Chen Rou arrived earlier than Nie Zhao had expected.
She doesn't like changing clothes all the time. Today she wore a light blue suit, which she could wear for both meetings and religious ceremonies, so she didn't change. After leaving the meeting, she went straight back to the Nie family home, upstairs, to participate in the religious ceremony.
A Yuan is two and a half years old. When he was born, he lived on the entire floor for a month, and it is still empty now.
However, it's not entirely empty. In the past two years, Nie Zhao has replaced various medical equipment upstairs and added a lot of emergency equipment. It's no exaggeration to say that if Nie Rong were to move in now, the facilities would be complete.
But of course, all of that wasn't prepared for Nie Rong. Nie Zhao, who was afraid of death, thought that if he had any acute accident and couldn't get to the hospital in time, he could get emergency treatment in this building.
A-Yuan was running around and playing in the corridor with his nanny.
Because Nie Jiajun and Nie Jiayu had been driven away, only Nie Han and Nie Zhao were kneeling on the ground.
Chen Rou knelt down next to Nie Han, then immediately turned around with a smile and asked, "How did it feel to attend the opening ceremony?"
Chen Rou didn't seem to feel anything, only saying, "It's alright, nothing special."
Nie Han knew that Xi Niang had always wanted to meet the Korean chaebol heiress, so she asked again, "Where is she?"
Speaking of that person, there's an interesting little story: Cai Mingli switched jobs to South Korea and works at that young lady's company. He came along this time and also acts as her translator.
Chen Rou's English is now quite good, and she can communicate directly with the young lady, but she doesn't show it. Instead, she lets Cai Mingli talk nonsense and ramble on. He deliberately distorts the truth and says things like Mrs. Nie looks down on the Korean conglomerates and thinks their products are inferior. This makes the young lady from Korea very angry, and the atmosphere becomes very unpleasant.
Chen Rou mainly wanted to attend the farewell and burial ceremony for her mother-in-law, and also wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she let him talk nonsense.
As the young lady got up to take her leave, Chen Rou suddenly praised the products produced under the young lady's supervision in English, praising them exceptionally well, and invited her to dinner that evening.
In this way, Cai Mingli's smear campaign and deliberate distortion will be completely refuted.
The young lady warmly accepted Chen Rou's invitation, saying that they would have dinner together that evening.
Chen Rou gave a brief explanation, and then said to Nie Han, "Let's go tonight, and have dinner together."
Nie Han nodded, then suddenly smiled: "That young lady has no flaws except for her taste in men."
There is more than just competition between women. In fact, an outstanding woman is one who first discovers the strengths rather than the weaknesses of other outstanding women, and only then can she continuously improve and reach new heights.
Putting aside other aspects, the South Korean young lady's artistic taste, like Nie Han's, is cultivated from growing up in a wealthy family, being influenced by her surroundings, and receiving specialized training.
The aesthetics of the products under her supervision far surpass those of other companies.
Chen Rou doesn't mind making a friend and also wants Nie Han to chat and learn together.
Chen Rou found the various rituals and rules of Hong Kong people's religious ceremonies tedious. She was kneeling there listening to the chanting, while Nie Zhao and Nie Han had been listening all morning and were still listening. But she became impatient after kneeling for a while.
Looking around, in the center was a blue-green seated Bodhisattva, about one and a half feet tall. Beneath the seat was the memorial tablet of Han Yuzhu and Nie Zhen, a married couple, which the monk had brought from Lianhua Temple. Below it were the names of their filial sons and grandsons.
Nie Shenyuan's given name was derived from his courtesy name, Nie Shen.
According to the nun, although A-Yuan may seem like a well-behaved child at first glance, he is born with the element of metal, which means he has a sharp and outspoken personality. He is bold, adventurous, and dares to think and act. Therefore, it is best to remind him to be cautious.
During religious ceremonies, one doesn't kneel the whole time; one must stand up from time to time to pick up and burn paper money, offer libations, and kowtow.
After getting up and kowtowing, Nie Zhao suddenly turned around and knelt down next to his wife.
Then, turning his head, he said, "You don't have to kneel."
Chen Rou turned her head, her eyes sharp: Why didn't you say so earlier?
But she said, "It's okay, it's only right that I kneel down."
In this kind of ritual, one has to kneel for a whole day from beginning to end, because there are more rituals to perform on the mountain.
Nie Zhao said in a soft voice, "You really don't need to kneel, because I didn't list your name."
List the names of those who came to participate in the ceremony. Nie Zhao didn't write Chen Rou's name, so wasn't she kneeling here for nothing?
But that doesn't make sense. Why didn't he write her name in the memorial service for his mother-in-law?
However, Nie Zhao's idea was actually very simple: he would find it too tiring for his wife to kneel all day, so he didn't sign her name.
But just as Chen Rou was about to stand up, Nie Zhao suddenly asked again, "Arou, what is your wish?"
So, he probably meant that he could make a wish to his mother-in-law and have her fulfill his wish on his behalf.
Unfilial descendants are not respectful to their elders when they are alive, but after their elders die, they become wishing wells, always thinking that as long as they burn a few pieces of paper money and kowtow, their elders can fulfill any unreasonable request.
If it were the Chen Rou of the past, she would have hoped that Li Xia would have a child, but upon further reflection, she felt that it didn't really matter or need to, because Li Xia, unlike her, didn't have the accumulation and experience of thirty years from her previous life.
Li Xia was making her way in the world entirely on her own, and compared to being a mother, being the general manager or chairman of a clothing company was far more meaningful. So after thinking for a moment, Chen Rou asked, "Does a peaceful return count?"
It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva has thirty-three forms, thirty-two Dharma forms plus her original form.
