The Qian Family and the Dais Family were both part of the sa high society circles, so their contact information was readily shared.
The Dais family, as one of the few wealthy and powerful aristocratic families, held a higher status than the Qian Family.
So when i Lin called Qian Duoduo, he was exceptionally cordial, with a tone that was as warm and pleasant as a spring breeze.
However, i Lin didn’t notice any of this. After all, ever since she was a child, almost everyone had spoken to her this way, except for that group of won. What she cared about most right now was—
"Uncle Qian, what’s been going on with Qian Xingxing recently?"
She was quite direct.
Her call left Qian Duoduo montarily stunned.
It was i Lin Dais.
’The sole daughter of the Dais family... why would she be asking about Xingxing?’
He paused for a mont, and i Lin grew a little nervous too. "What is it? Did sothing terrible happen?"
"Not at all."
"Then why haven’t I been able to contact him recently?"
"We’ve had a small family matter co up recently, so he hasn’t been in contact with the outside world. What is it, i Lin? Did you need him for sothing?"
"As long as he’s okay, then it’s nothing. By the way, is he not going to work at your branch office anymore?"
"He is."
’Then there’s nothing to worry about.’
On her end, i Lin exchanged a few pleasantries with Qian Duoduo before ending the call.
On the other end, Qian Duoduo stared at i Lin’s ID and fell into deep thought.
’The pearl in the palm of the Dais family, the sole heir... Whoever can pluck this pearl from the crown will be able to wear the crown itself.’
’If—’
’Wealth and a title... that would absolutely take the Qian Family to its peak.’
’It seems I need to re-evaluate my son.’
’Can a star land upon a crown?’
-
"There, you heard him. It’s nothing serious."
"Then I’ll send Little President Qian another ssage." She tapped open her terminal, and the first thing she saw was the internal ssage from that morning, the one canceling the notice about replacing the editor-in-chief...
She had been standing in the snow this whole ti and hadn’t even noticed.
She ssaged Little President Qian, but he still didn’t reply.
Still, having heard the situation from his father, ii felt relieved even without a reply.
She quickly stood up to thank her. i Lin raised a hand. "It was nothing. No need to thank . Just consider it paynt for bringing the food."
"Oh, right. When you get back, be sure to quickly tell that strear that everything’s fine, so she doesn’t have to worry."
"...Okay, okay, I will."
"Mm."
The atmosphere beca awkward for a mont.
ii and i Lin moved in vastly different circles, so they had nothing in common to talk about. On top of that, the young miss was now hungry, so she asked, "Well then, miss, is there anything else?"
"No, that’s all. Thank you for your help today."
"It was a small matter." i Lin wasn’t concerned with such things. She stood up. "Do you need to have a hovercar take you back?"
"There’s no need, Miss ilin. I brought my own hovercar."
"Then would you like to co to my ho for a cup of hot tea to warm up?"
"I’m afraid not." ii stood up and brushed the snow off her clothes. "I still have things to do at the company, so I should be getting back."
"Mm... wait just a mont."
i Lin seed to rember sothing and suddenly stopped ii. "Can I add your terminal ID?"
"Of course."
And so, after adding each other as contacts, the two parted ways in the snow. On her way back in the hovercar, ii also sent a ssage to Jiang Qiuqiu to let her know everything was alright.
Back at the Dais residence, Jiang Jiang carried a food container and said, "It seems the young miss really does like that strear."
"Her cooking does have a certain quality to it."
"Alright, let’s head back for now."
Back in her room, she finished the food that had been delivered.
Just then, the kitchen presented the tofu dish she had requested. The hired chef lived up to their star rating, managing to replicate the flavor by about sixty percent. What a pity—
’Only sixty percent.’
She took a few bites and set down her chopsticks. "Give the reward to the chef who made the fourth version."
"How do you think I could hire her to co cook just for ?"
The young miss often made such wishes. Jiang Jiang thought for a mont. "Buying the Federation Live Broadcast Company might do the trick."
"..."
"I’d have to wait until I beco the Family Head of the Dais Family for that. I don’t have that kind of money right now."
Hearing this, Jiang Jiang began to laugh.
’The young miss always says the strangest, cutest things.’
