Forced by Li Cheng’s authority, Li Sinian continued to be a social animal the next day.

At 6:30 am, Li Sinian woke up on time to go for his morning run. When he came downstairs, Auntie Zhang was preparing breakfast. He had to go to work at nine o’clock in the morning, and he had to exercise and come back and take a shower, so he was afraid that it would be too late for him to make breakfast, so he gave up.

Luckily, Auntie Zhang’s cooking was also quite healthy, and the breakfast was a seafood congee, which was nutritious, high in calories and low in grease, and very friendly to him, a future stomach cancer patient.

After coming back from the run and taking a shower, it was 7:30, just in time to eat. Li Wenxing had just gotten up and was still confused. When he saw Li Sinian, he raised his hand and greeted him with a breathless voice, “Good morning, brother.”

Li Sinian replied indifferently, “Good morning.”

As he ate his breakfast, he woke up and Li Wenxing asked, “Brother, are you going to work today? It’s almost eight o’clock and you’re still at home, it’s not like you.”

In his previous life, he worked hard to prove himself, every morning, as soon as he opened his eyes, he went straight to the company, and was busy eating only one meal a day.

That was how the downfall of his last life began and in this life, he certainly could not continue to be so stupid.

“I need to eat breakfast at home.” Li Sinian lightly replied, “My previous way of life was too unhealthy. For the sake of my body, I think a change is necessary.”

After yesterday’s shock, Li Wenxing was not so shocked anymore. He nodded vigorously, “Brother, you thinking like this is the best. You used to be so desperate, I was afraid to look at you.”

Li Sinian smiled lightly and did not speak again. Next, he went on to prove with his actions how much he really wanted to improve this unhealthy lifestyle. After breakfast, around ten minutes after 8:00, Li Sinian rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen to prepare his lunch.

The lunch was his own, so he kept it simple, with two dishes and one soup.

Two dishes and one soup: Braised Beef Brisket with Tomatoes¹, cold soft tofu ², and lao soup³

Waiting for the beef brisket stew, he also made himself a cup of hawthorn goji berry tea. ⁴Hawthorn was slightly sour, goji berry was slightly sweet, and then adding a little sugar made the room temperature drink like a sweet and sour drink.

Delicious, the focus was on health.

When lunch was ready, it was already 9:30, so Li Sinian packed his lunchbox and left the house without delay. The office was not far from home, only ten minutes on the road, but he was half an hour late leaving and still arrived forty minutes late.

The receptionist at the office watched Li Sinian walk in, looked at his watch incredulously, then looked at him, then looked down at his watch again and confirmed that the workaholic young master had arrived at 9:40, and his mouth dropped open. He hastily picked up his phone and sent a message in the small group of employees’ private chat.

[Report – the sun is coming out of the west! Vice President Li actually arrived at the company at nine forty!]

As soon as the message was answered, someone immediately replied to the message.

[What? Vice President Li, is it the same Vice President Li that I thought?]

[Which Vice President of our company other than Li Sinian, it must be him!]

[How can a workaholic be late? But he’s so late, President Li will be angry, right?]

[He’s already angry, President Li waited for 20 minutes for a meeting this morning, and he didn’t answer the phone.]

[Alas, the rich generation is not easy, look at the Vice President who has worked so hard every day, and who knows how many Li family shares can enter his hands.]

[That’s right, everyone understands.]

Li Sinian first went to the office to put down the lunchbox, and then slowly and leisurely looked up the work schedule for today.

9:10, meeting.

Li Sinian, “…”

Ah, how exciting, missing an important meeting on the first day by punching in late. Li Sinian took the papers and went to the conference room. When he arrived, the long table was already full of people on both sides.

The meeting was in progress, and a young woman in a suit was speaking at length below the projector. Hearing the movement at the door, everyone turned around and looked at Li Sinian standing at the door.

Li Sinian was not the least bit embarrassed about being late, he smiled slightly, said sorry, and then headed for the only empty seat. His seat was next to Li Cheng, and Li Cheng was glaring at him from the doorway but not from his seat, his eyes were almost glazed over.

Li Sinian was indifferent. After sitting down, he slowly and methodically opened the thermos containing goji berry and hawthorn tea, leisurely sipping before opening the folder.

Li Cheng, “…” Why does he have the feeling that his son was already half a century old?

Li Sinian casually scanned the file, looked up, saw everyone still staring at him, and reminded, “Continue, everyone.”

This call brought the crowd back to their senses, and everyone suppressed their doubts and continued to look down at the documents in front of them, while the female employee in front of them also started to continue with what she had not finished talking about.

If it was before, Li Sinian would have taken notes and analyzed the meeting carefully.

Now…

He found it all boring. He wanted to sleep, but sleep was too obvious, so he quietly took out his phone and opened Weibo.

It was good to eat melons for a while.

The first Weibo hot search was business news, to be precise, luxury gossip.

The leading company in HaiCheng, run by the Jiang family, had recently recovered the young master who was forgotten. This young master was born by the youngest daughter of Jiang Chengen, the chairman of Jiang Group. It was said that this Miss Jiang had left home for love, but was cheated by the scum and was actually a mistress, died of disease outside, and the young master also became an illegitimate child. He was a foster child and was only recently recovered by the Jiang family.

Yoo-hoo, a big melon.

The family feud was really more exciting than other dramas.

Li Sinian finished reading the news with great interest, put down his phone and looked up, but found everyone was staring at him again. He blinked, “What’s wrong?”

Secretary Chen coughed lightly, “That, Vice President, do you have any opinions or comments on this proposal?”

Li Sinian turned his head to look at the PowerPoint and smiled faintly, “No opinion, I think it’s great.”

Not only this proposal, but every proposal after that, Li Sinian, after being asked, always replied with this sentence. “No comment, I think it’s good.”

Li Cheng’s face was turned into a pig’s liver color.

The meeting ended at 11:30 and Li Sinian left together with the crowd.

It was time to eat, he had been in a meeting all morning and was so hungry, it was time to go eat lunch. Before he could take two steps, Li Sinian heard Li Cheng’s angry voice behind him, “Li Sinian! You come here!”

Li Sinian’s footsteps stopped and he looked back at him, “Where to?”

Li Cheng choked and looked even angrier, “Where did you say you were going? Come to my office!”

“No,” Li Sinian raised his hand and looked at the time, “It’s almost twelve o’clock, it’s time for lunch break, I want to eat first, why don’t we talk about work matters after we finish eating? It happens that your mood doesn’t look too good at the moment, so let’s talk about it after lunch when your anger has almost subsided. Don’t work with emotions.”

After saying that, Li Sinian turned around and walked towards his office, happily running to his lunchbox.

Li Cheng watched his back behind him, angry and seeing black in front of his eyes.
