"Dad, the jasmine flowers are blooming, can I pick two to give to the teacher?"

In the early morning of the new week, Chu Lingze squatted in the garden with a small schoolbag on his back and waited for Chu Xian to drive out. Their garden hired a gardener to take care of it on a regular basis. In addition to a large number of expensive plants and rare varieties of flower branches, there were also plants along the path. A jasmine bush is said to be planted by Chu Xian's special name.

"of course can."

Chu Xian got out of the car and helped Chu Lingze pick out a few fully bloomed flowers,

"Why are you so happy today? I used to be lazy when I was going to school on Monday."

"Because, because Ozawa is about to enter elementary school, you must have the self-motivation of elementary school students!"

Chu Lingze took the little flowers that Chu Xian helped him pick with a smile, and obediently climbed up to the co-pilot to fasten his seat belt.

"Is Jasmine the favorite flower of Daddy?"

"Um,"

Chu Xian thought for a while and added, "Isn't Ozawa his favorite sunflower? You can ask the gardener to open a field to plant some on weekends. Daddy likes sunflowers too."

"My parents like everything Ozawa likes,"

Chu Lingze blinked,

"Except Uncle Shen."

"There are also candied haws. Your parents don't like to eat fruit wrapped in syrup."

Chu Xian took up the conversation naturally,

"I have a meeting on Monday night as usual, and I may come home late. In the evening, Teacher Xiaotao will pick you up. After you finish your homework, you can play with your phone for a while. Send a message to Mommy about what you want to eat, and Mommy will buy it for you when she comes back. "

"No problem, Daddy can work at ease."

Chu Lingze nodded. Teacher Xiaotao was the violin and life teacher that Chu Xian hired for him. When Chu Xian couldn't go home because of work, she would help him cook for Chu Lingze.

After sending Chu Lingze to the kindergarten, Chu Xian went to the bookstore to order a batch of extracurricular books for him before going to the company. The secretaries and supervisors were used to him arriving late on Monday mornings, so they sorted out all the things they had to report to him put it on the table.

"President Chu, you are here,"

The administrative secretary quietly entered Chu Xian's office, smiling mysteriously,

"The front desk has received a lot of couriers for you. I have unpacked all the documents and put them on your desk."

"Why are you smiling so obscenely?"

Chu Xian raised his eyes and gave him a disgusted look.

"Because I also received a lot of flowers this week, red roses, blue roses, and pink roses. We almost have a butterfly nest at the front desk."

"Put it in the flower basket according to the old rules, whoever wants it can take it, do you need me to teach you again?"

"I gave all the roses for courtship to the little girls in the administration department, but this time there is something different. I wonder if I should show it to you?"

"what?"

"Here—this is it."

The secretary handed over a box, and Chu Xian opened it to see that it turned out to be a bouquet of jasmine flower balls. The fragrant green waves held the white sail-like flowers, and the branches were tied together with ribbons so that they could be soaked in water and prolong. flowering period.

"It doesn't look like it would be sold in a flower shop. I didn't dare to handle it myself. Do you want to keep it?"

"It's very fragrant, put it on my table."

Chu Xian asked the secretary to find a glass bottle to fetch some water and bring it over. A card was hung on the flower stem. When Chu Xian tore off the card, he took a second look. This time he saw the big three words on it——Shen Yichi.

"Mr. Chu, may I put a packet of nutrient solution for you? The flowers can bloom longer."

The secretary said that he had torn open a pack of curing agent, and before he had time to pour it in, he heard Chu Xian suddenly change his mind,

"No need, just take it out."

"Huh? Where are you going? You don't want it anymore?"

"You can take it anywhere, if he still insists on sending it to my office every day after a week."

"Hey, no problem!"

The secretary laughed like a prodigy, and finally figured out what Chu Xian was thinking, and happily returned to the work station with the bottle of jasmine. The girl at the next table saw the flower ball in his hand and exclaimed in surprise,

"Wow, what a lovely flower! It's also for Mr. Chu? It's much prettier than that rose. If Mr. Chu doesn't want it, just give it to me?"

"Go, go, go, Mr. Chu only said not to let him in his office, but he didn't say no, you should be careful."

The secretary was good at holding the flower ball, for fear that the flower would be torn apart by a group of hungry little girls.

"What do you mean? Isn't President Chu never accepting flowers? Could it be that there's something wrong? Which god sent this? It's really good, and it's actually favored by our President Chu."

"The card was taken away by Mr. Chu, I didn't see it,"

The secretary shook his head, "I'll take a sneak peek tomorrow. Isn't Mr. Chu on a blind date recently? It must be the right one at last."

Chu Xian, who was being gossipated by the employees, sneezed a few times for no apparent reason, and promptly turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the office. It just so happened that the screen of the mobile phone lit up to remind him of a new message. Chu Xian saw that it was Shen Yichi again, but this time it was not Instead of a text message, it's a cute cat saying "HI".

Chu Xian pressed the lock screen resolutely and started to work. He didn't reply to him until lunch time for the sake of the little cat.

[Perhaps you should know that sending flowers is a popular romance among children. ]

Shen Yichi's status box immediately changed to "The other party is typing...", Chu Xian raised his eyebrows, waiting to see what beautiful words this person could say, but he waited for a full 2 ​​minutes and didn't see half a punctuation from Shen Yichi symbol.

Do you need to be so careful and think twice about chatting with him on WeChat...

Chu Xian snorted lightly, turned off the phone resolutely, determined not to be caught by Shen Yichi, and soon immersed himself in his work, holding regular meetings, meeting with clients, reviewing plans, and after finishing a round of work, Chu Xian went back to work. It was already six o'clock in the evening when he looked up at his phone, he asked Teacher Xiaotao for a call,

"Hello? Mr. Chu?"

"Mr. Xiaotao, did you take Ozawa home? Did you follow the recipe at night? Is he picky?"

"Oh, come home, come home,"

Xiao Tao replied, "Xiao Ze ate a big bowl of rice tonight and drank all the vegetable juice. He is reading a book right now, don't worry."

"Did he say he wanted to eat anything else?"

"Let me ask... Ozawa said that he was full tonight, so he asked you to drive safely when you come back."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Xiaotao. Get off work when you're done. I'll go back early."

"Okay, okay, I'll stay with Ozawa for a while, don't worry."

Xiaotao pressed the phone with a smile, and after confirming that the phone was hung up, Chu Lingze quickly gave her a high-five.

"Thank you, Sister Taozi!"

"Ham, it just so happens that I have something to do at home today, so Ozawa will ask you, Mr. Shen, and I'll go first?"

"You have worked hard."

Shen Yichi sent her out of the entrance. At first Xiaotao was full of vigilance and vigilance when facing the man who came to the door suddenly, but after Chu Lingze's explanation and Shen Yichi's initiative to ask Ying to cook a good meal for them, she believed it. This man is Chu Xian's friend.

"Thank you Uncle Shen for coming to accompany me,"

Chu Lingze patted his swollen stomach, which was fed by Shen Yichi's good craftsmanship, "Ms. Xiao Tao can only accompany me until seven o'clock, but my parents usually don't get fat until nine o'clock. With Uncle Shen in Xiaoze, they won't be fat." Feeling lonely."

"Uncle Shen can only accompany you until 08:30. If your daddy finds out that I came to your house secretly, maybe he will be angry again."

Shen Yichi touched the top of Chu Lingze's head, Chu Lingze nodded obediently,

"By the way, Uncle Shen, Teacher Olympiad has assigned me an innovative problem. Can Uncle Shen help me to see it?"

"OK,"

Shen Yichi washed the last plate and sat down at the dining table, and Chu Lingze sat down next to him with a notebook and pen.

When Chu Xian came back, there was no trace of Shen Yichi left at home, but he instinctively felt a little weird. This feeling lasted for two days, until the third day when he signed Chu Lingze's Olympiad test paper as usual, he took a look. Scanning to a certain innovation question, this little guy actually answered three solutions.

"Chu Lingze, come here,"

Chu Xian hooked his fingers, and Chu Lingze obediently sat down at the small desk,

"Talk about these three ways of thinking to Dad and Mi, and Dad and Mi think that your problem-solving ideas are very powerful."

"OK,"

Chu Lingze took out a pencil and explained his thoughts to Chu Xian while drawing. There was nothing wrong with the first two solutions, and he hesitated for a while until the third solution.

"Hmm... Uncle Shen forgot about Ozawa..."

Chu Lingze blurted out, and after he finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly covered his mouth and opened his eyes wide to look at Chu Xian.

"I mean the teacher. The teacher only said it once, and I didn't understand it."

Chu Xian just smiled lightly,

"It's okay, just remember to ask the teacher for clarification next time in class."

Chu Lingze nodded. It seems that Dad and Mi didn't hear clearly, but fortunately, the kid reacted quickly, hehe!

The next morning, Chu Xian confessed to him that he would have dinner with the boss of another company in the evening. When he returned home late, Chu Lingze quietly invited Shen Yichi again. How to coax parents to be happy, suddenly there was a sound of unlocking the door.

"Dad and Mi always scoff at the routines shown on TV, but he likes watching musicals, and oh, Daddy is actually picky, he only likes to eat fresh fruits, like the ones in candied haws that are coated with icing sugar. I don't like..."

"Crack."

The door was gently pushed open, and Shen Yichi who was secretly "making up lessons" was caught by Chu Xian.

"Have you learned how to cook?"

Chu Xian stood at the door with his hands crossed, looked at Shen Yichi with a cold smile and raised his eyebrows,

"But I want to correct Mr. Ozawa. I just don't like to eat fruit sealed in candied haws. I can accept dried fruit."

"Father, Daddy, why did you gain weight so early..."

Chu Lingze was so frightened that he almost rolled off the sofa, he scratched his little head guiltily,

"I'm sorry, Daddy, Ozawa didn't want to be alone at home, so he quietly contacted Uncle Shen..."

"Don't rush to admit your mistake,"

Chu Xian said and pointed to Shen Yichi, "Come here."

Shen Yichi naturally stood over obediently,

"Thank you Teacher Chu for the additional knowledge points, I will keep them firmly in my heart"

"I hope you are not a rotten tree."

Chu Xian grabbed Shen Yichi's hand and slammed his finger on the door lock, only to hear a ding dong, and the fingerprint lock showed that the new fingerprint was registered successfully.

"...?"

Shen Yichi looked at Chu Xian and blinked, not knowing what to say for a while.

"It just so happens that Teacher Xiaotao wants to start preparing for pregnancy. From now on, you will be Chu Lingze's trustee teacher and Olympiad teacher. I remember that the TV station gets off work at 05:30, right? Your part-time job starts at 06:30 and ends at 09:30. According to the market's highest The price is based on an hourly salary, and late arrival and early departure are not allowed, but they are not allowed to visit my house at other times."

After Chu Xian finished speaking, he let go of Shen Yichi's wrist, "I will draw up the contract tomorrow, and come to sign it at night."

Hearing the sound, Chu Lingze hurried over with bare feet and hugged Chu Xian's thigh,

"Then, what about Ozawa's previous Mathematics Olympiad teacher?"

"I thought he was not good enough for a long time. He doesn't know the third solution of your Uncle Shen. He was worried that he didn't have time to interview a new teacher for you. I didn't expect that one of them would come to you."

"It was delivered to your door." Shen Yichi sighed, he has no experience in teaching Mathematical Olympiad, but Chu Lingze has a strong comprehension, and he usually has a free time at work, so he just takes time to prepare lessons.

"It will be 09:30 soon, please remember to get off work on time."

As Chu Xian spoke, he opened the door for Shen Yichi, and almost drove him away.

After sending Shen Yichi away, Chu Lingze smiled and pulled Chu Xian to sit on the sofa to beat his back.

"I thought Daddy wouldn't let Uncle Shen into our house again."

"If he doesn't teach well, I will replace him immediately."

Chu Xian tapped Chu Lingze's forehead. Most of the decisions he made were based on whether he could make a profit. Hiring Shen Yichi during this period of time can make Ozawa happy, and can also urge Ozawa to study. To facilitate his work, the most important thing is that even if Shen Yichi enters the house, Shen Yichi has to leave at 09:30, which has almost no impact on his original life.

Chu Xian's little abacus was buzzing, but he didn't expect that when he returned home the next day, his little abacus was shaken by the smell of rice in the kitchen.

"came back?"

I saw Shen Yichi walking out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of steaming fried noodles with poached eggs.
