Wu Aili felt as though her stomach were a bottomless pit, wanting to devour Wu Youzhi dry.
She felt she would conceive today.
In the end, seeing that Wu Youzhi was truly out of energy, she could only give up and fall into a deep sleep.
She had a dream that a baby was riding a carp and crashed into her embrace.
She quickly held on tight, afraid the baby would fall.
But she saw the carp wriggle and try to swim away, causing her to lunge forward and also hold it tight.
Unbeknownst to her, a not-yet-developed baby beside her quietly crawled into her embrace as well.
"Hey brother, what's the rush?"
Pi Xiaoqian broke free from Guo Xuyang's pull and asked.
"What's up? Do you want to watch a live broadcast?" Guo Xuyang teased.
"What do you mean, brother?"
"Didn't you see your sister-in-law was already overcome with desire?"
"Huh? You don't mean they two..."
"Otherwise, why would they say you're so slow? No wonder Li Minxi bullies you all day."
"You didn't explain it clearly to me either."
"You're truly beyond saving.
How could I explain it to you with the couple right there?
Should I have said they were going to do it, and you should leave quickly?
President Wu understood, why don't you?"
"Do you think coming back for the wedding banquet can really make it happen?"
"I'm not a celestial being, how would I know?
Man proposes, heaven disposes. Whether it happens depends on President Wu's ability."
"Then can you help me see when I can get married?"
"You can get married this year, but..."
Guo Xuyang pretended to examine Pi Xiaoqian, deliberately creating suspense.
"But what? Brother, are you trying to kill me with anticipation?"
"Don't you have any gesture to make?"
"Brother, what do you want? Anything I can afford, I'll give you."
"Alright. Treat me to a drink then. I still didn't get enough at President Wu's place."
"That's easy to say. Where do you want to go?"
Guo Xuyang had an idea and said, "Drive me to the Mala Tang hot pot restaurant next to the 4S shop."
"Please get in. We'll head there now." Pi Xiaoqian said, starting the car.
Inside the Mala Tang hot pot restaurant next to the 4S shop, Lin Ziqi and her sister Lin Zixuan were choosing ingredients.
"That's enough, Ziqi. We can't eat that much," Lin Zixuan said.
"These won't fill us up, they'll disappear once heated.
Otherwise, we'll have to come back for more, which is a hassle.
Sister, do you want meat balls?"
"I don't. I'll just have some vegetables tonight. If I eat more, no one will want me anymore."
"You're not fat. It's fine to eat a little less."
Lin Ziqi said, and took another ten skewers of beef balls.
"That's too much, we won't be able to finish it."
"We will. I didn't eat much at noon, so I'm a bit hungry."
Before the two could finish choosing, they saw Guo Xuyang and a胖子 (fat guy) walk in.
Guo Xuyang looked around and saw Lin Ziqi selecting ingredients, then walked over.
"What a coincidence? Haven't eaten yet?" Guo Xuyang said.
"It's a coincidence indeed, Mr. Guo. We were just saying we hadn't seen you today?" Lin Zixuan said.
"Hello, Miss Lin. I wanted to visit you that day, but Ziqi said you were resting, so I didn't come.
I've been quite busy these past two days and couldn't find the time.
I was just about to come get something to eat, and I didn't expect to run into you here."
Pi Xiaoqian's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected to see such a beautiful girl.
Lin Zixuan was wearing a pink high-necked sweater today, with a white open alpaca coat over it.
A pair of straight trousers made her legs look even longer, and brown high-heeled shoes made her height almost match his.
"Fatty, what are you doing? Aren't you going to eat? Aren't you afraid people will laugh?"
Guo Xuyang patted him and said.
"Ah? Eat, eat, eat. What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Pi Xiaoqian snapped back to attention.
"Take four skewers of each item. We can get more if it's not enough.
Ask the boss if he has lamb and beef. Two catties of each."
"Alright. Boss, do you have beef and lamb?
Yes, give us two catties of each.
Yes, just string them and send them over."
The fatty shouted.
"Where is your table?" Guo Xuyang asked Lin Ziqi.
"Follow me." Lin Ziqi said, turning to walk towards the dining table.
This left Pi Xiaoqian alone, picking out skewers.
"Has Miss Lin started her job?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"I met with President Guo at the store yesterday. Today is my first day of formal work," Lin Zixuan replied.
"Are you getting used to it? How does it feel?"
"It's okay, but the turnover is too high, and the capital flow is too large."
"This business is relatively good, much better than the other stores. How was your salary set?"
"Ten thousand a month, plus a year-end bonus."
"That's a bit low for you. Without sales commission, it's probably the least in the store."
"That's already very good, as the work is relatively easy."
"For a high-achiever like you, this work is nothing. You can handle it with ease. What was your previous company's salary?"
"My salary before I resigned was twenty-two thousand, but the workload there was heavier."
Lin Zixuan stated truthfully.
"In that case, Ziqi, tell Brother Hui tomorrow to raise Miss Lin's salary to thirty thousand.
The year-end bonus will be the same as yours." Guo Xuyang said after some thought.
"Okay, Yangzi. My sister thanks you on her behalf." Lin Ziqi said.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo. I don't know what to say."
Lin Zixuan hadn't expected a meal to bring such a great surprise.
"Don't be so polite. You can also call me Yangzi like Ziqi later, okay?
All my friends call me that. Mr. Guo makes me feel like a stranger."
"Okay, Yangzi. I'll treat tonight."
"No need to be so formal. Fatty is treating tonight, so don't fight him. You can treat me another day."
As the three were talking, Pi Xiaoqian brought over all the selected skewers on a tray.
"Let's chat while we eat." Guo Xuyang handed the skewers to Lin Zixuan.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Lin Zixuan was very happy.
"You're welcome. Fatty, where's the wine?" Guo Xuyang asked as he saw Pi Xiaoqian about to sit down.
"Look at me, I forgot, I forgot. I'll go get it."
"Don't go out. See if the boss has any wine?"
"Yes. I saw it just now. Do you want Erguotou or something else?"
"Erguotou, the white one. What about you two sisters?
Have some wine, to celebrate Miss Lin's successful start."
Guo Xuyang said to Lin Zixuan.
"Alright, then let's have some beer." Lin Zixuan said, looking at Lin Ziqi.
"Fatty, bring another dozen beers." Guo Xuyang called out to Pi Xiaoqian.
"Okay." Pi Xiaoqian turned and left.
"Yangzi, you don't need to be so formal. Call me Zixuan from now on," Lin Zixuan said to Guo Xuyang.
"Okay, Zixuan. If you need anything in the future, you can tell Ziqi or call me directly. I remember you have my number?"
"Okay, Yangzi. I have your phone number in my phone. I can't believe you've become a big boss in just over three months."
