Xiaomai already has a special feeling for Ye Qiu.
If Ye Qiu isn’t at the villa, it feels like something is missing.
Now hearing Ye Qiu’s voice, she quickly ran out from inside.
"Ye Qiu, you’re finally back."
Ye Qiu has been away from Jinling for over a month.
"Bring the things inside."
When Xiaomai was asked to bring the gift boxes inside, quickly she learned that these were bought by Ye Qiu for Ye Weidong and his wife.
Today isn’t the weekend, Lin Xiang has gone back to school and will return after class in the afternoon.
So now it’s just Xiaomai at home.
"Ye Qiu, should I make something for you to eat?"
"No need, I had breakfast before coming back."
Ye Qiu sat on the sofa, Xiaomai went over to pour him a cup of tea, and then Xiaomai started to massage him.
Returning home definitely feels different than being outside.
At least he truly feels that sense of being home.
Watching Xiaomai giving him a massage, Ye Qiu didn’t actually feel tired.
"You go do your own thing."
Ye Qiu headed upstairs.
Around lunchtime, Ye Weidong, his wife, and Ye Xue heard Ye Qiu was back, so the three of them came back to have lunch, otherwise, they’d stay at the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant to eat.
Besides the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant in Jinling, there’s a second branch in Jinling, and the other two branches in Jiangzhou, which have opened after the National Day, are generally doing well, almost no worse than in Jinling.
Following this model for branch expansion, Ye Weidong plans to continue opening in cities around Jinling.
He has always been scouting suitable locations over in East Sea.
In fact, he normally follows Ye Qiu to scout locations, and Ye Qiu has taught him a lot, allowing Weidong to summarize some insights on his own.
The Imperial Cuisine Restaurant is a high-end restaurant targeted at affluent consumers.
So, it’s certainly different from ordinary restaurants.
Obviously, foot traffic and transportation locations are especially important.
Ye Weidong, his wife, and Ye Xue returned and didn’t see Ye Qiu but only Xiaomai. Ye Weidong asked, "Xiaomai, where’s Ye Qiu?"
"Uncle, Ye Qiu is upstairs."
"Why has the kid been in America for so long?"
"Ye Qiu brought gifts back for you and Auntie."
"Really?"
When Weidong heard there were gifts, he didn’t bother asking Ye Qiu what he was doing over there for so long.
Seeing Xiaomai bringing over the gifts.
One box contains American cigars, another is a diamond necklace Ye Qiu bought for Chen Fang.
Picking it up, Weidong saw the cigars were very nice.
The last time Ye Qiu brought cigars, he only had one left and didn’t want to smoke it. Unexpectedly, this time Ye Qiu bought a box of forty-eight.
He could give Liu Daqing a couple to taste.
As for the diamond necklace, it sparkled brightly and was clearly not cheap.
"Is this for me?" Chen Fang asked in disbelief.
Being an old woman now, a middle-aged lady, what’s the point of wearing these?
She even thought Ye Qiu may have bought gifts for Ye Xue and Xiaomai, but turned out it was only for her and Weidong.
Thus, she thought of giving it to Ye Xue.
"Xiaoxue, you take it."
"Mom, since Ye Qiu gave it to you, of course it’s yours."
Ye Xue doesn’t like wearing such jewelry.
Ye Qiu has already bought her quite a lot of jewelry, which she keeps stored in a cabinet.
For other women, perhaps it’s a deadly temptation, but for Ye Xue, it’s nothing special.
When Ye Qiu came downstairs, he asked, "Mom, this is an African diamond necklace, worth tens of thousands of US dollars each."
Tens of thousands of US dollars - that’s roughly a million Huaxia Yuan. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu spent so much all at once.
If not knowing his income is pretty good, Weidong would think Ye Qiu is really extravagant.
"I’m just an old lady now, wearing this is useless – best give it to Ye Xue." Weidong said.
Chen Fang glanced at Weidong and said, "This is a gift from our son, are you jealous?"
"I got cigars, right?"
Since lunch was ready, Ye Qiu sat down with the family and Xiaomai to have lunch together.
"Ye Qiu, the old home over there is starting construction soon, do you want to go back?"
Ordinarily, Ye Qiu should go back for the new house construction at the old home, and it’s not too far. But for Ye Qiu, it’s not a big deal, so he’s too lazy to go back.
"Dad, you all can go back, I’ll visit during the New Year."
The design plans, a month ago, were handed to Weidong by Ye Qiu, who then took them back to the old home.
Actually, the traditional Huizhou architecture at his old home can’t exceed three floors, and if they have enough manpower, the thousand-plus square meter structure can definitely be completed before the Spring Festival.
If it’s built according to his plans, it would certainly become the most beautiful Huizhou-style family house in the village and even in Huizhou.
With that sorted, Weidong plans to go back with Chen Fang and Ye Xue.
After lunch, Ye Qiu doesn’t plan to stay.
He wants to visit Shen Yueru at the Xingyue Group.
After saying a word to Xiaomai, Ye Qiu drove towards the Xingyue Group.
When arriving at the underground parking of Xingyue Group Tower, he parked the car and took the elevator to the floor of the CEO’s office.
During the elevator ride, it stopped, and Ye Qiu didn’t expect to run into Shen Xingru.
Shen Xingru hadn’t seen Ye Qiu for a long time, she even thought Ye Qiu had fallen out with her sister or had some conflict, otherwise why hadn’t Ye Qiu come to see Shen Yueru?
Seeing it was Shen Xingru, Ye Qiu realized he should follow her out.
Arriving at Shen Xingru’s office, now she seldom comes here as she is responsible for affairs at the new Silk Association.
Now she’s the Vice President of the new Silk Association council, holding a high rank and a significant position, while the association is somewhat semi-official, semi-civilian.
Though Shen Xingru isn’t particularly fond of these things, since her sister asked her to take charge over there, she does so for now.
"Doctor Ye, why haven’t I seen you for so long? I thought you had some conflict with my sister?"
"Of course not, I went to America to treat someone’s illness and just got back."
Oh, so that’s what it was.
Shen Xingru thought Ye Qiu went to do something.
No wonder she hasn’t seen him for so long.
In the meantime, Shen Xingru went over to pour Ye Qiu a glass of water and sat down next to him, her gaze seemed to carry tenderness while looking at Ye Qiu.
If it weren’t for Shen Yueru, Shen Xingru knows she would certainly have some story with Ye Qiu.
Anyway, after that matter, she no longer values much those things, she only values those who genuinely care for her.
