After driving Jiang Qing away, Lin Huayin put down her briefcase and changed into her home clothes. Then she came to the kitchen and asked, "Do you need help?"
It seemed that he was not surprised to see a strange woman at home.
Xiao Zheng, who was cooking, smiled and said, "No need. If you are hungry, have some fruit salad first. I have cut it and put it in the fridge. "
Lin Huayin shook her head and said, "I am not hungry."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Why did you get off work so early today? Is everything going well in the company? "
Lin Huayin, who was quietly washing the vegetables, said, "If there is nothing much to do, come back early."
"You should always be like this." Xiao Zheng said. "Whether there is something or not, you should strictly follow the working hours. The same is true for the human body. You can only be healthy if you follow the rules. Long-term overdraft will not only affect the body, but also shorten your life. "
Lin Huayin heard the word "shorten" and looked up, "Are you hinting at me?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I hope you live a long life. Then I will have someone to rely on and can be a boss in Xin Ao. "
After a pause, Xiao Zheng asked tentatively, "Don't you want to know who she is?"
"Do I need to know?" Lin Huayin asked.
"She is a soldier." Xiao Zheng said.
"Yes." Lin Huayin nodded.
As long as one was not blind, they could see that Jiang Qing was wearing a military uniform.
"She came to ask for my help." Xiao Zheng explained.
Lin Huayin quietly washed the vegetables and said nothing.
"Actually, I am not willing to help her because of her arrogant attitude. But because of my pride, I can't refuse. That is why we are in a deadlock. "Xiao Zheng sighed.
"If you don't want to help, then don't help." Lin Huayin said. "You don't need to accommodate anyone."
"But she was introduced by the old leader. It is a bit unreasonable not to help. "Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and said. "I am indebted to the old leader. If I refuse, it will seem a bit ungrateful. "
"Since you have decided." Lin Huayin looked up. "Why ask me?"
Xiao Zheng smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm just asking for your opinion. After all, you have been in charge of Xin Ao for many years and have more experience than me. "
Lin Huayin drained the vegetables she had washed, then took them out and put them into the basket. She said, "Don't put chili in the stir-fried vegetables."
After that, he walked straight out of the kitchen and went to tidy up the living room.
Xiao Zheng's face was full of awkwardness. He scratched his head and mumbled, "I found out."
In fact, if Lin Huayin had come home a little later, Jiang Qing would have definitely gotten a free meal. Xiao Zheng had already made a pickled pepper shredded beef according to Jiang Qing's taste. It was sour and spicy with rice. These were the dishes that Jiang Qing had ordered. But Lin Huayin never ate pickled peppers.
Lin Huayin was smart enough to guess Xiao Zheng's intention. So, there was no need to discuss with Xiao Zheng.
After dinner was ready, Xiao Zheng asked Lin Huayin to eat. Except for the beef shredded with pickled peppers, the other dishes were all Lin Huayin's favorite. Lin Huayin also gave him face. After eating the big bowl of rice that Xiao Zheng deliberately gave her, she also ate a lot of dishes.
"Are you full?" Xiao Zheng asked proudly. "My cooking is getting better, right?"
"Yes." Lin Huayin, who was full, nodded faintly and did not have the energy to say more.
"Would you like some fruit salad?" Xiao Zheng looked like a housewife.
"No." Lin Huayin shook her head.
More food?
Do I really want to burst my stomach?
Seeing that Lin Huayin could not take it anymore, Xiao Zheng cleaned up the dishes and accompanied her to drink tea and watch the financial news.
After a while, Xiao Zheng suddenly asked, "Old Lin, I heard from Xiao Ma that we are still renting an office building after moving to Beijing?"
"Yes." Lin Huayin nodded faintly.
"Why don't you consider building your own building?" Xiao Zheng asked. "I see that the super corporations in Hua Xia are all building their own buildings. First, it saves on rent, and second, it is domineering. "
"It is too expensive." Lin Huayin said concisely.
"Building an office building is also an investment. No matter how expensive it is, how much can it cost? At the end of the day, it is just buying a piece of land. "Xiao Zheng tried to persuade her.
Lin Huayin looked up and asked, "You want Xin Ao to move into your own office building?"
"Which employee doesn't want to work in their own office building? Especially when we are moving to the north, the morale of the military is unstable. If we move into our own office building, we will feel at ease. "Xiao Zheng said.
"Let me think about it." Lin Huayin put down the teacup and fell into silence.
Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Zheng also slowly drank his tea and watched the financial news that he could not understand.
But speaking of which, he had been following Lin Huayin for a long time. Xiao Zheng could also find some business opportunities from the news. Although it was difficult to implement, at least it was a qualitative leap in terms of perspective. In the short term, there might not be much effect, but in the long term, it was a kind of good preparation.
"Okay." Lin Huayin suddenly said. "We will build it ourselves."
"Bold!" Xiao Zheng gave a thumbs up. "In this way, we can be considered a nouveau riche with our own office building."
Lin Huayin glanced at him and asked, "Why do you suddenly have this idea?"
"Didn't I say that those nouveau riche build their own office building? I think our Xin Ao has made some achievements now. Building our own building shouldn't be considered imitating others, right? "Xiao Zheng smiled.
Lin Huayin did not give any comments, but said slowly, "Roughly speaking, it will cost at least 500 million to buy a piece of land and build a building."
"So expensive?" Xiao Zheng was surprised.
"It's cheap." Lin Huayin said. "Beijing is expensive, and the labor is high."
"It seems that I am the typical example of someone who doesn't know the cost of daily necessities." Xiao Zheng joked.
Lin Huayin took the orange petal from Xiao Zheng, put it in her red lips and chewed it carefully, but there was a hint of hesitation lingering between her eyebrows.
After a long silence, she suddenly turned and asked, "Are you willing?"
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng was surprised. "Willing to what?"
"Go to Beijing." Lin Huayin said. "Leave Pearl City."
"The headquarters have been moved there. As the head of the overseas department, do I still have to stay in Pearl City? "Xiao Zheng's eyes turned cold as he asked in a deep voice. "Could it be that you want to kill me after you've squeezed me dry and kicked me out?"
Lin Huayin ignored Xiao Zheng's nonsense and asked directly, "I mean, live in Beijing."
Xiao Zheng was stunned, and he sighed in his heart. In the end, he still had to face this difficult problem.
Was he willing to live in Beijing?
Deep in his heart, Xiao Zheng was, of course, unwilling. First of all, Pearl City was his home. The home that he had lived in for decades. Who would want to leave their home for no reason? To put it bluntly, Xiao Zheng did not even know how many streets and alleys there were in Beijing. How could he be willing to live in that cold and heartless city?
But the headquarters had been moved there, and so had everyone in Xin Ao, including Lin Huayin.
Did he have a choice?
"I'll try my best to get along well with your dad." Xiao Zheng smiled. "I'll try my best not to embarrass you."
Lin Huayin was clearly caught off guard when she heard this. She raised her eyes and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. A dazzling smile blossomed on her fair, snow-white face.
