Chapter 529 - 529 86 It's Not Easy to Work Lisa Sighs

529: Chapter 86: It’s Not Easy to Work, Lisa Sighs 529: Chapter 86: It’s Not Easy to Work, Lisa Sighs The tranquil lake water itself wasn’t anything special, but combined with the surrounding natural environment, it was a different story.

From Mi’er’s vacation villa window stood the most beautiful scenery in Florida—the picturesque lake surrounded by a quiet forest landscape.

This was a holiday villa community developed around the lake, where each villa was independent and private, affording each resident a peaceful and comfortable experience.

“If you get bored, you could go fishing or boating on the dock, just don’t go swimming in the water, there are crocodiles.”

If you want to swim, there’s a pool in the back, but it hasn’t been maintained for a long time and it doesn’t look too promising.”

After dealing with the cleaning team, Temir found Cheng Daqi, who was smoking in front of the patio railing.

“Will some investors come tomorrow?”

Cheng Daqi wasn’t too concerned about recreational activities here; he was more concerned about his own business.

The black-haired woman rolled her eyes.

She leaned against the railing, resting her hand on Cheng Daqi’s chest.

“Chan, you’re like a spring that never stops winding.

This is supposed to be our lovely vacation time.

Can we talk about work tomorrow?”

Cheng Daqi sighed.

He wanted to stop, but he could no longer afford to.

He was now surrounded by too many people; if he didn’t continue to move forward, the momentum that had just gathered would quickly dissipate.

Mi’er had the resources of the Caramakris Family, which were hers by birthright, and she didn’t understand Cheng Daqi’s urgency.

“Sure, so, what else do you have planned for today?”

Cheng Daqi, focused on replying to emails from Shanhaiguan on his phone, didn’t notice Mi’er’s intense and complex gaze on him.

“I’d like to take a walk with you in the forest, Chan.

Is that okay?”

Damn it, it was just a walk, but in Mi’er’s provocative tone, it sounded like she was suggesting taking Cheng Daqi away for a romp.

“You’re going for a walk?

But the water pipes here are still dripping; this house isn’t fit to live in, Mi’er, we need a professional maintenance team.

Or find a suitable venue, when the investors arrive tomorrow, if they see the state of this house, they would…”

Thank God, the blonde girl gave Cheng Daqi an excuse to refuse.

“Fine, I’ll do the fixing.

It’s just a leak, after all.”

Cheng Daqi was an excellent mechanic, not to mention fixing water pipes; he was even confident to try his hand at fixing a tank placed before him.

“Honey, you don’t seem to be working hard enough lately.

Weren’t you supposed to check out the branch in Miami?

I’ll arrange for a driver to take you there now.”

The black-haired woman was almost gnashing her teeth.

After Cheng Daqi left, her hand that was left hanging in mid-air directly pointed at Lisa.

Unfortunately, Lisa was no longer the Lisa of the past.

She smiled at Temir and replied.

“Sorry, dear Ms.

Temir, I’m no longer your employee.”

“Stop arguing, where’s the toolbox?”

CEO Cheng was afraid the two ladies would start quarreling and escalate the situation.

“I don’t know, you don’t have to fix it, I’ve booked a boat for a lake tour.

Tomorrow I’ll take those people on the boat to talk.

There’s also a golf course nearby; it wouldn’t be bad to chat while playing golf tomorrow, what do you all think?”

The black-haired woman folded her arms across her chest and spoke to Cheng Daqi and Lisa inside the house.

Lisa gave her a glance and shook her head.

She didn’t understand many of Temir’s thought processes.

If you don’t fix it, how can we live with the house constantly leaking water?

Just make do with it?

What’s the point of our visit here then?

“Chan, let’s find it together.”

The beautiful California girl, Lisa, and her plumber set off to work together, leaving the Missouri girl alone outside.

Temir, irritated, hammered the railing, eliciting a pained groan from the sun-bleached, rain-worn wood.

She couldn’t understand intimate relationships, not only could she not figure out Cheng Daqi, but now it seemed she couldn’t even figure out Lisa anymore.

—————–

With powerful waterproof tape, the leaks were fixed; for bulbs that didn’t shine, a concurrent dark wire was threaded, and finally, citric acid descaler bought by Riel and his team solved the issue of the showerhead not being smooth.

Under Lisa’s astonished gaze, Cheng Daqi fixed all the little problems in the vacation house in less than two hours.

After all, the house was not very old, and while being unoccupied had caused some issues, they were all minor and easily fixed.

“Chan, you’re like a superhero.”

Lisa handed him a bottle of mango juice and considerately twisted it open for Cheng Daqi.

After expressing his thanks, Cheng Daqi joined Lisa at the lakeside viewing table, chatting about this and that.

In fact, they were discussing development issues at MAS Florida’s innovation center, but Mi’er didn’t see it that way.

“You two, community staff told me there’s a local event tonight, something like a bonfire party.

Do we want to check it out?”

Regarding Temir’s suggestion, Lisa was indifferent, looking to Cheng Daqi for his opinion.

Cheng Daqi, however, politely declined.

“Nah, I’m a bit tired, Mi’er, let’s pass on it for today.”

First taking a plane to Oakland, then driving here, followed by two hours of repair work had genuinely exhausted CEO Cheng.

“Fine then!”

The same ‘OK,’ but the difference in tone could convey different meanings, and when paired with different body language, the message became even richer.

But Mi’er’s tone and the action of turning away to leave were clearly not usual.

Cheng Daqi and Lisa looked at each other, confused.

“I’ll go and talk to her.”

This time, the blonde woman took the initiative; she felt it was time to have an honest conversation with Mi’er.
