Chapter 1795: Side Story for the Juniors (49): Dog Food, Showing Goodwill, Expired Application
Jiang Ruan later learned from Yan Chi that the Yan Family already knew about her identity, so after the Fu Family returned to Beijing, she specially selected some gifts and formally went to visit the Yan Family.
This time, not only as Yan Chi’s girlfriend but also representing the Si Family and her father.
Last time she came in a hurry, there were many people in the Yan Family, and as soon as she arrived, she sat down to eat. This time, she was well-prepared and even helped Qiao Aiyun cook in the kitchen, personally cooking a few dishes herself.
Qiao Aiyun didn’t expect to enjoy such authentic Huaiyang cuisine at home and asked her how she learned to cook.
"My mom used to stay in Pingjiang, and I learned from her. I know you are from Wusu, which shares a cuisine style with Pingjiang, but I haven’t cooked in a long time, so I’m not sure if it tastes good." Jiang Ruan certainly wanted to please Yan Chi’s parents.
"It’s quite good, you must have gone to a lot of trouble, coming to our home and still having to cook."
"If you like it, I can come again to cook for you when I have time." Jiang Ruan was naturally likeable, understanding of boundaries, knew when to advance or retreat, and was beautiful, generous, and considerate to elders. Most importantly, she was an excellent cook.
Even Yang Wangchuan found it hard to give her the cold shoulder when enjoying her cooking.
Jiang Ruan visited the Yan Family a few more times, but after New Year’s Day, it quickly became time for the school finals. She needed to write a thesis and prepare for exams, so she didn’t have much time or energy to go into the city.
However, Qiao Aiyun kept her in mind, afraid she wasn’t eating well in the canteen, and would often make delicious dishes for Yan Chi to bring to her. Even her roommates got to share in the treats.
Most importantly, Yan Chi knew Jiang Ruan needed to write her thesis and find information, so he would organize the materials in advance, almost writing the thesis for her, and even helped her collect and organize the exam review materials.
Her roommates were constantly fed PDA, and one of them even had a significant other, which made them all the more envious...
Boyfriends, really can’t be compared, comparing people can drive you crazy.

Jiang Ruan entered the exam preparation period, and naturally, Jiang Chengsi wouldn’t disturb her. Besides, soon the kids would be on winter break, and the end of the year is always busy.
The most leisurely might be the Huo Family; ever since Huo Qinqi transferred to a Beijing agency, he retreated to the front lines, enjoying plenty of holidays and an easy workload. Most importantly, his daughter was already on winter break at home, so every day after work, he would head straight home, enjoying a particularly comfortable life.
In the north, the cold weather means some schools might have a very long winter break. Many schools completely break after New Year’s Day.
So while Jiang Ruan was still struggling for her finals, Jiang Mutang, Qi Zhiyi, and other students studying in Beijing were already on vacation.
However, the freezing weather made them reluctant to go out.
That day, Jiang Jinsang’s family was invited to the Qi Family for dinner, as Jiang Jinsang and Qi Zeyan had collaborated to secure a good project.
Jiang Jinsang’s younger brother was still in school, busy preparing for finals and couldn’t come. Qi Lie hadn’t returned to Beijing for vacation yet, so among the juniors, only Jiang Mutang was there.
"Isn’t Zhiyi home?" Tang Wan asked as she entered the Qi Family and didn’t see their daughter.
"She went out with friends, as soon as vacation started, they’re all about going out. In this cold weather, only young people feel like going out." Ruan Mengxi invited their family of three in, noticing that Jiang Mutang was carrying two bottles of red wine, "Every time you come, you bring things, really no need."
Jiang Mutang just called her godmother and carried the things into the Qi Family. Being so familiar, he didn’t really need an invitation as he could find where the Qi Family kept the wine to store it properly.
"Mutang, just take the wine out. To celebrate your dad and I closing a big deal, it’s perfect for a celebratory drink." Qi Zeyan laughed.
"Don’t you think this deal seems a bit odd?" Jiang Jinsang frowned.
"Too smooth." Although Qi Zeyan was sometimes carefree, he was very serious and dedicated when it came to business.
With so many employees depending on him for their livelihood, he couldn’t afford any mistakes.
"I heard before that the Fu Family also wanted to bid for this project, but for some reason, they suddenly withdrew." Jiang Jinsang lightly rubbed his fingers, "Last time, I heard from the fourth brother that he had a project where the Fu Family was originally a competitor, but they also withdrew mid-way. Haven’t heard of any funding issues with them, or other problems; it’s really strange."
"Could it be that Third Master Fu is so busy dealing with his son’s marriage that he let go of a few projects, afraid he couldn’t handle both?" Qi Zeyan analyzed.
"Do you think Fu Chen thinks like you? Who he is, you should know clearly."
