There are many people attending the Ye family banquet today, probably more than 300 people in total. They need to prepare food for 300 people, and they don't have much time.
Fortunately, the seafood had already been processed at the research base, which saved a lot of time.
"Right now, what we need most are probably minced garlic and chili peppers, right? Preparing these ingredients takes a lot of time!" Nan Haochen said.
Ouyang Qian gasped. Yesterday, they had prepared a seafood feast for eight people, and the garlic and chili sauce had already given them quite a bit of trouble.
"A seafood feast for three hundred people? How long will it take us to prepare that?" Ouyang Qian asked.
Nan Xiangwan smiled and nodded, saying, "It is indeed a big problem!"
"But what does it matter? It's not like we're handling it!"
After she finished speaking, Ouyang Qian suddenly felt puzzled. What exactly did Nan Xiangwan mean by saying that?
"Sister, you wouldn't be..." Nan Haochen suddenly had a very ominous premonition.
As expected, no one knows a sister better than her brother. Nan Haochen immediately guessed Nan Xiangwan's thoughts.
"Of course! Do you want Qianqian and me to deal with all this minced garlic? Are you even human? You don't expect us to help you, do you?" Nan Xiangwan asked, frowning.
Nan Haochen was speechless for a moment. Ouyang Qian understood what Nan Xiangwan meant, so she simply put down the garlic clove she was holding and pushed the whole basket of garlic in front of Nan Haochen.
"Sister is awesome!"
Ouyang Qian walked behind Nan Xiangwan, and the two of them secretly smiled as they looked at Nan Haochen.
Nan Haochen was helpless. Wasn't the meaning already very clear? He was expected to process such a large bunch of garlic into minced garlic all by himself.
"Don't go too far!"
"Brother-in-law, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Nan Haochen wailed incessantly, naturally hoping that Zhan Siyu could help him.
Zhan Siyu glanced at the time and said expressionlessly, "No need to rush, it's only 8:15 now. The minced garlic needs to be fresh, so you can finish it around 12 o'clock. There's plenty of time!"
Nan Haochen thought Zhan Siyu would help him process the garlic, but he didn't expect Zhan Siyu to just check the time for him.
They even thoughtfully calculated the final deadline for him, leaving Nan Haochen speechless.
"You guys, don't go too far..." Nan Haochen had no way to express his bitterness.
But no matter how much he wailed, things still had to be done.
Besides, at this time, Nangong Chen went with Ye Chaoqun to find Old Master Ye, so he definitely couldn't help anymore.
While they were preparing a seafood feast, everything was proceeding smoothly and in full swing. Meanwhile, Nangong Chen and Ye Chaoqun had already entered the backyard and arrived at the garden where Old Master Ye usually spent his time.
Nangong Chen hadn't had much to talk about with Grandpa Ye lately, so he brought a set of chess pieces when he came over on the weekend.
After learning Go from him a few times, Grandpa Ye found this leisure activity particularly interesting and also a great way to exercise his brain.
"Grandpa, why are you playing chess again?" Ye Chaoqun asked.
He had played a few rounds of Go with Nangong Chen on the spaceship before, but he found it very boring.
Grandpa Ye said, "Chaoqun, I heard from Nangong that you studied Go with him before?"
Ye Chaoqun nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa, when it was really boring on the spaceship, I played a few games of Go with Nangong, but it was so boring! I really don't know why you guys like this kind of entertainment. I'd rather go for a walk in the Rose Garden!"
Hearing Ye Chaoqun's listless expression, Old Master Ye couldn't help but laugh.
"It's perfectly normal that this little girl doesn't like Go!"
"Nangong, if you ever want to play Go in the future, feel free to come find Grandpa anytime. I think this way of playing is particularly interesting!"
Grandpa Ye smiled again; he had become increasingly satisfied with Nangong Chen, his prospective son-in-law, lately.
Ye Chaoqun said helplessly, "Why don't you two talk? I don't think I can get a word in edgewise."
The atmosphere among the group was fairly harmonious, but Old Master Ye's purpose wasn't to invite Nangong Chen to play Go with him. The most important thing was to teach him the proper way to speak later.
After all, the guests attending the family banquet later are all older members of the Ye family, so we certainly can't lose face in front of them.
Even if they now recognize Nangong Chen, if the elders of the Ye family do not, it will definitely not be a good thing for either Nangong Chen or Ye Chaoqun.
"Nangong, come here!" said Old Master Ye.
He put down all the chess pieces in his hand, his face looking slightly serious.
"Elder Ye, is there anything you want to tell me?" Nangong Chen asked.
Old Master Ye said, "What time is it now? Why are you still calling me Old Master Ye? Shouldn't you be calling me Grandpa? The elders of the Ye family will be coming over soon, so don't embarrass our family."
"Of course, I know you're a sensible young man, so I'm very reassured!"
"But I still need to remind you that if you really want to be with Chaoqun, you have to consider his future!"
"The Ye family's business is vast, and it's impossible for just one or two people to support Chaoqun. You'll be inheriting half of the family business in the future. Without the approval of these elders, it's like losing the support of these families. Do you understand?"
The fact that Old Master Ye was willing to discuss Ye Chaoqun's future with Nangong Chen in this way proves that he has almost accepted Nangong Chen as a person.
Although he was an outsider, and although he was not a suitable match for the Ye family, Ye Chaoqun had indeed already decided on him.
Moreover, Old Master Ye highly regards Nangong Chen's abilities, so there's nothing to object to.
Old Master Ye was a man who had experienced many hardships, so he knew all of this was hard-won.
Nangong Chen was somewhat flattered. He never expected that Old Master Ye had come to talk to him about this matter.
"Grandpa, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I will treat Chaoqun well!" Nangong Chen said.
Ye Chaoqun, standing beside him, smiled happily. He never expected that Old Master Ye would say these words to Nangong Chen so sincerely.
“Grandpa, don’t worry, we will definitely live a very happy life. Moreover, Nangong has been changing for me recently. I believe we will definitely be able to make the Ye family business bigger and stronger!” Ye Chaoqun said.
In fact, Ye Chaoqun understood very well that her marriage to Nangong Chen did not mean that he was no longer responsible for the Ye family.
On the contrary, no matter who Ye Chaoqun marries, he has a responsibility to support the Ye family, because she is a child of the Ye family!
