Chapter 108 The Young Masters

Muchan Studio.

A chill ran through Jiang Manman's fingers as she held the phone.

When Jiang Rong brought in the documents, a chill had already seeped into her heart, and even Jiang Manman's face paled a little.

"Madam, are you alright?" Jiang Rong asked with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing." Jiang Manman snapped out of her daze. "It's a bit cold, can you make me a pot of fruit tea?"

Jiang Rong responded with a "yes," and while making fruit tea, he glanced at the untouched design draft in Jiang Manman's hand, feeling suspicious but not daring to ask any further questions.

While brewing tea, he took the initiative to start a conversation: "When I was doing a live stream this morning, Yu, whom I met, spoke in the live stream for the first time."

Jiang Manman's interest was piqued: "What did he say?"

“He just said it on the public chat: he just got a new batch of top-quality coffee beans and bird's nest, and he'll send someone over for us to try later,” Jiang Rong remarked. “It’s a small matter, but as soon as he said that, the chat exploded! Thousands of people were discussing it, saying that the top donor had given his first offline meetup to our Muchan, and many were asking what the top donor actually looked like. I said it was just a delivery of drinks, and I hadn’t met him in person, but no one believed me. To be honest, I’m actually quite curious about what he looks like too!”

Jiang Manman hummed in agreement: "Anyway, you live next door to me, so we'll definitely have a chance to meet in the future."

"Madam, you really have a lot of patience. If it were me, knowing that the top-ranking guy lived next door, I would have already climbed over the wall to see what he really looked like."

Jiang Manman smiled and said, "Having seen Yan Changye's face so often, it's hard for other men to arouse my curiosity."

“That’s true. Even if Yu is beautiful, can she surpass Chairman Yan?” Jiang Rong sighed. “Chairman Yan’s face is so stunning that anyone who looks at him will be confused. Now, the huge promotional photos in the stores have become a must-visit spot for face-obsessed people in the capital.”

"Ah."

Jiang Rong sighed again: "Speaking of President Yan's looks, Madam, do you remember the interview President Yan gave to a prestigious business magazine two years ago? It was Qixi Festival, and the host casually asked a question that wasn't on the topic..."

Jiang Manman thought for a moment and said, "I remember."

The interview took place in the VIP room of the television station. However, to protect Yan Changye's privacy, the live broadcast never showed his face.

At that time, the people at Muchan Studio, I don't know who started it, started watching the live stream of this young master's interview while eating sunflower seeds.

Yan Changye sat lazily on the sofa, and even just a side profile of him caused thousands of fans to scream.

The host asked with a smile, "Chairman Yan, congratulations on your acquisition of Huayi Electronics, which further expands the industrial chain of Yanjing Group. On a side note, you declined to attend the celebration banquet because it's Qixi Festival today and you have other plans?"

Yan Changye didn't speak, but simply extended his hand gracefully and shook the ring on his ring finger.

The host, with an envious tone and a hint of teasing, said, "So you were accompanying your wife. Chairman Yan dotes on his wife like his own life; the socialites of the capital must be extremely envious! There have always been rumors in the capital that the socialites are crazy about you. What do you think?"

Yan Changye responded with an "Oh," and said, "I will work hard to make Yanjing Group even better."

The host looked bewildered: "What necessary connection is there between the development of Yanjing Group and your being admired by socialites?"

"The status of Yanjing Group in the capital determines my status in the capital," Yan Changye said casually. "Only if my status is high enough can I protect myself."

"Shouldn't you be protecting your wife?"

Yan Changye spoke with a half-smile: "Compared to my wife, the wolves that are eyeing me are more numerous and fiercer."

The host did not laugh.

She simply nodded with a hint of sympathy: "Chairman Yan is the most perfect man I have ever met."

At that moment, the comments section erupted in an uproar! Some didn't believe it, some wanted to see a close-up, some were completely captivated by Yan Changye's sexy voice, and some discussed his perfect profile... Even the people from Mu Chan joined in the discussion for a while.

Only Jiang Manman remained silent.

In the live stream, the aloof man lowered his head, picked up his phone, and slowly tapped a few buttons with his slender, jade-like fingers.

The next moment, four words appeared on Jiang Manman's phone:

I miss my wife.

And a very casual selfie of Yan Changye—

In the selfie, the man looks down at the camera; the angle isn't ideal, but it can't hide his perfect, flawless features. His alluring eyes gaze at the lens, and his sensual lips curve lazily, making him incredibly captivating.

……

Inside the studio.

Jiang Rong interrupted her, and Jiang Manman's absent-minded state vanished completely. Seeing that she was gradually relieved, Jiang Rong stopped the chatter and considerately withdrew.

Jiang Manman snapped out of her reverie from Yan Changye's interview, lowered her head, and blacklisted the phone call that had just come from Shenghe Hospital.

Then, take a deep breath and start getting back into work mode.

Farmhouses in the suburbs of Beijing.

A group of wealthy young masters, who were completely ignorant of basic agricultural knowledge, gathered together. The eldest young masters were holding their youngest sons who were still breastfeeding, and at first glance, it looked like a scene of harmonious joy.

Jiang Che held Xie Jian in his arms, while Xie Jian was happily drinking a carton of pure milk.

As the hosts, the five young masters of the Jiang family took the initiative to warm up the atmosphere, pouring each of the eldest sons a drink:
"Brothers, don't underestimate my small farmhouse. Everything here is truly all-natural. I've bought up all the fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and ponds around here, and even built a chicken coop to raise free-range chickens. The dishes you see on this table are all made with local ingredients. You've seen plenty of good stuff, so help me make sure the taste is perfect today."

One of the young masters from a wealthy family exclaimed, "How about some drinks?"

The fifth young master of the Jiang family pointed to the little boy in the other person's arms: "You're all bringing your children along, why are you drinking alcohol? My juice is freshly picked and squeezed from the orchard, it's very nutritious!"

"Alright, alright, then juice it is." The young master of the wealthy family put the child in his arms down. "Third brother, you and your brothers go play somewhere else, let your brother have a few bites of food."

Nestled in Jiang Che's arms, Xie Jian gazed at the damp green grass in the distance, his heart pounding with desire.

"You want to go down and play too?" Jiang Che pointed to the table full of dishes. "Why don't we eat something first?"

Xie Jian had already drunk about 70% of his milk: "Uncle, I'll eat later. There are wildflowers over there, can I pick some to take home to Manman?"

"Sure, there's a basket in the corner. Use the basket to pick them."

Xie Jian got down from the ground with great interest, grabbed a small basket from the side, and excitedly ran away with his short legs.

Seeing this, the other children slid off the table and ran out with Xie Jian.

Without the children to disturb them, the group of young men at the table chatted without any restraint.

Jiang Jiawu pointed to Xie Jian in the distance and asked Jiang Che, "When did your sister have a child? Your sister is a well-known beauty in the capital. There's no way I wouldn't know about such a big event as her getting married and having a child."

“He’s not my sister’s child, but he’s very powerful, so don’t ask around.” Jiang Che put the biggest chicken leg into the small bowl prepared for Xie Jian. “As for my sister, she’s been secretly married for several years, and my brother-in-law is also very powerful, so don’t ask any more questions about him either.”
