“I haven’t had it in a long time. I’ll make it tomorrow,” Su Xiu said.
“Do you have time?”
“Yes, it’s not difficult to make sweet soup. You can cook a big pot at once.”
“Alright then…”
“Big sister, the mandarin fish is ready,” Su Qing called out, standing near the steamer.
Su Wen and Su Xiu worked together efficiently. One heated the oil while the other poured the sauce. Soon, a delicious steamed mandarin fish was ready.
“Go and see if your brother-in-law’s friend is here,” Su Wen instructed.
Just as she finished speaking, her little sister skipped in and stood at the kitchen door, shouting, “Our guests are here!”
Liu Chun and Liu Qiang stood behind her, craning their necks to look inside.
“Sister Su Wen, you’re cooking!” Liu Qiang exclaimed, his voice full of excitement. He was envious of his big boss. Seeing so many beautiful sisters in the Su family, who wouldn’t be?
“My third sister is the head chef, and I’m the a.s.sistant chef,” Su Wen explained. “This is my second sister, Su Qing, and my third sister, Su Xiu.”
Before Su Wen could finish, Liu Qiang eagerly introduced himself. “h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo, I’m Liu Qiang, Brother Chun’s good friend. I’m from the capital and still single. None of you have a partner, right? Think about me… Oh!”
Before he could continue, Liu Chun dragged him away.
“You want to be the big boss’s brother-in-law? Keep dreaming,” Liu Chun scolded. “I don’t even have a chance! Stop daydreaming.”
“How am I daydreaming? Brother Chun, you don’t have a chance, but maybe I do.”
Liu Chun looked him over with disdain. “Then you need to lose at least 40 pounds.”
Liu Qiang felt wronged. “Look closely. My facial features are quite good, and I have a decent temperament.”
“I can’t tell. All I see is a round little fatty,” Liu Chun retorted with a smile.
“Do I have no chance?”
“None,” Liu Chun said firmly. “Hengyang is very protective of his family. Even his sisters-in-law are treated like his own sisters. Do you think you can marry one of Hengyang’s sisters? If you’re not afraid of Hengyang breaking your legs, go ahead and try.”
Liu Qiang shivered. “Forget it! I still have many female friends in the capital. I can’t disappoint them.”
Liu Chun was speechless. This kid was something. Whoever’s sister married him would be out of luck.
In the kitchen, Su Qing and Su Xiu were no longer introverted and restrained. They didn’t feel embarra.s.sed by the jokes. They knew Liu Qiang was just kidding, so they didn’t take it seriously.
Su Wen was secretly pleased. Great! They had made great progress. Work was indeed the best way to train people. She was already looking forward to Su Xiu and Su Qing holding up their own. Then she could blissfully enjoy life as a carefree and contented woman.
In the living room, Zhou Hengyang was entertaining Pan Yi and the others. There were also two bespectacled old men in their sixties. Though thin, they were energetic. These two were the heads of the Changhe R&D Center. During Zhou Hengyang’s absence, they had supported the company.
Without Zhou Hengyang, no one would claim the R&D centre was number one. Everyone had been so anxious in his absence that they were losing their hair from stress.
