This time, Li Yusha was completely stunned, and even Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying found it hard to believe, both exclaiming in unison, "Designed by Archen?"
"This design is too stunning, isn't it?" Song Qiaoying praised repeatedly, "It's even better than the designs by our own jewelry designers. The shape, the creativity... truly, people in love are different!"
They didn't expect Si Yechen to have such a romantic side. Li Yuanfu smiled and said, "Archen is thoughtful. He designed it so uniquely. Yanyan, have you ever given Archen anything in return?"
Upon hearing this, Qingyan realized that she indeed hadn't. From the time they met until now, it had always been Si Yechen unilaterally giving. She seemed to have never reciprocated or expressed her gratitude.
"Look, Sire Grandfather gave you a necklace of great significance, and Archen personally designed a bracelet for you. When you have time, you should think about giving them something in return..." Li Yuanfu maintained his smiling demeanor.
"You're exaggerating, Uncle." Si Yechen didn't want the girl next to him to feel pressured; instead, he sincerely said, "Yanyan is already the best gift that the heavens have given our Si family. I only want her, and I don't need anything else."
Upon hearing these words, Qingyan's gaze fell on him, and he happened to look back at her. The tender and affectionate expression in his eyes made Qingyan unable to withstand it, and she subconsciously averted her gaze.
"Archen's words are so sweet." Song Qiaoying smiled contentedly, "With such eloquence and being tall and handsome, Yanyan, you must hold on to him. I can tell that Archen will be a good husband in the future."
Qingyan: ...
"Thank you, Aunt, for your praise."
Li Yusha couldn't find words to describe her current emotions anymore! She had reached the last step of the staircase and could finally leave this spiral staircase and no longer have to listen to their conversation...
However, her feet seemed to be nailed in place, and she couldn't move no matter what!
Archen had actually designed a bracelet for Qingyan and said such sweet words!
He, who was usually cold and reserved, could utter such words, indicating the depth of his feelings for Qingyan!
It had only been a few days, but his affection for Qingyan had already reached such a level!
"Miss Yusha..." Zhang Mama reached out to support her and said, "Let's go change into some dry clothes. Don't catch a cold."
Li Yusha's eyes held jealousy and tears. She was unwilling because she was the one who had known Si Yechen first. If Qingyan hadn't come back, everything would belong to her!
The position of the Li family's young miss and the position of Mrs. Si belonged to her alone!
Why, why was heaven so unfair!
Why give her the highest starting point, only to push her off the cliff mercilessly...
Though deeply frustrated, she subconsciously picked a sexy nightgown, intending to wear it for Si Yechen.
Downstairs, Si Yechen had already left, and only Li Yuanfu, Song Qiaoying, Qingyan, and Aunt Lan remained in the living room.
With a glance at them, Li Yusha didn't go downstairs and quietly hid by the stairs, eavesdropping.
"I heard about the canteen situation from the company's people. I didn't expect Liu Guang to be so despicable, utterly lacking any moral integrity! He actually made the employees consume so many random additives for a whole year," Li Yuanfu said indignantly. "Fortunately, Yanyan discovered it; otherwise, the employees would have suffered even more, and the company would have incurred significant losses!"
Sitting on the couch, Song Qiaoying was also hearing about this for the first time. "That's so heartless! Thankfully, Yanyan is capable. But Yanyan, where did you learn all this professional knowledge from?"
She's amazing!
How does she know which additives to use to make certain foods?!
Today, I heard from the company's people that she casually and confidently exposed all the "conspiracies" in the canteen, leaving the on-site employees in awe...
"I read it online," Qingyan said in a casual tone, as if these were insignificant matters.
"I can't believe there are such people in the world. Charging the employees nine yuan for meals while providing them with such lousy food," Song Qiaoying couldn't help but ask, "They say he's related to Hu Linqian?"
"Yes," Qingyan replied calmly.
"What does Hu Linqian say about this?"
"He's pleading for mercy."
"Pleading for mercy? Can you believe he has the audacity to help Liu Guang beg for mercy?" Song Qiaoying's anger was apparent. "In my opinion, he's probably involved in this, either profiting from it or covering up for Liu Guang, turning a blind eye."
Otherwise, how could Liu Guang dare to cause chaos in the Li family's territory?
There must be someone protecting him!"Fortunately, Miss Qingyan is gone; otherwise, we wouldn't have known about so many problems in the company!" Aunt Lan couldn't help but say, "Miss Qingyan is really amazing. She has only been here for a few days and has already exposed two people!"
These two individuals were both major troublemakers in the company, and this discovery undoubtedly saved the company a lot of money.
"Yanyan, you're only eighteen years old and have no prior experience managing a company, but this time you managed to organize the company so well, with a perfect balance of firmness and gentleness. Your father and I are truly relieved and happy. You've saved us a lot of worry, and your brother too," Song Qiaoying said with relief.
I wonder why those people from the Lu family don't know how to appreciate her! She's such an outstanding child...
One can only say that they have a screw loose in their heads.
"Yanyan has been tired all day. Let her go upstairs and take a bath, have some rest," Li Yuanfu knew the child was exhausted. Managing a company, regardless of its size, always involved many trivial matters.
"Yes, go take a bath and relax," Song Qiaoying showed a loving smile, "Mom will bring you some late-night snacks later."
"I'm not hungry."
"The chef is already preparing food. Have a little something to eat," Song Qiaoying didn't know if Yanyan had eaten enough since she went on dates with Si Yechen every day. She was afraid Yanyan would be reserved in front of Si Yechen and not eat much.
"Then I'll go upstairs first." Qingyan didn't refuse her mother's kind offer.
Li Yusha heard that she was going upstairs and quickly hid.
After Qingyan closed her room door, Li Yusha came out and heard Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying still praising Qingyan downstairs.
"This child is really outstanding. She's a natural talent for doing business. We must nurture and cultivate her," Li Yuanfu said.
"Cultivate her for what! She's still young. Don't even think about burdening her with other subsidiary companies!" Song Qiaoying felt heartache and scolded him.
"I had that in mind."
"One company is enough for her to handle. If her college entrance exam results come out and she chooses to go to school, you mustn't let her manage this small, rundown company anymore!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my wife. No matter what Yanyan chooses, I will support and encourage her!"
"That's more like it."
"But the Li family's assets will definitely be given to her in the future. If she doesn't want to manage them, she can hire someone else... Of course, that's all talk for later."
...
Li Yusha heard their plans and clenched her nails tightly into her palms.
Even if Qingyan was their biological daughter, she was just a woman. Why should she be entitled to the Li family's assets?
