Chapter 155 Frustration
The two walked one after the other without saying a word on the way. Butler Li was waiting at the door, leading them to the elevator.
An Yi calmly observed the expression of housekeeper Li. He had accompanied them until very late yesterday, and woke her up early this morning. He was still energetic and smiling in the middle of the night. Is he invincible? Even if he was on duty 24 hours a day like Xiao Yang, how could he be everywhere all the time? No need to sleep? And did he not take off his makeup, uniform and high heels for 24 hours?
Then she thought about it again and couldn't help but laugh. He must have made a very satisfactory amount of money. She was just worrying about nothing. Nothing in this world happens without reason? For no reason...Why did the boss do that? Last night she tried to ask for several reasons but they all denied it. Was there another reason or was he unwilling to admit it?
Before she could think about it, Butler Li was respectfully inviting her to enter the elevator with standard etiquette gestures. As a subordinate, An Yi habitually stood behind Ding Hong. Seeing the two of them standing firmly, Butler Li was about to bow and say goodbye, when he heard Ding Hong say, "Follow us for another trip. I have something for you to do."
Of course, Butler Li obeyed. An Yi looked at the boss in front of him curiously, resisting the urge to roll his eyes: What can't be arranged during the day? Workers are not robots.
By the way, I saw that the boss was wearing a navy blue short-sleeved POLO shirt, a pair of dark brown suit shorts, and a pair of canvas loafers of the same color. His hair was much fluffier than usual because he didn't use hairspray. This outfit confused An Yi for a moment.
Just looking at her hair, it's obvious that she's just bathed, but this outfit... doesn't look like something she would wear before going to bed. Could she be on another conference call? It seems too casual. After all, when doing the Unity Mountain Climbing, the boss always wrapped herself up tightly, and behaved like an ancient lady in front of the employees. If she had already fallen asleep, how could she dress so appropriately in such a short time after receiving the report from Butler Li? Unless the clothes, shoes and hats were all laid out in sets.
After all, she is a woman, and although An Yi doesn't care much about her clothes, she still can't help but comment on Ding Hong's clothing style, trying to infer in what state Ding Hong was called to the garden.
It’s better to sleep soundly, I’m annoying you to death! An Yi thought viciously.
Facing two people with dignified appearance and manners, An Yi lowered his head and glanced at his own outfit, which indeed achieved the effect of being sloppy. This is what is meant by "no comparison, no harm".
"Disconnect the network transmission function of the smart bed, but keep the recording function. Every day..." Ding Hong thought for a moment before saying, "Every evening, after lunch, you go and copy down the day's data and report it to them."
Ding Hong did not elaborate on who they were, but Butler Li nodded, clearly knowing them. An Yi looked at no one, silently admiring the several decorative paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor.
"Go ahead." Although Ding Hong was speaking to Butler Li, he was actually speaking to An Yi: "It's already very late. Get some good sleep. We still need to draw blood tomorrow morning."
An Yi finally turned his gaze back, without looking at Ding Hong, and smiled at Butler Li: "Thank you for your help." After saying that, he took the lead and walked away.
Butler Li smiled and said good night to Ding Hong, then hurriedly chased after him.
Until the two figures completely disappeared, Ding Hong smiled bitterly, returned to the bedroom and went straight into the bathroom, took off all his clothes and threw them into the laundry basket, and took his second shower tonight. Even though it was late in the summer and early autumn, the weather was still a bit hot for him, not to mention that he had to deal with the woman who was mobilizing all the cells in her body to resist, and he had to coax and persuade her, and be firm in his will to avoid being softened by her complaints and crying and slipping away.
He pinched his brows, fortunately he had just laid down and was not asleep, otherwise he might not have heard the text message from Butler Li in time. Although he knew that An Yi's appearance at that time did not look like she was running away, he had to bring her back personally to feel at ease.
When he first revealed his plans to Uncle Han, he was extremely confident. He was a little uncertain, but also 80% sure. Today was Monday... no, it was already early Tuesday morning, and there were still several days until Friday. He actually felt a little anxious.
I lay back on the soft big bed, closed my eyes tiredly and didn't want to think anymore. The important thing was to get enough rest.
early morning.
"Ask her if I can watch." Ding Hong sat upright on the sofa in the corridor. Butler Li hurried in to ask after hearing his instructions. In less than a moment, he ran out and shook his head regretfully: "Miss An said it will be ready soon, don't worry." In fact, the last sentence "don't worry" was added by her out of kindness. Miss An only said two words: "No."
Ding Hong continued to ask helplessly: "Are you already drawing blood? Is it going well?"
"It went smoothly. Don't worry. The one who came this time is the best blood-drawing nurse in their hospital. Her nickname is 'Second Needle', which means she can successfully insert the needle in one second."
Ding Hong nodded. He had heard the introduction before, but listening to it again did not sound long-winded. Instead, he felt more at ease.
Butler Li cleverly went in to observe the situation and came out to report. In addition to blood sampling, two other tests that required fasting were also done. After going back and forth several times, he arranged for the meal to be served and later accompanied several medical staff in the elevator to leave.
After a while, An Yi came out of the house and was surprised again, just like last night: "When was it completed? Why didn't I hear any movement?"
Now there is a wall between the corridor and the elevator, which completely separates this temporary living room and dining room from the elevator, turning it into a private space.
"It's made of plasterboard, not a solid wall. It's just a small project."
Small project?! An Yi disagreed. This is not just a wall. Doesn’t it take time to assemble the doors and wallpaper on the wall?
Well, the boss said it was a small project, so it was. I made a fuss and was laughed at. I sat at the table and waited for the boss to start eating. He is the owner of the house, and guests should be treated as guests. This is family education.
"Does it hurt? Let me see the needle hole." Ding Hong's eyes were always fixed on An Yi's arm. There were six tubes of blood. He looked up and observed An Yi's complexion again. It was good, quite normal, not pale due to blood loss.
An Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally raised his wrist and pointed to a small red dot on it to show him: "The nurse's technique was excellent, accurate and gentle, and I didn't feel anything at all. In fact, they only drew five tubes, and one needle was for blood."
"Blood from fingers? On the fingers?" Ding Hong was already relaxed after hearing An Yi's previous words, but when he heard "blood from fingers", he became nervous again: "The fingers are connected to the heart, wouldn't it be more painful than having blood drawn? Every day, people say that medicine is becoming more and more advanced, but why is there no technology that can replace blood testing!"
An Yi blinked her eyes and looked at the man opposite her curiously. She rarely heard her boss complain, let alone such unreasonable complaints.
Ding Hong also realized his own gaffe, and said with a light cough: "Let's eat, eat more to replenish the blood."
For tonic, the food is made with various red dates, longans, donkey-hide gelatin and medicinal materials. I eat it so comfortably that my mouth becomes sticky. My appetite has greatly decreased and I feel nauseous after trying to eat a few bites.
Ding Hong knew that he had ruined the meal. It was not originally in this recipe, but thinking about the blood test today, he didn't care. The result was really bad. He frowned: "Okay, don't force yourself to eat it. I will ask the kitchen to make another one and send it directly to the medical examination room."
"No need to bother, they're all good." An Yi didn't want to waste anything, so he tried his best to eat most of the food he had already tasted, along with a plate of refreshing young cucumber dishes.
The subsequent physical examination, lunch, and other activities were the same as yesterday, and went smoothly. The massage program that made her feel painful and itchy was changed to thermal wave patch acupoint therapy, which is a bit like an electrocardiogram, except that the patches are covered all over her hands and feet, which is said to improve the circulation problems of nerve endings. The patches only heat up slightly and vibrate slightly, and the tingling feeling is acceptable.
It doesn’t matter what you do. The boss just wants to spend the money.
However, a small incident occurred after dinner.
Ding Hong frowned: "You still don't want to sleep on the bed? You don't believe me?" No wonder she asked about the renovation in the morning. She must have slept on the chaise longue in the living room again. It should have been removed long ago! No, what if she slept on the floor instead? This woman could do it.
"I want to try it out."
I guess Li Guanjia has discovered that no information has been successfully collected by the smart bed. I just don't know whether it was reported before or after the meal? Judging from the boss's expression, it was definitely after the meal. An Yi thought: Li Guanjia is really considerate and doesn't want to affect their appetite, but indigestion is not good either.
"Can you rest assured now?"
An Yi nodded.
Ding Hong remained silent as if he was angry. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "What kind of movie do you want to watch? A detective movie?"
An Yi smiled and nodded.
Later, it was An Yi's turn to be unhappy, because she just realized that the corridor had a new function besides the living room and dining room - a study. The desk was the dining table, which was very cheap.
"You must have worked very late last night. I saw some of the emails you sent. I have to work too, so why don't we be here together and communicate in time if there are any problems, so as to avoid sending emails back and forth and affecting efficiency."
An Yi thought that what the boss said made perfect sense and was the most reasonable advice she had received since she was trapped here. She nodded and said, "I'll come right after I finish the call."
Ding Hong sighed lightly. He had said it before: this woman has a different temper when it comes to work. She is rational, objective, and doesn't play any tricks.
He had wanted to ignore their professional relationship as much as possible in the past few days, but now he could only use work to tie her down. He had to admit that he was very frustrated.
Work, supper, and work again. Apart from necessary communication, the two did not say a word of idle talk during this period, but the atmosphere was the most harmonious and relaxed in recent days.
An Yi was very happy to let the other person feel that the most stable state between them was the present. But Ding Hong was the opposite. An Yi's thoughtfulness and understanding when working for him, and her smiles and frowns, made him feel very comfortable and relaxed to the bone.
That was working for him, for him, for Ding Hong.
If An Yi knew that her workaholic boss could confuse public and private matters like this, she would vomit blood and would never be able to look directly at her work again. She would curse loudly: "Do I work diligently and conscientiously because I covet your beauty? Am I obsessed with your charm? Ugh! Shameless, stinky man!"
