Wen Ziqing wasn't bored at all, and would occasionally chime in on topics Zhou Yuanyuan was interested in. Before Zhou Yuanyuan knew it, they had been chatting for nearly an hour before reluctantly cutting off the call.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the time. It was already ten o'clock. Shouldn't the party be over by now?
General Zhou's sleep schedule was always very regular. Ten o'clock in the evening was the time for General Zhou to go to bed. Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice what was going on downstairs.
Zhou Yuanyuan was a little surprised. She had just slipped away quietly. She wondered if Sister Cao would misunderstand?
Just as Zhou Yuanyuan was about to go downstairs to touch up the painting, there was a knock on the door.
"Yuanyuan, are you asleep?" Zhao Yunxiang's voice sounded at the door.
"Mom, I haven't slept yet." Zhou Yuanyuan answered loudly.
Without waiting for Zhao Yunxiang to turn the door, Zhou Yuanyuan hurried over and opened it.
Zhao Yunxiang looked at Zhou Yuanyuan with complicated eyes, seeming a little relieved, but also a little conflicted.
"Mom, is there something wrong?" Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little strange when she saw Zhao Yunxiang not saying anything and just staring at her.
"Good boy, mom knows I've wronged you." Zhao Yunxiang made up her mind and walked in.
"Huh? What did I feel wronged about?" Zhou Yuanyuan was puzzled.
"To be honest, Mom doesn't like her either. Our preferences as mother and daughter are exactly the same." Zhao Yunxiang took Zhou Yuanyuan's hand and patted it gently on the back of her hand to convey her comfort.
Who doesn't he like? Zhou Yuanyuan was completely confused. It had only been a while since we last met! What had happened?
Before Zhou Yuanyuan could say anything, Zhao Yunxiang turned around, closed the door, walked to Zhou Yuanyuan's bed and sat down.
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan standing still, Zhao Yunxiang called out, "Yuanyuan, come here. Let's have a good chat tonight, mother and daughter."
"Mom, who do you dislike?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked as she sat next to Zhao Yunxiang.
"Yuanyuan, mom knows you don't like Zhao Cao being your sister-in-law. Don't worry. In a few days, after mom has convinced your brother, I will let her go back to where she came from." Zhao Yunxiang.
"Mom, I don't dislike Sister Cao! Besides, as long as my brother likes it, it's none of my business." Zhou Yuanyuan quickly expressed her attitude. She was afraid that Zhao Yunxiang would lead her into trouble.
At first, Zhou Yuanyuan thought Zhao Yunxiang had come to her because she needed her help with something related to the new company. She hadn't expected Zhao Yunxiang to ask for help with something related to a certain grass. Ugh! What was going on? Just now, Zhou Yuanyuan was wondering if she'd just run away and if grass would misunderstand her. But what happened? It wasn't grass that misunderstood her, but her own mother.
"Ah? Then why did you hide upstairs quietly? Mom thought you didn't like Cao being your sister-in-law!" Zhao Yunxiang was stunned.
Zhao Yunxiang came to Zhou Yuanyuan to form an alliance.
Originally, Zhao Yunxiang had accepted Zhao Cao's fate as her future daughter-in-law, seeing that General Zhou was happy and Zhou Jiasheng liked her. However, after seeing Zhou Yuanyuan leave midway and not appear for a long time, Zhao Yunxiang's thoughts began to stir again.
Zhao Yunxiang knew that General Zhou listened to Zhou Yuanyuan the most. As long as Zhou Yuanyuan didn't like Cao, the relationship between Cao and Zhou Jiasheng would basically be over.
"Mom, I went upstairs because..." Zhou Yuanyuan paused. Zhao Yunxiang knew nothing about Zhou Yuanyuan's cultivation, so the matter of the communication talisman could not be made public.
Zhou Yuanyuan glanced around the bedroom and saw the newly connected extension phone on the bedside table. She immediately had an idea: "Mom, Brother Ziqing and I made an appointment to call tonight. I just went back to the bedroom to wait for Brother Ziqing's call! I didn't want to disturb everyone's conversation, so I left without saying a word."
"Mom, I'm sorry! Next time if I have something to do, I will definitely tell everyone before I leave. Did I make you worried just now?" Zhou Yuanyuan leaned her head on Zhao Yunxiang's shoulder and acted coquettishly.
What are you worried about? My happiness is in vain. Zhao Yunxiang's face showed a hint of disappointment.
It seems that Cao's becoming Jiasheng's daughter-in-law is a done deal.
Zhao Yunxiang sighed secretly in her heart.
"Is Ziqing okay? Yuanyuan, Ziqing must be very tired after being outside. You can't always be mean to Ziqing. Girls should be tough when they need to be tough, and gentle when they need to be gentle." Seeing that it was hopeless to make Zhou Yuanyuan her ally, Zhao Yunxiang had to change the topic to admonishing Zhou Yuanyuan.
In the eyes of everyone in the Zhou family, Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing were always the ones who bullied her. On the other hand, Wen Ziqing had always been very tolerant of Zhou Yuanyuan. Regardless of her temper or tantrums, Wen Ziqing would always comfort her.
Yes, Zhao Yunxiang couldn’t stand Zhou Yuanyuan’s “call when she wants and dismiss when she wants” behavior towards Wen Ziqing.
"Yes, Mom, I will." A hint of shyness appeared on Zhou Yuanyuan's face at the right time.
"I'm glad you know. I was really worried before. Ziqing treats you much better than you treat him." Zhao Yunxiang rolled her eyes at her daughter. It was a rare opportunity to teach her almost all-powerful daughter a lesson, and Zhao Yunxiang felt quite accomplished.
"Yeah, Mom, it's getting late, you should go and have a rest! You've been busy setting up the new company, thank you for your hard work." Afraid that Zhao Yunxiang would draft the document poorly again, Zhou Yuanyuan's mouth was as sweet as honey, and she only said what Zhao Yunxiang liked to hear.
"What's so hard about it? It's still the same work. By the way, your Aunt Qiuyu is going to resign from her public office after the summer vacation and concentrate on the new company." Zhao Yunxiang has really achieved a lot in opening a new company. It only took a few days for Zhao Yunxiang to build the framework of the new company. The rest is to wait for the foreign machines to arrive, and the daily chemical products company can start to operate normally.
What made Zhao Yunxiang happiest was Chen Qiuyu's recognition of this career. These days, having a proper job is much more popular than starting your own business.
Chen Qiuyu was willing to give up her teaching job and devote herself fully to the new company, which truly touched Zhao Yunxiang. However, while Zhao Yunxiang was touched, she was also a little worried. Business is business, and no matter what business you start, profits are never guaranteed. If the new company didn't perform as well as expected, Zhao Yunxiang would feel sorry for her good friend.
After listening to Zhao Yunxiang's words, Zhou Yuanyuan remembered something.
"Mom, I heard there is a policy of unpaid leave now. You should talk to Aunt Qiuyu. If she wants to resign, it would be better for her to go through the unpaid leave procedures first." Zhou Yuanyuan suggested.
