Xu Zixi founded this company with the purpose of the "City of Hope", but it was more than just that.
It was an undisputed fact that she was the chief designer of the "City of Hope". The subsequent construction of the "City of Hope" would surely require her and her team.
Although they were only responsible for the design part, she would lead "Xicheng" to participate in the bidding meeting half a month later. On the surface, they would compete with the Zhao Group for the opportunity to cooperate with the Yan Group.
It was like a play. If the Zhao Group was the only player, the show they put on would be boring.
However, only a few people knew about this for the time being. It hadn't been made public yet, and it could be regarded as a surprise they were preparing for the Zhao Group at the bidding meeting.
Besides, within this half - month period, the schooling issue for Xuanxuan and Xuxu, the two kids, was also settled!
Yan Yincheng had chosen a kindergarten for the two little ones near the villa. Coincidentally, this kindergarten was also on the list of schools Xu Zixi had considered for the kids before. But back then, due to its distance, she had ruled it out first.
When Yan Yincheng told Xu Zixi the information about the school he had chosen for the children, this coincidence and understanding earned him a big kiss from Miss Xu. Then the two of them hid in the room for half a day. This made Lord Yan extremely happy, so he redoubled his efforts to surprise and gift the mother and children.
Tomorrow, the two kids would start school at the kindergarten! And Lord Yan had already arranged the surprise for them. As soon as they got to the kindergarten tomorrow, the two kids would receive the gifts they had been longing for!
Today, when they took the two kids out, besides meeting Fang Ruiyang under the guise of the meeting between the Pei Group and the Jiang Group, they also planned to watch a movie.
— A recently released cartoon had caught Xu Zixi's interest. It was a movie about the ocean and environmental protection. She thought that perhaps she could gain more inspiration for the "City of Hope" from it.
However, at the moment, their focus was still on the meeting between the Pei Group and the Jiang Group.
After Fang Ruiyang sat down in front of Xu Zixi, Xu Zixi opened her palm. After giving the activation command, the tiny green bean in her palm flapped its wings and flew out of the window. It landed on the windowsill of the next private room.
Then, she said to Fang Ruiyang, "When I came here today, I told Zhenzhen that I was going to meet you. She sent me some videos."
As she spoke, she operated on her phone. Soon, Fang Ruiyang's phone dinged.
Afraid that Zhao Quanjing might notice something, Fang Ruiyang had cut off contact with Huang Zhenzhen during this period. They hadn't made a single call or sent a single text message. Fang Ruiyang was filled with longing for his lover and mother.
Today, the chance to meet Xu Zixi was actually for this very reason.
After receiving the videos, he immediately picked up his phone and couldn't wait to watch them.
"Good morning! Today is Xth of X. It's a bit cold and dry in Jincheng, but the sun is nice. I made some nourishing purple rice porridge for Mom this morning. It smells really good, and Mom liked it so much that she finished it all!"
"It's 1 p.m. now. Mom is taking a nap. We had a full - body check - up this morning and used the first dose of medicine. Maybe it's the effect of the medicine, but Mom felt a bit tired after using it. She fell asleep after lunch. But don't worry. I'll closely observe Mom's reaction with the doctor."
"It's 4 p.m. now. Mom feels much better after taking a nap. The doctor advised us to go out for a walk, breathe some fresh air, and keep in a good mood, which will be very helpful for Mom's condition. Now, I'm pushing Mom to take a stroll in the park near the hospital..."
"Mom, let's make a peace sign for the camera, okay?"
In the video, Fang Ling looked a bit embarrassed and tried to avoid the camera.
"Oh, I'm an old woman. Why should I be on camera? It'll be so ugly. You young girls can take pictures."
Finally, after learning that this video might be for Fang Ruiyang, she shyly got together with Huang Zhenzhen and made a peace sign for the camera. She also stammered a reminder:
"Good boy, take good care of yourself there. Don't be so stubborn and rush into everything. Mom and Zhenzhen are all good here. You don't need to worry about us. And oh, Mom hit you last time. Mom wants to say sorry here. Mom actually knows in her heart that you're a good boy and will never compromise with that devil..."
As Fang Ruiyang watched, he first laughed, and then tears welled up in his eyes.
Before sending his mother away, in order to make Zhao Quanjing believe him, he had said something disappointing to his mother in front of her, which had made her angry and ill. He had always felt guilty about this. There were some things he couldn't tell his mother face - to - face. Fortunately, Zhenzhen was with his mother, taking good care of her and making her understand all that he had done for her.
He missed Zhenzhen very much, and he also missed his mother.
Perhaps noticing his low mood, after he finished watching the videos, Xu Zixi took the initiative to suggest, "How about we also make a little video and send it to Zhenzhen and your mother? Then they can receive treatment there without worry."
There seemed to be a ray of light in Fang Ruiyang's eyes. He nodded and said, "Okay!"
Xu Zixi turned on the camera on her phone and started filming while providing a voice - over. "Hello, Zhenzhen. Long time no see. Xuanxuan and Xuxu will start kindergarten tomorrow. We took the kids out for dinner and a movie today. Xiaoyang is here too!"
When the camera captured Yan Yincheng, his god - like appearance seemed to brighten up the whole shot. The camera shook slightly, and Xu Zixi's smiling voice came, "Brother Cheng, say hello to Zhenzhen."
Yan Yincheng faced the direction where Xu Zixi was and nodded slightly.
When facing people other than Xu Zixi, he was still as sparing of words as ever.
Hearing Mommy mention them, the two kids curiously came over, grabbed her hand, and chattered into the camera, "Aunt Zhenzhen! I'm Xuanxuan / I'm Xuxu. We really like the little schoolbags and paintbrushes you gave us!"
After learning from Xu Zixi that the two kids were going to start kindergarten, at the engagement banquet of Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng, Huang Zhenzhen gave the two kids schoolbags and painting sets from a well - known children's stationery brand, in the colors the kids liked respectively.
Finally, the camera landed on Fang Ruiyang. He said a lot to the camera, so much that by the time the conversation between the Pei Group and the Jiang Group next door had ended, he still had a lot more to say to his lover and mother.
However, he had to leave.
Reluctantly ending the topic, Fang Ruiyang got up to say goodbye with the information obtained by the "little green bean" and went back to report the situation to Zhao Quanjing. And Xu Zixi sent that video to Huang Zhenzhen.
Half an hour later, she and Yan Yincheng also left the restaurant and took the two kids to watch a movie.
