One big and one small are practicing love

After Li Zhiming left, Zuo Kunmin looked through the documents roughly. There was a lot of work tonight. Taking two deep breaths, he picked up the coffee cup on the desk, stood up, and walked out.

After leaving the study room, I saw Gu Liya lying on the sofa, curled up with a pillow, covered with a long white down jacket, with delicate makeup on her face, and a peaceful sleeping look.

After standing there and watching for a while, Zuo Kunmin came to the restaurant.

Aunt Zhang was cleaning the cabinets. When she saw Zuo Kunmin coming over, Aunt Zhang came over to take the cup and said, "Mr. Zuo, do you still want some coffee? What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Miss Gu has been sleeping in the living room?"

Aunt Zhang looked towards the living room and said, "Miss Gu just fell asleep. She has been wearing headphones and looking at her mobile phone in the afternoon."

"Strong coffee and sandwiches will be sent to my study later." After Zuo Kunmin said that, he turned to the living room, sat on the sofa next to Gu Liya, patted her shoulder, and shouted: "Gu Liya, wake up."

The eyelids painted with golden pearlescent powder slowly opened, the thick eyelashes flickered twice, and a pair of bright black eyes opened. When Gu Liya saw Zuo Kunmin, she immediately sat up with a smile. Her white down jacket slipped off, revealing the bright red sweater underneath, and she said with a smile: "Teacher Zuo."

"It's getting dark. I'll ask Aunt Zhang to make you something to eat and ask the driver to take you back to school. What do you want to eat?"

Gu Liya stopped laughing, turned to look at the dark night outside the window, and said, "I also want to eat the steak cooked by Aunt Zhang and drink red wine."

Zuo Kunmin raised his wrist to look at his watch and said, "Okay! I'll tell Aunt Zhang. Around 8:[-], I'll ask the driver to wait for you downstairs."

"Teacher Zuo!" Gu Liya said urgently, leaning forward and saying, "Can you send me off?"

"No!" Zuo Kunmin said firmly, paused, and said, "I still have a lot of work to do."

Just as he was talking, Aunt Zhang came over with a dinner plate and asked, "Mr. Zuo, do you want to send it to the study or put it here?"

"Miss Gu wants to eat steak and drink red wine. It's snowing heavily tonight, so you can get off work as soon as you're done." After Zuo Kunmin finished speaking, he stood up, took the dinner plate from Aunt Zhang's hand, and said, "I'll do it myself."

"Teacher Zuo." Gu Liya stood up and said, "No need to ask the driver to wait for me. After eating, I will take a taxi back."

Zuo Kunmin turned to look at Gu Liya, nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he strode towards the study with the dinner plate in hand.

As soon as the study door closed, Zuo Kunmin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the thick pile of documents on the desk, and calmed down for a while.

He gulped down two sandwiches, four or five blueberries, and drank a cup of strong, bitter coffee in one gulp. From a pile of documents, I picked out the meeting minutes of the Finance Department, spread out the documents, and started working on it.

Cash flow statement, balance sheet, income statement... annual, half-year, quarterly, monthly statements. He flipped through the tables one by one, compared them with the financial statements of the Eighth Five Steel Plant, and listed the data of the two on a piece of draft paper.

Use the computer on your desk to calculate the new data and write it down on a new piece of scratch paper. Then, look at the newly calculated data and think carefully.

The funds are sufficient to support the acquisition of the Eighth Five Steel Plant, but it takes up a lot of working capital. This part of the funds will not have a return on investment within a year, and the return rate in the future will not be high.

You have the funds, the ability to do it, and you can make a profit, but shareholders will protest fiercely when they see these data. Zuo Kunmin imagined their voices and faces.

There was a knock on the door, and Zuo Kunmin said, "Please come in."

Aunt Zhang came in with a glass of water and said, "Mr. Zuo, it's time to take medicine."

"Thank you!" Zuo Kunmin took the cup and looked at his watch. It was almost 8 o'clock and said, "Is Miss Gu gone?"

"No! Miss Gu is having dinner. The steak needs to be marinated for at least half an hour. It has just been fried."

"I understand, Aunt Zhang, please get off work."

"Mr. Zuo, how many people will you cook breakfast for tomorrow morning?"

Zuo Kunmin swallowed two mouthfuls of hot water, put down the water glass, and said, "You don't have to come over tomorrow morning. Just take a day off."

After Aunt Zhang left, Zuo Kunmin stood up, took out the medicine box from under the cabinet, counted out the medicine prescribed by Dr. Yang, and took it. Then open your laptop, make a table of the data you just calculated, and send it via email.

After finishing all this, I looked at the time and it was already 8:[-]. Zuo Kunmin took the empty cup and went to the restaurant to fill it with water.

Walking straight to the restaurant, I saw Gu Liya still sitting at the dining table, drinking red wine with a goblet in her hand. The plate in front of her was empty. She had fair skin and slightly red cheeks.

"Drink less. It's dangerous for a drunk girl to ride alone in a car." Zuo Kunmin said while pouring water.

"Since you are afraid of my danger, can I stay here tonight?"

When the water glass is just full, shake your hand slightly and the water in the glass will slosh slightly.

Zuo Kunmin slowly raised his head and met Gu Liya's direct gaze. Zuo Kunmin calmly raised his water glass, took a sip, and said slowly: "My family's rooms are upstairs, and there is only one guest room downstairs, where Xiao Xiao lives."

"I'm calling Xiaochen." Gu Liya said, grabbing the mobile phone on the dining table and about to make a call.

Zuo Kunmin took the water glass, turned around and left, hurried to the study room, drank a glass of hot water in a big gulp, and the glass fell solemnly on the table.

He randomly pulled out a folder from the pile and looked through it. I heard the sound of the door opening and closing coming from the room next door.

Minutes of the meeting of the marketing department, market research reports of eight steel mills in Northeast China, three state-owned enterprises and five private enterprises. Only two medium-sized private companies have made meager profits, while the others have suffered losses in the past three years, and their selling prices are often lower than the market price.

Common problems: shrinking market demand, low production efficiency, poor cash flow, high bad debt rate, backward management system...no improvement at all.

On the draft paper, several summary points and key data were scrawled. Zuo Kunmin frowned and thought deeply, wondering how to express these key points appropriately? I heard the door creaking again from the room next door.

Zuo Kunmin listened with bated breath as footsteps approached the study.

All sounds are silent.

After a moment, there was a knock on the door.

Zuo Kunmin shifted his gaze from the study door to the desk. He straightened the draft paper, opened the notebook, tapped the keyboard, and typed the words on the paper into the computer.

"Please come in."

As the door opened, the sound of footsteps and the sweet and fruity fragrance came.

"Teacher Zuo, can I borrow a book to read?"

Zuo Kunmin was still typing on the keyboard quickly and said without raising his head: "Okay."

The air was filled with the sound of "crackling" keyboards, and the invisible fragrance was getting stronger and stronger.

"Teacher Zuo, can you help me get this book? I can't reach it."

With these words, the 'crackling' sound suddenly stopped.

"Okay!" Zuo Kunmin slowly closed the laptop, stood up calmly, and reached the bookshelf in two steps. Gu Liya was seen wearing a white men's shirt with bare legs. Under the spotlight, the black underwear underneath was clearly visible.

"Which book?"

Gu Liya stood on tiptoes, stretched out her arms and pointed to the high bookshelf. The collar of her shirt slipped off, revealing one white shoulder and black bra strap, and said: "Van Gogh's Manuscripts."

Zuo Kunmin gently raised his arm and reached the book. The book had just been pulled out halfway. Suddenly a cold body pressed against him, two slender arms hugged his chest, and the sweet fragrance approached.

"I've already taken the initiative to this extent, what else do you want from me?" Gu Liya cried.

The book was hanging on the shelf, and Zuo Kunmin slowly retracted his hand. When he lowered his head, he saw Gu Liya staring at him with a pair of tearful eyes. She had no makeup and only wore red lips. Her half-wet hair was piled up in a mess.

"You have seen my state. I am very busy and have no time to fall in love."

Gu Liya shook her head, tears falling, "Just like today, whenever you need me, I can drop everything and show up. I can wait for you all day long."

"Why are you talking to Xiaoxiao on the phone?"

"Don't worry, I'm sensible. I won't tell anyone." After saying that, Gu Liya stood on tiptoe to reach Zuo Kunmin's lips that were about to open.

Zuo Kunmin turned his head to the side and hid, his eyes avoiding Gu Liya's direct gaze.

'Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong...' The doorbell rang suddenly.

"I'll go out and take a look." After Zuo Kunmin said this calmly, he pulled Gu Liya's hand away and strode towards the door.
