The wicked wife is pregnant again and again, and she takes her whole family flying with her spatial

At noon, the hotel's private room had been waiting for everyone for quite some time. As the main character of the day, Yu Lian naturally had to engage in pleasantries in public.

Before long, she felt like she was going to laugh herself silly. Too much fake laughter, coupled with the crowded and poorly ventilated private room, made her head spin.

"I'm going out for some fresh air. I'll leave this place to you."

"Do you need me to come with you?"

"Need not."

By this time, several rounds of drinks had already been consumed, and Yu Lian drank a little to show her respect. Originally, He Lin hadn't intended to come here and exchange pleasantries with these people, given her status. However, Yu Lian remembered the significant help many local manufacturers and businesses had given them during the fight against the pandemic. Besides expressing her gratitude verbally, treating everyone to a proper meal would be a way of reciprocating their contributions.

Stepping outside, Yu Lian stood by the window, letting the cold wind blow on her. In Yuncheng in December, the temperature was already close to zero, and with the melting snow today, it was several degrees lower than usual. Soon, the crisp, cold wind helped her catch her breath.

In the few minutes she was outside getting some fresh air, the atmosphere in the private room changed several times. As soon as she opened the door, the clinking of glasses resumed, with everyone discussing contacting potential collaborators. This drinking session wasn't like usual, where one had to drink until completely drunk and passed out before going home.

Two hours into the meal, Yu Lian, as the host, politely asked, "Everyone, it seems you've all eaten enough. Are you full?"

"We've already eaten. Mr. Yu, you're too kind. We're embarrassed by your generosity."

Yu Lian nodded: "Since everyone is full, let's all go back to work. I'll see you all off."

After he said that, the scene fell silent for a moment, and some people even looked out the window in disbelief—they had finally had a sunny day after the snow stopped, and the sun was shining brightly outside.

"What's wrong? Is everyone still hungry? I'll have the waiter come and take your order."

He Lin repeated his wife's words. Yu Lian also sensed it—compared to her smiling colleague, these people were more afraid of He Lin, this man who never showed any joy.

"We're full, we're leaving now!"

One by one, everyone packed their things, got dressed, and left with their friends, colleagues, and assistants. After a long wait, everyone was gone. Yu Lian waited until Xiao Xu finished settling the bill before leaving the hotel. Xu Meng had just seen off the last guest.

"Boss, everyone has left safely."

"Alright, let's head back to the company. The company's first meal of the day is just starting at this hour."

Today is the first day of the new company's opening, and Yu Lian specially prepared a feast for everyone at noon—all seafood delivered by express refrigeration, as well as various kinds of meat. Not only were the dishes impressive, but the presentation was also impeccable. The new company has over a dozen long-time employees who came to Yuncheng from Xiangshi with Yu Lian, and everyone is eagerly anticipating the start of the business.

Bai Yun glanced at the time: "Please wait another ten minutes, everyone. We'll start the meal shortly. Please wipe your drool."

One sentence made everyone laugh.

"Mr. Bai, aren't the boss and the others having dinner at a hotel? Does she need to rush back?"

"The boss said that since it's the first day of business, we should all have a meal together."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Within half an hour of the dinner ending, Yu Lian returned to the company with her two right-hand women. As for He Lin, he was barred from entering. Although he was quite frustrated, his wife's concerns left him no reason to object—he was too famous now, and new employees weren't familiar with him; if he ate with them, they would feel pressured. His presence would only invite stares and inconvenience others during their meals; he might as well go home and eat dumplings.

No one in the Yu family is going out today. There's a meal waiting for them at home later; the guests are Xu Meng's parents.

That day, Yu Lian had already expressed her gratitude in Xu Meng's transoceanic phone call to her aunt. Since the legendary figure couldn't return, Yu Lian could only invite Xu Meng's parents to dinner, but they didn't want to eat out, finding it too much trouble. After thinking it over, she decided to invite them to her home. At first, the couple were reluctant, feeling it was just a small favor and not worth making such a fuss about, telling Yu Lian not to take it to heart. But Yu Lian wouldn't agree, and later gave them her home address, asking them to come on time so the whole family could wait for them. Only then did she manage to persuade the two elders to accept the invitation.

I thought the boss rushed back to give everyone a pep talk before dinner, saying some things to win people over, but she just said a few words: "Um... everyone, eat and drink well. I'm very sorry for keeping you from eating earlier. I think we might not be able to finish all this food, so please pack up the leftovers to take home for your families to try. We're not near the sea, so it's rare to get to eat this kind of food here."

The boss finished speaking and sat down without any airs. While everyone was eating and chatting happily, Yu Lian quietly left with Xiao Xu and Xu Meng. She briefly explained a few things to Bai Yun, who told her to go and entertain the guests without worry, while she stayed behind to take charge.

When Yu Lian returned home with her two assistants, Xu Meng's parents were already there. Mr. and Mrs. Yu were warmly welcoming the two guests who had been so helpful.

At first, Wang Meixia didn't know what had happened. She later learned that a competitor was engaging in malicious competition and trying to ruin them by spreading fake news that "Jinbu Pharmaceutical uses corpses and human flesh to make medicine." This reminded her of a very popular state-owned breakfast shop in the area a long time ago. The meat buns sold best in the morning, and people from other districts would get up before dawn and cycle for an hour just to get a taste of them.

The word spread, and eventually, the state-run breakfast shop exceeded its revenue and performance targets. The staff and manager were all smiles, and everyone received bonuses. Later, the manager of another state-run breakfast shop in the city hired someone to spread rumors, claiming that their meat-filled buns were made from sewer rats. To further frame them, they even put many bloody rat carcasses in the garbage can in the kitchen of the other breakfast shop. This was seen by many and spread like wildfire.

Those who had lived through the difficult times simply watched the spectacle, but many young people who had no memory of those times completely avoided the shop, never daring to buy their breakfast again, or even glancing at any other options. Gradually, the steamed bun shop's business collapsed, and within six months, it was completely deserted and closed down.

Rumors can be deadly; everyone knows that. So when Wang Meixia learned how much the couple had helped her and that her daughter was going to host a banquet for them, she showed them her utmost sincerity.

"Auntie, are you preparing a long table banquet?"

Looking at the setup in the courtyard, three tables were pushed together and almost completely filled with food. It was the warmest time of day, and once everyone had arrived, they all sat down and began to eat.

"Where is He Lin?"

Yu Xin said mysteriously, "Brother-in-law went to pick up a mystery guest, so just wait and see, sister."

These words sparked many guesses in Yu Lian's mind, but she still couldn't be sure.
