
After a brief conversation with the person on the other end of the phone, Wang Han put down his phone.
His gaze fell on Yu Huan again, and he said with a smile, "Anyway, it's still early, there's always time to have tea. Young people these days like beverages, but it's good to change things up once in a while and have some tea."
Looking at the two sitting diagonally across from each other, the mother-in-law laughed and said, "Xiao Yu never drinks beverages. He likes to sit with his father-in-law and drink tea. These two can sit for half a day."
"Really?" Wang Han raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and said with a hint of sigh, "There aren't many young people who like to drink tea these days!"
The voice just fell.
He turned his head, his eyes filled with curiosity, and continued to ask Yu Huan, "By the way, Yu, although I know you are a leader at the Jiangnan Morning Post, what exactly do you do?"
Without hesitation, Yu Huan replied, "My specific position is acting deputy director of the new media department, mainly responsible for the operation of the newspaper's media accounts."
Upon hearing this, Wang Han nodded slightly, then turned to his mother-in-law with a smile and said, "Young people these days are all working in new fields that we don't quite understand."
“I don’t really understand it either. I just heard that this new media department was only established a few months ago and is a special department,” my mother-in-law said with a smile. “But no matter what, as long as we have a direction and work hard, we can’t go wrong.”
"That's true." Wang Han smiled knowingly.
Yu Huan sat up slightly and explained, "Mom, Uncle Wang, it's not hard to understand. What our new media department does is to organize all kinds of news and then publish it on social media platform accounts."
"Is that so?" A thoughtful look appeared in Wang Han's eyes.
Yu Huan smiled gently.
He knew in his heart that Wang Han belonged to the old-fashioned type, and he rarely went online. He didn't have a Weibo account or any other social media accounts.
This is evident from the fact that some people still use feature phones today.
Yu Huan's thoughts shifted, a smile playing on her lips, and she then explained in more detail:
"4G mobile communication technology is now very mature. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology should issue 4G licenses to the three major operators this year to promote the popularization of smartphones. At that time, everyone will have a smartphone and can access the Internet anytime, anywhere. Our newspaper established the new media department in order to keep up with the trend of the times."
Upon hearing this, Wang Han put a betel nut in his right cheek and asked thoughtfully, "So, how exactly is it different from the newspapers and television news we used to read?"
Yu Huan leaned forward slightly, casually rested one hand on the edge of the table, and confidently began to speak:
“Uncle Wang, newspapers have a certain circulation cycle and a limited reach. Television news broadcast times are also relatively fixed. But new media is different; it is very flexible and can be released at any time. For example, if there is a breaking news event, our new media department can release the news immediately, whether it is day or night, and everyone will know about it very quickly. But newspapers and television may not be able to report it until the next day or even later.”
After a moment's thought, Wang Han sighed deeply and said, "Hearing you say that, it feels like the newspaper industry is going to be eliminated?"
"Uncle Wang, newspapers won't be phased out."
Yu Huan paused, then said slowly and deliberately:
"Although new media has a promising future, newspapers also have their unique value. The authority and credibility of newspapers are difficult for new media to completely replace in the short term. Moreover, many long-time readers are still used to reading newspapers. For our newspaper, new media and print media businesses complement each other. While developing new media, we will continue to run the newspaper well."
After listening to Yu Huan's words, Wang Han immediately gained a clear understanding of the importance of the new media department within the newspaper.
Undoubtedly a mainstay!
He slapped his thigh lightly and exclaimed, "Hey, now that you mention it, your new media department really is a product of keeping up with the times!"
“Yes.” Yu Huan nodded without hesitation. “Moreover, new media takes on more diverse forms. On our official account, there are not only text news, but also pictures, videos, and even some interactive content—”
As they were having a pleasant conversation, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open gently.
Yu Huan keenly noticed the slight movement and turned her head slightly to look over, only to see a short, plump woman walk in.
Her purple sweater clung tightly to her body, accentuating her thick waist and large belly, as she steadily carried a round red tea tray in both hands.
As she strolled steadily, her gaze swept around the room before settling on Yu Huan's profile.
The next second, his mouth opened wide and he let out an exaggerated "Wow!"
She paused, turned to look at her mother-in-law, and said with amazement, "Sister Fang, your son-in-law is so handsome!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to look at the graceful figure sitting on the inside of the small sofa, and hurriedly continued to emphasize, "Sister Fang, your family's big star is here too! You have to take a picture with me later!"
When Lin Yourong heard the other person mention her, she nodded slightly and greeted them softly, "Hello, Auntie."
"Hey, hello!" Sister He was overjoyed and nodded vigorously.
The mother-in-law smiled and picked up where He Jie left off: "Xiao He, taking a photo together is definitely no problem, it's just that my son didn't wear makeup when he came out, so he might have to wear a mask and a hat."
"Really?" Sister He's expression remained unchanged as she continued with a smile, "Then we can take another photo together next time we have the chance, it's the same."
After saying that, she immediately turned around and started walking.
Approaching the mahjong machine, his eyes remained fixed on Yu Huan, who wore a slight smile, as he placed the red tea tray in the center of the table. Wang Han casually tossed the betel nut residue in his palm into the nearby trash can, then took another one from his bag and added it to the bowl.
He kept chewing, and seeing this, he joked, "You're staring so intently, haven't you ever seen such a handsome guy before?"
He Jie, who was being teased, was not embarrassed at all.
She laughed heartily and said in a loud voice, "Little Wang, Fang's son-in-law is indeed quite handsome, very likable. Besides, I rarely see such a handsome guy, so I have to take a second look, right?"
Yu Huan observed silently for a while and realized that Sister He was unaware of his identity as the internet celebrity "Brother Leader".
He smiled warmly and said, "Aunt He, you flatter me too much. I'm not that handsome. I'm actually a little embarrassed by what you're saying."
"I'm not just praising him, I'm telling the truth!" Sister He looked away from his face and turned to look at the quiet and gentle Lin Yourong.
Although Lin Yourong covered her face, Sister He still kept looking her over, praising her to her mother-in-law with a happy smile:
"Your kid has changed so much these past few years! She uses a stage name on TV, and I didn't recognize her at first. I only found out it was her after you guys mentioned her. Wow! I never imagined she'd become a nationally famous star in the blink of an eye!"
Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law couldn't help but show a hint of pride on her face, saying, "She has only achieved a little bit of success so far, but her personality hasn't changed much; she's still as quiet as before."
Sister He nodded repeatedly, clicking her tongue in admiration: "That's right! Sister Fang, your daughter's looks and temperament are truly radiant on TV. Although I thought she looked familiar before, I never would have guessed that she was your daughter."
The voice just fell.
Sister He turned slightly to the side, her gaze drawn to Yu Huan as if by a magnet. Half-jokingly, she said in the Xingcheng dialect, "Okay, handsome guy with beautiful girl—um, I'll go downstairs and get you some snacks and fruit."
Wang Han chewed on betel nut, his cheeks puffing out, and joked in the same Xingcheng dialect, "Sister He, get me some more good food!"
Sister He strode off, replying without turning her head, "I know, I guarantee they're all top-notch, you won't want to leave!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Han smiled and casually picked up a cup of tea from the tray, then placed it in front of Yu Huan.
Upon seeing this, Yu Huan smiled, revealing her neat, white teeth, and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Wang."
"Hey, don't be so polite with me!" Wang Han turned his head and said to the mother and daughter on the sofa, "If you want some tea, just get it for yourselves. I won't bring it over."
The mother-in-law, with a bright smile on her face, waved her hand and said, "You and Xiao Yu have a good chat. We can't disturb your important conversation."
With betel nut in his mouth, Wang Han picked up the ceramic cup and gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface: "I've already finalized the important deal with Xiao Yu! I'll have someone contact Xiao Yu and set the schedule right away."
He said this half-jokingly, slowly raising the rim of the cup to his lips and taking a small sip.
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Sister Fang, every time I mentioned having your daughter on my show before, you were always vague, saying her schedule was packed. Now that she's here, can you give me a definite answer this time?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong tilted her head slightly, a thoughtful expression on her face.
She quickly picked up the thread: "Uncle Wang, my schedule has been quite packed lately, but I can have my agent contact your program team to coordinate the time and see if there's a chance to be on your show."
Wang Han's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly put down the cup in his hand, the bottom of the cup lightly touching the table, making a soft sound.
He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! If you can come, the ratings will definitely skyrocket."
At that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open again.
Sister He walked in carrying a plate of snacks and fruit, beaming with joy as she softly called out, "Here it comes, some delicious treats!"
"Sister He, you're pretty quick!" Wang Han looked down at the snack tray Sister He had placed on the mahjong table.
He raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Oh, pistachios and pecans too? You're really going all out today?"
With a beaming smile, Sister He said cheerfully, "Sister Fang's daughter and son-in-law are here, so I have to bring out all the New Year's gifts I've been saving to entertain them!"
"Xiao He, thank you very much then," the mother-in-law said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Sister He quickly turned around and waved her hand, saying, "Sister Fang, there's no need to thank me. We don't need to be so polite. You two have a good chat, I won't disturb you any longer. Just call me anytime if you need anything."
"Okay." The mother-in-law nodded slightly.
After saying this, Sister He walked out of the private room with light steps.
Wang Han withdrew his gaze from the gently closing door. After a moment's thought, he asked his mother-in-law, "I heard that Sister Hong's daughter is your son's agent?"
"Yes," the mother-in-law said with a smile, "the two of them are now partners, running a studio together."
A hint of appreciation appeared in Wang Han's eyes: "That's pretty good. Sister Hong's son is sure to be capable."
The mother-in-law nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Xiaoru is indeed quite capable and very honest. She doesn't have any ulterior motives; she's straightforward and speaks her mind without holding anything back."
As she was speaking, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open with a creak.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to her again, as a woman wearing a thin gray cotton-padded jacket and sporting a wavy hairstyle walked in.
Although she takes good care of her appearance, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes clearly show that she is no longer young.
Her steps were light, and as soon as she entered the room, her clear voice echoed: "Who are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time."
Before he finished speaking, he and Yu Huan made eye contact.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! And who is this handsome young man...?"
"Aunt Hong." Lin Yourong turned her head to look at the person who came and greeted her in a light tone.
Aunt Hong turned her head to look when she heard the sound.
Just a glance at the eyes visible through the brim of the hat and mask, combined with the voice she heard, and she immediately beamed: "You Rong, what a rare guest! What brings you here today?"
