Chapter 56 That's my baby girl (Bonus Chapter)
When Shen Jingni rode horses at the club in the morning, she felt carefree and joyful.
But things are different when you return to the Zijing Tanyuan Garden.
Although there were countless moments of joy, it was also very tiring and bumpy.
Zhao Zonglan loved watching her ride on horseback. Whether she was being coquettish or crying, her fair and delicate face was flushed with a blush. She looked so pitiful, yet incredibly beautiful.
On the green grass, they exposed their true nature and acted recklessly.
This run has lasted too long.
Shen Jingni was so tired that she nestled in his arms and fell asleep, sobbing softly.
Several bloody scratches were left on Zhao Zonglan's abs by her fingernails.
She was still innocent, wanting to be touched to sleep.
Considering her leg pain, he stopped struggling and simply pressed his forehead against hers, sighing silently.
"Useless little thing."
Shen Jingni slept until 10 a.m. the next day.
Zhao Zonglan pulled the person out of the blanket.
"Get up and eat. There's a video conference coming up later, you can sit in on it."
Shen Jingni felt he was heartless.
People say that older people can be more caring, but he's a load of rubbish; all he does is exploit her.
He truly deserves to be called a top-tier capital tycoon.
They eat people without spitting out the bones.
"I don't want to." Every cell in her body was resisting; she wouldn't even let him touch her.
All she wants to do right now is meet with Zhou.
Zhao Zonglan stood by the bed, looking down at her, his deep eyes as black as night.
He calmly reminded her, "You were the one who said you would come to the meeting with me."
"Can't I change my mind now?" Shen Jingni said angrily. "Besides, last time I accompanied you to a meeting, you... you did that."
She can't handle it now.
Doing this a few more times will kill you.
Zhao Zonglan was amused by her words and patiently said, "I won't touch you today."
Shen Jingni looked at him warily, clearly not believing him.
He bent down, closing the distance between them, "Don't you want to study?"
Um?
Shen Jingni's eyes suddenly lit up. "You mean I can learn company management from you?"
She had this idea when she went to the headquarters of Jingyao Capital to find Zhao Zonglan before, but she didn't expect him to bring it up on his own initiative.
This is a rare learning opportunity.
It's something that others would beg for but can't get.
"Um."
Although Zhao Zonglan felt that her small workshop was meaningless and wouldn't make much money, he would support her because she liked it.
If he can raise her to be intelligent and outstanding, and help her reach a wider world, he will feel a great sense of accomplishment.
The flowers he nurtured with such care must surely be in full bloom.
Shen Jingni, who was angry just now, has lost her morning grumpiness. She hugs the man's neck and affectionately rubs her face against his, saying, "Brother, you're so good to me."
As she hugged and rubbed against him like that, the burning desire within Zhao Zonglan was reignited.
He grabbed the back of her neck, pulled her away, and said coldly, "Go wash up."
"Yes, ma'am."
In order to audit the classes, Shen Jingni made some preparations.
She asked Chang An to find her a pen and a notebook, but she preferred pretty notebooks and spent a long time choosing one.
As the saying goes, poor students have a lot of stationery. Shen Jingni was afraid that she would fall asleep, so she even had someone make her a cup of coffee.
Inside the study, Zhao Zonglan's computer was already connected to an online meeting.
He didn't turn on the camera.
Shen Jingni sat next to him, her hand gripping the pen tightly, completely focused, as if afraid of missing any important points.
However, as the meeting progressed, she found it increasingly difficult to listen.
Those who met with Zhao Zonglan were all senior executives of Jingyao, who were highly capable and quick-thinking.
She not only couldn't keep up, but she couldn't even understand what she was saying.
"Leveraged buyout," "synergies," "EBITDA"...
It feels like back in school, when a top student was explaining physics problems to a struggling student, and she couldn't even remember the basic formulas, let alone keep up with the top student's thinking.
She tried to understand, but it was a bit difficult.
Shen Jingni quietly raised her eyes to look at Zhao Zonglan.
He leaned back in his leather chair, a cigarette between his fingers, his expression aloof, listening intently to the report.
He occasionally asks questions or gives instructions in short sentences, and judging from the reactions of those in higher positions, he almost always gets to the heart of the matter and finds the key to the problem.
Seemingly noticing her gaze, Zhao Zonglan turned to look at her.
That beautiful notebook, from the beginning until now, has only had four words on it—"Study Record".
Her expression was blank, her eyes were vacant and lost, and she looked a little aggrieved.
Zhao Zonglan felt as if something had suddenly covered his heart.
It's so soft it's practically melting.
He seemed to understand something, and let out a deep, sexy laugh.
Then he leaned in and pulled her into his arms, saying, "How can you be so adorably silly?"
This feeling of embarrassment made Shen Jingni want to cry but had no tears.
He had his microphone on, and she didn't dare to speak, so she could only reach out and hit him.
It's all his fault.
Is this kind of high-level game something a newbie like her can get into?
Zhao Zonglan patted her head and gently comforted her, "It's my fault."
He hadn't expected that she wouldn't understand a word.
To put it bluntly and realistically, Zhao Zonglan had never encountered a novice like Shen Jingni in his work.
In business, he roughly knows where the upper limit of his capabilities lies, but the lower limit is not something he considers.
The people employed by Jingyao Capital are generally not from that region.
When the senior executives in the video conference heard Chairman Zhao laughing and apologizing, they could hardly believe their ears.
Chairman Zhao has always been aloof and abstinent, and he is even more strict and ruthless towards his subordinates. He has never been so gentle before.
The tone was like he was coaxing his girlfriend.
Everyone was curious about who this person was who could win Chairman Zhao's favor.
But their professional ethics compelled them to remain calm and composed, and they dared not discuss the matter too much.
Shen Jingni left before the meeting ended.
She felt like she had been outmaneuvered and decided to give up on her studies; she was going to give up.
A few minutes later, Zhao Zonglan ended the meeting.
He came out to appease people.
But the little girl was very spoiled and had a bad temper; she wouldn't even let him hold her.
"Zhao Zonglan, you just called me stupid."
Mr. Zhao felt wronged.
In the spacious corridor, he forcefully pulled her into his arms and coaxed, "That's a compliment to your cuteness."
Shen Jingni's anger subsided a bit after being coaxed, and she puffed out her cheeks haughtily, saying, "Hmph, I'm going back."
Go back and catch up on some sleep, just lie down.
As long as she didn't cause trouble, Zhao Zonglan would go along with her.
"Okay, I'll take you."
At this moment, Chang An came over to report: "Sir, Mr. Harvey has arrived."
The head of the California technology group who previously said he wanted to meet with Zhao Zonglan.
"Just send any car to take me," Shen Jingni said sweetly, not wanting to delay his work. "Go ahead and get busy."
Mr. Harvey, with his blond hair and blue eyes, came from the other end of the corridor.
He saw Mr. Zhao speaking gently to a pretty girl, and then watched her leave.
Western friends tend to be quite direct in their speech.
Mr. Harvey came over and shook hands with Zhao Zonglan.
After a brief greeting, he flashed a friendly, cheerful smile and asked meaningfully, "May I be so bold as to ask...was that your little sister?"
Zhao Zonglan's expression was indifferent, but a subtle doting look appeared in his eyes, and his tone was low.
"No. That's my baby girl."
