Zhu Qianying readily nodded, and the three of them quickly sat down at the small bar on the first floor.
Little Zhu Qianyu doesn't drink alcohol, so she obediently poured a glass of orange juice for the two little rascals, Beibei and Guoguo, while Zhu Qianying and Ji Huan opened a bottle of red wine.
Zhu Qianying thought that Ji Huan was just looking for her to chat. After all, although she had a very good impression of Ji Huan, the two had only met a few times and were not close friends.
Even though Ji Huan is still stationed at the production base in L City, and the two are in the same city, he had said that she could come to him if she needed anything. However, Zhu Qianying is not the type to bother people, so thinking that he was busy, she had not taken the initiative to ask him out during this period.
The two didn't have much interaction, so when Ji Huan pushed a stack of documents in front of her, Zhu Qianying was completely baffled.
"What's this?"
Zhu Qianying pressed her fingers against the stack of documents, but didn't rush to flip through them.
"The share transfer agreement for Mingxuan Hotel!" Ji Huan didn't keep them in suspense and revealed the answer directly.
Zhu Qianying was greatly surprised. Although she hadn't fully understood Ji Huan's true meaning, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she lowered her head and opened the documents.
As Ji Huan said, this was a share transfer agreement for 5% of Mingxuan Group's shares. The transferor was Ji Huan, but the transferee was not "Zhu Qianyu" as Zhu Qianying thought, but Zhu Qianying herself.
"Ji Huan, I don't quite understand what you mean. The recipient... was it a mistake?"
Ji Huan is Xiao Yu's lover, so it's understandable that he transferred his shares to Xiao Yu, but transferring them to her, his future sister-in-law, is just not right.
Ji Huan said very seriously, "No, that's right, it's you! This is our Ji family's wedding gift to you."
Zhu Qianying was even more surprised, "Ji Huan, this gift is too valuable, I can't accept it!"
Ji Huan seemed to have anticipated her reaction, and reached out to pat her shoulder, saying something else.
“Shadow, listen to me. I bought these 5% of the shares when Mingxuan Group’s stock price was at its lowest point. At that time, Mingxuan’s stock price had fallen to its lowest point. I bought them in several installments, and the total value wasn’t much. To me, it was just a small amount of money, but to you and Xiaoyu, these shares have special significance.”
Even though Ji Huan said that, Zhu Qianying still felt it was inappropriate. She pressed the transfer document against her hand and pushed it back in front of Ji Huan.
“Ji Huan, isn’t this a bit inappropriate? Why don’t you give this to Xiao Yu?”
Although Zhu Qianying really wanted those five percent of the shares, what reason did she have to accept them?
The saying goes, "One should not accept rewards without merit." She only became involved with the Ji family and Ji Huan because of Xiao Yu. The Ji family has been extremely kind to her and her mother, which is evident from how the entire Ji family protected her at the Yan family today.
But Xiaoyu is just Ji Huan's girlfriend. Strictly speaking, even Xiaoyu has no real relationship with the Ji family, let alone her.
She couldn't accept such a huge favor from someone for no reason!
Zhu Qianyu, who had been leisurely sipping her juice, became anxious when she saw her sister's insistence. She put down her cup, wanting to say something, but Ji Huan grabbed her hand and gently patted the back of it, indicating that she shouldn't worry and that he would handle it.
Ji Huan pushed the documents back in front of Zhu Qianying. "Yingzi, Xiaoyu has grown up safely in the Zhu family all these years. Your contribution is greater than anyone else's. I understand your good intentions and am very grateful. Of course, I hope that you and Yan Shao will be happy in the future, but if something really happens, this 5% share can also provide a guarantee for your and Aunt Jing's life."
Ji Huan had spent some time with Zhu Qianying and could tell from her behavior that she had a very strong sense of self-respect and would not easily accept charity or gifts from others. However, he and Xiaoyu were indeed worried about her, so they wanted to give her some reassurance in this way.
Upon hearing his words, Zhu Qianying realized that if she were to refuse him again in a coy manner, she would be ruining his sincere intentions.
"Alright, I'll keep these shares for now, consider them as your betrothal gift to Xiaoyu, okay?"
Ji Huan didn't care what the gift was given under; he only cared about the result.
"Okay, okay, whatever you think it is, is what it is."
Seeing Zhu Qianying sign her name on it, Ji Huan and Zhu Qianyu both breathed a sigh of relief.
The equity transfer agreement had all the formalities completed a few days ago. The transferor and notary had all signed their names, and the transfer date was written as a few days ago. As soon as Zhu Qianying signed her name, the transfer agreement became effective immediately.
Since the date of this transfer agreement was before Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao got married, it is considered Zhu Qianying's premarital property.
Of course, Ji Huan did not expect that Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao had not registered their marriage by this morning. He simply assumed that someone as wealthy as Yan Shao would not be so concerned about such a small amount of shares with Zhu Qianying.
Ji Huan was only thinking from Zhu Qianyu's perspective as her younger sister. In case something happened to Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao's marriage, she still held 5% of Mingxuan's shares, so at least her and her mother Chen Jing's lives would be guaranteed.
"Ji Huan, thank you, and thank you to your family!"
Zhu Qianying put down her pen, picked up her cup and handed it to Ji Huan, saying, "I will remember your kindness. I won't say any more polite words. This cup of wine is my toast to you!"
After finishing her sentence, Zhu Qianying tilted her head back and drank the small half-glass of red wine in one gulp.
“Shadow, you are Xiaoyu’s older sister, but I consider you my younger sister. You and Aunt Jing can come to me if you need anything in the future. If it’s inconvenient to talk to me, you can go directly to my mother. My mother knows more about women’s matters than I do.”
Ji Huan truly admired and respected Zhu Qianying. Over the past few days, through work-related interactions, his understanding of Yan Shao had gradually increased. With more understanding, he could vaguely guess Yan Shao's attitude towards this marriage.
Although he couldn't be sure if this guess was 100% accurate, at least, the current relationship between Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao was far from as good or as optimistic as that silly Zhu Qianyu thought!
Zhu Qianyu chimed in, "Yes, sister, you should tell us everything that happens in the future. I'm not a child anymore. I can help you with anything!"
Zhu Qianying poured herself another half glass of wine and clinked it against Xiaoyu's glass of orange juice. "Alright, I got it! I'll definitely let you know if anything comes up in the future, okay, future Director Zhu!"
Zhu Qianyu's dream is to become a director, and she is now taking steps toward that dream. Recently, she has been preparing to film a web series, which is why Zhu Qianying teased her like that.
