Chapter 607: The big breakfast

At the suggestion of her family that night, the next day, Chi Lian was convinced to throw a big breakfast at the palace hotel to celebrate the first achievement and form of recognition Phoenix media had accomplished. The palace hotel in conjunction with phoenix bakery and the royal kitchen worked rapidly together to put together this sudden feast which was well paid for. The congratulatory breakfast was attended by employees of phoenix media who were not working, friends and family.

A myriad of breakfast foods, sweets and deserts were served. It was of no surprise to anyone that even alcoholic beverages and champagne was served.

Even though it was planned at the last minute, almost everyone that she invited was here and every time Chi Lian turned around, she was handed a gift and the words congratulations would follow.

At this exact moment, Chi Lian was holding the children in one arm each and speaking to Chi Wei in a corner, away from the happy crowd of gluttonous guests who were feasting on the delicious foods.

She had learned the news of Yan Da’s death just this morning and asked T4 to snoop around. In all the things he found, one was that Chi Wei was in B city the previous night and that is precisely what brother and sister were discussing.

Chi Lian approached the subject gently, not wanting it to appear as if she was interrogating him. "Did you miss our old home and suddenly decide to visit brother?"

Chi Wei was holding a glass of champagne which was untouched and when his sister suddenly asked that question, he frowned. "What’s there to miss about a city that caused us mostly misery? We did find happiness eventually but there was a lot of sadness for us."

As he spoke, her brother twirled the champagne around slowly, seeming to be deep in thought. He seemed to hate B city almost as much as Chi Zimo who had no life or friends after their family lost their wealth in that city. But if he hated it that much, then why was he there.

"So, why did you go there?" she asked.

"We are expanding the factory so I went to take a look at some land and a few old factories which are on sale. Haven’t you heard, the bandit is a must have companion in every house in our empire and outside. We can hardly keep up with the demand because we have few factories and some quacks are already attempting to replicate our device. I will never allow others to steal from us. Why are you so interested in my movements little sister?"

"No reason," she answered softly and she shrugged. "I am always interested in your movements big brother. Aren’t you interested in mine?"

Chi Wei smiled at her, and he used the index finger of his left hand to tickle her chin playfully.

She blew air downwards at the finger, urging him to take it away because it was ticklish but he kept moving it from one side to another.

"Stop that." she laughed.

"No, not until you tell me the truth." he replied.

Watching them from her mother’s side, Mei-Mei giggled and tugged on Chi Wei’s soft grey cotton pants. "Uncle Mei-Mei too."

Chi Wei put the glass of champagne down on the sill of the window and carried Mei-Mei in his hands. Rather than tickle her with one finger, he did it with five fingers of one hand.

Chi Lian used this opportunity to carry Little Monk. She located some strawberries at one of the tables and fed one to him.

"Is it sweet?"

Little monk nodded and opened his mouth for another strawberry.

Gladly, she fed him another and she took a bite of one herself. He was right, they were sweet. Someone had said that they were imported but she barely paid attention when that someone was speaking.

"Sister Chi," Xue Lili came over and hugged mother and son at the same time. She was smiling so much that her forehead formed small wrinkles. You could easily read Lili and tell that she was happy, it was the reason as to why she sucked at any card game. When she had a good hand, you could tell. "Congratulations sister Chi, I am so proud of you."

"Thank you." Chi Lian hugged her back and then let go of her so that they would not squeeze little monk between their two bodies.

"I saw your husband presenting you with that award, aaah, he was so dreamy. And when he said, my wife, my life I almost screamed the house down. It’s trending you know, the line my wife, my life." Lili went on to say this so cheerfully.

"I saw." Chi Lian said, as the peep star, she shared a picture of Muyang carrying her into the house when they returned from the awards and attached the words, ’His wife, his life.’

"Did you get any sleep my dear, tell me..." Lili’s eyes were wide and she looked so perverted as she asked for details which would not be shared.

"I always knew that you were a pervert Xue Lili and now I have proof." Rize joined the two women and pushed Lili away with her hips so that she could hug Chi Lian. "Sister-in-law, congratulations."

"Thank you beautiful princess."

"This gift is from all of us at the royal palace." she handed Chi Lian a small gift.

It was wrapped inside a small royal blue gift bag with a picture of a crown as the only decoration on the bag.

Wenli who as not far from Chi Lian at all times took the gift and handed it to Spider who took it to the car immediately. All gifts were being sent to the car because she did not want them to be misplaced.

"I don’t see Qin Meng, didn’t she get an invitation?" Rize looked around curiously.

"She traveled with Haena to America for a photoshoot, didn’t you hear that Haena would be the new Asian ambassador for the Deluxe scent company. We were hoping that CindyxRella would get it but she is still new." Lili was ready with that information.

"Should we congratulate Qin Meng then?" Chi Lian asked Lili.

"En, both of you are friends despite being competitors as well." Rize was of this opinion. "But, neither you nor Chi Rui have decided in who will be running the entertainment company after he takes over the position of minister for lost culture. Sister-in-law, what’s the plan?"

Lili raised her hand and tapped both women on the shoulders. "I am here, don’t you both see me?"

"You need a degree in finance or management Miss Lili, last I checked you studied public relations at the university." This was said by Bear who was simply passing by, hoping to speak to Spider but her feet stopped suddenly because her boss could be swept away by sentiments and randomly decide to make her unqualified friend a CEO of a company which was now earning hundreds of millions monthly.

Lili stared daggers at Bear, wondering why she was qualified to judge what she could achieve or not.

"You are one of the best PR managers in the business in this empire, do not ruin your portfolio by adding ex or fired CEO to your list of qualifications." Bear added, quite seriously as she spoke. "The position of CEO of Phoenix entertainment is already spoken for, all our boss here needs to do is make a decision."

Bear was finished disseminating the information she wanted and she walked on, leaving Lili and Rize to look at Chi Lian curiously.

"Who are you hiring?" Lili asked.
