He Jinxuan solemnly replied, "Yanyan is my everything."
From that moment, Han Jingchen formally acknowledged He Jinxuan’s status: "I look forward to it."
When Xinyan came out, she saw both faces looking very serious: "Dad, Jinxuan, what are you talking about?"
Han Jingchen looked at his daughter: "After dinner, Dad will take you both over."
A smile appeared on He Jinxuan’s lips; he heard his future father-in-law just say ’them’.
Xinyan looked at the two with confusion: "We’re going together?"
Han Jingchen cleared his throat: "Quickly go and get ready."
After saying that, he walked out of the main door with his hands behind his back.
He Jinxuan didn’t explain, just pushed Xinyan towards the bathroom: "Go get ready quickly, after we eat, we’ll set off early."
This is a great opportunity to assert his position; since his future father-in-law gave the opportunity, he naturally had to seize it well.
When Xinyan finished getting ready and came out, Sister Chen had already set up breakfast.
Today, Han Jingchen had adjusted his mood, looking at Xinyan he said: "The person we’re visiting today has a different temperament from others, if he says anything unpleasant, don’t take it to heart."
After changing the visiting time twice, he was afraid that old man would deliberately give Yanyan a hard time, so he gave her an early warning.
When they were about to leave, Xinyan specially brought a pack of tea produced by space as a meeting gift, of course, if the person was willing to accept her, she would naturally prepare a formal apprenticeship gift as well.
With He Jinxuan around, he was to drive, and today Su Jingsong happened to be assigned another task by Han Jingchen, so he couldn’t drive them.
Now, Su Jingsong had completed his transfer and would soon join Han Jingchen working at the Beijing Railway Bureau, so he would gradually get busy during these days.
Just as the three entered the courtyard, they heard a voice full of energy: "Ah, you finally have time to come over today?"
Han Jingchen knew he was at fault: "I brought some good tea for you today, you will like it."
Du Wenbin walked out from inside: "Do you think I’m that superficial? Bringing some good tea won’t bribe me."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Xinyan behind Han Jingchen: "Girl, it’s you."
Xinyan hadn’t expected the renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner her dad mentioned turned out to be Mr. Du: "Mr. Du, hello."
Du Wenbin no longer cared to speak sarcastically: "Ah, it seems we really have fate."
Du Wenbin had seen He Jinxuan that day and nodded to him as a greeting: "Please, have a seat."
Han Jingchen looked at the group: "Do you know each other?"
Xinyan smiled: "Yes, I happened to meet Mr. Du on the train, and after arriving in Beijing, I saw him again at the military hospital."
Seeing Mr. Du’s expression, Han Jingchen knew that his daughter’s apprentice matter was settled.
So he didn’t interrupt their conversation, got up himself, and looked at the various flowers and plants in the courtyard, thinking of what wasn’t in his own courtyard so he could take some when leaving.
Xinyan and Mr. Du chatted for a long time, without needing Han Jingchen to say anything more, Mr. Du decided directly: "Alright, I’ll take you as my last apprentice."
Just at that moment, Han Jingchen came over: "Then it’s settled, Mr. Du, you set the date, and we’ll prepare the formal apprenticeship gift and come."
Du Wenbin waved his hand: "Forget about the apprenticeship gift, it’s not the ancient times anymore, just a cup of tea is enough."
But Xinyan responded: "Master, the formalities cannot be skipped, an apprenticeship gift must be prepared, especially since you mentioned that I am your last apprentice, it must be done according to tradition."
Seeing Xinyan was so earnest, Du Wenbin smiled and patted the armrest of his chair: "You’re very considerate."
Thinking that Xinyan was going to register at school, he checked the old calendar: "The day after tomorrow is a good day, my place isn’t far from your school, why not come over at noon the day after tomorrow, and I’ll introduce you to a few of your senior brothers in Beijing, it’s a good chance to get to know each other."
So the matter was settled this way. Originally, Du Wenbin wanted to keep them for lunch, but Han Jingchen thought about preparing the apprenticeship gift, so he politely declined.
However, when they were leaving, he unceremoniously asked for two pots of flowers before they left.
Du Wenbin was not only not angry, he happily escorted them out.
