President, Please Be Careful
152

His mind saddled with a myriad of thoughts, Zhao Youlin returned home to find that it was past lunch time.

Joy had long since finished eating and went to nap. Duan Yarong was currently preparing for something in life. When he saw Zhao Youlin return, he immediately got up to order a cook in the kitchen to heat up the remaining food for Zhao Youlin so that he could serve it.

“Youlin, you're back. You don't eat out, do you? I had Aunt Liu order some food for you, and you could eat it after she heated it."

“I eat out. You don't have to trouble yourself.” Warmth filled Zhao Youlin's heart. Once he returned home, he no longer had to face the empty house. Instead, she has a family that cares for her well-being. This feeling is truly extraordinary.

Duan Yarong did not agree to it and grabbed her hand to pat her a little as she said, “I know how you are. The food outside is impossible to compare to our homes. You're picky, so you must have eaten a little. Eat a little more, otherwise you will be starving while you have to work in the afternoon.”

Because Duan Yarong insisted, Zhao Youlin had no other choice. He could only smile and agree.

He sat beside Duan Yarong as the woman pointed to the chair beside him. Zhao Youlin's gaze was then attracted by the items on the table. He asked confusedly, “Bu, what is this? Why haven't I seen them before?”

“This will be the anniversary of your grandmother's death in a few days. These are the things we will need.”

"Mranny's death warning?" Zhao Youlin averted her gaze from those things and looked at Duan Yarong in surprise.

"Yes, don't you remember?" Duan Yarong glanced at Zhao Youlin. Then, as if he remembered something, he comforted him, “But it makes sense. Ever since you married into Your family, you rarely came back. It's been a long time, so it's only natural that you don't remember it.”

What Duan Yarong did not know was that the Zhao Youlin in front of him was not the real Zhao Youlin. Zhao Youlin in the past also never remembered this, so how could that now know?

“...Yes, it's been a long time, and I don't really remember it.” When Zhao Youlin saw that Duan Yarong did not seem to suspect anything, she heaved a sigh of relief, nodded, and asked for information from Duan Yarong, "Then, Grandma's death anniversary is on ...?"

"It's three days later."

“Oh... three days later, huh? Do we need to prepare something, such as joss banknotes or prayer candles?”

When Duan Yarong heard Zhao Youlin's words, she was stunned. Then, as if she remembered something, she chuckled, “Dumb girl, we will go to the public cemetery to sweep her grave. We will not go to a remote valley in the mountains to worship him. We do not need to prepare joss banknotes and the like.”

Zhao Youlin smiled awkwardly and did not know what to say. In fact, his adoptive mother was buried in the mountains commonly seen in villages.

Every year, during the Mausoleum Sweeping Day, he would go with Mu Chen's mother to sweep his grave, and burning incense and banknotes was one of the necessary steps.

Who knows where rich people like them are buried and what things they need to prepare for when they go to sweep the graves?

While Zhao Youlin was wondering how she should release herself from this topic which could easily make others suspect her, Zhao Shunrong appeared, and she caught Duan Yarong's attention. It also caused Zhao Youlin to slightly sigh in relief.

Zhao Shunrong nodded and saw his wife enter the kitchen before he faced Zhao Youlin and asked, "Are you used to the company already?"

"That's pretty good. The seniors in the company took care of me, and Uncle Xiao did his best to help me.

"That's great." Zhao Shunrong glanced at Zhao Youlin. Once he was convinced that he wasn't working too hard, his worries disappeared a little.

Zhao Shunrong had always been a quiet man. Meanwhile, Zhao Youlin was still thinking about what Duan Yarong said, so they did not say anything for a while and just sat opposite each other.

Then, Zhao Shunrong recalled the deal that Zhao Youlin was responsible for and took the initiative to say, “Did the deal go smoothly? Did Uncle Xiao think of any plans for you and guide you?"

Zhao Youlin was dumbfounded, and she remembered the things she had talked about with Xiao Jingyao not long ago.

The reason why Zhao Shunrong gave up on another more complete plan and decided to land Ye Yan was simple. Zhao Youlin only needed to think about it a little, and she would find out that this was definitely related to her.

Mu Tingfeng had just divorced from her not too long ago, and now, everyone in the upper class society knew that the Mu family and the Zhao family were like oil and water.

Mu Tingfeng might not cause her any trouble because of things that happened in the past, but based on the grudges they had in the past, even if Mu Tingfeng did not cause any trouble, she said, he would not be kind enough to help her and Zhao's company.

Choosing this plan may bring greater profits, but the chances of it coming to fruition are much lower. Moreover, Zhao Youlin was now the daughter of Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong. From a personal point of view, with what happened before as a precedent, the husband and wife did not want Mu Tingfeng to have another business relationship with the Zhao family so she would have another chance to hurt Zhao Youlin.

As soon as Zhao Youlin found her answer, she naturally understood everything that was happening, but it was precisely because she understood that she felt touched by the two adults who were watching her, and he felt even more guilty for making Zhao Shunrong satisfied with second best.

And now, there was even a high chance that he could not get Ye Yan's cooperation. Should he try…?

As Zhao Youlin thought about many things, she did not notice Zhao Shunrong frowning due to his silence. Then…

"Have you encountered any obstacles during the deal?" Zhao Shunrong's question dragged Zhao Youlin out of her daydream, and she said worriedly, “It's okay. The deal went well. Uncle Xiao has worked for many years with you, and he is truly outstanding in terms of his experiences and others. I learned a lot from him. We are still negotiating a deal, and we should be able to get results in a few days.”

Zhao Shunrong looked at Zhao Youlin deeply and sighed slightly before he said, “That's good. But if you're really having some trouble, you can tell me. After all, you've just come into contact with this field, and it's normal for you not to get used to it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Uncle Xiao."

"okay." Zhao Youlin forced a smile, and at that moment, she made up her mind.

After eating together with Zhao Shunrong, Zhao Youlin hurriedly returned to the company. As he saw Xiao Jingyao waiting for him in the office, he took a deep breath and said with determination, “Help me contact the president of Mu Feng Group. I will talk to him about the land in the suburbs.”

Xiao Jingyao looked up, and a hint of surprise shone in her eyes, but she said nothing about it and only agreed to it. "All right, General Manager."
