Chapter 150: Chapter 150 This Man is Really Awkward!
Hearing that the other high-profile ladies hadn’t attended, Han Jiangxue felt even happier.
"Ah Nan," she said to Shen Zhaonan, "Mrs. Cheng didn’t attend the dinner party since she’s always coming to Jiangcheng, right? How about we try to approach her?"
"You mean to approach Mrs. Cheng alone?" Shen Zhaonan’s gaze rested on Han Jiangxue perplexedly. "It wouldn’t be appropriate for me, a grown man, to seek out Mrs. Cheng, would it?"
Han Jiangxue chuckled, "Are you silly? Don’t you have a wife too?
I can go visit Mrs. Cheng. I’ll get to know her first, and when I become friends with her, we can arrange for our husbands to meet. Wouldn’t that give you a second chance to talk business with President Cheng?
Moreover, by then, I’ll take care of building a good relationship with Mrs. Cheng. Whatever she says at that point, would President Cheng not listen?"
In fact, this plan was something Han Jiangxue had contemplated before Shen Zhaonan came home.
She thought, if Shen Zhaonan could successfully close the deal, he’d be in a good mood and might agree to invest in "Mom’s Companion," as he had mentioned before.
If Shen Zhaonan wasn’t successful, then she would go to Mrs. Cheng on his behalf to secure the deal. In that case, Shen Zhaonan would be even more obliged to invest for her.
When she was browsing Weibo earlier, the official account for "Mom’s Companion" had already announced the guest lineup for the second installment. Except for Wu Yuerou and An Ruilin being replaced by An Xi and Gu Xiaoran, there were no changes to the rest of the guests.
This meant Ye Zhenzhen would continue to attend the second filming of the variety show.
Additionally, Tang Ying had told her in the afternoon that the production team for "Ren Pingsheng" was going to sign contracts with the actors on Tuesday next week, and measurements for costumes would be taken.
Once all the cast members had signed on, changing them would be very difficult.
Therefore, Han Jiangxue had to figure out a way to join that production at all costs. Otherwise, Ye Zhenzhen would have one more avenue to gain exposure, and she did not want to be overshadowed by Ye Zhenzhen because of a single audition.
Shen Zhaonan looked at Han Jiangxue in a daze for a while; his mind weighed whether the method she suggested was feasible or not.
More to the point, he didn’t have much confidence in Han Jiangxue.
After all, Mrs. Cheng wasn’t just any wife; she also had another identity as the heiress to the Su family.
Although Han Jiangxue was capable in his eyes, when compared to Mrs. Cheng, she really wasn’t on the same level.
"Xiao Xue, you’d better not get involved in this. It’s a man’s issue, and I’ll find a solution myself," Shen Zhaonan ultimately refused.
As the leader of his company, it was unthinkable to let his wife deal with business matters. That was not the mindset a man should have.
Han Jiangxue’s face darkened. "Ah Nan, are you looking down on me?" she asked.
"It’s not about looking down on you. It’s just that a woman like Mrs. Cheng won’t change her mind about her own company’s business simply because you speak a few words to her.
Xiao Xue, you’re oversimplifying business," he said.
After speaking his piece, Shen Zhaonan leaned back on the couch to rest with his eyes closed.
Having had too much to drink at the dinner party and after the discussion with Cheng Zheng, he just felt his brain buzzing uncomfortably.
Han Jiangxue disagreed with Shen Zhaonan’s words, believing in her heart that Shen Zhaonan was just displaying male chauvinism and truly did not understand women.
Inwardly, she vowed to prove him wrong. The more he talked like this, the more she wanted to show him.
It’s just a wealthy socialite, after all; who isn’t?
Moreover, she had played similar roles before. Aren’t these scenarios in the scripts just like this? When men can’t negotiate well between themselves, they utilize women to step in, and in the end, doesn’t everything fall into place...
...
When Song Jinze brought Cheng Zheng home, Ye Zhenzhen and her child along with Su Xi and her child were busy digging in the garden late into the night.
The garden was brightly lit, with all the night lights turned on.
Song Jinze got out of the car, and Aunt Li came out to greet him, "Sir, you’re back."
Aunt Li nodded slightly upon seeing Cheng Zheng, "Hello."
Cheng Zheng: "Hello."
Song Jinze stood on the staircase, looking at the bright lights in the southeast corner and listening to the children’s laughter and cheers. He couldn’t help but frown, "What’s going on over there?"
Song Jinze was asking Aunt Li.
Standing to the side, Cheng Zheng proudly declared, "That’s a gift from my son to yours."
An excavator and a bulldozer.
Song Jinze’s expression darkened; his thin lips pressed tightly together as he turned and entered the villa.
Cheng Zheng slightly pursed his lips, unconcerned with Song Jinze, and walked straight toward his wife and child.
Seeing this, Aunt Li didn’t linger outside either and followed inside the house.
Soon, Song Jinze came down from the second floor, now holding a woman’s coat in his hand.
Cheng Zheng walked over to Su Xi’s side and, wrapping an arm around his wife, asked, "Are you cold?"
Su Xi smiled, "I’m fine."
All her attention was on the two children; even if it was cold, she wouldn’t notice it.
Cheng Zheng, seeing his wife’s nose slightly red from the cold, took off his coat and draped it over Su Xi, "Your nose has turned red, and you say you’re not cold."
Ye Zhenzhen was sitting opposite Su Xi, her attention entirely on Xiao Chen. She hadn’t yet noticed Cheng Zheng arriving.
"Xiao Chen, you can dig a shovel here; it’s still not deep enough," she directed.
Cheng Jiaming: "Right, Song Yuchen, hurry up and dig a shovelful. I’ll push the dirt for you."
Song Yuchen: "Where should I dig?"
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and stretched out her hand to point to the spot she just mentioned, "Here, dig here."
As she spoke, she suddenly felt warmth on her back and a coat being placed on her shoulders. She looked up to meet the man’s narrow, deep eyes. Caught off guard by his unexpected move, she still managed to smile and say, "Thank you."
Song Jinze’s voice was deep, "Aunt Li asked me to bring this over for you."
"Oh~ then I’ll thank Aunt Li later."
A trace of displeasure flickered across the man’s handsome face, "I brought it over to you, and I’m the one who draped it on you."
Ye Zhenzhen frowned, looking up seriously at the man again, "Tha-thank you!"
"You’re welcome."
Ye Zhenzhen: This man is really so awkward!
Song Yuchen turned his head and noticed the tall figure standing beside Ye Zhenzhen, and immediately stopped moving, "Daddy..."
His daddy was back...
Song Jinze called out sternly, "Song Yuchen, come down right now!"
Song Yuchen didn’t dare to delay even a moment and quickly climbed down from the excavator. Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen hurried over to hold his little hand.
Cheng Jiaming also noticed his dad had arrived, and he called out happily, "Dad!"
Cheng Zheng stepped forward and lifted Cheng Jiaming down from the bulldozer, "You little troublemaker!"
Cheng Jiaming’s little brows furrowed as he turned to Su Xi to complain, "Mom, look, your husband is calling me a troublemaker again."
Su Xi glanced subtly at Cheng Zheng, then patted Cheng Jiaming’s head, "Dad calls you that because he loves you, you know."
"That’s not true, he’s doing it on purpose."
