As they were talking, the waiters brought out all the dishes one by one.
Jiang Xiaoli explained, "Since I don't know your taste, I ordered some of this restaurant's signature dishes. Try them and see if you like them."
Joseph picked up the chopsticks like he was holding a pen, which looked extremely awkward, but it didn't affect his speed in picking up food at all.
He said with great pride, "Although my chopsticks technique is not standard, I am a loyal fan of Chinese cuisine. Jiang, thank you for inviting me to taste such delicious food."
She suppressed the urge to teach him how to use chopsticks and smiled, saying, "Hehe, as long as you like it."
The lunch was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.
As Joseph left, he said with a smile, "Jiang, thank you and your husband for your hospitality."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "I hope you'll come to like China and create amazing works. I'm really looking forward to the 'Hanberg' new product launch."
Watching him leave, Zong Jiayu took her hand and got into the car. "Thank you, Chairman Jiang, for taking me back to the 'Jinghua Center'."
She smiled and said, "Let's go."
When she said she was giving someone a ride, she only took Zong Jiayu to the entrance of the "Jinghua Center".
She rolled down the car window and waved to him, "Bye-bye!"
On the way back to the company, she instructed, "When you get back, tell Zhu Han to inform Qiao Ru to quickly reserve an office floor at 'Jinghua Center,' and also to send Joseph a copy of 'Jiang's Entertainment's' artist photo album."
Cao Jie nodded in agreement.
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly became interested, "Cao Jie, have you felt any progress in your studies with Zhu Han lately?"
A person who was driving with their whole body relaxed suddenly tensed up.
Cao Jie swallowed hard. "Chairman Jiang, is this a random test?"
Seeing how nervous she was, Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Don't panic, I was just asking casually. If Zhu Han's method works for you, then continue. If it's not very effective, I'll try a different approach."
Cao Jie breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Assistant Zhu is very dedicated. She taught me a lot. There is just too much knowledge I lack. I can only learn related content when I encounter a problem, so it is a bit disorganized."
"I see." Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "That's normal. Systematic learning takes a lot of time. It's good to learn whatever problems you encounter at work. As long as you master the content you don't know, that's good enough."
Cao Jie finally smiled and said, "Chairman Jiang, I feel like this period has been very fulfilling, as if my brain, which I didn't use before, has suddenly been developed."
"Hahaha." She couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You think you're a robot?"
Unexpectedly, Cao Jie's tone revealed a hint of envy, "If only it were a robot, at least it could remember everything it saw."
She laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Cao Jie, I've never realized you're so funny."
Cao Jie chuckled, "Chairman Jiang, I'm so stupid, I'm just trying to make the best of a bad situation."
Jiang Xiaoli comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, every effort will be rewarded. I look forward to seeing the day when you can stand on your own."
"Yes, I will!" Cao Jie said firmly.
Back at the "Jiang's Building", she went straight to "307".
Yan Chengcheng came to the company after her morning flight arrived in Kyoto. Ren Zhiyi was kicked out by her grandfather. The group of them were chatting about fast fashion brands.
Jiang Xiaoli knocked twice on the door of the small conference room, then pushed the door open and entered. "I'm back. How did your discussion go?"
Hu Jingxin smiled and waved the document in her hand, "We all think that Qian Yi's proposal basically doesn't need any changes. We're just waiting for you to review it and make a decision."
She raised an eyebrow. "None of you have any objections, so you see Qian Yi does have some skills!"
Yan Chengcheng yawned, "It still has to be Chairman Jiang who makes the final decision!"
While Jiang Xiaoli was reviewing the proposal, Chang Yue couldn't help but ask, "Chengcheng, what's wrong with you? You've been yawning the whole time you've come to the company today. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Yan Chengcheng yawned again, causing Hu Jingxin to open her mouth involuntarily.
She replied, "I don't call it not getting enough rest, I call it not sleeping at all!"
Ren Zhiyi turned her head and asked, "Did you stay up all night reading novels again?"
"No, no, there hasn't been anything interesting to watch lately," Yan Chengcheng said casually. "I spent the whole night taking care of the child last night."
"Taking care of children? What's going on?"
Yan Chengcheng explained, "My parents went back to the countryside to visit relatives early yesterday morning, and there wasn't much food at home in the evening, so I went out to eat."
On my way home, I saw a group of kids beating someone up, and out of sympathy, I called out for the police.
After the group of children ran away, I went closer and saw that the one who had been beaten was one of my neighbor's kids. The child's face was covered in blood and he was unconscious, so I took him to the hospital and stayed with him there overnight.
Hu Jingxin asked curiously, "Isn't that child your neighbor? Why didn't you notify his family?"
Yan Chengcheng sighed, "That child is quite pitiful. His father was a policeman who was killed in the process of arresting a fugitive. His mother was in a daze after her father's accident and was hit by a car, resulting in the amputation of both her legs."
His family usually lives on his father's pension and the help from his former colleagues. Notifying his family is useless; his mother has difficulty going out, and his other relatives all avoid him.
"Was he awake when you left the hospital?" Jiang Xiaoli asked.
Yan Chengcheng nodded, "He woke up. I gave that kid a good scolding, but I scolded the wrong person, which made me feel really guilty."
"What happened?"
"Sigh, I saw that he was awake and nothing serious happened, so without understanding what happened, I scolded him for not learning good things and for picking fights with others."
The boy remained silent for a long time before finally saying that he had collected and sold recyclables for some money, and that the group of kids had tried to rob him, which was why he was beaten up when he refused to give them to them.
The people in the meeting room fell silent; they all understood why she felt guilty.
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment and asked, "Chengcheng, how old is this child? Is he still in school?"
Yan Chengcheng replied, "He's either 15 or 16 years old. He'll be graduating from junior high soon. This morning, he said he didn't plan to continue his studies and wanted to drop out to work and support himself and his mother."
"Do you know how his studies are going?" she continued.
"I'm not too sure about that, but it should be pretty good. I even saw him tutoring the elementary school students downstairs during the Chinese New Year."
