Chapter 842: Throw Money at It!
In an extremely peculiar family atmosphere, Yang Jingjing finally finished cooking, then had Zhang Dajiang bring everything to the dining table.
Eight dishes and one soup, you could tell she really put in a lot of effort for Zhong Junkun, more than she ever did during the New Year.
And after this period of easing, the scent of gunpowder in the house had finally faded a lot. Yang Jingjing kicked Zhang Dajiang, who finished setting the table, "Why don't you hurry and call your daughter out for dinner?"
Zhang Dajiang gave a sheepish smile and had to go to Zhang Qinyao's bedroom door, knock on it, and call Zhang Qinyao and Jiang Feng out.
When Zhong Junkun saw Zhang Qinyao already with a smile on her face, shyly following beside Jiang Feng, like a little bird, her cheeks constantly aflush, his heart was about to explode with jealousy!
What exactly were those two doing in the room just now?
Why is Zhang Qinyao's face so red? Like she's eaten honey?
Could it be that this guy Jiang dared to push her down in the room?!
This bastard is simply asking for it!!
"Xiao Feng, sit wherever you like, sorry for the poor hospitality, here are your chopsticks."
Zhang Dajiang chuckled drily as he handed a pair of chopsticks to Jiang Feng, a minor way of making amends, after all, the atmosphere at the dinner table couldn't be too stiff.
Jiang Feng nodded, showing he didn't mind, while Zhang Qinyao directly pulled Jiang Feng to sit beside her.
"Is your butt glued to the chair? Hurry up and serve the rice, will you?"
Yang Jingjing gave Zhang Qinyao a glare. How could she still dare to cozy up to Jiang Feng at this time? Wasn't she flaunting her affection in front of Zhong Junkun?
"No, my butt's glued to Brother Feng." Zhang Qinyao retorted without backing down.
"You!" Yang Jingjing was fuming. What kind of talk is that, her daughter was speaking such ambiguous words without shame!
On the side, Zhong Junkun was almost steaming green; if he were a cartoon character, he'd be a green turtle!
Glued to Jiang Feng, is it Avalokiteshvara sitting on the lotus?
His fist clenched with a crunching sound!
"Stop calling the kid, I'll go!"
Zhang Dajiang, seeing the situation, quickly played the mediator role again and took up a bowl to serve the rice.
"Little Zhong, want to drink some alcohol? Auntie doesn't have anything like Jadescent Nectar at home, but I do have a bottle of Moutai Aged gifted by a friend earlier; I wonder if it suits your taste," Yang Jingjing earnestly said to Zhong Junkun.
"Auntie, I drove here, so I won't drink." Zhong Junkun forced a smile, holding back his anger.
"Oh right, Auntie nearly forgot, but it's okay, you can sober up before you leave. If you're tired in the afternoon, just take a nap in Yaoyao's bed, you should be fine when you wake up, or you can even stay overnight," Yang Jingjing suggested considerately.
"Mom!" Zhang Qinyao immediately glared, "I have a cleanliness obsession, not just anyone can enter my room!"
"Weren't you just letting anyone in earlier? It's my house, after all, you don't live here!"
Yang Jingjing coldly glanced at Jiang Feng, then said to Zhang Qinyao.
Zhong Junkun immediately understood and smiled at Yang Jingjing, "In that case, I'll oblige. But today Yaoyao is the birthday girl, let's do what Yaoyao prefers; whatever Yaoyao likes to drink, I'll accompany her."
"I'll drink nothing, don't think too much of yourself!"
Zhang Qinyao huffed coldly after saying that, but instead grabbed a bottle of Jiaduobao and placed it in front of Jiang Feng.
Zhong Junkun suddenly felt humiliated, gritting his teeth.
However, his eyes turned, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Yaoyao, I heard that though you're still studying, you've already started a small company off-campus with colleagues and it's doing quite well, right?"
"It's a company started by my girlfriends, I'm just helping there." Zhang Qinyao corrected him.
She didn't want to take credit for Nangong Qingcheng and Bai Zhiqing's achievements.
"That also counts as a partnership, after all, she's already joined and has a certain say in it too," Yang Jingjing quickly added.
Before, she had bragged endlessly to attract Zhong Junkun's attention to her daughter, she wouldn't let Zhang Qinyao's words undermine that now.
"Not bad, Yaoyao, you're just a freshman, and you're already managing a business, that's admirable."
Zhong Junkun chimed in, "But, even if you're partnering with friends, if you're not the one calling the shots, aren't you basically working for someone else, right?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Qinyao furrowed her brows, asked lightly.
"Hehe, don't get me wrong, Yaoyao. Though this is our first meeting, your looks... and your abilities, I've seen these first-hand, so I think working for someone else is beneath you."
Zhong Junkun said solemnly, "Since today is your birthday, I've carefully prepared a birthday gift for you—"
At this point, Zhong Junkun stood up, went back to the sofa, and took something out from a small pouch he had with him.
Yang Jingjing's eyes lit up at the sight, but she still feigned modesty, "Oh my, Little Zhong, why be so formal, your coming today is enough to make Auntie happy, no need for gifts, it's too much!"
"Auntie, you're joking, I can't come empty-handed like some people, right?"
Zhong Junkun said this, proudly glancing at Jiang Feng, clearly indicating Jiang Feng.
Zhang Qinyao started feeling uncomfortable, not expecting Zhong Junkun to pull such a stunt, and Jiang Feng actually thought of buying her a gift, she just insisted not to!
Seeing Zhong Junkun return to the dining table, he placed a certificate on the table, beaming, "Yaoyao, this small gift is a gesture of my sincere regards, hope you'll like it!"
"Little Zhong, what is this?" Yang Jingjing appeared more thrilled and eager than anyone, quickly picking up the certificate to ask.
"Aunt Yang, I came in a rush this time, and didn't have time to prepare a proper gift; as they say, 'a small gift carries great affection'—Our Zhong family recently acquired a plot at a prime location in Binhe, this is the property deed for one of the shops there..."
Zhong Junkun said with false modesty, "Though it's just one shop, the property area is about 1-200 square meters, I'd like to gift this shop to Yaoyao, she can do whatever she pleases with it, worst case, even being a landlady is better than being a high-level employee under someone else, right?"
Yang Jingjing was utterly stunned on hearing this!
What does it mean to be generous?
This is what it means to be generous!!!
The extent of Zhong Junkun's largesse was beyond her imagination!
A whole shop right away!
This clearly showed, he was genuinely satisfied with her daughter, and was ready to use money to win her over!!
