Chapter 328: Chapter 322 This Child is Very Filial

First floor, the grand kitchen.

The nourishing soup was still simmering slowly, and the lamb shanks had just been placed into the oven when the servants saw Wang Jinhui approaching briskly, stirring curiosity in their hearts.

Was another competition about to start?

Yesterday, Lady Tang was truly impressive, guessing everything correctly, so the money in the red envelopes must have been substantial!

Strange, why hadn’t the master come?

Lucky my dishes hadn’t started cooking yet.

Immediately, the servants stepped aside, yielding the stove and workbench to Wang Jinhui.

Here, all sorts of vegetables, meats, and seasonings were available. Wang Jinhui looked around and quickly pinpointed the ingredients he needed.

He skillfully cut the chicken and beef into moderately sized pieces, followed by ginger, scallions, and other condiments. Then, he took out two good-quality pork bellies from the refrigerator, preparing them for later use.

Using rock sugar to make braised pork, ensuring a bright red color.

Furthermore, Wang Jinhui also prepared several seafood dishes characteristic of Chicheng, including steamed sea fish, garlic oysters, and vermicelli steamed shrimp.

He understood Tang Mei’s taste preferences too well.

Although she had lived in Qingcheng for nearly twenty years, she hadn’t developed a habit of eating spicy food.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, fourth floor study.

After Zhao Renjie knocked and entered, he saw Tang Xiaowan playing on her phone on the sofa, which caused his eyebrows to furrow as he pondered what to say next.

This was completely unexpected.

Just now, hadn’t she called me asking for six people to help turn over the vegetable garden?

Had she come to the study so soon?

As Zhao Renjie recalled Tang Xiaowan’s words and walked inside, he eventually stopped about a meter away from the mahogany desk.

"Master, um..."

"Something?"

"Yes, just now Huang City called, saying... their person in charge suddenly left with an assistant, apparently heading to Jin City, so do you think... we need to adjust the acquisition plan?"

As he spoke, the notebook was slowly closed.

Then he saw Leng Lingxiao’s face visibly darken at a discernible speed, the murderous aura in his eyes almost chilling one’s spine.

"The plan remains unchanged, follow up as necessary, if we’re too busy... pull people from here."

Zhao Renjie nodded, then turned to leave.

It seemed the master had understood.

This Wang Junchen, who knew what he was up to, just returned to Huang City and then suddenly left for Jin City, and he’s also brought someone from Jiangbei.

Is he planning to strike at the Leng Family again?

Ah, I hope it doesn’t affect Lady Tang; otherwise, the master will have to worry again.

"Oh, right, um... Old Liu."

Hearing this, Zhao Renjie immediately turned around and looked at Leng Lingxiao: "Manager Liu of Hai Sheng?"

"I remember... he’s not a local, has always been renting. Aren’t there empty houses in Chi Hai District? Arrange a set for him. Also, pair it with a car. After all... he’s a manager now, can’t be too shabby."

"Master, this..."

"It’s for the work, go on."

Master really has strong jealousy, as though one could smell it across the Sea of Wishes.

With so many male employees at Hai Sheng, if Lady Tang casually praises someone, won’t they all need special treatment, a house for each?

No no no, that’s not right, I’m overthinking it, the master must be doing this to consolidate loyalty.

With thoughtful steps, Zhao Renjie left the study.

Throughout the whole ordeal, Tang Xiaowan hadn’t said a word, seeming to be chatting with someone, her facial expressions changing between surprise and delight.

Leng Lingxiao glanced up at her.

Tangtang, go to work with peace of mind, I will definitely investigate everything clearly.

But before then, forgive me.

Keeping it from you... it’s all for your own good.

Then, Leng Lingxiao redirected his gaze and opened the documents on the desk, continuing with his work.

...

One hour later, at Hai Sheng.

In the manager’s office, Liu Yang sat firmly in the boss’s chair, mumbling to himself as he admired a car key in his hand.

"Fantastic, it feels great!"

"This was personally delivered by Old Zhao...Moreover, he said it was the chairman’s idea, does this mean it could prove..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped.

Although he had secured the position of manager, he knew he still had to be humble.

"It shows that the chairman highly values you!" Tian Jiaojiao quickly interjected with a smile, handing him a freshly brewed cup of health tea.

Liu Yang nodded, "I will definitely not let the chairman down, and will develop Hai Sheng into..."

"the most influential company in the group."

As Liu Yang was about to compliment Tian Jiaojiao, his phone suddenly rang.

He pulled it out and saw it was his wife.

Seeing this, Tian Jiaojiao tactfully left and gently closed the door of the office.

Then, Liu Yang answered the call, and his wife’s gentle and excited voice came through, "Honey, you got a house right after becoming a manager? Is it really a three-bedroom with two living rooms? And we don’t have to pay anything?"

She wanted to confirm the surprise herself.

Ten minutes ago, she had received a message from her husband, Liu Yang, saying that the chairman had rewarded him with a three-bedroom apartment located in the Chi Hai District, very close to his workplace, a mere ten-minute drive, and they could move in today.

"It’s true, mainly for the convenience of work, I have the keys already, hahaha."

His joy was evident in his voice.

"That’s great; we can finally settle down in Chicheng. I can apply for a transfer, and when we have children... they will be able to receive a better education there, my gosh, it feels like a dream."

His wife was full of anticipation for the future.

Hearing all this, Liu Yang couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt, "Wife, you have suffered following me all these years, but things will get better from now on."

"Look at you, what are you talking about? We’re husband and wife, it’s what we should do."

"Wife, come over soon."

"Mm, okay, I’ll apply this afternoon."

The couple was very excited; they talked for quite a while before hanging up the phone with smiles.

It was half-past twelve, but Liu Yang didn’t leave; he sat in the boss’s chair gazing out the window, filled with a myriad of emotions.

Over the years, he had climbed from being a clerk to a manager—it was not easy at all!

...

Meanwhile, at Lingxiao Manor.

A table filled with rich and exquisite Southern cuisine made Tang Xiaowan’s appetite swell. Leng Lingxiao picked a dish, and she ate it, even the greens turned into delicacies.

Her face was brimming with happiness.

She had always longed for such a scene, to eat with her grandparents by her side, just like other children’s families.

Ah, only her parents were missing.

Thinking this, Tang Xiaowan sneakily glanced at Leng Lingxiao’s parents.

Well, it’s as if they were here.

"Grandpa, your cooking is just like grandma’s, identical and so delicious. Can you make them often for Tangtang?"

"Of course, anytime."

"Wow, that’s great, hahaha."

Tang Mei glanced at Tang Xiaowan and said nothing, continuing to eat the dish Wang Jinhui had served her.

That’s like a silent approval, right?

Wang Jinhui quietly asked himself, feeling terrific.

"Try this, it’s quite fresh."

"Mm, not bad cooking skills," Tang Mei sparingly replied.

"As long as you don’t mind, hahaha."

Across the table, Leng Jiangping and his wife smiled joyously throughout, silently praising Tang Xiaowan.

Yang Aihua: What a filial child.

Leng Jiangping: Mm, it doesn’t fall far from my son, outstanding, even his choice in a wife follows me, intelligent and affectionate, now if they just get the certificate... it would be perfect.

The two exchanged glances and simultaneously suggested, "Why not take advantage of the free afternoon and get the license?"

As they spoke, a cough ensued.
