That evening,
Chen Niaoshu returned to Beijing and was immediately escorted back to the compound by the housekeeper.
Grandpa Chen was waiting for her in the living room.
There was no one else at home; the old man had sent them all away.
“Grandpa,” her heart skipped a beat.
The last time she acted like this was when she didn't do well on her junior high school final exams.
What happened today?
"Do you still have any regard for the Chen family?"
"I've put the order on hold today. What are your thoughts on that?" Old Master Chen squinted, his gaze sharp as he looked at her.
How long has it been since he last really looked at his granddaughter?
The Lu family's granddaughter has achieved great success in Fuzhou. Now, everyone in the compound praises her.
If the price of this order gets out, who will Chen Jiacheng be?
"Grandpa, I didn't try to negotiate the price..."
She suddenly stopped.
These words might fool others, but how could they fool Grandpa?
Chen Niaoshu felt a tremor in her heart.
"Bang!" Old Master Chen slammed his hand on the table, his lips trembling with anger.
"After going abroad, you've even forgotten your own name?"
"Lu Qiuying went to Fushi and secured the port reconstruction project, which made the Lu family proud."
"You're something else, going and ripping people off."
"If I hadn't kept it under wraps, this would have spread throughout the compound by tomorrow. Do you want to be infamous?"
Chen Niaoshu then realized with fear that she had acted too impulsively today.
Now that Miko knows the offer and the contract has been signed, what if she suddenly backs out...?
Chen Niaoshu pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Re-sign this order. As for the company, I'll have the Fuzhou Foreign Trade Department send them a fax. You don't need to worry about it," said Old Master Chen with a disappointed look.
He never expected his granddaughter to be so inconsiderate.
"Shushu, did something happen to you in Fuzhou?"
"Is Granny Lan's apprentice too outstanding?" Old Master Chen always felt that his granddaughter's change was a bit too abrupt.
She wasn't this reckless when she returned to China.
Chen Niaoshu looked up at him and asked, "Grandpa, is my betrothal with the Lu family still valid?"
Suddenly, a thought occurred to her, and jealousy began to creep into her heart.
Old Master Chen narrowed his eyes, a glint of shrewdness in them. "You still have feelings for that boy from the Lu family?"
Chen Niaoshu paused for a few seconds, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
She didn't have any ulterior motives; she was just unwilling to accept it.
Why would Lu Yun Shen look down on her and prefer a novice to test the ship?
Chen Niaoshu felt that her professional abilities were being questioned.
It was just a casual remark...
No, she was jealous that Lin Ziyan's professional abilities were recognized by Lu Yunshen.
“We broke off our engagement with the Lu family a long time ago.” Old Master Chen calmed down, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
After all, she was his granddaughter whom he had spoiled since she was a child, so he couldn't bear to scold her too much.
Chen Niaoshu nodded slightly, "Grandpa, I didn't think things through this time. There won't be a next time."
She sincerely admitted her mistake and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Grandpa helped suppress it, otherwise...
"Next time you make an important decision, calm down first," Grandpa Chen said, pushing a cup of tea towards her.
“That boy from the Lu family isn’t good enough for you. Grandpa will find you someone better.”
"Furthermore, it's best if we don't form a marriage alliance with the Lu family." Old Master Chen frowned slightly.
He was well aware that the military and the government were not the same as family.
Chen Niaoshu simply lowered her head and drank her tea, without saying anything more.
She's not even planning to get married, can't she just date and have some fun?
A dark glint flashed in Chen Niaoshu's eyes as she thought of her boyfriend in Germany.
…
The next day, news of what happened at the seafood market reached Xiao Jin's ears.
He was making tea in his office when an uninvited guest arrived at the door.
Upon seeing his elder brother, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes.
"Brother, what brings you to Fuzhou to see me?"
Xiao Qi walked to the wooden sofa and sat down, looking at her calm and composed younger brother.
He investigated in the financial sector, but still found nothing.
This younger brother is hiding his true identity very well.
“I have a job nearby, so I just drive through Fushi and come here to take a look.”
"I didn't tell my family before I came back, otherwise I wouldn't have been sent to this remote and impoverished place," Xiao Qi said with a faint smile.
Xiao Jin: "If I were really transferred back to Beijing, would you be at ease?"
He sneered, showing no respect or affection for the elder brother in front of him.
If he hadn't gone abroad back then, he would definitely have been spoiled rotten by his older brother by now.
The "praise to death" tactic wasn't limited to him.
During the first two years after going abroad, no matter how difficult things were for Xiao Jin, she never asked her family for help.
His older brother even had someone lure him into smoking marijuana.
Xiao Jin: "Big brother, what are you feeling guilty about?"
Faced with his cold gaze, Xiao Qi felt a moment of panic.
Xiao Jin is the only younger brother who has escaped his control.
"You're overthinking it. I just came to see you," Xiao Qi said calmly.
"I don't care about the Xiao family's things, you can leave now," Xiao Jin said rudely.
He thought to himself and sneered, never expecting his dear cousin to be so impatient.
His older brother must have helped with the seafood market incident.
These two are a perfect match.
But what would my sister-in-law think if she knew?
…
A few days later,
Lin Ziyan encountered Shen Hai and her teacher's wife Min Jing at the fish farm.
She felt ashamed. "Teacher's wife, come to my house for dinner tonight. You've been here for so many days, and I haven't been able to properly entertain you."
Min Jing waved her hand, saying that she had been busy lately, running around everywhere and had no time to spare.
“Alright then, I’ll bring her over tonight,” Shen Hai replied without ceremony.
He had barely finished speaking when Min Jing patted him on the shoulder, "You're really something."
