At eight o'clock in the morning, Lai Leshi sat in Gu Yiyuan's office with an unhappy look on her face: "Why do you go to work at eight o'clock, but Aunt Tiantian has to go to work at nine?"
Someone who asked Su Tiantian to arrive before nine o'clock didn't think he was making excuses: "She starts work at nine o'clock anyway. She's not an employee of this company."
Lai Leshi pouted and said in a baby voice, "Uncle Yiyi, please call Aunt Tiantian quickly and ask her to come early."
Gu Yiyuan's voice was calm, but his eyes looking at Lai Leshi were full of doting: "Okay, I'll call her and ask her to come quickly. However, Shishi, I have to explain to you first, her home is quite a distance from the company by car, so it may not be that fast."
Lai Mengshi sat on Gu Yiyuan's knees and said, "Let's make a video call. I want to see if she is picking flowers for me."
Gu Yiyuan held Lai Leshi in his arms while answering the phone, "That might not be the case. She might have asked her husband to pick them, and her husband might have asked someone else to pick them."
The call was connected and Su Tiantian appeared in the camera.
Lai Leshi said excitedly: "Auntie Tiantian, where are you?"
Su Tiantian didn't expect that it was Gu Yiyuan who called her. She saw Gu Yiyuan and Lai Leshi: "Good morning, Shishi. Are you going to work with Uncle Yiyi?"
Lai Leshi said, "Dad and Uncle Li have something to do, so they asked me to follow Uncle Yiyi. Uncle Yiyi is at work now. When will you arrive?"
Su Tiantian moved the camera of her phone: "Shishi, look."
The scene reflected in the camera is a lotus pond with densely packed green lotus leaves. The lotus flowers bloom in the early morning, the red ones are gorgeous and the white ones are pure, just like a graceful girl standing on the water. The green leaves of the lotus flowers are reflected in the water, as colorful as an oil painting.
The pickers wore long shirts and trousers and rowed small boats.
Lai Leshi exclaimed: "It's very beautiful. I really want to see it."
It is indeed beautiful. Gu Yiyuan also admits that the beauty of the lotus leaves, lotus flowers and lotus pods together is indeed beautiful. The pastoral scenery is poetic. Su Tiantian is actually holding an oil painting umbrella, which is really appropriate for the scene.
Su Tiantian said, "Shishi, the lotus flowers are beautiful, but picking them is not easy. They won't let me go down to pick them. I asked them to pick some lotus pods and bring them to you."
Lai Leshi's eyes were filled with anticipation: "What time will you arrive?"
Su Tiantian said, "About half an hour. It takes 20 minutes to drive to the company, and I still have to pack my things."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yiyuan said, "Shishi, are you satisfied? Can you come over there to play? Uncle Yiyi has to work."
Lai Leshi blinked her beautiful big eyes and said, "Then find someone to play with me."
Gu Yiyuan looked up at the two assistants and two secretaries standing beside him. His tone was certainly very different from his usual work style. At this moment, he was really gentle: "Shishi, these are Uncle Yiyi's assistants and secretaries. Which one do you want to play with you?"
Lai Leshi looked up at Peng Jianyue, Jiang Xiaoying, Luo Sisi, Yan Mingyue and the other four people. She spoke childishly but had no idea that her words were causing so many people's hearts to ache: "Why do you have so many assistants and secretaries? Look at my dad. Uncle Li is enough for him."
Gu Yiyuan had a high opinion of Li Wentong, the general manager's assistant. "Assistant Li is indeed smart, capable, and attentive. Although your father only has one assistant, the general manager's office does have clerks."
Lai Leshi's eyes flickered over the four people and she said, "Three aunts and one uncle, which one should I choose to play with me?"
The three unmarried women had different reactions when they heard the title "Auntie".
Jiang Xiaoying's face was calm and she said nothing, showing no emotion.
Luo Sisi's face was calm. Since Su Tiantian could be called Aunt Tiantian, and she was one year older than Su Tiantian, it was normal for her to be called Aunt.
Yan Mingyue acted soft and weak, and said in a sweet voice: "Shishi, why don't I play with you? What do you want to play?"
Lai Leshi looked at her a little strangely: "You call me Shishi, it seems you called me Shishi yesterday too?"
She turned to Gu Yiyuan and said, "Uncle Yiyi, who is she? Why does she call me Shishi?"
Gu Yiyuan faced Lai Leshi's smiling face, and when he looked up at Yan Mingyue, his tone became a little sharp: "Call me Miss Lai."
Yan Mingyue seemed frightened, her expression a bit pitiful: "Ms. Lai."
Unfortunately, her boss Gu Yiyuan was not moved by this expression. His tone was polite but with a hint of disdain: "Not everyone can call her Shishi."
Luo Sisi smiled and said, "Miss Lai, can I play with you?"
Lai Leshi asked, "Can you braid your hair?"
Luo Sisi said: "I only know simple ones."
Lai Leshi said, "Then you can help me with the injection. Uncle Yiyi doesn't know how to do it, and dad isn't here."
Gu Yiyuan, who couldn't braid his hair, lost his temper: "Okay, it's my fault. I will definitely learn it in the future. Our Miss Shishi, please don't be angry, otherwise, I will scold you young ladies from the Lai family."
Lai Leshi got up from Gu Yiyuan's knees, put her hands on her hips and said, "Uncle Yiyi, forget it. My aunt said you're very busy. You can use your brain, but you can't do these little things with your hands."
Gu Yiyuan asked with great interest: "What else did your aunt say about me?"
Lai Lok-shi said without hesitation: "My father is so much older than you, but he is not as smart as you. However, my father is self-aware."
Gu Yiyuan's words of comfort came out of his mouth, and his tone was full of sincerity: "Who said Shishi's father is not smart? Otherwise, how could he have given birth to such a smart, lovely and beautiful daughter like Shishi?"
Lai Leshi took Luo Sisi's hand and said, "It's good enough that Uncle Yiyi likes me and spoils me. You are the man I like besides Dad and Grandpa. Dad said that Uncle Yiyi has been very cute since he was a child. He doesn't have a biological brother, so he can't wait to run to the Gu family every day. He even wanted to bring you back to the Lai family, but he got beaten up in the end."
Gu Yiyuan looked at the quirky Lai Leshi and spoke in a deep, authoritative voice, "This Miss Lai is the eldest daughter of my fourth brother Lai. The fourth brother Lai I'm talking about, Lai Jianhao, is a shareholder of Dinghui Company. Since you are my employees, I hope you will respect her as you would treat me. Don't think she's easy to coax or deceive just because she's young."
The two assistants and two secretaries in the office quickly bowed their heads and said, "Got it, Mr. Gu."
Lai Leshi was not frightened by Gu Yiyuan's sudden and powerful words, and stood firmly.
