Zhong Qing opened the mooncake box and looked up at Yan Yi sitting opposite her.

Yan Yi politely waved his hand and declined, "I don't like sweets."

Zhong Qing nodded, took a mooncake, opened the plastic bag, took a bite elegantly, and after chewing it carefully, her eyebrows curved slightly, and her face showed a satisfied look like a cat eating dried fish.

Yan Yi picked up the process sheet on the glass coffee table and placed it in front of Zhong Qing. "This is the process schedule for the engagement day. Take a look at it. If you think there is anything inappropriate, you can modify it."

Under normal circumstances, Zhong Qing would put down the mooncakes in her box. This is etiquette and upbringing, but she did not do so today.

She just glanced at the schedule and continued eating mooncakes while talking to Yan Yi: "No, I trust your arrangement, I have no objection."

Yan Yi didn't care either.

Anyway, the two of them are just cooperating and going through the process. It is enough to maintain the face of both families.

As if he didn't want to disturb her while she was eating, Yan Yi didn't say anything else. He just held his teacup and quietly looked at the scenery outside the balcony.

After finishing the whole mooncake, Zhong Qing picked up the teacup to suppress the sweetness in her mouth, and then said to Yan Yi with a satisfied look: "The mooncakes made by Mingzhu are really delicious, but it's a pity that you don't eat sweets."

Yan Yi turned his head and asked, "Did you meet her?"

"Yes, we not only met, but also became friends."

There was a hint of coldness in Yan Yi's thin eyes, "Ms. Zhong, I think our cooperative relationship should not involve other people."

Zhong Qing held her chin with her hand, a playful look on her face, "If you are worried that I will do something bad to her, there is no need to worry. I also find it strange that I have never deliberately looked for her, but I always run into her by coincidence. Maybe this is fate."

"...The more we get along and understand each other, the deeper my appreciation and love for her becomes. Sometimes I feel that she is like a small grass born in the wilderness, with a vigorous and upward spirit that refuses to accept fate. Unlike us, the rich and noble flowers carefully cultivated by our families, you only need to water her a little bit and she will grow tenaciously."

"I can feel freshness and fun in her. I can't help but be attracted to her. At the same time, I am also curious about what she will eventually become."

Perhaps sensing that Zhong Qing had no ill will towards Shen Mingzhu, Yan Yi did not continue the topic and instead fixed his gaze on the mooncake box on the coffee table. "Actually, it's okay to try it once in a while."

After saying that, he reached out to take it.

However, Zhong Qing quickly closed the mooncake box and held it in her arms, looking like she was cherishing it. "This is what Mingzhu gave me. If you want to eat it, you can ask her for it yourself, or go buy it."

As he said this, he threw the leftover mooncake bag to him as if giving alms.

Yan Yi: “…”

…

Yan Yi returned to his residence in the city center. When he was changing his clothes, he felt a piece of wrapping paper in his trouser pocket and was speechless.

After a moment, he sat down on the sofa, picked up the phone and called Ning Yuan.

"Are you free? Please buy me a few boxes of mooncakes and send them over."

Ning Yuan on the other end of the phone lazily replied: "I have plenty of mooncakes. I'll send them to you later."

Yan Yi frowned: "Who wants to eat your mooncakes? They taste terrible."

Ning Yuan teased, "Whose mooncakes are delicious? Just tell me, I'll get them for you no matter what, okay?"

Yan Yi ignored Ning Yuan's teasing, looked at the wrapping paper, and reported the name and address of the mooncake factory.

"What flavor do you want to buy?"

"You decide."

"Okay."

The next day, Yan Yi was at work when Ning Yuan came to his office in a nonchalant manner.

"Old Yan, I bought the mooncakes. Where should I put them?"

Yan Yi glanced at him calmly, as if he thought the question was stupid, "Just pick it up and put it down."

Ning Yuan looked around and sighed, "I'm afraid your office won't have enough space."

Yan Yi paused and looked up, "How much did you buy?"

"Five hundred boxes."

Ning Yuan said confidently, "You asked me to take care of it. I am the great Young Master Ning. If I am not generous, outsiders will think that our Ning family is going bankrupt."

Yan Yi took off his glasses speechlessly, stood up and went downstairs with Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan shrugged indifferently.

Back in the office, Yan Yi laid out ten boxes of mooncakes in a row and finally chose the snow skin mooncake, which he had never seen or heard of before.

After opening the mooncake box, there are a total of ten mooncakes inside. The surface of the mooncakes is the color of white jade. The mooncakes are the size of eggs, but thicker than ordinary mooncakes. Various patterns are pressed out with molds.

If you look closely, you will see words on the mooncake skin, which together form a five-character poem about Mid-Autumn Festival.

Take a bite, it has a soft, sweet taste, with a strong fragrance of glutinous rice and mung beans.

…

An hour later.

Ning Yuan came to Yan Yi's office again, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted for water.

Yan Yi poured him a glass of water, his eyes showing some disdain, "Why are you here again?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Ning Yuan drank half a glass of water in one breath, then shook his finger at Yan Yi, "I'm not here again, I just never left, okay?"

After saying that, Ning Yuan put down the cup, pulled Yan Yi to the window, and pointed at the medical staff downstairs.

It was time to get off work. Compared with usual times, the medical staff who got off work today were all holding a box of mooncakes in their hands and had bright smiles on their faces.

"In your name, I sent a box of mooncakes to all the medical staff in your hospital."

After saying that, there was an expression on his face that said, "Am I great? Praise me now."

Seeing Yan Yi glaring at him in silence, Ning Yuan made a money gesture again, "Well, I'm doing this for you, do you have to reimburse me?"

Yan Yi filled out a check and threw it to him in an unpleasant manner.

After seeing the denomination on the check, Ning Yuan happily put it into his pocket. He was a little hungry, so he saw some opened mooncakes on the coffee table and took two of them.

Before eating: "What kind of mooncake is this? It's so white and chewy. I don't have an appetite just looking at it..."

After eating: "Wow! This mooncake tastes good!"

Ning Yuan devoured the mooncakes while asking about the origin of them.

Yan Yi didn't hide it from him.

Upon learning that this mooncake was a product of Shen Mingzhu's collaboration with someone else, Ning Yuan immediately decided to choose it as Ning's Mid-Autumn Festival employee benefit in the future.

The reason for making this decision was, firstly, that the mooncakes tasted good, and secondly, he had an inexplicable admiration for Shen Mingzhu.

A housewife, who shines and works hard in her own field, is neither humble nor arrogant and has her own character.

He likes it, ugh, he appreciates it.

…

West City Port.

Lin Guofu looked at Pei Yang's thin and pale face, his eyes revealing heartache and reluctance.

"Xiao Pei, have you thought it through?"

Pei Yang nodded, "Master, during the more than one month I was recuperating abroad, I thought very clearly. Others only have one life, but I am luckier. I have two lives. One of them has been lost in the Pacific Ocean, and I want to use the remaining one to accompany my family."

Lin Guofu could understand his decision emotionally, but he felt regretful rationally.

"Although this search and rescue operation was fruitless, the head office has decided to commend and reward your entire rescue team. Your position has been restored to second mate. If you continue to work hard, you may be promoted to first mate within two years, and captain before you are thirty."

"A captain who is 30 years old is a rare sight on international shipping routes across the country and even the world. It is an honor and achievement that many sailors can only dream of."

"How about you go back and discuss it with Mingzhu first?"

Second update~ Thank you my dears for your concern. I feel much better today after taking the medicine.

I had body pain and fever, so I took ibuprofen and isatis root, 0.4g of ibuprofen and 15g of isatis root, for your reference. And when you sweat, don't cover yourself, let the heat dissipate, covering yourself can easily cause repeated high fever.

Pei Yang: I, Hu Hansan, am finally back!
