Wen Zhaonian raised an eyebrow and lowered his gaze to her, noticing a strand of long, black hair falling from her loosely tied low ponytail.
The hand draped over his trouser leg twitched, and when he spoke again, his voice was somewhat low: "What is it?"
Li Tangyan followed behind him, and only opened her mouth after he sat down on the sofa in the living room.
When he looked up at me, I unconsciously curled my hands behind my back: "I hope you can consider the interview."
"If there is a time conflict, we can coordinate."
Wen Zhaonian looked at the person standing in front of him with a stern face and a businesslike demeanor, and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
When he spoke again, Li Tangyan vaguely sensed that he seemed somewhat displeased.
What if I'm not prepared to consider it?
"..." Li Tangyan pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable when she met Wen Zhaonian's burning gaze: "As for the conditions, everything is negotiable."
She had never liked being in such a "confrontation" with Wen Zhaonian, so her last sentence almost exhausted her last bit of courage.
After saying that, Li Tangyan thought that if Wen Zhaonian still didn't agree, she would rather ask Xiao Yi to find someone else to negotiate than say another word to him.
The quiet atmosphere, coupled with Wen Zhaonian's silence, made her feel as if the air around her had thinned out.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Tangyan was the first to look away when her fingertips dug into the flesh of her palm.
He lowered his voice and said, "Never mind, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he prepared to turn and leave.
At the same time, as the person behind him stood up from the sofa, his soft snort became clearer as Wen Zhaonian approached.
The moment she opened her mouth, Li Tangyan felt her heart skip a beat: "Is this how you negotiate a deal? You're already planning to run away before we've even started."
As soon as Wen Zhaonian finished speaking, Li Tangyan turned around.
As that familiar scent filled her nostrils, she realized that the two of them were quite close. Not to mention, because the man bent down slightly, Li Tangyan almost bumped into his chin.
In an instant, Li Tangyan felt her face get slightly hot.
I can't tell if my attention was completely diverted by his words, or if I just didn't realize what he meant.
Before they could even create some distance between them, they looked up and met Wen Zhaonian's gaze.
Her eyes lit up, as if she had caught a glimpse of the possibility in his words, and the corners of her eyes unconsciously curved upwards: "So you mean you agree?"
Under her gaze, her fair face was slightly flushed, and her round almond-shaped eyes were slightly wide open.
It's like a rabbit that only grabbed a carrot, except it's no longer as dejected as it was before it came.
As she thought about it, a small smile appeared on her thin lips.
He didn't stand up immediately; his softened tone was still quite grainy as he asked, "When are you going back to report?"
Li Tangyan thought he was worried about wasting time, so she quickly explained, "About half a month."
After saying that, fearing he might change his mind, she quickly added, "However, if you're worried about wasting time and want to move the schedule forward, I can return to work earlier."
However, not long after she finished speaking, Li Tangyan saw him raise an eyebrow, and before she could react, the shadow that had been hanging over her receded.
Wen Zhaonian straightened up and took a step back. While Li Tangyan was still in a daze, he chuckled and said, "In that case, come to the law firm and be a free assistant for a while."
"Didn't they say you could name your terms? Then this one will do."
"...."
I told you to be open to discussing your terms, but I didn't tell you to name your own!
"Um... have you two finished talking?" Xing Mingming's voice came from behind.
Li Tangyan turned around and saw that she had a teasing look in her eyes, and she didn't know how long she had been standing behind her.
Li Tangyan felt her face flush as she was stared at. Even though Wen Zhaonian had already distanced himself from her, she still felt embarrassed as if she had been caught doing something.
Then, as if burying his head in the sand, he took another step back.
After finishing, he probably still felt it wasn't enough, so he simply turned around and headed towards Xing Mingming, as if he wanted to leave Wen Zhaonian standing there.
"Chestnut porridge".
However, before she could take a few steps, she heard Wen Zhaonian's voice slowly drifting over.
His words were tinged with a smile, carrying a hint of unspoken tenderness.
"!"
As Xing Mingming listened to Wen Zhaonian pronounce the name, the teasing in his eyes deepened, making Xing Mingming feel instantly caught in a dilemma.
At the same time, the footsteps behind them grew closer and the voices became clearer.
As if on purpose, seeing that Li Tangyan had no reaction, he suddenly stopped and his smile deepened.
"Chestnut porridge".
"You're not going to continue the talks?"
"!!"
Li Tangyan turned around and glared at him.
He then snorted, "No way! I'm sleepy."

After Li Tangyan left, Xing Mingming walked to Wen Zhaonian's side, nudged his forearm with her elbow, and asked, "Did you bully him?"
Wen Zhaonian lowered his head and glanced at Xing Mingming's expression.
It was somewhat amusing: "I'm still your own son, how can you not trust me that much?"
"That's hard to say."
Xing Mingming rolled her eyes at him, glanced at a certain spot on the second floor, and then added quietly.
"You were alright when you were little, but you've become a sly devil as you've grown up."
"..."
Li Tangyan didn't plan to stay in X City for too long, so after finishing her business, she prepared to pack her things and return to Z City.
