A Dinner Gathering
A Dinner Gathering
Saturday.
Originally, Mu Chen and Song Ning planned to hold their dinner gathering in Zhuang Ji. The employees
had not returned to work yet so they had the entire place to themselves. However, when Jiang Jin
found out about it, she wanted to join them as well.
"Either Yu and I go to Zhuang Ji as well or you can ask everyone over to the house instead." Jiang Jin
did not want to miss out on the fun of spending time with her grandson and her granddaughter-in-law.
Mu Chen felt a little embarrassed. He was worried Jiahui and An Ran would feel uncomfortable. He
looked at Song Ning for help.
Song Ning smiled and held Jiang Jin's arm. "Grandma, you just want to have a look at Zhuang Ji,
right?" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Jiang Jin's smile widened. "My granddaughter-in-law understands me the most. It seems like I've
raised my grandson in vain!"
Mu Chen smiled. He had gotten used to his grandmother's ways. As long as Song Ning and his
grandmother were happy, nothing mattered to him.
Song Ning thought about it for a moment before she said, "Why don't we go to Zhuang Ji in the
morning? Grandma, you can give us some advice as well. When we get home, I'll start cooking, and
you can rest for a while. Let's ask the others to come over. Jiahui is an especially cheerful girl,
Grandma, you'll definitely like her."
"Alright, alright." Jiang Jin hurriedly nodded before she said, "In fact, I only wanted to have a look at
your studio, but I was afraid you won't allow me to go out."
Song Ning reached out and hugged Jiang Jin. "Once you've recovered, I won't keep you at home.
However, we have to prioritize your health now."
Jiang Jin nodded. "I'll listen to you, Song Ning. My granddaughter-in-law is a doctor, after all. I'm really
blessed."
Yu chimed in, "That's right. Even I feel blessed. Young Lady has cured the pain in my foot. When
you've recovered, let's travel the world!"
Song Ning and Mu Chen exchanged a look and smiled.
At this moment, Song Ning suddenly thought of something. She asked, "Why are your relatives so
quiet?"
Those people did not look easy to deal with. They had visited previously with such great fanfare, but
there was nothing following that.
Mu Chen smiled faintly as he said, "Recently, the Mu Group has launched an internal investigation. All
the subsidiary companies are busy with their accounts. The reason for this sudden investigation has
been leaked by Cheng Che to my uncles, and so, they've warned their women to stay away."
Song Ning was slightly surprised by Mu Chen's words. When she regained her senses, she said with a
smile, "We'll have to make sure Cheng Che eats more when we see him..."
Mu Chen reached out and pinched her earlobes gently before he said, "Hey, it seems like you didn't get
the point. It's all thanks to me, not Cheng Che, that those people are staying away."
"Alright, alright, it's all thanks to you." Song Ning smiled and avoided his hand.
The relationship between the duo had gotten better and better, and Mu Chen's affectionate gestures
had also increased in frequency.
Upon seeing the duo's interactions, Jiang Jin and Yu were, naturally, delighted.
...
Cheng Che brought Jiahui and An Ran Cheng Che to Cloudy Peak Villa.
The two young women did not pay attention to the luxurious Mu family home. Instead, they were more
interested in talking to Jiang Jin due to her sense of humor.
In the past, Mu Chen was like a block of ice and would only speak concisely when it was absolutely
necessary. She had grown bored of relying on Cheng Che to lighten the atmosphere. She was very
happy with the presence of the two young women.
Just as Song Ning had said, Jiahui and Jiang Jin got along swimmingly. They were like old friends
meeting after a long time. They had all kinds of topics that ranged from ancient times to modern times
to talk about.
In the end, Jiahui even volunteered to take over the acupuncture treatment and physical treatment for
Jiang Jin.
On the other hand, An Ran was much calmer in comparison to Jiahui. However, it did not mean she
was boring. She stayed in the kitchen to help Song Ning cook.
Meanwhile, Mu Chen and Cheng Che were discussing work.
While they were cooking, An Ran asked, "Ningning, Cheng Che showed me the list of employees. We
both agreed that when work starts, we'll probably have to let go of some employees."
Slightly alarmed, Song Ning asked, "Why? Is something wrong?"
An Ran hurriedly reassured Song Ning. "No, no, don't worry. It's just that there are many confidential
things. We have several technologies that have been patented so only employees whom we can trust
are allowed to work with them..."
Song Ning understood An Ran's meaning. After thinking about it, she said, "Some of the employees
are my mother's old employees, and some of them were introduced by those employees. I didn't really
manage the employees before this and relied on them to help me. If you discover any problem, we'll do
as you said. I won't ask so much."
An Ran smiled. "Even if you don't ask, I'll still report to you. We'll test the employees first before letting
go of the problematic ones. After that, we'll work from there and adjust according to our needs."
Song Ning said in admiration, "Sister An Ran, you're amazing! Not only do you know how to embroider,
but you even know how to manage a business!"
An Ran said with a faint smile on her face, "Well, I like embroidering more..."
