Pei Jun almost had a heart attack from his daughter's unrealistic idea. A proper young lady becoming a tea - serving secretary for someone? How could she come up with such a thing!
However, his daughter's words gave him an idea. There was no corner that couldn't be turned in this world. Instead of letting some random women out there take the position of the third wife of the Yan family, it would be better for the Pei family to hold it firmly in their hands. It was thanks to the Yan family that they were able to snatch the Bay Project from the Zhao family. If they could always rely on the Yan family, why should they worry about the Zhao and Jiang families?
Looking up, Pei Jun asked,
"Last time I told you to throw away those random perfumes. Did you do it?"
Pei Weiwei felt a bit embarrassed and lowered her head, answering, "Yes, I threw them all away as you said, Dad." In fact, she didn't throw them all. She really liked the scent of a perfume from brand D. It was impossible for her not to use perfume. Well, she would just not wear any perfume when she went to see Lord Yan in the future.
"Yan Yincheng never has a female secretary around him. It's always just Wei Shu who is in charge of all his work and daily life. It's impossible for you to be his secretary, and I can't arrange for you to get involved in the Bay Reconstruction Project either. How about this? I'll get you into the design department of the company and make you the design director. There's a design competition for the Bay Project starting recently. You can try to participate. If you can win a prize in the competition, maybe Lord Yan will think more highly of you. And being in the same company, you'll have more opportunities to meet."
Pei Weiwei's eyes lit up. She rushed over and hugged Pei Jun, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I knew you were the best, Dad! Thank you, Dad!"
Pei Jun said, "Alright, alright. You're such an adult, yet still acting like a little kid. Aren't you ashamed?"
The fluorescent algae and golden amber brought endless inspiration to Xu Zixi. She was completely immersed in her thoughts that night. Thanks to the fact that they were living by the sea, it provided a great reference for her. Her fingers flew over the keyboard. The light from the computer screen shone on her extremely focused face. She didn't even notice when the two kids knocked on the door.
Standing in front of the door, Yan Yincheng heard the "clack - clack - clack" sound of the keyboard coming from inside. He put his finger in front of his lips and said to the two kids,
"Mummy is busy with work. Don't disturb her."
Yuan Xiaoxu pouted and complained unhappily, "Work is a bad guy. It's snatching mummy from Xuxu! Xuxu hates work!"
Yuan Xiaoxuan lowered his head, holding a small booklet in his arms. The disappointment in his voice was obvious. "But Teacher Chen said that Xuanxuan and Xuxu have to finish our homework today. Teacher Chen will check it tomorrow."
Yan Yincheng's heart skipped a beat. "Homework? What kind of homework?"
Yuan Xiaoxuan said, "Teacher Chen said that Xuanxuan and Xuxu have to draw a picture. Mummy and us should be in the picture."
Yan Yincheng understood. "So, Teacher Chen wants you to draw a picture of the family?"
Yuan Xiaoxuan glanced at him and nodded. "Yes!"
Yan Yincheng felt a strange excitement. "Xuanxuan, uncle is already mummy's fiancé now. Uncle will marry your mummy in the future. Then uncle will be your daddy. Maybe I can help you finish this homework with you?"
Yuan Xiaoxu blinked his eyes and said, "But Uncle Yin, you can't see. How can you draw?"
Children's words are always innocent. He straightforwardly pointed out Yan Yincheng's disability. He was stunned for a while, then he raised his hand and gently stroked Yuan Xiaoxu's hair, saying softly, "Uncle can't see. Can you teach uncle?"
Yan Yincheng was led by the two kids to sit down beside the coffee table in the living room. The two soft little bodies leaned tightly against him on both sides. This made Yan Yincheng, who rarely spent time with the two kids, feel a bit nervous. His fingers even became a bit cold. Yuan Xiaoxuan spread the white paper on the coffee table, then put the paintbrush into his palm and said,
"Uncle Yin, we're going to start drawing now!"
Yan Yincheng straightened his body and said, "Come on, I'm ready."
"Let's draw mummy first!" Yuan Xiaoxuan said. He held Yan Yincheng's hand and started to draw on the paper. For a moment, the only sound in the air was the rustling sound of the paintbrush rubbing against the paper. Yan Yincheng's originally a bit chaotic mind became strangely calm. Following Yuan Xiaoxuan's strokes, he pictured Xu Zixi's appearance in his heart.
A circle represented the head, then several long lines represented the limbs, and then long hair, eyes, and a mouth...
Xu Zixi typed the last word on the keyboard, then leaned back on the chair and let out a long breath. Finally, she had made the prototype of the plan. She had completely overthrown and redone the plan she had made for the interview before. This new one was brand - new, even unique in the whole Country C. Next, all she needed to do was to gradually improve the plan and make a 3D model of the whole project before the registration deadline. Then there would basically be no problem.
After being highly concentrated for several hours, now that she suddenly relaxed, Xu Zixi felt the drowsiness creeping up. She yawned and looked at the clock. To her surprise, it was already three o'clock in the morning. She was startled and quickly got up, opened the door and walked out.
She had been busy since dinner and had completely forgotten about the two kids. She wondered how the two kids were doing now.
Xu Zixi came to the two kids' room and pushed the door open. It was empty inside. She quickly pushed open the door of her own room. The two kids weren't there either. Xu Zixi stood by the door, frowning in confusion. She remembered that when she went back to the study, she had told that man to take care of the kids for her. Maybe... they were with him?
Xu Zixi hesitated for a while, then finally walked towards the biggest bedroom in the villa. Standing outside the door, she raised her hand and gently knocked on the door. Then she held her breath and listened for the movement inside. Her palms were sweating nervously. She couldn't help but think of the scene she saw when she woke up in the bed that day...
No, no, no. Xu Zixi, stop thinking about it! It was just an accident!
Shaking off the inappropriate pictures in her mind, Xu Zixi tried to turn the doorknob and found that the door was actually pushed open. She walked in gently. There was a dim yellow wall lamp on in the room, which allowed her to see the situation inside. On the two - meter - wide big bed, there were three figures lying quietly. The two kids were curled up tightly beside that man, and the man had his arms outstretched to protect them in his embrace. It was a posture of mutual trust and reliance.
Feeling something under her feet, Xu Zixi lowered her head and picked up a piece of drawing paper from the ground. When she saw the content on it, she almost burst out laughing. There were four oddly - shaped blobs on it. One could barely tell that they were people. There was also a house that looked like it was about to collapse beside the four blobs. It was even more abstract than abstract art.
Looking up at the three figures on the bed, Xu Zixi didn't notice that her eyes had become very gentle.
She had asked him to take care of the two kids, and he had done it. He had even accompanied the two kids to draw. It was really hard for a blind man. Although this man's eyesight was not good and his temper was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he was a bit hard to serve, in terms of character, he was impeccable. At least he didn't lose his fighting spirit for life just because of his physical disability. Every time she saw him, she could always feel an indescribable confidence from him.
Most importantly, he was from Jincheng, had nothing to do with Fengcheng, and had a certain amount of wealth. Couldn't he be considered a good partner?
Maybe, she could consider being a bit nicer to him?
