After having hot pot with her colleagues, Jiang Tong received news that they had all been invited to an awards ceremony. Everyone in her studio could attend, so Jiang Tong was also invited to show her face.
Jiang Tong was quite surprised because she was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award.
Others have also achieved some success.
Although their company is not particularly large, they don't have many illustrators.
However, their strength should not be underestimated.
The eldest brother always has an award, and he laughed and said, "It's just for fun."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Jiang Tong smiled along with her, feeling quite excited, though she still needed to order her evening gown.
There's not enough time now.
She plans to buy a set that isn't too expensive; she doesn't have the money for a custom-made one.
However, the matching jewelry is fine.
Jiang Tong has a lot of jewelry, all of which were gifts from Zhou Yuansheng's mother.
That's more than enough to handle any situation.
**
It's almost the end of the year.
Everyone started catching up with old friends.
Jiang Tong also took her two children and Zhou Jiaqi, her little shadow, to visit friends.
She was afraid that she would be very busy at the end of the year.
She sent out a bunch of gifts first; after all, it's never wrong to give too many gifts, and she hadn't seen her friends in a long time.
Yu Yaoqian was extremely busy, so Jiang Tong brought the children to pick her up from get off work that evening. There were gifts prepared for her in the car: a set of skincare products and a coat. She was so surprised that she hugged Jiang Tong and kissed her on the cheek.
Hanhan and Peipei both greeted her in unison, "Aunt Yao Qian!"
Zhou Jiaqi followed suit, speaking in a serious little voice, "Hello, Aunt Yao Qian!"
Yu Yaoqian was overjoyed when she saw the gift on the passenger seat. "Oh my god, thank you so much, Tongtong! How did you know I wanted this skincare set? My goodness, I couldn't bear to buy it, it costs several thousand yuan!"
She glanced back at the children and said perfunctorily, "Mwah, thank you too, my darlings. It's been so long! Jiang Tong, have you struck it rich? Buying skincare products worth several thousand yuan just like that? Wow, this coat is so high quality, it must have cost several thousand yuan too, right? And that bag from before!"
The last bag was sent to her by Jiang Tong, who filled in Yu Yaoqian's address directly, which surprised and delighted her. Today, she was given another surprise.
Yu Yaoqian held the two gifts with obvious delight, looking as if she was about to cry from gratitude.
Jiang Tong laughed uncontrollably, "Don't give me that, but I do have some money on hand right now, so don't be polite with me, just keep it safe."
She said she still had to treat her to a meal.
Yu Yaoqian put the gifts away and immediately said, "How can that be? My year-end bonus is quite substantial, so I have to treat everyone today, right, my darlings?"
After catching up with Jiang Tong, she finally had time to get closer to the children.
At first glance, he didn't think much of it, but then he suddenly turned around and saw one, two, three—three children?!
Yu Yaoqian patted her chest and exclaimed, "Holy crap, Tongtongbao, when did you have another baby? This is terrifying! Where did this child come from?"
Jiang Tong felt a little embarrassed. Actually, she had never mentioned being with Zhou Yuansheng to her friends, mainly because she really didn't know how to bring it up.
At first, she wasn't quite sure either.
I didn't tell my friends.
She posted it on her WeChat Moments before.
Her friends were also very busy at the time, and when they casually mentioned her, they just laughed it off.
No one asked any further questions.
Yu Yaoqian didn't realize at the moment that she hadn't connected the child with Jiang Tong's previous posts on social media.
Jiang Tong said, "This child's name is Zhou Jiaqi. Yes, he is my boyfriend's child."
She became nervous as she spoke.
Yu Yaoqian listened quietly, then suddenly yelled, "Eh???!!"
She looked at Jiang Tong in shock.
"Holy crap, I was just kidding, I never thought this was your child, but now you're telling me this kid might actually be your son in the future?!"
Yu Yaoqian was shocked to death.
She suddenly turned her head to look at the three kids in the back seat. Hanhan looked calm, Peipei was secretly smiling, and Zhou Jiaqi looked puzzled.
Yu Yaoqian couldn't say much in front of the child, so she could only suppress her shock and smile at Zhou Jiaqi, saying, "Ahem, hello little friend, I'm your Aunt Jiang Tong's good friend. Auntie was so excited, did I scare you?"
She changes her expression incredibly quickly.
Zhou Jiaqi obediently shook his head and said politely, "No, Auntie, don't worry, I'm very brave!"
The little brat said those words with confidence.
Hanhan and Peipei both burst out laughing.
Zhou Jiaqi blushed and muttered, "Why are you laughing? I'm already very capable."
Peipei retorted, "Yes, yes, yes, you were so scared by the ghost story that you insisted on sleeping next to my sister."
She rolled her eyes.
Zhou Jiaqi immediately grabbed Hanhan's hand and said in a childish voice, "That's different. Hanhan is also my sister! She said I can hold her hand if I'm scared."
Peipei retorted, "She's my sister! I don't want you to hold her hand!"
Zhou Jiaqi retorted, "But Hanhan said I can hold her hand!"
The two children looked like they were about to fight.
Hanhan glanced left and right, then spoke up in a crisp voice, warning, "Zhou Jiaqi! Peipei! Auntie is still here, and you're arguing! That's very impolite to a guest!"
She made them both apologize!
Zhou Jiaqi and Peipei each snorted and turned their heads away from each other, but they both said, "Auntie, I'm sorry."
Yu Yaoqian was stunned and couldn't help but say to Jiang Tong in surprise, "Unbelievable, Peipei still has a child who dares to argue with her? And why does she listen to Hanhan so much now?"
Hanhan used to be bullied and suppressed by Peipei because Xu Huaiyuan and the others sided with Peipei, which made Peipei arrogant.
Jiang Tong glanced at the child, then at her friend, and silently shook her head, indicating that they would talk about it privately next time.
Yu Yaoqian also tacitly agreed.
After arriving at the restaurant, the three kids played in the children's area while waiting for the food to be served.
Jiang Tong and her friend were finally able to chat.
After hearing about my friend's recent situation.
Yu Yaoqian was genuinely shocked. At first, she thought her friend was babysitting for free again. But after learning about Zhou Yuansheng's family background, she said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
She said cautiously, "My goodness, how did you end up with such a big shot? Are you sure there's no problem? These wealthy and powerful families are full of cunning people; you're not going to get scammed again!"
This person has completely broken away from their social circle. They're not even from the same social class.
As a mid-to-high-end real estate salesperson, Yu Yaoqian knows some wealthy young men, but they are just small-time tycoons.
She had never met any of the scions of wealthy and powerful families; she would never even come across them.
We're not from the same world.
Although she always talks about wanting to marry into a wealthy family, it's all just talk.
Who knew my friend would end up dating a wealthy CEO?!
Good heavens.
Yu Yaoqian really felt like she might be dreaming, otherwise how could her best friend become the girlfriend of a wealthy CEO?!
