Ming Li went upstairs to the study and started a video conference.
Several executives sat at the other end of the computers, reporting their work to Ming Li.
Ming Li looked at a document in her hand and frowned. This plan wouldn't work. It should be changed like this...
Half an hour later, the villa's doorbell rang.
A'Zai, who was reading on the living room sofa, put down the book, walked over to open the door, and saw a delivery person in a yellow uniform.
After taking the takeout from the delivery person and placing it on the dining table, A'Zai ran upstairs and knocked on the study door.
Knock, knock, knock!
Hearing the knock, Ming Li paused in her speech. She then said to the executives on the video, "That's all for today. I'll personally go to the company tomorrow." After speaking, Ming Li ended the video.
Closing the laptop, Ming Li stood up and opened the study door.
As soon as the door opened, Ming Li heard A'Zai say at the door, "Sister Li, the takeout is here."
Ming Li nodded and said to A'Zai, "Let's go."
A'Zai nodded obediently and followed Ming Li downstairs.
They arrived at the dining table, sat opposite each other, and opened the takeout to eat.
Halfway through the meal, the doorbell rang again.
A'Zai stopped eating, looked up at Ming Li, then put down his chopsticks, stood up, and went to open the door.
As soon as she opened the villa door, A'Zai saw Wen Yan, whose face was pale.
A'Zai: ...
Wen Yan smiled at the stunned A'Zai and then walked into the villa with unsteady steps.
Wen Yan's gaze scanned the villa and soon spotted Ming Li, who was elegantly eating takeout at the dining table.
Wen Yan's smile became even brighter, but when his gaze fell on the takeout in front of Ming Li, Wen Yan's handsome brows furrowed. He walked towards Ming Li and said disapprovingly, "Sister, takeout is so unhealthy. How can you eat takeout?"
Ming Li looked at Wen Yan, put down her chopsticks, and looked indifferently at Wen Yan, whose face was as pale as a ghost. Then, Ming Li's mouth twitched violently.
*Young man, if I don't eat takeout, do you want me to eat your terrible cooking?*
Meeting Wen Yan's disapproving gaze, Ming Li said indifferently, "You've ruined the kitchen. Do you want me to starve if I don't eat takeout?"
Wen Yan: ...Your words have left me speechless...
A'Zai, who had just closed the door and returned: ...Suddenly I feel like Sister Li's style has changed, what's going on?!
Ming Li stood up, ignored Wen Yan, and pulled out a thick workbook from somewhere. She looked at A'Zai and said, "I've just hired a tutor for you. If you don't understand anything in this workbook, ask him. Also, you need to finish it within a week."
A'Zai looked at the workbook in Ming Li's hand, which was as thick as the Xinhua Dictionary, and unconsciously swallowed.
A'Zai: ...Sister Li, are you serious!! Believe it or not, I'll perform a sudden death for you!!
Wen Yan, standing beside them, looked at A'Zai and felt a sense of shared misfortune.
The system in the space: ...Suddenly discovered its host's hidden attribute: laziness.
A'Zai's trembling hand took the workbook from Ming Li. His calm expression almost broke. Thank... thank you, Sister Li...
