At the Chexin headquarters, during lunch break, Assistant Qin and Secretary Han sat together. Secretary Han encouraged Assistant Qin to give Li Yanchen a call. He told him to put the phone on speaker.
When Li Yanchen saw the call, he hesitated for a moment. Before he left, he had already instructed Assistant Qin to handle the company matters.
âBig Boss!â Assistant Qinâs voice was cheerful and eager.
Secretary Han got goosebumps. He had made Assistant Qin call the Boss, but he did not tell him to sound so happy about it.
Li Yanchen confirmed the name on the screen once again. âCan you speak properly?â
âYes. Do you want to be an internet celebrity? Why did you live stream your cooking skills? Boss, do you not want the company anymore? Donât you want us anymore?
Although the companyâs work was progressing smoothly under Secretary Hanâs leadership, the orders were obviously much fewer than before.
Li Yanchen furrowed his brows. âIs that all?â
âIsnât this important enough? Boss, our companyâs orders for the past two months arenât as good as before,â Assistant Qin continued.
Secretary Han gave him a thumbs-up.
âDonât tell me about it. Go and tell Secretary Han.â Li Yanchen hung up the phone.
Assistant Qin was stumped. So was Secretary Han.
Assistant Qin looked at Secretary Han in contempt. âI told you, but you insisted! Now Boss must be angry at me. He doesnât lack money, so it doesnât matter whether we earn a lot or a little less!â
âI was doing it for everyoneâs benefit,â said Secretary Han.
âYou said that Bossâs personality has changed. He has only changed for Madam, not for us. Donât make me call him again. Letâs get back to work.â Assistant Qin pushed Secretary Han out of the office.
In the courtyard of the Li familyâs house, after the call, Li Yanchen put his phone in silent mode and placed it on the table.
He lay down on the recliner to enjoy the cool air.
[I forgot that Mr. Li still has a job. Hahahaha.]
[Me too! I almost thought he was a celebrity. I forgot that he has a company in Yun City to take care of.]
[I vaguely heard Mr. Li say not to ask him about the company matters. Does that mean Mr. Li doesnât want to be a CEO anymore? He isnât considering quitting the company, right?]
[Mr. Li is going to retreat? Well, he could afford to not work for the rest of his life. If I have billions of assets under my name, I will retire too. I am thirty years old, but my savings is o.]
[I checked whether they have nursery homes for people in their thirties. I want to retire too! My heart and my body are barely functioning.]
[I guess everyone hates working.]
Lin Wan had spent about an hour learning guitar from Li Zexuan. She had learned a lot. She was now more confident and motivated. She even wanted to strike while the iron was hot. However, Li Zexuan was not happy with her progress.
âThatâs all for today. Iâve taught you this song thirty times, Ms. Lin,â said Li
Zexuan. âWhy is it so hard for you? Have you never played the guitar before?â
Lin Wan quickly lowered the volume of the live stream. âThere are no students who cannot learn, only teachers who canât teach well.â
Li Zexuan was appalled.
Li Zekai took the opportunity to add to the chaos. âAuntie Lin is right. Brother, maybe you didnât teach her well. Also, you need to be more patient. You are becoming mean again.â
Li Zexuan was at a loss. âYou played Für Elise quite well last time. You corrected your mistakes so fast. Why are you so clumsy today?â
Lin Wan leaned on the table and mumbled, âI have only learned that one song since my university days. I only played that.â
âSo, you just memorized the notes to that one song without knowing the basics of how to play the guitar?â asked Li Zexuan.
âLower your voice. This is being broadcasted live.â Lin Wan glanced at the bullet screen.
Li Zexuan facepalmed himself.
[I can hear it even if you lower the volume. How is Lin Wan so cute? Who still remembers the incident from the first episode?]
[I remember that Xuanxuan played a song and asked Mr. Li how it was. He wanted Mr. Liâs praise, but Mr. Li didnât say anything. Sister Wan stood up for Xuanxuan and even scolded Mr. Li. She praised Xuanxuan. She also said that she liked to play the guitar and had learned it a little. She asked Xuanxuan to teach her.]
[I remember now. So, at that time, Lin Wan only said it for Xuanxanâs sake. She doesnât actually know how to play the guitar. She only knows one song.]
[Lin Wan said she learned it in her university. It turns out she only played âFür Eliseâ for seven or eight years and relied on this song to make a living in the world.]
[@Previous Poster, I was originally touched, but, now that you said it in that way, I canât stop laughing.]
[She is so adorable. Everyone scolded her for being lazy that time, but she just wasnât familiar with the family members. ]
âI am really interested to learn. I just didnât have anyone to teach me,â said Lin Wan.
[Xuanxuanâs face is slowly crumbling. Hahaha. He taught her the same song thirty times! ]
[Lin Wan, what are you thinking? You can make desserts, but you hide that from all of us. You donât know how to play the guitar, but you still pretend to Imow it because you learned one song? Itâs all opposite. Are you trying to surprise us repeatedly?]
âCan they still hear it even after I lowered the volume?â Lin Wan glanced at the comments.
Now, everyone knew that she had lied.
Lin Wan turned her back to the camera. âLi Zexuan, Iâm your mother. A son canât lecture his mother.â
Li Zexuan was speechless. If he didnât regain his dignity, he would never get a chance. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Zexuanâs mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something but couldnât decide.
Lin Wan interrupted him. âDo you want ginger milk? I will make it for you. Go to the backyard and dig some ginger. Go.â
Li Zexuan put down his guitar and went to the backyard. He was smiling.
[Xuanxuan, are you such a foodie? You changed your attitude a little too quickly.]
[Lin Wan deserves everything in life.]
[Donât you care about your reputation in the entertainment industry? Thereâs still the burden of being an idol in the entertainment industry, okay? How can you say that youâve been in the entertainment industry for eight years and only relied on one song to survive?]
[Whatâs this new thing about ginger milk? Why havenât I heard of it before? Is it milk boiled with ginger?]
[I wonder if itâs tea or dessert? Is this a new item?]
[Seeing how Xuanxuan hurried off, it must taste very good. Ginger and milk both are healthy, after all. Please reveal the secret in the Sweet Little Circle live stream!]
Li Yanchen got up from the chair when he heard her. âWanwan, what is ginger milk? Is it food or a drink? I want some too.â
âXuanxuan hurried away so fast that I feel like he had it before. Why wasnât I allowed to try?â Li Yanchen said unhappily. âAre Lin Wan and the children eating delicious food behind my back?â
âXinxin had a cold. You werenât home. You were on a business trip. I made him some ginger milk. Xuanxuan and Jiejie tried some too,â she explained. She realized Li Yanchen had never tasted it before.
âDaddy, itâs like pudding. Itâs chewy and delicious. Itâs just milk, but it turns as thick as a pudding.â Li Zekai didnât like ginger, but he liked the ginger milk that Lin Wan had made.
âAuntie Lin, can I have some too?â the little boy asked expectantly..
