"Yes, I have an appointment with a very important client," Yan Shao said without hiding anything.
After he realized Zhu Qianying's honesty, he also tried to be as honest as possible when facing Zhu Qianying.
"Let's invite Brother Qin along!"
Yan Shao was extremely unwilling, "No need, my secretary has already ordered food for him."
A romantic lunch is out of the question, but I can't exactly bring a high-voltage light bulb to a business lunch either!
Zhu Qianying understood Yan Shao's thoughts perfectly well, so she didn't press him any further. She just smiled and didn't say anything more.
During the meal, the two were chatting about some funny things about their son when someone at the next table suddenly spoke in a loud voice.
"You think you're rich? You still dare to buy Mingxuan's stock? It's already fallen so much! The trial for the former president of Mingxuan Group is starting next Monday, and the stock price will probably fall even lower then."
Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao exchanged a glance, and then neither of them mentioned the matter. Zhu Qianying did not want to mention the people of the Zhu family because she did not want to affect her mood and appetite. Yan Shao did not want to mention it because he did not want to see Zhu Qianying upset.
However, on her way home, Zhu Qianying couldn't help but search online for information about the Zhu family.
Actually, she used to keep up with the Zhu family's activities, but these past few days, she's been so busy with the jewelry store and private restaurant that she forgot about Zhu Junzhao's case hearing on Monday.
There's not much information about Zhu Junzhao online, but it seems the Zhu and Zhu families spent a considerable amount of money on him.
Similarly, no news about Mingxuan Group can be found online.
Because negative reports and unfavorable news generally don't stay online for long.
Often, if Zhu Qianying really wanted to find out something, she would directly call Qi Xiao or Xing Bailun. The information she got from them was definitely more authentic and detailed than what was circulating online.
When Yan Shao saw her off to her car, he asked her, "Would you like to audit the class on Monday?"
Zhu Qianying shook her head and refused. Did Yan Shao ask her this because he planned to sit in on the conversation?
But thinking about it, Young Master Yan probably doesn't have that much free time.
If it were Zhu Junwei, there might still be some possibility, but if it were Zhu Junzhao, the meaning would be different.
He's just a pathetic and pathetic scapegoat; there's nothing to watch.
The matter of the Zhu family didn't cause much of a stir in Zhu Qianying's heart, because she had been busy these past two days helping her mother with the opening preparations at the shop.
Although the preparation for this project took a long time, I still feel that there is still a lot to be done.
The only saving grace is that, because we're using an online booking system, we don't really need to worry about business for the next week.
Moreover, given her mother's culinary skills, Zhu Qianying was absolutely certain that this situation of needing to make reservations well in advance would continue for a while.
On Saturday, the day the private restaurant opened, Zhu Qianying and her mother brought their son back to the restaurant early in the morning. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw several large flower baskets placed at the entrance. When they saw Zhu Qianying and her group walking over, a young man came up to greet them and ask what was wrong.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Zhu?"
"I am!"
"This is a congratulatory flower basket from Mr. Yan. Please accept it!"
Zhu Qianying signed her name neatly, counted carefully, and found eight signatures—just right!
For Yan Shao, these eight flower baskets were certainly not worth much money, but the sentiment behind them was what mattered.
"Hmph, at least Daddy knows how to handle people!"
Little Zizai stood with his hands on his hips, circled the eight flower baskets, and then came to this conclusion.
Chen Jing had already opened the shop door and gone into the kitchen to prepare, while Zhu Qianying and Zizai stayed at the door to arrange the flower baskets.
Hearing her son say that, Zhu Qianying couldn't help but laugh.
"Honey, you absolutely mustn't let your dad hear you say that!"
Zizai helped Zhu Qianying carry the flower basket to the front, because the flower basket had "Congratulations from your foolish son-in-law Yan Han" written on it, which should have a good advertising effect.
After all, in L City, there are many people who have never seen Young Master Yan in person, but apart from children, there are probably no people who have never heard of Young Master Yan's name!
"So what if I heard that? He's not going to hit me!"
The little guy looked so smug that Zhu Qianying wanted to pinch him a few times and give him a good thrashing.
"Who dares to hit my little darling?"
A familiar voice came from behind, and Zizai shrank back in fright, tugged at Zhu Qianying's clothes, stuck out his tongue and made a face at her.
Zhu Qianying glanced down at her son, then raised her eyelids to look at Yan Shao, who was striding towards her in the morning light.
"Besides you, who else would be so bold?"
Ignoring her son's various funny faces and pleas for mercy, Zhu Qianying sold him off!
Zizai glared at Zhu Qianying, let go of her, and quickly rolled to Yan Shao's side, hugging his waist and burying her head in his waist, rubbing against him vigorously.
"Daddy, don't listen to Mommy's nonsense. What Zizai is saying is that you won't hit me! Isn't that right?"
Yan Shao bent down, picked up the little guy, and kissed him hard on the face several times.
"Of course, how could I dare to hit the young master!" Young Master Yan pretended to look worried.
Just as the young master was about to say something, Zhu Qianying said with a serious expression.
"Young Master Yan, this won't do! A father should act like a father. He should hit when he needs to hit and scold when he needs to scold! He can't be soft-hearted or soft-speaking!"
The young master panicked and tried to wriggle from Yan Shao's arms into Zhu Qianying's, crying, "Oh, Mommy, I'm a very good boy!"
Zhu Qianying smiled and hugged him. As soon as Zizai jumped into her arms, he wrapped his arms around her neck and bit her neck.
However, the force was very light.
"Mommy's a bad girl, she's ganging up with Daddy to bully me!"
The little guy was complaining loudly about her crimes in her ear, and Zhu Qianying was biting her lip, trying very hard to suppress her laughter.
"Who dares to bully my son?"
This time, it was the voice of the Empress Dowager Yan, the matriarch of the Yan family.
"Grandma, Mommy and Daddy are bullying Zizai together..."
The little guy pouted, his little face scrunched up, looking as pitiful as could be.
Old Madam Yan walked to Young Master Yan's side and unexpectedly raised her hand to tap him on the head.
"Hehe, Grandma taught him a lesson for you, and he won't dare to do it again!"
Young Master Yan stared innocently at Old Madam Yan, but she ignored him completely, walked to Zhu Qianying's side, and raised her hand.
Zizai immediately stared nervously at Madam Yan's hand, "Grandma..." He wanted to plead for Zhu Qianying, but he had already straightened up and stood in front of Zhu Qianying.
Madam Yan knew exactly what the little guy was thinking, and she raised her outstretched hand and then lowered it again.
"Your mommy is so kind, she would never do something like bullying others. It must have been your daddy who instigated your mommy to do it!"
As he spoke, he turned around and tapped Yan Shao again.
