Cheng Xiaonuo, have you been acting poorly recently?
He Zikai then went upstairs.
In the office, Cheng Nuo was busy from morning to around three o'clock in the afternoon. He didn't eat or take a break at noon, so he just lay on the sofa and fell asleep.
He Zikai pushed open the door of the office, and when he saw the figure curled up on the sofa, He Zikai's heart ached.
Walking quickly to Cheng Nuo, He Zikai knelt down, put one hand on Cheng Nuo's body, and patted her a few times.
"Nuo'er... Nuo'er..." He Zikai called twice, not daring to speak too loudly for fear of scaring her.
"Yeah." Cheng Nuo heard a voice calling him and opened his eyes drowsily.
Seeing that it was He Zikai, Cheng Nuo smiled happily and murmured, "Ah Kai, you are here."
"Why are you sleeping here?" He Zikai asked with a frown. There was a small lounge with partitions in the office. It was much more comfortable for her to lie on the bed and rest here.
"No, I was a little sleepy just now. I was going to lie here and squint for a while, but unexpectedly... I fell asleep." Cheng Nuo said, rubbing his hazy eyes and sitting up.
Seeing her indifferent expression, He Zikai really couldn't do anything with this woman. Because he loved her too much, he couldn't get angry at her even if he was angry, let alone blame her. He could only regulate himself in his heart to eliminate his anger.
Sitting next to Cheng Nuo, he held her in his arms and combed her messy hair with one hand.
"Ah Kai, I'm so hungry." Cheng Nuo's sleepiness hadn't gone away at this moment. He rested his head on He Zikai's chest and said these words muffledly.
"..." Suddenly, He Zikai's face darkened and he asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you eat at noon?"
Hearing the change in He Zikai's tone, Cheng Nuo's mind suddenly sobered up. He stuck out his little head and looked at He Zikai's eyes. He didn't dare to speak, but just blinked at him with his big innocent eyes.
I really just said it without thinking too much, so... I hope he won't be angry, don't be angry.
"I asked An Lin to start recruiting professional managers tomorrow." He Zikai said directly, with a firm tone.
"No," Cheng Nuo immediately refused. He straightened up and said, "The lounge belongs to me. I can manage it very well. There is no need to hire a manager."
These days, I have learned a lot in the process of running and managing the leisure bar, and I have also asked He Zikai for a lot of advice. Although it is very tiring and hard, I feel very fulfilled, and now I am confident, and I have set a plan for the next five years.
Goals, you must work hard to achieve these goals, so the leisure bar is still managed by yourself.
"I'm so tired and I forgot to eat. How can I let you manage it?" He Zikai's face darkened, and he suddenly felt that it was because he was too soft-hearted and let her go all the time, which made her work so hard.
She is his favorite, how could he allow her to work so hard?
Cheng Nuo saw that He Zikai was even angrier than before, pouted and said nothing.
After a while, he felt that the man had no intention of compromising. Cheng Nuo thought about it, since he didn't want to compromise, he should compromise himself.
"Ah Kai," Cheng Nuo called out affectionately, put his hands on He Zikai's neck, snuggled into his arms, and said coquettishly, "Today is just an exception, because there were too many guests at noon, so I went downstairs to help.
, so when I came back after finishing my work, I... forgot to eat."
"There are not enough employees in the store. We can hire more people. Why are you going downstairs to join in the fun?" He Zikai still had a sullen face, but in his heart, because of this woman's coquettishness, he had gradually shaken his original idea.
"No matter how hard I recruit, I won't be able to come to work today. Besides, I don't go downstairs just to join in the fun. I go downstairs to help, but to work." Cheng Nuo was worried that he couldn't convince He Zikai, so he simply showed off his daughter's coquettish and cute act to see if he wanted to do more.
Will he continue to hold on to his ideas?
"Have you forgotten my previous rules?" He Zikai asked again. Among the series of rules set for her before, one of them was that she was not allowed to participate in store service work. There were regional managers on the first and second floors, so there was no need for her to go downstairs.
Work.
"I haven't forgotten," Cheng Nuo said, "but today is a special situation, so we have to deal with it specially."
After saying that, Cheng Nuo didn't care about anything else. He leaned forward and kissed the man on one cheek. Then he said coquettishly, "Ah Kai, you know, I like this leisure activity very much. I think
Managed personally.”
In the end, He Zikai ran out of tricks and was defeated by this woman. His previous persistence failed to last to the end.
"In the future, if something like today happens again, I will not let you go again." He Zikai said to the woman in his arms with a cold face.
"Well, it won't happen again, I promise." Cheng Nuo knew that He Zikai had agreed, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
It's not that He Zikai doesn't believe this woman's assurance, but if it happens again, he can't bring himself to blame this woman. In front of her, he almost always lets her do it, and never does anything by sticking to his principles.
"Also," He Zikai continued suddenly, "Bai Jing will come to the leisure bar to work with you starting tomorrow. She is your assistant."
I don't need Bai Jing to help Nuo'er with her work. I just want to accompany her, urge her to eat on time and take an hour's break at noon. All she needs to do is do these two things.
"..." Cheng Nuo blinked several times in surprise before asking He Zikai, "Although Bai Jing graduated from a university with a major in economics and management, and is also good at martial arts and taekwondo, but..."
Cheng Nuo really wanted to ask, but is it really good to have Bai Jing by her side? He Zikai would ask Bai Jing about her situation at any time.
"No but, it's decided." He Zikai interrupted Cheng Nuo and said directly.
Bai Jing was originally asked to go to Lishui Bay just to let her protect Nuo'er and Xiaomei. She is not a real nanny. Now she is arranged to be with Nuo'er. If Nuo'er gives her some work matters, I believe
Bai Jing can also do the job.
The all-round subordinates I have trained by myself have a few specialties and are not bad in other aspects.
Cheng Nuo knew that this decision could not be changed, so he could only mumble and sullenly hide in He Zikai's arms without saying a word.
"I called downstairs and asked them to send a simple meal. You eat something first. We will pick up Xiaomei later and go home for dinner." He Zikai said to the woman in his arms.
"Yeah." Cheng Nuo snorted.
…
After returning home in the evening, when the family of three was sitting in the restaurant having dinner, He Zikai told Bai Jing to start working at the lounge bar tomorrow, but her working hours would only be between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and she could go back at other times.
I came home to help Aunt Lan, as usual.
Bai Jing knew that this was her husband's arrangement, so she nodded in agreement without any doubts.
"Hey, Cheng Xiaonuo, have you been performing poorly recently? Dad actually assigned you an assistant?" He Xiaomei asked her mother next to her while lying on the table eating the food from the small bowl in front of her.
"No, I've always performed very well." Cheng Nuo answered his daughter, not forgetting to glance at the man opposite. (To be continued)
