Chapter 9 My Little One.

Jingge was taken aback.

The light from the streetlights outside the window swept quickly across her face, like a gentle hand caressing her cheeks and comforting her sensitive and fragile emotions.

After a moment, Jing Ge came to his senses: "I haven't finished my internship yet..."

Li Mushi simply said, "Six-month internships are now rare in foreign companies in Shanghai."

Most cases take one to three months.

The length of the internship is adjustable and controlled by her supervisor.

Jingge suddenly trembled.

Was she targeted from the very beginning?

All that selfless teaching was just her arrogance?

The day before yesterday, a newcomer from the next group said to her enviously, "Sister Anna is so good to you, she teaches you step by step. You have to work harder!"

Jingge nodded stupidly.

Li Mushi didn't elaborate: "Will you be promoted to a permanent position next month?"

"Um."

"Then?"

“They’ll allocate one or two orders from regular clients to me first,” Jing Ge said. “If there are no problems, I’ll handle all the orders from now on.”

Li Mushi: "Whose orders are we dividing?"

Jing Ge: "...These clients don't belong to anyone in particular, they belong to the company. They are the same lines that existed when the company was founded. Every new business for Womei has gone through this process. When I train new people, I will have to hand over these over as well."

Li Mushi: "Others don't think so."

Once something has been in your hands for a long time, it becomes yours, so why would you willingly give it up?

Jingge was very clever; with just a little guidance from him, she quickly grasped the key points.

However, she is too emotional and easily swayed by her feelings, thus ignoring the underlying truth.

Li Mushi: "Did I apologize for making you come all this way for nothing?"

"...No."

"Um."

"......"

What's with this "he knew it" tone?

Jing Ge was inexplicably annoyed: "I'm an intern, of course she can manipulate me at will."

"Do you prefer open attacks," Li Mushi changed the subject, "or covert ones?"

"I don't like any of them, so why should I like this kind of thing?"

"......"

Whether it was a trick of the eye or not, Jing Ge felt as if he caught a very faint and fleeting smile on Li Mushi's lips.

Li Mushi didn't continue: "How about changing jobs?"

"don't want."

"What about the family's ceramics factory?"

Jing Ge remained silent.

After a while, Jing Ge remained calm: "It's probably meant for Prince Jing."

She wasn't included.

Li Mushi smiled slightly, indicating his understanding.

There was no one to back her up, so she was always very careful. Work was her only way out, which is why she was so cautious and concerned.

The car drove to the Li residence.

Li Mushi glanced at her in the courtyard light and said, "Let's make a bet."

"What."

“I bet your boss will act like nothing happened tomorrow,” Li Mushi said calmly. “If you lose, you give me a hundred dollars; if I lose, I'll give you two hundred.”

"......"

No need to gamble.

Jingge believes.

The issue of checking in hasn't been resolved yet.

Jing Ge stammered, "I'll just endure it until I get a permanent position."

Li Mushi looked at her for a while, then nodded cryptically.

He didn't say anything more.

She's about to be promoted, and while she can tolerate it, her boss might not.

It will only get worse.

Jing Ge immediately took out a hundred and gave it to him.

Li Mushi: "..."

The banknotes were folded, but they were brand new.

Li Mushi accepted the money without hesitation, showing no awareness that he was spending it on a child.

"Remember to tell me the results."

Jing Ge turned and left.

They didn't even say hello.

Even knowing the outcome, I still reported it to him.

Li Mushi lightly rubbed the banknote with his fingertips, a faint smile playing on his lips.

This terrified Zhang Ma.

"Third...Third Master...are you...?" Are you smiling?

Li Mushi looked at her, his expression already back to normal, as calm as still water: "Is Li Ying asleep?"

"She's asleep, and she's squeezed into Gege's side to sleep again."

"...Where is Li Zhan?"

“…” Zhang Ma murmured, “No reply.”

Li Mushi walked towards his room: "Tell him to come back tomorrow, or I'll confiscate his car."

“.

That would probably cause a complete upheaval.

Jing Ge had another nightmare that night; Li Zhan was still pulling her hair and trying to cut off her head with a knife.

He failed to make the cut, but at the critical moment, Li Mushi suddenly appeared and kicked his knife away.

They rescued her.

-

The next day, when Jingge and Liying went downstairs for breakfast, Li Mushi had already left.

Zhang Ma said he had something to do at his company.

It's perfectly normal for Li Mushi to have things to do. He's busy, and the reason he's been able to come home more often these past few days is probably to act as their guardian.

But Li Mushi actually drove away by himself.

"Third Master said he's been busy lately," Uncle Zhang explained. "It's convenient for him to drive himself, and I'm just sitting here anyway, so why don't I pick you up and drop you off?"

Jing Ge did not refuse.

Not having to rush to catch the bus is definitely a lot easier.

On his way to Womei, Jingge received a message from Anna, the usual one: "Honey, clock in for me. I'll be ten minutes late. Love you~"

Jing Ge: "......"

How can a person's skin be as thick as pig skin!

Jing Ge, in a fit of rage, immediately took a screenshot of the message and sent it to Li Mushi.

This was the first message she sent to Li Mushi.

It felt like gossiping with my best friend, and I wanted him to check it out quickly. Sure enough, some people acted as if nothing had happened, just as he had guessed.

After sending the message, Jing Ge's feverish mind gradually calmed down.

Then, like a coward, he withdrew the message.

Good heavens.

Before I knew it, I'd forgotten who was on the other end.

Could Li Mushi be the person she can casually talk badly about or gossip about?

Don't scare people!

As soon as the message was retracted, Li Mushi looked up from his phone and glanced at the other side with an ambiguous expression.

The assistant reported: "This is Mr. Zhang, the boss of Womei."

Zhang Hong quickly extended his hand: "President Li, I've heard so much about you."

“Don’t be so polite,” Li Mushi shook hands with him, “Please have a seat.”

“Sigh,” Zhang Hong couldn’t help but feel nervous in front of him, “President Li, I heard that you want to place a batch of orders with our company?”

Li Mushi said calmly, "Several international friends want to order a batch of Christmas supplies for next year from us. Li's Group does not do foreign trade. Professional matters should be left to professionals."

“No problem,” Zhang Hong said cheerfully. “I’ll personally take care of your friend.”

Li Mushi: "No need to trouble General Manager Zhang, it's an overkill. It's just fifty cabinets."

"......"

Zhang Hong was shocked.

What kind of friend is this? He thought he was just ordering some Christmas supplies for his own use, and that he could just put them in someone else's cabinet and send them out. How could he possibly need fifty shipping containers?

Isn't this the same as sending him an order?

Zhang Hong was too afraid to speak.

"By the way," Li Mushi said, looking at him, "our little one didn't cause any trouble for President Zhang, did he?"

"..." Zhang Hong asked, confused. "Who?"

Li Mushi: "Jingge".

Zhang Hong: "

After a long pause, Zhang Hong finally realized: "Jingge is yours?"

Li Mushi pushed the water in front of him, his expression calm: "The young lady is new to the world and wants to go out and gain experience, so we can only let her be."
