Chapter 97: Tactical Milk Drinking
"Zi Nan, there's no need to stay overnight."
Li Ming refused decisively without any hesitation.
Zhao Zinan smiled indifferently: "Not staying overnight? Then I can go back with you tonight and chat.
We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and you don't even want to reminisce with me.
Either you feel guilty or you feel there is no friendship between us."
Hearing this, Zhao Huiya raised her head to drink the milk, then lowered her head to take a sip. She chose to drink the milk tactically.
Li Ming also saw that Zhao Huiya was really guilty. Facing Zhao Zinan's sincere and straightforward questioning, Li Ming knew that he could not be perfunctory.
He shook his head and smiled, "We have been chatting about the past from the afternoon until the evening, and together with cooking and eating, we have been looking for it for quite a while.
Zinan, I really have something to do tomorrow. I have to get up early to go to Jingtong Logistics Company, so I can't stay up late tonight."
Hearing this, Zhao Zinan raised his eyebrows.
Her eyebrows are very unique, like sword-like eyebrows and willow-like eyebrows. When she is unhappy, she has some heroic spirit of a man.
She asked in confusion: "Jingtong Logistics? The only business our company connects with Jingtong is handling robots.
At present, we just have the intention, and they still need to come over to discuss the details. Whether we agree or not is another matter.
They should be the ones asking us for help. Besides, this matter should be handled by the project department, not your planning department. What are you doing at Jingtong Logistics?"
Li Ming was surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Zinan, who had just returned from studying abroad, was so familiar with the company's business.
Zhao Huiya also looked up, the questioning look on her face was self-evident; she had always kept public and private affairs separate.
Li Ming also knew that going to Jingtong Logistics Company to help Wang Zhenhui was his own private matter. Not only did he have to explain it clearly, he also had to obtain Zhao Huiya's consent, and he could not take up the company's working hours.
He looked at the two girls and said with a smile, "Aunt Zhao, Zinan. I promised Wang Zhenhui that I would represent Jingtong Logistics to participate in the National Logistics Operation Competition."
Zhao Huiya was surprised and said, "You actually have talent in this area? I know a little about this competition. It is quite important in the entire logistics industry."
Then, she added: “Major logistics organizations across the country and the top supply chain companies will participate.
This will be helpful when you start a company. There is no problem in participating in such large-scale events that can improve yourself.
You are on vacation now, and you still have four days off. It won't take up your work time. In addition, if the time is not enough, I will approve two more days for you."
Hearing this, Li Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try to get a rank."
As soon as these words came out.
Zhao Huiya didn't comment, just smiled and nodded.
Participants in this kind of large-scale event are all top talents in the industry. It is a special honor to be able to participate. Even if you don’t win a prize, it can broaden your horizons.
As a layman, it is unlikely that Li Ming will win the award.
Zhao Huiya put down the milk in her hand and said nonchalantly: "Zinan, since Xiaoming has something important to do, you can catch up some other day. There is no need to rush tonight."
Li Ming also said in tacit understanding: "Yes, wait until I come back from the competition, we will have plenty of time."
Zhao Zinan's eyes lit up, and she said, "That's perfect!
Doesn't Jingtong Logistics want to cooperate with me? I can go with you and observe them secretly.
Mom, don't worry, I will give you and the company a comprehensive assessment of this project when I come back."
After saying that, she didn't say anything else and trotted into the room.
She dragged out the unopened suitcase and said happily, "Let's go to Jingtong Logistics together tomorrow. You go to the competition and I go to inspect. It's perfect."
Zhao Huiya's hand holding the milk trembled, and she couldn't help but look at Li Ming, staring at each other in bewilderment.
The two had no reason to refuse, and they could see that Zhao Zinan was determined to follow Li Ming.
Their hearts are as clear as a mirror.
Zhao Zinan just wanted to use work as an excuse to keep pestering Li Ming.
If Zhao Huiya loses her composure, she will never let her daughter live with Li Ming, otherwise it will be a mess.
Although she did not suggest that Li Ming have other women around him!
But that woman can't be her precious daughter!
Of course she knew that Li Ming would restrain himself, but with Zhao Zinan's momentum and attitude, if he kept pestering Li Ming, something bad would definitely happen.
Zhao Huiya stood up and said seriously: "Nannan, you can't go!"
Zhao Zinan seemed to have expected this, she walked over and pulled Zhao Huiya and said coquettishly: "Mom, I know what you are worried about.
Hehe, Li Ming and I are close buddies, and I would be a fool to let him take advantage of me.
I mainly want to discuss the affairs of Beijing Tong Logistics and catch up on the past, all for the company.
There are two rooms where he lives, so it should be no problem for us to have one each.
Mom, just let me go, okay?"
Zhao Zinan shook Zhao Huiya's hand, his black eyes full of anticipation and his voice soft and coquettish.
Li Ming listened nearby and quietly retreated towards the door.
"Li Ming!"
Zhao Zinan changed from being a spoiled child to being normal again, gave him a look and pursed her lips.
It goes without saying that Li Ming should wait outside.
Zhao Huiya sighed and said, "Xiaoming, don't go back tonight. Stay here. There are still many empty rooms."
Li Ming looked back. He couldn't tell what emotions Zhao Huiya was feeling, but her subconscious action of stroking her hair betrayed her.
Li Ming nodded stiffly: "Okay."
Zhao Zinan smiled on his elegant face, and said mischievously, "I'm not forcing you to do that. Hehe... Recently, there is a very popular chicken feet style in King of Glory. Let's try it together tonight."
Chicken feet flow?
Li Ming hadn't played games for a long time and didn't know what the new genre was.
However, it seemed that she wanted to stay up all night with him. A girl's behavior was no different from that of a boy. This was one of the reasons why Li Ming treated her as a "brother".
Zhao Huiya said lovingly, "Nannan, Mom misses you so much, please stay with me tonight.
Come on, let's go wash up, it's almost time to rest."
As she said that, she took Zhao Zinan's hand and went into the room.
"Mom, I..." Zhao Zinan was stunned and hesitated to speak.
Zhao Huiya walked into the room while pulling Zhao Zinan, and said unhappily: "What are you talking about? Don't you miss your mother?"
Zhao Zinan said: "I want to! But..."
Watching the mother and daughter enter the room and close the door, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought about it, then left in a state of confusion and did not stay any longer.
When I got back to the house, the phone started ringing.
He didn't answer the call. After replying to Zhao Zinan's message, he planned to take a rest.
He now lives in Zhao Huiya's house and does feel an inexplicable sense of insecurity.
I always feel that Zhao Zinan will suddenly open the door and rush in. What will he come in for?
Li Ming guessed that she might drag him to play games, watch horror movies, or watch TV series all night, and then order barbecue.
After all, this was her usual style.
Li Ming is not an innocent virgin who doesn't understand anything. Many accidents happen during their natural and ordinary interactions.
What should I do if something unexpected happens to Zhao Zinan one day?
Li Ming couldn't help but think subconsciously...
