Unexpectedly, my mother actually knew about the concept of not being able to get an electric shock.
"Ying'er, just mind your own business and leave me alone!"
It was only after returning home and hearing her eldest daughter ask about her impressions of Luo Yifan that Chen Jing understood what had happened that day. Apparently, she was being sent to learn from Luo Yifan, but in reality, she was being sent on a blind date!
To be honest, Luo Yifan is far superior to Zhu Zhizhou, both in character and appearance.
But perhaps it was precisely because the other person was too outstanding that Chen Jing felt they couldn't be together.
After years of blindly following Zhu Zhizhou, Chen Jing's expectations for relationships had long since plummeted to negative levels, and similarly, her self-confidence was almost zero.
The fact that Zhu Qianying took her away for the past few years undoubtedly boosted her confidence a lot, but her inherent inferiority complex would occasionally resurface when she returned to a familiar environment.
"Mom, I know what I'm doing. As for your affairs, Xiaoyu and I will also pay close attention!"
By saying this, Zhu Qianying both acknowledged the turning point in her relationship with Yan Shao and gave her mother a heads-up.
Young Master Yan's business trip is only for two or three days.
The night before, he told Zhu Qianying his flight number and the exact time he would arrive in L city during a video call.
Of course, when he said that, he didn't expect Zhu Qianying to come to pick him up at the airport.
But he was still somewhat disappointed when he only saw his own driver at the airport.
So, on the way back to Yanhuang Group, Qin Xiu noticed that his boss, who had been so enthusiastic on the plane, was now somewhat absent-minded in the car.
It's obvious that it's because the boss's wife didn't come to pick me up from the airport.
"Sir, I heard that the jewelry store is undergoing renovations at a rapid pace. Shadow must be very busy!"
Qin Xiu could only indirectly remind the boss that the boss's wife wasn't unwilling to pick him up, but was simply too busy to find the time.
"Um……"
Who doesn't understand this principle?
But can a few grand principles really calm and control one's mood?
Fortunately, this disappointment didn't last too long.
Yan Shao pushed open his office door and immediately saw a person sitting in the reception room, facing the window and with his back to the door.
Even though it was just a glimpse of her back, Yan Shao recognized her at a glance. This person was none other than Zhu Qianying, whom he had been eagerly waiting to see at the airport.
Qin Xiu, who was following behind him, naturally saw Zhu Qianying as well. He stopped in his tracks, intending to inform Young Master Yan before taking his leave. However, the man beside him had already strode off into the reception room.
Qin Xiu silently withdrew and gently closed the door.
Hearing the noise, Zhu Qianying turned around, saw Yan Shao, and gave a bright smile, "You're back?"
"Hmm, what are you doing here?"
Even if Zhu Qianying told him that she just happened to be passing by and came up to sit for a while, he would still be very happy.
But Zhu Qianying was clearly not one to beat around the bush. She pointed to the two boxes of items on the coffee table and said, "I'm on day off today. I was planning to pick you up from the airport, but I got delayed at my mom's shop. So I just came over and invited you to lunch."
Yan Shao's mood at this moment could not be described as ecstatic.
Firstly, it was out of consideration for her intention to pick him up at the airport, even though she ultimately didn't go.
Secondly, it's because of her frank attitude.
But people are often never satisfied; even when they are already overjoyed, they still want more.
Yan Shao put his bag down on the sofa, then threw himself heavily onto his own sofa and let out a long sigh.
"Phew, I'm exhausted!"
Zhu Qianying looked him over carefully and thought he looked quite energetic, not tired at all.
However, this man is always full of energy, so perhaps he was really tired, but it's not surprising that he didn't show any signs of it on the surface.
Thinking this, Zhu Qianying got up and walked to the locker. "Would you like a cup of tea or coffee?"
She knew he would have a lot to do next, so giving him a refreshing drink was always a good idea.
"Tea bar, brewing coffee is too much trouble."
Yan Shao didn't want to torment Zhu Qianying too much. Sometimes, a little coquetry is fun, but excessive demands are just drudgery.
Zhu Qianying quickly brewed a pot of tea, took two cups, poured one for him and one for herself.
"Aren't you very busy? How come you have time to rest?"
Yan Shao thought to himself, "No, it's because he's coming back today that he specifically chose to rest today."
"Cheng Ye went to the capital, so I took the opportunity to slack off a bit."
Actually, the renovation was basically all arranged. The rest was mostly the responsibility of the renovation company. As for supervising the renovation, Zhu Qianying didn't know anything about it, and Cheng Ye wouldn't want her to suffer like that, so he found someone else to supervise the renovation.
Things were on track at the jewelry store for the time being, so Cheng Ye gave her a few days off so she could help Chen Jing with the preparations for the opening of the private restaurant.
Zhu Qianying's answer left Yan Shao slightly disappointed, but as the fragrant tea slid down his throat, that slight disappointment was instantly smoothed out.
"Mom, are things at the shop mostly ready?"
The private restaurant is still two days away from opening, but the promotional work started a week ago, and online reservations were accepted three days ago.
"Yes, the opening preparations are basically complete. My mom is preparing the ingredients and supplies for the next week. As of now, the online reservation slots are already booked until next Saturday!"
The result that Zhu Qianying mentioned was pretty much what she and Yan Shao had predicted.
"Sure enough, even though Mom has been retired from the food industry in L City for so many years, her reputation still stands!"
"Of course, my mother's name is indeed quite famous, but the publicity planner you hired also deserves a lot of credit."
The two chatted for a while about the private restaurant, and then about their children.
When Yan Shao remembered that Zhu Qianying had said she was coming to have lunch with him, he pointed to the two boxes on the coffee table.
"Is this our lunch?"
Zhu Qianying shook her head, "No, this is braised goose wings for you and Qin Xiu, one box each. What do you want to eat for lunch? It's on me!"
It was rare for Zhu Qianying to offer to treat him to a meal, and Yan Shao naturally wanted a romantic candlelight lunch. However, the truth was that he had a very important client to meet later, so time was of the essence and lunch had to be something casual.
"How about we grab something to eat at the Western restaurant across the street?"
Young Master Yan is not a naive teenager; he can distinguish between what is urgent and what is not.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qianying understood everything. "Yes, no problem! I should thank you for saving me money!"
The two walked out of the office side by side, one after the other. "You have an appointment for lunch, right?"
