Thus, the all-knowing Assistant Qin discovered that his master had been basking in the spring breeze all day, with even the corners of his eyes and brows carrying a hint of spring affection.

"Sir, you and Miss Zhu have reconciled?"

Qin Xiu, ever the gossip, leaned closer, winking and asking mischievously.

Yan Shao was dismissive, saying, "It's been fine all along."

Qin Xiu shrugged. He wondered who it was that had been acting like the whole world owed him something for the past few days, always wearing a dark expression.

Although my face is handsome enough, it's always so dark. My heart can't take it. Being in a sub-zero environment for a long time will seriously impair blood flow.

Fortunately, Miss Zhu used some kind of magic trick to completely charm her master overnight. He was all smiles and pleasantries towards everyone he met, as if he were a completely different person. The difference was like a homeless person suddenly winning the lottery, going from poor to rich overnight—his face beaming with unbridled joy.

"The Xing family's cooperation project will proceed as scheduled!"

Yan Shao was pleased, and naturally, he took the Xing family's affairs less seriously.

Since the young master of the Xing family is Zhu Qianying's good friend, I can't make things too difficult for them, can I?

"What about the other families..." In fact, not only the Xing family, but also the Lü family, the Ling family, and the Qi family have all suffered some unfair treatment from the Yanhuang Group recently.

However, in this world, the truth is mostly represented by the wealthy. When Young Master Yan says one thing, everyone else can only silently accept it and has no chance to say another.

"Let's resume that too!" Young Master Yan waved his hand, and the unilateral sanctions imposed by the Yanhuang Group on the major families, which had lasted for some time, were finally lifted, and cooperation was fully restored to normal.

Qin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to take care of the matter. He was afraid that his master might suddenly withdraw the order if he was displeased, which would be troublesome.

In fact, Yan Shao's ability to wield influence in L City and even the country is not only due to the family fortune inherited from his ancestors, but also largely due to his own exceptional business acumen and skills.

During the ten years he was in charge of the Yan and Tong families, no one knew better than Qin Xiu how many people who disagreed with him he silenced with his abilities and shrewdness.

Qin Xiu rarely saw Yan Shao act so impulsively for someone, letting emotions cloud his judgment in official matters, except for that young lady from the Yi family a few years ago...

At 11 a.m., Qin Xiu asked his master as usual, "What kind of food do you want to eat today, Master? Chinese, Korean, or Japanese?"

Yan Shao produced a large bag from somewhere and pushed it in front of Qin Xiu, saying, "Heat these up and bring them back."

Qin Xiu was stunned and speechless. His master, known for his pickiness and fastidiousness, was actually eating leftovers? Just which hotel's chef was so skilled?

With a puzzled look, Qin Xiu took the large bag, broke it open, and counted the contents. Inside, there were eight boxes neatly stacked, plus a soup bowl.

Are you eating alone?

Qin Xiu received no response to his question, so he didn't dare to ask any more. He carried the large bag to the cafeteria and asked the chef to carefully heat up the food, plate it, and bring it up on a cart.

"Sir, your lunch is ready!"

Qin Xiu had the chef push the food cart directly into the reception room and helped the chef serve the dishes and soup to the table.

Straightening up, she saw that Young Master Yan had already walked in, and asked gossipily, "Master, which grand hotel produces these dishes? They smell delicious."

Yan Shao sat down, took the soup the chef served him, took a sip, and then said, "Zhu Qianying Grand Hotel."

Qin Xiu didn't react immediately, "Huh? Zhu Qianying? When did Miss Zhu open a big hotel?"

Yan Shao rolled his eyes at him, and Qin Xiu finally understood. "Oh, I see. All of this was cooked by Miss Zhu herself for you, right?"

Yan Shao neither said yes nor no, and directly picked up his bowl and started eating. Qin Xiu glanced at the fragrant dishes on the coffee table, which looked like a good balance of meat and lean meat, and his stomach rumbled a few times.

He couldn't help but swallow hard. "Sir, there's so much. Can you finish it all?"

Actually, he often dined with Young Master Yan, but today these dishes were made by the future boss's wife herself for the boss, so he didn't dare to shamelessly ask for a share.

Yan Shao raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then raised his chin. "Let's eat together!"

Qin Xiu quickly ladled himself a bowl of soup, took a sip, and exclaimed, "Wow, it's delicious! What kind of soup is this?"

"Stewed duck with dried tangerine peel has the effects of warming the stomach and strengthening the spleen, nourishing the five internal organs, relieving cough and asthma."

It was extremely rare for Yan Shao to pay attention to Qin Xiu, and he even explained the effects of the soup.

"Young Master Yan, you're amazing! You even know the effects of soup?"

Yan Shao rolled his eyes at him again, "Zhu Qianying said it!"

This morning, after Zhu Qianying helped him tie his tie, she asked him, "Young Master Yan, was the tangerine peel and duck soup you had last night delicious? I heard you cough twice this afternoon, so I specially made this soup."

At that time, Yan Shao was extremely guilty and could only reply that it was delicious. After getting into the driver's car, Yan Shao quickly searched online and found out that the soup had the effects of warming the stomach and spleen, nourishing the five internal organs, relieving cough and asthma, and was indeed very suitable for him to drink.

So, she really did put a lot of effort into making that meal for me last night?

After thinking it over, Yan Shao felt that throwing away the food from last night was too unfair to her.

When they were almost back in Yanhuang, Yan Shao finally couldn't resist and made a phone call home.

"Uncle Hai, did you throw away all the dishes and soup that Zhu Qianying made?"

Uncle Hai's answer delighted Young Master Yan.

"Young Master, it's not spilled. I told them to put it in a food storage container and put it in the refrigerator. You want to eat it for lunch, right? I'll have the driver deliver it right away!"

Thus, the scene where Young Master Yan magically produced a large bag of food occurred.

"Young Master Yan, do you think you can fire the chef at home after you marry Miss Zhu? This food is so delicious! It's clearly on par with the chefs at Mingxuan Grand Hotel!"

Once Qin Xiu picked up his chopsticks, he couldn't stop eating, praising the food incessantly as he ate.

"Nonsense, how high could Chef Mingxuan's level be?"

Clearly, in Yan Shao's eyes, the chefs at Mingxuan are probably not even one-tenth the level of Zhu Qianying.

Qin Xiu was always the best at reading his master's expression. "That's right, that's right. Miss Zhu's cooking skills are far superior to those of those master chefs."

Yan Shao slowly ate a few bites, then said, "One is something you can eat as long as you have money, the other is a limited edition. Tell me, which one is more sophisticated?"

Qin Xiu was now indebted to her, so he said, "Of course it's Miss Zhu!"

Yan Shao nodded in satisfaction. "By the way, tell that photographer you mentioned last time who takes wedding photos that I'm going to have mine taken next Saturday. We'll bring our own wedding dress and suits, and he can choose the ideas and locations!"
