Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 185 A Deservedly Good Father

Zhao Yuan gently shook his head and replied with a smile:

"Mr. Fu, you're too kind. I'm afraid I can't make it today. I already promised my youngest daughter that I would come home to have dinner with her and tell her a story. Besides, we made a pinky promise, so I can't go back on my word!"

As he spoke, a hint of doting appeared in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Fu Jiaxing couldn't help but give a thumbs-up and praise:

"Wow, Mr. Zhao not only has a thriving career, but he also takes such good care of his family. He is truly a wonderful father, and we should all learn from him!"

Zhou Jiefang, standing to the side, chimed in with a smile, saying:

"That's right, Mr. Zhao is a complete doting father, he grants his daughter's every wish!"

Zhao Yuan smiled sheepishly, then glanced at his watch, stood up, and said:

"In that case, I'll take my leave now. I'll definitely treat you all to a nice get-together another day."

Fu Jiaxing nodded quickly to show his understanding, and then he and Xiong Jiayuan saw Zhao Yuan and the other two out the door.

As the door closed, the office returned to silence, but the air still seemed to carry the lingering warmth of the heated discussion.

"Jiefang, you should quickly find a few reliable law firms to find out the situation. Our company needs to hire a capable and experienced lawyer long-term; it's an essential asset for the company's development."

Zhao Yuan gave the instructions with a serious expression.

"No problem, boss, I'll get on it right away!"

Zhou Jiefang readily agreed.

Then, Zhao Yuan turned to Director Gong, who was standing to the side, and asked with concern:

"Old Gong, how's the food factory doing lately?"

Upon hearing this, Director Gong's face immediately broke into a bright smile, and he excitedly replied:

"Mr. Zhao, that's wonderful! Ever since we participated in the Spring Festival Gala, our food factory's reputation has skyrocketed! Business is booming, our products are selling like hotcakes, and the production line is running non-stop in three shifts every day. Even so, we're still struggling to keep up with demand! And that promotional plan you mentioned earlier, our sales department has already finalized it. We're planning to give you a detailed report as soon as we've finished dealing with things here!"

Zhao Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Great job, great job! I'll go to the factory myself tomorrow to see the situation in detail."

"Old Gong, Jiefang, don't go back today, come to my house for dinner. Lin Fangfang's cooking skills, under my godfather's careful guidance, may still be a bit behind the professional chefs at 'Zhao's Kitchen,' but they're quite good! I guarantee everyone will have a happy and satisfying meal!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.

“We shouldn’t bother you and your wife! You’ve been away from home for so long, you should spend more time with the kids and your wife! How about this, you can just drop us off at that ‘Zhao’s Kitchen’ restaurant up ahead.”

Zhou Jiefang said with a sincere expression.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao! We should spend more time with our families when we get home, so we brothers don't waste precious time with them. Besides, we might get even busier in the future!"

Gong Xianjin nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I'll drop you both off up ahead."

Zhao Yuan responded, and as he spoke, he steadily drove the car toward "Zhao's Kitchen".

Before long, the car slowly came to a stop in front of "Zhao's Kitchen".

Zhou Jiefang and Gong Xianjin opened the car door and got out one after the other.

At that moment, a waiter standing at the door saw a car arrive and immediately rushed forward to greet it warmly.

"welcome!"

Upon recognizing Zhao Yuan as the person alighting from the car, the waiter's smile widened, and he hurriedly said respectfully, "Oh, it's you, boss!"

Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded to the waiter in response.

Seeing this, the waiter wisely took a few steps back and returned to the door to continue waiting for other customers.

Zhao Yuan then started the car again and drove along the road towards his own courtyard...

Zhao Nana was sitting on her little stool, eating intently, when suddenly, the sound of a familiar car engine reached her ears.

She immediately put down her spoon, jumped up from the stool like a nimble little rabbit, and ran towards the yard.

"Dad, Daddy!"

Zhao Nana shouted happily as she ran with all her might on her short little legs.

Her round body wobbled with each step, making her look incredibly cute.

Just then, Zhao Yuan parked the car. Upon hearing his daughter's call, a warm smile instantly bloomed on his face.

He quickly crouched down, opened his broad arms, and welcomed the little angel running towards him.

Zhao Nana buried her face in Zhao Yuan's arms, giggling incessantly.

Following closely behind Zhao Nana, Lin Fangfang, carrying a steaming bowl of food, called out breathlessly:

"Nana, you haven't finished eating yet."

Just then, Aunt Zhong carried Zhao Yina slowly out of the living room.

Seeing this, Lin Fangfang quickly scooped up a spoonful of fragrant rice and carefully brought it to Zhao Yina's lips, whispering:

"Baby Yina, come and have a bite of your food."

However, Zhao Yina mischievously turned her head away from the spoon, while waving her chubby little hand at Zhao Yuan, calling out indistinctly:

"Daddy, hug me..."

Seeing how eager the two children were to be close to him, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

He first held Zhao Nana firmly with his left hand, then used his right hand to gently lift Zhao Yina, and then strode towards the restaurant.

After entering the spacious, bright restaurant filled with enticing aromas, Zhao Yuan carried the adorable Zhao Nana to her special little dining table, then gently stroked her soft hair and said with a smile:

"My dear Nana, you are the most well-behaved and sensible child. You must eat your food properly by yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly turned around and gently and carefully placed Zhao Yina into the exquisite little cart that was placed next to him.

Then, he took the rice bowl from his wife Lin Fangfang and began to patiently feed Zhao Yina bite by bite.

The two lively and adorable sisters suddenly had a great appetite when they saw their beloved father return home to have dinner with them, and they ate with extra relish.

Zhao Nana sat upright at her own table, holding a spoon in her little hands, feeding herself delicious food spoonful after spoonful.
