*Ding.*
Jiang Ning sat on the sofa, and his phone chimed with a notification.
After reading the message, he thought to himself, *Old Master Tang is quite efficient.*
The message from Old Master Tang confirmed that he had already made the necessary arrangements.
This was the difference between a seasoned businessman and an amateur. Compared to Old Master Tang, the second-generation rich kid Wu Hanjun was in a completely different league.
He wondered how the Wu Family Head would react when he learned that his precious son, Wu Hanjun, had so easily handed over such a large order to the Tang family.
After all, special rare earth alloys weren't in high demand, but they were extremely profitable.
The Su Group's unusually large order was a golden opportunity for the Wu Group to make a killing.
Yet Wu Hanjun had threatened the client, demanded an apology, and even insisted on being entertained. Only a spoiled brat who spent his days carousing could come up with such a stupid plan, and to make matters worse, he had dared to throw a tantrum on the client's turf.
If the Wu family were the sole producers of special rare earth alloys in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, then their arrogance would be justified. But in reality, there were multiple factories in Kyoto capable of producing these materials.
At that moment, in a private room of a bar in Cangnan City, Wu Hanjun was casually enjoying the company of two hostesses, his arms around them as he basked in their attention.
*Ring, ring...* The phone suddenly rang. It was Wu Jian, the family head.
Wu Jian's voice was furious: "Hanjun, what exactly did you do to President Su of Su Group? His secretary says you initiated the cancellation of the order agreement and even threatened him!"
Wu Hanjun responded dismissively, "That's right, Father. I forced Su Meng to come drink with me. When she refused, I ordered the cancellation of the order. I'll make her kneel and beg me to produce the special rare earth alloys for her."
Meanwhile, in the living room of the Wu family in Kyoto, several senior members were gathered around the speakerphone. Hearing Wu Hanjun's words, they clenched their teeth in fury. *Is this idiot's brain stuck in the door? How could the Wu family produce such a brainless, debauched fool?*
Wu Jian, as the head of the Wu Family, was so furious that smoke seemed to be rising from the top of his head.
He had reluctantly put the call on speakerphone at the insistence of the family's senior executives.
He never imagined that his ne'er-do-well son, whom he'd indulged since childhood, would come up with such a rotten idea: forcing clients to accompany him for drinks and apologize before he'd agree to supply them.
Special rare earth alloys weren't exclusive to the Wu Family.
Wu Jian roared with rage, "You, you, you... Get to Su Group immediately and apologize! Now! Right now! You must ensure President Su continues the partnership with us, or I'll freeze every penny of your living expenses!"
"Dad, what's the big deal? It's just one order. If they don't place it, so be it. We don't need Su Group's business anyway," Wu Hanjun replied nonchalantly, one arm slung around a hostess, his face showing no concern.
"You worthless fool! Do you know Su Group's order was supposed to last three years? That's a massive profit! Do you realize how much money we'll lose because of your idiotic stunt?"
If Wu Hanjun were here, Wu Jian would have slapped him to death on the spot.
"Young Master Wu, are you done yet? Hurry up and come over!" A hostess beside him urged impatiently.
"Exactly! We've been waiting for you for ages, Young Master Wu," another hostess chimed in with a complaint.
"Alright, Father, stop nagging. I'm busy," Wu Hanjun said impatiently, hanging up the phone. He turned to the hostesses and said, "Come on, babies, let's continue."
The sound of Wu Hanjun's voice carried clearly to the ears of the Wu Family's senior members in the living room, their teeth grinding in fury.
"Family Head, if you continue to indulge your son like this, I think it's time you stepped down as Wu Family Head," Second Uncle Wu said angrily.
The other senior members of the Wu Family nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, uncles, aunts, and cousins. I'll handle Hanjun's affairs properly," Wu Jian said quickly, hurrying to apologize to the family elders.

Two hours later.
Su Meng was still immersed in a sweet dream, thanks to the massage Jiang Ning had given her that afternoon.
"Daddy, Mommy, please don't leave me, okay? Mengmeng will be so good, *wahhh*... Daddy, Mommy, Mengmeng loves you so much! Please don't go... *wahhh*..."
Suddenly, Mengmeng's room was filled with the sound of her crying in a nightmare.
Hearing her, Jiang Ning immediately rushed into her room.
He found Mengmeng lying in the bed where Su Meng had slept, her eyes tightly shut, tears streaming down her cheeks.
This was likely a common nightmare for children in orphanages.
Having grown up without love and maternal care, Mengmeng had suddenly found such loving "parents." The warmth of a family made her terrified of losing it all and returning to her lonely life in the orphanage.
"Mengmeng, don't cry, don't cry. Daddy's here. Daddy will always be by your side, protecting you."
Jiang Ning sat by the bed, holding Mengmeng's small hand in his and gently stroking her forehead, his face full of tenderness and concern.
Perhaps hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Mengmeng clutched his hand tightly, as if clinging to a lifeline.
"Daddy, please don't leave Mengmeng, okay? Mengmeng will be very good, I promise, and I'll be a good girl."
Mengmeng, still with her eyes closed, pleaded with a tearful voice.
Jiang Ning gently comforted her, "Mm, Mengmeng is the best girl. Daddy and Mommy will never leave you."
At that moment, Su Meng also woke up.
She walked to the door and saw Jiang Ning and Mengmeng, her heart aching as tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
She quietly entered the room, leaned against Jiang Ning, and reached out her slender, jade-like hand to hold Mengmeng's. "Mengmeng, don't cry, don't cry," she said softly. "Mommy is here too. Daddy and Mommy will never leave you."
As if hearing her mother's voice, Mengmeng slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she saw Jiang Ning and Su Meng, she immediately sat up and threw herself into Jiang Ning's arms, crying, "Daddy, Mommy! Just now, Mengmeng saw you driving away and leaving me behind. No matter how much I called you, you didn't turn back. I was so scared!"
Jiang Ning held her tightly and whispered, "Mengmeng, don't be afraid. You were just having a nightmare. How could Daddy and Mommy ever leave such a good girl like you? We'll always be by your side."
After a moment.
"Daddy, Mommy, what's a nightmare?" Mengmeng asked curiously.
"Mengmeng, a nightmare is when you dream about something bad while you're sleeping. That's what a nightmare is," Jiang Ning explained patiently.
"Then, Daddy, what's a dream?" Mengmeng continued to ask curiously.
Jiang Ning pondered for a moment before patiently explaining, "A dream is a physiological phenomenon that occurs when people are asleep.
It happens because the cerebral cortex hasn't completely stopped working, so it continues to generate dreams.
The content of dreams is sometimes related to our thoughts when we're awake, but most of the time, the images in dreams are illusory and disordered.
In other words, when you're asleep, you might feel like you're seeing real-life scenes, but they're actually fake.
Like how you just dreamed that Mommy and Daddy drove away and abandoned you. But in reality, we've been sitting by your bedside watching you sleep the whole time."
Mengmeng nodded, seemingly understanding. "Mengmeng understands now. The part where she saw Mommy and Daddy driving away was fake, right?"
Jiang Ning and Su Meng exchanged a smile and nodded in unison.
Jiang Ning smiled. "Alright, Mengmeng. Since you're awake, let's get ready to go home."
Mengmeng nodded obediently. "Okay."
