River Dam Bungalow.
Lunch was at Xue Yuantong’s house, using a clay pot. Jiang Ning sat in front of the stove under the cooktop and struck a fla to light the wood.
Today, Tongtong was learning to ride a bicycle, which was exhausting, so the responsibility of wielding the spoon was given to Chuchu, while she sat on a small stool explaining the technical points.
The small miscellaneous fish in the water jar all t their end under Chuchu’s knife, now neatly and comfortably lying in the enal basin.
Jiang Ning was cooking with two pots simultaneously, one for pumpkin rice soup and the other for miscellaneous fish.
During the cooking, the two girls were whispering; Jiang Ning did not intervene. He used his spare ti to check emails from Shao Shuangshuang.
Her negotiation team sent a ssage that the Rui Fang Group had extensive connections. Despite using another company to initiate negotiations, their identity was still uncovered.
Upon learning that Evergreen Liquid was preparing to acquire the land of Snowflake Lake, Rui Fang offered an absurdly high price, over ten tis the auction price.
Based on past cases, Shao Shuangshuang judged that even if the other party’s offer was t, Rui Fang Group might still continue to make exorbitant demands.
Jiang Ning said, "Send the information on the Li family from Rui Fang Group."
The layout of Snowflake Lake was crucial to Jiang Ning’s future cultivation, worthy of him taking action personally.
Shao Shuangshuang was online, and upon receiving the ssage from Jiang Ning, a smile appeared on her bright face.
Every ti he said sothing like this, all problems were instantly resolved.
Just like when they were young, he was like an omnipotent father in their eyes.
Shao Shuangshuang said, "Okay, leave it to ."
Later, she would report the schedules of important mbers of the Li family to Jiang Ning.
"The Press Conference for Mu Changqing is ready to be scheduled, inviting many people. Are you planning to attend?" Shao Shuangshuang said. With the current size of Evergreen Liquid, she chose not to quietly release new products.
Instead, they learned from large foreign companies, like the iPhone launch event, giving presentations to comprehensively explain the effects of Mu Changqing, using the opportunity to promote Mu Changqing.
The only regret is that the park planned by Evergreen Liquid is still under construction, and the current building’s capacity is limited.
"Save a few tickets." Jiang Ning thought for a mont and said, "I have a batch of quickly ripening waterlons. We can’t finish them all, so deliver them to the villa when ready, and you can distribute them as you wish."
He had plotted a small half acre of spirit field to plant waterlons, with hundreds of lons ripening in succession. He was worried that Tongtong would beco picky after getting used to spiritual lons, so he only brought one ho occasionally.
As a result, those waterlons simply couldn’t all be eaten, which was a perfect chance to send them off to Shao Shuangshuang for arrangent.
Upon hearing this, Shao Shuangshuang couldn’t contain her excitent. She knew the allure of the Hu Qi Mountain waterlons, and she suppressed her joy, typing, "Okay."
She talked about so things related to work, ntioning how she went to an official departnt eting today and the gatekeeper mistook her subordinate, Lao Jin, for the president of Evergreen Liquid.
Luckily, Lao Jin was quick-witted, praising her role as the chairman, maintaining no airs, showing appropriate poise while being approachable, whereas Lao Jin lacked maturity, exposing too much.
She also talked about things unrelated to work, like her mother urging her to get married again, grumbling about the neighbor’s son from the Lao Lu family, who already knows how to buy soy sauce, saying how respectable and wonderful he is.
Shao Shuangshuang jokingly said that her mother’s nagging made her really want to break that kid’s leg, so he couldn’t go buy soy sauce anymore.
Once they started talking, if Jiang Ning hadn’t ended the conversation, Shao Shuangshuang would probably rant with him all day.
After finishing, in the Evergreen Liquid Building, the CEO’s office, Shao Shuangshuang set down the phone with a smile.
The two female secretaries holding the folders exchanged strange looks, thinking ’Why is President Shao smiling so happily?’
...
Before dinner, Jiang Ning went ho to get a waterlon and cut it open in front of Tongtong and Chuchu, revealing the enticing red flesh.
When he cut the waterlon, he displayed superior knife skills, with flashing knife shadows as each cube of flesh fell into the enal plate, extraordinarily pleasing to the eye.
Xue Yuantong was stunned, exclaiming a desire to learn the knife technique and secretly encouraging Chuchu to speak up.
Chuchu silently took out her phone and snapped a picture of Xue Yuantong’s hand.
This made Xue Yuantong puzzled, "Why are you taking a picture of my hand?"
She even deliberately held her hand up to inspect it closely, slender, delicate, very white, nothing special.
Xue Chuchu nonchalantly said, "Nothing, just recording how your hand looks now."
The brief interlude ended, and Jiang Ning moved the dining table to the hall, providing a clear view of the field outside while eating, offering excellent scenery.
Today’s lunch wasn’t complex, compared to before, it was even a bit simple.
Steaming hot red-braised small fish were served, the fish coated in batter and fried before being braised, giving the sauce a rich flavor. Pancakes were attached around the edge, soaking up the sauce, comparable to earth pot chicken,
accompanied by pumpkin rice soup and a dish of spiritual lons from Hu Qi Mountain, offering a unique taste.
Xue Yuantong first ate the waterlon, then tasted so small fish, only to find the fish deliciously flavored, quite superior in taste for being simple braised miscellaneous fish.
She stared at Chuchu, stunned, her expression incredulous.
A sudden realization washed over her, the feeling of the new generation surpassing the old, like dying on the beach.
’Is it possible that my treasured knife has dulled?’
Beauty lanting their twilight years, heroes prohibited to see themselves aged, Xue Yuantong only felt she was old, incapable, even Chuchu’s culinary skills had surpassed her.
Xue Chuchu, seeing Tongtong’s expression, also tasted the braised miscellaneous fish; surprisingly, it was quite good!
After eating the fish, she couldn’t even believe herself, ’When did my culinary skills beco so good? Even surpassing Tongtong’s?’
Jiang Ning praised, "Today’s fish is not bad."
Upon hearing this, a sense of joy naturally arose in Xue Chuchu, different from being praised for appearance; she liked when people praised her skills.
