Huayin immediately 'bombarded' the message: "Mengmeng, what delicious food are we having tonight?"
Su Meng asked gently, her eyes full of concern.
She wanted to divert the child's attention, to free Mengmeng from the fear of the afternoon and the missing of herself.
Mengmeng blinked her big, watery eyes, trying to remember, a sweet smile appearing on her face: "Tonight, Uncle Jiang made lots and lots of animal-shaped dishes, they were so delicious! There was white rabbit, flower cat, puppy, and bird, um… and cow, duck."
She counted on her fingers as she spoke, as if those lovely dishes were right in front of her.
Su Meng's lips curved slightly, revealing a gentle smile: "So many, then which animal-shaped dish does Mengmeng think tastes the best?"
Mengmeng tilted her head, a conflicted expression on her face, and hesitated for a while before saying, "They all taste good, but they're all too pretty, Mengmeng doesn't want to eat them."
That appearance was both amusing and full of heartache.
Su Meng patiently guided her, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "That won't do, Mengmeng. If Mengmeng doesn't want to eat them, Mommy will ask Uncle Jiang not to make these animal-shaped dishes anymore."
"Ah, no!" Mengmeng's eyes widened, and she said anxiously, "Mengmeng will eat them, Mengmeng will eat them all from now on, so Uncle Jiang can make even more animals."
"Mm, that's a good girl. Think about it, Mengmeng. Uncle Jiang worked so hard to make these cute and delicious animal-shaped dishes, and if Mengmeng doesn't eat them, won't Uncle Jiang be sad?"
Su Meng gently coaxed, trying to make Mengmeng understand the importance of cherishing others' feelings.
Mengmeng nodded heavily, saying seriously: "Mm."
"Then if Mengmeng doesn't eat them, Uncle Jiang will be sad. He might not want to carve these cute animals anymore.
Does Mengmeng want to eat those ordinary dishes, or does she want to eat the cute and delicious animal-shaped dishes that Uncle Jiang makes?"
Su Meng continued to guide her, her eyes full of anticipation.
Mengmeng immediately replied, her voice clear and bright: "Of course, I want lots of cute animals, and the ones that taste good!"
"That's right! So, Mengmeng, you'll eat more of the dishes Uncle Jiang makes in the future, right?" Su Meng asked with a smile.
Mengmeng straightened her back and said seriously: "I got it! Mengmeng will eat all of them in the future."
Su Meng smiled with satisfaction, her eyes shining with a gentle light: "Mengmeng is so good. Mengmeng, give the phone to Uncle Jiang; Mommy wants to talk to Uncle Jiang."
"Uncle Jiang, Mommy wants to talk to you."
Mengmeng, with her milky voice, held the phone and handed it to Jiang Ning, who was wiping down the kitchen.
Jiang Ning smiled and took the phone, stroking Mengmeng's head. He said, "Yes, Mengmeng is so good. Mengmeng, go and play with your toys in the entertainment room on the second floor first. Uncle will play with you after he's done."
Mengmeng: "Okay, okay! Mengmeng wants to play with the new toys later!"
Jiang Ning said into his phone, "Hello, President Su."
Su Meng's voice came through, carrying a trace of apology: "Hello, Jiang Ning, I'm really sorry."
Jiang Ning quickly said, "President Su, you're too polite. You've said this several times since this afternoon. This is my job. It's all my fault. I didn't notice someone was following Mengmeng, which led to this consequence."
Su Meng immediately refuted, "No, no, Jiang Ning, you've done a great job. Even if you knew they were following you, they would still try to pursue you relentlessly."
Jiang Ning said seriously, "Don't worry, President Su. For the next while, I won't take Mengmeng out to play. We'll stay within the Villa's grounds unless we go out to the supermarket in the morning to buy groceries. Otherwise, I won't take Mengmeng anywhere else."
Su Meng looked at Jiang Ning seriously, her gaze carrying a hint of inquiry, and asked, "Well, I understand that. Jiang Ning, can you tell me if you know Martial Arts?"
Jiang Ning: "..."
Jiang Ning paused, then answered, "A little bit."
Su Meng continued to ask, "Jiang Ning, could you tell me more specifically? For example, how many can you take on?"
Jiang Ning fell silent for a moment, unsure how to answer.
Su Meng explained, "Jiang Ning, I'm really sorry. It's just that only I know how strong you really are. That's the only way I can decide whether or not to send bodyguards to help look after you."
Jiang Ning finally understood Su Meng's intention. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Oh, so that's how it is, President Su. I should be fine against a dozen or so of those Hooligans from this afternoon. With twenty or so, I'll probably get injured. With thirty, it'll be a mutual loss. If there are more than forty, I'll only have the option of running away. But if I encounter a Martial Arts expert, it's hard to say."
"Hiss—"
Su Meng couldn't help but gasp.
Hearing that Jiang Ning could handle more than a dozen of the Hooligans from this afternoon, she was quite shocked.
After all, Jiang Ning had only graduated for a little over two months, and those Hooligans from the afternoon looked like they were from the streets. They were all tough characters who often got into fights, and some of them had even learned some Kung Fu.
Jiang Ning's ability to take on a dozen people single-handedly proved he must have some Martial Arts foundation, at the very least, a beginner level.
The difference between those with Martial Arts and those without was vast.
Even the well-trained bodyguards around her couldn't handle a dozen of those Hooligans alone. They could manage six or seven at most, and they would likely get injured.
Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright then, Jiang Ning, I won't send the bodyguards over. You'll have to be extra careful, and don't take Mengmeng out to play."
Jiang Ning replied, "Don't worry. Mengmeng has been a bit shaken up, and I won't take her out to play for a while. The furthest we'll go is the supermarket, but the Police Kiosk is right in front of it, so the Hooligans won't make a move there."
Su Meng smiled and said, "Jiang Ning, have you ever thought about getting a girlfriend? How about I introduce my assistant, Li Yao, to you?"
Jiang Ning's face instantly flushed slightly. He quickly waved his hand, a little embarrassed as he said, "Don't, please. Feelings are about fate, President Su, don't play matchmaker for me."
"Pfft—"
Su Meng couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, teasing, "Oh, oh, Jiang Ning, you're actually shy? Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll hang up now, and I'll leave Mengmeng in your care."
Jiang Ning said, "Don't worry, just leave Mengmeng to me, President Su. You take care of your business."
Jiang Ning hung up the phone and got back to cleaning the kitchen.
Half an hour later, he had scrubbed the kitchen until it gleamed. The utensils were neatly arranged, and the dishes were lined up in an orderly fashion, like soldiers awaiting inspection, shining with a clean light under the lamps.
Jiang Ning took out his phone and took a picture of the tidy kitchen, adding the words: "Good cooking requires a good environment, and a good environment is a prerequisite for creating good cooking.
Only with a good environment can you have a good mood, and with a good mood, you can make delicious dishes."
Afterwards, he uploaded this video to his Huayin account.
Looking at the video he took of the kitchen environment, Jiang Ning was in a great mood.
Jiang Ning took out the dinner-making video he had filmed earlier and checked it carefully. After confirming everything was correct, he uploaded it as well.
After finishing all of this, he turned off his phone and walked out of the kitchen.
At this moment, Jiang Ning didn't know that his two videos, once uploaded to Huayin, instantly caused a huge uproar. The entire platform was "bombed" by his videos.
