For six years, he had never stopped searching for Qianqian's birth mother. Jiang Ziyu's presence was only temporary. The woman who gave birth to Qianqian would eventually return. How would Qianqian, with her deep affection for Jiang Ziyu, treat her birth mother at such a tender age?
Di Mingjue stood at the doorway, listening to Jiang Ziyu's comforting words to Qianqian from inside. He was caught in a dilemma.
Sensing Qianqian's yearning for maternal love, Di Mingjue relented. As the old lady had said, Jiang Ziyu treated Qianqian very well. Until her birth mother returned, Qianqian still needed someone genuinely caring for her.
Turning away, he felt his way downstairs and left.
"Mommy!" Yuze had held back for a long time, his voice tinged with hoarseness. "Daddy is a bad guy. Why won't he let me be with you?"
This time, Yuze was truly angry.
Jiang Ziyu stroked Yuze's hair. "He's worried about you. After all, you have an allergy, and it was partly my oversight. Don't be angry with Daddy. He's doing this for your own good."
Yuze pouted and nodded obediently.
After breakfast, Jiang Ziyu administered an acupuncture treatment to Di Mingjue, and then to Yuze. Seeing the red rash on his body gradually fade, Jiang Ziyu's suspended heart finally settled.
...
During the research and development of the new product, all departments of the company were in a state of busyness and tension.
Shen Lin went to the development team as per Di Mingjue's instructions.
As the door opened, a wave of fragrance from inside greeted him. Shen Lin lowered his head, tidying his dust-proof suit.
"Assistant Shen!" Li Tao, the team leader of the development group, walked over upon hearing him.
Shen Lin looked at the bottles and jars on the machine stand. "Are there any finished products?"
"President Di wants to see them?" Li Tao asked.
Shen Lin nodded.
They had been researching for some time. All processes needed to be foolproof to ensure the new product could be developed next quarter.
Li Tao glanced back at the employees busy behind him and shook his head with a troubled expression. "It might take another day."
All the employees in the research and development lab were immersed in their work. Shen Lin could only nod. "Contact me when there are finished products, and I'll come to collect them."
"Certainly, certainly. Once there are finished products, I'll personally deliver them to President Di." Li Tao bowed, walking Shen Lin towards the exit.
Within the company, Shen Lin's position was akin to being second to none, above thousands. When department heads liaised with him on work, no one dared to disrespect him.
Emerging from the development group, Shen Lin drove back to the company.
Standing at the elevator door, waiting for it, he heard a commotion at the front desk.
"I'm sorry, you cannot go up without an appointment."
"I am Di Mingjue's cousin. Inform him that I am here at the company."
The receptionist was in a difficult position and was hesitant to make the call.
Regardless of who it was, without a prior appointment, they could not see Di Mingjue.
"What's the matter with you? I told you to make a call, why are you dawdling? I think you want to lose your job!"
The man's shouting echoed through the lobby, and all eyes in the vicinity turned to him.
Shen Lin abandoned the elevator that had just arrived and turned towards the front desk.
"Hey, you're here just in time. Tell him who I am."
Shen Lin looked at his arm being held and then looked up at the receptionist who was seeking his help. "Mr. Di, please calm down. She is only following President Di's instructions and dares not casually call the president's office."
"Hmph, open your eyes and see clearly. I am Di Mingjue's cousin. If this happens again, I will definitely get you fired!" Di Minghao's ferocious face warned the front desk staff.
The front desk staff quickly nodded in response.
Seeing his arrogant demeanor, Shen Lin greatly disliked him.
Di Minghao owned his own small company and often used the Emperor Grand Group as his backing in the business world to secure project collaborations. Because of this, his reputation was also very bad. Some people, after being deceived, were afraid of being targeted by Emperor Grand Group and dared not offend him easily.
