This should be enough to uphold the Ming family's reputation .
The atmosphere began to freeze, and Wang Daqin was delighted yet worried .
She was delighted that Third Yan had taken Xuxu's side, yet worried that he might really fall out with Ming Zhongsheng . After all, he was still his elder, and they had been family friends for generations . Furthermore, they had business dealings with each other .
There were too many connections to take into consideration . If they really clashed because of this, neither family would benefit from it .
She decided to interrupt to ease the tension . "This sounds feasible too . Our Third Yan is very picky—being his secretary isn't an easy job . "
She pondered and continued . "How about we send Xinyi to the PR department? The position of the deputy director is still vacant . "

She looked at Yan Rusheng; it wouldn't work if he disagreed .
Yan Rusheng remained silent, his expression cold .
That meant he agreed . The old lady smiled and turned to Wen Xinyi . "Xinyi, the PR department represents our company's image . And there will be plenty of opportunities to interact with the President . Is this alright with you?"
If she were a smart girl, she would react tactfully in this situation by agreeing .
Wen Xinyi wasn't very willing, but she wasn't that dumb either . She nodded her head gently .
Her hands which were placed on her knees were clenched tightly into fists as she tried to suppress her grievances .

The deputy director of the PR department—it sounded somewhat fair to his granddaughter . Most importantly, she had already agreed, and so Ming Zhongsheng fell silent .
"Then that's settled . Third Yan, you'd better take care of Xinyi at work in the future . " After Ming Zhongsheng had instructed him coldly, he stood up and told Wen Xinyi, "Xinyi, let's go . "
Wang Daqin rose instantly and grabbed Ming Zhongsheng by his arm . "Old Ming, let's have dinner together before you leave . The kitchen is preparing it right now . "
Ming Zhongsheng sneered coldly and flung her hand away . "No, it's alright . I can't afford to eat your precious rice . "
He knew clearly in his heart that her suggestion of finding a suitable position and letting the two kids interact was made out of consideration of their relationship . That way, he would have a way to retreat without losing face .
But this wasn't what he'd come for today . His main motive was to confirm the arranged marriage in one way or another .
But no matter how relentless and fierce Ming Zhongsheng tried to appear, he was counterattacked effortlessly the minute this young kid came back .
If they had dinner together, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't flip the table if he didn't manage to swallow this insult .
Wang Daqin's mouth twitched before she smiled once again . "Old Ming, what are you talking about? It's rare for you to drop by and dinner is almost ready . How could you leave without eating?"
Ming Zhongsheng snorted . "Wang Daqin, you've been using your brain your entire life, shouldn't you take a break? Isn't it tiring to keep using it?"
Did she really think that he was a fool?
Wang Daqin was deflated . "Alright, alright . Go ahead and leave then . "
After walking Ming Zhongsheng and his granddaughter out of the house, Wang Daqin returned in high spirits . Yan Rusheng was about to head upstairs .
She stopped him hurriedly . "Third Yan . "
Yan Rusheng paused, turning around to look at her puzzledly .
"Call Xuxu to come over for dinner . " Wang Daqin spoke as she walked .
Yan Rusheng frowned . "Why are you asking her to come when it's so late?"
This silly boy . If it's late, then she can stay over for the night .
She wanted to know if the soft-shelled turtle soup was really working since he'd been drinking it for days . But Xuxu hadn't popped by to stay for the night, and he hadn't stayed out either . The effects were worrying indeed .
