Zhu Haoming, who was walking behind Zhu Zhizhou, naturally heard Zhu Junwei's words clearly. His face turned red and white, as if he had been slapped hard several times.
His feet began to hesitate, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
After cursing Zhu Zhizhou, Zhu Junwei glanced contemptuously at Zhu Haoming, who was standing behind Zhu Zhizhou with a very interesting expression.
"I'm sorry, my dear brother, I'm back. Your mission is over."
"Third Brother..." Zhu Haoming was ridiculed to such an extent, yet he still wanted to explain something.
Zhu Junwei stopped looking at him and said to Zhu Shaofen and Zhu Shaoyong behind him, "Uncle, Mom, please take me to the main stage."
Zhu Junwei was not dismissed, so his return means that today's party is no longer necessary. Since the real person has returned, the substitute is no longer needed.
The guests present were all looking forward to the inevitable and incredibly exciting showdown between the Bamboo brothers.
Despite his listless appearance, Zhu Junwei's aura was far stronger than that of Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Haoming, who both appeared healthy and energetic.
What was originally a reception for the acting president's inauguration has clearly turned into a reception to celebrate the president's return.
Song Zhicheng, who had been confident of success, sat in the audience of special guests with a terribly gloomy expression.
Soon, many anonymous, non-verified Weibo accounts began posting various short video clips from the party. After watching them, netizens commented that life is always more dramatic than TV dramas.
Zhu Qianying, who had heard about Zhu Haoming's appointment today, saw the short videos immediately and then dialed Yan Shao's number.
"Young Master Yan, have you seen those short videos of Mingxuan?"
"Yeah, I just finished watching it!"
Yan Shao seemed completely unsurprised to receive this call, which indirectly made Zhu Qianying's guesses even closer to being true.
"What are your thoughts?" Zhu Qianying continued to probe.
"As netizens have said, it's quite exciting and melodramatic," Yan Shao said frankly.
"As the director, Mr. Yan, are you satisfied with this result?"
"Heh, not bad!" Young Master Yan didn't deny it.
Zhu Qianying watched with amusement, "However, this Zhu Junwei is indeed impressive. After he appeared, Mingxuan's shares hit the daily limit in no time, right?"
"Yes, you bought a lot at the low point? Hold on for now, you can make more money later."
Yan Shao, too, was watching with a spectator's mentality.
"Pfft, how did you know I bought a lot?" Zhu Qianying couldn't help but laugh, her focus gradually shifting.
"Look at you, you're so poor you're almost starving. If you didn't buy this, did you buy a car or a house?"
After observing her carefully for a while, Yan Shao discovered that she was still the same as before. In addition to loving to collect some little treasures, she also liked to buy Mingxuan's stock when it was low.
"Why am I dressed like this, unable to afford food? Besides buying a car and a house, this is all I have left? Maybe I'm keeping a gigolo on the side!"
Yan Shao immediately chuckled, "Even if you wanted to, you wouldn't have the ability."
Zhu Qianying was once again speechless at his confidence.
In fact, she had to admit he was right. With his energy levels, where would she find the strength to deal with anything else?
"By the way, I won't be home for dinner tonight. If you're free, pick up Zizai and Xiaoluzi. If you're not free, have the driver pick them up."
"Working overtime? Or going out for a business dinner?"
"Social engagements..."
The content of their conversation had completely deviated from the people and affairs of the Zhu family. Clearly, to Zhu Qianying, Mingxuan Group and the people of the Zhu family were just things or people that had nothing to do with her.
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Qianying tidied up and went out.
With Cheng Ye away, she had no choice but to take over the various supervisory tasks. Even though she couldn't watch over the place all day, she would try to spend some time each day visiting several stores to check on the progress and status of the renovations.
After going around to various shops and picking up Zizai, we finally went to the restaurant to pick up Xiaoluzi and take him home.
I led Zizai into the shop and immediately saw Xiaoluzi carrying a plate of snacks out of the kitchen.
"Auntie Shadow, Zizai, come and try Grandma's new snacks."
Because the children love it, Chen Jing has recently started experimenting with using various fresh fruits as fillings to make all kinds of desserts.
These snacks were originally meant to be homemade to appease two little kids, but once they were introduced to restaurants, they became popular among young people. As for Xiao Luzi, that little glutton, he would rush into the kitchen to snatch the familiar aroma as soon as he got home from school.
"Wow, is it pineapple flavored today?"
The young master sniffed like a puppy, and then immediately chased after Xiao Luzi.
Zhu Qianying smiled as she watched the two little gluttons, shook her head, and let them turn around and go into the kitchen.
"Mom, why didn't I see Uncle Luo today?"
Right now, that's all she cares about.
Chen Jing was directing Xiao Shan and A Feng to take the pastries out of the oven, seemingly too busy to pay attention to her daughter.
Zhu Qianying knew perfectly well that her mother was embarrassed and didn't want to speak up in front of her two apprentices.
This proves once again that Mom has something to hide; otherwise, she would have asked something very ordinary, and even if she had answered it, it wouldn't have revealed anything.
Unable to get an answer, Zhu Qianying was not in a hurry. She leaned against the side leisurely, waiting for Xiaoshan and Afeng to finally bring the snacks to the other side of the worktable.
Zhu Qianying asked again, "Mom, why haven't I seen Uncle Luo?"
Chen Jing lowered her head and took off her thick gloves. "He didn't come!"
Zhu Qianying raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Why?"
Zhu Qianying thought that at this point, shouldn't Luo Yifan be pressing forward and seizing the opportunity to win?
You know, given my mom's indecisive nature, who knows what answer she'll come up with after today.
He said he would come over after I had thought it through and could give him a clear answer.
Chen Jing didn't hide it anymore. Anyway, she had already told her eldest daughter about it last night, no matter how embarrassing it was, so one more word wouldn't make a difference.
Zhu Qianying was indeed surprised; Luo Yifan was not only domineering but also showed his gentlemanly manners.
I don't know whether to say he's good or bad.
"Mom, so how long are you planning to think about it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't think about it for too long. Someone like Uncle Luo won't lack admirers!"
My mom has a mild temperament, and even when she makes a decision, she's still a few steps behind others.
"Ying'er, how eager are you to hand me over?" Chen Jing complained to her daughter indignantly.
Zhu Qianying walked over with a grin, hugged her waist, and rubbed her chin against her face. "Mom, I have no intention of sending you away. I just want you to help me and Xiaoyu find a stepfather."
