When Zizai saw his father get the short end of the stick, he laughed happily.
"Daddy, Mommy doesn't want to talk to you! You should save your breath!"
Yan Shao glared at him fiercely, then reached out and slapped the little butt that was sticking out a few times.
"Little brat, stop gloating!"
But despite his scolding, the force with which he hit the little guy's bottom was as light as a tickle.
Zizai laughed even louder, burrowing into Zhu Qianying's arms like a groundhog!
It's only been thirty or forty minutes since the car left the hospital, and the azure sea can be seen in the distance ahead.
"I didn't expect it to be so close!" Zhu Qianying said, somewhat surprised.
As a native of L City, Zhu Qianying had always known that there was such a coastal area here, but she had never been here before because she had heard that it was a private area. So, it was the territory of the Yanhuang Group?
"How far do you think it is?"
"It's a journey of one or two hours or more..."
"How could that be? If it's that far, Qin Xiu would have to fly to work."
"Hahaha, flying a plane... Hahaha, Daddy, you're so funny..." Adults can never quite understand what children are funny.
Young Master Zizai was unaware that the Yan family also owned a helicopter, but he considered flying a plane to be something unattainable.
As the three were talking, the car had already entered the villa community called "Wanghaiju".
"Actually, this used to be the Tong family's private cargo dock. Later, it was abandoned, and the Yanhuang Group leased the right to use it and built this villa community."
Yan Shao then began to explain some internal matters of the Yanhuang Group and Tongjia Village. This time, Zhu Qianying did not pretend not to hear, but instead chimed in.
"I've heard about that. The Tong family established a shipping company and built the dock elsewhere. Was this the predecessor of the dock?"
Yan Shao nodded. "Yes, the scenery here is very beautiful. It would be a waste to use it as a dock. Moreover, it is a bit far from the highway entrance. As a cargo dock, the transportation connections are not as convenient as the new dock."
After Yan Shao mentioned it, Zhu Qianying remembered that Yan Shao had told her that many of the industries in Tongjia Village in the past ten years or so had been gradually transformed into formal companies, and this shipping company should also be considered one of them.
"It sounds like a huge project."
Although Zhu Qianying had never been involved, she could guess from her imagination how much effort Yan Shao had put into this over the years.
"It is indeed a massive undertaking. Our original plan for this transformation process, from relocation to transformation, was to take at least eight to ten years. Now, we have entered the fifth year, and the results are quite good."
Not only is it good, but the Tong family's shipping company has now basically monopolized most of the related shipping business in L City and even the surrounding cities.
Saying it's good is just Yan Shao being modest.
"Wow! Daddy, all these villas belong to our family?"
Zizai's little head, along with Zhu Qianying's, was filled with a lot of information, and after digesting it, he came to a very intuitive conclusion.
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying were both taken aback for a moment. Then, Yan Shao smiled and patted Zizai's head, "Well, theoretically, that's a correct way to understand it!"
The right to use here is a rental agreement, but it's just a way for Yan Shao to make it easier for Zhu Qianying to understand.
In fact, this Wanghaiju is a shared property between the Tong family and the Yanhuang Group.
The Tong family provided the land, so they own half of the shares, while the other half is owned by the Yanhuang Group.
The Yan family owns about 60% of the shares in the Yanhuang Group, so before this villa area was sold, Young Master Yan held nearly 80% of the shares here.
Therefore, young master Zizai's understanding is indeed correct.
"So, can we pick our favorite apartment to stay in?"
Zizai looked very happy and nimbly climbed onto Yan Shao's body, then leaned against the window and stared wide-eyed at the villas that flashed by.
Yan Shao was equally delighted, because it seemed that he had already achieved most of the purpose of his visit today.
"Does my darling like it here?" Young Master Yan covered his head with his large hand and gently spun it a few times.
“Yes!” Zizai nodded emphatically, then turned around and looked at Zhu Qianying with great excitement.
"Mommy, do you like it here?"
Zhu Qianying wasn't stupid. From the moment Yan Shao relentlessly urged her to visit Qin Xiu's house, she knew that Yan Shao's true intentions were not what they seemed.
"like!"
A month ago, Zizai might not have gotten a real answer to this question, but now Zhu Qianying has figured it out.
Some things don't need to be forced; just let them happen naturally.
Yan Shao was surprised that Zhu Qianying answered so readily, and turned to look at her with delight.
"Ying'er, I specially asked Qin Xiu to reserve a set with the most beautiful view. Shall we go take a look?"
It's clear that Yan Shao came here with ulterior motives. Look, she only echoed Zizai's comment that he liked it, and he immediately took advantage of the situation.
"I don't mind. If you and Zizai like it, I'll go with you to take a look."
His intentions were already evident back in Country M; in other words, if she didn't agree to go see it today, he would eventually find a way to lure her here.
Since that's the case, why not be more generous, go see it, and give your opinion whether you like it or not? There's no need to waste everyone's time, is there?
Yan Shao showed a similar look of surprise as Zizai, "Baby, let's go see our new house!"
"Yay! I'm getting a new home!"
Two faces, one large and one small, both showing the exact same expression and smile.
Zhu Qianying looked at the father and son who were dancing with joy and shook her head helplessly.
"Tsk tsk, look how happy you two are!"
Zizai grinned and clung to her shoulder, "Mommy, can I invite Brother Beibei and Sister Guoguo over for a visit?"
Zhu Qianying glanced at Yan Shao, then nodded, "Of course, and there's also my little aunt's baby."
Mentioning this made Zizai even more excited, and a glimmer of light sparkled in his dark eyes.
"Oh right! Zai Zai is going to be a big brother! Hmm... Zai Zai can take the baby surfing here, and he/she can also teach him/her to swim... Mommy, when will the baby come out of Auntie's tummy?"
The little guy's attention suddenly shifted from the villa to the baby, a kind of leap in thinking that left his parents speechless.
Zhu Qianying pinched his cheek. "Yes, the baby was born when Zizai was on summer vacation."
Wow... Vic Zhou is going to be a big brother soon!
Yan Shao was both annoyed and amused. The grand gift he had prepared for his son and Zhu Qianying was actually less appealing than the unborn little bean of the Ji family!
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Young Master Yan patted Zizai's bottom and asked.
