After walking a distance, Mingyao heard the woman arguing with the driver.

Mingyao quickly hailed another taxi at the intersection, thinking she could get to Boss Wang's company without any trouble. But as soon as she turned the corner, a little kid suddenly rushed into the middle of the road.

The driver was startled and slammed on the brakes.

Due to inertia, Mingyao's forehead slammed directly into the chair in front of her.

"Oh no, oh no, what if we hit someone?"

The driver got out of the car with a pale face, and the little boy, who was about half a person's height, looked at the driver with a dusty face.

"Little friend, are you hurt?"

Little Radish Head pursed his lips, remaining silent and staring longingly at the driver.

The driver looked the little boy up and down. "Where are your parents?"

Little Radish Head remained silent.

The driver was quite worried. Just in case, he decided to take the little boy to the hospital for a check-up. "Miss, would you please find another car?"

"I'm worried something might have happened to my child, so I'll take him to the hospital for a check-up first."

Mingyao's face darkened.

Did I not check the almanac before going out today? Why did every taxi I took seem to have an accident?

Moreover, the driver didn't take the main road, and the location was relatively remote, making it difficult to hail a taxi.

"All right."

Mingyao gritted her teeth and decided to ride a shared bicycle to the company.

She refused to believe that she could have an accident while riding her bike!

As soon as Mingyao got out of the car, Little Radish Head stared straight at her, a light suddenly shining in his dark eyes.

Before Mingyao and the driver could react, Little Radish Head flew into Mingyao's arms like lightning.

He held Mingyao tightly around the waist, tears streaming down his face, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Mingyao was stunned. "Child, what are you doing?"

Little Radish Head looked up at her with tears streaming down his face, his wet eyes staring at her without uttering a sound.

Looking at the little boy's face, Mingyao vaguely felt that he looked familiar. "Have we met before?"

Little Radish nodded vigorously and hugged Mingyao even tighter.

Upon seeing this, the driver quickly said, "Miss, you just saw it, I didn't hit him."

"I don't need the fare, you can use this money to take him for a check-up."

The driver took out a few bills and stuffed them into Mingyao's hand. After saying that, he got into the car and drove away.

Mingyao: "..."

She was in a hurry to find Boss Wang, so how could she have time to look after the child?

“Little friend,” Mingyao crouched down to be at eye level with the little boy, “what’s your name? Where do you live?”

Little Radish Ding held Mingyao's hand, staring at her intently without saying a word.

Mingyao patiently asked him a few more questions, but the little radish didn't even utter a sound.

Mingyao had a headache.

Is this child mute?

"Could you tell me your parents' contact information?"

She took out her phone and asked Little Radish to make a call.

Little Radish Ding shook his head like a rattle-drum, pushing it away and then hugging Mingyao.

Mingyao was extremely helpless and could only say softly, "Little friend, I have something else to do."

"We can't be with you, and if you disappear, your parents will worry about you."

Don't you want to see your mom and dad?

Little Radish pouted but didn't say anything.

Mingyao was about to go crazy.

The child doesn't say a word, so how can she take the child to find the parents?

Are we going to take the child to see Boss Wang?

"How about this, I'll take you to the police station, okay?"

"The police will help you find your mom and dad."

Mingyao checked the nearby map and found that there was a police station just 500 meters away.

As she spoke, she tried to pull Little Radish forward, but Little Radish stood still like a stone.

Mingyao turned around and saw Little Radish shaking his head angrily, "I'm not going."

"So you can talk."

She approached Little Radish, bent down, looked carefully into his eyes, and asked, "Can you tell me your name? Where do you live?"

Little Radish rubbed his tummy with his little hands and said in a hoarse voice, "Hungry."

Mingyao was speechless.

"What would you like to eat?"

Little Radish pointed at the KFC across the street, his eyes sparkling.

"Okay, after I take you to eat a hamburger, can you tell me where I live?"

"I'll take you home."

Mingyao was anxious to find Boss Wang, but she couldn't just leave the child here.

We can only settle the little boy first, and then go to Mr. Wang to deal with the cooperation.

After arriving at the burger shop, the little boy ordered a kids' meal and then sat by the window and ate it heartily.

He ate ravenously, his mouth stuffed full, yet he kept eating.

Mingyao frowned and took a tissue to wipe the ketchup from the corner of his lips. "Did you run out without eating anything?"

Little Radish nodded vigorously and took another big bite of the chicken wing.

Mingyao rested her chin on her hand and pinched the little guy's chubby cheek. "Sister had something very important to do."

"Because of you, my sister can't do anything now."

After Boss Wang's collaboration with Pei Siyu failed in his previous life, news of his acquisition of a technology company in W country soon spread.

If we don't hurry, Mr. Wang's project will be acquired by a technology company from Country W!

Mingyao felt increasingly troubled and frustrated as she thought about it.

The Haichang branch is not far from Mr. Wang's company, yet she still had a very difficult time getting there.

Now they've picked up a five- or six-year-old kid, so forget about going to find Boss Wang, they can't even get away.
