Zhu Qianying truly did not expect that in just five years, Mingxuan Group would grow to its current scale.
Not only did it retain its absolute leading position in the hotel and catering industry in L City from the brink of bankruptcy, it also grew and expanded significantly.
It is said that now most of the catering businesses in L City basically have to follow the lead of Mingxuan Group in their work and dealings.
And these were things Qi Xiao had told her a few days ago.
My mom was rejected for a job interview, and that's probably related to this.
"Mom, it's okay. If you're really bored, Xiaoyu and I will open a small shop for you. We'll be your own boss, produce in limited quantities, be comfortable and free, and make money at the same time."
It was because of this plan that Zhu Qianying felt that she didn't have enough money.
After comforting my mother and telling her that Zizai might be staying at Yan's house for a few days, I listened to my mother ramble on about her relationship with Yan Shao. It was only with great difficulty that I managed to calm my mother down and hang up the phone.
The little guy in the ball pit was still having a great time playing with his friends. Zhu Qianying glanced at him a few times, made sure he was alright, and then dialed Ji Huan's number again.
Over the years, she hasn't really cared much about the Zhu family.
Firstly, she thought she had settled down in the United States, and she didn't bother to inquire about the affairs of L City, whether it was the Zhu family or the Yan family.
Secondly, the twenty years she spent in the Zhu family left her with few pleasant memories, so she subconsciously wanted to avoid everything related to the Zhu family.
Therefore, due to her intentional or unintentional neglect, all she knows so far is that her third brother, Zhu Junwei, took over the Mingxuan Group and brought it to unprecedented heights.
She knew nothing else.
But now, she's back.
Even though she didn't want to hear much about the Zhu family, she had no choice but to inquire when the other party so clearly released such aggressive signals.
“Mingxuan? We basically have no contact with them now,” Ji Huan said.
"Didn't they used to desperately try to curry favor with the Ji family? How did they give up later?"
Of course, Zhu Qianying had no intention of inquiring about the internal affairs of the Ji family, but since this matter concerned her, her mother, and Xiaoyu, she had no choice but to ask.
"Your third brother, Zhu Junwei, is a very capable person. Rumor has it that he has found a powerful backer. As for who this backer is, we don't know much about him, but most outsiders speculate that it is the Zhu family."
The Zhu family is the maternal family of Zhu Junwei's mother, Zhu Xiaofen.
As for Ji Huan, ever since Chen Jing and her two daughters completely severed ties with the Zhu family, he has also shown little interest in the Zhu family's affairs.
A year ago, Ji Huan married Zhu Qianyu, and they didn't even invite a single member of the Zhu family.
People in high society generally know that Zhu Zhizhou's relationship with his fourth wife Chen Jing and their two daughters completely broke down after five years.
Therefore, no one would be so tactless as to mention the Zhu family in front of Ji Huan.
"Is that so? My mom went for a job interview this morning at a hotel that hasn't opened yet, but she was told to 'go home and wait for our call'."
With Ji Huan, Zhu Qianying was able to open up and speak more freely.
Because, in her eyes, Ji Huan was undoubtedly more trustworthy than Yan Han, and more like one of her own.
"Okay, I'll look into that. Also, regarding the film's release date, thanks!"
Zhu Qianyu received a notification from the film's production company early this morning, saying that filming would be postponed for a year.
Ji Huan knew without even thinking that this was Zhu Qianying's ability.
"Young Master Ji, have you forgotten? Xiaoyu was my sister first, and then your wife!"
Zhu Qianying is a notorious sister-protecting fanatic. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gambled her life for her mother and sister's bright future, ultimately ending up in this unmanageable situation.
Of course, Zhu Qianying didn't feel miserable; she just felt that her current relationship with Young Master Yan was really messed up!
Around noon, Young Master Yan, your call came in right on time at twelve o'clock.
"Ying'er, I just finished a meeting. You and Zizai wait for me for ten minutes. You decide where to eat first, and we'll go there in a bit."
Yan Shao's punctuality only made Zhu Qianying feel annoyed.
She would rather he were like he was five years ago, ignoring her completely, and occasionally, when he missed her cooking, he would just call her and unceremoniously present her with a long menu.
Instead of doing things like this now, where I would carefully try to guess her feelings and do things to please her.
To be honest, this kind of extreme heat and cold not only failed to make her happy, but on the contrary, it drove her crazy.
“Zizai and I have already sat down at the fast food restaurant on the fifth floor. You can just eat at the company. There’s no need to waste time running around.”
Yan Shao has very high standards when it comes to food, lodging, and clothing. He probably has never been to a fast food restaurant, a place frequented by ordinary working-class people.
Even though Zhu Qianying said that, Young Master Yan replied without hesitation, "Okay, then I'll come find you."
Zhu Qianying frowned, wanting to say something more, but the other party had already hung up.
"Mommy, Zizai wants to eat bamboo rice!"
The little guy, covered in sweat from playing, poked at the name of the risotto on the menu with his chubby little finger.
Zhu Qianying nodded, took out a towel to wipe his sweat, and said to the waiter standing next to her, "Then bring two servings of pork ribs with bamboo tube rice."
The waiter checked the corresponding option on the iPad used for ordering. "Is there anything else you need? We're having a promotion on desserts right now; diners can enjoy them at half price."
Upon hearing the word "dessert," the little guy's dark eyes lit up, and he stuck out his little tongue, licked his lips, and then Zhu Qianying clearly heard him swallow his saliva with a "gulp."
Zhu Qianying burst out laughing, then looked up and smiled at the waiter who was also amused.
"Okay, give me two of your signature desserts."
Just as the mother and son ordered their food, Young Master Yan, who was standing at the entrance of the fast food restaurant, spotted them at a glance and strode over.
"Zizai, are you having fun?"
As soon as Yan Han sat down, he smiled and asked the little guy.
The little guy, having been lectured by his mother that morning, didn't dare to be too disrespectful to Young Master Yan. He glanced at him, pouted, and replied, "Hmm, not bad!"
Zhu Qianying shook her head secretly. This brat, he was just making a huge fuss, but he said "It's alright!"
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
A diligent waiter quickly came over and greeted Young Master Yan attentively.
Yan Han's gaze and thoughts were completely captivated by his son and wife. Without even glancing at Fu Shengsheng, he said, "Same!"
The waiter paused for a moment, then pulled out the order record and repeated to Yan Han, "Sir, would you like a pork rib rice dish with bamboo tube and a signature dessert?"
Yan Han waved to the waiter, "Yes, that's right!"
His expression and demeanor conveyed utter disdain.
