Bei Nan immediately fell silent. He glanced guiltily at Yan Xiaoqiang, wondering if his father would be furious if he found out that he had spent a huge sum of money, fifty or sixty thousand yuan, just for a divorce.
Yan Xiaoqiang snorted coldly: "I'm asking you a question, why are you afraid to answer? A real man should be responsible for his actions. What's wrong, you dare to do it but not take responsibility?"
Bei Nan muttered, "It didn't cost much, just the price of a few meals."
"How much exactly?" Yan Xiaoqiang demanded.
"Five, more than five thousand." Bei Nan lied.
Yan Xiaonan didn't want to watch anymore, so she stood up and helped her grandmother up, saying, "Grandma, let's go see Xiao Liujin. This month is the baby girl's one-month celebration, and as her aunt, I have to send her something."
Grandma Yan nodded: "My dear child, what should I send you?"
Yan Xiaonan took out a box from her backpack. Inside was a small wooden fish and a small gold bracelet: "Grandma, you gave me the bracelet, and I gave you the small wooden fish."
"Sigh, let's go." The two walked towards the back room.
Pushing open the door, Yan Aidang sat next to Ye Chen'er, feeling guilty and not daring to look at Yan Xiaonan. He knew that he was the one who hired the person to take the photos, so he was also involved in this divorce.
Yan Xiaonan pretended not to know and handed the box to Ye Chen'er. Ye Chen'er was very happy and quickly put the bracelet and wooden fish on Xiao Liujin.
"Little Liu Jin, thank you Auntie, thank you Great-Grandma!" Ye Chen'er picked up Little Liu Jin and teased him.
The little girl was very clever; she looked in Yan Xiaonan's direction and blew bubbles from her mouth.
Grandma Yan was overjoyed. This was such a clever little girl; she could blow bubbles in less than a month.
Fu Bao held Xiao Liu Jin's little hand and said, "Auntie, when can Xiao Liu Jin go out to play with me?"
Yan Xiaonan thought for a moment and said, "When my Fubao is five years old, Xiao Liujin will be able to run and talk. At that time, he will also snatch Fubao's food and toys."
Fu Bao patted Xiao Liu Jin's hand with a smile and said, "Fu Bao won't fight with Xiao Liu Jin. Fu Bao always lets Xiao Liu Jin have his way, because you're younger than me."
Ye Chen'er patted the bow on Fu Bao's head and praised her, "My Fu Bao is the best girl. When your little sister grows up, you two can have lots of fun together."
"Nan Nan, all the store managers and head chefs have been trained and performed very well in the assessments. The recruitment before the New Year has basically been completed. Shouldn't we start training the waiters as well?" Yan Aidang tried to ease the tension.
When it came to serious matters, Yan Xiaonan also became serious. The two left the back room and went to the living room to discuss things properly. When Bei Nan saw this, she quickly slipped in. Her father was too scary.
The group produced a floor plan of the clubhouse, with every corner arranged in order. They were just waiting for the roof to be completed next month so that interior decoration could begin.
The interior renovation will take at least three months, and with the ongoing operations, it should be possible to open in October this year.
Yan Aidang wasn't worried about the investment funds. He had already made a fortune from the successful construction bid, and he was confident he could afford the next round of investment. What he was worried about was the source of the sports equipment.
Bei Nan waved his hand dismissively. Mao Tou had already ordered golf clubs and some sports equipment in Vancouver, and he himself had visited all the sports equipment manufacturers in Beijing and Shanghai, ordering everything he could.
Yan Xiaonan looked at Bei Nan strangely, wondering what this had to do with Mao Tou.
I can only tell you the truth: this time, Mao didn't get any benefits when he came to China, so he's unhappy. That's why I gave Mao 10% of my share.
So now the operating costs are split as follows: the government takes 50%, Ye Chenming 20%, and Bei Nan, Ai Dang, and Mao Tou each take 10%.
Oh, everyone understands now. Bei Nan's relationship with Mao Tou is even better than Tie Ge's, after all, they are the same age and their thoughts and ideas are in sync.
Tie Ge was the most dedicated to the renovation of Tangchi. He and Ye Huixian had decided on the style of the renovation and even came up with the design drawings. Yan Xiaonan was amazed when she saw them. This renovation would not be out of style for twenty years.
The next morning, Tang Xiaoling took advantage of the two elders' inattention and ran to A Long's courtyard house. The gate of the courtyard house was wide open, and things were being moved inside.
Tang Xiaoling found it strange and ran to the yard to take a look. It wasn't the sofa she had slept on yesterday, so why had it been moved? And the cup she had used wasn't the one she had used either, and it was broken.
"Master, what are you doing?" Tang Xiaoling couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, who are you? What are you doing here?" a leader asked.
“My husband lives here,” Tang Xiaoling said.
"No one lives here. The male owner has been staying in Huacheng. He lent it to a man from out of town a while ago, but now that man has checked out and left. So the owner is going to throw away all the things he used and replace them with new ones," the leader replied.
Tang Xiaoling felt like she was going to faint. She muttered to herself, "This house isn't his. He rented it. He's gone. Where did he go? Right, the furniture factory."
Tang Xiaoling turned and ran towards the furniture factory. The man in charge shook his head and said, "Another intellectually disabled person who has been deceived."
At the entrance of the furniture factory, security guards stopped Tang Xiaoling. She wasn't a factory employee and wasn't allowed in; she needed to register if she was looking for someone. "Who are you looking for?" they asked.
"I'm looking for Zhou Bin, the Zhou Bin from your furniture factory," Tang Xiaoling said loudly.
“We don’t have that kind of person in our factory,” the security guard replied immediately.
Tang Xiaoling didn't believe it and shouted, "He was here just a few days ago, how could he be gone? Are you an accomplice, helping Zhou Bin hide from me? You bad person, where did you hide my man?!"
As he spoke, he started to fight. The security guard, who was originally a greenhorn, easily pinned Tang Xiaoling to the ground and shouted to the people inside the gatehouse, "Call the police! There are troublemakers here!"
Tang Xiaoling was taken away by the police. Her shouting did not attract Southwest's attention. The noise inside the machine room was much louder than outside. Besides, they were testing a new product, and Southwest's attention was on the wood.
Xu Da knew it, and Shen Shaohua knew it too. Neither of them wanted to even glance at Tang Xiaoling. Even if Bei Nan set up a honey trap for you, you remained steadfast and wouldn't fall for it.
The two felt very sorry for Southwest. He was such a man, so devoted to his family and children. Now, working at a furniture factory, he not only had to go to work but also go to school. It was so heartwarming.
For the first time, Shen Shaohua felt that Bei Nan, his younger brother, was doing a pretty good job. Not only did he buy a house for Xinan, but he also helped him get rid of his wife who was holding him back.
From now on, when this guy from the north comes over, I need to change my attitude. At least I should give him a good look. After all, he's the boss's older brother, so I can't go too far.
Xu Da thought for a moment and then went to the workshop. He told Southwest about Tang Xiaoling's matter. Southwest thought about it and told Xu Da to go find Tang Jianjun.
