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

Chapter 373 He knew her inner thoughts the moment she opened her mouth.

“I’m not bothered at all,” Wu Hong said with a smile. “I’m here to eat and take something with me this time.”

Li Yingtang: "I was originally going to give it away too."

"By the way, isn't that young man from Doctor Qin's family your brother?" Wu Hong finally had a chance to ask the question she had been holding back for a long time.

Li Yingtang paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."

“You two look so alike, I thought you were brothers from the same mother. I asked you before, but you never explained it clearly.”

Li Yingtang formally denied it: "No."

Wu Hong then asked, "What happened to Doctor Qin's father?"

“Do you remember that old lady who came to our village? She had a nice air about her, fair skin, and said that Ah-Xian was her grandson. I told you some things about Ah-Xian back then. Don’t ask about this anymore, it’s not something I can talk about, so please keep it a secret,” Li Yingtang said.

"Yes, I know which words I can say and which words I can't say."

"."

After Wu Hong left.

Aunt Guo said to Li Yingtang, "Girl, these leftovers won't fit in the refrigerator, and they'll smell in the cupboard, so I'll just put them on the counter."

Li Yingtang went into the kitchen to check and saw seven or eight meat dishes on the table, while the refrigerator was full of vegetables: "From now on, if you can't finish the vegetables at home, just throw them away. Putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to smell bad and get in the way. As for the meat dishes, apart from the fish, you can take the rest home if you want them."

"Yes, I will." Aunt Guo didn't stand on ceremony and smiled, "My previous employer was the same way. He gave me most of the things he didn't need at home."

Li Yingtang repeatedly heard the other party praise his former employer.

At first, I thought the other person was a decent person, and even after leaving my former employer's house, I didn't say anything bad about them.

Be alert at this moment.

What do you mean?
Is this an implication that she is learning from her previous employer?
She didn't respond.

Aunt Guo continued, "Why did your father-in-law come alone? Where is your mother-in-law? I noticed that your father-in-law and Xiao Qin don't get along very well; they haven't exchanged a single word. Is your mother-in-law and Xiao Qin the same way?"

Li Yingtang glanced coldly at Aunt Guo and said directly, "Auntie, let me first confirm one thing: Ah Xian and his mother have a very good relationship, and there are no conflicts between them. Don't pry into other things. You can tell others what you see and hear here, but don't let me know."

Aunt Guo looked embarrassed and said, "Oh."

Li Yingtang walked out of the kitchen and faced Qin Xian.

She walked quickly towards him and took his hand.

"Aunt Guo was just asking casually, is it necessary to be so strict?" Qin Xian asked, puzzled.

When people around her pry into their private lives, she sometimes even goes so far as to say a few extra words.

Li Yingtang: "Because Aunt Guo is not my friend, I am her boss, so I use the technique of managing subordinates on her."

Qin Xian became eager to listen: "Tell me more."

Li Yingtang smiled and said, “There are two sets of rules in this world. The first set is written in the book: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness; gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility.”

Once we enter society and begin the struggle for interests, we'll need to use the second set of skills: the art of recognizing people and managing subordinates.

When dealing with superiors, you need to learn how to manage upwards. You must correctly understand the status and role of your superiors, actively communicate with them, and thus quickly reach a consensus and achieve a win-win result.

With my subordinates, like my employees, I can joke around with them and even get along well with them. But if they show any sign of infringing on my interests, I will immediately become ruthless.

Of course, people aren't machines; they have hearts and can be soft-hearted. It's all about how you manage that balance.

Aunt Guo violated my taboo, which is that I don't allow others to speculate about you.

I made it clear: if she had any sense, she should have controlled her words and actions. If she didn't, the only outcome would be for me to replace her.

Qin Xian smiled and said, "Where did you learn that? It makes a lot of sense."

"Parents pass on their experience, and I summarize it based on my own life experience."

"With parental guidance, they can gain insights into what others have accumulated over decades," Qin Xian said.

At least, he never realized it.

Li Yingtang: "Not necessarily. Take Xuanxuan and Brother Ding, for example. They are siblings from the same mother. Brother Ding knows everything, but Xuanxuan doesn't know anything. She thinks about food and drink every day, and where to find pretty clothes. If she doesn't have money, she complains to Brother Ding. When she encounters difficulties, her parents and brothers will solve them."

I told Xuanxuan before that I envied her freedom and carefree life, that she could always be a flower in a greenhouse.

She said she envied my ability to stand on my own.

Perhaps that's human nature; we fantasize about things we don't have.

Qin Xian: “.” Remind him not to blame everything on that person?

Li Yingtang changed the subject: "Shall we go out for a walk?" "There's nothing much to see nearby, how about we go to the movies?"

"Row."

"."

Qin Xian drove Li Yingtang out, and after arriving on the street, they parked the car and drove around the street.

Until the entrance to the movie theater.

After deciding on the movie they wanted to see, the two lined up to buy tickets.

Li Yingtang stood in front of Qin Xian, and after a moment nudged Qin Xian, covering her mouth and whispering, "The man and woman in front of us just met."

Qin Xian glanced at him and asked, "What's your basis?"

Li Yingtang deliberately lowered her voice: "Look at their posture, although the two of them are standing close together, they maintain a certain distance. Moreover, the woman's body is leaning outwards, as if she might leave at any moment. Unlike you and me, who are almost touching."

Qin Xian then realized that there was no distance between her and Li Yingtang: "Perhaps they are reserved."

Li Yingtang: "You're not exactly an open person outside either."

Qin Xian: "Using me as an example is not sufficient as a basis."

“You’re so literary, you want to write a poem? How about we make a bet?” Li Yingtang said.

"What are we betting on?" Qin Xian felt confident that she had nothing she could lose to her.

"I bet you'll serve me tonight." Qin Xian covered Li Yingtang's mouth.

He could tell what she was thinking the moment she opened her mouth.

How can you say such things in broad daylight?

“Okay,” he quickly agreed.

Li Yingtang chuckled to herself, "You can't go back on your word."

"Ah."

After buying the tickets, we entered the movie theater.

The young couple sat in front of them.

Once the movie started, everyone's attention was focused on the movie screen.

Qin Xian was no exception; at that moment, his palms itched.

His gaze shifted and met Li Yingtang's face.

She pointed to the man and woman in front of her and whispered in their ear, "Listen carefully to what the man is saying."

Qin Xian pricked up his ears.

The man said: "My family's financial situation is limited, and I can only offer two hundred yuan as a bride price."

We don't have a new house for the wedding, but we can buy one later when we have the means.

The three gold pieces and other gifts received after the wedding will be used to make up for the lost money.

The requirements for women were that they be clean and able to bear sons.

Tonight, the woman will be tested. If she is unfaithful, she will not be considered as a marriage partner.

The woman remained expressionless and made no comment.

After listening, Qin Xian could understand why Li Yingtang loved listening to gossip; it was quite interesting.

He said, "You are right."

Li Yingtang thought to herself, "I was right all along." "The woman is of such high quality. Judging from her clothes and appearance, her family is much better off than the man's. The man looks like an artifact unearthed from an ancient tomb." Luckily, she was born in the 1980s, twenty years later than her birth year, so these comments didn't attract online criticism.

Qin Xian almost burst out laughing. Cultural relics? How could she be so good at describing things?
It was nearly evening when the movie ended.

Li Yingtang paid special attention to the woman's whereabouts and ran away as soon as he left the movie theater.

The man searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone. After a moment of bewilderment, he stormed off in a huff.

“When he gets home, he’ll definitely say the woman is the problem,” Li Yingtang said.

Qin Xian: "Focus more on me, hmm?"

“Okay,” Li Yingtang agreed.
