Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the Chexin headquarters, during lunch break, Assistant Qin and Secretary Han sat together. Secretary Han encouraged Assistant Qin to give Li Yanchen a call. He told him to put the phone on speaker.
When Li Yanchen saw the call, he hesitated for a moment. Before he left, he had already instructed Assistant Qin to handle the company matters.
“Big Boss!” Assistant Qin’s voice was cheerful and eager.
Secretary Han got goosebumps. He had made Assistant Qin call the Boss, but he did not tell him to sound so happy about it.
Li Yanchen confirmed the name on the screen once again. “Can you speak properly?”
“Yes. Do you want to be an internet celebrity? Why did you live stream your cooking skills? Boss, do you not want the company anymore? Don’t you want us anymore?
Although the company’s work was progressing smoothly under Secretary Han’s leadership, the orders were obviously much fewer than before.
Li Yanchen furrowed his brows. “Is that all?”
“Isn’t this important enough? Boss, our company’s orders for the past two months aren’t as good as before,” Assistant Qin continued.
Secretary Han gave him a thumbs-up.
“Don’t tell me about it. Go and tell Secretary Han.” Li Yanchen hung up the phone.
Assistant Qin was stumped. So was Secretary Han.
Assistant Qin looked at Secretary Han in contempt. “I told you, but you insisted! Now Boss must be angry at me. He doesn’t lack money, so it doesn’t matter whether we earn a lot or a little less!”
“I was doing it for everyone’s benefit,” said Secretary Han.
“You said that Boss’s personality has changed. He has only changed for Madam, not for us. Don’t make me call him again. Let’s get back to work.” Assistant Qin pushed Secretary Han out of the office.
In the courtyard of the Li family’s house, after the call, Li Yanchen put his phone in silent mode and placed it on the table.
He lay down on the recliner to enjoy the cool air.
[I forgot that Mr. Li still has a job. Hahahaha.]
[Me too! I almost thought he was a celebrity. I forgot that he has a company in Yun City to take care of.]
[I vaguely heard Mr. Li say not to ask him about the company matters. Does that mean Mr. Li doesn’t want to be a CEO anymore? He isn’t considering quitting the company, right?]
[Mr. Li is going to retreat? Well, he could afford to not work for the rest of his life. If I have billions of assets under my name, I will retire too. I am thirty years old, but my savings is o.]
[I checked whether they have nursery homes for people in their thirties. I want to retire too! My heart and my body are barely functioning.]
[I guess everyone hates working.]
Lin Wan had spent about an hour learning guitar from Li Zexuan. She had learned a lot. She was now more confident and motivated. She even wanted to strike while the iron was hot. However, Li Zexuan was not happy with her progress.
“That’s all for today. I’ve taught you this song thirty times, Ms. Lin,” said Li
Zexuan. “Why is it so hard for you? Have you never played the guitar before?”
Lin Wan quickly lowered the volume of the live stream. “There are no students who cannot learn, only teachers who can’t teach well.”
Li Zexuan was appalled.
Li Zekai took the opportunity to add to the chaos. “Auntie Lin is right. Brother, maybe you didn’t teach her well. Also, you need to be more patient. You are becoming mean again.”
Li Zexuan was at a loss. “You played Für Elise quite well last time. You corrected your mistakes so fast. Why are you so clumsy today?”
Lin Wan leaned on the table and mumbled, “I have only learned that one song since my university days. I only played that.”
“So, you just memorized the notes to that one song without knowing the basics of how to play the guitar?” asked Li Zexuan.
“Lower your voice. This is being broadcasted live.” Lin Wan glanced at the bullet screen.
Li Zexuan facepalmed himself.
[I can hear it even if you lower the volume. How is Lin Wan so cute? Who still remembers the incident from the first episode?]
[I remember that Xuanxuan played a song and asked Mr. Li how it was. He wanted Mr. Li’s praise, but Mr. Li didn’t say anything. Sister Wan stood up for Xuanxuan and even scolded Mr. Li. She praised Xuanxuan. She also said that she liked to play the guitar and had learned it a little. She asked Xuanxuan to teach her.]
[I remember now. So, at that time, Lin Wan only said it for Xuanxan’s sake. She doesn’t actually know how to play the guitar. She only knows one song.]
[Lin Wan said she learned it in her university. It turns out she only played “Für Elise” for seven or eight years and relied on this song to make a living in the world.]
[@Previous Poster, I was originally touched, but, now that you said it in that way, I can’t stop laughing.]
[She is so adorable. Everyone scolded her for being lazy that time, but she just wasn’t familiar with the family members. ]
“I am really interested to learn. I just didn’t have anyone to teach me,” said Lin Wan.
[Xuanxuan’s face is slowly crumbling. Hahaha. He taught her the same song thirty times! ]
[Lin Wan, what are you thinking? You can make desserts, but you hide that from all of us. You don’t know how to play the guitar, but you still pretend to Imow it because you learned one song? It’s all opposite. Are you trying to surprise us repeatedly?]
‘Can they still hear it even after I lowered the volume?’ Lin Wan glanced at the comments.
Now, everyone knew that she had lied.
Lin Wan turned her back to the camera. “Li Zexuan, I’m your mother. A son can’t lecture his mother.”
Li Zexuan was speechless. If he didn’t regain his dignity, he would never get a chance.
Li Zexuan’s mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t decide.
Lin Wan interrupted him. “Do you want ginger milk? I will make it for you. Go to the backyard and dig some ginger. Go.”
Li Zexuan put down his guitar and went to the backyard. He was smiling.
[Xuanxuan, are you such a foodie? You changed your attitude a little too quickly.]
[Lin Wan deserves everything in life.]
[Don’t you care about your reputation in the entertainment industry? There’s still the burden of being an idol in the entertainment industry, okay? How can you say that you’ve been in the entertainment industry for eight years and only relied on one song to survive?]
[What’s this new thing about ginger milk? Why haven’t I heard of it before? Is it milk boiled with ginger?]
[I wonder if it’s tea or dessert? Is this a new item?]
[Seeing how Xuanxuan hurried off, it must taste very good. Ginger and milk both are healthy, after all. Please reveal the secret in the Sweet Little Circle live stream!]
Li Yanchen got up from the chair when he heard her. ‘Wanwan, what is ginger milk? Is it food or a drink? I want some too.’
“Xuanxuan hurried away so fast that I feel like he had it before. Why wasn’t I allowed to try?” Li Yanchen said unhappily. ‘Are Lin Wan and the children eating delicious food behind my back?’
“Xinxin had a cold. You weren’t home. You were on a business trip. I made him some ginger milk. Xuanxuan and Jiejie tried some too,” she explained. She realized Li Yanchen had never tasted it before.
“Daddy, it’s like pudding. It’s chewy and delicious. It’s just milk, but it turns as thick as a pudding.” Li Zekai didn’t like ginger, but he liked the ginger milk that Lin Wan had made.
“Auntie Lin, can I have some too?” the little boy asked expectantly..
