Chapter 8 If She Was Still There

"This..." Ji Zunxing was a little embarrassed.

He really doesn't know.

Ji Chenxing knew that he didn't trust her, so she rarely proposed any strategies to him directly.

Reflecting on it now, it seemed that it was Ji Chenxing who had been secretly arranging things all along. Every time he led his troops to fight, the time was calculated by Ji Chenxing.

Under the absolute advantage, Ji Chenxing's strategy was that he mounted his horse and killed the enemy in an ordinary way, which was unexpected and surprising to the enemy.

With the right timing, right location and right people, there is no reason why we cannot win the battle.

Ji Zunxing felt a bitter taste in his throat and was speechless for a moment.

"Why don't you say anything, General? But this is a brilliant plan. Don't you know where to start?"

Jun Heng pressed the question.

Ji Zunxing then came to his senses and remembered that he had left Jun Heng alone for a long time.

He nodded hurriedly, "As Your Majesty said, this plan is very good. Please give me two days. After two days, I will present all the plans."

Every word Ji Zunxing said was sincere, but in Jun Heng's eyes it was just bluffing.

Jun Heng picked up the cinnabar pen again. He knew that Ji Zunxing was stalling for time, but he didn't care.

"I see, then I'll do as you say, General.

“But I want to remind you, General, that there are two kingdoms, Zhou and Ping, to the north of Daliang, and we don’t know when they will rise up again.

"It doesn't matter if General Ji is not good at speaking. If you go to the battlefield, I hope you can still make great achievements like before."

Ji Zunxing's heart was beating like a drum. He politely bowed to Jun Heng and said, "I will take my leave."

After leaving the palace, in the general's carriage, Ji Zunxing said nothing.

He didn't drink tea when he went out, but after talking with Jun Heng this time, even though he was exhausted, there seemed to be a lingering aroma of tea on the tip of his tongue.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"It would be nice if Chen Xing was still here."

If Ji Chenxing were still here, these problems would definitely be solved.

He looked up at the screen. On the screen, Ji Chenxing was pointing at a document and saying something to Ji Huaiyu.

Under Ji Chenxing's explanation, Ji Huaiyu's eyes would occasionally show a light of sudden enlightenment.

Ji Zunxing closed his eyes and suppressed a long sigh.

All the love and affection for his father should have belonged to him, but now it is all gone.

Although she seemed to be very close, Ji Zunxing understood that if he wanted to ask Ji Chenxing in person what trick he had used that day, Ji Chenxing would probably not answer him.

Ji Zunxing couldn't help but wonder, if he hadn't let Shen Ruyan kill Ji Chenxing at that time, would everything have been different?

It was noon and the live broadcast was still going on.

At the Qi family's small dining table, there was already a sumptuous meal, all prepared without a doubt by Qi's mother, Xu Fang.

"It's time to eat, Ziyan, Laoqi, Lele."

Only after the last dish was placed on the table did Xu Fang call her family to eat together.

Chicken stewed with potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried beans, seaweed egg drop soup...

They are all simple home-cooked dishes, but with a family of four sitting around, the sense of happiness is about to overflow the screen.

[I work outside and order takeout every day. I am a mama’s girl. I admit that I miss my mother.]

[This variety show is to remind us to go home more often. I really envy their family for being able to sit together and have an ordinary lunch.]

[Auntie is so hardworking. She spent the whole morning washing dishes, sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, washing clothes, hanging clothes, buying groceries, and cooking. I never saw her take a break. Isn’t she tired?]

[Oh, isn't it normal for women to be tired from doing such a small job? ]

Hearing Xu Fang's voice, Qi Shan sat down at the dining table holding his phone, with a short video playing on his phone in a loop.

Qi Ziyan and Qi Le also walked out of the room. Qi Ziyan was fine, but Qi Le didn't seem to be in a very good mood and looked a little listless. "What's wrong, Lele?" Xu Fang asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Qi Le raised his head somewhat dully, but his expression suddenly changed the moment he caught a glimpse of Qi Ziyan from the corner of his eye.

"No, mom. I'm fine." Qi Le sat in his seat with a smile, "Wow, mom, you made my favorite fish-flavored pork shreds again. Brother, you should eat more too."

After Qi Le finished speaking, he picked up a piece of shredded pork with fish flavor and put it into Qi Ziyan's bowl.

Qi Ziyan, like a brother in a TV show, gently ruffled his sister's hair and said, "Thank you, Lele."

The smile on Qi Ziyan's face was not fake, he was in a good mood.

A long time ago, he learned from Ji Xueqing that the Ji family's three meals a day were taken care of by their nanny, Aunt Sun.

This means that no one in the Ji family can cook.

Although Ji Chenxing saved the day for breakfast, what about lunch? We can't let Ji Chenxing make it, right?
Ji Yunfan is a very picky person. If Ji Chenxing is not careful and makes a dish that he doesn't like, the two of them will probably fight.

Regardless of whether the Ji family members had no food to eat or were fighting, Qi Ziyan was happy to see it happen.

In a family variety show, who wants others to see the mess in their home?

By then, the Ji family will be disgraced, and Ji Xueqing's reputation will also be damaged.

By then, let’s see who dares to say that he is not worthy of Ji Xueqing!

Sooner or later, he will take over the Ji family's company!

Qi Ziyan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, picked up a piece of chicken and put it into Qi Le's bowl, "Le Le, you should eat more too."

But Qi Ziyan didn't know that the Ji family at this moment was a completely different scene from what he had imagined.

The driver, Uncle Xu, opened the door and came in, followed by several men in suits.

Carrying thermos boxes in their hands, the men walked to the Ji family's dining table and opened and put down the food boxes one by one.

"Mr. Ji, your order has arrived."

"This is the Australian lobster that was just airlifted in this morning, cooked by a five-star chef..."

"This is the freshly processed A5 Wagyu beef. We made it into sashimi and charcoal grilled..."

"This is……"

……

As the delicacies were served one after another, the number of people in the Ji family’s live broadcast room increased dramatically.

In addition to these dishes, Ji Huaiyu also opened a glass of wine that he had collected for decades, poured it for himself and Wen Ya, and also poured a little for Ji Chenxing and Ji Xueqing.

"Chen Xing came back too late yesterday, and I didn't have time to welcome him. Today, while everyone is here, I'll give this glass of wine to Chen Xing."

Ji Huaiyu said this and raised his glass to Ji Chenxing.

Except for Ji Yunfan, who was under 18 and could only drink fruit juice and raised his middle finger to Ji Chenxing with disdain, everyone in the family raised their glasses to Ji Chenxing.

[What kind of dishes are on the Ji family's table! If converted into RMB, it would be enough for me to spend for several months]

[Does the Ji family still accept daughters? Mr. Ji, take a look at me. Is it possible that I am your other daughter who is living outside?]

[Stop talking upstairs. Didn’t you see Wen Ya sitting next to President Ji? Please leave President Ji a way out.]

Not only in modern times, but also in the general's mansion, several people who could see Ji Chenxing's live broadcast room also stared with their eyes wide open, looking at the table of dishes, tears streaming down from the corners of their mouths.

When several people put down their wine glasses, the dishes were all served. Ji Huaiyu picked up the knife and fork, "I don't know what Chen Xing likes to eat, so I ordered a little bit. Come, eat the dishes first, Yaya, try the lobster today, it tastes especially good."

When he heard that the meal was ready, Ji Yunfan's unhappiness finally disappeared. The corners of his mouth raised high and he held his fork high, as if he was looking for his favorite dish.

Found it, foie gras!

Just when Ji Yunfan's eyes fell on the plate of foie gras and he had no time to make a move.

A pair of slightly rough hands held the knife and fork in an unskilled manner, splitting the beautifully cut foie gras into two without any art sense.

"Ji Chenxing!" Ji Yunfan jumped up from the stool, "Give me back my foie gras!"
