The call was answered quickly, and after hearing her daughter's question, Zuo Yuzhen said directly, "You can go. Make sure you have a gift ready, let them know in advance, and be polite to everyone you meet..."
She went on and on with a bunch of instructions.
Yi Qiansheng: ...Should I say that his mother is truly wise and capable, allowing him to build a good relationship with his future mother-in-law in advance?
After hanging up the phone, Ning Yan said, "My mom said it's okay. You can go after I finish my work and my boss gives me time off. We can arrange a time then."
“Okay, as long as you can go, my parents will have time anytime.”
Ning Yan: ...Actually, Dad Yi should be even busier managing such a big company.
However, since she's a mama's girl, they'll just have to put up with it for a bit.
Yi Qiansheng had already arranged the restaurant for lunch. Ning Yan ate well. After lunch, Yi Qiansheng took her home and then tactfully said goodbye, "Get some rest. Call me when you wake up."
Ning Yan took the luggage, and seeing that the man was really leaving, she pulled him and kissed him on the lips. While the man was still in a daze, she pushed open her room door and went in, then slammed the door shut.
Yi Qiansheng was startled back to his senses by the sound of the door opening. He was initially happy, but then annoyed at his slow reaction. He should have pulled her back and asked her what she meant just now, and whether they were boyfriend and girlfriend now.
Ning Yan was really tired. She took a shower when she got home and went to bed immediately.
These two months of business trips have been incredibly tiring.
...
Ning Yan was busy for another week because her team had successfully found a rare metal mine. After careful surveying, they discovered that the reserves were quite substantial. The group of people who went on the business trip received a large bonus and a two-week vacation.
Life became quite comfortable.
On the first day of her holiday, Ning Yan went out shopping as soon as she woke up.
She wore out three pairs of sneakers during this business trip and needs to restock.
Fortunately, she received a lot of bonuses and subsidies this time, otherwise she would have had to pay extra for working a month.
Around 11 o'clock, Yi Qiansheng called, "Are you awake?"
"Yeah, we've been shopping at the mall for a while now."
"Then come to my company for lunch. A very talented chef has come to the company cafeteria; his cooking is exceptional."
Ning Yan: Okay, I'm tired from shopping too, I'll head over now.
The shopping mall wasn't far from Yi Qiansheng's company. After a bit of traffic, he arrived just as Yi Qiansheng was getting off work at noon.
Having received prior instructions, Ning Yan successfully boarded the elevator to the eighteenth floor.
The secretary led her into the president's office—yes, it was a man.
"President, Miss Ning has arrived."
Yi Qiansheng had already stood up. "Okay, thank you for your help. You can go home now."
Ning Yan looked around Yi Qiansheng's office. Her first impression was that it was clean and tidy, with nothing superfluous. Apart from the essentials such as bookshelves, sofas, desks, and coffee tables, there was nothing else.
This shows that he is not a person who craves pleasure.
"My space is quite simple; does it look uncomfortable to look at?"
"No, I feel fine."
She also doesn't want to have a lot of things she doesn't need in her space.
Yi Qiansheng went to pull people away again; this had become a habitual action of his.
"Then could you come more often in the future?"
Do you work on Saturdays and Sundays?
Yi Qiansheng fell silent. He had forgotten that both of them had to go to work, especially Ning Yan, who couldn't be late or leave early at will. Unlike him, the company was his own, and no one cared if he was late or left early. Asking her to come see him often was indeed a bit difficult.
"Then it's alright if you come to my house tomorrow, right?"
Ning Yan nodded: "As long as it's convenient for you and your aunt, I can do it."
Yi Qiansheng quickly took out his phone to send a message to his mother, and then took Ning Yan's hand, "Let's go, let's go eat."
It wasn't that Yi Qiansheng didn't understand romance; he mainly wanted to take his girlfriend around the company to announce that he was taken, so that the female employees who wanted to marry into wealthy families would also give up their ambitions. Otherwise, if they tried to seduce him again, he really wouldn't be polite.
Jiaxun Games has developed rapidly, reaching a market value of several billion in just a few years. The company's restaurant is also very high-end, providing four meals a day, namely breakfast, lunch, and a late-night snack. In special circumstances, the president will even pay out of his own pocket to provide extra meals for the employees.
On ordinary days, they can eat those precious seafood and steaks. In particular, their company's meal allowance is very high. Employees are even reluctant to go out to eat when they have a meal together, because their own company restaurant is much more upscale than other restaurants.
When Yi Qiansheng appeared at the restaurant hand in hand with Ning Yan, it attracted everyone's attention.
Yi Qiansheng deliberately led Ning Yan to walk around all the windows on the first floor before asking Ning Yan's opinion: "How is it? Does it look appetizing? Which one do you want to eat? I'll have them make it for us right away."
The two had a height difference of about thirteen or fourteen centimeters, so when Yi Qiansheng spoke, he would lower his head slightly with a faint smile on his lips. The person he was looking at had a slender figure and a flowing long dress. The sight made everyone in the restaurant unable to help but smile like an aunt, feeling a sense of adoration.
Ning Yan: "What should I do if I want to eat them all? It seems I really need to find an opportunity to come here more often in the future."
Actually, their workplace has a two-and-a-half-hour lunch break, so they have plenty of time to come over for a meal.
Yi Qiansheng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to get this perk just from bringing his girlfriend to the restaurant. If he had known, he would have brought her here long ago. "Then it's settled. You can't make any more excuses to refuse."
Ning Yan ignored him and started ordering, "Grilled oysters, steamed scallops with garlic and vermicelli, braised pork hock, stir-fried pea shoots, and you can order the rest."
Yi Qiansheng ordered four more dishes and instructed the chef to make the portions smaller so that they wouldn't be left uneaten. He then took Ning Yan to his private room on the second floor.
"Are you craving barbecue? How about I take you out for dinner tonight?"
Ning Yan: "I haven't even had lunch yet and you're already thinking about dinner. Are you planning not to let me go back this afternoon either?"
Yi Qiansheng said frankly, "You rarely have a holiday, so I want to spend more time with you."
Ning Yan sat down in the chair and tugged at Yi Qiansheng, "Then let's not leave." Anyway, she didn't have anything to do and didn't mind spending some time with her boyfriend.
Soon the food was served, and the grilled oysters were even sizzling. The aroma quickly filled the entire space. Ning Yan took a deep breath and enjoyed it, then put on disposable gloves and started eating.
After eating for a while, she noticed that the man had been staring at her.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Luckily I'm thick-skinned, or you'd make me too embarrassed to eat."
"Watching you eat makes me feel really hungry, like you're eating some kind of delicacy."
Ning Yan: "Then you can watch it, it's free."
Yi Qiansheng couldn't help but chuckle. He had never imagined that one day he would meet a girl who made him feel so relaxed and whom he cherished so much, but now that he had met her, he would never let go. (End of Chapter)
