After I was forced into a family, I was in a good mood

Jiang Yan smiled softly, raised his hand to hold Xia Yining's hand and let her walk around in front of him.Xia Yining leaned against the desk, looking down at Jiang Yan.Under the light, the loneliness and helplessness on her face are more obvious, which is indeed a rare look.

She raised her hand and lightly tapped Jiang Yan's cheek a few times with her fingertips, deliberately showing a disgusted look: "If you frown a few more times, you will soon catch up with me."

Jiang Yan played around with her hand for a while before holding her back: "How did you catch up with you?"

Xia Yining paused, his expression changed slightly, but his tone couldn't be heard any different: "That's for sure, I'm several years older than you."

It turned out that it was because of this, Jiang Yan wondered when she would suddenly care so much about the age gap.On second thought, maybe when I reach that age, I will also have such melancholy.

She motioned Xia Yining to bend over and lean closer, as if she wanted to whisper something.Xia Yining raised his eyebrows: "What are you going to do?"

"Come here and I'll tell you."

Xia Yining was skeptical, but his body was honest, and he had habitually moved over.In the end, Jiang Yan didn't say anything, but raised his hand to scan her eyebrows and eyes carefully.

Xia Yining felt that the itching was still a bit abrupt, so she couldn't help but step back a little: "Are you casting spells again?"

Jiang Yan denied it with a smile: "You don't need to cast spells this time, you are pretty enough."

Xia Yining was startled, and understood why she said this suddenly.Just now she subconsciously sighed, but Jiang Yan didn't expect Jiang Yan to understand.It might be impossible for her to say it outright, but I still hope that someone can understand this occasional entanglement and melancholy.

Without hesitation, she hugged Jiang Yan again, and kissed her heavily on the face: "One hundred percent comprehension ability!"

The two laughed and hugged each other, but Xia Yining didn't dare to make a fuss.Jiang Yan must have important things to consider tonight. What she can do is not to influence Jiang Yan's decision, but to hope that she can be firm in what she thinks in her heart.

She suddenly calmed down, Jiang Yan didn't speak, just hugged her quietly and didn't let go.After a while, it was Xia Yining who took the initiative to pat her hand: "I'll go there first, otherwise you will have to stay up late tonight."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan refused, but hugged him even tighter: "Don't go."

Xia Yining stopped and turned to look at her: "Want me to talk to you here?"

"Ah."

But with this posture and appearance, all that can be said is probably nonsense.Xia Yining insisted on standing up, took a chair from the side, and sat beside Jiang Yan.

"If you want to talk, you can tell me what you couldn't say in front of the bosses today."

Jiang Yan was surprised: "You know all this?"

"My guess."

Jiang Yan rubbed his brows and recounted what happened in the old store today.In the end, she sighed herself: "Actually, the bosses are right. Even though everything is not going well, I want to pull them to start a new attempt."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, there was a deep helplessness on the corner of his mouth.

Xia Yining has been familiar with research reports these days, and has also read some analysis of related industries, but she is not really in this industry after all.There are always differences between laymen and experts, perhaps because of different starting points, or perhaps because of different expectations.

But she didn't want to see Jiang Yan like this, because it wasn't just a business issue, but Jiang Yan fell into self-doubt and confusion about this matter.

"Don't worry about what the bosses think, what about yourself? What is your real thought?"

Jiang Yan thought about it seriously, and said firmly, "I still want to try."

"Then why are you hesitating? Is it funds, resources or other reasons?"

Jiang Yan obviously didn't want to answer this question directly, so he remained silent.But Xia Yining did not give up, she put her hand on the back of Jiang Yan's, neither exerting pressure nor flinching.

"Actually, the opposition from the bosses, or the funding requirements for the new experiment are not the main obstacles for me." Jiang Yan spoke slowly, jumping out word by word, as if repeatedly verifying whether it was what he wanted. To put it accurately, "I'm just a little intimidated by my own ambition."

"Ambition?"

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he was relieved. It turned out that saying this word was not as difficult as imagined.

She looked at Xia Yining and said frankly: "I used to think that I was a person without much ambition. Most of the achievements I have obtained now are due to the trend, and because of good luck, I succeeded. But now, I take the initiative to think To get more, and I can't control the urge myself."

Xia Yining listened carefully, without saying whether her idea was right or wrong.

She just asked Jiang Yan: "Then do you think that I have always wanted to get the management rights of the Xia family, so I am also ambitious?"

Jiang Yan frowned, and instinctively wanted to shake his head, but halfway through the shaking, he felt something was wrong.

Her hesitation made Xia Yining laugh.

"I know, it must be considered ambitious to some extent. But it is also the goal I set for pursuing the career I like, and it is the motivation that motivates me to keep moving forward and never give up. So do you think such ambition is a bad thing? ?”

This time, Jiang Yan shook his head very firmly, it was not a bad thing at all.

"Your ambition makes you stronger and braver, makes you stronger, so you can stand up so quickly when the crisis comes."

I have heard such compliments many times from others, but it is not as good as Jiang Yan's sincere praise of her once.Xia Yining could feel the appreciation and respect for her career from her other half, not just because of her status or achievements.

She smiled and looked at Jiang Yan: "You understand the truth, so why don't you accept that you also have such ambitions? There is nothing wrong with you being passive and active in your career, it just shows that you desire to become better and stronger The mentality takes over."

After listening to her explanation, Jiang Yan also understood that he was only on the edge of a dead end, but emotions are sometimes like this.When one is about to become different from the past, people will always be extra sensitive or struggle.

"I'm just not used to being ambitious yet."

Xia Yining held her slightly drooping face, sincerely and admiringly: "If you have ambition, we will be more compatible. If you have ambition, you will be able to protect me better, and so will I."

After she finished speaking, she kissed him before Jiang Yan could answer.

The kiss this time was very shallow and gentle, there was only a slight touch of the lips between each other, but it did not hinder the expression of mutual affection.

Xia Yining took the initiative to end the kiss, took a steady breath, and encouraged Jiang Yan: "You and the bosses are right, but this new attempt is not suitable for continued cooperation. So if you need it, you can consider finding a new partner .”

She raised her chin specially, and didn't point to her nose to say look at me, but the meaning was clear enough.

Most of the small knot in Jiang Yan's heart has been resolved. Hearing what she said, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Jian Jun will definitely complain again then."

Xia Yining himself felt that the cooperation between Jiang Yan and Jian Jun was too tied up, and the painting forum alone was actually enough.It's better to take advantage of this transformation attempt and let her replace Jian Jun.

"Why, I'm not qualified as a candidate partner?"

"I feel good."

"Humph!"

Xia Yining seriously calculated an account, and said to Jiang Yan: "I'm not kidding, you want to make a transformation, abstract traditional food from the entity, and add it to cultural derivation. If you need start-up funds, I can support it. If you need resources for cultural promotion, I also have some in my hand."

As far as traditional food is concerned, it really can't help Xia Yining who can only eat but can't cook.But what Jiang Yan wants to transform and try this time is to make traditional food a kind of culture, so that it can reach more audiences, and it is not restricted by sales venues.Xia Yining has a lot of resources. If she has the money, she can contribute. She seems to be able to help.

Seeing that she spoke so seriously, Jiang Yan stopped joking.

"This matter will be decided after I communicate with Jian Jun. I guess there is a high probability that she will side with the bosses this time."

"Will you be sad?"

Jiang Yan shook his head: "If she chooses to support the ideas of the bosses, it will actually be a relief for me, at least it will make my psychological pressure not so great."

Xia Yining knew that the psychological pressure mentioned by Jiang Yan was actually a kind of moral self-restraint.

"It's good that your cooperation with Jian Jun stays in traditional catering, otherwise I'll be jealous!"

Sure enough, as Jiang Yan thought, after reading the research report, although Jian Jun had concerns, she did not make up her mind to transform.

"In fact, the overall development of the catering industry will not be faster than that of emerging industries. This is determined by the characteristics of the industry. The old restaurant is actually a model of innovation in the catering industry. You must know that Lijia, the former leader of catering in Haicheng, has followed suit. , imitating the old store.”

Jiang Yan was comforted very well by Xia Yining last night. When facing Jian Jun, there was no personal relationship with the bosses. Both of them were extremely rational and sober.

"This report is very clear about the status quo and potential risks. The reason why our views are inconsistent is nothing more than that you see the harvest of persistence, but what I see is the lack of ability to resist risks."

Jian Jun took a deep look at her: "Jiang Yan, sometimes your persistence and stubbornness make people annoying and scary, but I have to say, they are also respectable. But this time, I can't convince myself, I still want to see To the revival of traditional food, it is real food, not abstract food culture.”

Jiang Yan was not at all disappointed because of this, and expressed his decision very simply: "In this case, our cooperation will remain in the original mode. Let me do new attempts, but the forum that did not sell at the beginning I want to take it away."
