Part Two: The Great Sugar of the East, Chapter 259: Tingting
." The voice was low and incredibly soft, with an expression of utter tenderness.Shu Tinglan stiffened all over, turning his head slightly to look at the person who had come. He could only glare angri...When she's cold, it's like a "keep out" aura. Her expression, her words, even her demeanor all scream corporate woman boss.
Taking the stage, he delivered a concise and impactful presentation about his understanding of this commercial building and its design philosophy. Each sentence was carefully crafted, conveying essential information without any unnecessary elaboration.
Even Zhao Tingxing couldn't help but be attracted to her design ideas after hearing them.
"Mr. Zhao, how is it Are you satisfied"
Zhao Tingxing nodded. Her design ideas were indeed good, that was undeniable.
"Mr. Cheng continued, "I'm cooperating with you on this project because of Miss Yan. After all, your company lacks experience in this field. I hope you can cooperate well with Mr. Han Li and complete this building successfully."
After Mr. Cheng finished speaking, the meeting adjourned. He turned and smiled at Han Li, saying, "Come to my office for a while, let's have dinner together tonight."
"Okay," Han Li replied casually, bending down to tidy up his computer. It was just the kind of easygoing conversation you'd have with old friends.
As the two walked out of the conference room side by side, Mr. Cheng's voice faintly came from inside: "By the way, pick up the little guy too. I haven't seen him in a while."
"Okay."
Cheng Shaofan's company, Han Li often came to. He went to his office and, familiar with the surroundings, found a place in the reception area and opened his computer to work.
Cheng Shaofan casually sat across from her, "Why are you still so driven"
"It's a matter of necessity," she quipped with mock seriousness.
"Driven by necessity Spending all your earnings on other men"
"That's going too far!" Han Li warned him with a glance, "Even if I was close to you, I wouldn't want anyone commenting on my love life. Right or wrong, that's my own decision."
Moreover, one thing should be clear: Zhao Tingxing never used a single penny of her money. When she unilaterally paid for him, he repaid her both the principal and the interest.
Cheng Shaofan raised his hands in surrender and smiled, "I was wrong. I won't mention it again."
After speaking, he got up from the chair opposite and returned to his desk to busy himself with work.
In the spacious office, they each occupied a corner, the scene surprisingly harmonious.
Han Li was focused on the company's WeChat group, looking at the weekly work plan submitted by her employees. After reviewing and giving instructions on some important matters, she looked up to see that it was already time to clock out.
Cheng Shaofan had already finished his own work and was now leaning back in his office chair, his feet casually resting on his desk, playing a game on his phone while waiting for her to get off work.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw her put away her computer. He hurriedly put down his phone and got up to come over: "Go get Xiao Zhaocai."
Cheng Shaofan was driving a Maybach, which stopped at the kindergarten entrance with Han Li inside. It certainly attracted attention. As they got out of the car, they drew the attention of many parents. The woman was dressed in a professional and elegant manner, while the man was charming and dashing. They were a well-matched couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
It was just dismissal time from kindergarten. Han Zhaoyi, with his little backpack and water bottle in hand, came out and saw them at once. He ran over happily: "Mom, Dad Cheng."
Cheng Shaofan took a step ahead of her, lifting Han Zhaoyi in his arms: "You've gotten heavier again. Your father Cheng can't even hold you anymore."
Han Zhao Yi pinched his face with both hands: "Dad Cheng is even more handsome."
Han Li said from the side: “Come down, your father Cheng might pull a hamstring again if he sees this and blame you.”
Han Zhaoyi: “Oh, right, Father Cheng has a bad back.”
Cheng Shaofan instantly darkened his face: “Don't say a man has a bad waist!”
Just then, a shadow suddenly enveloped them from the side, and an extremely cold voice said: "Is it appropriate for you adults to tell dirty jokes in front of children"
Han Li stiffened, turned around, and saw Zhao Ting standing behind them at some point. He looked at them with an extremely grim expression.
When Han Zhaoyi saw Zhao Tingxing, she slid down from Cheng Shaofan's body and greeted him happily: "Zhao Tingxing, are you here to pick me up too"
Children's joy and anger are all written on their faces. It is the happiest thing for mom to come pick him up, and dad to come pick him up too.
Zhao Tingxing frowned. He used to think it was quite endearing when Han Zhaoyi called him by his name, but today, something about it felt off.
"Others are called 'Dad' by someone, but here I'm just Zhao Ting"
So he was still frowning and his tone was bad: “Friday night, we agreed you’d come to school with me today.”
Han Zhao Yi scratched his head, a little troubled: "Oh, but Mom and Dad Cheng are also coming to pick me up. Why don't we all go together"
Well, he thought that was best, with his parents and Dad Cheng there with him.
Han Li's first reaction was to refuse, she wanted to say, "Go with Zhao Tingxing then." Anyway, she and Cheng Shaofan could see him anytime, it didn't matter.
But Cheng Shaofan had no understanding with her at all, and said with a smile: “Okay, as long as Zhao doesn't mind.”
He was generous, and Zhao Tingxing couldn't appear stingy either, so he also smiled and said, "Sure."
From the kindergarten gate to the parking lot, Han Zhao Yi was in a dilemma again. On one side was his mother's and Cheng Dad's car, and on the other side was his father's car. Which one should he sit in
Cheng Shao Fan didn't give him a chance to hesitate, directly shouting: "Get in the car, there's a surprise in the back seat."
At the mere mention of a surprise, Han Zhao Yi didn't hesitate for a second. He obediently climbed into the backseat of the Maybach. A child's world is simple, and he felt completely secure, needing no appeasement from his father or mother. Of course, he chose what he wanted with his own free will.
Cheng Shaofan drove ahead with his wife and child, while Zhao Tingxing followed behind. After turning several corners and driving for a while, they arrived at a family restaurant.
After the four of them were seated, Han Zhaoyi could sense that the atmosphere was off, especially Zhao Tingxing. He looked quite menacing.
"Can I go to the playground next door" He thought it would be better to go play.
This table here offers a 360-degree view of the amusement park, so Han Li nodded. "Let's go."
Only three adults remained at the table. Han Li lowered her head and used her phone to scan the QR code to order, first ordering a children's meal for Han Zhao'yi, then passing the phone to Cheng Shao Fan: “What do you want to eat”
Chéng Shàofān didn't answer his phone. He leaned over and swiped at her phone a few times: "I want this salad, I've been working out recently."
Hàn Lì finished her phone call, put it back on the table, and looked at Hàn Zhāoyì by the amusement park. She ignored Zhào Tíngxíng; although she thought it was unnecessary, facing him, she didn't even want to maintain basic courtesy.
Opposite Zhao Ting walked over and looked at her in disbelief. Was she intentionally ignoring him So childish!
However, Cheng Shaofan kindly reminded: "Zhao Zong, you can order food through the QR code on the table."
He reminded everyone, and then started playing games on his phone.
Three adults, though they came together, were like strangers. One was watching the child, another was playing games, and the last one was coldly ordering food, not saying a word throughout the whole process.
Cheng Shaofan is a diligent and hardworking person when he's at work, but once he's off the clock, he becomes a carefree young master who goes with the flow.
