When Tang Wan arrived at the front hall, Chen’s mother was tidying up the things Qi Zeyan had sent over.
Seeing her come in, she couldn’t help but say, “Miss, this Mr. Qi is really too polite. The gifts he sends are all expensive, and just now, I saw there were even some ginseng in the box.”
“Ginseng?” Tang Wan thought they were just some ordinary nutritional products.
Their relationship was merely a normal business relationship. Whatever gifts Qi Zeyan sent, she definitely planned to reciprocate with gifts of equal value next time.
Tang Wan specifically went to look at the ginseng, which was extravagantly packaged in a red gift box with gold lettering; however, the quality of the ginseng inside wasn’t particularly good.
“Probably just selling the packaging,” laughed Chen’s mother. “It’s likely Mr. Qi doesn’t know how to choose ginseng, he was probably fooled by someone.”
Tang Wan chuckled lightly, which was typical:
Rich and naive.
“Just now, the senior said he’s a very proud man. I didn’t expect him to be so polite and send so many things.”
Just from his rich young man attire, it was clear what kind of person he was in Beijing.
“Probably out of respect for Xiaowu’s friendship,” she guessed.
“That makes sense, we don’t have any relationship otherwise. If not for Xiaowu, why would he go to such expense?” Thinking about pleasing the Jiang family made too much sense.
…
At this moment, Qi Zeyan was sitting on the couch, surveying Jiang Jinsang’s bedroom.
He had no idea that in Tang Wan’s eyes, he was just a foolish man with a lot of money, and even the heartfelt devotion he offered was attributed to Jiang Jinsang.
“This room is nice, warm, good lighting; it’s very suitable for you to recuperate.”
“Why did you suddenly come over?” Jiang Jinsang poured him a glass of water, and from start to finish, his expression didn’t reveal anything.
“Checking things out. It’s a multi-billion project, I definitely had to come see, just didn’t expect such a coincidence.”
Recently, Qi Zeyan had a lot of troubles to deal with. It was December, the time to review department performances, and with many social obligations, he was really here to vent his frustrations.
“Jinsang, tell me, what kind of special fate could it be that let me meet her?”
“I really took a liking to her work at first sight; my coming here was coincidental. Isn’t it destined?”
Jiang Jinsang nodded, his expression saying:
Whatever you say.
“You’ve been staying at the Tang family’s for so long, what’s her private character like? Any particular preferences?”
“You know I don’t like talking about others behind their backs,” Jiang Jinsang stated bluntly.
“I’m not asking you to speak ill of her, just give me some information. If we end up together, I’ll treat you to dinner alone, and give you a matchmaker’s red envelope.”
Jiang Cuo stood by, struggling to hold back his laughter, his eyes narrowing into slits:
A matchmaker’s red envelope? He’s going to laugh someone to death.
“I was thinking, I can’t always trouble him with work, but with you here, I can use visiting you as an excuse to come over often.”
“Luckily you’re here for a broken engagement, so…”
“I won’t hold back.”
Jiang Jinsang drank his water and said nothing.
After all, the pit is dug by yourself, it has nothing to do with me.
…
At dinner, Qi Zeyan looked at the table full of dishes and couldn’t resist asking, “Ms. Tang, did you make all these?”
This title was used by Tang Wan when she took him on a tour of the studio; although she was younger than Qi Zeyan, and also a craftsperson, calling her ‘teacher’ was not too much.
“I made a few dishes, they’re all southern flavors, I don’t know if you’ll like them.” Tang Wan was always pleasant and more than polite to him.
Jiang Jinsang didn’t spot any coriander or carrots on the dinner table today, instead, there were two dishes he particularly loved.
Qi Zeyan sat next to him, leaning in with a hushed voice, “Hey, there are dishes you particularly like.”
“It must be because they’re taking care of my poor health.”
“Very thoughtful, really nice. She’ll definitely make a great sister-in-law!”
Jiang Jinsang smirked slightly. Sister-in-law?
Actually, Jiang Jinsang wasn’t really the youngest among his group of friends. He and Qi Zeyan were the same age, he was even two months older; it’s just that when Qi Zeyan was registered, they accidentally added an extra year, and someone shamelessly always considered himself an elder brother.
During the meal, it was mostly Tang Wan’s grandfather and Qi Zeyan talking, while Tang Wan carefully watched Jiang Jinsang, silently serving him a bowl of soup.
The two dishes she cooked today were still based on what Mrs. Jiang had provided, but clearly, Jiang Jinsang enjoyed them quite a lot. By now, she roughly understood that the listed items might not all be his favorites.
“…Knowing I’m not in good health, bringing all these items, very considerate,” Tang grandfather chuckled.
“It wasn’t me being considerate, but Teacher Tang is very filial. We had roughly planned the collaboration period, but she wanted to postpone it till spring just to take care of your health.”
Qi Zeyan was genuinely nice. Even if Tang Wan wasn’t there today, he wouldn’t have tried to highlight his presence in front of Tang grandfather, really crediting the matter to himself.
“We’re in a partnership, I’m just using work as an excuse to visit you, the truly considerate one is Teacher Tang.”
“You are lucky to have such a granddaughter.”
Since Qi Zeyan was a businessman, he knew how to measure his words well in public. Even though he had a fondness for Tang Wan, he wouldn’t show it too obviously, still keeping it under wraps.
Before figuring out Tang grandfather’s temperament for sure, praising Tang Wan heavily was definitely the safe choice.
Sure enough, Tang grandfather smiled, “My granddaughter is indeed beyond reproach.”
Meanwhile, Assistant Xiaozhu was standing in the corridor with the Jiang family, staring at Hua Mei.
Jiang Cuo squinted his fox-like eyes, and said with a smile, “Your boss is becoming even more shameless.”
Xiaozhu, who had followed Qi Zeyan and had seen much of the world, felt quite embarrassed by such a comment. He looked at Hua Mei and remained silent.
…
After they had finished dining and were enjoying some fruit, they chatted for a while.
“Mr. Qi, do you have plans this afternoon?” Tang Wan inquired.
“What’s up?” Qi Zeyan pretended to be ignorant.
As a business partner, having traveled all the way from Beijing, Tang Wan would naturally fulfill the duties of a host, arranging all his meals and accommodations.
“If it’s nothing urgent, and since there’s no rain, Chen Manager and I were thinking of showing you and Assistant Xiaozhu around Pingjiang.”
“That might trouble you too much.”
“Not at all.”
Tang grandfather was drinking water, then suddenly looked at Jiang Jinsang, “Xiaowu, you’ve been in Pingjiang for quite a while but haven’t really gone out yet, right? After the rain, Pingjiang is quite beautiful. Why don’t you also take a look around? It’s rare for your friend to visit.”
Qi Zeyan kept giving him knowing glances:
What the heck are you doing?
Jiang Jinsang caught his signals and gave him a reassuring look, releasing Qi Zeyan’s tension. Then he heard him say, “Then I’ll listen to Grandpa Tang.”
Qi Zeyan was full of question marks: What the hell?
It was only after Chen Manager arrived that they all got into the car, Jiang Jinsang naturally riding in the same one as Qi Zeyan.
“Jiang Xiaowu, I kept giving you signals, didn’t you see?”

“If I didn’t go, who would have distracted Chen Manager for you? Would you have had any time alone with her?”
Qi Zeyan suddenly realized, and patted his shoulder, saying, “Good brother!”
But when they reached their destination, Qi Zeyan realized that the situation was completely different from what he had expected!
