Shen Jiazhou curled the corners of his lips, looked at Cancan wearing a mask on the other end of the phone, and softened his tone: "Is it Ultraman?"

Ultraman took off his mask, revealing a bright smile with crescent-shaped eyes: "It's Baby! You guessed wrong!"

Shen Jiazhou smiled and said, "So it was the baby. I guessed wrong. How about I bring you a gift when I get back?"

"Okay, okay." Can Can took the phone, but noticed that the camera only showed her shoes. She asked in confusion, "Huh? What's going on? Why are they showing baby's shoes?"

Wen Shuqiao glanced at it, then leaned over and tapped the screen to flip the camera around.

The two of them appeared in the shot. She made eye contact with Shen Jiazhou on the screen. It didn't seem right to leave now, so she squatted down next to Can Can: "Have we arrived at the hotel?"

Shen Jiazhou replied, "In the car, almost there."

Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement: "On the way home, we came across a stall selling masks. Cancan picked one out and said he wanted to show it to you. Actually, he just missed you."

Can Can quickly covered Wen Shu Qiao's mouth: "No!"

Wen Shuqiao's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Why is my baby being so hypocritical now?"

Can Can said shyly this time, "Okay, actually I was just thinking about it a little bit."

Shen Jiazhou looked at the "big" heads crowding in front of the camera. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wen Shuqiao had already gone off to do other things. Can Can sat down on a small stool with her phone in hand: "Look~ it's milk, and cake~"

The camera work is a bit chaotic, but you can always catch a glimpse of Cancan in some corner.

He said helplessly, "Baby, point the camera at my face, let me see."

Can Can quickly adjusted the camera. The child didn't know what angle was, she just knew to get closer so that her uncle could see her more clearly.

Shen Jiazhou said, "I miss you too."

"Oh dear," Can Can said, "Then, then come back quickly."

Then she looked up and peeked at her aunt's position, brought her mouth close to the camera, and whispered, "Me too, I miss you too."

He was a little embarrassed. His aunt said that his uncle was very busy and he didn't want to be a clingy baby.

But, but it was my uncle who said he missed himself first!

Baby, this is just reciprocity (returning courtesy)!

Shen Jiazhou said, "Okay, I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

Sitting in the front, General Manager Jiang could clearly see Shen Jiazhou's expression through the rearview mirror.

Is this still the same Shen Jiazhou from before?

Sure enough, the domineering CEO who is "decisive and ruthless" outside still uses reduplicated words and sweet talk when he gets home.

Humans are bound to have family ties.

But speaking of which, when did Shen Jiazhou get married? And he even has a talking child??

Mr. Jiang took out his phone and subtly sent a message in the company's small group chat.

[President Jiang: When did President Shen get married? When did she have her child? Why hasn't anyone mentioned this?]

A moment later, his phone started ringing, startling President Jiang. He instinctively looked up at the rearview mirror and saw Shen Jiazhou looking at him.

He quickly lowered his head and immediately silenced his phone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, please continue your call."

Mr. Jiang looked down at the group chat, which was full of question marks, all asking when this happened.

That's ridiculous. If he knew, would he have bothered asking in the group chat?

The driver dutifully took them to the hotel entrance.

Shen Jiazhou got out of the car, and perhaps because he received a video call from Cancan, he was in a good mood.

President Jiang also got out of the car: "President Shen, I won't disturb your rest any longer. The company will be waiting for you tomorrow, and the driver will come back to pick you up."

Shen Jiazhou nodded slightly, reverting to his usual demeanor: "Thank you for your trouble."

Mr. Jiang waved his hand and said, "You're too kind."

The wind picked up outside, and Shen Jiazhou turned around and walked into the hotel, with Lin Yan following closely behind. However, he had only taken two steps when he was stopped by President Jiang.

"Assistant Lin, Assistant Lin." President Jiang glanced at Shen Jiazhou, and after confirming that the other party showed no sign of turning around, asked in a low voice, "When did President Shen get married? Also, does Mrs. Shen prefer gold, jade, or pearls? And what do the children like?"

Lin Yan flashed his signature smile and said, "President Jiang, you just need to do your job. We shouldn't comment on President Shen's family affairs."

Mr. Jiang sighed, "I was just thinking that when you two go back, you could bring back some local specialties for Madam Shen and the young master."

Lin Yan said, "Thank you, President Jiang, but President Shen doesn't need it. We're here to work, and we'll leave after we finish our work."

Seeing that Lin Yan was unwilling to offer any guidance, General Manager Jiang had no choice but to say, "Alright, then you and General Manager Shen should get some rest."

Lin Yan followed them into the hotel.

He quickly caught up with Shen Jiazhou. Shen Jiazhou glanced at him, and Lin Yan said, "President Jiang asked me when you got married, and also asked whether Mrs. Shen prefers gold or jade. He wanted us to bring back some local specialties when we go back. It must be a misunderstanding about Can Can and Miss Wen."

To put it nicely, it's a local specialty; to put it bluntly, it's a gift.

But Lin Yan knew that Shen Jiazhou hated giving gifts the most. He didn't do any serious work and only thought about shady things.

Shen Jiazhou said, "You know how to handle this."

Lin Yan hummed in agreement. Regardless of the specifics, cooperation would be difficult.

The Shen family has no shortage of local specialties; what they lack are good partners.

*

Shen Jiazhou's business trip lasted a full week, and he returned to City A on Thursday evening.

After getting off the plane, I went home to wash away my fatigue before driving the gifts to the parking garage of Wen Shuqiao's residential complex.
