Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationEditor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing the girl wearing a school uniform and carrying big and small bags, Li Jingran’s eyes were suffused with a hint of doting. “Did you bring the item?”
“I got it!” Xu Wanwan immediately took out the documents from her bag and handed them to Li Jingran. The moment she handed them to him, the hair on the side of her face fell from her ear.
Li Jingran’s eyes were gentle. He raised his hand to brush away the hair from the girl’s ear, but his fingers deliberately stayed by her ear for a moment.
Xu Wanwan stood rooted to the ground, blushing.
She felt a little embarrassed, so she smiled uncomfortably and took out the snacks she had bought from the other bag.
Li Jingran looked down and looked at the Little Bear Biscuit in the girl’s hand. He couldn’t help but laugh. “You bought this for me?”
Xu Wanwan was even more embarrassed. “Well, I don’t know what you like to eat, so I just bought some..”
“Well, I’ll take it then.”
“Okay, you guys continue. I’m going home.”
Xu Wanwan quickly packed up her schoolbag and tumed around to leave.
“Play in the office for a while. Wait for me.”
Xu Wanwan was stunned, but she still listened to the man. She carried her schoolbag and sat in the corner of the sofa. She took out a book from her bag and began to read it casually.
At this moment, Secretary Lin, who had been standing next to Li Jingran, had a complicated expression on her face.
She watched in a daze as Li Jingran opened the Little Bear Biscuit. The man’s slender fingers took out an extremely soft and cute biscuit, opened his thin lips slightly, and ate it!
Secretary Lin’s eyes widened, and she subconsciously pinched herself.
This was not a dream!
Big Boss Li usually only drank sugar-free coffee without milk and never ate snacks and desserts. However, he was actually eating the cookies given by Xu Wanwan.
“What are you waiting for? Continue.”
Li Jingran’s eyes slightly lifted and he glanced at Secretary Lin.
“Um.. Director Li, I was talking about the company’s recent investment plan.” Secretary Lin finally recovered and continued to work, “Recently, there is a construction company that has great prospects for development. If we are successful in our investment, we will need a set of design drawings from the
top design masters in the industry.”
“Only then can we mobilize its market value to its maximum extent. It is said that many companies in the market are now fighting for an investment spot. As long as we get the best design drawings first, we will get this opportunity.”
Li Jingran played with the biscuit in his hand and said indifferently, “Then go find someone to design it.”
“Director Li, the top designer in the industry, Master Nanshan, has recently come out, but..”
Secretary Lin sighed softly. “But Master Nanshan never designs for money. He only looks at Fate.”
In fact, she knew in her heart that it would be very difficult to get this done.
It was not easy to invite Master Nanshan. Moreover, there were many people competing for this opportunity
Li Jingran frowned imperceptibly, “Send a few more people to invite him. The company will reward anyone who can get him 10 million.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Secretary Lin nodded and said, “By the way, Director Li, the company has recently had a batch of employees due for a reward. What should be our arrangement this time?”
“According to the usual practice, everyone will receive a five million bonus.”
After Secretary Lin finished her work, she walked out with a stack of documents in her arms.
Xu Wanwan was sitting on the sofa in boredom. She had accidentally overheard what they were discussing just now and was curious, so she searched for Master Nanshan’s personal profile on the Internet.
According to what she had just learned, Master Nanshan was the most famous architect in the industry and had designed blueprints for many famous buildings.
But the most important thing was that Master Nanshan had come out of retirement this time to take in another closed-door disciple. There were already many people who had signed up online.
Xu Wanwan gripped her phone, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.
If she could become Master Nanshan’s disciple, wouldn’t she be able to help the Li Corporation obtain his blueprints?
Xu Wanwan was a little excited. She really wanted to help Li Jingran. After signing up online, she left her contact information.
She put down her phone and let out a sigh. When she looked up, she met Li Jingran’s deep eyes.
“What are you doing?”
historical
Xu Wanwan put her phone away and smiled. “I was playing with my phone just now. Are you done with your work?”
Li Jingran got up and sat down beside the girl. He glanced at the traffic outside the French window and pretended to be helpless. “The company has a lot of things to deal with recently. I have to work overtime tonight.”
Xu Wanwan frowned in heartache. “Ah? Why are you busier than the other employees?”
“Because I’m their boss. Naturally, I have to deal with more things,” Li Jingran explained to the girl in amusement.
‘The comers of Xu Wanwan’s lips curled up slightly. “I thought that being the big boss would make you more relaxed and happy. After all, everyone under you has to listen to the Big Boss.”
“But you work so hard and have to work late every day. You might as well not be the Big Boss.”
Hearing the girl muttering in a low voice, the corners of Li Jingran’s lips twitched slightly. He tumed to look at her. “If I wasn’t the president of Li Corporation, would you still stay by my side?”
“Of course!” Xu Wanwan looked into the man’s eyes. Her eyes were clear and bright. “You’re so good to me, so what if you’re not the Big Boss?”
“If your job would be easier, then I hope you didn’t have to be a boss.”
She said the last sentence in a very low voice.
But Li Jingran heard it clearly, and his heart seemed to be wrapped by something soft.
He lowered his eyes and chuckled. “Then I’m afraid I can’t satisfy your wish.”
“I know it’s not easy for you either.” Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “So I also want to help you more.”
“But my ability is limited now. When I become more powerful in the future, I’ll be able to help you more.”
‘There was no trace of impurity in her eyes. She did not say anything from the perspective of profit but simply wanted to share the burden with Li Jingran.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you to become stronger.”
The man’s side profile became even more gentle. He raised his wrist to look at the time and said calmly, “Stay at the company for dinner today. Let the driver pick you up later.”
Xu Wanwan also realized that she had not had dinner with him for a long time. She nodded obediently and said, “Okay.”
After playing in the office for a while, Secretary Lin pushed in the dining cart.
Because of Xu Wanwan’s arrival, Li Jingran especially added a few dishes.
Xu Wanwan looked at the dishes on the table in surprise and found that they were all her favorite dishes.
“Do you usually like to eat these too?”
She asked with a smile as she took a bowl. She picked up a small piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into her mouth.
Li Jingran saw her satisfied face and laughed. “So, you usually like to eat these, too?”
“Yes!” Xu Wanwan smiled. “These are all my favorites. I didn’t expect you to have the same taste as me!”
Could it be that after eating together for a long time, their tastes had also assimilated?
Xu Wanwan still remembered clearly that when she first came to Xu’s house, Li Jingran had eaten sandwiches, toast, steak, and red wine. They did not smell good at all..
