Chapter 39 Li Zhinan, Don’t Humiliate Me Like This
The jumping little flames collided with the grayness and suddenly fell into deeper darkness.
Cheng Qian adjusted the hair beside her ear and said calmly, "Yes, he decided to join."
"Is it your credit?" Li Zhinan stood up from the sofa. The light was dim to begin with, and as he approached step by step, Cheng Qian felt the pressure.
"No, it was his own decision. It has nothing to do with anyone else." Cheng Qian frowned and argued.
Li Zhinan stood in front of her, his deep eyes fixed on her fair face. "Even with Ji Nan at the Seed Research Institute, it's not even among the top three in the country. Tell me, why did he choose seeds?"
Cheng Qian felt that his question itself was problematic, so she decided not to respond.
"I'm tired and want to rest." Cheng Qian said and walked towards the stairs.
"Cheng Qian, I didn't know you could also use your beauty." Li Zhinan's voice came from behind in a low and cold voice.
Cheng Qian paused as she was going upstairs, and looked back at him in confusion: "Li Zhinan, don't humiliate me like this."
Li Zhinan was startled and saw her slender figure disappear on the stairs.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the whole country began to get back on track and office workers began to become active.
The equipment of the Seed Research Institute was also airlifted back and entered the assembly stage. During this period, Ji Nan also recruited a group of outstanding talents.
Ji Nan sent a message to Cheng Qian: "Xiao Qian, I want to give this group of new employees some systematic training. You and Dr. Qiao will go over and give a lecture tomorrow."
Cheng Qian immediately accepted the appointment and agreed to it.
At noon, in a western restaurant with a great atmosphere!
There were two beautiful women sitting there. He Xue was Cheng Yan's junior, and the two had known each other for a long time.
It was Cheng Yan's idea to have this dinner together.
"Sister He Xue, why are you eating so little? Is something on your mind?" Cheng Yan discovered that He Xue was very worried today.
He Xue propped up her chin, a look of annoyance flashing across her face: "Someone is trying to snatch President Ji away from me."
After hearing this, Cheng Yan immediately said with concern: "Mr. Ji is such an outstanding man, he has many suitors. You have to keep a calm mind..."
"I know there are a lot of people who have a crush on him, but I don't take those people seriously. They're not worthy of being my rival." He Xue looked annoyed. "Recently, someone named Cheng Qian joined the research institute. Oh, her last name is Cheng..."
When Cheng Yan heard this, she took a sip of red wine gracefully and said, "She is my cousin, an excellent woman."
He Xue was stunned and realized that she had become a joke.
The Cheng Qian she accused turned out to be her senior's cousin, which made her even more depressed.
Cheng Yan saw what she was thinking and changed the subject: "My cousin has never liked me since she was a child. She always wants to compare herself with me."
He Xue's eyes lit up, and the situation changed instantly: "Senior sister, are you and Cheng Qian not on good terms?"
Cheng Yan naturally wouldn't bring up the grudges of the previous generation. She simply said, "Her parents died early, so she feels unbalanced. I can understand that."
"This is just like having a mother who gave birth to a child but didn't educate him. That's why she wants to grab all the good things, and men are the same." He Xue immediately sneered.
Cheng Yan's eyes flickered. He Xue worked at Seed Company. From now on, she would be her greatest help. Cheng Yan liked to be friends with stupid people.
Cheng Yan sighed softly, "My cousin is also a pitiful person. She has been spoiled by her family since she was a child. Like a little princess, she has never suffered any hardship. Who would have thought that she would encounter such a change just after she became an adult? It's normal for her heart to be twisted."
"Just because she's twisted, she can just snatch someone else's sweetheart? She's so arrogant." He Xue clenched her fists in anger. "I want to see why President Ji would leave such an outstanding rich girl like me behind and choose a woman with a mental illness instead."
Cheng Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry, eat more."
"Senior, you have to help me..." He Xue nervously grabbed her arm.
"How can I help you?" Cheng Yan was waiting for her to fall into the trap.
"Help me deal with this shameless woman and give me some advice." He Xue knew that Cheng Yan was always smart and had many ideas.
"Okay, we've known each other for many years. If I can help, just tell me." Cheng Yan has always been good at winning people's hearts.
Li family!
Xia Mengjiao brought her two children to the old house for dinner. After dinner, Jiang Mengbang helped her take care of the children in the guest room.
"Mom, why are you so worried? Has Xiaowei's condition worsened again?" Xia Mengjiao could see that her mother-in-law was worried.
Jiang Meng stopped what he was doing and sighed: "Mengjiao, have you noticed that the relationship between Xiaoqian and Zhinan seems to have become distant."
Xia Mengjiao immediately responded, "Mom, you discovered it too."
Jiang Meng nodded: "Maybe Zhinan has been too close to Miss Cheng recently, and Xiaoqian is jealous."
Xia Mengjiao nodded: "Isn't it just jealousy? Big brother didn't pay attention to the limits, and big sister-in-law has a reserved personality. The two of them kept their mouths shut and didn't explain, so the misunderstanding got bigger."
Jiang Meng looked at Xia Mengjiao: "Do you have any way to bring the two of them closer?"
Xia Mengjiao smiled and said, "They are husband and wife. Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight. As the saying goes, they fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. We just need to create an opportunity for them to be alone together."
When Jiang Meng heard this, he immediately had an idea: "Now that you mention it, there is an opportunity."
On the tenth day, Li Zhinan and Cheng Qian were called to the old house early in the morning.
"Mom, you called us over here so early in the morning. Is there something wrong?" Li Zhinan asked.
Jiang Meng immediately took out a wedding invitation: "Remember your Uncle Zhang? His son is getting married. When you got married that year, his whole family came. This time, we must also be sincere."
Li Zhinan's handsome eyebrows slightly frowned: "Mom, I will ask someone to send a big gift over."
"It's not polite if the gift is present but the person is not." Jiang Meng said seriously.
Cheng Qian, who had been silent the whole time, hugged her son tightly and said softly, "Okay, Mom, I'll take Xiao Ye over."
Jiang Meng immediately looked at her: "Don't take Xiao Ye with you. The journey is long and he is still young. I will take care of him."
Li Zhinan immediately understood the hidden meaning of his mother's words, and he looked at Cheng Qian with a serious look in his eyes.
Cheng Qian looked down at her son in her arms, and for a moment, she didn't understand what her mother-in-law was thinking.
"The flight takes two hours, and the drive takes a few hours. You should book a flight tonight." Jiang Meng made arrangements directly.
Cheng Qian still wanted to take her son with her, but Li Zhinan said calmly, "Since Mom wants to take care of Xiaoye, just leave the child here."
Cheng Qian's heart was shocked, because she couldn't help but think too much about the divorce.
Does Li Zhinan want Xiao Ye to build a good relationship with his mother-in-law so that the child will not be close to him after the divorce?
"Xiao Qian, if you are worried, I will ask your aunt to come and take care of you together." Jiang Meng also knew that Ye Zhu was taking care of Xiao Ye, so she smiled and comforted her.
Cheng Qian nodded: "Okay, Mom, thank you for your help."
Li Zhinan said, "I'll book the plane ticket."
Cheng Qian took the child out to play in the yard, and Jiang Meng called Li Zhinan over seriously.
"Zhi Nan, this time, only you and Xiao Qian should go together. Don't invite irrelevant people along."
