"Sir, the headquarters has already arranged a meeting with the CEO of SKY to continue cooperation."
Feng Tong was extremely excited that Shen Siyan could return to the capital. You know, their sir was several times more capable than them in handling affairs. When he was away, the bosses there were in great distress.
However, things were still handled in an orderly manner.
"Okay. You handle the matters here in the Shen family first. Also, don't tell the young madam."
"Yes, sir."
...
It was already 9 p.m. when they landed in the capital. Shi Wan returned to her villa and started to deal with work.
"Ms. Shi, Mr. Nian has invited you to visit him tomorrow."
A woman knocked on the study door and said respectfully.
"Okay."
Shi Wan rubbed the space between her eyebrows. She almost forgot that besides dealing with company affairs this time, she also had something promised to Mr. Nian.
She glanced at the time and suddenly wondered what Shen Siyan was doing.
But it was too late at this time.
The next day, at the Nian family's place.
It was a rare holiday, and most of the Nian family members were there.
Seeing Shi Wan coming, they all welcomed her.
"Wanwan, it's been a long time since you last came."
The speaker was Nian Yao, the second granddaughter of the old master Nian.
It was said that she was now a second lieutenant.
Shi Wan nodded. "Sister Yaoyao."
Over the years, Nian Yao had been extremely kind to her. One could say that she doted on her more than a real sister.
It was just that they couldn't see each other many times throughout the year.
"Come in quickly. I've brought you some nice things again."
"What? I'll go and see the old master first."
"It's okay. Grandpa has gone out and will be back later. After your treatment, he's so healthy that he could even go up the mountain to catch a tiger."
Shi Wan couldn't help laughing at this metaphor. Hearing that the old master was okay, she felt much more relieved.
"Eldest young master and third young master are here too?"
"Yes. They came back specially to see you. They'll have to leave again soon."
Shi Wan nodded. She knew that the military discipline was strict, so this was normal.
"Wanwan, come here for a moment."
Nian Yi said seriously.
"What's up?"
The two walked to a corner. Then Nian Yi said, "It seems that there's a traitor in the hacker alliance. There have been some military secrets leaked in the past few days. The higher - ups hope you can look into it."
"Okay."
Shi Wan's face turned cold. So someone dared to cause trouble while she was away?
They were seeking death!
After finishing the business, Nian Yi's expression softened a bit. "How long do you plan to stay in the capital this time?"
"I'm not sure yet. There's too much work piled up. I can't handle it all at once."
"Take your time. Don't overwork yourself." He raised his hand to check the time. "It's time for me to go. I'll treat you to dinner when I have time."
"Okay. Take care, Brother Nian."
"Wanwan, do you want to go out with me?"
Nian Yao came up and hooked her arm, without asking about what they had just talked about.
"Not for now. I still have to wait for Grandpa Nian. He seems to have something to tell me."
"Yes, sister. Wanwan is so busy. Don't ask her to go shopping with you."
Nian Lin, the third young master of the Nian family, came up with a big smile and hugged Nian Yao. He winked at Shi Wan.
He was the only one in the Nian family who didn't join the army. It was said that he couldn't go because of health problems. Over the years, he had founded the Nian Group by his own efforts.
"Wanwan should go out with me."
"Why?"
"Aren't you going back? Do you still want Wanwan to go with you?"
"You little rascal!"
Seeing them bickering, Shi Wan couldn't help laughing.
"Wanwan, don't listen to him. I won't go back until evening."
"Then why don't we stay with the old master first?"
"Grandpa finds us annoying. He dislikes that I'm not ladylike enough and that he's a man. I think he likes you the most."
"Who told me to be so cute?"
Nian Yao was amused by her. "You're cute? Wanwan, you have a wrong understanding of cuteness."
Shi Wan was a bit cute, but when she didn't say a word or make any move, just a single look from her could make people lose their bearings.
Those fox - like eyes were so charming. What was different was that there was also a natural coldness about her.
With these different qualities combined, one could recognize her at a glance even in a crowd. She was unique.
"Who said our Wanwan isn't cute? She's so cute. She just makes people like her."
The voice of the old master Nian came. The three of them looked over and saw the old master walking over with a smile.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa Nian."
"Wanwan has kept her promise this time."
Shi Wan was helpless. "I was just too busy before."
"By the way, Grandpa Nian, about that thing you mentioned before..."
"He's still in the hospital. He was given a critical - illness notice before, but after taking your medicine, he's much better and out of danger."
When it came to this matter, the old master Nian looked worried.
"Why don't you tell me which hospital it is? I'll go there now."
"Sure, sure, sure. I'll send someone to accompany you. There are guards there." The old master Nian said, "Yao Yao, you go with Wanwan. Don't let her be wronged."
Wanwan looked so young. Without a trustworthy person to accompany her, no one would dare to take the risk.
"Yes!"
"Grandpa, what about me?"
Nian Lin was depressed. He also wanted to go, but he didn't dare without the old master's permission.
"Is there nothing to do in the company? Go back to your company and deal with your business."
Nian Lin watched the two leaving and said helplessly, "Second sister and Wanwan are girls after all. If I went with them, at least..."
"Who can you beat? You can't beat anyone and you still want to go? Just stay here!"
Nian Lin: "..."
Well, he'd better go back to the company. He had to finish dealing with these matters so that he'd have time to entertain Shi Wan.
Recently, he seemed to have heard that a big shot was coming back in these few days. If they could get into cooperation, the Nian family's business would be guaranteed.
...
When they arrived at the hospital, since Nian Yao was with her, they didn't encounter much obstruction when entering.
The outside of the ward was full of people, old and young, men and women. They were constantly looking into the ward, but there wasn't much worry on their faces.
Instead, when they saw Nian Yao, they welcomed her happily. "Ms. Nian, why are you here too?"
"Grandpa asked me to come and see Grandpa Wu."
"I see. And who is this?"
"She's my younger sister. She's also here to see Grandpa Wu."
"Welcome then. But the old master isn't in good health, so..."
The woman's eyes kept looking at Shi Wan. How come she didn't know that the Nian family had another daughter?
They didn't look alike either.
"We know. We'll just go in and take a look."
After Shi Wan and Nian Yao went in, the old man was still conscious. There was no one else in the ward except him.
"Grandpa Wu, I'm here to see you."
"Is... is it Yaoyao?"
Nian Yao nodded.
The old man then asked, "How's the country now? Is it being bullied by anyone?"
Although the old man was conscious, his memory was a bit confused. He suffered from mild Alzheimer's disease.
Nian Yao's nose felt a bit sour. She comforted him, "It's peaceful and prosperous. No one dares to bully it. Grandpa Wu, you should get well soon."
"Wanwan, come and take a look?"
"The problem isn't serious. There's no need for surgery."
