Chapter 169 Who told me to like you so much
In the restaurant.
An orange chandelier hangs from the beams.
Shi Yin took off her apron and came out of the kitchen. She saw Han Zhan sitting on the dining chair. The white porcelain plate was empty, and the snowflake cake that had just been served had all gone into his stomach.
Her baking skills are not very good.
I also learned how to make snow cake from Ms. Bai at Han’s house years ago.
The taste was not particularly good.
Han Zhan, however, always provided high emotional value. It was said that the snow cake she made was of the best quality, far surpassing the experienced Ms. Bai. Shi Yin walked towards him, pulled out a chair and sat down beside him.
The servants served dinner one after another.
Three dishes and one soup.
Shi Yin took the pork ribs and lotus root soup he had served her, took two sips, and said, "I wrote a letter of recommendation for you, and through Mr. Tao's connections, I found a very good listed company. I've arranged to have dinner with their head tomorrow, and I'll go with you. We'll try to reach an agreement so that you can start working."
Han Zhan paused slightly.
She had previously colluded with the housekeeper to trick her into going out, and she made up a reason to go out for work. I don't know whether to say that Shi Yin is efficient or that she cares too much about the people in this family. The dinner has been arranged, and the job offer is about to be sent to him.
After not hearing him speak for a long time, Shi Yin tilted her head: "What's wrong? Don't you want to go?"
"I do! Of course I do! My wife used her connections to find me this position, so I definitely have to go. We're having dinner tomorrow, right? I promise to be there on time and try to make a good impression on the person in charge of the other company. So I can get the job and not embarrass my wife. Oh, honey, today is my first time going to work at Shi's since I was discharged from the hospital. Did it go well? Are you feeling good?"
Shi Yin pursed her lips.
He instinctively glanced at his arm out of the corner of his eye.
She was still wearing the sleeveless suit Han Zhan had picked out for her when she left the car that morning. She was holding her coat when she got out of the car, but she didn't wear it. Judging from the clothes Han Zhan had coaxed her to wear on these two occasions, he was planning to accompany her step by step to walk out of the shadow of the past. Knowing his good intentions, Shi Yin didn't want to let him down.
She also wants to work harder.
Be brave.
However, the Shi Building held too many traces of the Shi family. She had survived the morning meeting but not the senior board meeting. Seeing Shi Tianhong's old chair and hearing those people discussing him, Cheng Lan, and Shi Qinghe, her hands under the table began to tremble uncontrollably.
I had a nightmare during my nap.
When I woke up, my back was covered in cold sweat.
After taking the medicine in the drawer and easing the discomfort and pain, she put on her coat. She didn't take it off until she got into the Porsche Macan after work in the evening.
Listening to Han Zhan's words, Shi Yin first drank the remaining soup in the spoon, then raised her almond-shaped eyes and said, reporting the good news instead of the bad news: "Meng Xi has managed things in an orderly manner. Director Tao did me a favor and submitted a letter of recommendation for me. Assistant Yan from Shine Group also called and asked me to go to the Pentagon to discuss the specific details of the project. Everything is fine, and I am fine too."
Everything is fine.
Only she wasn't well.
Han Zhan pretended not to see through her lie, put his arm around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder affectionately: "Wife, I can't carry anything, and I can't handle pressure. I want to quit if I have to work too much."
"It's okay, I can make money."
"Wife, this family doesn't just have me. We also have Uncle Han who has a hard time walking, Ah Xiu, the big wolfhound who needs to eat four meals a day, Dr. Fang, the private doctor who lives in the house, and seven or eight servants—"
"I can do it." Shi Yin turned around, looked at him face to face, and said gently, "I'm going to meet the person in charge of the listed company tomorrow and discuss the job. If you're not happy with your job in the future, just quit. With me here, nothing will go wrong at home."
"real?"
"Um."
"Then we have a deal." Han Zhan sat up straight and made a gentleman's verbal agreement with her: "Wife, no matter what happens in the future, you must think about Beishan Villa. Everyone in the family, including the flowers and plants in the yard, depends on you for their livelihood. We are your responsibility, and you must take care of us."
"I will." Shi Yin nodded.
She struggled to get up from the mire, all her motivation coming from revenge and seizing the family property. Shi Yin never thought about what she would do in the future, because all her energy was focused on the task of "overthrowing the Shi family."
Now she has new motivation.
The dawn of a new life.
That is to manage this marriage that was born by chance well, and to support this small but extremely happy and warm family. She wants to walk with Han Zhan well, from youth to old age, and for a long time.
…
The next day.
Just like the previous two times, Han Zhan chose Shi Yin's clothes.
Today, she chose a long-sleeved, off-shoulder top paired with a long, casual skirt. The sleeves covered most of the scars on her arms, and only a small part could be seen when she looked closely.
After breakfast, the two went out.
Han Zhan was driving the car.
Shi Yin sat in the passenger seat, holding a tablet and sliding the screen with a pencil, modifying the line drawing of the wedding dress outline she had decided on last night.
The Cullinan drove through the intersection in front of them. Han Zhan tilted his head to look at her: "Wife, is Shi's going to launch a new design soon?"
"No."
"So you took on some private work?"
"Um."
Shi Yin nodded.
How can designing your own wedding dress not be considered a private job?
Han Zhan glanced at her tablet again. She had started designing this wedding dress several days ago and had revised it over a dozen times, but she still wasn't satisfied with it. How much money could she have been paid to put so much effort into it?
Speaking of design drafts.
Han Zhan thought of the Scre brand's heritage series of wedding dresses again.
His men had held Hua Jing captive in Beijing for two days, but the woman still refused to give up Aro's contact information. He considered himself polite, so if the other party refused to accept his toast, don't blame him for being rude.
Half an hour later.
The car stopped in front of a Chinese courtyard restaurant.
Shi Yin got out of the car, took out the gift she had prepared in advance from the trunk, handed it to Han Zhan, walked inside with him, and talked to him about social etiquette: "When we meet later, you should say hello first and be humble. After all, we are the ones asking for help."
"I always listen to my wife."
"Wait, your suit tie is a little crooked." Shi Yin called him, stood on the higher step, and carefully straightened his tie and shirt collar.
Han Zhan stared at her and teased her, "Does your husband look handsome in a suit?"
Shi Yin glanced at him.
She knew he was joking with her, but she still answered seriously: "Very handsome, very upright, and his temperament instantly improved."
"temperament?"
"Well, he's completely different from the playboy he used to be in the entertainment news."
"Wife, that's a rumor."
"I know."
"Don't mention the word playboy anymore." Han Zhan said.
"Others can say it, but I can't?" Shi Yin asked deliberately.
"I don't care what outsiders say, but I care about my wife's thoughts." Han Zhan followed her, holding the gift in one hand and holding her slender waist with the other. He bent down and whispered in her ear: "Who told me to like you so much, my wife?"
