Chapter 6: A Happy Day I didn’t expect that when I picked up the pen, I would think of…
"Nuo Nuo! Are you okay? Did he do anything to you? Why did you come back so late? I was so worried!"
Only after seeing Cullinan drive away did Li Jinmiao dare to rush out from the shadows on the roadside and hugged Su Yinuo, which scared Su Yinuo.
Su Yinuo calmed down and patted Li Jinmiao on the back, comforting her: "Sister Miaomiao, it's okay, nothing happened. Mr. Qin is fine, don't worry."
"Good??"
Li Jinmiao let go of Su Yinuo and looked at her in disbelief, as if the words she said were an incomprehensible alien language.
Zhang Yifeng stepped forward and said, "Indeed, Vice President Qin's attitude towards Nuoruo is a little different tonight."
"Did he find out your identity?" Li Jinmiao became worried.
"No," Su Yinuo said, and after thinking carefully, he said affirmatively: "Really not, really, he never mentioned my identity."
"Let's talk while walking," Li Jinmiao took Su Yinuo's arm and walked towards Building 5 together. As they walked, he listened to Su Yinuo's story of what happened with Qin Cangye in the evening.
After returning to the office, she plopped down on the sofa and said in disbelief, "Did Qin Cangye drink fake wine today?"
"No, he didn't drink either." Su Yinuo answered seriously.
Zhang Yifeng on the side was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud.
Li Jinmiao couldn't figure out why Qin Cangye suddenly changed his attitude. Hearing Zhang Yifeng's laughter, she felt a little unhappy. She stood up and slapped Zhang Yifeng on the back, scolding him, "Still laughing? How dare you laugh? I told you to bring Nuonuo back safely, so how could you let Nuonuo get into that evil god's car? What if something happened?"
Zhang Yifeng didn't dodge at all, and took Li Jinmiao's palm forcefully. He groaned, then turned to look at her, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, President Li, I really don't have the courage to go against Vice President Qin."
"Why don't you have the guts? Didn't I tell you to go train your muscles?" Li Jinmiao grabbed Zhang Yifeng's upper arm, pinched it, frowned, and said, "No, where are the muscles? Lift weights for longer tomorrow."
Zhang Yifeng complained: "I've made great progress, I even have the beginnings of abdominal muscles."
"Really?" Li Jinmiao's face blossomed with surprise, and he reached out to pull Zhang Yifeng's shirt, "Let me see!"
Su Yinuo was stunned. Today was her first day meeting Zhang Yifeng. She had thought the gentle Zhang Yifeng was just a good and conscientious employee, but she had never expected that he was actually a wolfdog raised by Li Jinmiao.
Ah! That's wrong! You can't make subjective assumptions about other people's relationships like that!
Su Yinuo covered her eyes embarrassedly, and heard Zhang Yifeng's light rejection: "Jin Miao, don't be like this, Nuonuo is still here."
"Ah! It's getting late! I should go too!"
Just as Su Yinuo finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door. Then, she heard Ji Wenjun wailing outside the door: "Boss Li, it's already half past ten! When are you going to let us get off work?"
Li Jinmiao let go of Zhang Yifeng and shouted with a headache, "Come in!"
Su Yinuo then lowered her hands that were covering her eyes and saw Ji Wenjun who had rushed in rashly.
Compared to the lively Ji Wenjun of the afternoon, Ji Wenjun now looked like a scholar whose energy had been drained by a vixen. His shoulders drooped, his arms slung, his eyes dead. But when he saw Su Yinuo and Li Jinmiao, he froze up like a chicken, shouting, "Two Mr. Lis? I told you I've lost my mind from working overtime, right?"
Li Jinmiao sighed silently, holding his forehead. Just as he was about to call everyone off, Su Yinuo beside him suddenly frowned playfully, coughed lightly, and said to Ji Wenjun seriously, "You're fired."
Ji Wenjun was stunned until Li Jinmiao burst into laughter, then he reacted. He walked towards Su Yinuo, who was almost unable to hold back her laughter, and threatened, "Hey? Little sister, you can't be so scary. I'm almost scared to death."
Su Yinuo hid behind Li Jinmiao with a smile.
She was in a good mood today, so she teased Ji Wenjun, which was unusual for her.
In the more than a year since she dropped out of school, she has never felt as relaxed as she does today.
The months before her mother was discharged from the hospital were the darkest days of her life. Even after she made it through, she still faced a mountain of challenges that suffocated her. During the six months when her mother was still unable to care for herself, she not only had to care for her during the day, accompany her for rehabilitation training, and attend regular hospital checkups, but she also had to squeeze in time to prepare food and run her stall alone at night.
Later, when my mother was able to take care of herself, she began working full days at the stall, waking up before dawn to prepare ingredients and returning home late at night. She worked hard to earn money and save to pay off debts. Breakfast and lunch were just quick bites, and evenings were often just a simple broth to wash down leftovers. She had no time for entertainment, no time for shopping, and even less time for making friends, nor the opportunity to hear so much noise and laughter.
Of course, there is no time or money to have a sumptuous, exquisite and delicious dinner.
Su Yinuo felt warm in her heart, feeling that her luck had changed and that she seemed to have become the darling of fate today.
Li Jinmiao in front of him had laughed enough, and waved his hands while holding his stomach, saying, "Alright, alright, let's get off work, Lao Zhang. It's too late today, you can take Nuonuo home."
"Yes, Mr. Li." Zhang Yifeng replied.
Su Yinuo changed her clothes in the lounge. When she followed Zhang Yifeng out of the office, Ji Wenjun was still chattering behind her.
"Little sister, your name is Nuonuo? Where do you live? Can I take you home? Let's not bother Assistant Zhang, let him take Mr. Li home."
"Eh? That's not right. Didn't you say you had a boyfriend? Why didn't he come to pick you up?"
"Hehehe, are you trying to trick me? I knew it!"
"Nuo Nuo, I'm also a high-quality single young man in Beiguang City who owns a house and a car and earns 30,000 yuan a month! Are you interested in getting to know me better?"
"Nono, add me on WeChat?"
"Nuo Nuo, if I don't add you on WeChat, you'll let Assistant Zhang crush me to death..."
......
In the end, Ji Wenjun shamelessly got Su Yinuo's WeChat.
Su Yinuo's home is located in an old residential complex in the eastern part of Beiguang City. The buildings are mottled with rusty exteriors and corroded pipes, bearing the marks of time everywhere. She lives on the first floor of her house, which has a small courtyard outside where her food cart and other miscellaneous goods are stored.
After returning home, as soon as Su Yinuo opened the gate of the courtyard, she saw the dim light coming from the window, and under that warm light, her mother was concentrating on doing handicrafts.
It was already eleven o'clock. Under normal circumstances, her mother would have fallen into a sound sleep, so Su Yinuo knew that her mother was waiting for her to come home.
A warm feeling surged in her heart, and the moment she ran towards her mother, she felt like the happiest child in the world.
"Mom, why aren't you sleeping yet so late? Stop it, I'll help you take a shower, it's time to go to bed," Su Yinuo rushed into the house and ran behind her mother.
Zhang Lihua turned around with a smile, but when she saw the delicate makeup on Su Yinuo's face, she was slightly startled and her smile froze on her face.
She pulled Su Yinuo to her side, holding her face with deep concern, and asked, "Nunuo, what part-time job do you have that requires makeup? And why are you back so late? Mommy is telling you, don't work too hard to make money, and don't do unhappy things for the sake of money. Our family owes tens of thousands of yuan, and your uncle hasn't urged us to pay it back, so we're not in a hurry to pay it back..."
"Oh, Mom! Don't worry," Su Yinuo interrupted her mother with a smile, squatted down, hugged her and said coquettishly: "It's normal to wear makeup to work now. Look at the sisters in the software park, which one doesn't wear makeup? Don't worry, Mom, I made a friend, a sister who looks very similar to me. She works in the software park. She entrusted me to do some things, all of which are law-abiding. When I have time, I will bring her to my house to play and you will know. She is a very good sister..."
Su Yinuo was afraid that her mother would have wild thoughts, so she didn't tell her mother about having dinner with Qin Cangye.
After washing up, Su Yinuo helped her mother onto the bed, turned off the lights, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the moonlight outside the window. In the white moonlight, she actually saw Qin Cangye's gentle and comfortable face as he leaned lazily in the car.
A smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
More than ten kilometers away, on the top floor of Ronghua Capital's headquarters building in Xihu District, Qin Cangye sat in his exclusive top-floor office, his back to the large floor-to-ceiling windows, slowly tapping the Montblanc pen in his hand.
There was no light on in the office. The gemstones inlaid on the silver pen reflected the bright moonlight behind him. As his fingers moved, the light swept back and forth across his deep eyes.
The moonlight tonight was beautiful. Turning around, the view from the 36th floor was a hundred times wider than Su Yinuo's at home. But he had no time to admire it, his mind preoccupied with Su Yinuo's every smile and frown. He even wanted to reach out and wipe away the oil stains from the corners of Su Yinuo's mouth in his mind.
This terrible feeling made it difficult for him to sleep all night. He wanted to go back to the office to deal with some documents, but when he picked up the pen, he thought of Su Yinuo.
He put down his pen heavily, pushed his chair away, stood up, walked out of the office, and went into the gym not far away.
The top floor of the headquarters building is entirely Qin Cangye's work and living area. An hour later, he walked out of the gym, covered in sweat, and walked towards his luxurious suite of more than 300 square meters.
As soon as he opened the door, a chirping sound came from the room, and countless plump hamsters swarmed towards Qin Cangye. Qin Cangye pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, took out his mobile phone and turned on the automatic feeder in the living room. With a loud noise, the hamsters swarmed back like a tide.
Qin Cangye took a step forward and heard a loud "Ji!!" He looked down and saw a small hamster clinging to his trouser leg. He bent down, picked up the hamster, and stared at it for a few seconds before saying, "Little fool, silly..."
When I said this, Su Yinuo's face popped up in my mind again.
Qin Cangye smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly: "Qin Cangye, you are finished..."
