Chapter 8 The Real Daughter Doesn't Want to Work Hard Anymore

Mingnan wiped the water off his hands, picked up the phone and said, "Hello, how are you?"

There was silence for a while before the other side spoke, "It's me."

Hearing this familiar voice, Mingnan looked at the phone in surprise. Mu Yanshan?

"You looking for me?"

"If I don't look for you, you won't call me."

Mingnan let out an "ah" in confusion.

Why does this sound sour?

Mu Yanshan: "..."

There was a short, heavy breath.

After a moment, he sighed helplessly, "You said you would thank me, but you still want me, the creditor, to take the initiative to ask for repayment?"

Ming Nan's face slightly heated up when he mentioned this. "I wanted to treat you to a meal after I got paid, but I'm short of money and can't really ask for it."

“When will the salary be paid?”

A hand immediately stretched out from the side and made the number "six".

Mingnan smiled and glanced at Tang Su, "There are still six days."

"Okay." Mu Yanshan's voice became lighter, "Then see you in six days."

"What do you want to eat?" Mingnan opened his cell phone and added a to-do item to his memo: Invite the pastoral creditor to dinner.

Mu Yanshan said with a hint of smile: "I'm not picky about food, it depends on what you want to eat. After all, it's your payday, you should celebrate for yourself."

Mingnan thought about it and added a sentence at the end: hot pot.

"Can you eat spicy food?"

Mu Yanshan: “Yes.”

Mingnan changed it to: spicy hot pot.

"It's settled then. Remember to call me when you get off work that day." Mingnan asked the creditor tentatively, "Anything else?"

"Yes, our company has an event today and we need some bouquets. Remember to wrap them nicely and have someone deliver them to us."

Mingnan immediately took out a pen and paper. "What flowers? How many?"

There was silence again, as if he was calculating. After a while, Mu Yanshan said, "It's a bit complicated. I'll send it to you via WeChat."

Before Mingnan could remind him that they didn't have WeChat, Mu Yanshan asked, "What's your WeChat ID?"

Mingnan said a string of numbers consciously, and the next moment her cell phone rang.

"Did you see it?"

Mingnan opened the WeChat application and saw that Mu Yanshan’s WeChat name was just an “m” and his avatar was a snow-white Samoyed.

She asked, "Is this Samaya you?"

Mu Yanshan: “.”

"No, I mean, is this Samoyed head of you?"

Mu Yanshan's somewhat helpless voice came through the receiver, a little distorted and even deeper, "Yes, let it go through."

"good."

Mu Yanshan hung up the phone only after Mingnan added him on WeChat.

Without waiting for her to ask, Mu Yanshan immediately sent a series of requests, clearly marked by serial numbers.

Without even looking up, she said to Tang Su, "Come on, Tangtang, let's divide the work. I'll do the first five, and you'll do the last five. I'll send you a copy of the requirements."

After she finished speaking, she didn't hear any response, so she raised her head in confusion and met Tang Su's gossipy eyes.

Mingnan: “???”

Tang Su grabbed her arm and said, "Nannan, tell me the truth. Who is it? She has a nice voice."

Mingnan felt a little uncomfortable, "Just an ordinary... friend?"

She paused. In fact, she was not sure whether she and Mu Yanshan were friends.

After all, they had met only a handful of times, and neither of them had introduced themselves properly.

That doesn’t count, they also had a dinner date.

If we have dinner together, we are friends, right?

"Really?" Tang Su didn't believe it, narrowed his eyes and looked at her ambiguously, "An ordinary friend would still try every means to add you on WeChat?"

"Ah?" Mingnan was stunned. "He wanted to give me the details."

"Yes, yes, yes." Tang Su let go of her, counting on his fingers, and said, "He has a platform but doesn't use it. He calls the store's landline and asks you out for dinner. After the date, he says he wants to buy flowers. Then he says he has many requests and asks you to add him on WeChat. He could have stated them verbally, but he went through the trouble. Tsk tsk tsk, think about it carefully~"

Mingnan was stunned by what she said, and actually felt that it made a lot of sense!

【205! What do you think? 】

205: [I don’t think so, hehe~]

Mingnan: [……]

I think you're a bit of a jerk.

Mingnan thought about Mu Yanshan’s cold eyes and shook his head. He decided not to think too much about it. It would be too embarrassing if he was just being sentimental.

So she explained it to Tang Su again.

Tang Su was half-believing and half-doubting, and didn't say anything else, just asked her to be careful.

Mingnan laughed, "I'm not a fairy, nor am I RMB. How could I fall in love with her after only seeing her a few times?"

*

The six busy days passed in the blink of an eye.

Mingnan was still a little confused when he was woken up by the alarm clock.

She picked up her phone and saw the alarm note: Invite the creditor to dinner.

She smiled at the message and all her sleepiness disappeared.

Tang Su had teased her before, thinking that Mu Yanshan had added her on WeChat on purpose, but in the past six days, apart from the details of flower purchases he sent at the beginning, Mu Yanshan had not contacted her again.

It turns out I was overthinking it.

Mingnan breathed a sigh of relief and got up to wash.

On the way to the flower shop, her salary was credited to her account. It was a little more than she expected. She took a screenshot and sent it to her boss to thank him. The boss said that she worked hard and was able to retain customers. In the half month since she came, the flower shop's performance had increased significantly, so he gave her an extra bonus.

Mingnan was touched, happy and full of energy.

The sun is shining brightly today, and her life is getting better and better.

Unable to contain her inner joy, she took a photo of the little sunflower and posted it on her Moments, with the caption: How wonderful.

Then she put her phone down to arrange the flowers and didn’t notice the Samoyed profile picture and immediately clicked “like”.

When she saw that it was already lunch time, she ignored Mu Yanshan's comments.

Just as I was about to put down my phone to eat, the screen suddenly lit up and the words "Ming Yu" suddenly came into view.

Mingnan's hand paused, and he hesitated for a moment when he heard his cell phone ringing.

The ringing continued for a long time, and even Tang Su looked over. Ming Nan thought about it and finally answered it. "Hello?"

Mingyu didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Where are you?"

Mingnan felt like laughing when asked this question. She looked at the rice in the box and said casually, "I'm working."

Mingyu: "...I asked you where you are!"

"At work, what's going on? What can I do for you, Mr. Ming?"

Ming Nan's tone was distant and polite, which made Ming Yu furious. But when he thought of what Mu Yanshan said, he suppressed his anger and said, "You've been gone for so many days, you should calm down now, right? Let's talk."

"I have always been very calm. Every decision I make is carefully considered. I think there is no need for us to talk, and there is nothing to talk about. If you have nothing to say, I will hang up first."

Mingnan was about to hang up the phone, but Mingyu couldn't help yelling, "What do you want? Do you want us to apologize to you?"

"Yes, we did ignore your feelings before, but you should also think about us. We suddenly have a new relative, and it will definitely take time to accept it. Huaishu has been in our family for 18 years, and we have watched her grow up. We can't possibly -"

Mingnan was too lazy to listen and just hung up.

Mingyu didn't react until he heard a beep from his phone. He stared at the lit screen in disbelief. Ning Lan beside him also widened his eyes. "She hung up?"
