Zong Jia chuckled and leaned down to kiss her index finger. "Little Pear, no matter what happens in the outside world, you will always be the only one in my heart."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and nodded. "Yes, I believe you."
After saying that, she stood up and stretched. "You go ahead with your work. I'll take a nap in your break room. I'll go to Chengcheng's house to see her cat later."
"Looking at cats?" Zong Jia asked curiously. "If Xiao Lizi likes cats, should we get two?"
She waved her hand and said, "My mom is allergic to cat fur, so I'll just go to Chengcheng's house to have some fun."
"Okay, then you can rest."
Around four o'clock, Yan Chengcheng called, "Xiao Li, a worker at the Baocheng Garment Factory has been hospitalized due to overwork. I need to go there to deal with it."
Xiaoyue has a key to my house. Why don't you come with her to my house this afternoon to see the cat?
“Then let’s check another day.” She frowned and asked, “What’s the situation with the workers being overworked? We’ve already established work regulations, with weekly and monthly overtime limits. How could this happen?”
Yan Chengcheng replied, "When I went to inspect the Baocheng Garment Factory at the beginning of the month, I saw the overtime records. The workers' overtime hours were all within the prescribed range."
I think the initial investigation suggests the problem lies with the factory, but I'll need to go there to find out the specifics.
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Okay, then be careful on the way. When you get to the factory, be sure to handle things properly and remember to calm the workers down."
At this critical stage, production must not be affected, and there must be no negative news.
"Okay, don't worry, I know what to do."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoli looked at Yan Chengcheng's name on the phone screen and couldn't help but chuckle.
She still remembers when she was discussing cooperation with "First Garment Factory". Yan Chengcheng was always by her side and could only run errands and make phone calls to arrange meeting times.
In just a few years, she has grown into a capable professional.
Zong Jiayu heard her on the phone and pushed the door open to come in. "What happened at '307'?"
She sat on the bed and gently shook her head. "It's nothing, Chengcheng will handle it. It's just that we can't go see the cat today."
Zong Jia walked to the bedside and tidied her messy hair. "Shall we go home now?"
Jiang Xiaoli looked up at him, "Is the big boss leaving early today?"
"Hehe." Zong Jiayu said with a light laugh, "Not having to clock in and out is a privilege of the boss."
After getting home and changing into their pajamas, their first instinct was to check on their daughter.
Little Xiaoxiao is awake right now, and Li Guizhi is sitting next to her watching her blow bubbles.
Jiang Xiaoli gently pressed a bib against her daughter's lips to wipe away the drool.
Li Guizhi gave her seat to Zong Jiayu, saying, "Ayu, come over here."
Xiaoxiao was about to express her dissatisfaction when she saw that someone else had come to her side, but Zong Jiayu attracted her attention by turning a rattle drum.
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little girl, you're so easy to fool. You'll have to be smarter in the future. Don't let someone trick you with a little gadget, or your mother won't be able to stand it."
Li Guizhi retorted, "You're just spouting nonsense all day long. Our Xiaoxiao is very smart!"
She watched the girl's little mouth open in a happy smile, looking so innocent and cute, and she couldn't see a trace of shrewdness in her.
She looked up at her mother, and then at Zong Jiayu.
She suddenly felt that the pressure of educating her daughter in the future would be a bit too much. She would have to outwit and outmaneuver both the mother who dotes on her grandchildren and her husband who is a doting father. This was no easy task!
During dinner, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Mom, when we were chatting the other day, you mentioned that those friends you met at the culinary association were looking for jobs. Have they found any yet?"
Li Guizhi shook her head. "I'm not too sure about that. Maybe not yet. It seems like they're discussing going back to their hometown. The cost of living in Kyoto is too high."
She thought for a moment and said, "Could you help me ask around? If they haven't found jobs yet, I can arrange some work for them."
Li Guizhi asked curiously, "Is your company cafeteria short-staffed?"
"It's not our company cafeteria, it's Ah and his place."
She put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm not going to '307' today. Xin Xin and the others are all complaining about how inconvenient it is to have lunch while working there."
Li Guizhi turned to look at Zong Jiayu, "Ayu, why haven't I heard you mention this before?"
"Mom, I've always eaten with Xiaolizi, so I didn't notice that."
He turned to her and asked, "Little Pear, do you mean you want to open a staff canteen by hiring a chef?"
Jiang Xiaoli shook her head. “What kind of place is ‘Jinghua Center’? It’s too expensive to open a restaurant there. I’m thinking of finding a location nearby to set up a kitchen.”
Based on the previous day's order volume, how about we deliver all the meals to the company at noon the following day?
“Okay.” Zong Jiayu nodded. “You don’t go there often, so leave this to me.”
Li Guizhi said with a smile, "Okay, Ayu, I'll give you their contact information in a bit. Their cooking skills will be perfect for making staff meals, and everyone will be satisfied!"
...
On Friday morning, Jiang Xiaoli and her group came to the airport to pick up someone.
Li Guizhi, arm in arm with Xu Feng, said with a smile, "Xiaoyu is back, aren't you happy?"
Xu Feng patted the back of her hand, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter, "Even though we video chat often, I still worry when the child isn't with me!"
Jiang Xiaoli nudged Jiang Chengle's arm, "Brother Le, you and Xiaoyu haven't seen each other for months, right? Aren't you excited?"
Jiang Chengle's expression was complicated. He said timidly, "Excited, but a little scared."
"Huh? What are you afraid of?" A lot of questions suddenly popped into her mind.
She pulled him aside and interrogated him, "Brother Le, you didn't do something to betray Xiaoyu, did you? I'm telling you, if you..."
"How could that be!" Jiang Chengle hurriedly covered her mouth. "I was just afraid that Xiaoyu was still angry with me because of the disaster relief work in Xingcheng. She called me and scolded me for half an hour back then."
After understanding the reason, Jiang Xiaoli let go of her hand. "I see..."
She looked at the man about to be judged with sympathy. "Brother Le, it's been so long. I don't think Xiaoyu is the type to bring up old grievances, is she?"
Jiang Chengle looked utterly dejected. "But yesterday, before Xiaoyu boarded the plane, we called each other, and she told me she was going to come back and settle scores with me. I racked my brains and realized that this was the only thing that could make her angry."
"Tsk!" Jiang Xiaoli decisively kept a two-meter distance from him. "Brother Le, you, with your criminal record, shouldn't get so close to me."
After muttering to themselves for a while, Xiao Muyu and Dong Jing appeared in front of everyone pushing a luggage cart.
