Chapter 59 How to Catch the Big Fish
While Xu Li's mind was jumping back and forth between agreeing and disagreeing, the cleaning ladies arrived.

They are just as Xu Li said, down-to-earth, hard-working and quiet.

Xu Li said to clean up the bedroom first, and they went into Nanzhi's master bedroom without saying anything.

Wipe, mop the floor, change the bed sheets...even the inside and outside of the bathtub in the bathroom are cleaned.

Xu Li: "Don't you like taking a bath the most? I was so tired yesterday, so I'd like to take a bath to relieve my fatigue, and then have a good sleep. We can talk about anything later."

She needed time to think.

There are outsiders here, so it’s not convenient to talk about this matter.

Nanzhi: How did Xu Li know that she liked...

Oh, it turns out that the Raiders also like to take baths.

She clicked her tongue, feeling a little inexplicably unhappy.

Suppressing his emotions, Nanzhi asked Nanyi, who had been sitting quietly without disturbing the adults:

"Where's Yiyi? Do you want to take a shower?"

Everything else about the house in the shantytown is fine except that it doesn't have a separate bathroom, so taking a shower is very inconvenient.

Fortunately, it is early spring and the temperature is not high.

If it were summer, no matter how much suffering Nanzhi had endured, it would have been difficult for her to hold on.

So when Xu Li proposed it, Nanzhi became a little impatient.

Nan Yi is indeed her child.

She looked a little reserved and indifferent, but the light in her eyes did not diminish at all:
"want!"

Even the tone of voice is three points higher than usual!
Nanzhi found it interesting and asked him deliberately:

"Do you need help, Mom?"

Nan Yi's tone dropped:
"no, do not want."

Two red clouds appeared on the little face.

Nanzhi couldn't help it, stretched out her fingers and pinched:
"The little guy is still shy."

Nanzhi: “Huh.”

Turned around and ran away.

Xu Li on the side watched for a long time:

"Your relationship with Yi Yi has really improved a lot."

Nanzhi answered in a casual and relaxed tone:

"Well, just assume that the 'me' of the past four years was mentally ill or schizophrenic."

Xu Li was stunned.

Who would scold themselves like this?
And why is the time accurate to 4 years? -
Nanzhi walked into the bright and clean master bedroom bathroom and opened a drawer according to memory. It was full of essential oils, bath salt balls, and flower petals for bathing...

Very good, the bank card balance is 666, and there are a lot of essential oil bath balls priced at several hundred yuan each.

If it is not yours, you will not cherish it.

Fortunately, Nanzhi has already accepted the reality.

Now that she has bought it, how can she not enjoy it?
So I lit an aromatherapy candle, filled the pot with hot water, picked a starry sky bath salt ball and threw it in, added rose essential oil, and sprinkled flower petals on it. It was a full sense of ritual.

In fact, Nanzhi never has the character to compromise herself——

If she is required to endure hardships and work, she will never hide away. She will grit her teeth and swallow the blood foam and persevere!
But if it's her turn to enjoy herself, she won't refuse.

After soaking comfortably for half an hour, Nanzhi blew her hair dry and changed into a soft and comfortable nightgown.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I felt refreshed.

Nanzhi was carelessly combing her hair with her fingers, and suddenly she paused:
"Hmm? One by one?"

Nan Yi was like a puppy waiting for its owner, squatting quietly at the foot of the bed, curled up into a ball.

He didn't jump up until Nanzhi came out. There was joy in his eyes, but more of it was grievance:

"Mom, why did you take so long to wash?"

Nanzhi touched his neck guiltily:

"Um...why are you squatting at the foot of the bed instead of going to the bed?"

Asking questions in reverse is indeed the best way to divert attention.

Nan Yi's eyes lit up:
"Can I?"

Nanzhi laughed:

"What's not allowed?"

Nan Yi was as agile as a little monkey. He climbed onto the bed and did a somersault happily.

Nanzhi also walked over, lifted the quilt and sat down:
"Come here." Nan Yi obediently stretched out his hand and let Nan Zhi stuff him into the quilt and lie next to her.

"Do you want to sleep?" Nanzhi asked him.

Nan Yi shook his head and just looked at her with his dark eyes.

Nanzhi: "I'll go to sleep later."

As she spoke, she did not avoid Nan Yi, but took out her cell phone and flipped to a resume.

This is the electronic version of Xu Li’s resume, which he sent to me when we first started working together to show his sincerity.

But the attacker didn't even look at it and just threw it into his phone until Nanzhi found it.

In addition to Xu Li's basic information, such as her graduation from a top 10 Ivy League school and her MBA...

Another point is Xu Li’s work experience.

Xu Li did not enter the entertainment industry as an agent after graduation, but first joined a catering group called Zhiweiji.

Before she left, she had already reached senior management level in Zhiweiji.

But she left without hesitation, switched to the entertainment industry, and started again as a small agent.

Nanzhi checked and found that Zhiwei Ji is one of the top ten catering groups in China. The most famous one under its umbrella is Zhiwei Ji, a long-established top-notch restaurant in Yanjing. It has been passed down from the Qing Dynasty to the present day for a hundred years. It has three stars in the Zhenxiulu and ranked 21st last month.

The so-called Michelin in the West and the Oriental Delicacies List are the most authoritative evaluation lists in the Chinese food system. The fact that Zhiweiji is ranked 21st among all Chinese restaurants in the world shows its status.

The most coincidental thing is that the chairman of this Zhiweiji restaurant is named Xu.

…then the answer is obvious.

Xu Li should be from the Xu family of Zhiweiji.

It is even very likely that she is the daughter of the chairman of Zhiweiji.

So she studied for an MBA and went to work in her own company after graduation.

But for some unknown reason, he fell out with his family and entered the entertainment industry, which had nothing to do with his original industry.

Nanzhi tapped the phone screen with her knuckles as if she was lost in thought.

Nan Yi opened his eyes wide with curiosity:

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Thinking about how to pull a big fish into my net."

Nan Yi swallowed his saliva:
"Is it delicious?"

Nanzhi burst out laughing.

This made Nan Yi shyly hide half of her face in the pillow.

Nanzhi stroked his hair slowly:

"Want to eat fish? How about we buy some fish tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Then Yi Yi, is there anything else you want to eat?"

"I want to eat the candy apples from that day."

"Candied apple?"

Nan Yi nodded.

I silently repeated the names of the dishes several times in my mind.

Nanzhi: "Then let's make candied apples tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he continued to stroke Nan Yi's hair with his hand.

Nan Yi didn't say anything, but his obsidian eyes were narrowed comfortably and his throat made a purring sound like a cat.

It was quiet for a while.

Then, Nan Yi spoke, his voice was tender and a little soft, no longer the big boy who pretended to be mature and cold:
"I liked my previous home better."

Nanzhi was stunned: So Nanyi thinks that the shabby houses in the shantytown are also their homes?

"what about now?"

"Now... this house is also very good now. It feels a little bit like home."

His eyelids grew heavier and his voice became more fuzzy.

Soon he fell asleep.

——No matter how capable and capable he usually appears, Nan Yi is, after all, only four and a half years old.

Nanzhi was no longer sleepy at all.

She stroked Nan Yi's hair from time to time, with her eyes lowered, thinking for an unknown period of time.

 Note: The Cuisine Record is fictional, just think of it as the Chinese version of Michelin.
