Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Even though they had met before, it was not an official meeting between them.

But this time was different, appearing before Jane as a father, it was imperative for Jane to take it seriously.

“I understand, no need to remind me. I will be at the airport half an hour early.”

“Finish lunch, then head straight to the airport. But how should we arrange the evening? Should Father stay and eat at our home, or should we book a hotel?”

Jane was quite meticulous about this. She didn’t know Patrick’s father’s personality, so she had to make arrangements according to his preferences. If he enjoyed the warmth of a family environment, staying at home would be most suitable.

If he preferred a quiet environment and disliked children’s noise like other elderly people, then they would need to book a villa or a hotel.

After all, the other villa was still empty.

As for meals, it was the same principle. It all depended on how Patrick’s father chose. Jane just needed to follow the instructions. Patrick thought for a moment and informed Jane.

The first night they would definitely stay at their villa, and then they would make the other villa available for Father to stay for a while.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Because the two villas were very close, Father could watch the children closely. Of course, he had his own house in the city, but it was a bit far from the children.

So this arrangement was the best. As for dining, Patrick thought they could eat out; there was no need to eat at home.

Because over the years abroad, Patrick’s father was no longer used to Chinese food, so having Chinese food at home was out of the question.

But if they were to have Western food, Patrick’s house chef was not adept at it, so they had to eat out.

After hearing this, Jane immediately informed Patrick that she would make a reservation at a restaurant in advance. After chatting for a while, Jane hung up the phone.

Jane was contemplating the outcome of having another father figure in their lives. She was sure Patrick would be happy and excited. From Patrick’s tone, she could tell it was a good thing.

A family without a beloved elder was incomplete. With Beatrice in prison and Mike gone, the only elders close to Patrick were a few uncles and Harrison. But due to past business dealings, there was some friction with the uncles. Even though the relationships had been mended, it would take time to fully reconcile.

Now with Patrick’s father present, Patrick could still feel the care of an elder. With Father’s involvement, the relationship between Patrick and his uncles might repair faster.

Thinking of this, Jane smiled. She knew that children needed the care of their grandparents. Now with Patrick’s father back, perhaps there was a chance. Jane did not want any lack of affection in the family.

However, sometimes things were beyond Jane’s control, but now that there was a satisfactory solution, Jane knew what to do. She picked up the phone, made arrangements with her assistant, and then went to check on the children.

Early in the morning, Patrick went to see his father, who was ready. After breakfast, they were to head to the airport.

Jane was preparing in China. She had already sorted out the company’s affairs early in the morning and informed all departments that the partners might visit for an on-site inspection, so everyone needed to be prepared.

After giving these instructions, Jane called her assistant to the office.

“I expect someone from the partner company to visit tomorrow or the day after, so you need to be careful in everything. I don’t want any flaws in other aspects of the company, which might lead to criticism. I want this to be a pleasant inspection and exchange.”

Jane knew the importance of maintaining family relationships and business partnerships. Patrick had once mentioned that the reason his father had not revealed his identity and had invited him abroad was due to the potential influence. Jane did not want to negotiate with emotions in such situations.

“I understand. I will inform all departments. They have already started preparations, and this afternoon, I will review all departmental work again. When it comes to areas related to the cooperative project, I will personally inspect and double-check to ensure there are no issues that could affect our cooperation.”

Jane nodded. The most crucial departments concerning the cooperation were the Business Department, Human Resources Department, and Sales Department. If the company did not showcase its strength, the investment might not be convincing. Even if there was money, without overall strength, the other party would not trust them.

And Jane was sure it wasn’t just Patrick’s father coming. Most likely, his company’s other personnel had already begun preparing. Even their overseas branch had been surveyed. They would not overlook the headquarters; this was the standard process for collaboration and investment.

“After this, confirm with the head of our overseas branch whether the partner company has sent someone to our headquarters or when they plan to do so.”
