Chapter: 2746

He Yuanjiang suddenly asked He Zhiqiu a question, making her face turn even redder. She thought to herself, “Is it uncomfortable? Of course, it is! The underwear that Charlie Wade bought for me is two sizes too small! It feels like I’m being squeezed all the time. Now that I’m sitting down, it’s even worse…”

But she couldn’t say that out loud. Instead, she replied vaguely, “Oh, Dad, I’m fine. Maybe I’m just a little nervous from everything that’s happened.”

He Yuanjiang didn’t think much of it. He nodded and sighed, “You’ve been through so much. It’s normal to feel tense after experiencing a war and a kidnapping.”

He Zhiqiu felt embarrassed and thought, “I’m not just mentally tense; I’m physically uncomfortable too. If this keeps up, I can’t breathe…”

At that moment, He Yuanjiang turned to Charlie Wade and asked, “Charlie, can you let Zhiqiu take a break for a couple of days before we start working on ocean transportation?”

Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Of course! We don’t plan to jump right into work. Zhiqiu can rest for a few days. I’ll gather some resources in the meantime. The head of the Ito family from Japan is in Jinling right now, and she has a good relationship with me. We have many projects we can collaborate on in ocean transportation.”

“Ito family?” He Zhiqiu exclaimed, surprised. “That’s the top family in Japan! Their leader used to be Ito Yuhiko, right? I heard that after the chaos in Tokyo, he was injured and paralyzed, and his daughter took over.”

Charlie smiled at He Zhiqiu, thinking he knew a lot about the Ito family. “Have you been keeping up with what’s happening in Japan?” he asked.

He Zhiqiu nodded seriously. “Of course. We study finance, so it’s important to know about major economies. Japan has one of the highest GDPs in the world and a strong industrial base. That’s why I pay close attention to their business and economic developments.”

Charlie added, “By the way, besides Ito Nanako, who is visiting Jinling, her father, Ito Yuhiko, will be here too. I’ll introduce you to him when the time comes.”

“Sounds good!” He Zhiqiu replied.

He Yuanjiang looked at the clock and asked, “By the way, have you two had lunch yet?”

Charlie shook his head. “No, I haven’t eaten.”

He Yuanjiang smiled and said, “I haven’t eaten either. I lost my appetite before, but now that you and Zhiqiu are back, I’m feeling hungry. How about we go out to eat?”

He Zhiqiu realized he hadn’t eaten since he got on the plane and quickly agreed, “I’m hungry too! Let’s find a restaurant to eat and talk.”

Charlie, feeling generous, responded, “I’ll take care of the lunch plans.”

He Yuanjiang insisted, “No, I should invite you! It’s my treat!”

Charlie smiled back. “I have a good friend who owns a restaurant. The food is amazing, and they don’t let just anyone book a table. So, I’ll arrange it. And Uncle He, whenever you want to treat me to a meal, just let me know. Since we’re all in Jinling, it will be easy to meet up.”

He Yuanjiang heard this and decided not to push the matter further. He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you!”

Charlie Wade realized it had been a while since he visited the Tianxiang Mansion in Hongwukai. He remembered the food there was delicious. Since today was a special reunion for He Yuanjiang and He Zhiqiu, it deserved to be a bit more special.

He pulled out his phone and said to them, “Let me call my friend and ask him to make the arrangements.”

With that, he dialed Hong Wu.
