"Then, what should we do? How am I supposed to tell Manager Hong about this? Are you going to help her?" Xu Qian immediately thought of Manager Hong's grandson. If that were the case, it wouldn't just be this child who could get a more detailed examination.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded in agreement, but she wasn't ready to back down yet. "But she's already made a mistake. If I go out of my way to help her, wouldn't that be aiding and abetting a wicked person? Didn't she ask you to gather information? You can tell her first that I was involved in the research."
"We'll talk about everything after the anniversary celebration. Only by ensuring the success of the anniversary celebration can I have the energy to engage in international exchanges."
Xu Qian understood Xu Zhaoyue's meaning, "Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely lay the groundwork well beforehand."
"Alright, we've finished talking. It's time for you two to have dinner. Would you please move to our restaurant? We just finished making some pastries. Miss Wang, please take a box home with you when you leave." Xiao Nan urged them to go eat.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Xiaonan." Xu Qian stood up to express his gratitude, and then went to have dinner with Xu Zhaoyue.
As Xu Qian was leaving, he looked at Xu Zhaoyue's face and sighed inwardly. It felt so unreal to see someone so outstanding in appearance and so capable standing in front of her.
“I was recruited as a researcher, and what I’ve learned has already made the people in the Second Department look at me differently. But your abilities are stronger than mine. If you can pursue further studies, you could even reach the level of a professor.”
"The Xu family is truly fortunate to have a young lady like you. It's just a pity that medical research hasn't found someone with your talent." Xu Qian was heartbroken that Xu Zhaoyue hadn't pursued a career in medical research.
Xu Zhaoyue understood what she meant, stepped forward and hugged her, saying, "Don't cry. Maybe one day when I'm done with my work, I'll go do research, and I'll definitely take you with me then."
"Okay, then you'd better remember this." Xu Qian was immediately amused by her promise and went home, composing himself as he did so.
After watching the car leave, Xu Zhaoyue returned to the hall and saw the maids carrying many plates of mooncakes. "It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't it?" Xu Zhaoyue asked Xiaonan.
"Yes, it's September 10th. Butler Xu asked the kitchens to try out a few new styles. Each kitchen was assigned a task. Butler Xu will decide how many styles to make after comparing them," Xiao Nan said.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded. Everyone would have a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but most of the servants were from the family and would be spending the holiday at the Xu family mansion. "Hey, why hasn't Lanxing come back yet?"
Xiao Nan didn't know how her mistress came up with the idea of Yue Lanxing from mooncakes, but she still answered seriously, "I don't know. She should be back by now. Maybe she wants to spend more time with her family?"
Xu Zhaoyue shook her head slightly. Under normal circumstances, this might be the case, but Yue Lanxing went back this time mainly to inquire about her background. He hasn't returned for so long, so something must have happened to him.
"Okay, if he comes back before you go to sleep, just let me know. If not, that's fine. Hmm, make a cup of coffee, I'm going to the study to look at some documents." Xu Zhaoyue gave these instructions and went to the study.
"Yes," Xiao Nan replied, but in her heart she was thinking that what her mistress meant was that she would have to wait for Yue Lanxing until almost midnight. This kid had better come back immediately. If he didn't let her mistress get a good night's sleep, she would definitely not let him off the hook.
Fortunately, Yue Lanxing returned relatively early. Xu Zhaoyue was still drawing blueprints in the study. Even if it was easy for her to buy a piece of equipment from the professor, the quality of the equipment would be greatly reduced. She needed to draw a draft first to know where there were any changes.
"Oh, why are you only coming back now? Miss has been waiting for you for ages. As soon as you got back, she asked if something happened. Honestly." Xiao Nan saw Yue Lanxing coming in from the front door on the second floor, so she waited at the top of the stairs to ask him a question.
"Huh?" Yue Lanxing was somewhat surprised, which lessened the look of disorientation on her face.
Yue Lanxing snapped out of her daze and immediately looked towards the young lady's room. "It was my fault, but it's not appropriate for me to see the young lady right now. Let's do it tomorrow..."
"No need, Miss isn't in the bedroom, she's in the study looking at documents. Go wash your face and go in to explain today's schedule. Don't let Miss worry, go quickly." Xiao Nan directed Yue Lanxing into the room.
"Okay!" Yue Lanxing initially felt that her current appearance was not suitable for the young lady to see, but when she thought that the young lady was waiting for her news, her heartbeat brought a sense of sensation to her entire body.
After washing her face, Yue Lanxing looked in the mirror again. Seeing that she looked pretty good, she felt relieved and went out.
"Knock knock knock." Yue Lanxing knocked on the door under Xiao Nan's urging gaze.
Xu Zhaoyue thought something had happened to Xiaonan. She went over and opened the door, and immediately saw Yue Lanxing standing in front of her. Her eyes immediately lit up with a smile.
"You're back?" Xu Zhaoyue asked, then immediately realized she'd asked a pointless question. To avoid embarrassment, she quickly ushered Yue Lanxing into the house. "Come in," she said, turning away and returning to her chair.
Yue Lanxing watched the young lady's hurried figure, which was quite adorable. After Yue Lanxing stepped into the study, she easily closed the door.
Xiao Nan looked at the door that had closed again and sighed silently. Neither of them realized there was someone else next to them.
"How was your trip back this time?" Xu Zhaoyue asked hesitantly. She was also anxious, and the sooner she knew the details, the more comprehensive her plans would be.
"Young Miss, I..." Yue Lanxing was about to speak when she found herself choked up and stopped talking.
Xu Zhaoyue noticed that something was wrong with him, so she quickly got up to check on him. Upon closer inspection, she realized that something was indeed amiss. "Let's sit on the sofa first. What happened?"
