Yan Yueqing explained, "Xiao Nian’s condition is similar to the baby’s previous state... similar but not entirely the sa. For the next month or so, both of the brothers will be staying at my place. Just treat them normally, Grandpa. When you talk to Xiao Nian... he might not respond."
Old Master Yan understood: "The child... is ill?"
"Yes," Yan Yueqing sighed.
Old Master Yan realized.
Putting himself in their shoes, he worried more than anyone when Yan Wang was ill!
Not to ntion a child as young as Mu Nian...
Ah, if their ship has to crash and burn, so be it...
At least his granddaughter has a kind heart; there’s no faulting that.
He said, feeling a bit down, "All right, I understand."
After saying that, he glanced at Jun Lii with a sowhat regretful look, leaving the latter confused.
Yan Yueqing also looked toward Jun Lii: "You take the kids up to rest first. I’ll make a phone call."
Jun Lii nodded, "Okay."
After finishing speaking, he extended his hand to the children, and the two little ones obediently followed him: "Great-grandfather, see you at dinner."
Old Master Yan nodded, constantly sighing in his heart—
Ah, even though Yueqing’s heart belongs to another, the kids surely love their real dad more! Well, let it be; why bother with their matters? It’s for the young people to make their own choices.
Feeling like his ship had already sunk, Old Master Yan regained so of his spirits and happily replied to his great-grandchildren, "See you tonight."
When everyone had cleared out, Yan Yueqing looked at him curiously: "Grandpa, why are you acting so odd today?"
"Do I?" The old master wouldn’t admit it.
"Emmmm... If you say no, then no~" Yan Yueqing didn’t want to expose him.
Little did she know, in just those two minutes of eting, the old man had already played out an entire 70-episode lodrama of chasing after his wife in his mind.
"Grandpa, I might be frequently visiting the base and Zhongxing dia recently, and not stay much at ho."
What else could Old Master Yan say? He dismissively waved his hand with magnanimity, "Go ahead, there are people here to keep company; this old man won’t be lonely."
"That’s good~"
Yan Yueqing returned to her own room on the third floor and dialed Director Tang’s number.
"Yueqing." Director Tang was surprised to receive her call at this ti. "Is there sothing the matter?"
"I just got back from Yun City." Yan Yueqing got straight to the point, "Song Qinglong has been caught. The authorities ntioned to that the good news will be announced by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Really?" Director Tang’s voice perked up imdiately, "That’s great! He’s finally been caught! Then, on Zhongxing’s end..."
"Just handle the arrangents as you see fit, prepare the press release in advance, and release it after the official announcent. Don’t release it beforehand."
"I understand, I understand!" Director Tang was overjoyed, "Our narcotics officers are efficient! It took them just over a month to crack the case! You have no idea, Yueqing, Zhongxing is under trendous pressure right now..."
The drug testing had caused a massive uproar, and after the sampling was done, it all went quiet...
Netizens went from eager anticipation to feeling betrayed as they waited for an official statent, gathering together and clamoring for an explanation under Zhongxing’s social dia posts.
Even though Zhongxing launched live streaming courses for the Gentleman’s Six Arts and gathered dozens of remaining artists together for training and learning, which distracted many netizens,
But!
The problem hadn’t been solved!
Many other entertainnt companies that enjoyed watching the drama occasionally sent people to join the live stream to add fuel to the fire.
No matter how good the learning environnt was, as soon as soone brought up the topic of drug testing, it would imdiately turn into an endless stream of cursing.
Even when so rational people tried to calm everyone down, explaining that Zhongxing might be cooperating with the authorities in a low-profile manner, did the netizens listen to any of that?
As soon as soone stirred the pot, they caused more of a ruckus than anyone else.
It wasn’t just the netizens making a fuss; the company’s employees were also full of gossip about the matter.
And then there were the shareholders who were putting on pressure every day...
Director Tang had recently gone sowhat gray from bearing the pressure.
In order to cooperate with the official work, he was forced so hard that he didn’t say a word in protest!
But now, at last!
The clouds had parted to reveal the clear moon!
Director Tang exhaled deeply, his laughter sounding much more carefree, "Hahaha! I’ll write this press release myself! Without anyone else laying a finger on it! These past few days, I’ve been camping on the official Weibo. The mont they post anything, I’ll follow up imdiately and catch everyone off guard!"
Yan Yueqing knew Director Tang had suffered injustices recently, "Alright, I’ll leave it to you."
"Don’t worry, don’t worry! I’ll make sure they won’t dare let out even a fart!"
Director Tang’s talent for sharp-tongued retorts was well recognized in the industry; generally, nobody wanted to provoke such a tough character.
If Zhongxing hadn’t really been in the wrong recently, who would have dared to ss with Director Tang’s beard?
But now it was all good!
Director Tang felt relieved, finally able to vent the resentnt he’d been building for over a month!
After basking in the relief, he rembered sothing and his tone suddenly softened, "By the way, Yueqing, are you free recently?"
"What’s up? I just got back, and apart from dealing with Zhongxing’s issues, I don’t have any other plans for now."
"That’s great!" Director Tang rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Well... you see... Tang Tang kind of misses you. She’s been squabbling with , saying she wants to co visit you! I’m worried that she’ll get in the way of your other matters."
"How could that be?" Yan Yueqing said with a laugh, "I haven’t seen the little girl for a while. How about this, I’ll co to Zhongxing tomorrow to pick her up and have her stay over for a few days? It just so happens that we have a new little guest at ho. You know, neither of my sons is the type to liven things up, so having Tang Tang around would be just the addition we need for a playmate!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Director Tang’s decisive attitude was like getting rid of a hot potato. "It’s settled then. I’ll bring this little rascal with when I co to Zhongxing tomorrow!"
"Okay."
At dinner ti, Mu Nian indeed didn’t co downstairs to eat.
The little guy had just co to a strange environnt; he would need so ti to adapt.
Yan Yueqing decided not to disturb him and instructed Butler Zhong to take the al up to him.
Mu Tianxing even made a special trip downstairs to thank her, making her feel a bit embarrassed.
"Tianxing, I’m much older than you, so just call Sister Yueqing from now on. This ’Miss Yan’ business sounds so distant," she said.
Logically, Mu Nian should be calling her Aunt Yueqing, so wasn’t this a free promotion in status for her?
But Mu Tianxing couldn’t very well call her "Aunt Yueqing" along with his brother, could he? So he blushed and agreed, "Okay, Sister Yueqing."
"We don’t have much photography equipnt at ho. I’ll have Butler Zhong buy so tomorrow," Yan Yueqing rembered sothing. "By the way, you ntioned Xiao Nian really likes looking at stars? What if... I buy a telescope for tomorrow, so Xiao Nian can get a clearer view of the night sky?"
"No, no, no need for that!" Mu Tianxing waved his hands in refusal as soon as he heard. "Sister Yueqing, a telescope would be too extravagant."
