80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 429 Beauty is also a skill

Qin Xian sat beside her, holding the child, whose gaze followed the movement of her chopsticks.

The last bit of gloom in Li Yingtang's heart dissipated, and she smiled, "Want to eat? Call Mom."

The child kicked his little feet, as if in protest.

Qin Xian chuckled, "How can my daughter be so adorable?"

“She thinks her own child is adorable, but in other people’s eyes, she’s just average,” Li Yingtang said.

“She’s unusual. I think she’s pretty.” Qin Xian suddenly felt anxious: “It’s better if she’s not so pretty. Being too beautiful can easily attract trouble.”

Tangtang, for example, used to live in the village, and as far as he knew, there were two men who had their eyes on her.

After moving to the city, people often asked her to be their pen pal.

She's skilled and capable of dealing with them.

He didn't dare to think about it if his daughter didn't have the talent for martial arts.

Li Yingtang: "It's better to be pretty; beauty is also a skill."

No one can predict what will happen in the future.

She's successful now, but what if she falls on hard times later?

The child is not very bright and cannot inherit her and Qin Xian's learning abilities. At least he can rely on his appearance to avoid some detours, right?

After finishing her meal, Li Yingtang went back to her room to rest.

The next day, upon entering the factory, she picked up the sheet that Xiao Meng had placed on her desk.

It has been confirmed that the salary has been paid.

Z muttered to himself, "Finally, I've accomplished something."

After sitting for a short while, he asked his assistant to call over a few colleagues from the finance office and talked to them about Zhu Mingcui.

The group was both surprised and frightened.

The finance manager said, "Our area has good public security, how could something like this happen?"

"The police might come to investigate in the next few days. Just tell them the truth. Sister Ge, you and Assistant Fang can take some gifts, calculate Sister Zhu's salary, and give her a 200 yuan red envelope to visit her at home."

"Hey."

"That's all, you can go about your business," Li Yingtang said, dismissing the group.

After spending some time in the office, she went to the new store. Because an employee she had trained earlier had jumped ship at a crucial moment, she signed contracts with the two new hires and personally mentored them.

Whenever she had free time, she would come over to give guidance.

When discussing business.

The shop assistant received a phone call: "Boss, it's a call from the factory, they're looking for you."

"Excuse me, I need to take this call." Li Yingtang left her client and answered the phone.

Assistant Fang:

"Mr. Li, the criminal investigation team is here to question you. They say they have some questions for you."

"You call them." Li Yingtang originally wanted to call the other party to the store, but the criminal investigation team would wear uniforms when on missions, and the nearby shops would inevitably speculate and gossip when they saw them.

Those unaware of the situation might think she had done something illegal.

It will damage one's reputation.

After weighing the options, he said, "Alright, you can entertain them first."

After hanging up the phone, she finished talking with the client and rode her bike back to the factory.

After walking a few steps into the factory, Assistant Fang came up to him: "President Li, they are in the reception room."

Li Yingtang nodded and greeted the two men after entering the house: "Hello, are there any additions?"

"Hello, yes. Regarding Zhu Mingcui, when you entered the courtyard that day, was the gate locked from the inside, or was the bolt just caught?"

Li Yingtang: "I didn't notice. You broke down the door, you investigated the case, so why are you asking me?"

One of the staff members scratched his head: "We suspect the murderer entered through the front door. The lock and bolt broke when she broke in, so it's hard to figure out." They checked the top of the wall, and apart from a few marks left by her climbing over the wall, there were no other signs of climbing.

The captain said she must be quite skilled.

With a wall that high, it's impossible for an ordinary person to leave only a few marks when they climb over it.

Therefore, after ruling out the possibility that the murderer was scouting the location, the murderer was motivated by the sight of the person.

The clutter in the room was likely caused by human intervention.

The perpetrator was most likely an acquaintance with some counter-surveillance capabilities. In order to mislead them, the door was deliberately locked to create the illusion that the perpetrator had passed over the wall.

But after asking everyone around them, they still couldn't find a suitable suspect.

"I didn't notice," Li Yingtang said.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Li Yingtang: "Come in."

Sister Ge pushed open the door: "Comrade, I suddenly remembered something. A week ago, Zhu Mingcui said that her cousin in the countryside asked her to borrow money and asked us if we should lend it to him. At that time, we asked her if her cousin had a job and if he had the ability to repay the loan."

She said her cousin was unemployed and had a gambling addiction. We advised her not to lend him the money, as it's best to avoid financial dealings between relatives. The staff member noted, "Okay, if you remember anything else, feel free to contact us."

"Eh."

The staff left.

Sister Ge patted her chest: "That's a bit scary, boss. They won't come every day, will they?"

"will not."

Li Yingtang returned to her office, recorded the orders received by the new store that day, arranged for the order takers to remeasure the items, and then went home after get off work.

I walked in and leaned against the sofa.

Aunt Wang asked, "Young lady, would you like some tea?"

"Have a drink, is the child being fussy today?"

“Her grandfather took her out,” Aunt Wang said.

Li Yingtang asked in surprise, "You took him out? Did you say where you were going?"

"I didn't say it."

Li Yingtang dialed Jia Yan's phone number, but couldn't get through.

I checked the time; it was just before five o'clock.

Jia Qingfeng hasn't finished get off work yet. Could her father-in-law be with him?
She dialed the number again, contacting Jia Qingfeng to ask Jia Yan, "Has the child's grandfather contacted you?"

“My dad applied for early retirement here, so I went to run errands and brought him here. We were planning to go home together after get off work. My boss used to be his comrade-in-arms, and he was watching the kids around him. He was chatting with them about the children and probably got carried away and forgot about the time. It’s almost time to get off work, so I’ll take him home now,” Jia Qingfeng said.

"No rush, I was just asking." Li Yingtang hung up the phone.

Jia Qingfeng found Jia Yan, who was surrounded by several middle-aged men.

He pulled Jia Yan aside and whispered about the phone call from Li Yingtang.

Jia Yan put the baby in the stroller: "I forgot the time. I'm leaving now."

His son can't live without the children.

If I don't see my child when I get off work, I'll probably give him the cold shoulder. What if I get angry and don't let him take care of the child anymore?
"There's still plenty of time, what's the rush?" someone said.

“Yes, I didn’t even hold him.” Someone walked up to the stroller and reached out as if to pick up the baby.

Jia Yan gently patted the cart away: "Go back and hug your own. I haven't hugged my own one enough yet." He pushed the cart out.

"Why did you bring the child here? You won't let us touch him or anyone else. Are you trying to entice us?"

“Yes.” Jia Yan said with a hint of pride.

His child is so adorable.

Her hair was black, shiny, and thick; she had a chubby little body and fair skin. When she woke up, her big eyes were wide open, and her pupils were rolling around. She was incredibly cute.

He can't help but show off.

He got into his car and went straight home.

Just as I sat down in the living room, Qin Xian returned.

After rushing into the bathroom to wash my hands, I picked up the child and kissed him several times.

The child smiled with his face turned to the side.

Jia Yan said, "Look, he's smiling."

Li Yingtang: "Why is there no sound?"

Qin Xian: "It will take at least three months before I can laugh again."

Li Yingtang found this strange; it was the first time she had heard this explanation.

Qin Xian then asked, "Are you busy today?"

"I'm pretty busy. First, I went to the factory, then to the new store, where I took two orders. Then the factory called to say the criminal investigation team is investigating the accountant. I've been on the road all day. I'm thinking of learning to drive," Li Yingtang said.

Learning to drive takes a long time now, and by the time you get your driver's license, you'll almost have some money in your pocket.

I'll buy a car then, and it will be more convenient to travel.

Jia Yan: "It's really inconvenient to ride a bike when there are so many things to do. I heard you can drive, so I'll ask someone to pull some strings to get your driver's license, and then I'll apply for a car in my name for you to drive."

Li Yingtang declined, saying, "No rush. I can drive, but I can't fix it. Our factory has driving school spots available, so I can just sign up."

There are very few car repair shops these days, and it's extremely difficult to find one if your car breaks down.

If you learn to repair things yourself, you can at least handle emergencies.

As for applying for a vehicle, connections are indispensable.

It's not worth owing someone a favor for owning a car, so I'll keep it so it might be useful later.

Jia Yan: "The new car won't break down; we'll learn how to repair it along the way."

Li Yingtang: "No, don't worry about it. I have my own plans."

Seeing that she said that, Jia Yan did not insist any further.
