Zhang's grandson is receiving treatment at a Class II Grade A hospital in Beijing.
Bai Qianmo escorted Zhang Sao to the hospital entrance, said goodbye, and went directly to the Bai family's old residence.
Grandpa Bai was somewhat surprised to see Bai Qianmo come over so late at night.
Then, as if he understood something, he didn't ask Bai Qianmo another question.
"Sister Zhao, prepare some late-night snacks for Miss."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Bai Qianmo placed the pastries next to the old man and opened the box: "Grandpa, try these pastries."
Old Bai glanced at the pastries in the box: "You came all this way so late at night just to bring me pastries."
Bai Qianmo nodded: "I originally planned to send it yesterday, but something came up and I was delayed. Please try it." Bai Qianmo took out a piece of lotus cake and handed it to Old Master Bai.
Old Bai reached out and took it, then opened his mouth and tasted it.
"It tastes good, but this snack must be expensive."
“A friend gave this to you and your aunt to try. Grandpa, I want to discuss something with you.”
The old man lifted his eyelids and glanced at her: "I knew you had something on your mind. Go ahead and say it."
Bai Qianmo smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Yesterday, I heard my aunt say that the old house needs a housekeeper. Zhang Sao from Longxi Garden is very honest and hardworking, and she makes delicious soup. Isn't Zhao Saozi going back to her hometown soon? Instead of having a stranger come to our house, why not have Zhang Sao come over?"
Zhao's husband has been bedridden for many years, and his condition has worsened this year. The elderly in her family have called her many times to urge her to come home.
Helpless, Sister Zhao had no choice but to resign and prepare to go home in a few days.
Therefore, Xu Hualan has been looking for someone to replace Zhao Sao these past two days.
After eating the pastries, Old Bai took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.
Bai Qianmo immediately handed over the ginseng tea on the table.
"Why did she suddenly stop working at Longxiyuan?"
Bai Qianmo didn't want to speak ill of Han Songyan in front of the old man, so she pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Aunt Zhang is currently taking care of her grandson at the hospital. The child is only two years old and has pneumonia. I heard that the situation is very serious. She wants to stay at the hospital with the child for a while. Longxiyuan is also short of manpower for the time being, so Aunt Zhang resigned."
“I thought that Sister Zhao would be leaving for a while, and once Sister Zhang’s grandson is better, he can take over Sister Zhao’s job.”
Xu Hualan walked in from outside and smiled.
“Since it was Qianmo who strongly recommended her, she must be a good person. I was just worried about this. Sister Zhao has been working here for almost ten years, but she needs to go home to take care of her paralyzed husband right now, so she won’t be back for a while. But I don’t want to just find someone to deal with in the meantime, so let Sister Zhang come here later.”
With Xu Hualan's approval, Bai Qianmo felt that the matter was almost certainly settled.
The old man always approved of his aunt, and he wouldn't say much about the decisions she made.
"Then let her give it a try."
"Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Auntie. Auntie, please sit down and have some snacks."
Xu Hualan's gaze fell on the table, and she paused slightly, her expression momentarily stunned.
She was very familiar with these pastries. They were made by the pastry chef from the Gu family every year at the state banquet, and she would eat them every year, so she recognized them at a glance.
"Dad, do you think it tastes good?"
Old Bai laughed and said, "This tastes even more authentic than the pastries from that century-old shop nearby. Judging from the packaging and the exquisiteness of the pastries, most people probably can't afford it."
Let alone ordinary people, even someone like Old Bai, who considered himself quite knowledgeable, had never seen such a pastry before.
Xu Hualan chuckled, "Qianmo is so kind. These snacks are indeed something that ordinary people can't afford."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Xu Hualan, sensing that she seemed to know the origin of the desserts.
Thinking of what Grandma Gu had told her, Bai Qianmo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say it.
Because she hadn't yet figured out her feelings for Gu Jueye, it wasn't appropriate for Grandma Gu to say those words right now.
"Grandpa, Aunt, I'm going back to my room to study."
"Go ahead, but don't stay up too long."
Bai Qianmo nodded, then picked up her schoolbag and left the living room.

Inside a bar private room
When Bai Luoyu arrived, the private room was already quite full.
"Luo Yu, come this way." The one beckoning was Guo Qize, the second young master of the Guo family.
Bai Luoyu glanced at the people present; most were young people, but he didn't recognize most of them.
Today's gathering was organized by Guo Qize, and most of the people there were also Guo Qize's friends.
Bai Luoyu and Guo Qize only started interacting after the Bai Group invested in Huaxing Petroleum.
"Let me introduce you. This is Bai Luoyu, the young master of the Bai Group, and currently the vice president of the Bai Group."
Upon learning Bai Luoyu's identity, the men all rushed forward to try and establish a connection with him.
Women, seeing Bai Luoyu's outstanding appearance and how he stood out in the crowd, couldn't help but take a second look.
"The young master of the Bai family is really handsome. I heard he's a top student who came back from a brothel?"
"Yes, he's a well-known eligible bachelor in the capital, and it's said that he keeps his private life quite low-key. So far, I haven't heard of him getting entangled with any woman."
"His mother is Han Songyan. I think Han Songyan is too picky. Maybe she's just strict with her own son."
"You guys are thinking too much, already thinking about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues so quickly?"
The girls were joking around when the door to the private room was pushed open again.
In the dim light, a tall figure walked in.
"Isn't this Zhang Yafei? What's she doing here?" Many people in the private room were surprised to see the big star Zhang Yafei.
