Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Not laughing, should I cry?

The decision to take a vacation at the beach on Friday was thus settled.

When Chen Jing returned from the restaurant, Zhu Qianying asked her if she wanted to join them for a day or two on Friday. After all, under Chen Jing’s guidance, the two chefs could already make some decent dishes. They should be able to handle a day without her.

But Chen Jing shook her head in refusal, "It’s not right to do that. Most of the customers come for my cooking and if I’m not there, it might feel like we’re deceiving them."

Zhu Qianying knew that her mother’s success was not easy, and so, she placed great importance on the reputation and customer base of the restaurant.

Since she knew this, she didn’t insist any further.

Young Yan thought about the situation carefully, "Mom, we won’t be their on Saturday and Sunday, you may be too busy. I will have Uncle Hai arrange for two or three people to assist you and help you cater to the customers."

Initially, Zhu Qianying was worried that her mother would be too busy without her and Bai Shao around. But with this arrangement made by Young Yan, she had no worries whatsoever.

...

After returning from Capital City, the rumors about Yanhuang Group withdrawing from the bid were getting more ridiculous. Even Xiao Yu didn’t know where she got the news from and specifically called Zhu Qianying to ask about it.

"Sister, does your brother-in-law need Ji Huan’s help?"

Zhu Qianyu had heard a lot of things about Young Yan from Chen Jing recently and her impression of him had improved significantly. Without realizing it, she started to call him brother-in-law.

At first, this address annoyed Zhu Qianying, but after hearing it a few times, whether she became numb or accustomed to it, she didn’t bother to correct it anymore.

"No need, don’t worry about such things. Just focus on taking care of your pregnancy. Little boy is looking forward to becoming a big brother every day!"

Regarding the conflict between the Yanhuang Group and Yi Wang Real Estate, Zhu Qianying, who was one of the few who knew the inside story, was not in a position to reveal it.

"Maybe, I should still tell Ji Huan," Zhu Qianyu still looked worried.

"Silly girl, don’t you think that if Young Yan really needed help, wouldn’t he talk to Ji Huan himself? In the face of survival, face and pride don’t matter, understand?"

With Zhu Qianying’s explanation, Zhu Qianyu finally stopped saying anything. She just asked Zhu Qianying if she had time to come and accompany her.

Zhu Qianying was always indulgent towards her younger sister. Knowing how anxious Ji Huan was and keeping Zhu Qianyu confined at home, she was indeed quite pitiful.

"Next week, I’ll come over with baby boy and keep you company."

Thinking of it, Ji Huan was indeed a good man, but being overly anxious wasn’t good either, was it?

"Would mom come with you?"

On this point, Zhu Qianying couldn’t answer her. After all, the importance of the private restaurant to mom was unmatched in her eyes.

"You ask mom yourself!"

Anyway, every night after her mom finishes cooking and takes a bath, she would definitely call her younger sister. So she left the question about whether or not to accompany her sister to be answered by her mom herself.

In the end, Chen Jing even agreed to spend a day with Zhu Qianyu next Saturday.

It seemed that in Chen Jing’s mind, her daughter was always the most important after all.

This made Zhu Qianying very relieved.

Even Zhu Qianyu who lived in R City and was kept confined by Ji Huan and out of touch with the outside world had heard rumors. Thus, Young Yan in L City, naturally received many "concerned" calls every day.

Of course, those who called were less concerned about the Yanhuang Group or about Young Yan, and more about their own future and benefits.

The day after returning from Capital City, Young Yan received at least five or six similar "caring" calls in the span of an hour-long meeting.

Qin Xiu, who was sitting next to him, could guess the gist of the conversations even without hearing the other party’s words, just from seeing Young Yan’s responses.

It was only when everyone else had left, that Qin Xiu finally broached the subject.

"Master, is everything really going to be okay like this?"

Qin Xiu watched Young Yan worriedly, seeming to have lost confidence in the future of Yanhuang like even his special assistant had.

The apocalyptic demeanor of Qin Xiu made Young Yan quite amused, but he still remained poker-faced.

"What if there is a problem? Are you planning on selling yourself to save the company?"

Sometimes, Qin Xiu would be driven crazy by his master’s indifferent attitude. Right now was one of those times.

"Master, it’s high time now. The public bidding is on Friday and you can still laugh!"

Now, it’s just rumors. If Yi Wang Real Estate succeeds in the bid, Yanhuang’s face would take quite the hit.

Young Yan casually drummed his fingers on the desk, giving Qin Xiu a sidelong look, "If not laugh, then should I cry?"

Sometimes, Qin Xiu really admired his master’s psychological strength.

But who needs extreme psychological resilience when there’s an opportunity to turn defeat into victory? It’s more important to strive for it at all costs, right?

"Master, when you were in the Capital City, why didn’t you mention this to your grandfather or uncle?"

Qin Xiu believed that with Yan Family’s power, not to mention defeating Yi Wang Real Estate, even if they wanted them dead, it would only take a snap of their fingers.

Naturally, this was just a metaphor. The old Yan family in Capital City had always been highly respected among the people. That’s why they had been able to hold power for three generations in a row.

Qin Xiu’s words earned him a disdainful glance from Young Yan.

"Xiu Qin, I’m not a child. It’s embarrassing enough to lose without running home tattling to my elders. Not even our baby boy would do such a thing."

Indeed, since the boy started school, they’d never heard him complain about being bullied at school.

Young Yan had no idea that his precious son, the youngest in his class, had become a bit of a leader in class due to his higher IQ and EQ.

Not just in his own class, practically the entire grade wouldn’t dare to underestimate young Yan Xu.

Perhaps this was what they meant by the phrase ’like father, like son’. Having a firm father like Young Yan gave rise to a son with a strong personality.

Young Yan’s words left Qin Xiu speechless. Knowing that it was pointless to continue arguing, he gave up and decided to hold his tongue.

Since returning from Capital City, Young Yan had been so busy for two days running that he did not even go home. The little boy was taken back to Zhu Qianying’s place by the driver both days.

That night, Bai Shao took Bai Xiaolu and Bai Xiangdong to visit Bai Xiangdong’s parents, who were also Bai Shao’s grandparents. The little boy feeling bored and upon finding out that his dad was eating takeout in the company, kept pestering that he wanted to bring dinner for his father.

Zhu Qianying couldn’t argue with the little boy. She had to pack meals for four people and asked the driver to take them to the Yanhuang Group.

To surprise Young Yan, Zhu Qianying only called Qin Xiu beforehand. So when Young Yan heard a knock on the door and said "Come in" without raising his head, he continued with his work.
