Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Dai savored the treats Xu Huan had brought, looking up at her with a smile, “Delicious!”
Xu Huan smiled and nodded softly, “I’m glad you like it.”
Her gaze rested on Gu Dai with affection as she spoke, “When I came up to the company just now, I saw everyone working so diligently.”
Hearing this, Gu Dai tensed up, sitting up straight and asking with apprehension, “Grandma, how do you think I’m managing the company?”
Xu Huan replied with a smile, “I think you’re doing exceptionally well. Everyone seems very energetic, even better than when your father was in charge.”
Gu Dai, reminded of the times when Gu Zhe was still around, lowered her eyes and managed a bittersweet smile, “I’ve only learned a fraction of my father’s skills. I still have much to learn.”
Xu Huan sighed lightly, “You’re still young. You’ll undoubtedly grow to be very impressive.”
Gu Dai nodded, sensing the melancholic atmosphere and changing the subject, “Grandma, Master Zhen Chan is here at the company. Would you like to see her?”
Recently, she had shared videos about Suzhou embroidery with Wei Jia and Mao Ni, but they were still somewhat perplexed. So, Gu Dai invited Master Zhen Chan to teach them.
Xu Huan’s face lit up with excitement, “Daidai, let’s go see Zhen Chan.”
Gu Dai’s face also brightened, and she quickly agreed, “Alright.”
In the Suzhou embroidery section of Gu Group.
Master Zhen Chan was teaching with patience and focus. The young girls watched her embroidery skills intently, eagerly learning and absorbing.
Xu Huan watched this scene with a smile and nodded in approval.
Gu Dai and Xu Huan waited until the girls had finished learning before entering.
Master Zhen Chan, upon seeing Xu Huan, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, excitedly asking, “Xu Huan, is it really you?”
Xu Huan approached and took her hand, smiling, “Of course, it’s me. It’s been so many years. How have you been?”
Tears of joy slid down Zhen Chan’s cheeks, “I’ve been very well. Gu Dai mentioned you were travelling the world, I thought I wouldn’t see you this time, but here you are…”
While Zhen Chan and Xu Huan chatted, the girls surrounded Gu Dai.
Wei Jia said, “Beautiful sister, the video you gave us was really high quality. We learned a lot.”
Mao Ni nodded in agreement, “Exactly, exactly.”
Wang Wu added, “I feel my Suzhou embroidery skills have improved a lot.”
Gu Dai smiled, “Keep up the good work. Once you’re skilled enough, the company can provide you with better resources.”
The girls obediently responded, “Okay!”
After seeing Zhen Chan, Xu Huan and she talked enthusiastically, continuing their conversation until evening, reluctant to part.
Xu Huan suggested, “Why don’t you stay at my house tonight? We haven’t seen each other for so long. We can chat more this evening.”
After some hesitation and persuasion from Xu Huan, Zhen Chan agreed.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Gu Dai looked at Xu Huan and Zhen Chan in the rearview mirror and said, “When I was little, Grandma always talked about you. She said your Suzhou embroidery skills are the best in the world, unmatched by anyone. That’s why I’ve always admired you.”
Zhen Chan modestly waved her hand, “Your grandma is exaggerating. I’m not that great.”
Xu Huan immediately interjected, “I only speak the truth. If she weren’t that great, I wouldn’t praise her.”
Gu Dai nodded in agreement, “Yes, Grandma never lies. You don’t have to be modest.”
Back at the villa, seeing the chef ready to cook, Xu Huan stopped him, “I’ll cook dinner myself tonight.”
Gu Dai offered, “Grandma, let me assist you.”
Zhen Chan wanted to help too, but Gu Dai insisted, “You rest and have some fruit. Grandma and I can handle it.”
Meng Zhi, who had just returned, promptly escorted Zhen Chan to the sofa, engaging her in conversation and laughter.
Gu Dai had learned cooking from Xu Huan, so her culinary skills were exceptional. In no time, a variety of dishes filled the table, filling the house with delicious aromas..
