Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 210 Is it ice or not?

Lin Xi awkwardly put the condom into the bag.

Duan Yiheng reached for the bag, then took it out again: "I'll put it on the bedside table in the bedroom."

Lin Xi: "...When did you take it?"

Duan Yiheng: "When it's time to pay the bill."

Lin Xi: "..."

How come she didn't see it?

“We ran out of them once, and I asked the housekeeper to buy more, but you weren’t willing,” Duan Yiheng said with a smile. “I’ll buy these personal items myself from now on.”

Lin Xi: "...Stop talking, if you want to buy it, then buy it. I'm going to eat ice cream."

Duan Yiheng rubbed her head: "Eat less."

He then got up and took the condoms into the bedroom.

Lin Xi hadn't had ice cream in a long time, and the first bite was so cold it felt like ice to her heart.

When Duan Yiheng came out and saw this, he scoffed, "It's frozen?"

Lin Xi scooped a spoonful for him and vaguely suggested that he try it.

Duan Yiheng grasped her wrist, bent down to lift her chin, and snatched the still-unmelted ice cream from her mouth.

Lin Xi was speechless for a moment, then pulled her hand away and decided not to give him another bite.

Duan Yiheng sat down beside her and habitually put his arm around Lin Xi. Lin Xi leaned against him and asked:

"What should you say when you meet with Chairman Zhao today? Does he support you?"

Duan Yiheng hummed in agreement: "He doesn't get along well with Duan Zheng, but what I'm worried about is Ke Yu's influence."

According to the group's articles of association, the formal takeover of Yinfan will be initially confirmed by the board of directors and then approved by the shareholders' meeting.

Ke Yu is the board secretary. Her father-in-law is a major shareholder and has interests in some other shareholders. They also have a good relationship.

If she obstructs him, Duan Yiheng will face a difficult situation.

Lin Xi held Duan Yiheng's hand: "Grandpa is here, and so am I. You can definitely do it."

Duan Yiheng's arm went across the back of her neck, and he pinched her cheek with one hand. Looking down, he saw that half of the ice cream had been eaten. He picked it up and threw it on the coffee table: "You can't eat any more."

Lin Xi tilted her head back and kissed his lips, her eyes full of mischievousness: "Is it cold?"

Duan Yiheng used his thumb and forefinger to hold her chin and kissed her.

It's even colder now.

In a flash, Lin Xi was lifted up in a hug.

The poor ice cream melted completely.

Duan Yiheng settled down at Tiandu Yuxi, and Lin Xi's wardrobe filled with more and more clothes belonging to him.

On the evening of the 15th, Lin Xi received a call from home. His grandfather asked him to come home for dinner on Friday night.

Lin Xi hung up the phone and spoke to Duan Yiheng.

Duan Yiheng was wondering why he hadn't been notified when his phone rang. It was Sister Mei calling.

Same content.

Lin Xi bit her fingertip and turned to ask Duan Yiheng, "Grandpa is going to announce it?"

Duan Yiheng shook his head: "To put everyone's mind at ease, we won't announce it at night. If it's a will-based inheritance, it will definitely be during the day, with the executor, lawyer, and notary present. However, I guess the share transfer will be a direct transfer."

Inheritance by will is too complicated and can even cause unnecessary family disputes.

Lin Xi naturally understood this principle as well.

Seeing that she seemed preoccupied, Duan Yiheng comforted her, "Don't worry, go to work when you need to go to work, eat when you need to eat. Things will always come to pass, and we'll face them together, good or bad."

Lin Xi nodded solemnly: "Okay."

Thinking about it was pointless, Lin Xi knew that, and went to work in high heels the next day as usual.

I was driving when I received a hurried call from the company saying that there was trouble at the entrance of the industrial park.

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Who's causing trouble?"

"She said she wanted to see Manager Chen from the sales department, which seems to be her mother. She also said she wanted to see our General Manager Duan and Secretary Lin. I really couldn't do anything about it. She's too old, and the security guards couldn't handle her either."

Lin Xi frowned deeply: "Has the HR manager arrived yet?"

"I've already made the call, it will take another fifteen minutes."

The green light turned on, and Lin Xi stepped on the gas: "I'll be there in five minutes. You guys keep things calm and try your best to soothe the emotions of the employees' families. Also, notify Sales Manager Chen and Director Xu Yu to call them several times. They might have been working overtime on the project last night and are still asleep."

The other party hurriedly responded. Lin Xi's eyes darkened; she was determined to resolve the matter before Duan Yiheng arrived at the company.

Three and a half minutes later, Lin Xi's car came to a steady stop at the park's main entrance.

The security guard saw this and quickly came over. Lin Xi handed him the car keys: "Park my car properly. Where are the troublemakers?"

The security guard pointed to the guard booth: "They're howling inside."

Lin Xi nodded: "I'll go take a look."

From afar, Lin Xi heard the dry wail: "What's the use of raising such a big child? It's just asking for some money to make her old mother cry her eyes out, it's not like we're going to kill her."

"I raised you from infancy, what use is such a heartless person to your company?"

"I need to see your manager, I need to see your manager, I'm not talking to a lowly security guard like you, hurry up."

"..."

Lin Xi let out a long breath and pushed open the door.

When the old woman saw Lin Xi, she suddenly rushed over, startling the security guard who grabbed her and said, "Grandma, please calm down."

"Are you their leader?" the old lady asked Lin Xi.

Lin Xi stepped forward and signaled the security guard to release the person. Then he said to the old lady, "I'm not a leader, but I can say a few words. Have you had breakfast yet?"

The old lady's eyes darted around: "I've already eaten. Don't try to fool me with your excuses. I want to see your boss."

"Okay, then tell me first, why do you want to see our leader?" Lin Xi asked.

"What else could it be? Chen Jingyi works for your company, right? My family is short of money, so I asked her for some. Is that wrong?"

Lin Xi smiled and asked, "So, what's your relationship to Manager Chen?"

“I’m her mother.” The old lady glanced at Lin Xi smugly. “Anyway, I won’t leave until I get the money today.”

Lin Xi asked her to sit down and have some tea: "Let's talk slowly. Tell me about your situation with Manager Chen."

Just as the old lady was about to speak, the HR manager hurriedly entered the guard booth.

Upon seeing Lin Xi, he breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lin Xi a grateful look.

Lin Xi tilted her head, signaling him to come and handle it.

To everyone's surprise, the old lady grabbed Lin Xi and wouldn't let her leave: "I see that everyone treats you very respectfully, you can't leave."

Lin Xi frowned, and the HR manager immediately stepped forward to reassure her: "I am the manager of the human resources department. Can we talk in the conference room? Manager Chen will come to work later, and we can clear things up face to face."

The old lady wouldn't leave: "I want to talk here."

"Then please let go of me first." Lin Xi frowned; the old lady's grip was too strong.

The old lady was completely unreasonable; fearing Lin Xi would leave, she exerted even more force.

Lin Xi took the initiative to lead her back a little: "I won't leave, can you let go of me first? It hurts too much to hold you like that."

The old lady loosened her grip slightly and said to the HR manager, "Don't try to fool me with nice words. I want to see Chen Liangyi and your superiors."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Chen Jingyi rushed over.
