Chapter 71
"I'll wait for you."
In response to Ying Heng's incoherent words, a question mark slowly appeared on Tan Li's forehead, "? What are you waiting for?"
"Travel." Ying Heng blinked his innocent big eyes, "Didn't you say that you should prepare the audition support for Tan Xinman first? Then wait until these things are over before we set off."
Tan Li looked at him silently.
Ying Heng raised a very shallow arc at the corner of his mouth, "The world is always there, and it won't run away."
"We," he pointed at himself and Tan Li, "We can always go."
As long as they are willing.
"..." Tan Li took a breath of fresh air, "Okay."
Although she was lazy to do anything, but...
Tan Li didn't hate it. There was someone always behind her, pushing her to see some scenery she had never seen before.
She turned around and smiled, "Let's go."
Then she stepped towards the room——
"When the time comes, I'll tell you a story." Tan Li didn't stop, but left a meaningful sentence.
Ying Heng paused.
His eyes, which had always been a little vague, seemed to suddenly focus on Tan Li's back.
Until Tan Li disappeared in the door, Ying Heng whispered, "...Okay, I'll wait for you."
His heart, which was heavy just now, suddenly felt lifted up. He couldn't help but smile and looked at the blue sky——
...Actually, it didn't seem that bad.
**
Tan Xinman went to participate in the closed training for the talent show recording, leaving only Tan Li, Wu Xiu, and Tan Pei at home.
Wu Xiu was the same as always, but Tan Pei seemed to be possessed by a ghost.
"... Dad, aren't you going to work?" Tan Li gritted her teeth as she looked at Tan Pei who had taken half of her sofa.
Tan Pei fed Wu Xiu a bite of strawberry, and then said to Tan Li, "Dad is old, it's time to prepare for retirement."
Tan Li:?
Workaholic retirement? Nothing wrong with that, right?
Wu Xiu could see her daughter to the left and her husband to the right, and her face was flushed with joy, "Yes~ It's time to retire~"
She handed Tan Li a bite of honeydew melon, "Your dad said he wanted to retire a few years ago, and he also said he would take me on a global tour~ He finally took action in the past few years~"
Tan Pei smiled dotingly at this.
"It's not easy to give up such a big group. It will take several years, right?" Tan Pei assured, "After a while, I will definitely be able to handle all the work, and then I can concentrate on traveling with you."
In fact, if it weren't for the real and fake daughter incident, he could have handed over the company to Tan Xinman a few years ago, and then traveled around the world with Wu Xiu.
Wu Xiu was not annoyed that Tan Pei failed to fulfill the agreement. She knew that Tan Pei had a lot of things to do, and she could live such a relaxed and happy life all day long, thanks to Tan Pei's hard work outside, so she was still very understanding of her husband's hard work.
But...
"Travel..." Wu Xiu thought of a great idea, "Then Dali can go with Mom and Dad? I can't bear to leave Dali~~"
Tan Pei's action of feeding fruit froze, and he smiled bitterly.
He gave Tan Li a look quietly: Can you give us a space for the two of us?
Although Tan Li didn't understand the meaning in his eyes, it didn't stop her from refusing for herself, "No, I have an appointment with someone else."
"Ah~?" Wu Xiu stretched out her voice in disappointment, "Dali won't go with Mom and Dad?"
"We haven't traveled as a family yet..." she whispered.
Tan Pei felt a little distressed again.
Although he didn't want to have a light bulb following him, if Wu Xiu really wanted to...
"Da Li, how about..."
Tan Pei was only halfway through her words when Wu Xiu had already adjusted herself, "Don't force the child!"
Wu Xiu said righteously, "The child is so old now and has his own plans. You told me before that we as parents should learn to let go, how come you can't do it?"
Tan Pei was speechless for a moment.
[Puff.]
Tan Pei looked at Tan Li strangely.
She had a faint smile on her lips and her eyebrows were slightly curved.
Tan Li raised her thumb, "Mom, you are right!"
Wu Xiu couldn't help but look proud.
Tan Pei pondered secretly. He originally thought that Tan Li's inner voice was deliberately meant for them to hear, but now it seems that maybe... not entirely?
At the same time, Tan Li also glanced at Tan Pei.
She rolled her eyes and leaned back on the sofa.
[Whatever~]
Maybe because she had been tortured by Tan Xinman several times before and forgot to suppress her inner voice, Tan Li suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether her inner voice was heard by Wu Xiu and Tan Pei. So
what if they heard it? They can't eat her.
On the contrary, she took it too seriously and had to keep her mind focused every day so that she wouldn't be read by others. It's like...
killing a chicken with a butcher knife!
This real world is as peaceful as a large flower field. There is really no need to hold herself to the standards of the previous infinite flow world.
Tan Li felt that she was already tired enough, and there was no need to make trouble for herself over these trivial matters.
She stretched out on the sofa, and leisurely cut a string in her brain that had been stretched tight.
[Retire, retire! Retire from today! ]
Then, she hummed out of tune, which made Tan Pei and Wu Xiu stunned.
The two exchanged glances: What... happened?
Tan Pei and Wu Xiu had hardly seen Tan Li's inner voice erupt on such a large scale. If Tan Xinman was here, she could still say with experience, don't panic, it's a small scene.
Tan Li saw the eye-to-eye dispute between Wu Xiu and the others, and her humming stopped——
[Tan Xinman has confessed, why are you two still pretending?]
After saying this, she didn't care that Tan Pei and Wu Xiu were both shocked, and continued to sing her own song about retiring and lying down.
Tan Pei was not the type to avoid, and after thinking for a while, she spoke carefully, "Da Li, you..."
"No need to say more!" Tan Li waved her hand, "Isn't it just that I heard some of your thoughts?"
"It's okay, it's a small problem, I don't mind, and you'd better not mind it. If you mind, adjust yourself."
At this point, Tan Li suddenly paused and narrowed her eyes.
Tan Pei's heart immediately lifted up.
Who knew that Tan Li showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, closed her mouth -
[Hey! Why didn't I notice it before!]
[If you can read my mind, I don't need to speak!]
[Oh my God! Is there any skill that is more friendly to the late stage of laziness than this? 】
She looked at Tan Pei and Wu Xiu, [Hey~ Then I will talk to you directly in my mind from now on~ No need to open my mouth, really! Why did I only realize it today! I am so stupid! 】
[La la la la~ No need to worry about a sore throat from talking too much in the future~ Not bad! Your mind-reading ability is simply amazing! 】
As she said, she raised a thumbs up to Tan Pei and Wu Xiu to show her affirmation.
[Oh, it's a pity that we can only do this at home. If we can do this anytime and anywhere, wouldn't I be happy? Hahahahahaha! 】
[That's right! I'm not the one who can read minds, why should I worry! 】
【I don't need to manage my facial expressions~ la la la la~】
Tan Pei and Wu Xiu listened to Tan Li's endless inner voice, and their heads were buzzing for a moment.
No, what happened? Is this how things turned out?
Tan Pei sincerely felt that it was a waste of time for him to have so many thoughts about mind reading. Moreover, no one had told him that his daughter, who seemed cold and heartless, had a hundred sparrows living in her heart!
**
In the next few days, Tan Li seemed to have let herself go, letting her inner voice fly freely every day.
After a week, not to mention that Tan Pei was forced to go back to work in the company to hide away, even Wu Xiu felt a little weak and wanted to be alone.
It's still the same to kiss your daughter, but she's too noisy. She's getting older now, and she can't stand the chattering every day.
Only Tan Li is cheerful.
It happened that this time, Tong Jing came to Tan Li for something.
Tong Jing: "Boss, Director Li and Director Ruan of the game company both said they want to talk to you about something."
Tan Li: [Ah? What can't you solve? ]
Tong Jing was originally waiting for Tan Li's answer obediently, but after waiting for a long time, it was still quiet, and she couldn't help but quietly look up at Tan Li.
Tan Li then realized that this ability to read minds seems to be only possessed by Tan's family.
Tan Li: ...Speaking the truth, why can't the whole world read my mind? Then I don't have to say anything!
Seeing Tan Li shaking her head regretfully, Tong Jing couldn't help feeling a little nervous, "What, what happened?"
"What do they want from me?" Helplessly, Tan Li could only open her dignified mouth.
Seeing that she looked normal, Tong Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Director Li wanted to discuss with you about sponsoring the talent show. They have launched a large-scale joint event and plan to hold it simultaneously with the talent show. They want to report the specific plan to you. If you have any opinions, you can make adjustments immediately."
"As for Director Ruan, he has already made the script and character design of the horror game, and he also wants you to take a look."
Tan Li didn't even think about it, "For such a small matter, let them decide for themselves."
"Is it because I didn't pay them enough that they can't make all the decisions themselves?" Tan Li couldn't help but murmured.
Tong Jing stood aside, looking normal, but she thought in her heart: Is there a possibility that you gave them too much money, so they dare not make all the decisions themselves? The more
Tan Li thought about it, the more she felt it made sense. "Xiao Tong, how about this? Look at how much money is left in my account and give them some."
"Let them learn to think independently and stop thinking about bothering the boss all the time."
Tong Jing quickly calculated in her mind, minus the investment amount that the talent show had to account for the largest investor, the necessary operating funds for the Children's Welfare Foundation, the previously increased investment ratio in the game company, and the real estate investment in various places...
"Okay, boss, no problem, boss!" Tong Jing quickly calculated the answer. Tong
Jing was not paid for nothing during this period. It was mostly because Tan Li had handed over all her property to her without hesitation. During this period, Tong Jing made multi-faceted and multi-dimensional investments for her assets without disturbing Tan Li.
Although some fixed asset investments or option investments do not yield returns so quickly, there are still some short-term projects that can be used for capital turnover, ensuring that Tan Li will never be in an awkward situation of not having enough money when she wants to use it.
Tan Li only needs to be responsible for a peaceful life, and she will solve all the problems.
Tan Li was very satisfied with Tong Jing's answer without hesitation.
As soon as she was satisfied, she wanted to give Tong Jing a raise, "Xiao Tong, I think your current salary is not worthy of your labor. So, when you go to the game company to increase your salary, also increase your salary."
"Also, don't do everything by yourself. If you have nothing to do, you can hire a few assistants. Don't think about doing things that can be handed over to others all day long."
Maybe her heart has been free recently, and Tan Li now talks more than before.
Tong Jing doesn't want someone to compete with her for the position of the top supervisor next to Tan Li, but on second thought, she may have some shortcomings alone.
"Okay, boss."
Tong Jing thought that she had to recruit a more professional team for Tan Li so that she could better manage Tan Li's property.
Seeing her serious and responsible look, Tan Li silently shut up.
Another person who loves work, respect and blessing.
Tan Li only gave Tong Jing a thumbs up to express praise.
Tong Jing thought Tan Li was praising her again, and she couldn't help but touch the back of her head in embarrassment.
After touching her, she thought of another important matter, "By the way, boss, the program team of the talent show contacted me this morning and said that the first performance will be held next weekend. I want to ask if you want to go and see it?"
