Bab 126: Outdoor
Tea was normally served after having lunch. Han Meixiu was getting ready to receive tasks from Liu Zijian while she was leisurely enjoying her drink.
Although half of her mind was actually looking forward for the outdoor training tomorrow, half of it was actually worried.
The young man took a folder and handed it to the young woman sitting on the sofa while holding her cup of tea.
"You can read this file anytime you feel like doing so." Liu Zijian said. There was actually not much to do as of the moment. But he was thinking of 'introducing' some basic tasks to his wife as he clearly saw the enthusiasm she exhibited earlier.
When he was examining the reports from LCG, Han Meixiu couldn't stop herself from taking a peek from time to time which gave him an impression that she wanted to help with it but instead of asking she was hesitating.
It wouldn't hurt if he would give her some menial task for the mean time since Ye Ming was busy.
As for the hotel's related work, it's not really much as the General Managers would oversee the operations. Only if it's beyond their job description, the issue would be escalated to him.
Mixed with those reports from the hotel are the information gathered by LCG people implanted in different departments. Those information were actually directly submitted to him but Ye Ming usually scanned what would be relevant before passing to him the summary.
For now, he wanted to try if Han Meixiu could do the job meant for Ye Ming. Thus, he gave her the folder.
Questions were written all over her face as she opened the folder.
The information were mostly names. If she's not mistaken they're actually from the prominent families in Q City as she's familiar with some.
"Should I organize these?" Han Meixiu finally asked.
"Familiarize yourself first with those people. Then you can filter which information would be relevant." Liu Zijian simply answered.
"Aren't these for LCG?"
"En."
"I..I..can…read them?" Han Meixiu never thought she could actually start 'working' as soon as possible. Even though it might be menial task it's still an important step.
Liu Zijian squatted in front of the young woman and gently lifted her face using his fore finger.
"I need some help. You're helping me, right?"
"Of course!" She immediately answered as a soft smile slowly blossomed on her face.
A quick kiss followed and before she could react, Liu Zijian already went back to his seat.
That afternoon was the first time Han Meixiu didn't give importance to her favorite tea. She was immersed intensively to what Liu Zijian asked her to do.
Han Meixiu didn't notice that she's been immersing herself in those bunch of data for couple of hours. She even skipped the offered snacks.
It wasn't until Liu Zijian spoke that she was able to pull herself out of what she's doing. Though there was a little hesitation on her part, she still removed her attention out of those files.
"That would be enough for today." His gentle voice echoed around Han Meixiu making the young woman realize that he's just sitting near her.
It was just too interesting. Although she's not sure if what she did was correct and up to Liu Zijian's standard, she was still feeling accomplished.
"Would there be another day I can do this again?" She asked.
"Sure. If you're free again." He simply answered and took the folder from her hands.
"Ready for tomorrow?" He continued.
Han Meixiu nodded while her eyes followed the folder as Liu Zijian placed it on the coffee table. Her mind was still lingering on the remaining information she wasn't able to finish categorizing.
"I just hope the activities won't be too much tiring." She murmured. She's fully aware that it's her weakness. Although she already improved her stamina a bit, she knew she would still be far behind from the people who have been training almost all their lives.
"You can pull it through." Liu Zijian normally wanted to say that she could skip it but it wouldn't be good for her. "Do you want to skip it?" He tried to ask.
"No." Han Meixiu decisively answered. "I have to do it. Besides, even though I'm worried that I might be dead tired after, I'm still curious to know my limit." She continued without looking to the young man who was clearly pleased with her answer.
"I'll pick you up after." He warmly said and moved his arms to enclose the young woman in his embrace.
"Do you normally go to this kind of training?" Han Meixiu asked while allowing her self be cuddled.
"No. But I can make an exception."
"Zijian, let's just meet somewhere. It would be too obvious if suddenly you'll show up. Also, what if the others would feel intimidated by your presence?"
"That's not my problem." He nonchalantly answered.
Han Meixiu chuckled.
Right.
Why would he worry about other people's feelings? If the other trainees would be intimidated by him, then they're not worth to be part of LCG.
"Okay, but can you come after everyone left?"
"Alright."

The late summer sun was still scorching hot as if it wanted to fry them alive.
Having an extra layer of skin and hair made Han Meixiu even more uncomfortable. She wanted to curse herself from having a ridiculous idea of disguising.
But since she already started she should persevere until the end.
Today, the activities were actually almost non-stop.
She already memorized the schedule for today thus she's aware what would they do next.
She kept on pep-talking herself to strive for the best as they went on the day.
Like what she expected, she wasn't as tireless as the other trainees. In fact, she's actually the one lagging behind.
She wanted to roll on the ground and play dead but of course she couldn't let those people who invited her to join LCG down.
When the last segment of the day's training ended, Han Meixiu almost couldn't move her four limbs.
She sat on the resting area near the entrance while her thoughts were thinking about a hot bath and a good massage. It was a good thing that tomorrow's a free day.
Since Liu Zijian would pick her up a little later, she still has time to rest. She closed her eyes as she leaned on the pole near her seat. She wanted only to nap for about few minutes.
But she was clearly mistaken.
