After Lin Huayin finished dinner and read the news, she planned to go upstairs to work, but her eyes inadvertently fell on the door that she never got close to on weekdays, Xiao Zheng's door.
The conversation with Lin Xiaozhu made her thoughts surge, and Xiao Zheng's shadow inevitably broke into her heart. Some strange feelings made her unable to guard against it.
Lin Huayin was silent for a moment at the entrance of the stairs, and finally changed direction and walked towards Xiao Zheng's door. Raising his hand, he knocked on the door.
She has always been a bold woman in doing things. Whether she was in school or at work, Lin Huayin was a woman who did whatever she thought of and had strong execution ability. Tonight, she suddenly wanted to chat with Xiao Zheng. She didn't know whether it was because she was forcibly kissed by Xiao Zheng in the afternoon, which caused her inner imbalance, or whether it was Lin Xiaozhu's remarks that made her more deeply impressed by Xiao Zheng.
The door was quickly opened, and Xiao, wearing a vest and pants, was standing at the door, holding a cigarette and smelling of alcohol. When he found that the person knocking on the door was Lin Huayin, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seemed that she couldn't understand that it was her who knocked on the door. Even if she was the only one in the house who could knock on the door, she was the only one.
"It's so late and you haven't slept yet?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile on his face.
Lin Huayin has a very regular schedule. She usually goes to bed between twelve and one o'clock at night and gets up before seven o'clock in the morning. This is a habit that even Lin Xiaozhu knows, and it is impossible for Xiao Zheng not to know it. When he asked this, it only proved that he had nothing to say. Based on Lin Huayin's understanding of Xiao Zheng, he was a very talkative person. Whenever he got the opportunity, he would frantically use the topic and make eloquent remarks. Rather than avoiding the important and taking the easy as now.
Based on the above analysis, Lin Huayin came to the conclusion that Xiao Zheng had something on his mind and did not want to mention it to anyone.
Is this why he's in a bad mood tonight
"I'm not sleepy." Lin Huayin said calmly. "I'm going to make a midnight snack, do you want to eat?"
Xiao Zheng's face changed slightly and he said in shock: "Didn't you just have dinner?"
"I'm not full." Lin Huayin said straightforwardly.
Xiao Zheng nodded in understanding.
Eat fruit for dinner every night, it’s amazing if you can eat enough.
"What's for midnight snack?" Xiao Zheng said firmly. "I don't eat fried steak. I don't feel full at all."
"Hot pot." Lin Huayin said.
"Awesome! I haven't had hot pot in a long time!"
Xiao Zheng drank all his dinner and didn't even take a few bites of the food. Even though it was only ten o'clock late, his stomach was still hungry. Even after drinking a few bottles of beer, I couldn't suppress the glutton in my stomach. I couldn't help but said enthusiastically: "I bought high-quality beef and mutton, and a lot of dishes."
"I'll prepare the bottom of the pot." Lin Huayin said.
"I'll cut the meat and wash the vegetables!" Xiao Zheng said energetically.
"Um."
The two of them entered the kitchen together, one washing vegetables and cutting meat, and the other preparing the pot. As usual when eating, Lin Huayin is very particular about the ingredients. Even for complex processes like hot pot base, she will not use the instant soup stock bought in the supermarket, but prepare it herself.
Xiao Zheng loves spicy food, while Lin Huayin usually has a light diet, but is not afraid of spicy food. So after Xiao Zheng finished the preparations, she also prepared a pot of spicy pot base, which was fragrant.
"It smells so good!" Xiao Zheng gave a thumbs up and praised. "I didn't expect you not only cook steak well, but you also cook hotpot so well."
Lin Huayin said calmly: "When I was studying abroad, I couldn't find a Chinese restaurant near the school, and I wasn't used to pure Western food at first, so I would cook by myself."
Xiao Zheng nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing with what Lin Huayin said. He also wandered overseas for several years. When he first went there, he couldn't adapt to the climate, let alone eating. I don't have enough to eat or sleep well every day, which is the fault of my boss.
The two put the hot pot and dishes on the table. Xiao Zheng took a few bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator and said with a smile: "It would be too boring to eat hot pot without drinking beer."
After that, he opened a bottle for Lin Huayin, raised his glass and said, "Here, let's take one."
Lin Huayin did not refuse Xiao Zheng's kindness. He took a sip of cold beer and put a few green vegetables into the hot hot pot. He looked familiar with it, and it was obvious that he once loved hot pot.
Xiao Zhengze poured half a plate of mutton into it, and while stirring it with chopsticks, he sighed: "Eating hot pot and drinking beer with the air conditioner blowing on, even a god wouldn't do it for me."
After saying that, he picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in the freshly prepared sauce, and put it into his mouth while it was hot, with a satisfied look on his face: "It's great!"
When Lin Huayin saw Xiao Zheng's expression that he was willing to die immediately after eating the hot pot, he was also moved and picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it into his mouth.
The long-lost spiciness poured from the throat into the stomach. Suddenly, I felt hot all over and my appetite was whetted.
"You can't eat hot pot without just eating vegetables!" Xiao Zheng encouraged Lin Huayin enthusiastically as he added a few slices of mutton. "Dip more sauce and pop it into your mouth while it's hot. It will keep you feeling comfortable and forget all your worries."
Lin Huayin did not refuse, and ate a few slices of mutton as Xiao Zheng wanted. She narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and said, "It's delicious."
"Haha. Come, have a drink!" Xiao Zheng picked up the beer cheerfully and drank half the bottle in one breath.
Lin Huayin drank a few more sips of beer with Xiao Zheng, then put down the bowls and chopsticks, looked at Xiao Zheng subtly, and said, "Have you gone to see Xiaozhu today?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Zheng's expression became strange. But the woman sitting across from her was Lin Xiaozhu's biological sister. He had no reason to hide it and nodded: "Well, let's have dinner with her."
"Inquiring about me?" Lin Huayin asked.
Xiao Zheng was amazed at Lin Huayin's intelligence and his lack of quibbles. He nodded and said, "Yes."
"Do you know everything?" Lin Huayin continued to ask. There was no emotion in the pair of unfathomable beautiful eyes, which made Xiao Zheng feel slightly hairy.
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng said avoiding his eyes. "Basically everything is known."
"What she told you was about my stay in Yanjing." Lin Huayin said in a calm tone. "After graduating from high school, I went to the United States, spent two years completing my undergraduate studies, and then studied for a master's degree in business administration. Four years later, I obtained both my undergraduate degree and my master's degree, and had one year of financial experience on Wall Street. After that, I worked in a financial institution for a year. Because I caught up with the good time, I made 50 million in one year. Then I returned to China and came to Mingzhu to found ENN. I was twenty-three years old when I returned."
This is what Xiao Zheng doesn't know about Lin Huayin's experience after high school. It sounds simple, but how can others understand the bitterness involved
"Fifty million?" Xiao Zheng asked in shock as his landing point was always different from ordinary people. "What unit?"
Lin Huayin, who was accustomed to Xiao Zheng's style, was not surprised and simply replied: "US dollars."
"You are so awesome!" Xiao Zheng said.
Her appearance and temperament are impeccable, and her IQ and brains are higher than ordinary people. She was a top student in school and an earner after leaving school. Now, at just twenty-seven years old, she has become the youngest female CEO of Mingzhu. In the near future, She will also become the youngest chairman of a listed company in Mingzhu.
With such an amazing report card, many people may not be able to achieve it in their lifetime. But it only took her twenty-seven years to complete it all.
No one believed her if she was not God's favorite.
"I just work harder than others." Faced with Xiao Zheng's unabashed praise, Lin Huayin said calmly. "If you do something repeatedly, you are an expert. If you do something carefully, you are a winner. This is my motto. It also applies to anyone."
Xiao Zheng nodded in agreement.
"In what field have you become an expert, or in other words, a winner, after so many years abroad?" Lin Huayin suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Zheng steadily.
She told Xiao Zheng everything about her without any reservation.
Now, she wants to know everything about Xiao Zheng.
