Xu Feng glanced at her helplessly and answered the phone, and Xiao Jincheng immediately pressed his ear to it.

Xiao Muyu said something, and Xu Feng sighed, "Xiaoyu, don't worry, we don't blame you."

Xiao Jincheng quickly added, "Yes, Xiaoyu, although I have some issues with that brat, I absolutely do not blame you!"

Jiang Xiaoli watched from the side, laughing heartily. Li Guizhi patted her on the shoulder, amused, and said, "Don't gloat!"

She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, saying, "I'm trying to control myself."

Li Guizhi smiled and said, "I'll go cook. You guys ask Dafu and Ayuan if they're coming."

"Okay!"

She asked Zong Jia to inform Da Fu and the others, while she quietly returned to her room to warn Jiang Chengle, "Brother Le! Something terrible has happened!"

Half an hour later, Jiang Chengle sat down next to Xiao Jincheng with a fawning smile. "Uncle Xiao, it was wrong of me to keep my relationship with Xiaoyu a secret from you. As long as you don't break us up, I'll do anything!"

Xiao Jincheng was speechless. "Have you been watching too many melodramatic TV dramas?"

"Pfft!" Zhong Yuan, who was watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Noticing several gazes fixed on him, he quickly hid behind Hu Jingxin. "Uncle Xiao, please continue!"

Xiao Jincheng was silent for a few seconds, then complained to Zhong Yuan, "You interrupted me and I forgot what I was going to say!"

Jiang Xiaoli couldn't hold back any longer, "Uncle Xiao, how about we eat and think about it at the same time?"

Finally, Xu Feng reluctantly reminded him with two words: "Long-distance relationship!"

"Oh, right!" Xiao Jincheng's train of thought clicked again. "The key issue between you and Xiaoyu is that you're in a long-distance relationship!"

He patted Jiang Chengle on the shoulder, "At first we were worried that you, a Briton, would run away with Xiaoyu, but now we've realized that your heart is indeed in China."

But Xiaoyu will be studying at Oxford for several more years, and you're not getting any younger. Can you really wait for her forever?

Jiang Chengle looked very serious and promised, "Uncle, Aunt, I really like and love Xiaoyu. Once my career in China is on track, I can fly back to Great Britain every month to visit Xiaoyu. Time and distance are not a problem!"

Xiao Jincheng and Xu Feng exchanged a glance, and Xu Feng asked, "How do your family members view your relationship with Xiaoyu?"

“My family really likes Xiaoyu!” Jiang Chengle immediately winked at Jiang Xiaoli, “Xiaoli can vouch for that!”

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Indeed, my grandma and aunt both think Xiaoyu is very good."

Xiao Jincheng's expression softened considerably. "My Xiaoyu is just so lovable."

After listening to their conversation, Li Guizhi advised, "Jincheng, Feng'er, you know Ale quite well. Just let the children take their own course. You're worrying too much now. If they can withstand the test of time and distance, it's not too late to talk about it later when Xiaoyu returns after completing her studies."

Xu Feng thought for a moment and tugged at Xiao Jincheng's arm, "Sister-in-law is right. Xiaoyu is far away now, so there's no use in us worrying."

Xiao Jincheng reluctantly nodded in agreement. He emphasized to Jiang Chengle, "Ah Le, it's normal for young people like each other and break up with each other these days. But remember this: if you dare to bully Xiaoyu, I will never forgive you!"

Jiang Chengle nodded repeatedly, assuring her, "Uncle Xiao, I will definitely treat Xiaoyu well!"

"Alright, let's eat!"

Jiang Xiaoli stood up with a smile, "Everyone, this is no ordinary dinner. It's the cooking of a third-prize winner in the National Culinary Competition's Rising Star Group. Please savor it!"

Those who had just heard that Li Guizhi had won the award all offered their congratulations.

Li Guizhi greeted everyone with a smile, "Thank you, thank you, everyone, please start eating, the food is getting cold."

Zhong Yuan picked up a piece of food and tasted it. "Auntie, if you ask me, 'Gui Zhi Xiao Guan' definitely needs to raise its prices! This award-winning cooking is just fantastic!"

Dafu wasn't as exaggerated as him, but after tasting it carefully, he also praised, "Auntie, it's been a while since I've had your cooking, and there's a really noticeable change. The flavors of the dishes are much richer and more complex!"

Jiang Xiaoli gestured towards Zhong Yuan with her chin, "Brother Yuan, listen to this, listen to this! How professional Brother Dafu's comments are!"

"Tsk." Zhong Yuan stroked his chin. "Fu Zi, where did you go for further studies? You speak so eloquently now, you're getting more and more impressive."

Dafu proudly replied, "I learned all of this from the books Yueyue gave me. She said it would help me be a good leader."

Xiao Jincheng nodded approvingly and said, "Dafu is thoughtful! Sigh, it reminds me of when I first started my company. I was full of enthusiasm and led my underground brothers to work hard. I treated them with all my heart, but they took all that kindness for granted. Later I realized that a leader has to act like a leader and say what needs to be said in order to lead a team well!"

The young people present nodded in agreement. Dafu said, "Uncle Xiao, you're absolutely right! Being too soft-hearted makes it difficult to manage a team, especially a large one."

Now, the total number of employees in "Jiang Li Ji" company, including factory workers, is close to 10,000. He has to oversee everything, big and small. Da Fu has grown a lot in the past two years, and no one in the company, including college students, dares to disobey him.

Jiang Xiaoli picked up the quilt and toasted him, saying, "Brother Dafu, you've worked hard."

Dafu said with a smile, "I'm used to it now. I wouldn't be happy if I had to be idle!"

Zhong Yuan felt a little ashamed. "Brother Zong, do you think I'm a bit worse than Fu Zi?"

Zong Jia shook his head. “Jiang Li Ji’s situation is different from ours. You’ve made great progress too, have you forgotten? You’re the head steward of Yu Jia Technology!”

"Hehe." Zhong Yuan touched his slightly burning ears shyly. "Brother Zong, I'm embarrassed that you praised me in front of so many people."

Hu Jingxin said with a grin, "It's so rare to see A Yuan so shy!"

Everyone at the table burst into laughter. Li Guizhi smiled and said, "You kids are all very capable!"

Halfway through the meal, Jiang Xiaoli suddenly remembered, "Brother Dafu, where's Uncle Fu? Why didn't you call him to come up with us?"

Xiao Jincheng also realized, "Hey, yeah, where did Brother Fu go?"

Dafu waved his hand, "Don't bother looking for him. He's busier than me now. He's busy with chess, gardening, and raising birds. Today he went fishing in the suburbs with an old man from the building next door. He said he won't be back until tomorrow!"

Xiao Jincheng sighed, "Brother Fu really knows how to enjoy life!"

Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Uncle Xiao, don't envy Uncle Fu. You wouldn't be able to stand his lifestyle for more than a couple of days."

"Haha." Xiao Jincheng thought for a moment, "It's true, I'm just destined to be a workaholic!"
