The woman’s voice was soft and weak, full of pity. She knew that Li Zhiyan and Zhao Shumin had a great relationship, so she didn’t want to delay Li Zhiyan.
"Alright, Aunt, I’ll get going then."
Li Zhiyan keenly noticed the faint, slender scars on the snow-white jade-like hand that the woman exposed.
These wounds were probably caused by sothing like willow branches recently, but Li Zhiyan couldn’t concern herself too much with this right now. After all, she wasn’t familiar with this woman.
Right now, punching in at work was the priority. As for the big opportunities at Changlong Group, Li Zhiyan was filled with anticipation.
On the way, Li Zhiyan thought about calling Aunt Zaizai to discuss the date.
But then she realized Aunt Zaizai was probably sleeping while holding her little Zaizai at this hour—sleep deprivation was no joke.
Might as well let her sleep a bit longer, since Aunt Rong probably wouldn’t be coming over in the morning.
Just as Li Zhiyan had predicted, Lai Feifei was sound asleep at this ti.
Shen Hongi, who had already freshened up and eaten breakfast, had returned upstairs in her slippers. She had intended to ask Lai Feifei if she wanted breakfast.
But looking at her state, it was clearly not happening!
"Rongrong really nailed it,"
Shen Hongi noted that waking Lai Feifei up in the morning was practically harder than stopping her from drinking!
Having tidied everything up, Shen Hongi grabbed the keys to her Audi and decided to head to the office.
She hadn’t been gone for long when Lai Feifei was jolted awake by a strong urge to pee.
Indeed, she had drunk quite a bit of alcohol the night before.
After going to the bathroom, Aunt Lai quickly crawled back into bed, planning to get so glorious extra sleep.
"It’s still early. eting Zaizai at ten won’t be delayed,"
"But it’s better to call Zaizai for a bit of comfort first!"
Lai Feifei used the voice assistant Xiaoyi to dial Li Zhiyan’s number. Soon, Li Zhiyan’s voice rang out.
"Hello, Aunt Zaizai."
"Zaizai, did you miss Aunt? Aunt’s little man."
"I did."
"But, Aunt, I’m 21 years old now—not a little man anymore, I’m a grown man."
"Alright, Zaizai, Aunt was wrong. You’re Aunt’s good Zaizai."
"Zaizai, by the way, are you overthinking things in your head? Feeling insecure? Honestly, it’s normal to be inexperienced at first—it’s already quite impressive."
"It’s perfectly fine; things will gradually improve over ti."
Li Zhiyan played along with Aunt Zaizai’s little act yet again.
"Aunt, don’t worry. I understand. Aunt knows everything, so with Aunt around, I believe things will only get better! I have confidence in myself."
"That’s good. Aunt will sleep a little more first."
"I’ll send you a WeChat ssage later. Aunt rembers all our date details perfectly."
"Okay!"
After hanging up, just as Lai Feifei planned to catch a nap, she received a phone call.
"Hello, Director Lai, the triple folding ones you wanted have arrived."
"Yes, I’m outside the villa."
"Two units..."
...
Pulling up outside the company, Li Zhiyan saw Evelyn driving up in a sleek new Ferrari SF90.
What surprised Li Zhiyan was that a Lamborghini Aventador stopped shortly afterward.
"What era are we in, and you’re still driving a Ferrari!"
As soon as she stepped out of the car, Catherine wasted no ti taking a jab! Ever since Li Zhiyan gave her face yesterday, letting her take a win against Evelyn, Catherine had been riding a high! She finally managed to suppress that woman.
"The new model Bull is out, and you’re still driving an old model Bull. How embarrassing!"
"I’ve already ordered the new model—it’s just that the delivery date is too late!"
A new Lamborghini Revuelto had just been released, and Catherine had placed her order as soon as it ca out. But the queues were ridiculously long, so it wouldn’t be delivered until next year.
"I’ll order one too!"
Evelyn grumbled under her breath, cursing as the two squabbled their way to the elevator.
Neither seed to resemble the company president or a high-ranking executive at all. Watching the scene, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of emotion—sure enough, a competitive streak can really alter soone’s personality.
When they entered the executive elevator, both of them noticed Li Zhiyan at the sa ti. Catherine found herself increasingly fond of Li Zhiyan.
That kid giving her face yesterday had truly been satisfying!
The mixed-race mature beauty Evelyn waved at Li Zhiyan cheerfully.
"Co, Li Zhiyan, co ride Aunt’s elevator."
Catherine silently cursed to herself—this damned mixed-race bitch was trying to gain favor and cut her off by using such petty tricks to win over Li Zhiyan’s goodwill?
"Li Zhiyan, co over here,"
"I’ll swipe the card for you."
As the envious eyes of the crowd waiting in line outside burned into him, Li Zhiyan made his way toward the executive elevator.
Executive elevators were certainly fast. This ti, Li Zhiyan didn’t miss clocking in; he was even seven minutes early.
"Li Zhiyan, co to my office for a mont."
"Li Zhiyan, co to Aunt’s office for a mont."
Evelyn looked at Li Zhiyan expectantly—she really wanted to smooth things over with him and maybe get him to help her massage her feet.
At that mont, she also noticed that Li Zhiyan’s half-zippered bag contained several cartons of Zaizai Milk!
This boy liking that kind of drink was truly interesting.
To be honest, Evelyn didn’t have any outright hatred for Li Zhiyan. The earlier attempts to bully him had been solely to stick up for her good friend.
But nothing mattered more to her than crushing Catherine. If she couldn’t beat her, she wouldn’t rest easy for life.
