Upon seeing Xie Li approach, both of them fell silent. The housekeeper even inquired if he wanted a cup of tea, but Xie Li shook his head, signaling for them to ignore him and continue.

Then he overheard them continuing to discuss recent expenses, seemingly reconciling accounts. Xie Li felt a bit drowsy, so he adjusted his back pillow, propped his hand on the armrest, and opened his phone to read the news.

They went from last month's bills to Xie Siyun's birthday in October and then moved on to the next task.

It seemed... Jiang Yuying's workload was actually quite substantial. As the wife of a wealthy family, she had to deal with many complex and intricate matters, and she had to be especially sensitive to numbers and accounts. At the same time, she couldn't be too detached from reality; otherwise, if she encountered an expense like a $50 egg, she might not be able to understand it.

When they were almost done with their work, and he turned back to them, Xie Li found that he had fallen asleep. Jiang Yuying, feeling helpless, nudged him, "Honey, don't sleep here, you'll catch a cold."

Being woken up, Xie Li was somewhat speechless. 

"..." 

In September weather, you're worried about me catching a cold? But what can he do? After all, they were halfway up the mountain, so what she said was indeed possible.

Xie Li stretched lazily. "Then I'll go back to the room and rest for a while. Don't forget to call me."

Jiang Yuying nodded.

Days of rest at home always passed quickly, and it was soon a workday again. Although the chairman didn't need to go to work, Xie Li had gotten used to going to the office every day. There was nothing to do at home every day, and work was really easy, so he got used to going to work.

But he didn't know that his increasing frequency of going to work made the secretary's office miserable, and the managers below were on tenterhooks every day, fearing they would be caught by the boss.

Especially since the boss came to check every day. If you took the same elevator as the boss, it meant you were late. You could only arrive earlier than the boss or be later than the boss, but whenever they saw Xie Li in the elevator, they felt the pressure to get in even though they wanted to avoid it.

Therefore, every time Xie Li took the elevator, it felt empty.

When Xie Li arrived at the office, the assistant began to report on today's schedule, which was mostly irrelevant to Xie Li. However, at the end, the assistant sighed and began to report on things outside of work. "Sir, your several sponsored individuals have been mostly arranged. But Miss Zhang Yan wishes to continue her relationship with you and hopes to meet with you."

Xie Li looked up at the assistant, his eyes seeming to say, "Why can't you handle even this little thing?" But thinking about how hardworking Xiao Gao was, he decided not to trouble him.

"Why does she want to meet?"

The assistant didn't speak, just looked at Xie Li, with a look that seemed to say, "Don't you know?"

Damn, he was stared down.

Xie Li coughed. "Then arrange a time. After my flower arrangement class this afternoon, arrange a tea time." He didn't want to trouble the assistant too much. After all, according to the original character's unpredictable temperament, the assistant didn't want to be too ruthless to the original character's lovers. After all, the original character might be coaxed back, and then the unlucky one would be Xiao Gao himself.

Because he understood this well, Xie Li decided to personally put an end to this affair. Although it had nothing to do with his current self, since he was now using the original character's identity, this trouble was, in practical terms, Xie Li's.

At noon, according to custom, he had lunch with Jiang Yuying and then went to his flower arrangement class with her. Xie Li was a little confused about why the other students in the class seemed so excited to see him.

He probably wouldn't know that seeing him and Jiang Yuying reappear in the flower arrangement class, looking as close as ever, made the other students in the class believe in love again.

They whispered to each other, "It seems they indeed had something going on before, that's why they didn't come to class. It scared me."

"Who said it wasn't? I thought they had a fight, but thankfully not."

The students' quiet gossip didn't affect Xie Li and Jiang Yuying. They happily finished their flower arrangement class, and Xie Li left first while Jiang Yuying stayed to chat with the other students before heading home.

After Xie Li finished his flower arrangement class, instead of going back to the office, he had the driver take him to a meeting. Although Xie Li felt he hadn't wronged Jiang Yuying, he felt it would be very awkward if they were caught meeting in the same mall, so he had Zhang Yan choose a different location.

Zhang Yan was a smart woman. The place she chose was a private tea room with very good privacy, and she also booked a private room. She was currently very popular, being a leading actress, but she was afraid of being recognized by others.

Xie Li saw Zhang Yan for the first time and truly felt that she deserved her status as a leading actress; she was really beautiful. That's it, she was just good-looking; he didn't have any other impressions. It might also because leading actresses in recent years all had similar looks, and besides being good-looking, it was hard for Xie Li to say anything else about her distinctive features.

He even felt that, if you took into account temperament, Zhang Yan might not even compare to Jiang Yuying.

Well, his best friend was definitely the most beautiful in the world.
