Backhand
The opportunity that Jian Jianan had been waiting for was that Yu Chengyu came to visit his home again.
But this time, the kid seemed to have learned his lesson from the last time he was not welcomed. At least he knew that he should tell the host in advance before visiting his home.
Jian Jianan casually dropped the news at the dinner table. As expected, Shan Jiqing put down her chopsticks upon hearing, "Yu Chengyu is coming the day after tomorrow." After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Is that so... Then I'll cook for the guests myself that day and treat them well."
Jian Jianan smiled slyly and deliberately asked, "But don't you have plans for that day? You have to teach the students?"
Shan Jiqing waved his hand: "After my classes this afternoon, I'll rush back. I've calculated it, and I'll still be in time."
Jian Jianan nodded: "Oh, there's still time..."
She explained to Shan Jiqing, "Yu Chengyu definitely has bad intentions coming this time. I heard from Haiyan that Yu Chengyu and his people have been asking me about what I'm doing lately, as if they're worried that I might have some way to make money that I haven't told them. I guess he must have found out something, so he's coming to me like this."
Shan Jiqing nodded seriously, "I understand. I don't need to cook anything extravagant then. Just something edible will be fine."
Jian Jianan was very satisfied with the tacit understanding between the two of them and nodded in appreciation: "Right, that's right. Don't work too hard, wasting energy and time cooking. I'd feel bad if you got tired. It's not worth it to work so hard for someone like this, it's not worth it!"
"So, don't make the meal too sumptuous, just make it passable. If he wants to eat some delicacies, he can go somewhere else and not come to my house! Eat if you like, eat. If you don't like, get out!"
These words were said in a rather domineering manner, mainly because Jian Jianan didn't have any need to ask Yu Chengyu for anything now, not to mention that this person had caused considerable damage to the atmosphere of her small family in recent times, which made her even more unhappy.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shan Jiqing nodded with a smile.
That's what he said, but when the night really came, Shan Jiqing didn't do what he promised and only made some porridge and side dishes. It was so grand that people who didn't know him would think that Shan Jiqing was going to participate in a cooking competition!
Jian Jianan, who was reading documents at home, had been curled up on the sofa, covered with a blanket and feeling comfortable. Who knew that the doorbell at home had not stopped ringing since the sun rose.
"I ordered some food to be delivered to my home today. Nan Nan, please sign for it at home."
During breakfast, Shan Jiqing gave her a shot of prevention, and Jian Jianan agreed immediately. Unexpectedly, the ingredients he mentioned turned out to be as endless as running water. Could it be that the two people have different understandings of "home cooking"?
As soon as Shan Jiqing finished his teaching work at school, he drove back home. The moment he opened the door, he said hello to his girlfriend and then threw himself into the ingredients.
He checked it carefully, then rolled up his sleeves and started cooking.
Jian Jianan walked over to him, holding a glass of water. "Is it necessary? This person isn't some respected teacher, but a villain with ill intentions. I don't think it's worth it to treat him so grandly!"
Shan Jiqing acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to process the ingredients.
Jian Jianan rolled his eyes, no longer paying attention to what seemed to him to be a very childish scene, and continued to look at the document in his hand.
At 7:30 in the evening, Yu Chengyu arrived on time.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing welcoming him together. They were arm in arm, and anyone who saw them would have to praise them as "the golden boy and the jade girl".
A strange aroma wafted over from the dining table. Yu Chengyu couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He took a closer look. There were lobster baked in broth, scallop and scallop stew, boiled chicken, and salt and pepper mantis shrimp...
Looking at this extremely sumptuous meal, it seems that Jian Jianan has really put a lot of effort into entertaining me!
Yu Chengyu felt that tonight's dishes were quite to his liking, so he asked, "Boss Jian, where did you find your chef? Can you introduce him to me?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Jianan glanced at Shan Jiqing, who happened to be looking over as well. As the two looked at each other, Jian Jianan spoke tenderly and affectionately, "There's no such thing as a great chef. Mr. Yu, you think the food tonight is delicious only because the person who cooked it was emotional."
Yu Chengyu suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was not as delicious as before.
"Is that so? Haha, hahaha...you two have such a good relationship."
After eating and drinking, it was finally time to get down to business. Yu Chengyu's visit today was not just for the meal, his main purpose was to gather information.
"Boss Jian, what have you been busy with recently?"
Yu Chengyu went straight to the point.
Jian Jianan threw the subject back, "I'm busy with some household chores. Mr. Yu, do you feel that you're too busy and want me to go back to Nanjia to help? If you really need me, why bother visiting? It's just a phone call!"
Yu Chengyu quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I can handle it all. Why would I need Mr. Jian, who is so busy all the time?"
Are you kidding me?! He finally waited for the opportunity for Jian Jianan to leave Nanjia Capital, and then he had to gradually weaken Jian Jianan's influence in Nanjia and completely eliminate her. How could he let her come back?
"I just heard that you, Mr. Jian, seem to be busy again recently. Have you found a good way to make money? Why don't you tell the brothers?"
Jian Jianan smiled slightly and said in surprise: "How could I not tell you? How could I hide this from you all? If I remember correctly, I should have told you all as soon as we met!"
"I went back to help out at my family's company. The restaurant industry is booming and has great prospects, but that's all thanks to my parents' decision! I was just there to add to the fun!"
Jian Jianan was enthusiastically telling Yu Chengyu about the interesting things that happened when she went back to help. Suddenly, she became very tactless. She didn't notice that Yu Chengyu's face was getting uglier and uglier, and she became more and more excited as she talked.
"...So, if you want to gain a deeper understanding of an industry, you have to experience it yourself. Mr. Yu, isn't that the truth?"
What could Yu Chengyu say? He could only smile dryly and nod in agreement.
He felt that this was not going to work, so he simply asked her, "Mr. Jian, after all this talk, you still haven't told me the answer I gave you before. Are you only busy with your own company recently?"
Jian Jianan nodded: "Of course, what else can there be besides this?"
Yu Chengyu felt that he could not get the answer he wanted from Jian Jianan, so he simply got up and left.
Jian Jianan felt it was a bit strange at the time. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would give up so easily. A few days later he found out that Yu Chengyu hadn't made any moves yet!
