Chapter 864: Chapter 864: [Extra] The Overprotective Old Man
To reward Sheng Ning’an for her first day at work, Mr. Xu showcased his culinary skills, frying, stewing, and cooking up a table full of dishes.
The Huangqi Chicken Soup, in particular, looked like it had been stewed for hours. The aroma was intoxicating the moment the pot was opened.
Mr. Xu chuckled and said, “I specially picked a three-year-old chicken from the market; it’s the best for boosting your energy and blood. You girls should drink more of it.”
“Thank you, Uncle,” Sheng Ning’an was warmly persuaded to drink two bowls of chicken soup.
After dinner, Xu Weiran drove Sheng Ning’an back home.
At the entrance of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Ning’an said to Xu Weiran, “If you’re busy with work, you don’t need to specially come pick me up. I’ll visit you over the weekend when I’m off.” Follow current novels on novel•fire.net
“Alright, if you encounter any problems at work or feel unhappy, remember to tell me.”
“Got it!” Sheng Ning’an unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. After closing the car door, she waved at him and then turned to walk towards the house.
Only after Sheng Ning’an had entered the house did Xu Weiran turn the car around and leave.
In the Sheng Mansion, aside from Sheng Jinyu, who was attending classes at school, and Sheng Yeli, who treated the laboratory as home, everyone else was seated in the living room.
As soon as Sheng Ning’an entered, she was immediately called over by Grandpa.
“An’an, come tell Grandpa how it went on your first day at your dad’s company. Did anyone give you a hard time?”
As soon as Grandpa asked, all eyes in the room focused on Sheng Ning’an.
Sheng Ning’an smiled and walked over, sitting down beside Sheng Yan Cheng and taking Grandpa’s hand. “Of course not. I know you’re concerned about me, Grandpa, but I’m really fine. The colleagues are all quite busy, each with their own tasks, so there’s no time to bully me.”
Grandpa, wise with age, understood the dynamics of the workplace. Although the girl’s words didn’t seem problematic, upon closer thought, he couldn’t help but hum skeptically, “I think they’re not busy; they’re deliberately isolating you, aren’t they?”
Sheng Ning’an didn’t expect her casual words to reveal an issue to Grandpa. Indeed, age brought wisdom.
However, she felt she could handle it and didn’t want Grandpa to worry or stress about her matters.
So she smiled and said, “No, Grandpa, you’re overthinking it.”
Grandpa had watched his granddaughter grow up and understood her personality well.
Feeling exasperated and not knowing what to do, Grandpa said to her, “I told you to go to Grandpa’s company, but you wouldn’t listen. With your dad’s personality, he won’t even protect you.” Then he glared firmly in Sheng Chuyi’s direction, “Let me tell you, I only have this one precious granddaughter. If you let her get bullied at your company, I’ll hold you accountable first.”
“What’s going on?” Sheng Chuyi looked helplessly at the protective old man.
Today, he attended a high-tech industrialization summit and wasn’t at the company, so he wasn’t familiar with the girl’s situation.
“It’s really nothing. I can handle it,” Sheng Ning’an said.
She had no intention of running to her family over minor issues, especially since she hadn’t suffered any real grievance. Should she face serious troubles, she would confide in them, but for now, she hadn’t suffered enough to complain. Besides, if she couldn’t handle such minor matters, she might as well stay home and avoid interning altogether.
Sheng Chuyi looked at her, and seeing she didn’t seem to be under any grievance, he spoke again, “It’s good you can handle it yourself. But if something does happen, remember to tell your family. Don’t let us worry about you.”
