Chapter 864 Inviting them to the banquet
"Why don't I believe it? If the benefits of my fitness really came to you, would you still work out? You would definitely lie down and urge me to work out more."
"Hehe, maybe things will really turn out like this."
"That's for sure. We've known each other for such a long time. Don't I know what kind of person you are?"
"Please don't say that. I was a little lazy before, but you see I have changed now. I have been working out with you. You have to encourage people like me who have just started working out, don't you understand?"
"Well, I get it. It's not easy for you to make such a change. Let's work hard together to keep doing this."
"Of course. With someone as determined as you by my side to push me forward, I will definitely persevere."
"It's good to hear you say that. We've sweated enough now, so let's go downstairs and drink some water to replenish our energy and then go back to rest. We have to go to work tomorrow. You have to have a good massage after you take a shower, otherwise I'm afraid you'll suddenly increase your intensity of exercise and strain your muscles."
"It shouldn't be a big deal. I've been stretching with you for a long time. I'm not the exercise novice I was before."
"It shouldn't be a problem. After all, we both say we come to the gym every day to exercise, and the amount of exercise is enough. Our muscles should be used to this kind of exercise."
"I think so too. Okay, I'll go upstairs to my room to wash up. Yunchuan, you should also go back to your room and rest early."
"Ah."
After drinking the water, Cheng Yunchuan turned off the lights in the hall and went back to his room to wash up. Before 11 o'clock, every room in the Cheng family turned off the lights and went to rest.
At the Jiang family villa, when Jiang Mubai came back from the courtyard after making a phone call, Jiang An was indeed in his study. He was not working but calling others to invite them to attend the Hundred Days Banquet.
He had promised Jiang Mubai this matter early in the morning. After dinner today, before Jiang Mubai went out for a walk, Jiang An specifically asked her about the time of the Hundred Days Banquet, because he had to complete the invitation task today.
Jiang An's first call was to Jiang Zhen. The time he chose was just right for talking to someone on the phone. If it was too early, everyone would be having dinner and it would be inconvenient to talk. If it was too late, people might be resting and it would disturb others.
Jiang An and Jiang Zhen haven't been in touch for a long time. Now that Jiang An has taken the initiative to call Jiang Zhen, he will definitely pull him aside to have a good chat. After the two of them told each other about their recent situation, they started to talk about serious matters.
"Ah An, did you call me to tell me something?"
Jiang An laughed when he heard this: "Uncle Zhen, nothing can be hidden from your eyes. It's not a big deal if I have something to ask you. Isn't it almost a hundred days since the birth? We didn't pay attention to it at first, but we found out in the end. Now that we know, we can't pretend that we don't know and not get the child married, right? Otherwise, when he grows up and finds out, he will be disowned by me."
"So it's this matter. I thought it was something else. It's just a small matter and uncle will attend it. Can't you just tell me about this kind of small matter on the phone? Why do you need to call me in person?"
"I haven't contacted you for a long time, right? Besides, calling you seems more solemn. Just sending a message is too disrespectful. The Hundred Days Banquet will be held at the villa this weekend. You and Gu Chen must come to our house to play."
"Okay, call the others as well. It's been a while since we've had some fun together. We used to go to your villa from time to time, but after the birth of the baby, we were afraid that we might disturb the child, so we held back."
"Xiang Xiang is very obedient. If you go to my house, you don't need to worry about these things at all. If you want to come next time, just go to the villa."
"Okay, then are you going to call them one by one and invite them personally later?"
"Yeah, there are 10 to 20 people. If each person takes 5 minutes, it will take a lot of time to do this."
"Then let me tell them for you. If you call them one by one, how long will it take you to finish?"
"No matter how nice it is, Uncle Zhen, it takes time for you to do the electrical work, so I'd better let me do it."
"In that case, let's notify them separately. This will save some time. You can call the few people you have a good relationship with, and I'll call the rest."
"I'd better do it myself. How can I trouble you, Uncle Zhen, to help me with something like this?"
"Okay, why are you being so distant with me? This matter has been settled. I won't say any more to you and I'm just hanging up now. After I hang up, I have to call them to inform them about this matter for you."
Jiang Zhen hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang An to thank him. What else could Jiang An say at this point? He had to agree. If he still refused out of courtesy when someone was so enthusiastic about helping him, it would be a bit ungrateful.
With Jiang Zhen's help, they completed the task in less than an hour. It was not too late. Jiang An thought about how Jiang Zhen had helped him so much and he had not had the time to express his gratitude on the phone just now. Now that things were done, he had to send a message to thank him. Although they had a good relationship and didn't care about these superficial things, Jiang An really respected this uncle in the family, so he would not feel at ease if he didn't thank him in person.
After sending the message of gratitude, Jiang An did not receive an immediate reply from Jiang Zhen. He guessed that the other party was busy and did not see it or had already gone to bed, so he ignored it. When he finished packing and returned to the bedroom from the study, Jiang Zhen's text message was sent to his mobile phone.
Jiang Zhen said that he had been on the phone and only just now saw the message sent by Jiang An. He accepted Jiang An's gratitude and said that it was just a small favor. After seeing this, Jiang An immediately replied and asked Jiang Zhen to go back to the room early so as not to delay his sleep.
Jiang Zhen didn't reply. Jiang An knew that the other person had seen the text message, so he obediently went back to bed to rest.
Zhou Xiaoying went home for the holiday and spent a day with her family. When she came back, it was around nine o'clock in the evening. At that time, Jiang Mubai had just washed up and was watching Xiangxiang fall asleep in bed.
Since Zhou Xiaoying was not around, Jiang Mubai didn't dare to leave Xiangxiang alone in the small suite. Even though nothing would happen if the little guy went to bed early, Jiang Mubai always felt that it would be a little unsafe to leave such a young child alone.
The housekeeper in the villa knew that Zhou Xiaoying had not returned yet, so he was not in a hurry to go to bed and did not call to urge her to come back. Because the driver had reported this to him when he went out to pick up Zhou Xiaoying, Chen Qi just needed to know that she was already on the way back to the villa.
When the driver of the villa brought Zhou Xiaoying back, it was the housekeeper who opened the door for them personally. Although the housekeeper does not need to do many things personally, if anything happens in the villa, he is basically the one to handle it, no matter if the masters have tasks or the servants have matters to deal with.
For example, if no one has returned home yet so late, it is impossible to ask other servants to wait outside for the person who is out to come back. They have been working in the villa for half a day, so how can they be asked to work overtime without rest at night? Therefore, this kind of thing of leaving the door open for people to come back is usually done by the butler.
