The high monk said that Zizai was a benefactor to Yanhan, his father, bringing sunshine and warmth to Yanhan's rather gloomy life. Therefore, he gave Zizai the single character "Xu".
In fact, Yan Han never believed in these things, because his name was supposedly given to him by this so-called enlightened monk.
At the time, it seemed that their surname contained too much fire, which was considered too hot, so they chose the character "Han" (寒, meaning cold) to neutralize the fire and heat of their surname.
Now, Zizai's name is being used to make a name for himself, which is based on the character "Han" (寒). So, by the same logic, should Zizai's future children be named "Yu" (雨) or "Lu" (露)?
But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the high monk did not say that the "Xu" in Zizai's name came from the "Han" in his name, but rather from the coldness of his life. With this explanation, Yanhan felt that it was barely acceptable.
Moreover, at least this enlightened monk didn't fool everyone by giving Zai Zai a name like "Yan Huo Huo" (meaning "fiery fire"), which is already a great blessing!
As for Zhu Qianying, the mother, she was quite satisfied with the name Yanxu.
Thus, Zizai's formal name was decided.
In the Yan family genealogy, Yan Xu's name was officially recorded in the great-grandson section.
Since the Yan family returned to the old Yan family home, apart from the first day when the entire old Yan family gathered together without any outside interference, different faces have appeared in the old Yan family's living room every day since.
These faces, which Zhu Qianying, an ordinary person, usually only saw on television news, were now incredibly respectful to Old Master Yan, Young Master Yan, and even to Zizai. It was all so dreamlike, even more so than what happened on New Year's Eve.
But she knew perfectly well that all of this had actually happened. Later, Zhu Qianying increasingly regretted coming back with Zizai.
The thought of having to come into contact with these people from time to time for work or personal matters gave Zhu Qianying a terrible headache. Because, in the eyes of those prominent figures, she, Zhu Qianying, would henceforth be branded as the granddaughter-in-law of the Yan family.
But there's no going back in this world. Now that she's back, she has to stay with Yan Shao every day and pretend to be a loving couple in front of others. After a few days, even Zhu Qianying herself almost believed that she and Yan Han were really a loving and exemplary couple.
Having finally returned to L City from the capital, Zhu Qianying no longer had time to worry about her relationship with Yan Shao, because work at the jewelry store was piling up, leaving her no time to think about those romantic matters.
Yan Shao also officially started working after returning from the capital.
As for Zizai, it was officially decided during the Spring Festival that he would skip to the first grade after school starts, and his school start time is after the Lantern Festival.
The family quickly transitioned from a relaxed holiday state back to the hectic state of work or school.
Construction began on the day the design plan for the rented shop was finalized. As expected, Uncle Hai had his driver take him there every day to supervise the construction. By the time Chen Jing returned to L City from R City the day before the Lantern Festival, the shop's decoration project was already more than halfway complete. In another half month, the shop would be ready for use.
The leasing department of Yanhuang Group also handles the business of helping customers apply for licenses and permits. Zhu Qianying didn't have time to apply for the licenses and permits herself, and she didn't trust her mother to do it by herself, so she simply paid a handling fee and entrusted someone from Yanhuang to apply for the licenses and permits.
While the renovation is still ongoing, the people applying for permits have already started compiling documents and submitting applications. As for the name of the small shop, after consulting with her mother, Zhu Qianying simply named it "Jingjing Private Kitchen," which is simple, easy to remember, and coincides with the "Jingjing" in the online slang "I want to be quiet," making it simple yet profound.
After the holiday, everyone and everything in the Yan family and Zhu Qianying's area returned to normal in an orderly manner.
The Zhu and Yi families, who suffered heavy blows from public opinion and other aspects before the Spring Festival, will probably find it impossible to return to normal!
On the first trading day after the Spring Festival holiday, both Mingxuan Group and Yi's Group suffered the disastrous situation of their shares hitting the daily limit down.
On the morning of the opening day, many calls were made to Yanhuang to try and get information about Young Master Yan. By the afternoon, news spread that major banks had come to Yi's house to urge repayment.
As for the Mingxuan Group, its situation wasn't much better than the Yi family's. Because, as of the first trading day, the Mingxuan Grand Hotels in L City that had been seized were still under seizure.
The police told the Zhu Zhizhou father and son that, for the time being, they had not found any strong evidence to prove that Mingxuan Group was not related to this illegal organization or this illegal gathering.
Zhu Junwei, the current chairman and president of Mingxuan Group, is recovering well after more than ten days of treatment. However, he is still under constant police surveillance. Even when he meets with his family, it is done under the watchful eyes of at least two police officers, making it virtually impossible for him to exchange any confidential information.
Even so, Zhu Junwei still learned about the Yi family's misfortune from daily television and newspaper reports.
Of course, the newspaper reports wouldn't say that the Yi family had offended the Yan family or that the Yi family had fallen out with the Yan family, thus causing an economic crisis. They would only say that the two new general managers of the Yi family, Yi Chao and Yi Yang, had mismanaged the business and made poor decisions, resulting in a cash flow problem and triggering a series of issues.
But Zhu Junwei wasn't stupid. After recalling the series of events that happened to Mingxuan and himself after he fainted that night, and after pondering it for several days, he guessed that his conspiracy with Yi Wei to scheme against Young Master Yan had probably been exposed long ago.
Everything that night, including the subsequent events involving the Mingxuan Group and the Yi family, was entirely within Yan Shao's control and expectations.
In other words, Yan Shao had turned the tables on him and Yi Wei.
And the illegal organization that the police mentioned was actually connected to him by Young Master Yan!
These past few days, Zhu Junwei has been lying in his hospital bed, his mind replaying the details of his various interactions with Yan Shao over and over again.
Every time he recalled even a little bit, he became more and more terrified.
Thinking back on it this way, from the moment he first approached Young Master Yan using the Mingxuan Group's anniversary celebration as an opportunity, the other party had actually already noticed his intentions and had started to lay out plans little by little before him, then followed his train of thought to gradually approach him and gain his trust.
As his personal relationship with Yan Shao grew closer, Zhu Junwei believed he was getting closer to success. Little did he know that those connections were merely paving the way to his grave, bringing him ever closer to death...
