Chapter 1674: Zihan is a Natural-Born Manager 2

Zihan felt very aggrieved: "Dad, I wasn't being flighty; I was answering your question very seriously. He really didn't make any demands..."

Halfway through his sentence, he remembered and hurriedly explained: "Oh, it seems he did want to make conditions, but I said a few things, and then he didn't."

"What did you say?"

Zihan: "I told him to show some sincerity. The two sides aren't on equal footing; if the weaker side doesn't show sincerity, why should the other side let them off..."

He stayed in his father's office for a whole afternoon.

When he walked out of his father's office, he was skipping along. After a few steps, he remembered his father's instruction to be more steady in the future, so he stopped skipping and happily left the company.

Sheng Family.

After Sheng Hanyu got off work, Shi Youxuan took his coat and briefcase and asked: "What happy thing happened today?"

"A very happy thing. Let's open a bottle of red wine to celebrate!" He even kept her in suspense: "I'll tell you in a little while."

"No, tell me now, otherwise I won't let you drink."

Shi Youxuan was middle-aged, but in front of her husband, she was still like a little girl, very willful.

So, her husband told her what happened with Zihan at the company today.

After finishing, he sighed: "Not one of my Sheng Family sons is inferior."

Shi Youxuan was not modest at all: "Zihan is like me in this regard." After saying this, she went to the wine cellar to get wine.

Yun Family.

Yun Qitian carefully supported his wife as they walked on the lawn in front of the house.

The lawn was mowed very flat; there wasn't even a tiny pebble. Even if one walked on it with their eyes closed, they wouldn't fall, and of course, it wouldn't hurt if they did fall.

Shi Ran looked at her husband helplessly and reiterated once again: "I'm fine, you don't need to be so careful. I'm not made of paper, breaking at the first gust of wind..."

"Shh!"

Yun Qitian was very nervous, holding a finger to his lips to admonish her: "Don't talk nonsense, it's unlucky."

Shi Ran:...

She was speechless.

Her husband was becoming more and more of a fussbudget; his caution had already reached an unreasonable level.

"Oh, I won't talk nonsense, but there is one thing I must say..."

She suddenly looked troubled and pleaded: "Husband, I want to eat fried chicken!"

After Shi Ran became pregnant, her mother-in-law viewed all fried foods as inedible.

Ma Ling'er changed the variety of delicious food she made for her daughter-in-law every day, and she couldn't be picky; after all, her mother-in-law's intentions were good.

Her mother-in-law used to be a doctor, so her cooking focused primarily on nutrition and health, with taste being secondary. Therefore, the dining table was mostly steamed or boiled, focusing on light flavors.

Light flavors were healthy, but they just weren't very tasty.

She had been wanting to eat fried chicken for several days, but it would absolutely never appear on the dining table at home, so she asked her husband to take her out to eat it.

"Fried chicken..." Yun Qitian also couldn't help but drool.

He wanted to eat it too.

But he still hesitated: "Mom said fried food isn't healthy for pregnant women..."

Shi Ran corrected him: "No, Mom said that fried food isn't healthy!"

Yun Qitian: "Yes, everyone knows it's not healthy, but it's fine to eat a meal or two, right?"

Shi Ran nodded frantically: "Right, right, eating a little bit is fine. Husband, let's go out to eat fried chicken. Think of an excuse."

Yun Qitian: "How about we say we're taking He Yu to her maternal grandmother's house?"

"Fine, it's settled."

Returning to her maiden home was the furthest distance Ma Ling'er allowed Shi Ran to travel!

Except for returning to her maiden home, she wasn't allowed to go anywhere else, the reason being that it wasn't safe.

The couple agreed and went back to discuss it with Ma Ling'er, saying they wanted to go back to her maiden home for a visit.

Ma Ling'er didn't object and agreed, but told them to go early and return early, and to be back before dark.

The two agreed readily and went back to her maiden home.

When Shi Youxuan saw her eldest daughter's family return, she smiled and said: "You came back at just the right time. Your father has something happy to share with you."

Shi Ran: "Then we have to add a dish; let Fang Jie fry some chicken legs."

She glared at her daughter dotingly: "You're craving fried chicken legs, aren't you?"

She knew what kind of temper Ma Ling'er had.

When she was good to someone, she would give her whole heart; her care for Shi Ran was meticulous, even better than a biological mother's, but everything had two sides!

Meticulous care often led to interfering with the other person's various preferences.

Whatever she thought was good, she would push onto you all at once.

Whatever she thought was bad, she would strictly restrict.

At first, Shi Ran had complaints, but Shi Youxuan told her daughter that she couldn't just enjoy the convenience without bearing the trouble that came with it; that wasn't fair!

If she didn't want to be restricted by her mother-in-law's rules, she should go back to live in her own home; it wasn't as if they didn't have the means.

If she was afraid that the child wouldn't be well-cared for by a nanny after moving back, but didn't want her mother-in-law to manage everything while living together, how could she have all the benefits to herself? There was no such good thing.

Although she lectured her daughter, how could a mother not feel heartache when her daughter was unhappy?

So she told her daughter that if there was food she wanted to eat that her mother-in-law restricted, as long as it wasn't too excessive, she should come back to her maiden home to eat it.

Ma Ling'er was a doctor and was prone to overcorrecting.

When Shi Ran mentioned fried chicken legs, Shi Youxuan immediately realized that her daughter was craving them.

On the dining table, there were not only fried chicken legs, but also braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, and crispy pork... all things her daughter and son-in-law liked to eat.

The two of them ate ravenously, as if they hadn't eaten for three days.

It smells so good.

These dishes are all favorites of the two of them, but they are rarely served at the Yun Family dining table.

The two of them are eating inelegantly, and even Yueyue cannot bear to watch anymore.

Yueyue says, "Big Sister, Big Brother-in-law, can you come back to eat every day from now on? It's very pitiful not to have meat to eat."

She assumes that they cannot afford meat at their own home.

Yun Qitian feels a bit embarrassed, and he says to Yueyue, "Thank you, Yueyue, we have meat to eat at home too, it's just that the meat at our house isn't as delicious as this."

"Mm."

Yueyue nods: "Our food is the most delicious, the auntie at kindergarten says I've gotten fat."

As she speaks, she pinches her own chubby cheeks, looking distressed.

The little girl hasn't even grown up yet, but she already knows how to love beauty and look pretty, and she knows that being fat is not good-looking.

Actually, a little girl of her age looks best when she is chubby; once she grows taller and her figure develops later, she will naturally slim down.

After the meal, Sheng Hanyu calls his son-in-law to the Study to discuss serious matters, while the mother and daughter have a private conversation in the living room.

Shi Ran's belly is so high that she can no longer see her feet; theoretically, a six-month belly shouldn't be this large, and the reason her belly is this big is because she is carrying twins.

This time it's boys, twins, and her mother-in-law Ma Ling'er is grinning from ear to ear; the Yun Family has successors now, and two at once.

Shi Youxuan says to her daughter, "Starting next month, you need to eat smaller, more frequent meals. Although your mother-in-law is a bit strict, most of the time, what she says is right; not letting you eat fried food is the most correct thing."

Shi Ran: "I know she has my best interests at heart. Actually, my mother-in-law is really quite good, it's just..." She looks back at Shi Yuan and sighs: "Mom, you were right after all!"
