The next second, George closed the menu.
Jian Yu resumed his normal sitting posture and started looking down at his phone.
There was no further communication with George.
Kenneth Fok turned his head and gave a few instructions to his assistant.
The assistant immediately went to find the manager to make arrangements.
One of the executives who came out later asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Huo?"
Huo Qizhen: "It's alright, let's go!"
With long strides, he was the first to step out the door.
Jian Yu didn't notice Huo Qizhen, but George did, only to find that Huo Qizhen had already reached the door.
Halfway through their meal, Jian Yu and George were served several signature dishes that they hadn't ordered before.
And they were informed that the bill had already been settled.
Jian Yu was taken aback. "Who got married?"
Upon learning that Huo Qizhen had also been there, Jian Yu specifically checked the time: 11:20 PM.
So he usually works this late?
After George dropped Jian Yu off, it was already past midnight. Considering how late it was, he decided to go straight to bed.
I received a message from Uncle Li as soon as I got off the bus.
George glanced at it and went to find him.
Upon arriving in the living room, I found Kenneth Fok drinking water on the sofa.
George walked over and bowed respectfully, "Young Master!"
Huo Qizhen didn't even look up. "So late tonight?"
George quickly recounted what had happened during the day.
Uncle Li laughed and said, "Jian Yu seems cold and indifferent, but he's actually so warm-hearted."
George countered, "Jane has always been very helpful."
What to do tomorrow?
"Jian Yu is going to the opening ceremony of the variety show 'Love and Artistic'."
Huo Qizhen listened without saying anything, and only got up and went upstairs after finishing his water.
After he left, George ran after him.
Jian Yu's flight was in the afternoon, so she got up late in the morning. Surprisingly, Huo Tingzhen was with her.
"You're back from your business trip?"
Huo Tingzhen nodded. "You're leaving this afternoon?"
"Yes, I'll arrive tonight and attend the opening ceremony tomorrow morning."
“I’m going there too. Let’s get up early tomorrow and I’ll take you there in the van.”
The opening ceremony was at around 10 a.m., and the drive would take about 5 hours. Jian Yu did the math, thought it was feasible, and agreed.
Huo Tingzhen sipped his coffee and sat down at the table with Jian Yu. "I heard you invested because of Lin Beichen?"
Jian Yu said, "One of the reasons!"
Because it can make money.
After Jian Yu finished eating, Huo Tingzhen asked, "Has the design been finalized?"
"It's confirmed. I'll send it to you in a bit."
"Okay. Do you need me to find you an assistant tomorrow?"
Jian Yu shook his head, "I can do many things myself. Besides, George is coming with me, so we don't need an assistant for now."
As they were talking, Jian Yu received a call from Mu Nannan.
Early in the morning, Mu's mother hired a moving company to move Mu Nannan and her belongings to the new residential area.
They even changed the lock code to prevent Mu's father from entering.
While Mr. Mu was still busy at the company, he received a call from his mother and realized that his wife and daughter were serious.
I wanted to rush home after dropping off work, but a company meeting held me back.
By the time he finished his meeting, Mu's mother had already moved all the things.
Grandma Mu lay down on the sofa in anger, swallowing several nitroglycerin pills. "They think I'm in their way, that I'm in their way. It was clearly that mother and daughter who went too far, but they turn around and say I drove them away. I don't want to live anymore..."
Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu specially video-called their father to see this scene.
Father Mu's face stiffened with anger. He wasn't truly confused; he had only thought that family harmony was the foundation of everything, which was why he had asked his wife and daughter to be patient with him. But yesterday, when he heard his daughter crying and calling for her mother in such a wronged state, he couldn't help but feel resentful towards his mother and brother.
Mu's father hung up the video call without saying a word.
Uncle Mu and his family of three were all stunned. Grandma Mu's crying and fussing was very effective. No matter how big the problem was, as long as Grandma Mu cried, Father Mu would definitely give in.
What's the situation now?
Mu Mingming asked uncertainly, "Is Uncle angry?"
Grandma Mu stopped crying, realizing that the video call had ended.
I called again, but no one answered.
This was unprecedented, and Grandma Mu was a little flustered. "What's going on?"
Uncle Mu shook his head.
Aunt Mu said irritably, "It must be that my sister-in-law and Nan Nan said bad things about us, which made my brother have a problem with us."
After a brief discussion, Grandma Mu began to feign illness.
Upon receiving the message, Mu's father sighed repeatedly, but ultimately decided to persuade his wife and daughter to return home.
Mu's mother got angry and had a big argument with him. After hanging up the phone, Mu's mother asked Mu Nannan to invite Jian Yu out for dinner.
Jian Yu said, "Nan Nan, tell Auntie not to be so polite."
After exchanging a few more words with Mu Nannan, he hung up the phone.
A short while later, Mu Nannan called again, "My mom said she must thank you for your help yesterday. She has to go back to work tomorrow, so she wants to see you tonight."
I'm going out for dinner tonight, so I'll definitely be back quite late.
Jianyu was afraid of being late for getting up early tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, when Mu's mother heard about it, she actually asked Mu Nannan to go with Jian Yu.
"Just think of it as having an assistant."
Jian Yu was a little puzzled. "It's summer vacation now, Nan Nan doesn't have to go to school, why don't you take Nan Nan to your workplace?"
Mu's mother sighed, "As soon as Nan Nan arrives, Mu Mingming follows right behind, and her parents come too. Whenever they come, they pester her to come to the company. Especially since Mu Mingming wanted to join the company even during her internship. If she joins the company, where will Nan Nan be left in the future?"
When her parents passed away in her previous life, Mu Mingming had already been working at the company for two years and was very familiar with the business.
Otherwise, Uncle Mu wouldn't have been able to take over the company so easily.
Two years?
Mu's parents passed away two years later, so Mu Nannan would be joining their company now.
“I’ve heard some things about your family from Nan Nan. It seems that Mu Mingming’s internship isn’t going very well. Grandma Mu is so opposed to you moving out, and to keep things quiet, Mu’s father might actually let Mu Mingming join your company.”
Upon hearing this, Mu's mother thought it made sense.
Just a few days ago, Mu Mingming said that her internship company was not good.
Although her father didn't say anything at the time, he comforted her a lot.
Although they didn't end up having dinner together, Jian Yu did agree to take Mu Nannan to a variety show live stream.
Mu Nannan had never been involved in the entertainment industry before, and she was so excited that she forgot her troubles. "See you tomorrow."
Seeing how happy she was, Mu's mother was very grateful to Jian Yu.
After thinking about it, he took Mu Nannan to the mall to choose a gift for Jian Yu.
Mu Nannan praised Jian Yu to the skies the whole way, and after picking and choosing from several counters, she finally pointed to a luxury brand necklace and said, "This is it."
Mother Mu glanced at it, and her eyelids twitched.
Priced at 188,000 yuan.
Faced with Mu Nannan's expectant gaze, Mu's mother smiled and nodded.
"Hehe..." What a sweet little cotton-padded jacket.
