Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Will you still serve food?

"Ah Jing, good morning!"

Luo Yifan got into the car, casually greeting Chen Jing.

"Mr. Luo, good morning."

Chen Jing’s address made Luo Yifan raise his eyebrows, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. His inquiring gaze wandered around her face for a few rounds.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Chen Jing’s face flushed slightly, a little afraid to meet his gaze.

"Well, I slept fine..."

Luo Yifan then didn’t ask anything else about last night, nor did he bring up the bet.

He gave Chen Jing an illusion, as though the Luo Yifan who made the bet and the one who listened to her talk last night were two different people.

She thought he would always pretend to have amnesia.

However, when Chen Jing was categorizing and placing the purchases in the refrigerator and storage cabinet, she suddenly heard Luo Yifan from behind.

"Ah Jing, I’m sorry!"

Chen Jing was slightly startled and turned her head to look at him.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pressure you."

"I waited for your call all day yesterday, and in addition to seeing all the rumors about Mingxuan Group at noon, I was a bit worried about you. So, I called you. If you think it’s better for us not to meet for the time being, I’ll leave in a bit, and then reappear when you’ve thought it through."

Luo Yifan’s expression was calm, but Chen Jing saw some trepidation in his eyes, something she thought she’d never see in such excellent people.

In matters of feelings, the first to take it seriously is the one who loses.

"No need. If you have time, accompany me to the wholesale market tomorrow. However, I really need to think it through properly, and you should too."

A touch of surprise flashed in Luo Yifan’s eyes, "Will you still have meals then?"

Chen Jing smiled and nodded, "Yes, just remember to pay the bill, Mr. Luo."

Luo Yifan wanted to ask if he could provide for her for a lifetime, but he held back, as he had just promised not to pressure her!

...

As for the Mingxuan Group, which had caused Chen Jing a day of depression, the return of the rightful general manager, Zhu Junwei, made the whereabouts of temporary general manager Zhu Haoming an issue.

Originally, Zhu Haoming had not held a position at the Mingxuan Group for several years. Now, his staying or leaving had become an awkward issue.

When he was asked to return as the acting general manager, it was the board of directors who had insisted. Now, Zhu Junwei had left the difficult issue to the board.

"Third brother, I never thought about coming back to grab anything. Now that you’re back, I’ll just leave. There’s no need to arrange any position for me."

As soon as Zhu Haoming spoke, he expressed his wishes. Honestly, if it weren’t for the urging from his mother, mother-in-law, and wife, he wouldn’t want to set foot in this murky water at Mingxuan.

He understood better than anyone the fact that what he could gain from the Song family now was far more than what he could gain from the Zhu family.

Firstly, though his surname was Zhu, he was born out of wedlock. The extent of his inheritance from the Zhu family would be uncertain, or worst-case scenario, he might not get a penny.

But Song Lu was Song Zhicheng’s only daughter. After Song Zhicheng stepped down, the Song family would sooner or later be his, even if the child had the surname Song instead of Zhu.

But what does that matter? What could the Zhu surname really give him? Apart from embarrassment and restraint, he couldn’t think of anything else.

Like now, he was showing extreme restraint.

Since he knew that he didn’t have Zhu Junwei’s scheming and intelligence, so he didn’t even have the interest or mind to accompany him in his games.

In Zhu Haoming’s view, instead of wasting energy fighting with Zhu Junwei, it would be more practical to find a way to coax his father-in-law into giving up his real power earlier.

But Zhu Junwei was the type to hold grudges. How could he let Zhu Haoming off the hook that easily?

Even though Zhu Haoming was just a pawn in this whole ordeal, in Zhu Junwei’s view, without Zhu Haoming’s cooperation, yesterday’s drama of a takeover couldn’t have been staged.

Thankfully, he appeared just in time. Otherwise, once Zhu Haoming found his footing, it would be difficult for him to reclaim his position as general manager.

At this time, Zhu Junwei didn’t have the energy to think about why, after being detained for such a long time, he would suddenly be released.

Wasn’t the timing too coincidental?

"That won’t do, Haoming. After all, you are also dad’s son. Even though you are not born of the same mother as me, we are still brothers. Don’t you have a responsibility towards Mingxuan too?"

Zhu Haoming had a bad feeling, and then he heard Zhu Junwei say to the board members.

"I propose a suggestion, we all vote. My eldest brother is now in this state, his position is temporarily vacant. I suggest Haoming fills in."

Zhu Haoming’s heart sank. The original position of Zhu Junzhao was a typical scapegoat position. Not only was it burdensome and thankless, but it could also easily attract trouble. Zhu Junzhao was the best example.

"Third brother, my wife is about to give birth, and the things on her side naturally need me to bear more. Where have I got so much energy? Since you’re back, just hand Mingxuan back to you."

Zhu Haoming now wanted to leave this place of dispute instantly.

But his foot had been wetted by this muddy water, it was impossible for Zhu Junwei to let him leave unharmed.

"Haoming, the Song family is just your wife’s home, the Zhu family is your home. Are you saying that you won’t help your family, but you’re willing to help outsiders?"

In the end, Zhu Haoming got stuck riding a tiger. The board of directors and Zhu Junwei unanimously elected him, Zhu Haoming, as the new general manager of the Mingxuan Group.

In the afternoon, the Mingxuan Group announced this news on its official website. Zhu Qianying saw it, but didn’t say anything, because the result was within her expectations.

Uninformed people probably think the Zhu brothers are joining hands to create a new glory for Mingxuan. However, those who are familiar with Zhu Junwei and some discerning people can see the danger and plot in this.

Zhu Qianying was delayed in the jewelry store today, so she asked Yan Less to pick up the baby boy and Xiaolu.

Yan Less finished work early, first picked up his son, and then went to the restaurant to pick up Xiaolu.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Luo Yifan playing Ludo with Xiaolu.

"Mr. Luo! Hello!" Yan Less, the eldest young master, was unusually polite to this man who might become his father-in-law.

Of course, this was not because of Luo Yifan’s background or anything else.

It was because Yan Less didn’t want to ruin the image Zhu Qianying should have in Luo Yifan’s heart as a younger generation because of him.

"Mr. Yan!" Luo Yifan smiled and nodded at him.

The two had known each other for many years, but they didn’t have much interaction.

Neither of them thought they would one day be tied together in this relationship.

"Please take care of me in the future," Luo Yifan said.

Whether it referred to business or private matters.

Or both.

"Mr. Luo is being too formal. If there’s anything you need, just say it. If you say ’take care’, it feels distant," Yan Less responded.

Luo Yifan could still sit here chatting and drinking tea, it must mean that he had made significant progress with his mother-in-law.
