Chapter 338: 224 personally showed up, it’s not as simple as imagined

Tang Wan had not brought up the work issue with Jiang Jinsang. There were many employees dissatisfied with the compensation who had sparked lawsuits, but she treated it as a common occurrence.

Right now, she was on the phone with Jiang Jinsang while checking the registered employee data on her computer; Xu Lin had provided her with two names.

"...in a few days we’ll come over, it should be my parents and me." Jiang Jinsang finished speaking and waited a long time without a response, "Wanwan?"

"Ah? What did you say?" Tang Wan hadn’t expected the two names Xu Lin provided to be a married couple, and she was surprised.

"Are you busy?"

"There’s a bit of a tricky issue at work."

"Then you go ahead with your work, we’ll talk later." Jiang Jinsang knew she had a lot going on lately and didn’t blame her.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cuo approached him and whispered, "Miss is back."

Jiang Jinsang’s eyes raised slightly, "Jiang Shuyan?"

"Right, she just arrived and is chatting with the old lady in the living room."

"I see."

Jiang Jinsang changed clothes and went downstairs; arriving at the second floor, he heard Jiang Shuyan’s voice coming from the living room. Since the medical disturbance where she had been detained by the police, Jiang Zhaolin had urgently sent her abroad, and she hadn’t come back for the New Year. Why had she returned now?

"Second cousin." Jiang Shuyan saw him descending the stairs, "I heard you and Sister Tang are getting engaged, congratulations."

"Thank you." Jiang Jinsang’s mouth curved slightly, but he still maintained a hint of coldness.

"Knowing about your engagement, Shuyan specially rushed back from abroad, just in time to attend your engagement party," the old lady said with a laugh, being an old fox who rarely displayed her emotions openly.

Jiang Jinsang hadn’t planned a big celebration for his engagement, but close relatives would certainly be invited, and the Jiang Zhaolin family would definitely attend.

Jiang Zhaolin doted on this daughter and had probably been wanting to bring her back for some time. The situation had been ugly then, and bringing her back suddenly might worry Jiang Jinsang. But with his engagement, it was justifiable.

At that moment, Fan Mingyu appeared, dressed in a neatly tailored cheongsam that flattered her figure. The peach-colored silk satin with a few strands of crimson plum blossoms enhanced by a Cyan Feather brooch on her chest complemented each other beautifully.

"That dress looks lovely," the old lady said with a smile.

"It seems the waist could be taken in a bit, that would better enhance the figure," Jiang Shuyan said with a smile, her demeanor as if the past incident had never happened.

"It does seem a bit loose." Fan Mingyu adjusted the soft satin at the waist side. She would be going to Pingjiang in a few days to discuss the engagement, and she was somewhat nervous.

Though an engagement wasn’t as significant as a wedding, she still worried about not handling some aspects thoroughly enough, which affected her sleep and naturally made her lose weight.

"Are you wearing this dress for the proposal? I heard this brooch was handmade by Sister Tang, it’s really pretty. She’s truly skilled and talented, compared to her, I’m quite clumsy..." Jiang Shuyan joked.

...

Jiang Jinsang sat quietly on the side, having remained silent throughout. After the medical disturbance, no one was truly at ease; this interaction was nothing more than a mutual pretense.

Pingjiang

Since Tang Wan already knew about the incident at the studio, she naturally consulted with Manager Chen on how to handle it.

"Do you want to meet them in person?" Chen Zhi was annoyed that Tang Wan had found out, "You’ve been busy making jewelry and soothing the staff lately, that should have been my responsibility, but still, it has reached your ears."

Xu Lin, you rascal, isn’t your mouth leaky!

Despite my strict instructions, you still told her!

"I am the one in charge, it’s appropriate for me to solve this, plus I heard they’ve been wanting to meet me."

"It’s just a fuss to get more money," Chen Zhi sighed and shook his head, "Both of them are old employees who have been here since the studio was established. Their public relations skills are good, we’ve always got along well, and they’re responsible. I didn’t expect them to lead this disturbance this time."

"Arrange a meeting with them, I’ll come with you. You talk to them and see what they really want." noveldrama

"Alright." Chen Zhi knew this matter couldn’t drag on too long. After chatting with Tang Wan, they reserved a private room at the Yiyu Tea House and arranged to meet the couple.

The private room was chosen for its seclusion. Tang Wan and Chen Zhi arrived before the couple, Tang Wan didn’t show herself immediately and instead sat behind a folding screen. If Chen Zhi really couldn’t handle it, she would step in.

After about half an hour accompanied by a knocking sound, someone pushed the door open.

"Manager Chen, sorry for being late, I was sending the kid to the cram school," a deep male voice spoke. The screen was made of solid wood with intricate carvings which somewhat allowed one to see through.

"No problem, please have a seat," Chen Zhi greeted the couple to sit down, "Isn’t it early for cram school before the term even started?"

"With the pressure children face these days, it’s unavoidable," the woman began, initiating some casual chit-chat to break the ice.

The man was Deng Shuo and the woman Ding Anran, a married couple from Pingjiang for over ten years with a son in middle school.

"Manager Chen, you called us, both of us, for a discussion, I presume?" Deng Shuo asked knowingly.

"It’s still about the severance compensation matter that turned unpleasant before," Chen Zhi poured tea for them, "We all want to resolve the issue, so let’s have a calm and genuine discussion."

Tang Wan sat in the back, listening to their conversation while nibbling on pastries and slowly chewing, subtly feeling that this matter wasn’t as simple as imagined...
