As soon as Yan Shao and Qin Xiu entered the party, they were immediately surrounded by a large crowd. After all, no one could replace Yan Shao's status in L City.
No, it should be said that there are fewer and fewer people who can replace him.
The Zhu family, who were the hosts of tonight's party, pushed through the crowd and walked up to Young Master Yan with their wine glasses in hand.
"Young Master Yan, hello!"
Young Master Yan looked the newcomer up and down, and politely nodded with a smile.
"Mr. Zhu, hello! Congratulations!"
The person who arrived was Zhu Junwei, the current president of Mingxuan Group, who is also Zhu Qianying's third brother.
Zhu Junwei accepted the congratulatory gift from Qin Xiu and said with a smile, "We're all family, Young Master Yan, you're too kind."
As he spoke, he led Yan Shao and Qin Xiu toward the VIP seats at the front of the venue.
Yan Shao smiled, neither confirming nor denying the phrase "one of our own".
"Young Master Yan, how has Ying'er been lately? When would you like to bring my nephew along for a meal?"
The news of Zhu Qianying's return from studying abroad has spread throughout L City in the past few days, so it's understandable that Zhu Junwei would ask such a question.
Mentioning his wife and children, Yan Shao's expression softened immediately. "Later, Zizai needs to go back to the Yan family to see the ancestor."
Zhu Junwei couldn't help but look curious, "Oh? My little nephew has never met Old Master Yan?"
His tone sounded very concerned, and those around him also felt that the uncle cared a lot about his nephew.
"Yes, to be honest, Ying'er is just being stubborn with me, so Zizai has been putting it off until now to go back and see the Ancestor."
Qin Xiu, listening to his master's conversation with Zhu Junwei, broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but feel extremely puzzled.
In the past, my master had always been very secretive about his relationship with Shadow. Now, why is he so open and honest about his feelings, and the person he's been looking down on is actually a member of the Zhu family?
"Haha, I understand. My sister is a really nice person, it's just her temper..."
Zhu Junwei stopped mid-sentence, exchanged a knowing glance with Yan Shao, and they both knew what to say.
Qin Xiu was increasingly confused about his master. Could it be that his master was planning to join forces with the Zhu family to take revenge on Zhu Qianying?
But Qin Xiu quickly rejected this idea.
After all, ever since Zhu Qianying and her son returned, their master seemed to have come back to life.
In the years before that, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a walking corpse. During those years, Yan Shao was merely a highly efficient machine.
Completely devoid of emotions and desires!
But what Qin Xiu couldn't understand even more was yet to come.
You said that it's understandable to exchange pleasantries and formalities at a party.
After all, Young Master Yan is indeed the son-in-law of the Zhu family. He can't very well embarrass the Zhu family in front of all the guests.
Therefore, Qin Xiuquan attributed the warm and familiar atmosphere between his father and the Zhu Junwei brothers at the party to the fact that the boss had suddenly become more sensible and was just being polite and courteous, and that it shouldn't be taken seriously.
The day after the party ended, Yan Shao called Qin Xiu early in the morning, "Qin Xiu, the approval document from the XX Bureau this morning, go and handle it."
This approval is crucial to Yanhuang Group's major plans for next year, and therefore, Young Master Yan has been personally overseeing its progress.
The fact that such a heavy responsibility has suddenly been thrown to Qin Xiu suggests that there must be something very important to do.
"Young Master Yan, if you have something important to do, it's not impossible for me to go..."
Qin Xiu knew he should be aware of his role as a subordinate and not ask questions he shouldn't, but he couldn't help but ask anyway.
"So, are you going somewhere with Yingzi or Zizai so early in the morning?"
Besides this mother and son, Qin Xiu couldn't think of anyone else with such great ability to get Young Master Yan to relinquish such an important job.
Without even thinking, Yan Shao denied it, saying, "No, I made plans to play golf with someone."
Qin Xiu figured that the person he had arranged to play golf with must be a very important person, so he decided not to ask any further questions.
But in the afternoon, when Qin Xiu brought the approval documents he had obtained that morning to Yan Shao's office, he overheard Yan Shao chatting.
"Haha, really? With my skill level, beating you, Mr. Zhu, is purely by luck!"
Damn! Could it be that the person the boss arranged to meet early this morning wasn't some political figure, nor anyone important, but rather, Zhu Junwei, the third young master of the Zhu family?
Qin Xiu couldn't help but curse inwardly, but then he heard his boss flipping through documents and saying into the microphone, "Fine, we'll fight again another day! It's a deal, Mr. Zhu can't let me win because of Ying'er!"
Qin Xiu secretly gave Yan Shao the middle finger in his mind. After a long wait, Qin Xiu handed over the documents.
She cautiously observed Yan Shao's expression, then tentatively asked, "Yan Shao, the person you met this morning, was it the third young master of the Zhu family?"
Yan Shao didn't hide anything and readily nodded, "Yes, I didn't expect him to be such an interesting person!"
Qin Xiu's alarm bells went off. He glanced at his boss a few more times to make sure he wasn't joking, and then hurriedly spoke up.
"Master, have you forgotten the disgusting things those people from the Zhu family did to Shadow?"
Yan Shao raised his eyelids and glanced at him, saying indifferently.
"He is him, and the Zhu family is the Zhu family; they are two different things!"
Grass!
Qin Xiu cursed under his breath again, then was completely speechless.
"Master..."
This time, Yan Shao didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. "Go and compile the materials for tomorrow's meeting for me."
Qin Xiu knew that it was no use saying anything more, so he silently turned around and walked out.
Back in the office, I was supposed to be organizing documents, but the image of Zhu Qianying and her son Zizai kept flashing through my mind. Several times, I impulsively picked up the phone to call, but in the end, reason prevailed over impulse, and I did nothing.
Just before he was about to leave work, he received a message that was a transfer notification from Yan Shao's private account.
His special assistant is said to be omnipotent, and there's a reason for that. Basically, all of Yan Shao's matters, big and small, have to go through his hands.
For Young Master Yan, this transfer amount was nothing more than a small sum of money. In fact, it wasn't even a small sum; a decent lunch for Young Master Yan would probably cost more than that.
The amount of money is 5,000 yuan.
The recipient of the payment was none other than Zhu Qianying.
When Qin Xiu received this message, he was completely unsettled.
He grabbed the phone and ran to the next office. "Young Master Yan, what do you mean by this?"
Yan Shao, who was looking at the documents, looked up in confusion. "What?"
Qin Xiu shoved his phone right in front of him. "What do you mean by transferring 5,000 yuan to Yingzi? Is it a breakup fee?"
Yan Shao glared at him, "What's going on in your head? 5,000 yuan is for Zizai's living expenses, what kind of breakup fee is that? Ying'er and I are doing great!"
