After returning from B City, Shen Du didn't mention Yuanbao's disappearance to the old man at all. Since the child had already been found, bringing it up would only cause the old man unnecessary worry, so it was better not to say anything.
Work is still very busy. After returning from his trip, he threw himself into his work, and Yang Xu also worked overtime with him.
Lin Yi found a free moment and dragged Yang Xu into a corner again.
"Where did you and President Shen go? Why were you being so secretive?"
Yang Xu knew he was going to ask about this, so he turned around to leave, but Lin Yi suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
He said with a curious look, "Tell me about it, I'm so curious!"
Yang Xu said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but this is President Shen's private matter. He hasn't said anything, so how dare I? We still need to be careful about confidentiality when it comes to work."
Lin Yi didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore, but he was still very curious about this matter and couldn't stop wondering about it.
Meanwhile, Chen Du was having a meeting with senior management. Recently, the company in the B City branch had encountered some operational problems. The matter was neither too big nor too small, but the question was who to send to handle it.
Just as everyone was arguing, Chen Du suddenly spoke up: "I'll go."
The previously noisy conference room suddenly fell silent. Someone said, "President Chen, it's nothing serious, you don't need to go. I'll go instead."
"Yes, I'm fine with going too."
The others thought that Shen Du was angry because they were shirking responsibility, so he decided to go by himself. But Shen Du thought about Yuan Bao's recent situation. Ye Feng was still in the hospital, and Ye Zhao must be too busy lately. It would be good for him to go and take care of the child and deal with the branch company's affairs at the same time.
Just as everyone was saying they would go, Chen Du stood up and said without room for argument, "Alright, I'll go."
The group exchanged glances and fell silent until Chen Du left the office, at which point they began to discuss the matter in hushed tones.
"Is President Shen angry?"
"It doesn't look like it!"
"I hope you're not angry, or I'll be in trouble again."
"It can't be that bad."
Who knows?
Shen Du ignored the discussion behind him. He wasn't angry about such a small matter at all. He was just thinking about whether to bring the old man along so that he could get to know Yuanbao better.
Back in the office, Yang Xu was organizing some documents for him. He said to Yang Xu, "Get ready. We're going to B City tomorrow. It might take about two weeks."
Yang Xu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Okay, Mr. Shen."
Remembering the branch office matters, Chen Du added, "When you go there, you should also take care of the branch office matters. You can hand them over to Xie Yao and bring all the documents with you."
"OK."
After packing his things, Yang Xu said goodbye to Chen Du and went out.
When he went to find Xie Yao, she was busy with work. Upon hearing this, she paused for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I'll finish organizing everything for you."
Lin Yi, who happened to be nearby, overheard this and asked, "Why are you suddenly being given the branch's information and assigned to handle it?"
Yang Xu shook his head upon hearing this: "How could that be? How could I possibly handle such a large branch? It's President Shen who wants to go personally."
Lin Yi asked in surprise, "President Shen is going?"
Yang Xu simply nodded and began handing over his work to him.
Lin Yi listened only halfway. He knew about the branch's situation, and although it was serious, it didn't seem like it required President Shen's personal attention. He remembered that they had rushed to B City a few days ago. What was it about B City that made President Shen go there so many times? Could he be keeping a mistress? But that didn't seem likely.
Yang Xu didn't bother with his gossipy thoughts and hurriedly went to attend to other matters after handing over his work.
At this moment, Ye Zhao was playing with Yuanbao in the Yan family's garden.
After not seeing her for many days, Yuanbao became unusually clingy, wanting to do everything with her.
Seeing Yuanbao squatting in the sandbox playing in the sand, Ye Zhao suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken him to the amusement park in a long time, so she asked, "Baby, do you want to go to the amusement park?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanbao looked up at her with a delighted expression, his eyes shining brightly. He nodded expectantly, "Yes, baby wants to go!"
Ye Zhao smiled, glanced at the sky, and said gently, "How about we go tomorrow?"
Little Yuanbao obediently replied, "Okay, Mommy."
Ye Zhao smiled and looked at him with a gentle expression.
Suddenly her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Aze calling. This kid had been quiet for a while, why did he suddenly think of calling her today?
Ye Zhao answered the phone with a puzzled look: "Hello? Aze?"
Jiang Ze's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Zhao Zhao, where are you?"
Ye Zhao slowly replied, "I've been in B City for the past two days..."
Jiang Ze's somewhat regretful voice came through: "Why did you go to B City again? I was just saying I was going to come and see you."
Ye Zhao asked gently, "What's wrong? Bored at home?"
Jiang Ze's muffled voice came through: "Yeah..."
After saying that, he remembered something and his tone became lighter again: "By the way, Zhao Zhao, my brother said you're dating him, is that true?"
His question was far too direct. Even over the phone, Ye Zhao blushed and stammered, "Yes...yes, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ze sounded very happy: "I told you, you'd be my sister-in-law sooner or later, what do you think? My brother's not bad, is he?"
Ye Zhao: "...Not bad, not bad."
The way that kid said it was rather embarrassing.
Jiang Ze was overjoyed to have Ye Zhao become his sister-in-law. He chatted with Ye Zhao for a long time before finally remembering Yuanbao and awkwardly asking, "Where's the little brat?"
Ye Zhao had just turned on speakerphone when Yuanbao overheard the conversation. He stood up and walked over menacingly, saying to Jiang Ze on the phone, "Uncle Aze is a bad guy, don't call me a little brat!"
"I'll call out, I'll call out, hee hee hee..."
Ye Zhao rolled her eyes, speechless.
Little Yuanbao angrily said into the phone, "Uncle Aze is the one who's a little brat, so childish."
Jiang Ze pursed his lips and asked, "Little brat, have you missed me these past few days?"
Yuanbao: "Why should I miss you?"
He pouted as he spoke, looking quite smug.
Jiang Ze felt a pang of disappointment: "Well, I guess I was just being presumptuous."
Yuanbao didn't understand and looked up at Ye Zhao with a puzzled expression.
Ye Zhao smiled but said nothing.
Jiang Ze didn't hear a reply, so he asked again, "Zhao Zhao, you'll be coming back in a couple of days, right?"
Ye Zhao thought of Ye Feng and nodded: "Yeah, in a few days."
"Okay, contact me again when you get back."
After hanging up the phone, Yuanbao pouted and complained to Ye Zhao about Jiang Ze, her disgusted look making Ye Zhao laugh.
Just as the mother and son were having a pleasant conversation, the phone on the table rang again.
Ye Chao picked it up and saw that it was an unexpected person, Chen Du.
