161 Is the Boss Not In The Mood For His Career Anymore?
In the Li family’s courtyard, Li Yanchen faced the camera.
“Everyone. Search for the Sweet Little Circle in the upper right corner. The mysterious dessert chef will be revealed today,” he advertised with a serious face.
[Mr. Li, I just came from the Sweet Little Circle live broadcast to see what you were doing. Are you promoting Xiao Huan, too?]
[Does the Festival Group know that you are promoting your wife’s channel on their livestream?]
[The best man in China.]
[When will it be possible for each household to have one Li Yanchen?]
[I’m starting to get jealous of Lin Wan, not because she married into a rich family, but because she married Li Yanchen.]
[If all men were like this, who wouldn’t want more children?]
[Another day in the life of singles like us when we were brutally crushed.]
…
In the Chenxin headquarters, one of the employees shouted, “Look at the live broadcast! Lin Wan is actually Xiao Huan from Sweet Little Circle.”
Everyone stopped what they were doing. Secretary Han and Assistant Qin held an emergency meeting. Secretary Han glared at Assistant Qin. “Old Qin, you are in charge of everything concerning the Li family. Did you know about this? I was talking about it with you yesterday and you pretended not to know anything.”
“How could I know something like this?” Assistant Qin swallowed nervously.
Secretary Han’s eyes became sharper. “I’ve also worked and traveled with boss for so long now. How could he tell you and not me? He is so biased.”
Assistant Qin closed his eyes. “No, no. You misunderstand. Boss didn’t tell me. I figured it out by myself. I was assigned as the Madam’s driver, remember? She used to work at Xia Mo’s shop. When Xia Mo’s face was revealed alongside Xiao Huan, I guessed the other person might actually be Madam.”
Secretary Han still felt wronged. “You are making excuses now because you are afraid I will be sad? You don’t need to lie or make excuses. I have loyally worked here for many years, taking care of the company in boss’ absence. You can’t even trust me?”
“I swear boss didn’t tell me,” said Assistant Qin earnestly, raising a hand in the air as if he was making an oath.
“Alright, alright. I believe you.” Secretary Han smacked assistant Qin’s hand away.
“Secretary Han, is the boss not in the mood for his career anymore? Whenever I send him a message regarding the decisions of the company, he replies with “Do as you see fit”.” Assistant Qin had sent Li Yanchen a message about a matter related to work. He suspected that L Yanchen might have set up an auto reply for his messages.
Secretary Han nodded. “He does the same with me too.”
“He is even advertising for Madam now so that the Li family fans would follow and support her. Is he still the same Mr. Li that we know?” asked Assistant Qin.
Secretary Han furrowed his brows. “Not only the boss, but also the young masters have changed a lot since meeting Madam.”
“Old Han, old Qin, are you watching the live broadcast room? The boss sent a 100000 yuan red packet to Madam’s live broadcast room. There are three minutes left before the fight starts.” The moment he heard the rough voice, he knew that it was the HR manager.
Sure enough, Sister Song was standing by the door of the president’s office with her phone in her hand. She looked at the two people in the office. “I think this 100000 Yuan red packet is just a warm-up. There will be a few more cloud-piercing arrows later.”
Ms. Song looked around and said in a low voice, “Boss really loves Madam so much. After the year-end company gathering, a few girls asked the boss to give them red packets, but he didn’t even respond. Now, he’s spending money and showing his support for Madam.”
Ms. Song oversaw the Human Resources Department. In addition to the HR Department responsibilities, she was also the ‘Intelligence Department’ of the entire company. Ms. Song basically knew everything, from small matters such as whose children were in a relationship at a young age, to big matters such as an employee having an affair, to the boss being secretly in love.
“You don’t need to tell me that. I knew that already.” Assistant Qn rolled his eyes.
“Did you watch the live broadcast at the Lanshan Sungazing Homestay last night? Tsk…tsk… Even I am envious of Madam after watching it, let alone the young ladies here,” said Ms. Song. “A few of them took sick leave saying they had internal injuries. Boss is not only related to the future of the company, but also to the mental health of the employees as well.”
“Sister Song, aren’t you worried that boss won’t care about the company anymore?” Secretary Han interrupted.
“I’m worried. Boss is an entrepreneur from Yun City. If he doesn’t take care of the company’s business, our year-end bonus will be less than this.” Miss Song spread her fingers and waved them.
“And you’re still in the mood to gossip?”
“I am going. I am going!” Ms. Song returned to her office.
Assistant Qin closed the door to the president’s office.
…
At the Lan Village, the Sweet Little Circle did their live broadcast. Lin Wan took out the cake from the oven and replied to the rapidly scrolling comments on screen.
[It’s still Huawei’s phone that allows me to watch two livestreaming rooms at the same time.]
[Will Xiao Huan stream every afternoon in the future?]
[I’m also switching back and forth. Li Yanchen is still persevering in promoting Lin Wan in the courtyard.]
[Mr. Li is so generous. I got more than 80 red packets.]
Li Zexuan and Li Zexin didn’t want to interrupt Lin Wan’s stream. The two of them returned to the courtyard and sat on either side of their father.
“Thank you for not saying anything too extreme even after finding out that Ms. Lin is Xiao Huan.” Li Zexuan bowed to the camera.
[Xuanxuan, this is the first time you’ve said thank you in the livestream room. And it’s for Lin Wan!]
“Ms. Lin’s desserts are super delicious. When we return to Yun City, everyone is welcome to go to The Sweetheart Inn to buy some,” said Li Zexin.
Even Li Zekai stood in front of his father, his round face facing the camera. “Thank you, uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters. Father and I will sing a song for everyone to repay you all.”
The netizens were no longer calm.
Don’t! My ear has just recovered. I can’t take it anymore.]
[Sisters, to prevent your ears from being destroyed, let’s go to the Sweet Little Circle live broadcast room!]
Li Yanchen was speechless.
Even when he had shouted and offered red packets, the viewers in the Li family’s live broadcast had not decreased. His youngest son had offered to sing, and the number of viewers drastically reduced! ‘Is my singing that lethal?’
He thought this was a good idea. Li Yanchen wondered if everyone would go watch and support Lin Wan if he suddenly started singing.
Li Yanchen cleared his throat.
[Director, Li Yanchen is going to destroy everyone’s ears!]
[If this isn’t revenge then I don’t know what is. Is this because we criticized Lin Wan before?
[Mr. Li, open your eyes and read the comments.]
...
In the afternoon, the Li family members were the hot topic. “We Are Also Very Ordinary” viewership rating shot up.
The staff had already opened the champagne to celebrate.
In the Sweet Little Circle channel, Lin Wan gulped down a mouthful of water when the live stream finally went offline. The three mothers who had been dragged in by the Festival Group were tired. Their legs were sore from standing there for so long. When the live stream finally ended, they sat down on the ground.
“You’ve worked hard, everyone! You can do whatever you please now,” a staff member passed on the Director’s instructions.
Other than Tao Jingyuan, who gently bade goodbye to Lin Wan, Nannan and Ji Hanzhi’s faces were dark. They walked out of the Sweet Little Circle live broadcast without saying a word. The two of them didn’t even want to pretend in front of the camera.
When Li Yanchen saw Lin Wan walking into the courtyard, he quickly stood up and tidied her hair. “Honey, you’ve worked hard!”
