Ning Nainai's face lit up when she saw the auspicious character on WeChat. She slapped her thigh hard.
"She's finally opened up! Hahaha, that's wonderful!"
She could already envision the arrival of her great-grandchild!
As expected of my grandson, his taste is just like mine! My approval means it's the right choice!
...
In front of the Zhan Corporation building.
Wang Ke sat in the car.
The driver, Xiao Zhang, dared not speak. He had parked the car there all morning.
He had heard all sorts of rumors about the company from the group chats.
Although it had only been a few days, ever since Miss Xiaoya's video went viral, the Zhan Corporation had been in turmoil. He was now worried about his salary this month.
"Madam, should we continue waiting for President Zhan?" Xiao Zhang was getting restless. He was tired of sitting and dared not even play on his phone.
From the rearview mirror, he could see that Madam's face was very pale. She hadn't put on any makeup today and looked somewhat dejected.
For the past two to three hours, she hadn't said a word.
However, her cold and eerie expression was quite chilling.
Wang Ke pursed her lips and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
"Yes." Xiao Zhang could only cast his gaze elsewhere and continue to wait.
Would he even get paid this month?
Just then, Wang Ke received a phone call.
"What? Fifty thousand? What do you need fifty thousand for?"
"I can't give it to you. You'll have to think of another way."
"Alright, once I've sorted out my family matters, I'll come find you."
Xiao Zhang pretended not to hear.
He drove Madam every day, and while some things Madam thought she could hide, he was aware of them. However, to keep his job, he hadn't told President Zhan.
Wang Ke thought of something and immediately looked at Xiao Zhang.
Seeing Xiao Zhang with his head bowed, she said sternly, "Remember, in front of President Zhan, don't say anything you shouldn't."
"Yes, Madam." Xiao Zhang immediately agreed.
Of course, he wouldn't say anything. It would affect his job. A driver must be discreet.
However, President Zhan had always been very good to Madam. He had heard of many men who kept mistresses outside, but he never expected Madam to be keeping a young lover.
Whenever President Zhan wasn't home, Madam would go out to meet her young lover during the day and spent a lot of money on him.
If President Zhan were to find out, he would be furious!
Soon, Zhan Zhicheng walked out of the building.
It seemed as if overnight, Zhan Zhicheng's back had stooped. The proud demeanor he once had was gone.
He looked visibly dispirited.
He spotted the car not far away.
His expression darkened, and he walked over.
As soon as he got into the car, Wang Ke eagerly grabbed Zhan Zhicheng's hand and asked, "How did it go?"
Zhan Zhicheng's face turned ashen. "They want me to resign. They said they'll give me my share of the dividends without any deductions, but I'm not allowed to stay in the company. They're pushing all the blame for this company crisis onto me."
"What? Is there no way to salvage it? This company is your life's work! You founded it yourself, and now the board is just taking it away?" Wang Ke couldn't accept reality.
Shares?
What good were those shares?
They were useless!
Who knew when those shares would be snatched away? What was the difference between them and bankruptcy?
Their status in Yancheng would plummet!
Zhan Zhicheng listened to Wang Ke's questions, his anger rising. "Enough, stop talking! Drive, let's go home."
"Husband, we've worked so hard to get where we are today. We absolutely cannot let people make a mockery of us!" Wang Ke was still unwilling to give up.
Zhan Zhicheng's breathing became uneven. He took a deep breath. "Stop talking! I've done everything I possibly could! The rest is up to fate, whatever fate has in store! Also, it's your good parenting. If it weren't for Xiaoya's video, how could things have gotten this bad?"
Wang Ke also got angry. "How can you blame me? If anyone's to blame, it's you! If you hadn't had romantic entanglements when you were young and brought back a good daughter, would she be finding a sugar daddy now to harm you? What does this have to do with Xiaoya? Xiaoya is also implicated by you!"
Zhan Zhicheng took a deep breath, but he couldn't quite catch his breath. He fainted.
Wang Ke was shocked. "Husband? Husband!"
"President Zhan!"
"Quick, quick, quick, drive to the hospital!"
...
At noon, Zhan Xiaojun cooked lunch.
Zhan Xiaojun made five dishes.
They were all her favorites.
Anyway, there were enough ingredients.
The kitchen utensils were all complete.
Taking this opportunity, she decided to make some of her favorite dishes to reward herself. After all, transmigrating was extremely taxing.
And she didn't know when she would be able to go back.
However, she had a feeling that she would return.
Her parents and brothers were all waiting for her.
While she was making lunch, she noticed that Liu Ning and Zhou Ye were both surrounding her, busy helping out.
Seeing that the portions she was making weren't enough, they even offered to help chop more ingredients.
Seeing them constantly praising her cooking skills, even complimenting her every slice of chopped scallion, she decided to make two more dishes.
And each dish was made in generous portions.
As for Ning Yecheng's room, the door was closed. Half an hour ago, Liu Ning had said that Ning Yecheng was attending a voice conference.
Coupled with the IV drip in the morning, after the voice conference, he should be asleep.
So, in the spacious apartment, the three of them were busy in the kitchen.
Zhou Ye sniffed, his eyes shining. "It smells so good!"
"It truly smells amazing! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought these dishes were made by a rare master chef! Miss Zhan is truly incredible!" Liu Ning gave Zhan Xiaojun a thumbs-up, filled with admiration.
Her medical skills were good, her cooking was good, and even her other abilities were impressive.
He didn't know how deep Miss Zhan's secrets ran.
But he knew that Miss Zhan was worthy of his sincere admiration.
Zhan Xiaojun was used to others' admiration and praise, so she simply smiled and said, "It's alright."
Growing up by her side, she had seen too many capable people – her parents, brothers, uncles, aunts, and friends, so many.
Looking at the steaming hot dishes in front of her, her eyes suddenly welled up.
She really missed home!
At the same time.
In another world.
Zhan Xiaojun, who had been unconscious on the bed, moved her finger and her eyes fluttered.
Zhan Xiaofeng, who had been guarding by her bedside, was reading.
He knew his sister was studious, so whenever he had time recently, he would come and read to her.
He just hoped his sister would wake up soon.
When he saw his sister move her finger, he immediately got up to check her pulse.
The pulse was different from before.
He excitedly ran out.
"Grandfather, Father, Mother! Come quickly! Sister just moved, she seems to be waking up!"
Immediately.
From different directions, everyone unhesitatingly dropped what they were doing and rushed over like a gust of wind.
Yun Shu arrived at the bedside, she grabbed her daughter's wrist, her fingertips trembling slightly. Then she closed her eyes to feel the changes in the pulse.
