Chapter 800: Chapter 800: To Accept, or Not to Accept?

The little Miss had a full meal in the dining room before boarding the plane, and after a short while of playing, she yawned and fell asleep on her Daddy’s body.

Yan Bo always welcomed his daughter’s clinginess and unlike many men who found children annoying, he could truly be called a child fanatic.

Zhu Qianying had slept through the day and wasn’t sleepy at this point, so she took out her laptop and started revising the drafts.

Yan Bo cradled his little one and closed his eyes to rest, but in his mind, he was thinking about the Company’s matters.

His elder brother, Yan Ting, had called him over half a month ago, mentioning a Project that wasn’t very profitable and asking whether Yanhuang wanted to consider placing a Bid.

The fact that his brother personally made the call signified that the Project was very important.

And Yan Ting, who occupied a key position and was always known for his integrity, wouldn’t be looking for personal profit for Yan Bo; rather, it meant he was genuinely entrusting the heavy responsibility to Yan Bo.

Yan Bo usually avoided such important yet thankless tasks, but this time his elder brother had personally asked, so he had to consider it seriously.

Actually, his hesitation wasn’t about the profit. After all, with the Assets Yanhuang Group held at present, even running the Project like a charity wouldn’t have a substantial impact on Yanhuang.

What he hesitated about was that the construction would be in Capital City and it was extremely crucial, with any slip-up potentially leading to serious trouble.

If he decided to go ahead, it would mean spending a significant amount of time in Capital City to personally oversee and direct the construction period.

Five or six years ago, he would’ve agreed without hesitation, after all, that was his elder brother’s request.

But now, he had a full house with one adult and two small ones that he couldn’t bear to leave.

It was not that he feared they wouldn’t be able to take care of themselves, but rather, he couldn’t let go.

He also feared that if something did go wrong, they might suffer along with him.

He lowered his head to look at the plump little one nestled in his arms, then glanced sidelong at Zhu Qianying, who was working attentively.

Although Zhu Qianying was extremely focused on her work, she naturally noticed the burning gaze fixed on her.

She lifted her head and glanced at the tiny baby in his arms, met his calm eyes, winked at him, and smiled.

"Tired? Let me take over. You lie down for a bit!"

Having said that, Zhu Qianying quickly hit the save button and casually closed the computer.

Yan Bo looked down at his precious daughter fast asleep in his arms and shook his head, "No need, you take a rest."

He naturally had to tell Zhu Qianying about the Project, but not right now.

Firstly, now wasn’t the right time, and secondly, he hadn’t yet decided whether to take it on.

Zhu Qianying watched him quietly for a while, "Are you keeping something from me?"

Although Yan Bo was reserved, Zhu Qianying was not dull. As his bedfellow, she could still sense his unusual state to some extent.

It’s just that her intuition was obviously not as deep as Yan Bo’s; only at that moment did it seem to her that he was hiding something troublesome.

Yan Bo paused for a moment, then shook his head again.

This pause made Zhu Qianying even more certain of her thoughts.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at him, "Out with it. What have you done to feel guilty? For the sake of our baby boy and little one, let’s see if I can forgive you!"

Her completely judgmental stance brought a laugh to the moody Yan Bo on the spot.

He looked at her amusedly with a curve to his eyes and eyebrows, "You really can forgive?"

Of course, he also knew Zhu Qianying was teasing, so he played along.

"Let’s hear it..." Zhu Qianying grew even more certain that he was hiding a significant matter in his heart.

Yan Ting put away his smile, sized her up seriously for a few moments, and finally stood up, stood in the aisle, and placed the little one into baby boy’s arms.

"Hold your sister, Daddy needs to talk with Mommy for a while."

Baby boy’s affection for the little one was comparable to Yan Ting’s, if not more, but he also understood that he was still a child and there were things he couldn’t take care of when it came to his sister.

Take horse riding, for example, he wouldn’t dare to do that with his sister. He was afraid of hurting his precious sister.

Therefore, although he wanted to be close to his sister all the time, he wasn’t jealous of Yan Ting taking care of her.

"Alright, I’ll hold her!"

Baby boy happily took the sleeping sister, supporting her head with one hand and carefully making her lie more comfortably in his not-so-broad embrace with the other hand.

Sitting beside him, Yan Bo looked at his granddaughter sleeping so sweetly and felt the urge to hold her, "How about Grandfather holds her?"

Baby boy, who had just managed to get his sister into his arms, naturally wasn’t willing to give her up, "No, I’ll hold her!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and rubbed his face against little sister’s warm cheek a few times.

Yan Bo, knowing that he couldn’t win over baby boy, had to say, "Alright then, baby boy, you can let Grandfather hold her when you get tired."

Yan Ting, who had already returned to his seat, couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile at the sight of his father’s wistful face.

Zhu Qianying wasn’t in any rush. She waited for him to slowly turn his head before asking again, "Have you decided how to explain it?"

Yan Ting put away his smile; after all, the matter was a very serious one.

If handled well, Yanhuang would only have a name and no real profit to show for it. If handled poorly, the impact on Yanhuang could be quite significant.

Therefore, if it hadn’t been for Yan Ting’s request, Yan Ting would have never touched it.

"My older brother brought up a matter to me half a month ago, and I’m still not sure what to think about it."

Zhu Qianying immediately looked at him with vigilance, "Is it about baby boy again?"

Yan Ting shook his head, "No, it’s about a very important government project tender, and my brother hopes Yanhuang can participate in it."

As he said this, Zhu Qianying had a vague understanding.

"You don’t want to deal with it?"

"Yes! But..." Yan Ting hesitated.

Zhu Qianying didn’t press further, but simply waited quietly for him to continue.

After thinking for a while longer, Yan Ting spoke up.

"The project is actually a thankless task. Doing well brings little benefit, but failing it brings a load of criticism."

Zhu Qianying, of course, wouldn’t take his words at face value. Swiftly realizing that he was facing difficulties because the project involved many aspects, or rather, many people.

"You feel that big brother might need your help, which is why you are hesitating, right?"

Previously, Zhu Qianying didn’t have much of an impression of Yan Ting, her cousin-in-law. But since the issue with baby boy, she had come to realize that although Yan Ting and Yan Ting were cousins, their affection for each other was no less than that of real brothers.

With everything laid out so clearly, Yan Ting no longer hid his thoughts and spoke straightforwardly.

"Yes, big brother has been in office for more than a year and indeed needs to accomplish something significant to consolidate his political achievements."

What Yan Ting was choosing in his heart and what he was troubled about, Zhu Qianying roughly understood.

"Then take it on. Big brother must trust that Yanhuang has the capability, which is why he would entrust such a heavy responsibility to you."

Zhu Qianying also understood the logic. If she had even a shred of selfish thought, she wouldn’t possibly have supported Yan Ting in accepting this project.
