Chapter 82 The Name I Dare Not Sign
On Saturday morning, Shen Zongqian entered No. 1 Residence carrying a thick briefcase.

He asked the housekeeper, "Is the chairman home? I've been trying to call him, but his phone is always off."

The butler pointed upstairs and lowered his voice: "She's been with Madam since she came back early yesterday morning!"

Shen Zongqian hesitated: "Chairman, is it convenient for you now? I have something urgent."

The housekeeper smiled and said, "It's already past eleven o'clock. They've been up for a long time. When I brought the bird's nest upstairs, they were both in the study."

Shen Zongqian breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll go find him."

Inside the study, Jiang Manman was drawing design sketches, while Yan Changye sat beside her, one arm around her waist, pointing and gesturing at the design drafts.
“Madam, Miss Zhu is known for being short; this size doesn’t fit you.”

Jiang Manman glanced down at the client's data: "He's 165cm tall, how is he short?"

"Her real height is 149cm, and she wears sky-high heels every day," Yan Changye complained. "I heard it from Young Master Zhu. She lied about her height to you to save face. Just change the measurements according to my instructions, and you won't go wrong."

"You bunch of good-for-nothing men get together and talk about women?" Jiang Manman glanced at him with her almond-shaped eyes. "You didn't talk about me either, did you?"

"I wouldn't dare," Yan Changye replied seriously. "My wife is not for others to discuss. Anyone who dares to bring you into the conversation, I'll cripple them."

Jiang Manman didn't know whether she believed it or not, she gave a soft "hmm" and buried her head in continuing to draw.

Shen Zongqian stood at the door, watching Yan Changye wearing a dark silk nightgown. The nightgown was pulled open, revealing his sexy and alluring chest. He was leaning against Jiang Manman, whispering to her.

Shen Zongqian knocked on the door twice.

Yan Changye suddenly turned around, his peach blossom eyes showing a hint of disdain: "Why are you here?"

Shen Zongqian pointed to his briefcase: "There are some urgent documents that require your signature."

Yan Changye was somewhat annoyed: "Can't you see I'm busy?"

Shen Zongqian: "..."

He knew Yan Changye was busy, busy spending time with his wife, so he deliberately delayed sending the documents, which should have been delivered yesterday, by an extra night. But judging from Yan Changye's barely-clothed state, he clearly hadn't planned to leave his harem yet.

Shen Zongqian was inwardly furious, but his expression remained impassive. He respectfully explained, "Boss, it's really urgent. Several documents are scheduled to be implemented this afternoon, and we're just waiting for your final approval."

Yan Changye got up, slowly straightened his pajamas, and tapped the table: "Bring it here."

Shen Zongqian immediately stepped into the room, greeted Jiang Manman first, and then took out a large stack of documents from his briefcase.

Then, he divided the files into two piles, casually implying:
"The left side has the project documents for the capital city, and the right side has the documents for the port city. Boss, don't get them mixed up."

Have you reviewed all these documents?

"Yes, my legal team and I have carefully reviewed every document, and it is consistent with the terms discussed in the meeting."

"Okay, wait over there."

After Yan Changye finished speaking, he picked up a pen, opened the top document in the capital, glanced through it, and quickly signed it.

Jiang Manman glanced at it casually: "Aren't you going to take a closer look?"

“I trust Shen Zongqian and his legal team’s professional competence.” Yan Changye picked up the second document, flipped through it in a few seconds, and signed it. “I only need to look at a few key data points.”

Jiang Manman hummed in agreement, put down her own drawing, and handed him the third document: "I'll work with you."

A smile flashed in Yan Changye's eyes: "Alright then."

Ten minutes later, he had signed all the documents in the capital.

Jiang Manman naturally picked up the documents from the port city. She didn't look at the contents of the documents, but carefully handed them to Yan Changye.

Yan Changye casually took it, scanned it for only a few seconds, and then prepared to sign his name.

Jiang Manman stood beside him, resting her chin on her hand, gazing tenderly at the tip of his pen. Yan Changye's pen paused slightly.

Then, she said softly, "Madam, why don't you go to your bedroom and rest for a while?"

"No need, I'll stay with you." Jiang Manman gently reminded her, "The dot on your first stroke is too low; it won't look good on the character '宴' later."

Yan Changye: "..."

He paused for two seconds: "Then, I'll be more careful from now on."

After saying that, under Jiang Manman's gaze, he calmly wrote the character "谢" (thank you) in the direction of the banquet instead of the character he was originally going to write.

Shen Zongqian watched from the side, his expression stiffening slightly.

Jiang Manman had already picked up another document from the port city and placed it in front of him.

Yan Changye lowered his eyes and continued signing without changing his expression.

The signature still bore the three characters "Yan Changye," written with effortless grace, yet causing Shen Zongqian's heart to clench with each stroke.

After all the documents were signed, Shen Zongqian put them away with a complicated expression, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Assistant Shen doesn't look well. Is he too tired?" Jiang Manman glanced at him. "Wait here, I'll have the housekeeper bring over a bowl of bird's nest soup to help him recover."

After saying that, he walked out.

Yan Changye then slowly raised his eyes to look at Shen Zongqian, his voice extremely low: "Do you know what to do?"

The documents in the port city were signed with the wrong name, so all twenty documents have to be invalidated. What else can be done?
Shen Zongqian wiped his face and composed himself: "I will have the legal team reprint and send the Hong Kong documents immediately—but, Boss, time is really tight, please don't let Xie Yunxi sign the banquet..."

"When the documents arrive, wait for me in the car, and I'll sign them for you right there." Yan Changye paused. "I was in a bit of a dilemma just now too."

That night, I went to the old house again.

With Grandpa Yan's 70th birthday approaching, Yan Changye spent the entire dinner time listening to the housekeepers report on the banquet arrangements.

"The date is set for July. Remember to schedule it." Old Master Yan said to Yan Changye in a lukewarm tone.

Yan Changye gave a faint "hmm".

Old Master Yan continued, "I heard you've been fooling around in Gangdu again these days? You're almost thirty, and you haven't shown any of the composure you should have."

Yan Changye responded with an "Oh," and said, "Just mind your own business. You don't need to interfere with my lifestyle."

"You think I want to take care of you? I just don't want your mother to blame me for not raising you properly when I go down to see you in the future." Old Master Yan snorted coldly and turned to Jiang Manman, "You too, you don't know how to keep an eye on your own man. If he messes around outside in the future, you'll have your day."

Jiang Manman lowered her head and ate silently, without saying a word.

Yan Changye put down his chopsticks and said in a sarcastic tone, "I came here to eat, not to listen to you upset my wife."

After saying that, he asked Jiang Manman, "Do you still want to eat? If not, let's go now."

Jiang Manman handed his chopsticks to him: "Don't be angry with Dad. Finish your meal and then sit with him for a while later."

Yan Changye scoffed lightly, but did not continue to argue with Old Master Yan.

Looking at Yan Changye, who was acting rebelliously in front of him, Old Master Yan resumed his meal without saying a word, his expression softening slightly.

But it only slowed things down by two points.

Because, after dinner, while Yan Changye was chatting with Old Master Yan in the living room, Xie Jian suddenly called!
