Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 700 - 438 Huo Family vs Shen Family’s Two Elders, Awkward Laughter and Staring?_2
It was just the incident with Liang Han in the morning, Jiang Jinsang worried she might have an accident, so he said, "It looks like I need to follow you closely from now on."
She thought Jiang Jinsang was joking and replied casually, but who would have thought he would actually accompany her to work.
"Cough—" Tang Wan coughed lightly, "Alright, let’s start the meeting, to discuss this week and the upcoming work schedule."
"Are our recent tasks too packed? Many projects don’t seem necessary to bring up," Chen Zhi said as he looked over the work plan provided by Tang Wan.
"If we can finish this year’s workload earlier, you’ll get more bonus and can start the New Year holiday sooner. I know some of you came to Beijing with me, and I just want you to have the chance to go home earlier," Tang Wan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately felt that the boss was too considerate.
Only Jiang Jinsang leaned back in his chair, watching her "talk nonsense" with great interest!
If calculated according to the lunar calendar, Tang Wan’s due date was likely in the first month of the year, which is during the New Year holidays, so she definitely needed to wrap up her work early.
Apart from Chen Zhi, everyone felt like crying.
Old Master Jiang sat in the conference room personally leading them. He told them to ignore his presence, but wherever he went, he was always the center of attention. With such a living presence, how could anyone truly ignore him.
The meeting had nothing to do with him, yet he listened very seriously, making everyone very nervous. Some employees stumbled over their words, and even made a few laughable slips of the tongue due to nervousness.
After the meeting, Tang Wan teased him, "My employees seem to be scared by you, what do you think we should do about it?"
"Poor psychological quality," he replied, though he took everyone for afternoon tea, winning their hearts.
"Oh, right, how is Liang Han’s situation in the hospital?" Tang Wan turned to Jiang Jinsang.
"Auntie took action, plus she was kicked by Jiang Jiu a couple of times, what do you think? It’s not a bone or tendon injury, but it’s still quite serious." Jiang Jinsang sneered, "I’ve taken care of the transfer procedures, at this time, she should already be at Uncle Zhou’s hospital."
Zhou Zhongqing’s hospital was one of the top hospitals in the nation, so it was normal for Liang Family to transfer her there.
Jiang Jinsang looked at the work schedule in front of Tang Wan, "You have a hospital check-up the day after tomorrow, and you still scheduled work?"
"I almost forgot," Tang Wan said with some frustration, "I’ve been so forgetful lately."
"I’ll remember for you."
"With grandma and grandpa staying at our home, will the Liang Family come over?" The old lady had connections with old Mr. Liang.
"With how mad grandma is about Liang Han’s issue, the Liang Family wouldn’t dare come over right now."
...
Tang Wan still had a lot of work to attend to, so the two of them stayed in the studio for a long time.

In the evening, the elderly lady returned home from the Peach Garden with the Shen Family elders, discussing today’s performance of "Chaoyang Gully," adapted from Henan opera.
It was about the era of their youth, rooted in village labor and production. After watching, they were full of emotion.
The young people of today couldn’t possibly understand what life was like for them back then; only with peers of the same age could they share personal thoughts.
"Back then, who could have imagined living such a good life as we do today? At that time, it was all oil lamps - now every household has electric lights. It’s incredible," the old lady lamented after watching the play, "But the best part of the show was definitely the scene where the mothers-in-law meet."
"It was quite interesting," the Shen Family old lady agreed.
"Mother-in-law, please have a seat—" the old lady mimicked, humming a tune. Though not as good as the professional singers, she received great support from the Shen Family elders.
When they arrived at the ancestral home, the atmosphere inside the car was excellent. As soon as she got out, the old lady saw a green military jeep parked in the yard, "Oh, have the Huo Family couple come over?"
"Yes, old lady, please take your time getting out of the car," a servant from the Jiang Family hurried forward to assist.
The Shen Family elders exchanged glances. In Beijing, they only knew Huo Qinqi from the Huo Family.
"When did they arrive? Why didn’t you notify me!" the old lady leaned on her walking stick, feigning annoyance.
"They arrived about half an hour ago. Mrs. Huo and the madam went out to the supermarket to get groceries. They’ll be dining at home tonight and weren’t in a rush, so we didn’t notify you," the Jiang Family servant explained.
"Let me tell you, this couple rarely comes back to Beijing. They’re usually so busy that we might not see them for a year or two. What a good day today is..." the old lady turned around and briefed the Shen Family elders about the Huo Family couple before entering the house.
Though there were many unpleasant things that happened in the morning, the old lady enjoyed the opera performance in the afternoon and didn’t expect an old acquaintance to visit, naturally making her doubly joyful.
