In the year 2700, a time of rampant materialism, highly developed social production, and a progressively ruined natural environment teetering on the brink of collapse. Niannian, a little red panda ...
Chapter 68 Nian Nian Delivers Meal
Shi Lihan was still undecided about the resentment he was emitting. After greeting Nian Nian, he lowered his eyelashes and pretended to look at the computer.
The people on either side of the long conference table glanced subtly at Shi Lihan and Shi Guilin, some unconsciously looking in their direction. Several glances softened as they landed on Nian Nian, dressed in a striking bright yellow outfit. Then, a moment later, they spotted Shi Jianfeng standing behind the little girl like a guardian angel.
The genuine affection in everyone's eyes disappeared for a moment, replaced by a polite but awkward smile.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the kid outside the door. The person in charge, who was standing in front of the display screen and talking nonstop, glanced at everyone and realized that no one was listening to his report, so his voice paused slightly.
Nian Nian, who was suddenly being watched by two rows of people, was confused and tilted her head to the side: "Uncle and aunt, are you looking at Nian Nian?"
"Well, they've never seen an employee this young."
"Niannian, the president will grow up." Niannian, who didn't like being called a little boy, said these harsh words and took two steps forward, her chubby face almost touching the glass door.
Shi Jianfeng stretched out a finger and poked his cheek, using a little force to block the direct contact between the glass door and the little guy's skin: "Don't put your face on the door, it's unhygienic."
Upon hearing this, the clean-loving Nian Nian retracted her little feet and continued to transform into the Father-Looking Stone, with her eyes glued to Shi Guilin.
The person in charge of the explanation at this moment was the last speaker of the meeting. As the meeting was drawing to a close, a sudden appearance by Little Nian Nian inevitably made the people in the room agitated, winking at each other and exchanging information through eye contact.
Three minutes later.
Shi Lihan closed the computer and said calmly, "Let's adjourn the meeting."
After receiving the order, the conference room was suddenly filled with the sounds of things being packed up and chairs being dragged, occasionally interspersed with the quiet conversations between colleagues.
The people who filed out passed through the glass door and greeted Shi Jianfeng politely. The bolder ones would smile at Nian Nian after greeting the chairman and leave a few words of praise.
"The kid is so cute."
"Is he always off work while waiting? Haha."
"Like father, like son. This little guy is incredibly handsome."
…
Nian Nian was overwhelmed and completely unable to withstand the "hot violence" of a group of strangers. Everyone smiled at him, and he smiled back obediently.
But he couldn't stand the crowds. He bared his white teeth, his black eyes twinkling, and his smile gradually became like that of the model in the toothpaste commercial, perfect yet stiff. It was obvious that he was trying his best to respond to the uncles and aunts' friendliness.
Shi Guilin and Shi Lihan, who came out at the end of the crowd, almost laughed themselves to death when they saw his expression.
Nian Nian, who was waiting for Shi Guilin to get off work, saw her father and felt as if she had found a life-saving herb. She threw herself on Shi Guilin's lap with both hands. He hugged him tightly, as if he had been separated from his father for eight hundred years.
Shi Guilin also missed him very much.
God knows what he has been doing at his workstation this morning.
He stared at the computer, reading the data analysis table. As soon as he saw the first "number", Shi Guilin started to think about how many numbers Nian Nian could count to.
He's completely hopeless. He's become the ultimate cub lover.
"Daddy misses Nian Nian so much," Shi Guilin said, picking up Nian Nian, the little weight, from the ground and holding her in his arms. He gave her a kiss and expressed his longing for her without reservation. As they walked, he asked, "Does Nian Nian miss Daddy?"
"Yeah!" The little cub hugged Shi Guilin's neck and told him his true feelings about being alone at home. "Nian Nian played with Yuan Yuan. Then, Papa ran into Nian Nian."
For a whole half day, his little head was occupied by Shi Guilin.
It took Shi Guilin a moment to understand what he meant: "How did you manage to make the phrase 'missing me' sound so refreshing and refined?"
The illiterate Nian Nian currently did not understand the four-character phrases like "fresh and unworldly", so she did not respond.
Shi Jianfeng added, "You didn't see him like that? He's so well behaved. After I agreed to bring him to the company, he stopped clamoring to play and just sat there like his butt was welded to the sofa, waiting to go to the company to find his dad."
Shi Lihan, who was listening silently, walked beside them and asked maliciously, "Didn't Uncle run into Nian Nian? Nian Nian only wants Daddy and not Uncle?"
"She ran away!" Nian Nian, who was wrongly accused, cried out urgently, "Uncle, Auntie, she ran away."
He went over the details of working at home in his mind.
"Which little darling said I ran away?" Chen Yi raised his voice and teased, walking towards them, and the two groups merged.
She pinched Nian Nian's little face and went with them to Shi Lihan's office. "Mom sent me a message saying that my family had sent me food. I came here as soon as I finished my work. I didn't expect that you had just finished a meeting."
Shi Lihan said, "Today's meeting will be a bit long."
Nian Nian nodded: "Yes, it's long. Nian Nian has been waiting."
Several people smiled knowingly.
Wang Xiulin, who was waiting in the office, had already unpacked the food and placed it on the coffee table in the lounge area on the side of the office. As soon as Shi Guilin and the others entered, she immediately waved, "Come and eat! You must be starving after working all day."
When they smelled the fragrance of the food, they felt even hungrier. Without saying much, they sat down around the coffee table one after another.
After seeing his father, Nian Nian's longing for him receded like a tide. He glanced at the food on the coffee table and remembered that he hadn't finished his work. He was so anxious that he kicked his legs to get down. Shi Guilin thought he had some earth-shattering need and put him down quickly.
I saw Nian Nian standing upright in front of the coffee table, as if she was wearing a small suit and a small tie.
He handed over the mini lunch box he had been holding in his arms, opened his eyes wide, looked determined, and said in a respectful tone with a professional attitude:
"Papa, uncle, aunt. Nian Nian is here to deliver lunch to work."
