Li Bingchen thought for a moment, scratched his head, and then shook his head, saying, "I didn't really notice. She must be new. I didn't see her name clearly just now." As he spoke, he explained to Yun Duo, "Her name on her work ID is too small, and her number is more noticeable."
“But it doesn’t sound good.” Yun Duo looked at Li Bingchen and said persuasively, “Although I also think that a name is just a code, a number is still too unpleasant to hear. People are not machines. Even if it’s for the convenience of management to assign employee numbers, it shouldn’t be called like this directly.”
“If I were constantly being called G16 or Z28, I would definitely be unhappy. It’s not like I don’t have a name. She would probably feel the same way.”
Li Bingchen nodded thoughtfully.
When the servant returned, she made sure to check which servant's name was on their name tag before thanking them: "Thank you, Tian Ying. You've worked hard."
The servant named Tian Ying was clearly taken aback for a moment, then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, forming a smile. Although she quickly suppressed it, she seemed much more lively and her eyes were much softer than before.
"Serving His Highness is my duty."
His tone was not much different from before, still respectful and rigid, but the coldness was much less, and it sounded much gentler.
Li Bingchen was puzzled. After Yun Duo swallowed the digestive tablets, he couldn't help but look at her and ask, "It's just a name, why did she react so strongly?"
Instead of answering Li Bingchen's question first, Yun Duo deliberately asked, "Is it better or worse than before?"
Li Bingchen immediately nodded: "Of course it's even better, it's more like a living person." As he spoke, he was stunned for a moment, and then muttered to himself, "She was a living person to begin with."
Yun Duo nodded and continued, "That's right. She is a living, breathing person, and of course she wants to receive the respect that a living, breathing person deserves. Although it's just a form of address, calling someone by the name their parents gave them, a name that has been with them for a long time, versus being called by a cold, impersonal number, it's definitely easier for the name to make people feel respected."
"I'm just an ordinary person. I'll treat you the way you treat me. If you respect me, I'll naturally respect you in return. If you don't respect me, even if I show you respect on the surface, I won't truly respect you in my heart."
Li Bingchen's face gradually became serious. After a while, he nodded solemnly and said, "I was wrong before, but I know what I should do from now on."
Knowing that Li Bingchen was serious, Yun Duo was genuinely happy and couldn't help but give him a big smile.
Looking at Yun Duo's smiling face, Li Bingchen seemed to be praised, and subconsciously straightened his small body even more, but then he couldn't help but show a little shyness.
He was bigger than the clouds, so why did the clouds have to remind him? However, despite his embarrassment, he wasn't annoyed. He just felt that this little girl was wonderful; no wonder he felt comfortable the moment he saw her.
However, still feeling a little embarrassed, Li Bingchen thought for a moment and then changed the subject: "How's your stomach? Is it still bloated and uncomfortable?"
