Chapter 8 It's Just an Equivalent Exchange
When Father Sheng saw An Yan coming, he smiled and said, "Yan Yan, come and sit down. It's just in time for the family to have a meal."

Then he turned to Mrs. Sheng next to him and said, "Go and ask the kitchen to add some of Yanyan's favorite dishes."

Mrs. Sheng glanced at An Yan, stood up and walked towards the kitchen seemingly dissatisfied.

After An Yan sat down, she spoke directly.

"Uncle, about HMP..."

Before she finished speaking, Father Sheng could roughly guess what she was going to say, "Yanyan, since you have gone home, let's not talk about business. You can call Hongchu and ask Hongchu to go home for dinner."

It was obvious that Father Sheng was rejecting her tactfully.

An Yan looked at Sheng Yanchen who was sitting leisurely on the side. He was leaning on the sofa and looking at several project books comfortably without looking at them seriously. After all, the ones that were finally delivered to him were all optimized.

Sensing An Yan's gaze, Sheng Yanchen looked over and she immediately avoided it.

The corners of Sheng Yanchen's lips raised, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

Seeing that Father Sheng was a little surprised by his words, Sheng Yanchen smiled and said, "I happened to meet my sister-in-law when we were socializing last night."

Father Sheng frowned and said, "Yanyan, you are a young girl. You should not deal with outside investors. If you want Hongchu to handle anything, don't get involved."

An Yan nodded and could only agree, glancing at Sheng Yanchen displeased.

I cursed in my heart: Bastard!Sanctimonious beast!
It seemed that there was no chance to mention the company's affairs anymore. An Yan got up and went out to get some fresh air, and dialed Sheng Hongchu's number.

But Sheng Hongchu never liked answering An Yan's phone calls. In desperation, An Yan could only leave a message to him, saying that it was his uncle's wish to let him go home for a meal.

Sheng Hongchu had no intention of replying to the message, so An Yan had to call again. After calling several times, the call was connected.

"I'm very busy. We'll talk about it later." Sheng Hongchu said perfunctorily and hung up the phone.

An Yan put away her phone reluctantly and was about to turn around and go back to the house when she saw Sheng Yanchen standing at the door with one hand in his pocket, tall and straight, with a lazy expression.

An Yan ignored him and entered the room.

As they passed each other, Sheng Yanchen said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have anything to say?"

"No." An Yan entered the room coldly.

In order to get Professor Mance's contact information, I was teased by him. Now if I mention the HMP project to him again, I don't have to think about it. Sheng Yanchen will definitely make things difficult in every possible way.

It's better not to say anything than to do this.

She didn't want to get involved in the fight between him and the Sheng Hongchu brothers.

After entering the house, Mrs. Sheng stood at the door of the kitchen and asked her to help in a dissatisfied tone.

"Is Hongchu back?"

An Yan said, "He is still busy and may not come back for dinner."

Mrs. Sheng suddenly became angry and reprimanded her directly, "Hongchu is worried about the company's affairs every day. Don't you know how to help him share his worries? Even if you can't do anything well, your father will spend his whole life on the HMP project." I don’t understand, so I advise you to give up as soon as possible and don’t mention it again, and think more about the overall situation, so as not to end up setting yourself on fire and hurting the company.”

After hearing these words, An Yan did not respond.

Seeing Sheng Yanchen's leisurely and lazy look outside the door, the company was thanks to him this time. Even if she felt disgusted with him, she could only endure it.

Mrs. Sheng continued: "What did you say to that Sheng Yanchen just now? You two have a personal relationship?"

"Aunt, I have no friendship with him." An Yan didn't want to listen to Mrs. Sheng anymore, rolled up her sleeves and went to help her aunt with the ribs.

She didn't mind getting the oil from the pork ribs. She washed them skillfully and marinated them.

Seeing this, Mrs. Sheng said nothing and turned around and left.

An Yan blanched the ribs, then added simple ginger ingredients to stew them, all in one go.

An Yan, who was concentrating on cooking the soup, smelled a faint scent of perfume and thought it was the aunt who was cooking. The scent was getting closer and closer. She suddenly remembered something and turned around, looking at the other party alertly.

Sheng Yanchen saw the nervous look on her face and thought it was funny, "Are you so afraid of me?" Even though he was well-dressed, he still looked ruthless when joking. An Yan didn't want to say more to him and was in a hurry to go out.

Sheng Yanchen suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, did you find my cuffs last night?"

An Yan paused and said speechlessly: "No! This is the Sheng family, be careful what you say!"

Sheng Yanchen smiled and leaned against the wall, looking at An Yan wearing an apron and making soup, virtuous and dignified.

But in front of others, she always had a good temper, so why was she so indifferent to him?

Sheng Yanchen thought carefully, and asked closer, "This is my home, why should I be careful what I say? I went to your house last night to look for cuffs. My sister-in-law's bed is soft and comfortable..."

An Yan glared at the man in front of her angrily, gritted her teeth and shouted his name: "Sheng Yanchen!"

Sheng Yanchen's face was full of bad thoughts, "Sister-in-law, I'm just hungry and want to find something to eat. Is there anything to eat?"

An Yan was speechless and angry, "Look for it in the refrigerator!"

She didn't want to be in the kitchen for a second.

"The fruit plate that sister-in-law just cut is good."

"Why don't you give me a taste?"

He said with a smile and she glared in response.

"Sister-in-law, you're not so stingy, are you?"

An Yan was too lazy to quarrel with him in the kitchen. Mrs. Sheng had just criticized her when she saw them talking. If she saw the two of them quarreling in the kitchen, she would probably reprimand her even more.

He picked up the fruit plate, took a few fruit forks and put them on the plate angrily, turned around and held them to him.

Sheng Yanchen picked up a fork and ate a piece. It was sweet and delicious. Each piece of fruit was cut into the same shape and thickness. This knife skill was indeed very good.

He didn't take it over, but ate a few pieces on his own, quite satisfied.

Then he put down his fork and smiled.

"It tastes good, thank you, sister-in-law."

An Yan was so angry that she put down the fruit plate, turned around and strode out of the kitchen.

Until the end, Sheng Hongchu did not come back.

In the company's current crisis, Sheng Hongchu tried every method, but it didn't work at all. He still relied on Sheng Yanchen's help.

Sheng Hongchu always regarded himself as aloof and looked down on his younger brother Sheng Yanchen, so of course he would not come back to eat at the same table with him.

Before leaving, An Yan hesitated full of thoughts. Father Sheng noticed her difficulty and sighed.

"Yanyan, it's not that my uncle won't help you, the company is in a very difficult situation now, otherwise how could I be willing to stop your father's hard work."

An Yan has always been sensible. Seeing Sheng's father's rejection and embarrassment, she can only understand him.

Father Sheng's tone softened, "Before, you said that you wanted to contact international experts to help Nannan with her medical treatment. I have always been concerned about this. Nannan is my granddaughter, and our Sheng family will definitely not ignore it."

An Yan was very grateful after hearing this, "Uncle, please, I will obey whatever the company arranges for the project."

Father Sheng nodded, "There is still a sum of money that has not been recovered from City Z. If you can do something about it..."

Anyan was pleasantly surprised, but City Z was on the outskirts of the city, its location was remote and its economy and transportation were underdeveloped. Most of the company's accounts there were bad debts.

However, Father Sheng finally let go. This was also an opportunity for her, so of course she couldn't let it go.

"Uncle, I want to try it!"
