"It's just too early now. I'm worried I'll forget it when I fall asleep."

Xie Jing yawned again as she spoke. She seldom stayed up late, but now that she had stayed up all night, she really couldn't take it anymore.

Zhou Jiyun took her phone and said, "I'll send it to you later. Just go to sleep."

Xie Jing naturally believed Zhou Jiyun, so within five seconds she fell asleep on his shoulder. Zhou Jiyun pulled her into his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

During the New Year holidays, the capital was like a deserted city, especially since they had left early, so there was no traffic jam. After driving for half an hour, Yun Xu and Yun Zhao's cars arrived at Bishui Jiayuan one after another.

Zhou Jiyun opened his eyes at the right time: "Villa No. 2, I asked the property management to help clean it up before."

Yun Xu whistled, "Villa No. 2? This isn't cheap, is it?"

Zhou Jiyun said calmly, "I spent almost two small goals back then. The housing prices in the capital have always been high, and the value here has been appreciating over the years, so it's not a loss at all."

Yun Xu: "Grandiose, is this the confidence of a business family? Are the units of measurement just small goals?"

Zhou Jiyun laughed: "No, I don't usually have high material desires. I used to buy properties everywhere to hedge against risks. But now the real estate market is dead, and I plan to gradually sell off the properties I have."

Yun Xu: "That's right. Healthcare, AI, new energy, etc. are the mainstream trends right now. Are you planning to do these in the future?"

Zhou Jiyun said calmly: "Rongsheng is originally a technology company."

Yun Xu slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, I almost forgot that your Zhou family's own company started out in real estate."

Zhou Jiyun: "The real estate business is definitely not going to work. If the Zhou family's company wants to transform, it will inevitably go through some painful times. But those are Zhou Jida's business. The company will be his from now on."

Yun Xu also thought of Zhou Jida: "That child is only six years old during the Chinese New Year. Can he bear it?"

Zhou Jiyun just smiled and said nothing. Some people just look young, but in fact their mental age has already matured.

Yun Xu didn't dwell on Zhou Jida any more, but instead found another topic: "Brother Fan has news. Fang Qin and Zhou Zhida are divorced."

Zhou Jiyun raised an eyebrow. "That's pretty quick. For Fang Qin, it's a timely way to cut losses. If I were to ask her, she should have divorced Zhou Zhida when he recognized his ancestral roots, so she wouldn't be under such a pressure now."

Yun Xu thought about it and said, "That's right. Now that Zhou Zhida and Zhou Jiwen have been imprisoned, Fang Qin's reputation is not good. It's worse than before... Alas, sometimes one wrong step leads to another."

Zhou Jiyun just smiled and said, "The house has been cleaned. Everyone, find a room to rest. When will your friends come, Brother Xu?"

Yun Xu chuckled, "Some of them have already replied to me, arriving around 9:30. As for Xiao Bo, it's about the same time, so we still have three hours of sleep."

Zhou Jiyun nodded: "Okay, since we're having a meal here, I'll talk to the property management and ask them to help buy the ingredients and send them to our home. Since there are so many people, why don't we all have hot pot for lunch? It's lively enough and not that troublesome."

Yun Xu: "I have no objection. What I want is for everyone to get together and have fun."

The car stopped at Villa No. 2, and Xie Jing didn't wake up. She had always had a good sleep quality. She used to have nightmares, but since marrying Zhou Jiyun, she had fewer and fewer dreams.

Even if it is windy and thundering, Xie Jing can sleep soundly.

Zhou Jiyun carefully carried Xie Jing out of the car. Yun Xu took Xie Jing's coat and said, "Go in quickly, don't catch a cold."

Zhou Jiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief after settling Xie Jing into her room. It's said that Chinese New Year should be a relaxing time, but for him and Xie Jing, it seemed even more tiring than usual.

They have to visit relatives and friends and have various social engagements. Although their relatives are around, compared with the quiet days for the two of them, the New Year holidays are undoubtedly more hectic.

When he came out, Yun Zhao, Yun Xu, Zhu Li and others had already walked around the entire villa. Yun Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "It's really nice to live here."

Yun Xu teased him, "With a family like ours, we'll never be able to live in a place like this. If they ever do, it's time for us to move in too."

Zhu Li was amused: "It's good that you've seen it. I don't have such high requirements for a house. Just enough to live in is fine."

Yun Xu twisted his lips. As the only single person, it was really difficult for him. Zhou Jiyun happened to come out, and Yun Xu didn't hesitate: "I'll choose the guest bedroom opposite yours. I'm going to sleep for a while. I'm so tired."

Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Okay, the bedding is all new, Zhao Ge and A Li, you guys can do whatever you want. I'll call the property management and I'll go to rest in a while."

Yun Xu yawned and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I really can't stand it any longer."

Soon Zhou Jiyun was the only one left in the living room. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. After making a phone call, he went back to his room to catch up on some sleep with Xie Jing. As for the message to Wang Cancan, he certainly wouldn't forget it.

Around nine o'clock, the alarm clock rang. Xie Jing frowned and crawled into the quilt. Zhou Jiyun turned off the alarm clock and saw that Xie Jing's brows relaxed. Then he smiled and went out to do his work.

At this time, the food that the property management had helped to purchase had also been delivered. Zhou Jiyun was sorting these ingredients, drinks and beverages one by one in the kitchen. If there was anything missing, he could place an order on his mobile phone and have it delivered by the nearest supermarket.

Yun Zhao was quite alert. After hearing the noise outside, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he went out to take a look. It must be said that after a few hours of sleep, he was indeed much more energetic.

"Do you need help?" Yun Zhao asked while standing outside the bar.

Zhou Jiyun was counting the ingredients. Hearing this, he just smiled sideways and said, "It's almost done. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Yun Zhao sat down outside the bar. "I can't sleep if there's any noise. Do we have enough ingredients? Should I go out and buy some more?"

Zhou Jiyun looked at the various hot pot ingredients piled up in the kitchen and said, "It should be almost there. I'll prepare some snack nuts. No need to go out to buy them. Just order online and they'll be delivered quickly."

Yun Zhao then changed the subject: "The friends who came today are mainly Yun Xu's friends. Most of my friends are in the army, and some have retired. It's just that we are all scattered all over the world, so we don't get together often."

Zhou Jiyun: "So you're not familiar with them either?"

Yun Zhao propped up his chin. "I've met them all before, but we didn't spend much time together. They were all from the same compound, so their families would always visit each other. After I became an adult, I had less contact with them."

Zhou Jiyun nodded: "Is that so? It's okay. We'll get used to each other after seeing each other a few more times."

Yun Xu came out in slippers. "Yes, we'll get familiar with each other after seeing each other a few times. You prepared so many ingredients? Are you feeding them to pigs?"

He saw all kinds of ingredients piled up in the kitchen at a glance, and Yun Xu felt a little dizzy.

Zhou Jiyun: "There are only five of us here, plus Brother Xu and Jingjing's friends. There must be more than a dozen people in total, right? If we don't prepare enough, there won't be enough to eat, and it will seem petty."
