Chapter 3: The Vain Male Wife of the Domineering Boss
Lin Zhi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of milk, from which she could see the small garden.
But the night obscures the beauty of the flowers, and everything at the edge of sight becomes blurred.
But in Lin Zhi's eyes, the scenery is also very good.
01 muttered happily: [That’s great, there is progress, but the task target didn’t agree to your request, how cold! 】
Lin Zhi smiled but didn't respond.
His goal had been achieved, and he didn't really want to add money, it was just a little trick.
The next day, when Lin Zhi woke up, she found that 100,000 yuan had been transferred into her card.
Mingyao is so efficient, so Lin Zhi naturally punched in on time when she visited the old man with pay.
But the old man doesn't need him to be with him all the time. Visiting him every now and then is companionship, but staying all the time would be a bit annoying. Lin Zhi has always been good at knowing when to stop.
The next time he went to the old man's place, he was no longer just there to keep people company.
Old Master Ming looked at Lin Zhi who seemed to be concentrating on studying something, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"I want to do something. Staying at home all day is not a solution. I am thinking about whether I should go out and find a job."
Lin Zhi threw out the lead as if he was chatting with an elder.
The old man's mind was in turmoil when he heard this. His first thought was that it was not difficult to find a job, he could arrange it at will. But then he changed his mind and wondered where his granddaughter-in-law wanted to work. Could it be the group headquarters? Are you waiting for him to ask and get it done?
Lin Zhi didn't wait for the old man to speak before continuing, "But I feel so tired, and the salary is not high. After all, I am working for others."
He sighed softly: "I know my idea is wrong, but I may have been spoiled by Mingyao."
A person who had just graduated and found her first job in the capital with an internship salary of 5,000 yuan, suddenly married into a wealthy family and could earn 200,000 yuan a month without doing anything, living in a luxurious villa, and being picked up by luxury cars when going out. There are not many people who can remain unconfused by such a situation, and the original owner is not one of them.
The old man that Lin Zhi was thinking of naturally also thought of it. There was a complicated look in his cloudy eyes. He was considering how to start the conversation, thinking about the meaning of Lin Zhi's words.
He was not senile and it was impossible for him to arrange a job for Lin Zhi and parachute him into the management level. However, it was not impossible for him to let Lin Zhi be the boss in some unimportant place. He was just wondering whether he should do so and what his grandson would think if he did so.
Lin Zhi then continued, "So I decided to start a business. Well, it can't really be called a business. I saw a small company that was about to go bankrupt, and I was thinking about whether I should buy it and start a business. I don't need your financial support, but I want you to help me with some advice and see if it's possible."
The old man's thoughts were really twisted and turned as Lin Zhi said these words. When he heard the last sentence, he felt quite guilty for having made bad assumptions about others.
"Come, show me what company you're planning to buy. If it's not doing well, you can save it, but don't go clean up other people's messes."
The waters are deep in every industry, but the losses in business are real money.
After seeing the business that Lin Zhi was planning to do, Mr. Ming was speechless.
"That's it? Ice cream?"
A small ice cream factory that has gone bankrupt. It was once a popular brand that could be found everywhere in the streets and alleys, but it had long been unable to be sold in places like supermarkets due to packaging and price issues. It could only occupy a place in convenience stores. However, as its market share was squeezed, its turnover gradually decreased, and even its factory buildings were reduced in size. Now it is almost disappearing.
The old man thought to himself that it was no wonder that his granddaughter-in-law suggested buying the property, as he could indeed afford the price by himself.
"I don't recommend this. You won't make much money. You might as well go work in a company. I'll have someone arrange a position for you where you can learn something."
The old man can think of several marketing plans for this factory, and he can even win back the market as long as there is capital investment, but there is no need for that at all. Moreover, if the appearance is not changed and the company continues to follow the affordable route, it will be difficult to launch other lines later. If the company wants to play the sentimental card, it must not let the sentiment change.
"Grandpa, what you said means that this can be done. Thank you for planning for me, but I still want to try my best."
This is Lin Zhi's plan. If he wants to enter Mingyao's field, he must be able to catch his eye. No roundabout way is as direct as this one. After all, Lin Zhi is not a real business novice.
He did this in front of the old man, of course, because he wanted the old man to support him after he made some achievements and to get more recognition from Mingyao.
The closer you are, the more secrets you can know, such as Mingyao's legs, his missing father, and the knot in his heart that makes him unwilling to stand up. These are things that cannot be pried into now.
He knew that no matter how hard the ice cream factory tried to turn around, it would not be able to achieve any amazing results. But this was just a step. If people's expectations were lowered infinitely, the effect of the turnaround would be more significant. Not to mention that the old man was already a little concerned about him, so this result would be filtered.
Old Master Ming looked at Lin Zhi's shining eyes and felt the young man's persistence.
He suddenly thought of Mingyao many years ago. Although there was no light in that child's eyes, he was determined to take on the burden.
"Okay, let's give it a try. After all, you are still young and have plenty of opportunities to make mistakes. Besides, if you don't try, you won't even have a chance to succeed. It's better to feel it for yourself."
Teaching others a hundred times may not work, but teaching things once is often enough.
After leaving a trace of this matter with the old man, Lin Zhi began to prepare for it.
He investigated for some time and only decided to take action after talking to the old man. There is no wall in the world that is impenetrable. He would not do it in advance because of his confidence and make his performance in vain and make the people watching his performance uncomfortable.
These days, no one is willing to work hard to earn a little money. When Lin Zhi went to negotiate, the boss thought he was being taken advantage of.
Lin Zhi knew that he had quoted a high price and planned to bargain for more.
At the turn of spring and summer, Lin Zhi signed the contract. The boss, who couldn't wait, gave a suitable price and even some discounts. Lin Zhi didn't intend to be a black-hearted capitalist, so he made the deal with him.
The first summer rain came suddenly with muffled thunder. The weather station issued a heavy rain warning, and heavy rain fell soon after.
The temperature drops sharply at night, making people feel cold to the bone.
Lin Zhi thought of Mingyao's legs and sent a message to the old man.
[Lin Zhi]: Grandpa, it’s raining heavily, remember to cover yourself with a blanket at night.
[Grandpa]: I know. I’m not senile yet.
[Lin Zhi]: Does Mingyao's leg hurt now? Is it serious? Should I take care of it?
[Grandpa]: That child definitely doesn’t want you to go.
[Lin Zhi]: Yes.
It means it will hurt.
Lin Zhi walked out of the room in her pajamas and walked up the stairs to the fifth floor.
He only confirmed what the old man said, but didn't say he wouldn't go.
01 A little nervous: [Host, will we be thrown out? 】
[Unless he has both legs intact...well...I mean not. 】
Lin Zhi judged this possibility based on the actual situation.
It could be that Mingyao had any individual disease, but he just has difficulty in moving, so that's embarrassing.
The knock on the door was not clear in the heavy rain. Mingyao lay on the bed, looking at the documents in his hand and looking towards the door.
No one would disturb him unless there was a special situation. Mingyao turned the page of the document and said, "Come in."
The young man who came in was wearing early summer pajamas, and his legs were straight under the loose pajamas.
Mingyao didn't ask his purpose, he raised his eyes and said, "Get out."
Lin Zhi did not retreat but moved forward and closed the bedroom door.
"Your legs might hurt on a rainy day, so Grandpa asked me to check on you."
"After you've read it, you can leave now. Don't ever step foot on the fifth floor again."
The soreness and pain in his legs had already made Mingyao feel a little bad, and the feeling of strangers invading his private space was even more unbearable for him.
"I came here with a mission. If you are unwilling to raise my price, don't hinder me from making money."
Lin Zhi did not deliberately show goodwill, but just gave the signal that he had no intention.
His words were vague, so Mingyao would naturally understand that he came with the mission of visiting his grandfather in order to get the reward from his grandfather.
When Mingyao saw Lin Zhi lifting the quilt and lying on his bed, his expression was already frighteningly cold. His upbringing prevented him from supporting his upper body and pushing someone down, and veins bulged on his forehead.
01 Doudousuo: [Host, is it okay for us to be like this? 】
No matter how you look at it, it feels like he's going to be assassinated!
Lin Zhi said calmly: [Appropriate offense can shorten the distance. 】
For those who must be redeemed, the bottom line needs to be tested, and it needs to be tested back and forth so that the plan and the next direction can be adjusted in time.
Human hearts are complicated and hard to describe. You may make mistakes if you try, but you can’t not try because you are afraid of making mistakes.
The atmosphere was in a stalemate, but half a minute later, Mingyao realized that the stalemate might be unilateral on his part.
Because Lin Zhi didn't even look at him. The man who inexplicably ran to his bed never took his eyes off the screen of his mobile phone and didn't even look at him twice.
How shameless, Mingyao thought angrily.
Not wanting to ask for her to leave, Mingyao planned to ask the servant to come up and take Lin Zhi out.
"I'll be leaving soon. You don't have to chase me away. I won't stay any longer."
Lin Zhi added a few words as if he had time, still without looking up, concentrating on looking at his phone.
The rain outside was getting heavier, hitting the windows.
Mingyao's face was still covered with frost. Even though Lin Zhi didn't say anything, the feeling of having someone around him still made him uncomfortable. He was so in no mood to even read the documents in his hand.
There was an unignorable pain in the calf below the knee, a feeling Ming Yao had long been accustomed to. In this kind of weather, he would always be in a bad mood and would uncontrollably recall some old things, but today his thoughts were repeatedly interrupted.
The sound of fingers tapping the screen is subtle, but it is particularly obvious in the quiet room.
When Mingyao could no longer bear it, Lin Zhika spoke up: "There are still three minutes left. Grandpa is very worried about you. Find some time to have dinner with him."
Mingyao was obviously a little speechless when faced with the old man who cared about him.
As soon as the three minutes were up, Lin Zhi immediately lifted the quilt and left.
Before leaving, he did not forget to take a photo of Mingyao.
"Crossover."
Lin Zhi shook her phone and left without any reluctance.
After he left, Mingyao's brows were still furrowed.
The bed was left with the scent of another person, a sweet and irritating aroma.
