20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3729 Work Adjustment

Zhao Chang'an looked at Su Ying's bun hairstyle, which was indeed the same as last night's, but it had been carefully styled, making it even rounder and highlighting her fair, rosy, and youthful face.

Su Ying glanced at Zhao Chang'an politely, and Zhao Chang'an knew that she wanted to get affirmation and praise from him.

She smiled and said, "Auntie, your previous style and clothing were too conservative and plain. Of course, this was also related to the nature of your profession at the time. Now that you've broken out of that cage, there's no need to continue with those slightly outdated outfits. It's a waste of your good looks. We're running a business, especially in the fashion-conscious cultural tourism industry, so we should lead the trend. It's not good to show off your figure in winter, but in summer, you can wear a pencil skirt, stockings, and high heels. You'll definitely become a famous businesswoman in the mountain city and a beautiful calling card for our cultural tourism group."

"Look how eloquent Mr. Zhao is. If you could praise my mother like that, would I have almost broken ties with my family back then?"

Ai Xiaomo smiled and muttered a complaint to her husband in a low voice.

"This skill cannot be learned."

Wang Deyuan glanced at Su Ying, his mouth moving as if he wanted to say that even though Su Ying is more than ten years older than you now, she looks younger and prettier than you. In terms of temperament, figure, skin and appearance, she can easily surpass you.

Even if he were crazy, he wouldn't tell the truth like that.

Moreover, Wang Deyuan was also a little surprised. He had worked with Su Ying for a while, but Su Ying's attire had always been elegant, generous and appropriate. He had also seen Liu Mingxiong looking at Su Ying with fire in his eyes when she turned her back to them many times. He knew that this was a common problem for many businessmen when they saw women in the system who were good-looking, had good figures and temperament and had a certain social status.

As for Wang Deyuan, he never thought Su Ying could be that pretty.

However, today, with just a simple bun hairstyle that revealed her pointed chin and long neck, she seemed to have undergone an instant transformation, becoming a sophisticated, fashionable, and artistic beauty. This made Wang Deyuan sigh in his heart about the importance of dressing up.

But when he looked at his wife's skinny arms and legs, her buttocks that couldn't even fill out her jeans, and the fact that she had the means to feed their daughter if they weren't buying baby formula, Wang Deyuan felt that no matter how his wife dressed up, she could never recreate Su Ying's charm.

Aside from being momentarily stunned by Su Ying's attire at first, the fire in Liu Mingxiong's eyes died down.

He had seen too many heavily made-up women with all sorts of clothes and outfits abroad, but after returning to China, he realized that only women in baggy trousers and white shirts were truly alluring.

Su Ying's current outfit immediately made him feel bored, and he didn't even bother to look at her a second time.

On the contrary, Lin Yi-hsia became more and more attractive to him the more he looked at her.

Liu Mingxiong thought this was for the best, otherwise he couldn't help but steal glances at his sister-in-law's back, which was immoral. With a different woman looking at her, he wouldn't feel that pressure.

Liu Mingxiong naturally knew Su Ying's character, but deeply influenced by the dregs of Western thought, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As long as his younger brother didn't say anything, Su Ying would still be his good sister-in-law.

“Then my dad will be worried. With such a beautiful wife, he’ll be laughing in his sleep.”

Upon hearing Zhao Chang'an's praise, Liu Cui quickly followed suit to please her mother.

Su Ying smiled slightly on the surface, but she was overjoyed inside. She took her daughter's arm and helped her choose breakfast.

Looking at the mother and daughter, who appeared to be a pair of young and slender sisters from behind, Zhao Chang'an smiled.

This scene now feels like a true picture of motherly love and filial piety, unlike before when Su Ying always seemed to harbor unvented anger, making Liu Cui feel vaguely afraid of her.

I was really something before. I wasn't a good person to begin with, yet I pretended to be so innocent. As a result, Liu Cui was caught in the middle and suffered for so long.

Zhao Chang'an carried a basket of steamed buns and a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, and casually found a small table for four to sit down. Liu Mingjie served himself a bowl of fried rice, a cup of soy milk, and a tea egg.

He was quick; after selecting these two items, he saw Zhao Chang'an sitting down and brought the breakfast over.

After a while, Su Ying and Liu Cui also sat down, and the four of them sat down to eat together.

Zhao Chang'an thought for a moment and said, "Since Secretary Duan isn't very interested in our ideas, and the group can't organize enough supervision of the tea farmers in Pengzhou, the tea garden town, and the area around Peach Blossom Lake who are willing to cooperate this year, then this tea project won't really start production until the pre-Qingming tea in March next year. There's definitely a lot of work to be done in the previous layout of the tea industry, but we also need to speed things up for the cultural tourism sector. Right now, General Manager Wang is in charge of overseeing the overall situation, Uncle Xiong is in charge of external liaison, and Auntie, you're in charge of personnel, but I think we can make some adjustments."

Su Ying knew that Zhao Chang'an was going to give her more responsibilities, and she was overjoyed. She said to Zhao Chang'an, "Shall I call Deyuan and my elder brother over?"

"Then let's switch tables."

Over the years, Liu Mingjie has felt pressured and uncomfortable whenever he is with his wife. Even at home, the two have always slept in separate beds and had their own space.

Seeing his wife dressed like that, he felt like he was sitting next to her, like her old and ugly father, and he felt extremely awkward. Hearing his wife say this, he immediately asked to change tables.

At first, he took the initiative to sit at the same table as Zhao Chang'an because he didn't want to sit at the same table as his wife. He thought that his wife disliked Zhao Chang'an and would definitely not come over if she saw him sitting there. However, he miscalculated and did not take into account that his daughter wanted to sit at the same table as Zhao Chang'an.

Liu Cui was not happy to hear her father say this, but she knew that Zhao Chang'an wanted to talk about work, so she had no choice but to stand up.

"Uncle, there's no need. I'll discuss this with Mr. Wang over the phone. It's Aunt Tan's work arrangement right now, so I'll ask for her opinion."

Hearing Zhao Chang'an say that, Liu Mingjie had no choice but to sit down again.

"Is it because you're reluctant to sit at the same table as me? You've slept in separate beds from me for so many years, and now you're even avoiding sitting at the same table to eat?"

Su Ying gave her husband a disapproving look, and Liu Mingjie's heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile and said, "Chang'an is busy with work, and I'm afraid I'll interrupt your business conversation."

Zhao Chang'an continued, "There's absolutely no need to waste your talent, Auntie, on the personnel matters of the cultural tourism group."

"What talents could I possibly have?"

Su Ying spoke modestly, but the expression on her face betrayed that she still considered herself very talented.

Liu Mingjie and Liu Cui, who knew her well, immediately chimed in, saying, "Su Ying/Mom, you're really talented."

Zhao Chang'an could imagine from this how much Su Ying usually suppressed this father and daughter.

"I believe that President Wang still has a comprehensive understanding of the overall situation and the group's infrastructure and personnel,"

Su Ying looked at Zhao Chang'an with some surprise. She didn't expect him to give the two most important areas, infrastructure and personnel, to Wang Deyuan. One is for spending money, and the other is for managing people. With these two in his hands, Wang Deyuan can basically have the final say in the group.

"Uncle Xiong is still in charge of external liaison and the next tea plantation contract. His broken Mandarin, which is a mix of Chinese and English, and his overseas Chinese identity are perfect for these areas. These days, it's become popular that foreign monks can chant sutras better."
