Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

"Zheng Xuelin really has no shame, using people’s misunderstandings about his relationship with Xiao Yun to control her. Does he know how annoying he is?" Lin Lingli was no longer worried about Li Xiaoyun being framed.

No kidding, Zhao Dingli is here.

If Li Xiaoyun doesn’t want to leave the company, she can definitely remain standing firm in Ruishi.

With Zhao Dingli’s backing, if Li Xiaoyun wanted to be the general manager, she could probably convince the president to let President Lin step down and give her the position.

No need to worry about Zheng Xuelin.

Just now, when Li Xiaoyun made a phone call, Zhao Dingli heard some things.

But now hearing Li Xiaoyun say it, he couldn’t help but get angry.

Zhao Dingli sneered, saying, "Seems like my previous decision was correct, good thing I didn’t let Zheng Xuelin handle the business."

"With someone of questionable character like him, who uses any means to achieve his goals, who knows what he might do during the collaboration with Changlin." Zhao Dingli said coldly.

President Lin apologized and told Li Xiaoyun, "Xiao Yun, you must be shocked, go home and rest. If you still feel bad, take tomorrow off completely."

Judging from Zhao Dingli’s attitude towards Li Xiaoyun, President Lin knew that leaving the cooperation to Li Xiaoyun was absolutely a sure thing and wouldn’t go wrong.

Ensuring that the collaboration stays with their Ruishi was a given.

There’s no rush, then.

Letting Li Xiaoyun rest for a day is no problem.

President Lin decided he must keep Li Xiaoyun at the company.

With Li Xiaoyun here, future collaborations with Changlin would be worry-free.

Zhao Dingli nodded, said no more, and left with Li Xiaoyun.

As for the matter of Zheng Xuelin.

Zheng Xuelin is ultimately an employee of Ruishi, Zhao Dingli stepping in would be unwarranted.

One can’t meddle in another company’s management.

No matter how capable, one can’t act like that.

However, knowing his dealings with Li Xiaoyun, President Lin likely wouldn’t let Zheng Xuelin off easily.

Hence, Zhao Dingli didn’t intervene further.

Once Zhao Dingli left the business department with Li Xiaoyun...

The people in the business department were still in shock, unable to return to normal for a long time.

After quite a while, President Lin asked Manager Tang, "Does Li Xiaoyun know Zhao Dingli?"

Li Xiaoyun thought of her suspicion but couldn’t say it here.

No need to mention others, Zheng Xuelin is still here.

So, President Tang said, "I don’t know, Xiao Yun never mentioned it."

"This girl is really too low-key." President Tang chuckled dryly, "Haha."

Zhou Yunyun recalled something, "Oh right, Ling Li, just now someone called you, that’s how you found out about Xiao Yun being..."

Zhou Yunyun glared at Zheng Xuelin before continuing, "taken to the stairwell?"

"Yes." Lin Lingli paused, "Thinking back, I think the voice... quite resembled Zhao Dingli’s actually."

"Though voices over the phone can differ from in person, and the caller was extremely anxious, practically shouting," Lin Lingli said, "I still feel it sounded similar. But I didn’t dare ask."

That’s obvious.

Who would dare ask!

"Alright, work is about to start. Everyone, collect yourselves." President Lin said, "Manager Tang, come with me."

Now that they know Li Xiaoyun and Zhao Dingli don’t have an ordinary relationship...

President Lin had to discuss with Manager Tang how to position Li Xiaoyun within the company.

And how to handle Zheng Xuelin.

Zhao Dingli didn’t intervene, demanding they decide on some punishment for Zheng Xuelin.

That was Zhao Dingli giving face.

But they couldn’t just blindly muddle through.

Zhao Dingli was not someone who would be easily fooled!

"Everyone, get back to work." Manager Tang told the team, then left with President Lin.

Manager Tang felt a headache coming.

What a day, what is all this!

So much has happened today!

Zhao Dingli walked through Ruishi, causing quite a stir.

Soon, word spread throughout the company.

Thus, everyone kept their ears open, monitoring Zhao Dingli’s movements.

Since work hadn’t started yet, many lingered across floors and lobby, hoping to gather firsthand information.

They didn’t expect their efforts to pay off.

Those lingering on the business department floor saw Zhao Dingli holding Li Xiaoyun’s hand near the elevator.

They immediately broadcast the news to their coworkers.

But words could hardly convey their shock at what they saw.

Once Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun entered the elevator, colleagues waiting outside dared to send voice messages.

"Oh my god, I’m going crazy! I thought I was seeing things!"

"Zhao Dingli actually came for Li Xiaoyun in the business department!"

"Guess what I just saw?"

"Stop wasting time, just say it quickly!"

"I saw Zhao Dingli holding Li Xiaoyun’s hand."

"Whoa???"

"Quick, go to the first floor, you might still see them."

So, colleagues without work on hand made excuses to rush out.

And those early in the lobby happened to witness Zhao Dingli bring Li Xiaoyun out.

Because of this scene, everyone was stunned.

Yet their eyes couldn’t help but follow Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun’s direction.

Until the two exited the company.

Zhao Dingli’s car was still parked at the company’s entrance.

Earlier, he had rushed in, the car casually stopped there.

No one dared move it.

This made it convenient for colleagues inside, through the company’s glass doors, to see outside.

So, they watched as Zhao Dingli led Li Xiaoyun to the passenger-side door.

Chivalrously opened the car door for her.

Protected Li Xiaoyun’s head, helping her into the car.

Then Zhao Dingli circled back to the driver’s side.

Got into the car.

As soon as he sat down, not having fastened his seatbelt yet.

He saw Li Xiaoyun reaching for the seatbelt.

Zhao Dingli quickly took over, "I’ll do it."

Li Xiaoyun hesitated, released her grip, heard Zhao Dingli explain, "Your arm’s hurt, let me."

Then, with a "clack," Zhao Dingli fastened Li Xiaoyun’s seatbelt.

"It’s actually okay, not painful if untouched, arm movement is fine." It wasn’t as serious as Zhao Dingli thought.

Otherwise, her hand wouldn’t be manageable.

"When alone, there’s no choice but to manage yourself." Zhao Dingli said, fastening his own seatbelt.

Starting the car, departing, he added, "But since I’m here, I can help. There’s no need to watch you do it yourself."
