After the wedding banquet ended, back at the old house, Xinyan casually chatted with everyone and mentioned the food factory’s products. She noted the need to adapt to the market with product diversification, which caught Uncle Han Jingheng’s attention.
He directly called Xinyan into the study: "Yanyan, what you said outside just now, can you explain it in detail to Uncle, what do you mean?"
Seeing her uncle was interested, Xinyan shared her thoughts. Of course, she didn’t dump all the future ideas at once, but she instilled the concept of diversification to her uncle.
She also casually mentioned two products, suggesting they try to develop them. After all, there isn’t just one food factory in Beijing. Although there’s currently no competitive pressure, there’s always some form of rivalry.
With Xinyan’s words, Han Jingheng felt enlightened and extremely excited, repeatedly saying that Xinyan was a fortune-bringer.
When they came out of the study, Sun Zhenling jogged over: "Uncle, what were you conspiring about with cousin in the study?"
Sun Baowei immediately slapped his daughter’s head: "Is that how you talk?"
Sun Zhenling held the back of her head where she was hit: "Dad, I’m not smart to begin with, aren’t you afraid of hitting me into being dumb?"
Sun Baowei raised his hand and poked his daughter’s forehead: "You speak with no regard for small or large matters, it seems you’re spoiled."
Sun Zhenling pouted: "Dad, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"
At this point, Han Chunxue walked over: "Alright, I think your dad isn’t wrong. Look at the words you used, what’s with ’conspiring’? Luckily we’re all family here. If outsiders heard, it would spark unnecessary thoughts."
Sun Zhenling realized her mistake: "I’m sorry, I’ll be more careful in the future."
Then Han Jingheng smiled and patted Sun Zhenling’s head where she was hit: "So, did you learn your lesson?"
Sun Zhenling acted coy: "Uncle, I didn’t mean it, I was just trying to joke around."
Xinyan didn’t specifically defend her cousin; her personality had become increasingly outgoing, and a little reprimand might be beneficial. Although things weren’t as tense as before, it’s still best to be cautious and discreet.
Just then, Su Aihong came in to call everyone: "Everyone, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Yes, tonight, several families gathered at the old house to have a reunion dinner.
This side of the family was harmonious and pleasant, while the Ji Family on the other side wasn’t having such a good time.
Han Jingchen moved quickly, warning Ji Linfeng directly and harshly, stating that if the Ji Family tried to meddle again, they’d lose his job.
Ji Linfeng knew that Han Jingchen was serious, so after returning today, he spoke sternly to Ji Xiaowen: "Xiaowen, you know the current situation at home. I hope you’ll consider the family, think of your brother."
Ji Xiaowen looked pale: "If there was any way out, would I think of ways to approach them? My medication will run out in a few days. What are you planning next?"
This statement stumped Ji Linfeng, as he realized he hadn’t been a responsible parent. Instead of letting his child rest properly, they were burdened with such worries: "I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I’ll think of other ways."
Ji Xiaowen closed her eyes, then opened them, saying: "Dad, I’m sorry, I’ve burdened the family."
Ji Linfeng sighed: "Just rest well, don’t overthink it. I’ll find a way with the money."
Ji Linfeng truly considered finding a spouse for Xiaowen, perhaps moved by his daughter’s efforts, which further made him blame himself for being so stubborn: "Xiaowen, don’t be afraid. Dad will definitely come up with a solution. We’ll face this together. From now on, don’t go to the Han Family, it’s useless."
