When Mr. Nie passed away, celebrities from all walks of life came to pay their respects, but only those who had been invited could attend.
If we do that, won't the funeral home be overcrowded?
Nie Zhao was busy at the company, inviting people, and after seeing the news, some uninvited people came to pay their respects, so someone had to be there to receive them. Before Nie Jiajun returned, Chen Rou was in charge of receiving them.
When he returned, knowing that his wife wasn't good at it, Uncle Ming sent Nie Jiayu over to help her.
Today, those who came to visit after seeing the news were former poor friends whom Nie Rong had lost contact with after becoming successful.
In Chen Rou's view, those who did not contact Nie Rong when he was successful, but were willing to come to pay their respects after his death, were considered to be very loyal people. Chen Rou decided on the monetary gifts for these people himself, only folding a corner of the envelope before refusing to accept them, and arranged for the investors to treat them well. He also instructed the accountant to give each person a large red envelope.
She was certainly busy today, because even though the tomb had been repaired long ago, Uncle Ming had prepared a whole set of procedures, the Taoist priests and all the others were in place, and a large group of people from the company had come to assist her, there were still many ideas that Chen Rou needed to come up with.
By the way, not only were there dishes and various snacks ordered from the hotel, but also drinks, which were served as a buffet. However, the food that ordinary people eat at the funeral home was surprisingly delicious. Chen Rou ate two whole bowls of vegetarian noodles.
She was eating noodles in a room behind the accounting office on the side of the hall when suddenly someone knocked on the table.
Just as Chen Rou was about to look up, the person had already bent down: "What time is it? You're still eating?"
Chen Rou put down her chopsticks and saw several accountants standing at the door, smiling as they said, "Third Aunt, your uncle has arrived. Shall we greet him?"
When distinguished guests arrive, it is customary for the filial son to come out and greet them.
If Chen Ke is Chen Rou's cousin, then he is a distinguished guest. He came with Yue Zhongqi.
Chen Rou gestured for the accountants to go about their business, saying, "Let's chat for a bit first. Tomorrow is the actual day."
Chen Ke said, "We're not busy these days, so we came to see if we need any help."
Yue Zhongqi leaned closer and raised his wrist: "What if your family starts fighting over the inheritance? Look at me, I'm really tough."
He's watched too many TV dramas and thinks that in wealthy families, everyone fights over inheritance when an elderly person dies.
In reality, to ensure the harmony of the funeral, wealthy families usually wait until after the funeral to announce their wills. Besides, Nie Rong's family property has been mostly divided up, so there's nothing for the family to make a fuss about.
Chen Ke came a day early because he hadn't seen A Yuan in a long time, and since tomorrow was the weekend, he couldn't wait and came early. Yue Zhongqi, who loved excitement, came to join in the fun.
And as for him, it's no wonder that the little chili pepper from his past life always loved to scold him.
He has a fatal flaw: at home he's incredibly sweet-talking, but he doesn't like staying at home.
Whenever he had free time, he would run around looking for comrades-in-arms and subordinates, wandering around and chatting aimlessly, completely neglecting his family.
Chen Ke was already standing on tiptoe to look into the auditorium, but then he asked, "Where's A-Yuan?"
He frowned again upon looking around: "Where's his father? Is he sick?"
Chen Rou also thought that Nie Zhao was too scared to come last night, but actually he was busy manipulating the stock price at the company, which she didn't know. So she whispered, "He was a little tired from making a scene last night and is resting."
The only thing Chen Ke disliked about his son-in-law was that he was a coward.
However, his merits outweigh his flaws, and overall he is still a very good person.
Chen Ke didn't care how unhappy Nie Zhao was; all he wanted to do now was find A Yuan.
Accompanied by Chen Rou, they entered the room. Since they had different beliefs, they didn't offer incense; a bow was enough.
The clients were all under Secretary An's command, so of course they knew Chen Ke. Chen Rou only needed to nod, and they would know what to do.
In a separate lounge, Ahui and two nannies were outside, while Lixia and the wet nurse were inside.
A-Yuan is eating again, and Li Xia is feeding him again.
Ah Yuan was telling his nanny and grandmother what happened last night. A child gave him a big diamond ring, but what he gave the child was a piece of candy that was even bigger than the diamond ring. However, the candy was gone, and so was the diamond ring.
Ah Yuan felt it was unfair, so he repeatedly said, "It's a fan, and mine is bigger, super big."
The candy was bigger than the diamond, and in A Yuan's eyes, the little girl Li Meijia had taken advantage of him, which he felt was unfair.
Li Xia took advantage of the child's open mouth to feed him a bite of snack, saying, "Yes, our A Yuan's is bigger."
In order to speak, A-Yuan had no choice but to swallow the food and then say, "I want more, I want more, I want more fat."
Li Xia said with a smile, "Yes, we want it back."
When two mainland police officers arrived, the nanny went out. Since she was taking care of the child, she could only rest during her spare time.
Others might not be able to say, but Chen Ke had to remind his wife: "You can't do this, the child will get indigestion."
Li Xia said, "He hadn't eaten for a while, so I fed him a small piece."
Although Chen Ke didn't know much about taking care of children, he at least knew: "You have to feed him three meals a day, and you also have to leave time for digestion. If you feed him too much, he won't have time to digest, and he will get indigestion. Indigestion can cause fever, which is very troublesome."
When Li Xia was a child, children only experienced hunger, not indigestion, and she had no experience with this.
Nie Zhao was too embarrassed to say it, Chen Rou hadn't noticed, and others were even less likely to speak up. As for Li Xia, she would only stay at the Nie family's house for one night at most, so even if she did something wrong, everyone would turn a blind eye and no one would say anything.
But the thought that indigestion would cause fever and illness made Li Xia a little scared.
