Early that morning, Zhu Qianying took Zizai back to the Yan family home. She had already designed the first draft of the wedding anniversary rings for the two elders, and worried that it would be inconvenient for them to communicate online, so she simply brought Zizai along.
When Madam Yan heard that Zhu Qianying and her son were coming back, she instructed the kitchen to purchase ingredients according to their tastes, and also sent someone out to buy a bunch of snacks, desserts and fruits that the little one liked.
Yan Han originally wanted to stay at home with his mother and son, but unfortunately, Qin Xiu called early in the morning and said that Yan Shao had to attend the morning meeting.
Yan Shao angrily said, "What use are you!" After hanging up the phone, he changed his clothes and hurriedly left the house.
Before leaving, she reminded Madam Yan, "Mom, remember to wait for me to come back before we start lunch!"
Madam Yan is now completely content with her grandson; her son, Young Master Yan, has long since lost all importance in her eyes.
"Get lost! I don't care when you come back. Just feed the baby when he's hungry. Who's waiting for you?"
With tears streaming down his face, Young Master Yan got into the car, secretly calculating in his mind that the Spring Festival was approaching. He wondered which jobs could be transferred to lower levels and which could be postponed. In short, he was determined to spend this Spring Festival with his wife and son!
All told, he and Zhu Qianying had known each other for more than five years, but it seemed that apart from their wedding, they had never spent any special days together, whether it was Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, Valentine's Day, each other's birthdays, or their wedding anniversary.
As for today's meeting, it was indeed indispensable for Young Master Yan.
Because this is the year-end shareholders' meeting, and the senior executives will present the annual performance of each department of Yanhuang to the shareholders for review. As the chairman and president, Yan Han cannot be absent.
However, at this year-end shareholders' meeting, the chairman was even more distracted than at the usual quarterly shareholders' meetings or even the monthly meetings. He was often daydreaming and kept glancing at his watch, as if there was something urgent waiting for him to do.
"Sir, is there something urgent?"
Qin Xiu sat beside him the whole time, watching his uncomfortable look as if he were sitting on pins and needles. Finally, he couldn't help but lean over and ask him.
"Yes, I need to go home and be with Zai Zai!"
Once upon a time, Yan Shao found his greatest joy in work, but now all he thinks about is going home to be with his young son.
Qin Xiu couldn't help but sigh. The world has changed. People who used to be busy enjoying themselves are now busy with work and pursuing their life goals; people who used to be busy with work and pursuing their life goals are now busy enjoying family life!
As a newly minted father who had only been in power for a few years, Qin Xiu naturally understood Yan Shao's feelings. So, after the senior executives finished their reports, he looked up at his watch and then said to Yan Shao.
"Master, you had an appointment with the second young master of the Ji family at noon to discuss next year's cooperation. Don't be late!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Shao pushed the documents in his hand towards Qin Xiu, saying, "I almost forgot about this important matter. Assistant Qin, you will be responsible for the summary. I'll be leaving now."
As all the shareholders here know, in recent years, Yanhuang has been cooperating more and more with the Ji family and the Yang family of Beijing. At present, the Ji family and the Yang family are Yanhuang's most important clients.
Therefore, when they heard that Young Master Yan was going to meet Young Master Ji, none of the shareholders dared to stop him. They even urged Young Master Yan to hurry up and not delay important matters.
Yan Shao rushed home. It was just past eleven o'clock, but the servants were already busy shuttling between the kitchen and the dining room. It seemed that lunch was being prepared.
In the living room, there was no sign of Zizai or the two elders; only Zhu Qianying was nestled on the sofa, holding a laptop and looking at something.
"Ying'er, where's Zizai?"
Zhu Qianying glanced at him and said, "You went to play in the back garden with your aunt and uncle. It seems you're planning to get a dog. If you don't like it, you'd better give up on the idea as soon as possible."
Based on Zhu Qianying's preconceived notions about Yan Shao, she felt that someone as fastidious as him wouldn't like keeping pets.
Firstly, all small animals inevitably have some odor, and secondly, the fur of small animals is flying everywhere.
These two points are major taboos for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Yan Shao seemed not to have heard her words clearly. He took off his coat and walked towards her.
"What are you doing here by yourself? Browsing the web?" The expression on his face showed a lot of curiosity.
"No, I've already designed the sketch for my aunt and uncle's wedding anniversary ring. They just took a look and gave me some feedback, and I'm revising it now."
After Yi Wei's incident, the two hadn't seen each other for two or three days. Now that they met, they both tactfully avoided mentioning what happened that day.
Yan Han picked up his shirt, unbuttoned the cuffs, rolled up his sleeves, walked over, sat down next to her, and naturally leaned closer.
Zhu Qianying moved the computer a bit and pointed to the enlarged design drawing on it to show him.
"Look, bring up any opinions you have."
Yan Han glanced at her sideways. "If I bring it up, will you change it according to my suggestion?"
Zhu Qianying smiled and shook her head. "Of course not. I will only take your opinions as a reference and incorporate them into my design, but I will not necessarily change it according to your opinions."
Yan Han turned his gaze to the screen. To be honest, this was the first time he had been so close to her work since he learned about her real profession.
At first glance, the images on the screen seemed no different from the rings he had seen in the jewelry store, but upon closer inspection, it was not hard to find that the two rings had very unique designs. The rubies were set in shapes that were actually flower-shaped Q-version letters.
The men's version is shaped like a flower-like Q-version of the pinyin "h" for the mother's name "槐" (huái), while the women's version is shaped like a flower-like Q-version of the pinyin "b" for the father's name "博" (bó).
The shape of the gemstones not only makes the meaning clear, but the shape is also very beautiful. Although Yan Han doesn't understand jewelry, he still couldn't help but give Zhu Qianying a thumbs up for her thoughtfulness.
Then, looking at the next picture, it's not hard to see that the settings for the two rings, visible from the side, are "4" and "0" respectively. Together, the two rings clearly symbolize the couple's 40th ruby wedding anniversary.
"0" is for men's sizes and "4" is for women's sizes.
"Ying'er, why is the men's size 0 and the women's size 4? Mingming, my dad is older than my mom."
Zhu Qianying patiently explained to him, "In your uncle's heart, your aunt will always be more important than himself, so your uncle is 0 and your aunt is 4."
"So beautiful, and so thoughtfully designed!"
Young Master Yan didn't know much about words of praise, but his compliment on the ring was sincere and came from the bottom of his heart.
"So, my parents are still not satisfied?"
If she's willing to put in so much effort for him, he'll probably be incredibly grateful, and he wouldn't have any complaints.
Dad and Mom, you two are truly blessed but don't know how good you have it!
