Yan's father and Yan Yaru returned home together by car, arriving at 9 p.m.

Mother Yan looked at Aunt Wu and Aunt Ni and instructed them, "Go and rest as soon as you're done with your work."

The two pursed their lips and spoke.

"Yes, madam."

The father and daughter, who were changing their shoes in the entryway, walked into the living room and happened to see Yan's mother coming out of the kitchen.

"Mom, have your guests left?"

Mother Yan chuckled, "It's already nine o'clock. The kids need to go to sleep; they have school tomorrow."

Yan Yaru looked at her mother in surprise, "Ah, your guest is a child?"

Good heavens, is her mother obsessed with her child?

The optimistic mother didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Yes, it's a little girl, so pretty and cute. She was with her grandma and an aunt who took care of her. And the driver too. We had dinner together. Let me tell you, the little girl has such a sweet tongue. It's a pity she's not one of ours."

Yan's father glanced at his daughter, and when he looked up again, he looked tenderly at his wife.

"After hearing what you said, I'd like to meet them too."

It's rare for him to do something that makes his wife happy.

Mother Yan looked at her beloved daughter and smiled faintly.

"You know him too."

Yan Yaru and her father exchanged surprised glances.

"I know him too?"

"Yes, she's Shen Shiyi's daughter. Haven't you seen her two children?"

Yan Yaru looked up at her father.

"I didn't pay much attention to her child." She was too busy paying attention to her.

Yan Yaru felt that her mother hadn't mentioned having children lately, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Nan Yihan, who was picking up a document, passed by the director's office and found Director Yan sitting in her office chair, lost in thought. After she finished her work and went to the break room to get some water, she passed by the director's office again and found her lost in thought.

Back in her seat, she began to speculate. "I haven't sensed anything unusual happening with President Yan lately, so why is he so distracted today?"

Suddenly her phone rang. After hanging up shortly after, she got up and knocked on the director's office door.

"Mr. Yan, I need to speak with you."

Yan Yaru looked up and said, "Please come in!"

In the chairman's office, Mr. Yan spent the whole morning looking at the photocopies his secretary had made. Seeing that the sales data had increased slightly, he was finally relieved.

Business is really tough these days. People's incomes are lower, their wallets are tighter, and they're less willing to spend. Seeing so many people in the company that need to be supported, I still have to think of ways to increase revenue; otherwise, how can I feed so many people?

Qin Ziming was in his office, also reviewing the company's sales data. After looking at it for several hours, his eyes felt a little strained and his head ached slightly, so he quickly rubbed his temples and chest.

Seeing that the vice president looked tired, Lu Zhiyao went to the tea room and made him a cup of his own Xiangpiaopiao milk tea.

Qin Ziming, who was resting with his head down, looked up at the door when he heard it open.

"Zhiyao, come in."

Lu Zhiyao strode to the desk and placed the original flavor of Xiangpiaopiao on it.

"Vice President, would you like some milk tea?"

Qin Ziming smiled at the milk tea and reached out to take it.

"Thank you, please have a seat."

Lu Zhiyao sat down respectfully and upright. He didn't know what the vice president's purpose was in asking him to sit down, so he could only sit quietly.

"You've been here for a while now, how's your adjustment going?"

Lu Zhiyao calmly replied, "It's great. I've learned a lot from my seniors."

Qin Ziming became interested upon hearing this.

"Oh, tell me about it."

"Interpersonal skills and the ability to adapt to various emergencies."

Qin Ziming smiled, pursing his lips.

"That's good. Learn well from Assistant Nian; you'll find most of the knowledge useful in the future."

Lu Zhiyao nodded, his lips pressed tightly together.

"Yes, then, Vice President, I'll go back to work now."

Qin Ziming smiled gently and nodded.

"Go."

As he watched his tall, imposing figure disappear behind the closed door, Qin Ziming suppressed the faint smile on his face.

He took a deep breath, got up, went to the French windows, and looked ahead.

With his upright posture and unique, gentle demeanor, he looked even more handsome in a suit.

Just then, his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"Wife."

After finishing her work, Shen Shiyi made a phone call in her office. When she heard her husband's voice on the other end of the line, she smiled.

Are you busy today?

"Every day is pretty much the same, what about you?"

"I've applied for maternity leave myself, and I'm planning to go back this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ziming immediately spoke up.

"Then I'll come pick you up."

When Lu Zhiyao saw Qin Ziming walk out, he quickly went up to ask him.

"Vice President, where are you going?"

"Pick up my wife. If you need anything, talk to Assistant Nian. There are very important things that I will handle when I get back."

Seeing him stride towards the elevator, Lu Zhiyao nodded quickly.

"Okay, please be careful."

Lu Qinzhou drove the car to the school gate, and two minutes later, Shen Shiyi arrived at the school gate, supporting her pregnant belly.

How long have you been there?

Qin Ziming, who was leaning over and blocking the car door with her hand, smiled gently upon hearing this.

"It will only take a few minutes."

After Shen Shiyi got into the car, Qin Ziming climbed in. Lu Qinzhou started the car after they were both seated.

An hour later, the car stopped at the main gate of the group.

From afar, Su Ziyu saw the vice president helping a beautiful woman out of the car. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the woman was pregnant.

Could she be the vice president's wife?

Qin Ziming helped Shen Shiyi walk towards the president's private elevator.
