"Ah! Nan Zhou told you?" Jiang Nuan hadn't expected her to ask about this matter right away. She answered very directly.
She looked like a curious young girl.
"Yes! He said you are a very good partner, and I will also be Brother Nan Zhou's best partner," Su Tian said, handing the washed tomatoes to Jiang Nuan to cut, full of confidence.
"You'll develop a tacit understanding over time. After you partner with him for a while, you'll understand. Once you're familiar with each other, you'll even be able to sense each other's footsteps and breathing within a certain range," Jiang Nuan said casually, also noticing the confidence on her face.
On the plate in front of her, she had already arranged exquisite dishes.
The tomatoes were also beautifully arranged.
Su Tian's usually indifferent face softened into a gentle smile. "Senior Sister, you're right. Some things change over time. I like how capable you are, Senior Sister. You're so perfect even at cooking. I thought you must be a very meticulous person in life. Meeting you today has changed my perception of you. You're very approachable."
Jiang Nuan smiled. She was actually quite reserved herself. "I have children, so I can't always keep a stern face. Children's growth needs a warm environment."
She was not one for easy smiles, and few things in life made her laugh. It wasn't until she had children that she didn't want them to be as uninteresting as she was, and her personality had changed a lot.
"The children are very cute and smart," Su Tian also liked children very much. It was just that for people like them, children truly depended on fate.
The two chatted for a while, feeling as if they had known each other for a long time. As they ate, their conversation became even livelier.
After dinner, they had tea and added each other on WeChat.
The two men listened to the two women chat and almost had no say.
But seeing how happy they were, they didn't disturb them.
Nan Zhou was now managing the family business and spoke more freely in front of Mu Jiuchen. The two discussed business matters, and he handled them with ease. However, Nan Zhou still felt that Mu Jiuchen was very professional, especially in the stock market. He thought he was quite accomplished, but after hearing Mu Jiuchen's words, he felt as if he had learned more in a few words than in ten years of study.
He hadn't felt this way before, but after getting involved in the industry, he had developed a sense of admiration for Mu Jiuchen.
This kind of professional knowledge truly required a long time to study to grasp its essence.
Nan Zhou was very happy and lost track of time while chatting. It wasn't until after ten o'clock when the two little ones got sleepy that Nan Zhou and Su Tian got up to say goodbye.
Jiang Nuan packed some gifts, as well as the medicinal pills for Chairman Nan's recovery, and gave them to Nan Zhou to take back.
In the car, Su Tian looked at Nan Zhou, who was driving, and smiled. "Brother Nan Zhou, I finally understand why you like her so much. Her eyes are so calm, devoid of desires or demands. She treats her friends with a pure heart, but she can be ruthless to her enemies. Most importantly, she's very beautiful."
Nan Zhou looked at her with a hint of amusement. "You've said so much, but what exactly are you trying to say?"
Su Tian: "If I were a man, I would like her too."
Nan Zhou: "..."
Su Tian looked a little annoyed. "We still haven't made any progress in the investigation. Li Rongyao's death was also very strange. The people who were arrested aren't saying anything, and the clues have gone cold."
"But Senior Sister said that we should follow Jiang Yuxin. Li Rongyao is Jiang Yuxin's cousin, so we can find a breakthrough from here."
Nan Zhou narrowed his eyes. "This matter can't be rushed. There's a huge organization behind them. We have to dismantle them bit by bit to uncover the truth."
"I'll follow Jiang Yuxin tomorrow." Su Tian couldn't believe they wouldn't find any clues.
Nan Zhou said, "It's the Spring Festival period now, and they rarely go out. Let's wait a bit longer."
"Oh!" Su Tian looked at him and smiled sweetly.
Her admiration was unconcealed in her eyes.
"Then I'll go after the eighth day of the lunar new year. Shall I cook for you tomorrow? Come to my place to eat. Don't worry, you'll definitely like the dishes I make this time," Su Tian said with a smile.
Nan Zhou pursed his lips slightly and remained silent.
Su Tian took it as his tacit consent, assuming he would definitely go.
...
The next morning, Li Yanheng came to pick up Jiang Yukuo to go to Modu.
Mu Jiuchen escorted them to the airport.
At the airport, Mu Jiuchen couldn't help but give his son some instructions. "Kuo Bao, when you get there, you must be good and don't mess around."
Jiang Yukuo blinked at his father. He had been saying this all morning.
Appreciating his father's concern, he patiently replied, "I know, Dad."
Mu Jiuchen then looked at Li Yanheng. "You're all grown up now. Use your brain when you do things, and don't always get caught. When I'm not in Modu, if you get caught, I won't be able to rush over. Protect yourself and don't burden Kuo Bao."
Li Yanheng scratched his head unhappily. In his elder brother's heart, he was not even as good as a six-year-old child.
"Don't worry, Brother. I'm just going to discuss work matters with Rong Yin and won't do anything to worry you."
Mu Jiuchen hoped he truly wouldn't do anything that would cause them worry.
After a few more nagging instructions, he let the two of them go to get their boarding passes.
Mu Jiuchen didn't leave. Instead, he found a seat and waited for Xiao Fan to arrive.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, Xiao Fan arrived. "Sir, we can go. I've got the passenger list."
Mu Jiuchen nodded faintly, and the two headed to the parking lot.
In the car, Xiao Fan handed the list to Mu Jiuchen.
Mu Jiuchen carefully reviewed the list, and everything seemed fine.
"Xiao Fan, keep a close eye on the flights to Modu during this period," Mu Jiuchen instructed.
"Okay, Sir. I'll have Chen Feng keep an eye on it." Chen Feng is in a relationship, and I'm jealous of him. He's been very happy lately, so it's good to give him something to do.
...
On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Jiang Nuan started to feel restless. She hadn't gone out for three days. She had spent these days focusing on detoxifying her body, and her health was improving day by day. On the morning of the ninth, Mu Jiuchen also officially returned to work. With nothing else to do, Jiang Nuan took her daughter out to play.
After the New Year, the weather was becoming warmer. The mother and daughter went out in the morning. Jiang Nuan took her daughter for some famous morning tea, and then they went to watch a movie. After the movie, they went to the first-floor lobby to take photos. She was doing all the things she hadn't had time to do with her daughter before.
The mother and daughter had a happy time.
Jiang Nuan also occasionally took happy videos and sent them to Mu Jiuchen. Mu Jiuchen would smile widely whenever he saw the videos Jiang Nuan sent, regretting that he couldn't go out and play with them.
At five o'clock, Jiang Nuan sent a message asking Mu Jiuchen to come for dinner. They were going to eat specialty dishes on the sixth floor of the mall.
Mu Jiuchen told her he would arrive in half an hour. Jiang Nuan took her daughter up first. The first to fifth floors were the mall, and the sixth and seventh floors were the food courts. As she took the escalator to the fourth floor, she saw a hurried figure.
After thinking for a moment, she pulled her daughter along to follow.
