"Mother!"
Seeing Si Yajing, Tutu jumped up from the sofa and threw herself into her arms. Si Yajing opened her arms, hugged her whole body, and put her forehead against hers. Feeling that the temperature seemed to have returned to normal, she said softly, "Does your head still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Dad took me to eat a lot of delicious food, and we also took planes, trains, and horses..."
Tutu wanted to tell Si Yajing everything he had played today. Wen Liang smiled and said, "Okay, come down quickly. Mom is tired all day, let her rest!"
"Yeah, mom, put me down quickly, I'll go get you some water."
Tutu fell to the ground and hurriedly put on Wen Liang's big slippers. Before she could take two steps away, she fell to her knees on the carpet. Wen Liang and Si Yajing were both startled. Before they could react, they saw her giggling, getting up and making a face at them, then kicking off her slippers, running barefoot to pour a glass of water, and staggeringly brought it over.
Si Yajing took the water cup, scratched Tutu's nose, and said, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a day. How come you've become a different person? Do you feel sorry for your mother now?"
Tutu stuck out his tongue, a little embarrassed, turned around and threw himself on Wen Liang, hugged him like a four-clawed fish, and said, "No way, I have always felt sorry for my mother..."
Wen Liang and Si Yajing looked at each other and smiled. With nothing else to do, the three of them sat side by side and watched TV. Si Yajing occasionally turned her head, and the light from the wall lamp on the roof quietly hit Wen Liang's cheek, making this man, who was firm but mysterious, more gentle and warm.
For the first time since her divorce, she felt at home again!
Time passed quietly. Tutu yawned and his eyelids were about to droop. Wen Liang smiled and asked, "Are you sleepy? Let's go to bed?"
Tutu nodded, crawled to Wenliang's ear, and said, "I want to sleep with Dad tonight!"
"What about mom?"
This is a very difficult decision. On one side is Dad, and on the other side is Mom. Tutu tilted his head and thought about it. Suddenly he found a solution and said happily: "Let Mom sleep with Dad too!"
Wen Liang glanced at Si Yajing, smiled meaningfully, kissed Tutu on the forehead, and said, "My daughter is sensible!"
Si Yajing rolled her eyes at him, but her ears turned a little red.
After Tutu was settled, Si Yajing came down from upstairs, and Wen Liang patted his thigh, motioning her to sit over. Si Yajing bit her lower lip, her shy expression making people eager to move, but she still sat obediently with her back to him, her raised buttocks pressed tightly against his, without the slightest gap, the pleasure of rubbing ears against each other came flooding in, almost instantly, making people unable to restrain themselves.
"Please forgive me. I will give you a quick report on the situation..."
Wen Liang extended his index finger and pressed it on her red lips, stroking them gently twice, then leaned over to kiss her graceful neck, whispering, "Be good, let's not talk about work today..."
As he spoke, his hand stroked her straight white legs, reached into the skirt that she had not had time to change, hooked the edge of a thin strap, then slightly lifted her hips and pulled the entire bra down to her thighs.
Si Yajing only felt her whole body getting hot, and the strong love turned into a gurgling stream. When she felt her body being penetrated by her lover's fiery force, she supported herself on the sofa with her hands and let out a tiny moan from the depths of her throat.
The moonlight in the courtyard was so deep that one could vaguely see the figures rising and falling in the living room, then moving over the fence and the east wall, slowly spreading silver light all over the ground.
The night is as cool as water!
The next morning, after sending Tutu to kindergarten, Wen Liang and Si Yajing drove to the Qinghe headquarters and listened to Li Shengli's report on the various aspects of the merger with Kuayouduo. This was not a simple matter, involving asset mergers, personnel placement, department expansion, and concept integration. How to turn Kuayouduo into a driving force for Qinghe's progress rather than a burden also tested the leadership art and strategic vision of the leader. However, Wen Liang did not interfere too much. Today, Li Shengli and his men are already capable of taking charge. He came this time just to get Kuayouduo's store in Huashan District.
"... Sister Si bought the storefront and then rented it to Bi Ya Si to open a store. The procedures and funds should all be handled through the company's account, so there won't be any loopholes for people to exploit... By the way, remember to have someone clear out everything in the store, and then help find a decoration company..."
Wen Liang rarely came to Qinghe, but he didn't say anything, just talked about a lot of trivial matters, which made Li Shengli feel a little hesitant. This was also what Wen Liang did on purpose. Only by letting go, Qinghe could fly higher.
Before leaving, Si Yajing pulled Wen Liang aside and hesitated to speak. Wen Liang asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Si Yajing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's like this. Huang Tiancheng came to me and said he wanted to go back to Qinghe to work..."
"Huang Tiancheng?" Wen Liang asked in confusion, "Why don't I have any impression of him? What does he do?"
"He used to be the manager of Qinghe Purchasing Department, but was later poached by Lu Xinyan..."
"Oh, so that's it. Another one has fallen. I guess Manager Huang has nowhere else to go, so he came back to beg you?"
Seeing Wen Liang's teasing gaze, Si Yajing lowered her head slightly and explained, "Huang Tiancheng is still very talented. I think he is sincerely repentant this time, so..."
"So you've softened your heart?" Wen Liang's tone was calm, but it revealed an irresistible pressure. He said, "Boss Si, as a leader, you must reward those who have done good deeds and punish those who have been punished. If someone who once betrayed Qinghe can come back openly, what will those loyal old employees think?"
Si Yajing was silent for a moment, then she raised her head bravely, looked into Wenliang's eyes, and said, "I think we should still give him a chance. At that time, Kuaiyouduo was very powerful and had a promising future. They also offered him twice the monthly salary. Most people cannot refuse such a temptation. It is understandable that people want to move up. The most important thing is that now Kuaiyouduo has been merged with Qinghe, and the two companies have become one. If we keep thinking about the past, it may cause some people to be uneasy... After all, Huang Tiancheng was not the only one who left Qinghe..."
It was the first time that Si Yajing went against Wen Liang's wishes in person. Although her face looked calm, her hands hanging by her legs tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, showing that she was extremely nervous. Wen Liang stared at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yajing, I'm very happy to see you so confident now!"
Si Yajing finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You, just don't be angry with me..."
Seeing that no one was around, Wen Liang reached out and pinched her cheek, smiling, "I love you so much that I won't be angry. I was just teasing you! Remember in the future, as long as you think it's right, you should express it without reservation like you did this time. I'm not a god, of course I will make mistakes sometimes. With you by my side to remind me all the time, I can avoid making bigger mistakes in the future."
Si Yajing's starry eyes were sparkling with tears. She naturally understood Wen Liang's painstaking efforts. With such a lover, what more could she ask for
"However, Huang Tiancheng can no longer hold a cadre position. Let him start from the grassroots level. If he does a good job, we won't treat him unfairly. As for the other store managers and mid-level leaders who were poached, those who are willing to come back will be handled in the same way. Qinghe can provide them with a platform, but whether they can achieve results depends on their own abilities."
This is the true meaning of "being tolerant and controlling", Si Yajing nodded and said: "Well, you have considered it carefully, so let's do it this way."
A week later, Wen Liang drove Ding Mei and Ding Lan to Huashan District. They parked the car on the side of the road and said, "Mom, Third Aunt, stay here. I'll take you shopping."
Ding Mei has been unhappy about Bi Yasi being kicked out of the Songlan Clothing City. She said, "What's there to see? I'm not buying anything..."
"You can come out and relax even if you don't have to buy anything. You've been staying at home all day lately. Be careful not to get sick."
Ding Lan thought Wen Liang was really trying to help Ding Mei relax, so she helped persuade her, "Yes, sister, since you're here, go downstairs and take a look around. It's a good opportunity to buy Jiaming a pair of sneakers. They're going to hold a winter sports meeting, and they've been asking me for them for several days."
"Look, my aunt has already said, hurry up, get off the car, get off the car!"
Wen Liang pulled the reluctant Ding Mei out of the car, walked two steps onto the sidewalk, pointed at the Kuaiyouduo store, frowned and said, "I remember this was a restaurant before, why is there no sign?"
Although Ding Lan had only been in Qingzhou for a short time, she was already familiar with most of Qingzhou. She looked up and said, "Hey, I remember this is a fast-food restaurant. It's right across the Qinghe store." She thought she had remembered it wrong, so she turned around and looked across the street. The Qinghe Soy Milk sign was still hanging high, and she could see the bustling diners inside through the glass.
"Yes, this is it. Why is it empty?"
The dirty deeds between Kuai Youduo and Qinghe were not spread widely because they were resolved promptly and swiftly. Ding Mei and Ding Lan rarely went out recently and knew nothing about it.
Ding Mei took a quick look and said with feeling: "Business is like this. It's booming today, but it could be cold tomorrow. You never know!"
Wen Liang quickly flattered him and said, "This statement is full of philosophical thinking and depth. I must take note of it and use it when I write my essay tomorrow!"
Ding Mei kicked him in anger, and pulled Ding Lan to the glass window of the store to take a look. Seeing that it was empty, she suddenly shouted, "Hey, do you think if we rent this place and open a store, will it make more money than selling woad?"
Ding Mei was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Yes, this is Huashan District, with the most people and the most prosperous. Bi Ya Si is positioned as a high-end store. There are many rich people here, so the business must be good!"
The more Ding Mei thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea. However, she became discouraged again and said, "But for such a large area, the rent would definitely be several times more expensive than woad. Add to that the renovation and labor costs, and the investment would be too much. The risk is too great. The key is that we don't have that much money..."
"That's true..."
The two of them sighed, looking like they were trying to quench their thirst with a plum in their eyes. However, when they gave up their fantasies and turned to leave, Wen Liang took out a key from his pocket, opened the door leisurely, and gestured for them to come in.
"Mom, do you remember I told you that I would let you open Bi Ya Si in the most prosperous area of Qingzhou?" (To be continued)
