My buildings have attributes

"If you really want to bribe us, this meal is too easy. Do you think we can be satisfied with just one meal?" Li Lili asked.

"No, no, this is just the beginning, don't worry. With you two strategists here, I will definitely not treat you unfairly," Liu Yuyang quickly said.

"Ningxue is just joking with you," Chen Ling said from the side.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuyang immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I know. But Goddess Shen has said a lot, one meal is indeed not enough. Don't worry, as long as you can help me win back Chen Mengyao, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"You've got quite the nerve, haven't you? What else do you plan to bribe us with? Tell me first," Chen Ling said in surprise. He looked at Liu Yuyang's arrogant attitude and was eager to hear how Liu Yuyang intended to bribe them.

"Well, I haven't thought about the specifics yet. Just tell me what you want me to do, or what you need, and I'll do whatever I can," Liu Yuyang said confidently.

Chapter 346 Bribing the Strategist 2

After hearing Liu Yuyang's words, Li Lili and Chen Ling exchanged glances.

Then Li Lili began to say, "This is too perfunctory! Who bribes like this? Do you even have any sincerity at all?"

"No sincerity is the greatest sincerity. If you ask me to do something, I will definitely do it," Liu Yuyang said, patting his chest.

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. We don't need you to bribe us with anything, as long as you two are doing well," Li Lili said with a smile.

"Oh, that's great! Please help me think of a solution and come up with some ideas," Liu Yuyang said again.

"This problem mainly depends on you; we need to solve it from the root," Chen Ling said.

"Yes, yes, I know, then what?" Liu Yuyang asked, puzzled.

"Then it's up to you. You two, when you get to the bottom of it, don't really have any conflict. It's just about marriage, right? If you want to reconcile, it depends on whether you can make concessions. Chen Mengyao's attitude is very clear; she doesn't want to get married. What about you? What do you want to do?" Li Lili pointed out the key point in one sentence.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuyang lowered his head and began to ponder deeply. He had thought about this issue before and had discussed it with his family at home.

"Is there any way to get Chen Mengyao to come home with me and meet my family? That way they'll have a better understanding of the situation. This request isn't unreasonable, is it?" Liu Yuyang asked tentatively.

“Yes, what you’re asking for isn’t unreasonable under normal circumstances, but what will you do if Chen Mengyao still doesn’t want to back down? Have you thought it through?” Li Lili asked again.

"This..." Liu Yuyang stammered, unable to come to a conclusion.

“If you are sure of your thoughts, then we can discuss the next steps,” Chen Ling said from the side.

"Is there any way to get her to back down a bit?" Liu Yuyang asked.

"There might be a solution, but it depends on Chen Mengyao's thoughts. We'll talk about that later. We need to make sure you're determined first, otherwise nothing we do will be of any use," Li Lili continued.

“I understand what you’re saying, but… never mind, just help me figure out how we can get back together. After we reconcile, I’ll try to win her back with my sincerity,” Liu Yuyang said.

“Okay, that makes things easier.” Li Lili glanced at Chen Ling beside her and then began to speak.

"What's a good idea, Goddess Shen? Tell me quickly!" Liu Yuyang asked hurriedly. He was eager to know how to get back together.

"First, you need to look for the problem within yourself. Think about what caused your arguments when you were dating. Also, think about your own shortcomings so you can correct them," Li Lili said calmly. Li Lili, the strategist, had already begun offering advice.

"Yes, if there are any faults, we should correct them; if there are none, we should strive to improve," Chen Ling echoed.

"Okay, I understand. What's the second one?" Liu Yuyang asked again.

"The second point is that you need to calm down the emotions in your family so that nothing else will happen after you make up," Li Lili continued.

"Okay, no problem. Anything else?" Liu Yuyang immediately agreed upon hearing this.

"The last point is about Chen Mengyao. You left her because of this, which was a huge blow to her. These days, when I talk to her, she doesn't tell me about what happened between you two. And I've noticed she doesn't smile much anymore. If you want to reconcile, you need to regain her trust and make up for the hurt you caused. Also, you need to show her that you know your mistakes and that you've already corrected them," Li Lili continued.

It has to be said that women understand women best.

"And most importantly, let her know your determination to be with her," Chen Ling added.

Seeing Chen Ling's words, that's very true. When a woman is deciding whether or not to be with a man, that man's determination plays a significant role.

"You also need to remember that you can't be too hasty. If you want to make up, you have to take it one step at a time. After all, you hurt her before. If you just tell her you want to make up right away, she will definitely refuse you," Li Lili analyzed.

“What Ningxue said is very true. Extremes meet, and there’s some truth to that. You’re still colleagues now, so let’s start as colleagues. Slowly, you can become friends. And finally, you can become lovers,” Chen Ling added.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuyang was secretly saddened for a moment before saying, "Alright! Let's do it your way. Anyway, I knew her for a long time before we got together. We were colleagues for so long, so what's a little more time?"

Liu Yuyang said these words casually, but his eyes were filled with sadness. He hadn't been happy since the breakup and constantly thought about Chen Mengyao. That's why he wanted to get back together.

"Oh, right, there's something else I wanted to ask you. Goddess Shen, you said Chen Mengyao doesn't smile much anymore, that shouldn't be the case. When I was at the company, I saw you two chatting happily." Liu Yuyang asked, puzzled.

"When were you talking about? I don't remember. It's been a long time, we hardly talk anymore." Li Lili felt confused after hearing this.

"Well... oh, it seems like it's been quite a while," Liu Yuyang said casually.

“We haven’t had a long chat in a long time. We only exchange a few words at the company. I haven’t seen him smile in ages, let alone you,” Li Lili continued.

"It's all my fault. I'm the one who let Chen Mengyao down," Liu Yuyang said regretfully.

After Liu Yuyang finished speaking, he continued, "I've reflected on this these past few days. I won't break up with her over something like this again."

"If we don't want to break up, we have to wait until she's willing to get back together," Chen Ling said calmly.

"Stop putting me down. Can't you give me some confidence? If you keep saying things like that, I won't have the courage to make up with you," Liu Yuyang said dejectedly.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. I was trying to get you to channel your grief and anger into motivation, but who knew you'd be so easily overwhelmed by the pressure and unable to rise above it all? Fine, I won't say anything more then. Keep it up!" Chen Ling said, encouraging Liu Yuyang.

Liu Yuyang looked at them with a grateful expression.

Chapter 347 Helping others to the end

Chen Ling and the others could tell what Liu Yuyang was thinking just by looking at his expression. They had been chatting for so long and hadn't even had a proper meal yet.

"Let's stop chatting and eat properly. I've been craving all this food for a while now," Chen Ling said.

"Right, right, I was so busy chatting that I forgot to tell you guys to eat," Liu Yuyang said awkwardly. Then they started cooking hot pot.

"You know what, this tastes really good," Li Lili said after taking a bite.

"Yes, it's really delicious, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you guys here," Liu Yuyang said proudly. They finished the meal quickly.

Just as Chen Ling and his group stepped out of the restaurant, they heard Li Lili say, "This hot pot restaurant is really good. We should come here often!" Li Lili even looked back at the shop after she finished speaking.

"Okay, I'll come eat with you next time," Chen Ling said to Li Lili with affection.

"Look here, there's another single guy here. Please consider my feelings, okay?" Liu Yuyang said helplessly.

Then Chen Ling and Li Lili, who were standing nearby, immediately burst out laughing. Chen Ling said, "Hahaha, yes, yes, you're right. We should consider how you, a single dog, feel."

Then Chen Ling took Li Lili's hand and said, "Come on, let's go home."

Just then, Liu Yuyang looked up and saw the two of them starting to walk back, and then he shouted, "Wait for me! This is so disloyal!"

"We're going home to be lovey-dovey, why are you waiting for us?" Chen Ling said, turning around to Liu Yuyang.

Then they heard Liu Yuyang say, "Okay, okay, you guys go home, I'll go home too." So they parted ways.

"Chen Ling, do you think Chen Mengyao will agree to reconcile with Liu Yuyang?" Li Lili asked Chen Ling after they got into the car.

"It mainly depends on Chen Mengyao. Liu Yuyang's attitude is quite clear now. Even if they can't get married, he's willing to continue dating Chen Mengyao. So the decision ultimately rests with Chen Mengyao and depends on her feelings for Liu Yuyang. If they're deep, then I think she'll forgive him," Chen Ling analyzed.

"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense, that should be the case," Li Lili nodded, believing that the situation between me and Chen Mengyao was indeed as Chen Ling said, ultimately it depended on Chen Mengyao's thoughts.

“Liu Yuyang has already made his stance clear, and we just told him that this matter can’t be rushed and we need to let him take his time. I think they should reconcile in the end,” Chen Ling continued.

"I also think the chances of reconciliation are higher," Li Lili said with a smile. Chen Ling and Li Lili chatted for a while, and soon they arrived home.

"Go take a shower first, I'll go later," Li Lili said as soon as she got home.

"Okay." After hearing this, Liu Yuyang took his things and went to take a shower.

After Chen Ling left, Li Lili started texting Chen Mengyao on her phone. Soon after, Chen Ling finished showering and came out.

"I'm ready, you can go take a shower now," Chen Ling said as he came out.

"I'll go later," Li Lili said, looking up at Chen Ling, before continuing to play with her phone.

"Who are you chatting with? You seem so serious." Chen Ling asked curiously, looking at Li Lili.

"I'm chatting with Chen Mengyao right now, and I'm trying to sound out Liu Yuyang first," Li Lili said happily.

"Wife, you're such a good person!" Chen Ling said to Li Lili affectionately.

"I'm just helping people to the end," Li Lili said righteously.

"That's why I say you're kind-hearted. Look, you're still working overtime so late," Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Why are you always flattering me? You don't mean you want to talk to me about something, do you?" Li Lili looked at Chen Ling's eyes and sensed that he had some ill intentions, so she became wary and started asking him questions.

"Look at what kind of person you think I am. What could I possibly need from you? Even if I did need to, you're my wife. Isn't it normal for me to talk to you about something?" Chen Ling said somewhat angrily.

"Okay, okay, I misunderstood you. You don't need to be so angry," Li Lili said innocently.

"Who told you to frame me? You're wrongly accusing an innocent person for no reason," Chen Ling continued.

"Alright, alright, I wronged you. Please don't hold a grudge against a weak woman like me," Li Lili said, feigning grievance.

"Alright, I'll let you off this time," Chen Ling said, feigning reluctance.

"Alright then, I'll go take a shower first, and chat with Chen Mengyao later," Li Lili said. She then got up and started packing her things, preparing to wash up.

"Honey, Chen Mengyao texted you again." Just as Chen Ling was about to pick up the book on the table, he heard Li Lili's phone ring. He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and then said to Li Lili.

"What did you send? Never mind, it's okay, I'll reply after I go out," Li Lili said loudly from inside.

"Okay." Chen Ling had just opened his mouth to say the contents of the message when he heard what Li Lili said next.

A short while later, Li Lili came out. She immediately went to the table, picked up her phone, and prepared to reply to Chen Mengyao's message.

"She asked me to go shopping tomorrow," Li Lili said, turning to Chen Ling.

“Yes, then you should go with her tomorrow. You can also find out some information.” Chen Ling immediately said after hearing this.

"Okay." Li Lili nodded.

"Why is your hair still wet? Why didn't you dry it? You'll catch a cold if you do." Chen Ling looked up at Li Lili and noticed that her hair was still very wet, so he asked anxiously.

"I was just thinking of replying to Chen Mengyao's message as soon as possible, so I didn't blow it. It's okay, I'll go get a towel to dry it." Li Lili said while touching her hair.

After Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately turned around and walked towards the bathroom, intending to just grab a towel and wipe herself down.

"Let me help you." As Chen Ling spoke, he got out of bed and followed Chen Ling.

After hearing Chen Ling's words, Li Lili turned to look at him. Then she smiled happily again.
