Feast for Shengsheng

Su Zhenzhen smiled calmly, showing no impatience or anxiety.

“President Zhou is a straightforward person. But I can’t guarantee that Grandpa will agree.” Su Zhenzhen also spoke frankly.

Zhou Jingyan was direct, so Su Zhenzhen didn't need to hide anything.

Zhou Jingyan watched silently.

“However, I do have something I'd like Mr. Zhou to help me with. If Grandpa is willing, then I'll come back and make my request to Mr. Zhou.” Su Zhenzhen was never impeccable when it came to knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

Therefore, it's hard to dislike Su Zhenzhen.

Zhou Jingyan was no exception.

Zhou Jingyan just looked at it and said, "Okay."

Su Zhenzhen nodded before leading Zhou Jingyan toward the Qian family's house.

He Chen followed behind.

The housekeeper had tried to stop them before, but this time Su Zhenzhen brought people in, so the housekeeper naturally didn't stop them anymore.

This clearly tells Zhou Jingyan that Su Zhenzhen's status in the Qian family is roughly different.

“After Grandpa retired from his life of crime, he mostly stays at home growing flowers and raising birds, and rarely goes out.” Su Zhenzhen took the initiative to start a conversation with Zhou Jingyan.

Zhou Jingyan listened without responding.

Su Zhenzhen didn't mind.

“Grandpa liked the traditional Chinese style, so he built this house separately. It’s about thirty or forty years old. When Grandma was still alive, she liked it very much too.”

"They have many memories here, and they had a very good relationship. Back then, Grandpa was working outside, tailoring cheongsams, but he missed seeing Grandma one last time, so he retired from the business."

Su Zhenzhen gave a brief explanation.

Mr. Qian loves her dearly, and Su Zhenzhen won't use him as a tool to exploit him.

So everything still depends on Mr. Qian's willingness.

She looked at Zhou Jingyan with a composed attitude: "Therefore, I cannot guarantee it. I can only help Mr. Zhou make an introduction."

Zhou Jingyan was somewhat surprised.

After all, a normal person would have already made a request at this point.

On the contrary, Su Zhenzhen explained the cause and effect clearly.

"How did you meet Mr. Qian?" Zhou Jingyan asked Su Zhenzhen.

“I helped Grandma by accident, so we’ve kept in touch ever since.” Su Zhenzhen didn’t go into details.

Zhou Jingyan was a smart man, so he didn't ask any further questions.

The two had already reached the front hall.

“Grandpa is inside,” Su Zhenzhen said quietly.

Then Su Zhenzhen took the initiative to walk towards the front hall: "Grandpa, I'm here."

"You brat." Old Qian looked at Su Zhenzhen with annoyance.

Naturally, he also noticed Zhou Jingyan: "Do you know the Zhou family's kid?"

In terms of seniority, Mr. Qian is of Zhou Jingyan's grandfather's generation, so it's normal for him to speak like that.

"I guess we know each other, since we went to the same school. President Zhou is quite a prominent figure," Su Zhenzhen snorted.

"I can't understand a single word you young people are saying," Old Qian waved his hand, clearly showing his disinterest.

But the next moment, he looked at Zhou Jingyan.

"Mr. Zhou, I've already said what I meant. I won't be making cheongsams anymore. Even if you know Zhenzhen and she brings you in, it won't make a difference." Old Mr. Qian's refusal was very direct.

Su Zhenzhen didn't offer a single word of help.

Zhou Jingyan stood there and said, “I know Mr. Qian doesn’t need money. But my mother really loves the cheongsams made by Mr. Qian the most. So I wanted to give her a cheongsam made by Mr. Qian for her birthday. So Mr. Qian, you may make a request. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to fulfill it.”

This is tantamount to handing the initiative over to Qian Xuesen.

Su Zhenzhen was actually a little nervous.

She was afraid that if Mr. Qian was forced to agree to Zhou Jingyan's request, she would feel guilty.

Yesterday's phone call was just her way of asking Mr. Qian to create an opportunity for them to meet again.

There was no real intention to have Mr. Qian make a cheongsam for Zhou Jingyan.

So Su Zhenzhen looked at Old Qian cautiously and shook her head.

Mr. Qian seemed not to have seen it and did not respond to Su Zhenzhen.

Zhou Jingyan's words, on the contrary, made him fall into deep thought.

Zhou Jingyan also stood politely in place, patiently waiting for Mr. Qian's reply.

It wasn't until Mr. Qian looked at Zhou Jingyan that this continued.

"You are a filial son," Old Qian nodded.

Zhou Jingyan smiled, said nothing, and remained neither humble nor arrogant.

These words made Su Zhenzhen very nervous.

Old Qian had already finished speaking: "Seeing how filial you are, I agree to make a cheongsam for your mother. But you have to come and pick it up in person, and give me your mother's measurements and requirements. As for this condition, you can write an IOU, and I'll ask you for it when I think of it."

“That’s natural.” Zhou Jingyan nodded in agreement.

Then Mr. Qian asked Mr. Chen to notify the lawyer to come and draft the agreement.

After the lawyer drafted the document, he asked the lawyer to show it to Zhou Jingyan.

"If there are no problems, Mr. Zhou, please sign. The contract for the cheongsam is also here; you can take a look as well," Mr. Qian said calmly.

He Chen stepped forward and examined the agreement.

The agreement is not complicated. There are no hidden traps.

This condition was proposed by Zhou Jingyan himself, so he quickly signed to confirm it.

The agreement was made in triplicate: one copy was given to Zhou Jingyan, one copy was given to the lawyer for filing, and the third copy was kept by Mr. Qian.

Soon, they also signed a cheongsam agreement.

When Mr. Qian signed and stamped his name, he was calm and composed.

Instead, it was Su Zhenzhen who was unsettled the whole time.

She kept looking at Old Qian, leaving her no room to stop him.

“Alright. I have your mother’s measurements. Since Mr. Zhou hasn’t specified anything, I’ll proceed according to my usual practice. The materials the Qian family can obtain are all high-quality, so you don’t need to worry.” Old Master Qian continued.

Then he dismissed him, saying, "Once the cheongsam is ready, I will naturally notify Mr. Zhou to come and pick it up. If there's nothing else, please go back, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jingyan nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Qian. I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, Zhou Jingyan turned and walked towards the door.

Su Zhenzhen didn't chase after them.

She knew very well that Zhou Jingyan was the kind of person who would do what he said.

Therefore, she was not worried that Zhou Jingyan would go back on his word.

Besides, Zhou Jingyan has countless ways to find her, which are much easier than her finding Zhou Jingyan.

The most important thing now is to find out exactly what Qian Lao wants to do.

So as soon as Zhou Jingyan left, Su Zhenzhen looked at Old Qian.

"Grandpa, what are you doing? Why did you agree to Zhou Jingyan's request? We agreed that we were just creating an opportunity to meet; you didn't need to agree."

Su Zhenzhen was genuinely anxious and looked at Old Qian with disapproval.

She knew better than anyone why Qian Lao stopped making cheongsams.

but now--

On the contrary, Old Qian looked at Su Zhenzhen with a smile. Unlike his indifferent attitude when facing Zhou Jingyan, Old Qian was much more enthusiastic now.

"You brat, I haven't made a cheongsam in years, my hands are itching."

"Besides, I have my own ideas about this. As for you, do whatever you want. The guarantee I asked Zhou Jingyan for will ultimately protect you."

“You are my wife’s precious darling, how could Grandpa ignore you?”

"Don't worry about Grandpa, Grandpa knows what he's doing."
