After everyone was seated, Li Weiya called the waiter to serve the dishes.
Hongfu Eight Delights Platter, Baked Lobster with Pickled Peppers, Abalone, Sea Cucumber and Fish Maw Soup, Garlic Abalone, Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions, Stir-fried Crab Leg Meat in a Typhoon Shelter Style, Popular Roasted Whole Chicken, Spicy King Knuckle, Grouper with Scallion Oil, Cordyceps Flower in Golden Broth, and Beijing Roast Duck.
Each dish was a grand feast.
Jiang Xia got up, picked up a soup ladle, and made a bowl of cordyceps soup for his parents and mother-in-law. Li Weiya insisted on doing it herself, so Jiang Xia had no choice but to give up.
"Viya, are you used to life in the capital?" Xia Shanshan asked, taking a sip of the delicious cordyceps soup.
"It's been two years. Even if I wasn't used to it at first, I've gotten used to it," Li Weiya said with a smile.
"Too."
“I told Xia that since you’ve come all this way to the capital, you should take a break and spend some time with me. I’ll take care of things at the company.”
Jiang Wende immediately shook his head: "No, no, we don't need him to accompany us. If he has work to do, he can do it himself."
He was afraid of disturbing his son.
Jiang Xia said with some helplessness, "Dad, I'm not as busy as you think. Besides, you'll need a local tour guide when you go on vacation, won't you?"
"How much is a tour guide worth?" Jiang Wende glared at him.
“Dad, because we rarely come home, Jiang Xia just wants to spend time with you,” Lin Yanwan said, seizing the opportunity.
Hearing his daughter-in-law say that, Jiang Wende felt embarrassed to continue arguing with her, and hesitantly said, "Then I'll stay for two days at most, and then I'll go back to work."
"Okay, Dad."
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xia Shanshan felt bad about throwing away the unfinished food and wanted to pack it up to take home. Jiang Xia firmly refused, saying that the trunk was already full and there was no room left.
Xia Shanshan, as his mother, muttered a few curses under her breath about him being a spendthrift.
"Dad, Mom, do you want to go back and rest first, or do you want to check on the company first?" Jiang Xia asked.
Jiang Wende pondered for a moment and said, "Is your company far from here? If it is, let's do it another day."
He originally didn't want to come to the capital, fearing he would disturb his son's work, but he wanted to see how his son's company was doing, so he came anyway.
After paying the bill, Li Weiya came over and happened to hear this. She pointed to the two twin towers, A and B, of Tsinghua Science Park not far away and said, "Brother Jiang, do you see those two tall buildings? The one on the right is the one. It's just a few steps away."
"Won't this disturb other people's work?"
"Dad, you're the leader on inspection, so you can help me see if there's anything I haven't done well enough," Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"Don't flatter me. I'm just an old man who doesn't know anything. I just need to see what the company is like."
"Shall we go take a look?"
“Let’s go take a look,” Jiang Wende said without hesitation.
The thought of seeing his son's company soon filled the old father with excitement.
A few minutes later, Jiang Xia drove to the company's underground parking garage. He pressed the button for the fifteenth floor, and the elevator suddenly opened when it reached the first floor. At that moment, a company employee squeezed in.
He looked up and saw the boss and his wife were there, along with Li Weiya and Wang Ming. There was also a middle-aged woman whose face shape was somewhat similar to Jiang Xia's. Could this be President Jiang's mother?
He froze, and was about to back out when the elevator doors slowly closed. He forced himself to say, "Hello, President Jiang, President Lin, President Li."
Jiang Xia nodded casually: "You're from D-Station's marketing department, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Keep up the good work."
Jiang Wende and Xia Shanshan exchanged a glance, feeling inexplicably proud.
The elevator doors opened on the fifteenth floor, and as soon as Jiang Wende stepped out of the elevator, he felt enveloped in an atmosphere of animation elements.
Tom and Jerry, Pokémon, Slam Dunk, and Let's & Go!! are currently the four pillars of Qitian Animation. However, Tom and Jerry is still the most profitable, as Pokémon and Let's & Go!! were launched too late and haven't started to gain momentum yet.
"This floor is for Qitian Animation, while DiliDili is upstairs," Jiang Xia explained.
"The entire floor is like that?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wende's eyes widened. "My goodness! One whole floor! How big must that be? And two floors at that?"
"right."
"How much...are you here?"
"It's about 1,500 square meters, and the rent is cheap. I'm offering a student startup rate of two yuan per square meter per day, which is only about 100,000 yuan per month," Jiang Xia said.
Cheap, only...
Jiang Wende swallowed hard; he had worked hard as a taxi driver for a year and that was all he earned.
Forget it, let's not compare. The son is far more successful than the father.
Jiang Wende followed his son around, and employees kept greeting him. Jiang Xia invited him to sit in the office and have a cup of tea, but the old father kept shaking his head because he wouldn't understand anything inside and didn't want to disturb others' work.
Ji Wanqiu, on the other hand, took out her phone and took many photos. She even went to the Tom and Jerry project team to see how they usually worked.
After all, the businesses around the house are closely tied to Qitian Animation. In fact, many of the animation elements you see on this floor are provided by Gaoyuan Toys.
There's a natural sense of warmth and familiarity about it.
After visiting the four studios below Qitian Animation, the group went upstairs to see the legendary D-site.
DiliDili is a completely different type of company from Qitian Animation. Therefore, in Jiang Wende's eyes, the difference is that DiliDili is more like a typical Internet technology company, with very detailed departments, more employees than Qitian Animation, and more complicated work content.
Seeing that both companies were developing in an orderly manner, Jiang Wende felt immediately satisfied.
