Seeing Yang Jingxian and the others remaining silent, Tang Xi blinked awkwardly. Was this suggestion stupid? But she couldn’t work out another way. Now both sides were very nice to her. She didn’t want to hurt any of them! She felt it was improper to call Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru Aunt and Uncle.

“Is the way of addressing them stupid?” Tang Xi blinked and looked at Yang Jingxian.

Yang Jingxian thought Tang Xi was so cute. She touched Tang Xi’s hair with a smile and shook her head, saying, “Not at all. It’s good. But it’ll be troublesome for you to address them like this. How about this? You call your dad and me Daddy and Mommy, and your father and mother Father and Mother, or Dad and Mom. Okay, that’s it. When you call Mommy, you’re calling to me; when you call mom, you’re calling to Ah Ru.”

Grandpa Xiao was always satisfied with Yang Jingxian’s proposals. So this problem was settled this way. At this time, the servants had prepared lunch, and they went to have lunch. After lunch, Tang Xi suddenly thought that she had to work overtime tonight! Thinking of this, Tang Xi felt her head begin to ache. Should she tell them she had founded her own company? They would be startled by her. She just came back from the countryside several months ago. How could she…

Seeing Tang Xi not eat much, Yang Jingxian frowned and asked her in a low voice, “Do you have any problems at school?” Why did this kid who always had a good appetite have no appetite today?

Tang Xi took a look at Yang Jingxian, pursed her lips and said, “As a matter of fact, I have something to do today, but if I go to deal with it, I can’t have dinner with you, so I feel a little guilty.”

Grandpa Xiao frowned and looked at Tang Xi, asking, “What is that?”

“Grandpa…”

Yang Jingxian looked at Tang Xi and suddenly remembered what Xiao Jing said to her this morning. She asked with a smile, “Is it your company’s affairs?”

“Her company?” Lin Ru looked at Tang Xi and her eyes had a gleam of surprise. She asked, “What company? Has Rourou begun to work in a company?”

Tang Xi looked hesitantly at Yang Jingxian, and the latter picked her favorite seafood from the dish with chopsticks and put it into her bowl, saying with a smile, “No, you know, Xixi accepted a job to shoot a perfume TV commercial. That was OLS’ Magic Butterfly TV commercial. She earned three million yuan from this job. She didn’t want to waste this money, so she asked her brother to start a company for her. Xiao Jing is busy helping her found the company. Is there something wrong with the company?”

Everyone else looked at Tang Xi in astonishment, especially Grandpa Xiao. He put down the chopsticks and looked at her, asking, “What kind of company do you want to open?”

Tang Xi said shyly, “Grandpa, my company has just been founded and hasn’t achieved anything. I’ll tell you about my company after I obtain some achievement. And I hope you can all support me.”

Grandpa Xiao laughed and said, “Good, good, it’s good to be ambitious. You’re really a worthy granddaughter of mine. I appreciate your courage. Yes, since you already have three million yuan, you should earn thirty million or even three hundred million based on it. Don’t hesitate to tell me if you have any problems. I’ll give you my full support.”

Tang Xi thanked him with a smile as she said, “I don’t want to ask you for money. Otherwise, it can’t be taken as my own success.”

Xiao Hongyi said, “It’s not easy to start a business. You have to choose the right development orientation for your company. If you have any problems, just ask us. We’re all your consultants.”

Tang Xi smiled and nodded. She then ate several mouthfuls of food and said, “Then the dinner tonight…” Can I be absent from the dinner tonight?

Grandpa Xiao laughed and said, “I’ll ask the chef to cook earlier. You can have dinner before you go to work. Then you won’t feel hungry.”

Tang Xi was speechless. “…”

The afternoon passed quickly. Although Peng Yu was still hostile to her, she didn’t take Peng Yu seriously. After school, Chen Ziyan had waited for her at the school gate. Tang Xi took Chen Ziyan into her car as she said, “I’m going back to my family’s old house. Would you like to have dinner with my family? We’ll go to my company after dinner.”

Chen Ziyan was immediately excited when she heard this. She hurriedly nodded, saying, “Sure, sure. It’s my pleasure.” Chen Ziyan threw her schoolbag aside and looked at Tang Xi, asking, “Do you work in your family’s company?”

Tang Xi smiled and said, “No, you’ll know when you get there. By the way, Ziyan, I noticed that you like painting, painting jewelry. Do you like jewelry?”

Chen Ziyan nodded and answered, “My mother liked buying me “bling bling” accessories when I was a kid, so I am more sensitive to jewelry. And then I came to be interested in painting them. Well, I actually think my paintings are not bad.”

Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, I’ve seen your paintings. They are not bad. Have you made an album of your paintings? If you have, can you show it to me?”

Chen Ziyan’s eyes lit up and she hurriedly took an album out of her bag and handed it to Tang Xi, saying, “I remember you used to draw clothes in class. I like those drawings. Do you want to be a designer? If so, we can work together. I will design jewelry and you’ll design costumes… We’ll be the genius sisters in the fashion circle!” Chen Ziyan grew increasingly excited as she imagined the bright future.

Little Six who was driving the car blinked and shook his head. Will you go nuts if you know Xiao Rou is a good friend of many international fashion masters?

Tang Xi looked at Chen Ziyan’s album and raised her eyebrows as she said, “Ziyan, have you ever thought of studying at a design institute? If you’re willing to study in a design institute, I can ask one of my friends to help you. But I have a requirement that you’ll have to sign a ten-year contract with me after you have graduated from the design institute.”

“Ten years?” Chen Ziyan frowned and asked, “Are you asking me to sell myself to you?”

Tang Xi smiled, and looked sincerely at Chen Ziyan, asking, “Will you agree?”

Chen Ziyan frowned and said, “I think I should ask my parents for their opinions. After all, no one in my family has ever worked in the design industry, so we know nothing about it. I may need to convince my parents first.”

Tang Xi nodded, saying, “Okay, tell me about your decision when you make up your mind. After all, it’s great to take your hobby as your work, right?”

Chen Ziyan nodded. “Okay, but you’ll need to tutor me in English first… hee hee…”
