Chapter 139 Being a Guest

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang took their old neighbor and his wife off the subway and walked less than a kilometer to the door of the community where they lived.

"Our family lives here." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong said to her elder sisters, "How is it?"

"This...is your community?" Ms. Lin Ying looked around in surprise, "I thought it was a park."

"Is this house quite expensive?" Mr. Li Tingyao asked.

"Not bad." Mr. Qi Zhiguang nodded reservedly.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong added: "This place is too remote, and it was not expensive at that time."

It was indeed not expensive. When Qi Min bought the house, Brainoid Company had not yet started to make profits, so she did not dare to borrow too much money in her own name. At that time, no one knew that brainoids could achieve such great success. Who in the right mind would dare to borrow so much money to buy a house?

"You guys are living a good retirement life." Mr. Li Tingyao said with some envy, "This place is a bit remote, but it's very convenient to take the subway."

A group of four people walked to the fence gate of the front yard garden as they spoke. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong opened the door and walked around a bush of cherries that had not been trimmed much. There was a narrow stone path leading to the door of the house. The lawns on both sides of the stone path didn't look like they had been much repaired.

However, the house is quite beautiful, like what the public calls a "European-style villa", but in fact it is just a modern style common in middle-class residences. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang invited their old neighbor and his wife to come in. Inside the door was a foyer for changing shoes and hanging coats. Ms. Lin Ying and Mr. Li Tingyao changed their slippers and couldn't help but praise the size of the house.

This was usually when Anton came back to catch up on his sleep after seeing off Mimi. The old couple did not call him, but just led Ms. Lin Ying and Mr. Li Tingyao inside, and happened to see Anton sleeping on the sofa in the living room. We passed by and there was a TV on the opposite side.

"Why don't you go back to sleep, kid?" Mr. Qi Zhiguang couldn't help but muttered.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong, who was next to her, had not turned around yet and responded casually: "What's wrong?"

She didn't lower her volume, and even though she was far away, she woke up Anton, who had just fallen asleep.

So Ms. Lin Ying and Mr. Li Tingyao watched a young man wearing dark blue home clothes with very smooth long curly hair stand up from the sofa and walk this way. They were surprised that he did not seem to be a pure Han Chinese. I have to admit that this kid... looks really good-looking.

No wonder their old neighbor treasured his son so much. But Ms. Lin Ying still feels that even so, she can't suck her daughter's blood, right?

Seeing Anton coming over with a confused look on his face, Mr. Qi Zhiguang immediately introduced Ms. Lin Ying and Mr. Li Tingyao. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong asked him, "Hey, why don't you go back to the house and sleep?"

"No, I just wanted to watch TV for a while." Anton replied, walking to the kitchen to pour tea for the guests.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong asked again: "Where is Lele?"

She called Qi Min "Lele", and Anton followed her by calling her by her nickname: "Lele is still asleep."

"Oh, I think she is soaking in brainoids again." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong shook her head. After graduating from Qi Min High School, she was quite critical of her daughter's work and rest habits.

"No way, he probably hasn't woken up yet." Although he didn't quite understand the relationship between this old couple and Qi Min, Anton still tried to maintain Qi Min's image in front of the guests.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang took the old neighbor and his wife to sit down. Anton went to make Pu'er and brought it over with the jujube cake.

"Son, you go back to sleep." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong patted him, "Let's sit here for a while."

Anton never got involved in the social life of the old couple, but just as he was about to go upstairs, he saw the door to the bedroom on the second floor opened, and Qi Min walked down holding on to the handrail while arranging her wet and messy hair.

She happened to see Ms. Lin Ying and Mr. Li Tingyao sitting in the living room downstairs, and was a little surprised: "Hey, Aunt Lin? Uncle Li? Why are you here suddenly..."

"Hey, Lele!" Ms. Lin Ying was very kind to her, "It's still the same as before."

Qi Min twirled his hair, walked down the stairs, and casually gave Anton a high-five as a greeting.

She walked to the sofa and picked up a piece of jujube cake to eat, but Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong stopped her: "Hey, have you brushed your teeth?"

"Brush it, of course." Although Qi Min said it, he put the jujube paste cake back.

In fact, she suddenly realized that she had been working overtime in the brain-like body for so long that it affected the central perception of the digestive system. The sweet taste of jujube cake is now so disgusting to her.

Anton also realized this, so he took the warm water bottle on the coffee table and poured her a small half cup of boiled water.

Qi Min took it over and took a sip, feeling that his digestive system had calmed down a little. He said by the way: "Just now in the brain-like body, that boy Wang Mingqing invited me to dinner. Although the store is a self-service, The dim sum was pretty good.”

"Hey, you girl, you wake up early in the morning and play games." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong patted her.

"I've only been here for a while." Qi Min defended casually and continued to drink boiled water from the cup, "Uncle Li, Aunt Lin, why did you come here suddenly?"

"I met him at the Millennium Monument." Mr. Qi Zhiguang explained, "I just happened to come here to get some coupons for New Year's goods."

"Oh... why don't you stay for dinner?" Qi Min asked.

"Aren't you going to work?" Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong asked her daughter.

This gave Qi Min something to complain about: "Oh... I don't want to go to work... I quit..."

Ms. Lin Ying and Mr. Li Tingyao watched in surprise as she walked from the sofa to the floor-to-ceiling window, muttering: "I can't stand it anymore... I must resign... Even if I drink northwest wind... I don't want to work overtime anymore." …”

Normally, in this kind of situation, one must persuade someone not to resign. Ms. Lin Ying waited for her elder sisters to speak, but it was Anton who said first: "I'm really tired... If not, then don't do it."

In fact, for a company as large as Brainoid Company, it is normal for major shareholders not to hold senior management positions. Qi Min, as the major shareholder of one-third of the shares, is also the CTO and is even doing specific research and development. Although he is fully responsible for his own inventions, in the final analysis, it is not necessary.

But after listening to Anton's advice to quit, Qi Min still said: "If I really quit, are we really going to drink the northwest wind?"

"Not that much." Anton pointed out this objective fact.

If Qi Min had taken less care of things, Brainoid Company would have just maintained its current status, and shareholders would have received plenty. And if the brain-like body company does not build a new supercomputer cluster, maybe her income will increase significantly instead of being equivalent to a CTO salary as it is now.

Qi Min realized that he was pretending too much, and complained about having a headache from working overtime and walked back to sit down.

Then, which was very inconsistent with the persona she created of "if you don't work, you will drink the northwest wind", Anton asked again: "By the way, when will you buy a new car?"
