"Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Jiang Shaoze said.
The person on the other end of the phone snapped out of their daze and hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, young master!"
Even after hanging up the phone, he still found it unbelievable.
Jiang Caishen glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong with Shaoze again?"
The man looked at the patriarch and said truthfully, "Just now... the young master asked me to arrange his medical examination."
Jiang Caishen was also surprised. He thought for a moment and asked, "Has Shaoze been going to Beijing a lot lately?"
The man nodded. "Yes."
Jiang Caishen tapped the table. "Shaoze is getting too close to the Jiu family."
The man said cautiously, "Being close to the Jiu family... is that alright? The Jiu family's business is clean and quite large."
Jiang Caishen said, "Putting everything else aside, Shaoze has taken a liking to the youngest daughter of the Jiu family. This is something that cannot be forced apart. However, since the Jingmen and Fengmen are close, it is hard to guarantee that the Huomen will not be affected by the Fengmen in the future."
The man said, "I think... the young master should know what he's doing, patriarch. Please don't go against the young master; he's finally back..."
Jiang Caishen sighed helplessly, "How could I not know? It's just that the relationship between the Fire Gate and the Floating Gate is very complicated. If something goes wrong with Shaoze, won't he be the one in trouble in the future?"
The man, puzzled, said, "Master, are you overthinking this? The Shock Gate isn't that powerful, is it?"
Jiang Caishen shook his head. "We can't be careless. Although I've never met Jiu Yunchi, Jiu Maomao is a bit hard to figure out."
Her vegetarian restaurant is already up and running, and next year she'll definitely become a dominant force in the catering industry. Her fragrance company is also about to go public; I wonder what kind of fragrances she'll create...
Although we are both in Fengtai, as members of the same Eight Gates, Jiu Maomao has become somewhat of a competitor.
The Jiang family also has a significant business in catering and fragrance. Maomao's catering focuses on healthy and green wellness, which clashes with theirs. They have already suffered a setback in the restaurant business this year, and Jiang Caishen has been paying attention to her fragrance company for a long time.
The man then said, "This is indeed quite ruthless. I didn't expect that even after the Jingmen sect disappeared for so long, they still have such great abilities. We have increased our research efforts, but to reach the ingredient standards of the Seven Plus One New Vegetarian Restaurant, the cost will become extremely high! I don't know how Jiu Maomao managed to do it."
Jiang Caishen said, "I never expected that Jiu Maomao, who came with Mu Jin back then, would grow up to be like this now."
Then Jiang Caishen said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Go and arrange things for tomorrow. Give Shaoze a thorough medical examination, the more detailed the better."
"Yes," the man replied, and quickly got up and left.
...
When Jiu Nanxun returned home, she was stunned for a while by the sudden change in the atmosphere.
"Dad, isn't our house so warm and welcoming? Did you have this decorated?" Jiu Nanxun asked.
Jiu Zhongsheng glanced at Jiu Nanxun, his gaze lingering on the men's coat she had taken off for a moment. "Your sister did this... Who brought you back?"
Jiu Nanxun said, "Jiang Shaoze."
She rummaged through the things on the table, and said with a touch of emotion, "Sister is so kind. I can finally spend the New Year at home. Dad, aren't you touched?"
Jiu Zhongsheng nodded and asked, "Are you officially dating Jiang Shaoze?"
Jiu Nanxun lay down on the sofa, started scrolling through Weibo, and muttered, "Him... has a lot of bad habits, I still need to see how he performs."
Jiu Zhongsheng smiled and said, "Xiao Xun, you've learned your lesson."
"Hehe." Kunan Xun laughed as well, "It's all thanks to my sister's excellent teaching."
A moment later, Jiu Nanxun suddenly shouted, "Ahhh! Have my sister and Mu Jin been discovered? There are so many photos of them!"
Jiu Zhongsheng immediately looked at Jiu Nanxun.
The cat was coming downstairs when she heard her shout. She simply asked calmly, "What did they find out about me?"
Jiu Nanxun said, "Of course it's your relationship with Mu Jin! It's been exposed!"
Before the cat could even be happy, Kunan Xun said, "Hey, wait a minute... I misread it, it wasn't an exposé after all."
"Then why are you yelling like that?" Jiu Zhongsheng said, and he himself became a little nervous.
Ku Nanxun glanced at her older sister, and sure enough, she also looked deceived.
Jiu Nanxun said somewhat aggrievedly, "It's not my fault, it's all the fault of these netizens. Who told them to make it sound so convincing? Look at this, 'Head pat, boyfriend power max,' this picture really is you and Mu Jin, and it's taken very sweetly."
When the cat went over to look, she realized the photo was taken in the supermarket parking lot, so she wasn't surprised.
However, Jiu Nanxun was unaware that she had been recording songs all day and only had dinner with Jiang Shaoze in the evening before returning home. She was only now catching up on today's gossip.
"Wow, it's so lively today! Sister, your whole expert team has been trending all day. And you guys even went to the supermarket together tonight?" Jiu Nanxun said.
She clicked on a trending topic: #EveryoneIsSnaggingCatsAndTanzhengAroundTheWorld#
He saw many photos of passersby inside, and all sorts of scenes of them shopping at the supermarket were clearly captured. After looking at these photos, it was like he had actually gone shopping at the supermarket.
[Waaaaah! My house is nearby, but I didn't go to the supermarket. What did I miss? I'm crying so loudly!]
[So sweet! An expert who works seriously during the day, shopping at the supermarket at night—so domestic!]
[The cat and the fairy have such a good relationship, and the members of the expert team are probably all good friends in private too, right?]
[The cat is so cute! She bought so many things, does she want to move the whole supermarket?]
[With four handsome and talented men as bodyguards, this cat is truly the most pampered pet!]
[That head-patting picture, I'm dead! They're such a perfect match!]
Jiu Nanxun looked at the picture of the cat being patted on the head by Mu Jin again. Mu Jin's expression was indifferent, but no matter what, her features were outstanding! She could make people fall in love with her from any angle!
They're like two-dimensional beings who are indifferent to the whole world but tender to only one person. The scene of the two of them together is just too beautiful.
Kunan Xun couldn't help but say, "Wow, this is the first time you two have made such a high-profile appearance."
However, because they were all members of the expert group, and their identities were so serious, none of the netizens had any impure thoughts!
Cat concluded, "Ah Jin and I are a match made in heaven."
There were also some items bought from the supermarket that weren't properly prepared, so the cat found a place to hang them up or arrange them neatly.
Jiu Yunchi brewed coffee; it seems he has to work tonight.
Seeing that everyone was there, Jiu Zhongsheng said, "Let's have our New Year's Eve dinner together this year. Make sure you all have time to prepare."
Kunan Kaoru was the first to respond, "Yeah! I'll record one more day tomorrow, then I should be able to take a break."
Jiu Yunchi nodded as well.
The cat said, "I've been on vacation for a long time."
Lanfeng didn't answer any of the announcements she received before or after the Spring Festival.
The next day, Maomao drove another car to her company.
