Li Zexin glanced at it. There were indeed many likes. There were so many that they had pushed the photo to the top and the comments filled the screen.

However, most of the comments were asking if he was being threatened. Why would he attend a parent-teacher meeting? And even if he attended, why would he take photos and share them on his social media?

“Mr. Li, take a closer look,” said Li Zexin.

“I don’t want to. Anyvvay, there are plenty of likes.”

“You’re the most popular, Ms. Lin. Finish your meal quickly. After that, I’ll take you to the playground and the library to take some pictures. These are the two unique places in the school. We must check them out.” Li Zexin finally had his parents visiting his school. He wanted to make the most of it.

“Okay.”

Lin Wan and Li Yanchen had completely different responses.

Li Zexin looked at his father disdainfully. “I asked Ms. Lin. If she agrees, then it’s settled. You can wait at the school entrance if you don’t want to come with us.”

Li Yanchen was speechless.

In the end, Li Zexin dragged both Lin Wan and Li Yanchen to take photos in front of all the school’s teaching buildings. If the bell hadn’t rung for class, Lin Wan felt that her stepson wouldn’t have let them go.

Although she was tired, Lin Wan was glad to cooperate with her stepson because he looked so happy. She even agreed to take photos with his classmates.

After leaving the school, Lin Wan came back home and sat on a chair in the courtyard.

“Why am I so tired, even when I didn’t do anything? My feet, my throat, my calves… everything hurts!”

Li Yanchen leaned over and massaged his wife’s feet. “You spoil Xinxin too much. You should have just refused. I can see he took advantage of the situation. If it weren’t for the afternoon classes, he would have dragged us until evening.”

He sounded very displeased. Then he said gently, “It’s my fault. I didn’t give him enough love, which makes him crave all the warmth in just one moment as if it’ll disappear. I never saw him so happy. Seeing him happy made me feel happy too. Thank you, Wanwan.”

“God, my ears can’t take it anymore. If I hear one more “Thank you,” I’ll get angry. Let me rest. Can you get me a blanket?” She stretched lazily on the chair.

“Yes, ma’am. I’ll be going to the company now. There are a few days left until the year-end banquet. I need to check the preparations. I wanted you to guide me, but seeing how tired you are, you should rest at home. Join me tomorrow.” Li Yanchen kissed her on her forehead.

“Okay.” Lin Wan closed her eyes.

“I’ll turn on the heater in the sunroom to keep it warm.”

After bringing a blanket for his wife and filling a thermos with hot milk, Li Yanchen left for the company.

In the afternoon, Auntie Huang returned from grocery shopping and saw Lin

Wan sleeoinc in the courtvard. Worried that she might catch a cold. Auntie Huang walked over and checked her temperature. Seeing the heat escaping from the sunroom’s door gap, she felt relieved and went into the kitchen.

She closed all the doors and windows, afraid of waking the sleeping woman with the noise as she cooked.

After washing and cutting all the vegetables, Auntie Huang sat in the yard and played with her phone.

She had set Lin Wan and Li Yanchen’s messages as a top priority. As soon as she opened the phone, she saw the notifications for the pictures and the comments.

Auntie Huang covered her mouth in surprise. Li Yanchen, Lin Wan, and Li Zexin looked so happy in the picture.

With a smile, she “liked” the post and then zoomed in on the picture to take a closer look. Thinking of the past, when she attended some of the parent-teacher meetings for her young masters, he felt sorry for the kids. But now, everything was different. Both of Li Zexin’s parents had attended the parent-teacher meeting. It was no wonder Li Zexin looked as happy as a little child in the picture.

Auntie Huang glanced at Lin Wan. She respected and admired her even more.

During the weekend at Chenxin, more than half of the employees were working overtime. In the past, Li Yanchen always made his employees overtime, but now, he had been encouraging his employees to stick to a five-day, eight-hour work schedule. It reduced the workload by half for the employees, and they were more productive. However, some of them were still trying to adjust to the new schedule and volunteered to work overtime.

Li Yanchen went to the multipurpose hall, where the employees performing in the year-end banquet had scheduled their rehearsals on the weekend to avoid disrupting their work.

The hosts for the party were the front desk manager and the technology department manager.

In the multipurpose hall, everyone was fully engaged in the rehearsal and was completely unaware that their boss had arrived.

From singing to dancing to sketches to magic, the performances were diverse and entertaining. Li Yanchen sat in the audience and admired his employees’ many skills. He found out that most of them were quite talented.

Li Yanchen watched for two hours before the rehearsal finally ended.

Only after everyone dispersed did they notice their boss sitting in the audience. They approached him one by one. “Hello, President Li.”

“You all did very well. Did the Planning Department and Public Relations

Department work together on this show?” Li Yanchen asked as he got up.

“The ideas came from both departments, but the participants are from various departments,” said the planning manager.

“Great job. Is there a rehearsal tomorrow?”

“Yes, but it won’t be as long as today. Tomorrow, we’ll focus on the first half of the program. The full rehearsal will take about three hours, and there won’t be enough time after work.”

“Okay. Arrange it as you see fit so that you don’t tire yourselves out. If you can’t find enough time, you can cut down on some work.”

“Thank you, Mr. Li,” said everyone.

“You’ve worked hard. See you tomorrow.” Li Yanchen was the first to leave the multipurpose hall.

As soon as the door closed, the employees who had just talked to Li Yanchen began fangirling.

“Ahhh! The boss said ‘you’ve worked hard’ to me! How can his voice be so gentle? How can his smile be so tender?”

“He didn’t say it to just you. He said it to everyone. Don’t be infatuated with him. He is a married man. Those who tried to get close to him ended very badly.”

“Lulu, let Yuan Yuan be. Why do you have to be so harsh? She’s been in the company for only half a year, and she doesn’t know the situation.” “Did he come to see our rehearsals Dersonallv? He was even worried that rehearsals might tire us out and suggested we cut down on company work. He gave us three salary raises in half a year, and now he cares about our physical and mental health. I’m so glad I stayed. I’ll serve at Chenxin for my whole life. I’ll work until I’m old and gray.” “Sister Liu, you already have white hair.”

“Oh, come on. They are just a few strands.”

“Sister Yang, don’t you like introducing people to potential partners? Do you have any resources on hand? If there’s someone who’s just one-tenth as good as the boss, send him my way, and I’ll marry him on the spot.”

“Guoguo, calm down.”

“It’s just another day in my life, Madam. If you can’t find someone for me, I’ll find someone ten years older than me.”

Li Yanchen hadn’t walked that far from the hall. He could vaguely hear their whispers. He smiled and headed to his office on the top floor.

Assistant Qin shut down his computer and prepared to leave work. He worked an extra seven hours without pay to clear the backlog of tasks. Now, he wanted to go back early for a date..
