Chapter 340: Lao Yao, stop working. Exhausting yourself to death is not considered a work injury.

He had said it so clearly and understandably, even though Ke Bing had countless words of dissuasion in his heart, they were all blocked now.

Most people hate being preached to, especially when someone else preaches to them. But when they put themselves in another role, they often involuntarily become the kind of person they hate.

Ke Bing is in this situation now. She usually doesn’t like her parents to educate her with old-fashioned ideas, but isn’t the same true for what she has been holding back? She wants to tell Chen Yuan that at your age, you are most likely to be bewitched by seemingly beautiful love. If someone is a little bit nice to you, you can’t help but open your heart and lungs, and you can’t wait to tell everyone that you have met true love and have the best girlfriend in the world. But the only thing that doesn’t change in this world is that people will change. You can’t believe everything you say during the passionate love. The vows of love can’t withstand the ups and downs of reality. By then, it will be too late to make a mess…

Perhaps at this moment, Chen Yuan in Ke Bing’s eyes is just a stubborn brother who won’t turn back until he hits the wall.

Over there on the phone.

Ke Bing opened his mouth but said nothing.

“Sister Rourou, if you have nothing else to do, I will first–“

“Wait a minute,” Ke Bing took a deep breath and adjusted his tone: “Let’s not talk about this for now. Although I really want to persuade you, I actually have no right to make decisions, right… I called you mainly to send you a gift. Xiaoyuan, please send me the address later.”

“No need, Sister Rourou, just a happy birthday will do,” Chen Yuan said politely and tactfully, “I’m already very happy that you remembered my birthday.”

“Xiao Yuan… I really want to apologize to you. I thought a lot about it after you left Sanya last time. Really…”

“That’s it for now. I still have a lot of things to do here. Sister Rourou, I’ll hang up first.”

“Xiao Yuan——Huh?!”

As a series of beeps sounded on the phone, Chen Yuan’s shoulders suddenly relaxed and he let out a long breath.

It’s really tiring to communicate with her.

It’s not because Chen Yuan is not good at dealing with girls, but because every word he says to Ke Bing carries a heavy psychological burden, which is mixed with the heaviness of the past, inexplicable guilt and the entanglement of not knowing how to express it.

Fortunately, the matter was settled.

Chen Yuan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and suddenly felt relaxed. He then sat down in his office chair and began to work without distraction.

……

Far away in Sanya.

The clear blue sky is like an endless sapphire painting by a painter. The sky meets the sea, there are tall coconut trees on the streets, and people dressed in cool tropical styles can be seen everywhere.

In a clean room in a building.

Ke Bing held the phone in his hand and was still in a stalemate while talking on the phone.

Ke Bing couldn’t believe that Chen Yuan hung up the phone so easily and refused to continue communicating. She called him with great anticipation, but was caught off guard by such indifferent treatment. Her eager heart seemed to have descended into a cold wilderness.

This uncomfortable feeling made her fingertips pinch into her palms unconsciously.

Ke Bing pursed her lips, and the expression on her pretty face changed for a moment. Then she lowered her head, and her hair on both sides covered her face.

On the desk in her room, there was a gift box that had been wrapped but not sent out. It looked very exquisite on the surface, but the gift seemed ironic in this scene.

Ke Bing turned her back to the desk and smoothed her messy hair. At that moment, she had not yet recovered from her depressed mood.

“Sister~”

Suddenly, a shout was heard from the silent suite and the door was pushed open.

A little girl with pigtails and a rag doll stumbled in, blinking her innocent big eyes, holding up the doll in her hand, looking at her eagerly.

“Yeah, Mengmeng is here!”

Even though she felt bad inside, Ke Bing still put on a forced smile in front of her lovely sister. She lowered her head and said in her usual gentle and doting tone towards a child:
“What’s wrong? Let me take a look. This little skirt is torn again. It turns out that I didn’t sew it firmly enough last time. I’ll sew it for you again.”

“Okay~” the cute little girl answered in a baby voice and then handed the puppet over.

After a while.

The sound of hurried footsteps came.

“Mengmeng, why are you bothering your sister again? Didn’t I tell you to play in your room by yourself for a while? Come out now.”

“It’s okay, Mom. The skirt I sewed for her doll last time was torn. I can sew it again. It won’t take much effort.”

“Ah, a broken doll is always tossed around,” sighed Ke Bing’s mother, who was wearing an apron and slippers, “why not just buy another one?”

“You can’t say that. Mengmeng likes this… right, Mengmeng?”

“No, no, no.”

The younger sister hugged Ke Bing’s knees tightly, looked up at her, then looked at her mother, her eyes full of stubbornness.

“What a stubborn girl! Bring it here and I’ll sew it for you. Stop pestering your sister all the time.”

“It’ll only take two minutes. Let me do it.” Ke Bing insisted.

“Okay, I’ll make the soup and bring it to you later,” the mother came over and held Mengmeng’s hand, “I’ll get your doll for you later, and you go and clean up the toys you messed up, do you hear me?”

“…” The little girl pouted in dissatisfaction and was led out the door by the corner of her clothes.

After she left, it was a long time.

Ke Bing still had a warm smile on his face. He stayed by the bed, holding the doll with a hole in it but still clean in his hand. He felt much better.

There is really a kind of power in children.

Bright, lively, and so innocent, purer than the sky outside.

Ke Bing stood up by supporting herself on the bed. Her legs were a little sore from sitting for so long. She rummaged through the drawer for needle and thread and took out a palm-sized box.

It contains colored threads and fine needles.

Ke Bing is not the kind of pampered young lady. She grew up in a backward county town and has seen the growth of crops in the north in all four seasons. Of course, she has also been to the countryside during the busiest season of farming. Of course, these household chores are easy for her to handle.

It’s just that she has a pretty face. Girls change a lot when they grow up. Her face has become whiter. She also pays attention to her dressing and makeup and stays away from the dusty small county in the north.

When chatting with friends at school before, Ke Bing had told them more than once that he had caught caterpillars thicker than fingers in a field full of peanuts, but they didn’t believe it.

Perhaps it is difficult to associate such a beautiful girl with a disgusting, fat bug.

Childhood is long gone, but it is hidden deep in everyone’s heart.

Ke Bing quickly mastered the art of threading the needle, her movements appearing extremely skilled. It was noon, and the golden sunlight pouring in from the window shone on her jeans. She lowered her head and sewed the doll seriously. Even her eyelashes were covered in a layer of sunlight, curling up slightly and shyly.

A few minutes later.

“Mom, I want to go out and send a package this afternoon. I’ll send it to Qishui County No. 9 Middle School.”

She looked up and shouted thoughtfully.

I don’t know if I was talking to the outside world or to myself.

……

“Secretary Jiang, we are almost here today. It’s time to go back to the company. Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s not hard. I want to thank you for helping me get familiar with the work.”

“No way. It’s normal for colleagues to help each other. Let’s go to the underground parking lot now and wait for the chairman and others to talk about their opinions. Only then can this matter be finalized.”

In a building somewhere in Lan University.

Several smart and capable girls came down from the dusty floor that had never been renovated, talking as they walked.

This is the project inspection department of Bauhinia Company, and it is also the hardest working department in the entire company. They often have to go on various business trips. The better ones can stay in the local area all year round, and of course there are also quite a few who are busy traveling outside.

When Jiang Ning went downstairs, since the building had already opened for business, but the upper floors had not been renovated yet, they could smell the aroma of various foods when they arrived at the large shopping mall on the first floor.

The meals, snacks and desserts in shopping malls are often very attractive in taste, in order to attract more customers.

Girls are prone to being out of control. After completing their heavy tasks, they looked around and asked each other if they wanted to buy something to fill their stomachs on the way.

Jiang Ning’s eyes were only focused on the sugar-roasted chestnut shop in the corner of the mall.

Chen Yuan once said that he loved to eat this, and Ningning suddenly remembered it.

“Okay, buy some.”

“Okay, those who don’t want to buy anything should go to the underground parking lot and wait. We’ll meet up there. Try not to spend too much time there.”

The girls exchanged some words and then went their separate ways.

Jiang Ning went to the store alone and told the clerk that she wanted a small bag of freshly roasted chestnuts.

period.

While waiting, she kept replying to the green bubble messages sent by Jiang Yao, remotely instructing her to take out the food and soak and wash it in advance so that she could cook it as soon as possible after getting home from get off work to save trouble.

Jiang Yao sent over seven or eight worried emojis.

Across the screen.

She could guess that her sister must be in the kitchen worrying about a pile of food at this time.

A smirk that was rarely seen appeared on Ningning’s face.

She doesn’t feel sorry for her sister.

It would be better to let Yaoyao know how painful it is to cook every day. It is really not easy to manage a family. There is no harm in doing more work in daily life. The key is that it can help you lose weight.

the end.

Jiang Ning sent her sister a cute rabbit emoticon, encouraging her to keep going.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Ning took the sugar-roasted chestnuts, paid for them, and walked in her high heels through the spotless mall, heading for the underground parking lot.

……

The “separate actions” agreed upon by the two sisters were not really separate actions in Jiang Yao’s heart. If she could share her sister’s brain with her, Jiang Yao felt that she would not be so overwhelmed.

She wouldn’t mistake beef for mutton and not realize it until it was too late after an hour of thawing.

She would not confuse Chinese spinach with celery, thinking that they were the same vegetable but with different names. After sending the photo to her sister and she recognized it, she expressed that she could not accept it and was very shocked.

We clearly agreed in the living room last night to have the supermarket employees chop the pork trotter.

Jiang Yao repeated it a thousand times in her mind: Chop it! Chop it! Chop it…

Hey! It’s numb.

As a result, I forgot about it when I went to the supermarket today. I only remembered it when I got to the doorstep of my house, carrying vegetables of all sizes.

Mistakes! Countless mistakes.

Jiang Yao had originally anticipated that she would be able to complete all the assigned tasks easily, impress her sister who had always looked down on her, and give the young master a perfect birthday.

She made such a solemn promise last night.

In the end, I couldn’t describe how heartbroken I was.

Jiang Yao lay depressed on the sofa for a long time. After a while, she finally got up with her tenacious will.

She was not good at things in the kitchen, but that didn’t mean that today was a complete failure. She still had other tasks to complete.

As a “well-trained” and qualified fighter!

Corporal Yaoyao will blow up the enemy’s bunkers, destroy the enemy’s battle defenses, kill the enemy soldiers operating the tanks, and fight bloody battles!

To strive for a grand triumph for the empire… Oh no, that’s getting off topic.

What she had to do was to quickly arrange the birthday decorations, pick up Xiao Wan to help, and drive the ordered car back and hide it in the underground garage.

For her, this is also a battle without the smoke of gunpowder.

She couldn’t be discouraged, she could only get up quickly and move on to the next thing!
At one o’clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yao, who was in a good mood again, gave up the tedious work in the kitchen, changed her clothes and stepped out of the house again. This time she did not drive but took an online taxi to the local Porsche store in Lanjing.

The appointed time is approaching.

In fact, Jiang Yao was also very excited. The new Panamera luxury car she had seen on the website was very nice, but she had never driven it in real life. Of course, a brand new car that had never been driven once made people full of expectations.

But what she was looking forward to more was Chen Yuan’s surprised expression in the evening.

……

“Ningning, you’re back?”

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the bored Chen Yuan put down the pen in his hand and stood up from his chair.

If Jiang Yao saw the flattery and surprise on his face at this moment, she would probably slap him twice.

He had never been so eager to see Yaoyao before, just like a pug that couldn’t wait to lick its owner.

“came back.”

The “tapping” sound made by the slender high heels stepping on the spotless floor is captivating. Ningning, wearing a professional suit, is incredibly beautiful.

She smiled in response.

“How is it? It’s my first time to go on an inspection trip.”

“Very good. The colleagues who went with me all took good care of me. Seeing it with my own eyes is a completely different experience than familiarizing myself with the process in documents. I like project inspections, but it is obviously more tiring than sitting in the office,” Jiang Ning said, smoothing her hair and taking off her thick windbreaker, revealing her curvy figure. She handed over the thing in her hand, “I bought it for you.”

“Ningning, you are so nice. How do you know I want to eat this?”

“I bought it when I saw it.”

Chen Yuan opened the bag, grabbed a handful of chestnuts and squeezed them hard. After cracking them open, he walked very naturally to Jiang Ning, sat down, and fed them to her.

“what–“

“Yeah, very sweet.”

“Of course what you bought is sweet.”

“You are getting better at sweet talk now, don’t allow me to do that in the future,” Jiang Ning sorted out the notes she had just taken, lowered her head and pressed them on the table. While busying herself, she rolled her eyes at him in a charming way, “You have learned bad things from me.”

“No, these are all what I really want to say.”

Chen Yuan lay beside her and watched her work, chewing chestnuts in his mouth, and poked her delicate hand.

“Don’t make trouble.” Jiang Ning pursed her lips and whispered.

Ever since Jiang Ning came back, the temperature in the office has risen a lot. I don’t know if it’s because of the sweet love between the two or the ambiguous atmosphere is too strong.

Just from the little actions that the two of them did unintentionally.

If their colleagues saw this, no one would think that they were superiors and subordinates. They were clearly a couple in love who could not wait to kiss each other every second.
