After surviving this catastrophe, the old master of the Ye family was not as healthy as before. When the eldest son, Ye Lancheng, saw that his father had many more wrinkles on his face and his hair had turned much whiter, he felt bad.

"Dad, is there anything else that feels uncomfortable in your body?"

Looking at his son's concerned eyes, the old man shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Ye Lancheng sighed, "Dad, don't worry about the company's affairs. Just focus on getting better. Asen will handle the rest."

The old man patted him on the shoulder. "I'm fine, I'm not worried. By the way, how's the second son doing?"

Ever since the old man said he would transfer Ye Boxuan's shares to Ye Bosen, the second son's family moved out and haven't come back to see him for so long.

Ye Lancheng frowned and complained, "Dad, why are you still bothered with them? They haven't shown up since you transferred the shares to Asen."

The old man sighed deeply and said helplessly, "After all, we're all family. I didn't want things to turn out like this."

Ye Lancheng sneered, "They don't treat us like family; all they care about is money and power. If it weren't for their excessive ambition, the Ye family wouldn't be in this state, and Ye Boxuan wouldn't have tried to kill his brother and even poisoned you."

Ye Lancheng got really angry when he talked about this; he almost didn't get to see his son again.

"Fortunately, everything turned out alright. Now, it's important for you to take care of yourself," Ye Lancheng comforted him.

The old man nodded slightly in agreement.

After a moment of silence, the old man asked, "Why haven't I seen Xiao girl for so long? I miss her terribly. Contact Ah Sen and ask him to bring Xiao girl back for a meal another day. She's a great benefactor to our Ye family."

Upon hearing his father's words, Ye Lancheng immediately took out his phone and called Ye Bosen.

The call was answered shortly afterward, and Ye Bosen's deep voice came from the other end.

"Hello, Dad, what's up?"

"Ah Sen, your grandfather wants to meet Qianqian. Why don't you take her home for a meal sometime?"

"Okay, Dad, I'll ask her when she's free tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Bosen thought for a moment and then dialed Xiao Qianqian's number.

Xiao Qianqian was sitting at the lab table wearing protective clothing, intently watching the experimental reaction and recording the results.

She conducted the same experiment several times, but the results were not satisfactory.

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Xiao Qianqian looked at the data repeatedly and then compared it with the experimental results.

Her phone was on her desk, and she had no idea that Ye Bosen had called her. She continued to immerse herself in her experiments.

Ye Bosen called her almost ten times, but no one answered.

"What's going on? Why isn't anyone answering?"

"President, everyone for the meeting is here, just waiting for you."

Zhang Qi pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a pile of documents.

Ye Bosen glanced at his phone, but no one answered. He figured she was probably busy, so he put the phone in his pocket, grabbed the documents, and prepared to go to the meeting.

"Let's go."

Xiao Qianqian worked diligently until after 3 p.m. before finally finding the crux of the problem and achieving a satisfactory result.

This was the bottleneck problem that the experimental group had been encountering in the last experiment, but now it can finally be solved.

When the research team members saw that this newly appointed director had solved a problem that they had been researching for a long time without success in just two days, they immediately looked at her with admiration.

"Director, how did you come up with this method?"

"Director, could you explain the specific steps to us later?"

"Director, I love you."

"Director, you're amazing. I'm sorry, I wasn't very friendly to you the other day. I apologize."

"Director, you're amazing! I thought the CEO had just found us a pretty face; I was so narrow-minded."

"Director, I admire no one but you."

"Director, do you need a boyfriend? How about me?" a tall, thin young man said, blushing.

"Lu Tiancheng, don't you even look at yourself? Do you think you're good enough for our beautiful, intelligent, and talented director?"

"Even if the director is looking for a boyfriend, he should look for someone as handsome and dashing as me." Lin Fei said, running his hand through his hair and striking what he thought was a cool pose, which made the researchers in the lab burst into laughter.

"Someone like you is obviously a playboy, unreliable. Even if the director is looking for someone, he should find a warm and caring guy like me." After saying that, Wang Tao handed Xiao Qianqian a glass of water.

"Director, please have some water."

"Tch, you're obviously unreliable; all you do is flatter."

Who are you talking about?

Who should be speaking for whom?

After the two finished speaking, they made a move to fight. Seeing that they were about to start a fight, Xiao Qianqian immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"Alright, alright, do you have to fight over such a small thing?"

"snort."

"snort."

After saying that, the two sat down in their respective seats, back to back, neither willing to concede to the other.

Seeing the two of them acting like children, Xiao Qianqian couldn't help but smile.

"I'd like to invite everyone to dinner tonight. Does anyone have time?"

Xiao Qianqian's words immediately perked everyone up.

"Director, I'm free."

"Director, I have one too."

"Director, I need to go."

"Director, I'd like to have a big meal."

"Director, I want to eat seafood."

"Director, I also want to eat seafood."

...

After much discussion, everyone finally agreed to go eat seafood.

"Ye Lin, go and reserve a table. Let's book the seafood buffet. Let's make sure everyone has a good meal tonight."

"Okay, I'll book a table right away."

After Ye Lin finished speaking, she took her phone and walked away.

"Long live the director!"

"Director, I love you."

"Director, I love you so much."

...

Everyone started showering Xiao Qianqian with compliments again, leaving her both amused and exasperated.

"You don't love me, you love the feast I prepare for you, don't you?"

"Director, my love for you is like a mouse's love for rice."

"Director, as the sun and moon bear witness, I truly love you so much."

"Director, my love for you is as boundless as the Yellow River."

"Alright, alright, this is never going to end. Shall we prepare a pot of wine for you so you can continue to express your feelings?"

"The one who truly understands me is the director."

"Director, how did you know? I really like this kind of food."

"Director, we're a match made in heaven. I was just thinking that, and you found out."

"Screw you guys, be serious and get back to work. If you keep joking around, dinner tonight is canceled."

"No, Director, I was working diligently."

"Director, I've been working diligently too."

"Director, I haven't had any meat for a month. I can finally have a good meal tonight. Please do me a favor."
