Chapter 650: Chapter 650: What is the Best for You
The agreement between Yan Shao and Cheng Ye took Zhu Qianying by surprise but left her incredibly excited.
After hanging up the phone, she was so excited that she ran a few laps around the garden.
The two naughty boys playing in the garden, upon seeing her breeze past like the wind, considered it normal for Zhu Qianying. But Xiaolu was a bit scared!
"Son, what happened to your mommy?"
Son, with a casual look, responded, "Don’t mind her, she’s probably seeking inspiration!"
Xiaolu was very surprised and also very concerned.
"Really? Everything is fine?"
The son patted her shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, everything is fine!"
He knows his mother too well. In the past, mommy used to participate in challenging adventure sports with some groups from time to time, saying they stimulated her inspiration.
However, ever since she returned to the country, let alone extreme sports, she rarely takes part in regular exercises.
In this case, he only thought that mommy had wanted to vent her pent-up frustration for a long time, completely unaware that she was actually too happy and excited.
When Zhu Qianying returned to where they were after running two laps in the garden, panting, one little boy had water and the other a towel waiting for her.
"Mommy, let’s go out for dinner tonight!"
Zhu Qianying took the towel from her son’s hand, wiped her sweat, and looked at him sidelong.
"Why? Want a change of taste?"
Both boys chimed in together, "No, we just don’t want you to work too hard!"
The two little guys with a serious look were too cute, which made Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but laugh.
"Silly, it’s only cooking, it’s not that hard. Alright, you two are so nice, just tell me what you want to eat tonight, I’ll cook it."
Zhu Qianying spoke, accepting the water handed to her by Xiaolu and gulping down a few mouthfuls.
Son was scrutinizing her intently, "Mommy, are you sure you’re okay?"
At first, he genuinely believed that nothing was wrong with Mommy. However, after hearing Xiaolu muttering a few times, he began to wonder if something was indeed amiss with Mommy.
Most children’s concerns can be attributed to being unhappy. Now that Mommy seemed unhappy, she needn’t cook dinner at home.
As for the suggestion of going out to eat, Zhu Qianying didn’t really mind as taking the kids out for a meal now and then was a perfectly common thing to do. However, the concern and worry were too evident in the children’s eyes that she found it hard to ignore.
Just as she was about to ask the two kids why they made this decision, her little boy was already on the phone with his father.
"Daddy, is it okay if we go out for dinner tonight?"
Yan Shao had become a devoted father lately, indulging every whim of his son.
"Sure, there are plenty of seafood restaurants by the sea. Shall we have seafood?"
The little boy covered the receiving end of the phone and shouted at Zhu Qianying, "Mom, can we have seafood at the seafood restaurant tonight?"
Of course, Zhu Qianying wouldn’t refuse the good intention of the two little brats.
"Great, I also fancy some fresh seafood!"
Nevertheless, she was curious as to why her son would suggest not having dinner at home given that, in the eyes of her little boy, no matter what they ate outside, it would never be as good as what mother-in-law and Mommy cook at home.
As for Bai Xiaolu, Bai Shao’s cooking skills are so ordinary that they couldn’t be more ordinary. An adult man like Bai Xiangdong couldn’t cook at all. So ever since she returned to the country, she has favored Chen Jing’s and Zhu Qianying’s cooking.
The fact that both little boys are insisting on eating out, coupled with the concern in their eyes, she guessed that they probably didn’t want to tire her out.
As for why they didn’t want her to get tired, was it because she looked visibly fatigued now?
As Zhu Qianying thought, she took a few extra glimpses of herself in the mirror while taking a bath. She didn’t notice anything wrong with her though.
However, this minor issue could not overshadow her good mood.
Emerging fresh and invigorated after a bath, and seeing the two little guys off to bed, Zhu Qianying picked up the phone and dialed Cheng Ye.
The moment the call was picked up, Zhu Qianying sincerely said, "Cheng, thank you!"
Cheng Ye paused for a moment, "Did Yan Shao tell you?"
"Yes..." Zhu Qianying felt that if Cheng Ye didn’t owe Yan Shao a favor, he probably wouldn’t have agreed so readily.
Nevertheless, it was a consensus between the two and how they arrived at it didn’t matter.
"Ying Zi, actually, you don’t need to thank me! To be honest, I was being too selfish. I always thought that one day I could keep up with your pace, so I was reluctant to let go. But the words Yan Shao said to me that day were illuminating. Indeed, his suggestion is the best choice for both you and me."
Although Zhu Qianying couldn’t see Cheng Ye’s expression, she could feel that it was a weight off his shoulder to say such words.
Or more accurately, Zhu Qianying was also relieved.
"I’ve carefully studied your products and marked the ones suitable for Ying Jewelry. If you want to maintain the integrity of your design, I can produce it exactly according to your design."
Every time Zhu Qianying submitted a design, there were rarely any changes. Even if there were changes, they were mostly not related to the design itself, but modifications were made to cater to customer preferences.
At that time, Zhu Qianying was the chief designer of Ying Jewelry. Such modifications, which prioritized the interests of the store, were necessary and couldn’t be refused.
However, the situation was different now. These products are directly branded in Zhu Qianying’s name. If changes were made to cater to the market, the profits of the store might increase due to the modifications, but the product would no longer be an exclusive Zhu Qianying branded product.
"Cheng, let me consider it, alright?"
As a designer, Zhu Qianying surely wouldn’t want her products to be altered beyond recognition. However, this was perfectly normal in the past.
After all, she had to prioritize the interests of the jewelry store.
But now, what she needs to consider is only how to perfect the products she designs, rather than making them as commercialized as before.
"Sure, I’ll be returning to the country in a few days. We can meet and discuss then."
Zhu Qianying had initially worried that Cheng Ye would hold a grudge against Yan Shao, but that concern was mostly dispelled after this call.
In the evening, Yan Shao returned home on time. Zhu Qianying, who was informed in advance, picked up her two children and waited outside the house.
Seeing the car stop, the two children climbed into the backseat like monkeys. When Zhu Qianying, who was blushing, got into the car and closed the door, Yan Shao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said to the two little boys, "You two little foodies, apart from seafood, tell us what else you want to eat. We’ll go tomorrow night."
