Ya Chen's face remained as cold as ever.
Perhaps out of respect for Jiayi, his sister-in-law, and father-in-law, or perhaps because he didn't want to say more on the matter, he stayed silent for a long while before finally speaking, with a grunt.
Jiayi heaved a sigh of relief.
After a moment of silence, Ya Chen seemed to want to bypass the heavy atmosphere and changed the subject:
"I heard you opened a branch in Nanga City a few months ago."
"Yes. Actually, besides visiting Xinyue, I came with Dad to S Country this time to manage the branch."
"How's the shop doing?" Ya Chen casually asked.
Jiayi honestly said, "It's only been open a few months, so business isn't great. Just trying to minimize losses is good enough. I'm planning on finding some local media for advertising to get the branch's name out there since consumers now recognize names and brands."
"If you need help, just say the word."
