After the wedding banquet ended, back at the old house, Xinyan casually chatted with everyone and mentioned the food factoryâs products. She noted the need to adapt to the market with product diversification, which caught Uncle Han Jinghengâs 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 didnât 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 isnât just one food factory in Beijing. Although thereâs currently no competitive pressure, thereâs always some form of rivalry.
With Xinyanâs 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 daughterâs head: "Is that how you talk?"
Sun Zhenling held the back of her head where she was hit: "Dad, Iâm not smart to begin with, arenât you afraid of hitting me into being dumb?"
Sun Baowei raised his hand and poked his daughterâs forehead: "You speak with no regard for small or large matters, it seems youâre 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 isnât wrong. Look at the words you used, whatâs with âconspiringâ? Luckily weâre all family here. If outsiders heard, it would spark unnecessary thoughts."
Sun Zhenling realized her mistake: "Iâm sorry, Iâll be more careful in the future."
Then Han Jingheng smiled and patted Sun Zhenlingâs head where she was hit: "So, did you learn your lesson?"
Sun Zhenling acted coy: "Uncle, I didnât mean it, I was just trying to joke around."
Xinyan didnât specifically defend her cousin; her personality had become increasingly outgoing, and a little reprimand might be beneficial. Although things werenât as tense as before, itâs 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 wasnât 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, theyâd 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 youâll 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 hadnât been a responsible parent. Instead of letting his child rest properly, they were burdened with such worries: "Iâm sorry, itâs my fault. Iâll think of other ways."
Ji Xiaowen closed her eyes, then opened them, saying: "Dad, Iâm sorry, Iâve burdened the family."
Ji Linfeng sighed: "Just rest well, donât overthink it. Iâll find a way with the money."
Ji Linfeng truly considered finding a spouse for Xiaowen, perhaps moved by his daughterâs efforts, which further made him blame himself for being so stubborn: "Xiaowen, donât be afraid. Dad will definitely come up with a solution. Weâll face this together. From now on, donât go to the Han Family, itâs useless."
