Upon hearing this, Wu Qiaoling seemed nonchalant and casually replied, "How different can Duoduo's be from ours?"
Seeing this, Guo Ni continued, "Duoduo is already married now, and she has her own little family. Besides, even if someone like Qian Xiang works at Duoduo's company, he's still just an employee. We can't just treat company property as our own."
Faced with Guo Ni's relentless lecturing, Wu Qiaoling couldn't help but feel a little displeased. She turned to He Ying and suggested, "Mom, since we're going out with quite a lot of people this time, why don't you go and tell Duo Duo?"
Seeing that Guo Ni did not approve of this matter, He Ying said, "Let's talk about this when the eldest and second eldest brothers come back. We don't know where to buy it or how to buy it. Besides, we can't understand the language here. We don't want to be taken advantage of again."
Wu Qiaoling thought about it and realized it made sense. She said, "I've heard there are quite a few human traffickers out here. Let's listen to Mother."
As night fell, the three Qian brothers finally finished their busy day at work and dragged their slightly tired bodies home.
As soon as I entered, Guo Ni greeted me and asked with concern, "Are you very busy today?"
Qian Xiang handed the clothes to Guo Ni, saw that there was water in his water glass, picked it up and drank it. He felt like a traveler who had found water in the desert and had finally come back to life. He sat on the sofa, sighed and said, "It's almost the New Year, and all the reports for the company's projects have been submitted. In the past, Qian Mao would do this kind of thing, but he's in the Northeast now, so he asked us to go and look at the reports. I feel like everything is blurry now. Maybe I'll become nearsighted before I get presbyopia."
Listening to Qian Xiang's words, Guo Ni laughed and said, "Look at you, so capable. When I was at work, there were all kinds of reports before the New Year. I was dizzy from looking at all those forms."
Qian Xiang smiled and said, "Then you haven't seen our report. It's so thick, I'm really going crazy."
Guo Ni looked at the distance between Qian Xiang's index finger and thumb and said with a smile, "If you're in a position, you should do your job. You can't just take the money and not do any work."
Qian Xiang glanced around and saw that it was just the two of them, so he leaned his upper body against Guo Ni and said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "Wife, I'm just tired."
Guo Ni smiled and patted Qian Xiang's head, saying, "The New Year is just around the corner, and my daughters and I are thinking we need to buy some New Year's goods! Could you ask my second uncle's family what they're planning to do?"
Qian Xiang nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Sure, no problem. By the way, the Laba Festival is just around the corner, so you and Mom should cook some more Laba porridge and send some over to my close colleagues so they can all try our family's cooking."
Hearing this, Guo Ni smiled and nodded in agreement: "Sure, I'll take care of this little thing. But when you meet Qian Yin, tell him that Qiaoling mentioned today that she wanted to use the company bus to take them shopping for New Year's goods. Normally, borrowing a company car for shopping wouldn't be a problem; we can just pay the company a rental fee. But the problem is, look at how casually she uses her own things, as if the company belongs to her. I don't think that's a good thing!"
Qian Xiang sighed and said, "You don't know, this time when we came here for the New Year, not only the second son's wife, but also the wives of the Jin brothers were jumping around. Once I even heard Jin Shen and his wife arguing in a corner because Jin Shen's wife wanted his younger brother to come here to work and asked Jin Shen to arrange a job where he could manage people."
Guo Ni sighed and said, "The falling flowers are dazzling, and they came here because they were captivated by the appearance of Yangcheng and Dongfang Huating. They have never seen those places where people really suffer." She looked around and said, "This is not my first time here, so I am quite accepting. But this is the first time I have ever stayed in a villa like this. To be honest, if I didn't have a job in Harbin, I would really like to come here and try my luck."
Upon hearing Guo Ni's words, Qian Xiang's lips unconsciously curled up into a warm yet slightly teasing smile: "Wife, if you came to work here, Duo Duo would definitely jump for joy!" As he spoke, he gently shook his head, as if he could already imagine that scene.
Guo Ni glanced at him and replied with a smile, "Really? Maybe. Duo Duo and I have been close since childhood, but I work in the system and don't want to resign." Her eyes flickered slightly. The couple had often lived apart for the past few years. When Qian Xiang went on business trips, he would return to Harbin. Absence made the honeymoon feel better. The men in the Qian family were quite traditional. Even though they had money, they didn't indulge in extravagance. Guo Ni was quite content with this.
As if remembering something, she said with emotion, "To be honest, I never imagined that Duoduo and I would have so many stories together. What's even more amazing is that we are surprisingly similar in our interests, hobbies, and views on various things."
Qian Xiang nodded in agreement, his gentle smile still on his face. He cheekily pressed his upper body against Guo Ni, rested his chin on her shoulder, stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace, whispering, "This is fate."
Just then, a slight but clear sound reached their ears—the sound of the key turning in the villa's front door. Qian Xiang immediately sat up straight, his gaze fixed on the doorway. Soon, He Ying led the two children inside. Upon seeing Qian Xiang and Guo Ni, He Ying's face lit up with a bright smile, and she said warmly, "Oh dear, I figured you'd be back soon, eldest son. I've already prepared dinner at the second son's place, just waiting for you to come home and eat!"
Qian Xiang quickly got up to greet them, took Guo Ni's hand, and together they walked towards Qian Yin's house next door. The couple followed closely behind He Ying as they slowly entered, with Qian Gui and Wang Rui arriving behind them. After washing their hands, everyone sat around the dining table, enjoying the delicious food. It seemed that most people had already finished eating.
After scanning the room, Wu Qiaoling's gaze fell on Qian Xiang, and she said with a smile, "Brother, you are now the manager of Wanmao Company! The New Year is just around the corner, could you arrange for a company vehicle to take us to buy some New Year's goods?"
