Chapter 281 Request for Support
Seeing that Wang Yiming was still not making any move, Fu Ziling hurriedly urged him, "Try it quickly and see if it tastes good. If you like it, I can make it for you often in the future."
Wang Yiming's heart began to beat loudly. "No, that...what did Minister Chen say this time?"
Fu Ziling suddenly became a little shy, lowered her head and answered softly, "What does it have to do with him? I made this cup of milk tea just for you."
Wang Yiming obviously didn't expect to get such an answer, and was a little confused for a moment. "Did you make it just for me?"
"Yes!" Fu Ziling raised her head and looked directly into Wang Yiming's eyes bravely, her eyes full of sincerity and tenderness.
Wang Yiming was frightened by the "cannibalistic" look and refused decisively with lightning speed.
"Then you'd better take it back quickly. It's not the lack of wealth that's worrying, but the inequality of it, right? We have no relatives, and I'm not your direct superior. If others don't have it, but I do, this is definitely unacceptable, right?"
Fu Ziling firmly disagreed, "But I've already worked so hard to make it for you!"
Wang Yiming thought for a moment. He really didn't want to offend the security guard, Uncle Zhao, and Fu Ziling's biological father. He spoke again, "Comrade Ziling, please sit down first. I want to tell you something."
Hearing this, Fu Ziling nodded obediently, "Okay, then go ahead."
Wang Yiming cleared his throat and began to speak slowly, "In our purchasing department, you're not the first female colleague. Before you, there was a colleague named Cheng Yanzi. What I want to tell you today is about the past experiences of this comrade Cheng Yanzi..."
Immediately afterwards, Wang Yiming began to describe Cheng Yanzi's unfortunate story in a torrent of words and vivid descriptions.
After some hard talking, Wang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief and summarized his story, "Comrade Dou Zhihuan was transferred here just after she left, so you must be careful. Rumors are the most hurtful."
After hearing this, Fu Ziling looked at Wang Yiming with great gratitude and responded gently, "Deputy Minister, I understand that you have always been doing this for my own good and are worried that I might suffer any injustice. I know all this in my heart."
Wang Yiming always felt that she didn't seem to understand, but forget it, he would pay attention to it later.
"...I know, that's all. Okay, there's nothing else to do. Go out and do your work. You don't have to bring me anything anymore. Oh, and I have one more small favor to trouble you with. This is some tea I just got a couple of days ago. When you get off work, can you bring it to your grandfather so he can have a taste?"
Fu Ziling picked up the tea can and said, "Oh, then don't you have anything else to say?"
Wang Yiming spread his hands and said, "No more! Remember to close the door."
……
The door slammed shut with a loud bang, startling Wang Yiming. Even though he was handsome, one shouldn't let his appearance guide his values! How could Fu Ziling still be obsessed with a married man?
After this little episode, Wang Yiming continued to carve the wooden box in his office, concentrating on it. Before he knew it, the entire afternoon had passed. He was quite satisfied with his work, and it was a small achievement. So, he made a decision—he would skip work early today.
There were no special arrangements. He mainly wanted to say hello to Uncle Zhao first and thank his granddaughter for the delicious food she brought to the department. Then he would go to chat with his sister-in-law, commonly known as gossip + cricket meeting.
Liu Miaomiao sat at her workstation, watching the "weasel" come to her for the second time with empty hands. What? Did he want to take her away empty-handed this time?
After receiving the sincere invitation, Liu Miaomiao picked up the phone and dialed it. The person on the other end of the line was naturally the unlucky Qi Yuhao, who was stood up again.
"It's me. The movie is cancelled. You don't have to pick me up after get off work today. My brother-in-law is here. I'm going back to the Lu family tonight."
"Of course something happened. My sister is not here, and my brother-in-law and I are good friends."
"Why did you pick me up? I have my own room at Lu's house, and he has to send it to my workplace tomorrow morning. Don't worry about it, just go about your business." After saying that, Liu Miaomiao hung up the phone.
……
Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Wang Yiming knew this very well, so he cleverly used the dual strategies of food temptation and gossip seduction, and finally succeeded in bringing Liu Miaomiao back to the Lu family.
After dinner, the two began to play crickets in the living room. One asked a question and the other answered it quickly.
During the first half of their conversation, Liu Miaomiao couldn't help but feel sympathy and emotion for Ma Chunhua's experience. She was a girl who had swapped identities with another girl, and it took her more than a decade to return to her true home. The pain and suffering she endured could never be healed.
As the conversation progressed, Liu Miaomiao felt things were starting to get weird...
"You said there's a new person in your department recently?" Liu Miaomiao asked curiously.
"Yeah." Wang Yiming nodded in response.
"The newcomer is Ma Chunhua, the daughter of the director of the Foreign Trade Bureau who just got recognized!" Liu Miaomiao continued to ask.
"Yeah." Wang Yiming nodded again in response.
"Ma Chunhua changed her name to Fu Ziling?"
"Yeah." Wang Yiming nodded three times in response.
"Although she is not your secretary, she makes milk tea for you alone?" Liu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and stared at Wang Yiming.
"Yeah." Wang Yiming nodded heavily.
When the Queen is away, she is the Regent...
Liu Miaomiao slammed the table, bang! ... Her coolness lasted only three seconds. Her hand hurt, so she quickly pulled it back and shook it. This was her first time doing this. She wanted to imitate Lu Wanwan's move last time, but her sister hadn't told her that her hand hurt so much. Her muscles were all shaken.
Even if she lost the fight, she couldn't lose her momentum. Liu Miaomiao stood up and said loudly, "How dare you do this when my sister is not at home!"
Wang Yiming quickly gestured for her to sit down, "Sister-in-law, please keep your voice down and stop making such a fuss, okay? What's with the unexpected? Why are you going off track? I asked you to give me some advice, and you're questioning me?"
Liu Miaomiao glared at Wang Yiming, but slowly sat back in her chair. She crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Hmph, since you took the initiative to confess, I'll let you go. But don't be anxious, let me think about it."
Wang Yiming nodded with a sense of relief, supporting his chin with one hand, feeling aggrieved. "I'm not in a hurry. Take your time to think about it. If your sister accidentally misunderstands me after she comes back and wants to deal with me, you can still serve as a remote witness."
Liu Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him without saying anything. She looked at the new desserts on the table, picked one up and put it in her mouth. "...But, did you eat what she gave you?"
Wang Yiming pointed at the dessert on the table and said, "Look, the egg tart you are eating now follows the same production steps I asked her for. I was thinking of making it for your sister when she comes back."
After finishing one, Liu Miaomiao picked up another egg tart and took a bite. "Well, it's really delicious. If you have other flavors in the future, remember to let me know to come and try them. Otherwise, you can just send them to me."
Wang Yiming quickly agreed, "Of course, of course. As long as there's a new flavor, you'll be the first one to come to mind." He then urged, "Sister-in-law, don't just focus on eating. Find a solution!"
The dessert whetted her taste buds. Liu Miaomiao ignored Wang Yiming's "business" and casually continued to ask, "By the way, why didn't you drink that pot of milk tea?"
Wang Yiming rolled his eyes and replied helplessly, "Your sister is a little lactose intolerant, so why would I learn to make that?"
Liu Miaomiao didn't understand this unfamiliar word and asked, "Lactose what?"
Wang Yiming patiently explained, "It's lactose intolerance. It's the milk from cow's milk and the sugar from white sugar. Simply put, after drinking milk or other dairy products, you may experience diarrhea, bloating, and stomach pain. In short, your body will feel very uncomfortable. If you find milk in your food when you go out next time, remember to remind your sister not to eat it."
Liu Miaomiao nodded thoughtfully after listening, but soon became excited again, "That's okay, you can figure out how to make it later. My sister can't drink it, but I should be able to."
Wang Yiming was speechless for a moment, "...you should come up with a solution first."
Liu Miaomiao made five egg tarts in one go, but she still couldn't come up with a solution. "Well, I'll give you the solution tomorrow. I'm so sleepy from eating so much, I'm going to go wash up first."
Wang Yiming tried to stop him, "...Hey."
Liu Miaomiao waved as she went upstairs, "Good night, brother-in-law."
...Wang Yiming felt that these 5 egg tarts were a bit of a waste.
