Chapter 622 Contribute a Recipe for Treating Foot Odor
After breaking up with Ningjing, I went straight home.
I originally just wanted to be a "military advisor," offering advice and counsel, but Mr. Chen insisted on placing this heavy burden on my shoulders.
A burden weighing a thousand pounds.
I returned home without saying a word. I had lunch and took my usual nap. I woke up at two in the afternoon and went to my study to sort out my thoughts.
Less than half an hour after sitting there, Yu Fang called.
"Boss Wan, is it convenient to talk?"
"Convenient, you say."
"I heard others say that you forced Mr. Cao to resign, saying that you had always wanted a real job and had left Xuri several times, and this time you finally got your goal."
"Oh, what else?"
"I'm sorry to say that."
"It's okay. You don't have to spread it, but you have to tell me. If what they say is true, I have to pay attention to it at work."
"And... that's..."
"Be frank, Yu Fang, our relationship is different."
"It means that your relationship with Qing Ruo is extraordinary."
"Oh. And who's the source?"
"My friend at the Shu Group told me."
"Yu Fang, I won't explain. The innocent will be innocent."
I know the Shu Group is starting to make a fuss about me. They'll definitely spread a lot of true and false news in the future. They'll launch a wave of negative publicity against me.
Since the advent of the Internet, the world has become a village. If something happens around the world, it's like someone in the village losing a chicken: within half an hour, the whole village knows about it.
If the rumor has a romantic connotation, it will spread faster.
As expected, during dinner, Xiaolin asked me, "Now that your CEO Cao is gone, will you be in charge of tourism?"
So, let me explain the situation. Mr. Cao, who was in charge of tourism, resigned. I helped Mr. Chen one last time by taking over the Bainiao Lake Scenic Area. I stayed until the area opened, and then I went on to do my own thing.
My father said, "Having backbone and taking on responsibilities in times of crisis is a responsible attitude."
I said, "I've been busy lately, and Baidao Lake is quite far away, so I might be staying there at night. I just wanted to talk to you about this."
Xiaolin said, "Bainiao Lake is the island full of women. It's called Daughter Island, right?"
I glared at her, meaning don't be so worried and don't say such things to my mother.
My mother was enjoying her meal when she suddenly looked up and stared at me as if she didn't recognize me: "There's an island like this?"
I laughed and said, "You don't understand. This is just a tourist gimmick."
"What feet..."
I said, "I just chose a name to attract tourists, just like my third uncle's son. His nickname is Gousheng and his full name is Jiang Zhiqiang. Because he works for a foreign company in Beijing, he chose the English name Jackson."
"That's not what I'm asking you. Why are they all women? Are they doing something legal?"
My dad said, "You don't understand cultural creativity. Why do you keep asking about it?"
My mother said, "I don't understand. They're all women, and he's the only man. I don't understand? He doesn't flirt with others, but others flirt with him. You can't stay there overnight, you have to come back. You're not walking, you have a car."
I laughed and said, "Xiao Lin, this is all your fault."
Xiao Lin said, "Mom, it's okay. I just asked him a question. They are all decent women. I just want to remind him to be careful."
My mother realized that I was wrong to complain, and said to Xiaolin:
"We are all decent women, so don't make such jokes. Fortunately, there is no one else here. He is my own son, and I don't know his character. He has good qualities."
Xiaolin stuck out his tongue.
It seems Xiaolin is too naive, playing tricks on my mother. Although my mother is illiterate, she's as good as a lawyer. She can turn a sentence around and rebut it, and she never loses.
After dinner, I went to the study to write a plan.
Since I'm in charge, I need to correct any discrepancies between Mr. Cao's initial thinking and mine. I called Qing Ruo and asked her to give me a comprehensive plan.
After a while, I went to the computer and reviewed the entire plan. Mr. Cao accepted some of my early ideas, but also cut some projects.
I sorted it out and wrote down my thoughts on the computer. I planned to visit the site tomorrow and then discuss the rectification suggestions based on the actual situation. I had just printed out the manuscript when Xiaolin came in and asked:
"Do you know any doctor who can treat foot odor?"
"Who has athlete's foot?"
"Some people who are taking dance or modeling training are afraid to take off their shoes because of foot odor."
"This master will cure it."
"real?"
"If you don't mind the trouble, just boil some mugwort leaves, wait for the temperature to drop, and then wash your feet with it every day. However, make sure the concentration is higher and the temperature is also higher."
"You don't have smelly feet, so it must work if you haven't tried it?"
"Master told me that he used to have smelly feet."
As he was talking, Kong Haoran called and said, "Teacher Wan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Would it be convenient for you to come over and sit with me?"
"It's convenient. Come over."
Xiaolin wanted to get up, and I said:
"Sit down for a moment. You weren't being polite during dinner, saying things like there were only women on the island. We're just the two of us, so you can talk if you want."
What was my mother's reaction? She thought you didn't trust me. So, she wouldn't let me live on the island. Aren't you just looking for trouble?
People get suspicious as they age. So, I want to buy a villa, so that both generations can have their own space. You don't have any other problems; just be careful when interacting with your elders.
Especially my mother, who comes from the countryside, so don't act like a spoiled child in front of her and complain about my shortcomings.
She can't stand you acting like a spoiled brat.
Complaining about my shortcomings is like complaining about my parents. For example, I must take naps, which I inherited from my dad.
"I'm not complaining about your shortcomings."
"To quote your famous quote - not everyone gets polio, but everyone needs to be vaccinated."
Xiaolin rolled his eyes at me.
At this time, before anyone entered, a voice came in: "Teacher Wan——"
Xiaolin said, "Yiwei is here too."
Xiaolin and I stood up, and Kong Haoran, Jiang Yiwei and his wife, and a young man we didn't recognize came in together.
