Tianlu Lake Villa District, Bo Family’s old residence.
In the early morning, the servants gradually set up a table full of dishes. After finishing arranging flowers, Wen Yan ca downstairs and found the hall empty, with no sign of her husband or son.
"Where are Junfeng and Tingshen?"
"Madam, the master went to the rehabilitation hospital early to visit the old master. He was concerned about disturbing your rest, so he didn’t say anything. The eldest young master... has been in the study since last night and hasn’t co out yet."
Wen Yan turned and looked towards the study. The light inside was still on, clearly showing he had stayed up all night.
"This child is simply a workaholic. He didn’t rest well a few days ago due to grandpa’s illness, and now that he finally has so free ti, he throws himself into work again."
"Uncle Li, go and call the young master down for breakfast."
"Understood."
Wen Yan sat by the dining table, opened her phone, and saw a string of ssages and calls. The ’daughter-in-law’ thoughts she had set aside surged up again at this mont.
By the New Year, Tingshen would be twenty-eight. Not to ntion marriage, he hasn’t even been in a relationship. Originally, they said a man is like a flower at forty, and she wasn’t in a rush to push him on this matter. But with him so focused on his career, almost all of his energy is spent there, disrupting even his routine and diet, which will inevitably harm his health in the long run.
The matter of a daughter-in-law, she still needs to pay attention to, find soone to properly keep him in line.
"Madam, the eldest young master is here."
"Hmm."
Wen Yan looked at her son, whose expression was indifferent, showing no apparent change, but his eyes were lined with red from exhaustion. Feeling a bit distressed, she asked, "Until what ti were you looking at docunts last night?"
Uncle Li beside her lowered his head, not daring to speak up. He wanted to say... the young master wasn’t working.
"You, really, work is never-ending. What are you working so hard for? Thinking you’re a machine? After breakfast, co with to the hospital to see your grandpa. The doctors say he’s recovering particularly well recently, capable of practicing calligraphy again. Once your grandpa is fully recovered, our family of five will personally visit the Ye Family to express our thanks..."
At the ntion of the Ye Family, Bo Tingshen’s expression suddenly froze.
Wen Yan noticed he finally reacted and imdiately shifted the topic, "Tingshen, do you rember the Jian family that lived next door seven years ago?"
"They have a daughter nad Jian Sing, who used to co to our house often when she was younger. Of course... you were studying abroad at that ti and rarely ca back, but you did et her a few tis."
"Sing, this child, is quite exceptional. Not only is she beautiful, but her learning ability is also strong. She went abroad for further study in her early twenties, not to a regular elite college, but to your famous alma mater, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Country M, majoring in financial economics, the sa as you, and she obtained many honorary certificates. She just returned ho yesterday."
"As soon as she returned, she called her mother, saying she wanted to join BHS and asked if she could arrange to et you to apply in person. Considering our longti neighborly relationship and her sincerity, I didn’t refuse. Do you have ti to et her today?"
Wen Yan chattered enthusiastically, and Uncle Li beside them was too embarrassed to remind her: Madam, the young master is distracted, not listening to you at all.
In his mind, it was filled with the smiles and charming expressions of the little woman, like a delicate thread tightly binding his heart. n’s absent-mindedness caused him to grip his phone tightly, showing dozens of call records, none of which were answered.
"She also sent mom a photo. Kids really do change over eighteen years, getting prettier. Still young! Look at her fair and tender skin; even mom is jealous!"
Jealous?
Bo Tingshen looked up, "What did you say?"
Wen Yan was left speechless, realizing her efforts were for naught since he hadn’t listened. But never mind, she repeated everything once more.
"In short, Sing wants to invite you for a al to personally apply for a job, do you have ti today? Can you agree?"
"Okay."
"You agreed?"
Upon hearing his consent, Wen Yan was overjoyed. She knew it! Using work as an excuse, he would definitely agree!
"I’ll choose the place."
"Okay, okay, no problem!"
He even offered to book the restaurant. Is the son truly cherishing talent, or has he finally caught on? Wen Yan, excited, fetched her phone to seize the opportunity, "Here, look, this is Sing’s pic..."
Before she could open the image, she saw him taking his phone to make a call and walk out.
"Hey, what’s with this child, getting busy with work again?"
"Oh, oh, President Bo! President Bo, do you have any instructions?"
At Star Entertainnt’s office, Jiang Wen hurriedly stood up, excitedly bowing his head upon receiving the call.
"Alright, alright! Understood! I guarantee to complete the task!"
After finishing the al and the maid clearing the table, as soon as Ye Juncheng left, Ye Xian excitedly leaped onto the bed. Compared to her lifelessness yesterday, she seed as if injected with enthusiasm, revived completely.
She picked up her phone, which was turned off on the bedside, and upon turning it on, her expression turned terrified.
"How did the CEO make so many calls?! And at this ti..."
Continuing from last night at six, all the way until five in the morning without a pause. It’s over! It’s over! Did he not sleep all night? He must think she was deliberately not answering!
Just as she was contemplating how to respond, Jiang Wen’s call ca in, "Ye Xian, sorry to disturb your rest. I initially planned to give you a ten-day vacation, but Yuani has a rush mobile ad, the video needs finishing within the week. Today is Saturday, so can you get out of bed now?"
"I can, I’m bouncy and lively now."
"That’s good! At 12, Sky Ring Building 1019 for the ad shoot, don’t be late!"
Ye Xian: "Hey..."
"What’s wrong? Any issue? The penalty for this ad breach isn’t small, and the client is in urgent need of the video. The company has thousands waiting, heard the boss is your fan and specifically nad you as the spokesperson. You wouldn’t want to let her down, right?"
"Ah..." Ye Xian paused, "No, I just wanted to ask, how long will the shoot take?"
"Not long, just a mobile ad. With your expertise, it’ll take at most an hour."
"Alright."
Ye Xian hung up the phone and, looking at the dozens of missed calls in the contact list, changed her mind.
The CEO had called all night, certainly furious, unwilling to hear her explanation. So, she decided, after shooting the ad, she’ll go directly to BHS to surprise him. As if already imagining the scene, she joyfully rolled on her bed a few tis holding her phone.
At half-past eleven in the morning, at Sky Ring Building’s entrance, a smoky-gray Rolls-Royce Phantom gently ca to a stop. From the car, a polished black leather shoe stepped out.
The woman, long waiting nearby, hurried excitedly toward the tall and elegant figure of the man, extending her hand, "Long ti no see, Tingshen... President Bo."
