After he and Ren Baozhu finalized all aspects of enlarging Lily jewelry, Lin Mai went to Tao Zhiyun to prepare for her business trip.
She walked out of the office and saw Tao Zhiyun holding two boiling water bottles in his hands and walking towards the boiler room. He turned on the water at first glance.
Lin Mai took two steps to catch up with her and took a boiling water bottle from her hand.
Tao Zhiyun was startled. When he turned around and saw Lin Mai, his expression suddenly softened: "I was shocked~"
Lin Mai looked her up and down: "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it? You didn't even hear my footsteps."
"I heard the footsteps, but I didn't expect you to take the bottle from my hand without saying a word."
"That's it." Lin Mai stopped dwelling on this issue and said, "Sister Tao, I have a job I want to arrange for you to do."
Tao Zhiyun asked: "What job?"
"On business trip."
Tao Zhiyun was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Why do you think of arranging a business trip for me? You clearly know that I have children to take care of."
Lin Mai told her the reason why she had to go on this mission, and then said: "Actually, I am quite hesitant about letting you go on this mission."
"Is it because of Qiqi? I can ask my parents to help take care of her for a few days. You don't have to worry about this." After hearing Lin Mai's explanation, Tao Zhiyun decided to go on this business trip.
"I'm not worried about this." Lin Mai shook his head, "Even if your parents don't have time to take care of the child, I can still help you take care of Qiqi."
Tao Zhiyun said in confusion: "If that's the case, then why do you have any hesitation?"
Lin Mai looked at her but hesitated to speak.
After being silent for a while, he said: "I'm worried about your mental state~"
Tao Zhiyun became more and more confused: "My mental state? What do you mean?"
"You've been in a very bad mental state during this period. You don't know it, right?"
Tao Zhiyun looked astonished: "You mean, when you talked to me during the meeting just now, I didn't respond?"
"It's not just that incident, there are many similar things."
Tao Zhiyun smiled: "Just because of these things, you think my mental state is not good?"
Lin Mai nodded.
Tao Zhiyun sighed softly: "To tell you the truth, it's all because of my mother that I'm so upset."
Lin Mai asked with concern: "What's wrong, aunt?"
The two people talked, entered the boiler room, and put the boiling water bottle under the hot water faucet to receive water.
Tao Zhiyun sighed and said: "My mother asked someone to introduce me to a partner and forced me to go on a blind date."
"You don't want to? Then just tell Auntie directly. Auntie is not unreasonable."
Tao Zhiyun smiled bitterly and said: "My mother is really unreasonable on this matter.
As soon as he saw me in person, he started to do some ideological work for me and told me how good that man was.
I am forced to go on a blind date, which puts a lot of pressure on me."
Lin Mai was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want me to talk to my aunt and ask her not to arrange a blind date for you for the time being?"
Tao Zhiyun hurriedly refused: "No! I'm afraid my mother will be angry~"
Lin Mai sighed helplessly.
This is Chinese-style parents who like to arrange everything for their children.
Tao Zhiyun patted her shoulder: "Okay, don't worry about me.
I'm going on this business trip just as a trip to relax, maybe I won't feel so depressed."
Lin Mai nodded: "I will arrange a business trip for you after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After the two people filled the boiling water, they turned around with the boiling water bottles and saw Tang Shunying walking in with a large enamel jar.
Lin Mai saw it and said casually: "Why did you bring a cup to get water? Isn't there boiling water in the office?"
Under normal circumstances, there is no boiling water in the office, and no one will just bring their own water cup to the boiler room to fetch water.
He would only fetch water from a boiling water bottle like Tao Zhiyun, otherwise he would look too selfish.
If there is water in the office, it would be weird to go out to fetch it.
Tang Shunying smiled unnaturally: "There is water in the office, and I just wanted to get some water to cool off. Unexpectedly, Director Lin caught me in the act."
Lin Mai didn't say much and left with Tao Zhiyun.
Tang Shunying breathed out secretly.
After helping Tao Zhiyun deliver the boiled water bottles to the office, Lin Mai went to the mall to buy some nutritional supplements for Mr. Zheng.
It was a hot day and the old man was working diligently, so she had to buy some gifts to express her condolences.
...
Chen Feng had already returned to the construction site on his beloved motorcycle.
On the construction site, the workers were working enthusiastically.
Regardless of his age, Mr. Zheng guided the inspection at the scene.
After Chen Feng persuaded him for a long time, he asked him to go back to the rest room prepared by him at the construction site to rest for a while and come back after an hour. Only then did Mr. Zheng leave the construction site.
Chen Feng continued to inspect.
He is not a bridge engineer and cannot instruct workers on how to build overpasses.
But he can supervise workers not to cut corners or cheat.
He hadn't even been on the construction site for a quarter of an hour when a younger brother came over and told him that a woman was looking for him.
He placed the woman in Chen Feng's office at the construction site to wait for him.
Chen Feng asked in confusion: "Which woman?"
Ever since he met Lin Mai, he had not incurred any romantic debts for a long time. How could a woman come to him?
The younger brother scratched his head and said, "I don't know her, but she is a very beautiful and stylish woman in her thirties."
Chen Feng was full of suspicion.
He doesn't like his sister and has never messed with a woman in her thirties. Who is this woman?
He strode back to his office, pushed open the door, and motionless as if someone had tapped his acupuncture points, staring at the woman in the room in disbelief.
That woman was indeed as my brother said, very beautiful and very fashionable.
The woman was sitting at her desk doing nothing, looking down at the pitted and worn-out desk, wondering what she was thinking about.
Hearing the sound of the office door being pushed open, she looked over.
As soon as she saw Chen Feng, the woman's eyes turned red, and tears gradually overflowed from her eyes.
She slowly stood up from the chair, excited and timid, and choked with sobs and shouted: "A Feng~"
Chen Feng had long since recovered from his initial surprise. His eyes turned cold and he closed the door.
He asked sarcastically: "What are you here for? Are you here to see if I am dead?"
The beautiful woman suddenly burst into tears: "Afeng, how could you say that to my mother? My mother had no choice but to do it back then."
Chen Feng said impatiently: "Okay, what happened back then has passed. I am not interested in what is right and what is wrong. You can go."
Mother Chen's tears were like a river bursting its banks: "A Feng, my mother traveled thousands of miles across the ocean and went through all kinds of hardships to find you. How could you let me go?"
Chen Feng said coldly: "Did I ask you to come to me? Do I have to accept you just because you come to me?"
When you abandoned me to marry overseas, you didn't ask me if I agreed.
Now you come back to see me, and you don’t even ask me if I want you to come see me. You have the final say in everything?"
He said word by word: "I am no longer the three or four-year-old child I used to be. I am already an adult!"
Mother Chen said sadly: "Are you resenting Mom?"
Chen Feng's face became colder and colder. He no longer felt that his biological mother was extremely beautiful, but only felt that she looked disgusting.
Isn't it normal for him to resent her when she abandoned him?
