Exhausted, Lin Huayin returned home. She wanted to bite the bullet and go into the kitchen to make a sumptuous dinner. However, she found a tempting aroma coming from the kitchen. She could smell it. It was Xiao Zheng's best dish, egg fried rice, and a pot of pork ribs and winter melon soup. It was also her favorite.
When she got off work, the overseas department in the same building as her office was brightly lit. From time to time, she could hear fierce arguments. She could imagine that the overseas department was in a state of high tension at this moment. No mistakes could be made. In her mind, as the boss of the overseas department, Xiao Zheng should also lead the heroes. This was also the reason why she decided to get off work early and cook a sumptuous dinner for Xiao Zheng.
However, she never expected that Xiao Zheng would leave his subordinates and go home alone. He was still hiding in the kitchen, preparing dinner.
"You're back?"
Wearing an apron, Xiao Zheng came to the dining room with two plates of egg fried rice in his hands. He smiled and said, "Wash your face and come eat. The soup is ready. "
Exhausted, Lin Huayin put down her briefcase. She washed her face with cold water in the bathroom on the first floor. After refreshing herself, she returned to the dining room.
A pot of winter melon soup, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and a plate of handmade cold dishes. Tonight's dinner was very light, which suited Lin Huayin's long-standing taste.
Xiao Zheng helped Lin Huayin serve the soup and said in a relaxed manner, "Don't be too busy these days. Just sit in the office and wait for the news. "
Lin Huayin swallowed a mouthful of egg fried rice. A touch of softness appeared on her fair and delicate face. "You've worked hard."
It was indeed hard.
Not only was it physically tiring, but it was also psychological.
Her decision today was informed in advance by Xiao Zheng. Although her performance was not at the peak of perfection, it was more than enough to fool the group of senior executives in the conference room. But it was also because of this that Xiao Zheng was under great pressure and was ostracized by his colleagues.
Other than Geng Sang and the others who harbored evil intentions, most of Xin Ao's employees and higher-ups were firmly on his side. It was also because of this that when Xiao Zheng suddenly made things difficult for him and threatened him, he would definitely be ostracized by many of the higher-ups and employees, and even be verbally attacked.
Wasn't Xiao Zheng being wronged for this grievance?
Everything he did was for his own good and for New Mysteries. However, he couldn't say it out loud. He could only bury it in his heart. Even Lin Huayin, a woman with a heart as cold as ice, felt that the grievances Xiao Zheng had suffered were not worth it.
"Compared to your hard work all these years, this is nothing." Xiao Zheng fiercely took two mouthfuls of rice. He had been busy for an entire afternoon, and he had also been fighting with Geng Sang and the others. He was really hungry.
"I'm doing it for myself." Lin Huayin didn't agree with him and retorted straightforwardly.
She was never a hypocritical woman. When she founded Xin Ao, she worked hard not for anyone but herself. But what about Xiao Zheng?
"You make it sound like I'm a sanctimonious person." Xiao Zheng took a sip of the winter melon soup. It was so hot that he stuck out his tongue and grimaced. "If this matter succeeds, I'll be the hero of Xin Ao, and I'll be a big shot who will shock the government."
Lin Huayin gave Xiao Zheng a deep, meaningful look.
A big shot who will shock the government? She found it funny, but at the same time, she felt it was very intimate.
Was he trying to shock the government? He was usually so long-winded and naggy. When had he ever been afraid of her like the employees of Xin Ao?
After a brief daze, Lin Huayin asked softly, "Since you don't plan to accept their investment, why are you putting on this show? How are you going to clean up the mess? "
"It's a secret." Xiao Zheng smiled mysteriously.
"Do you really think Xin Ao needs this billion?" Lin Huayin changed the question.
"Do you think it's necessary?" Xiao Zheng asked back.
"600 million will achieve the effect you want." Lin Huayin gave an accurate answer after a complicated and precise calculation in her mind.
"You know this better than me." Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled.
Lin Huayin was a wise woman. When Xiao Zheng proposed this plan, she had already guessed that Xiao Zheng would not use the billion from Geng Sang's boss. However, he had his own ways to get the money. Otherwise, a large number of managers in Xin Ao would feel disappointed, and their morale would be shaken.
She wanted to ask what Xiao Zheng's plan was, but she didn't. Just like how Xiao Zheng never asked about her past, she would not take the initiative to ask about Xiao Zheng's privacy. Even if it meant losing the dictatorship over Xin Ao.
It could be said that in this world, the one who had the best chance to deceive Lin Huayin was Xiao Zheng. Even Ye Yuhua and Lin Chaotian were unable to deceive this proud daughter of heaven who had inherited all of their talents and wisdom.
Xiao Zheng hurriedly ate and drank to his heart's content. Then, he brought the prepared fruit platter to the living room. He brewed a pot of tea and switched the TV to the financial channel. He picked up his coat and put it on. Then, he turned to the curious Lin Huayin and said, "After eating the fruit and watching the news, go to bed early. I'll work overtime tonight and won't be back. "
After that, he pushed the door and drove to the company.
Until she could no longer hear the sound of the car outside, Lin Huayin turned her head back in disappointment. She ate the fried rice and drank the soup that Xiao Zheng personally served for her. After dinner, she went to the living room and sat on her favorite leather sofa to watch TV, eat the fruit, and drink the gradually cooling oolong. For the first time in her life, she ignored the content of the news. Although her black and white eyes were still staring at the TV, she did not see a word or listen to a word.
She was stunned.
An unfathomable ripple appeared in her cold heart.
She did not know how to describe her feelings at the moment. Even though she was a genius who was good at summarizing and had outstanding writing skills since she was young. Even though she could get full marks for her essays every time, and her writing was so beautiful that it made her language teacher blush with shame. But at this time, she could not use the simplest words to describe her inner thoughts.
Following Xiao Zheng's instructions, she ate the fruit and drank the cooled oolong. Lin Huayin got up to clean up the dishes, and then absentmindedly wiped the table until it was spotless.
She returned to the second floor. For the first time in her life, she did not turn on the computer, did not flip through the documents, and did not keep up with the times to reorganize the grand plan of Xin Ao for the next ten years. She just carried her pajamas into the bathroom, washed her face, brushed her teeth, took a comfortable hot shower, and then lay on the bed refreshed. She turned off the light and stared at the blurry ceiling in a daze.
After a long, long time, Lin Huayin, who was so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes, turned over lazily. She spoke in a tone that Xiao Zheng would never believe even if he were to be beaten to death, "I really want to not go to work tomorrow …"
For a woman who was so independent and self-reliant that even men felt inferior to her to roll on the bed and shout that she did not want to go to work, it was either that this woman had been tortured by high-intensity work to the point of losing her mind. Or, she had found someone to rely on.
