Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Yan Xu Warms Him

The Enlightened Monk said that the baby boy was a blessing to his father, Yan Han, bringing sunshine and warmth to his otherwise cold and melancholy life. Therefore, they named the baby boy "Xu".

In fact, Yan Han has never believed in these beliefs, because his own name was also given by this so-called Enlightened Monk.

In that instance, the idea was that their family name, which meant ’fire,’ was too fiery; so he was given the character "Han" to counterbalance it.

Now, they are naming the baby boy based on his "Han" character. So, should his future child be named "Rain" or "Dew"?

After careful consideration, Yan Han realized that the Enlightened Monk had not named the baby boy "Xu" because of the "Han" character in his name, but because of his cold life. With this explanation, Yan Han could reluctantly accept it.

Besides, this Enlightened Monk at least didn’t go too far as to name the baby boy something ridiculous like "Blazing Fire". Considering this, Yan Han could consider himself lucky!

As for Zhu Qianying, the mother, she was satisfied with the name Yan Xu.

Hence, the baby boy’s name was thus established.

In the Yan Family’s genealogy, "Yan Xu" formally appeared under the column of "great-grandson".

During the few days that Yan Han’s family returned to the old Yan estate, apart from the first day when the whole Yan family gathered together without any disturbances, every subsequent day features different faces appearing in the living room.

These faces, to an ordinary person like Zhu Qianying, were ones you would only see on TV news shows. Yet, all these authoritative figures not only showed respect to Old Master Yan, but also towards Yan Han, herself, and even their baby boy. To her, this all seemed more surreal than the events of New Year’s Eve.

However, she was fully aware that all these events were indeed happening. Zhu Qianying came to regret deciding to return with her baby boy.

Whenever she thought about how she would have to interact with these people due to work or personal matters, Zhu Qianying had throbbing headaches. The notable figures had etched her image as the granddaughter-in-law of the Yan family.

But in this world, there was no medicine for regret. Since she has come back, she had to play her part as a loving wife alongside Yan Han. So much so, that even Zhu Qianying herself almost believed that she and Yan Han were genuinely a model couple.

Freed from the entanglements of Capital City, Zhu Qianying had no time to worry about her relationship with Yan Han. Her job at the jewelry store kept her busy, leaving her no time for sentimental thoughts.

Yan Han officially resumed work upon returning from Capital City.

As for their baby boy, it was officially decided during the Spring Festival that he would skip a grade and go directly to first grade school after the Lantern Festival.

The family quickly transitioned from holiday leisure to the frantic pace of work and study.

As for the rented shop, the design was decided and construction started on the same day. Uncle Hai made sure he was transported by the driver every day to supervise the work. By the day before the Lantern Festival when Chen Jing returned from R City to L City, the shop’s renovation project was already more than halfway done. The shop was expected to be ready within half a month.

Yanhuang Group, which was responsible for leasing, also had a service to help customers with licenses and certificates. As Zhu Qianying didn’t have the time to manage it herself and was not confident about her mother handling it, she decided to pay a processing fee to let the Yanhuang personnel handle it.

While the decoration process was ongoing on one side, the certificate processing started on the other. They began gathering materials for submission. After discussing with her mother, Zhu Qianying decided to name the store "Quiet Private Restaurant". The name is simple, easy to remember, and coincidentally aligns with the phrase "I want to be quiet" from internet memes, signifying profound implications in its simplicity.

After the holidays, life in the Yan family and for Zhu Qianying was back on its usual track.

As for the Zhu and Yi families, who were heavily hit by public opinion and various issues before the Spring Festival, it would probably be impossible to return to their normal track!

On the first day of trading after the Spring Festival holiday, both the Mingxuan Group and the Yi Family Group hit the limit down (the maximum allowed to fall in a single day).

On the morning of the opening market day, many people called Yanhuang Group to try to get a word from Yan Han. By the afternoon, news broke that major banks were urging the Yi Family for repayments one after another.

As for the Mingxuan Group, their situation is not much better than the Yi Family’s. As of the first trading day, the several Mingxuan Hotels in L City that have been sealed are still under investigation.

The police replied to Zhu Zhizhou and his son that there was no compelling evidence at the moment linking the Mingxuan Group to the illegal organization and its illegal gathering.

The current Chairman and President of the Mingxuan Group, Zhu Junwei, was under police surveillance throughout his recovery. Although meeting with his family was allowed, it took place under the watchful eyes of at least two policemen, making any secret communication virtually impossible.

Despite that, Zhu Junwei learned about the downfall of the Yi family from daily television and newspaper reports.

Of course, the reports in the newspapers would not declare that the predicament faced by the Yi family was because they offended, or had a falling out with, the Yan family, leading to a financial crisis. Instead, the reports blamed the Yi family’s two new general managers, Yi Chao and Yi Yang, for mismanagement and poor decision-making, which resulted in financial distress and a series of problems.

However, Zhu Junwei was not a fool. By contemplating the sequence of events following his fainting spell at the meeting, and then slowly thinking for several days, he guessed that his and Yi Wei’s plot against Yan Han was probably exposed early on.

Everything that happened that night, including the events that befell the Mingxuan and Yi families later, was within Yan Han’s control and expectation.

In other words, he and Yi Wei had been counter-ambushed by Yan Han.

The so-called "Illegal Organization" mentioned by the police was linked to him by Yan Han.

During these days, Zhu Junwei laid on his hospital bed, recalling every detail of his interactions with Yan Han.

Each memory that surfaced only intensified his fear.

Looking back, from the moment he tried to get close to Yan Han at the Mingxuan Group’s anniversary cocktail party, Yan Han had already sensed his intentions. Yan Han had started laying out his strategy even earlier and played along step by step to gain his trust.

As Zhu Junwei got closer to Yan Han, he thought he was getting closer to success. Little did he know, each step he took was digging his own grave, bringing him closer to his own demise...
