Chapter 2110: Chapter 1357: Asking for Monthly Tickets!
“How did the discussion with Xiao Hong go? He’s about to graduate soon, it’s ti to start planning.”
High-level faculty dormitory allocated by Han City University.
Duan Zhongxin, the feudal governor of Han City Branch for Jiangcheng Jinhai, is rarely at ho.
Although not a mansion or villa, sitting next to his virtuous wife and obedient daughter feels like the ultimate happiness.
Of course.
Duan Zhongxin isn’t unable to afford luxury hos, he just has different pursuits. Known for transitioning from a university professor to the business sector, he’s undoubtedly different from ordinary entrepreneurs.
“Dad, just give a little more ti.”
Duan Xueying is peeling an apple, very skillfully. Don’t underestimate this detail; peeling fruit seems simple, but most girls from average families nowadays probably couldn’t do it.
What does it an to not have endured hardships.
It’s okay to live in a “lesser” house, but one can always hire more maids.
“Have you not done the ntal preparation yet? Is Xiao Hong really that stubborn?”
Mother Pang Lijuan chid in.
It seems the parents agree with their daughter’s relationship; breaking apart lovebirds is not a scene in every wealthy family.
“He said he’s worried about embarrassing and Dad.”
As Duan Xueying spoke, she cut the peeled apple into pieces, put them on a plate, and inserted toothpicks—how surprising it is for a prestigious young lady to do such manual work.
Pang Lijuan chuckled, “This kid, why does he think so much? Embarrass whom? Let’s see who dares to talk behind our backs.”
For his wife’s obviously self-serving claim, Duan Zhongxin, who lives a very simple life—or relatively simple—didn’t criticize.
He was the first to propose that Hong Xiaoyu join Jinhai.
As the top leader of Jiangcheng Jinhai, what’s wrong with helping his daughter’s boyfriend find a way in?
He used to be a professor and still holds a title at Han City University, but he’s not rigid.
Using power within limits isn’t a disgrace.
Tutors also help their students.
If you have power, why help outsiders instead of your family?
“He must be worried that joining Jinhai would ruin Dad’s reputation.”
Duan Xueying put the fruit plate in front of her parents.
“If Xiao Hong thinks that way, he’s underestimating your dad. Your dad may not like the flashy side of business, but he isn’t inflexible. Otherwise, Mom wouldn’t have married him in the first place. Helping Xiao Hong is helping his daughter, isn’t that just natural?”
Duan Zhongxin listened with a smile, his deanor elegant, indeed not fitting the traditional image of a businessman.
“Why not invite Xiao Hong over one day; Mom can talk to him herself if you can’t persuade him.”
“Mom, doing that will only add pressure on him. Even if he agrees to join Jinhai, he’d be carrying a heavy burden, not happy.”
Pang Lijuan saw sense in her daughter’s words and sighed, “Xiao Hong is still sowhat naive.”
Saying this, she inexplicably laughed again.
“But it’s also a good trait.”
“What does his brother say?”
After chatting for a while, Duan Zhongxin spoke leisurely and picked up a piece of apple peeled by his daughter.
Duan Xueying was surprised: “How did Dad know?”
“Do you think that just because you didn’t tell , I wouldn’t know? If you really wanted to keep it from , you should have picked a different place for dinner.”
Duan Xueying was enlightened, then said, “I was just worried about making it hard for Dad.”
“His brother? You an Jiang?”
Pang Lijuan understood: “Jiang ca to River City?”
“Now he should be called Mr. Jiang.”
Duan Zhongxin chuckled.
That young man once ca to the house with the newly appointed group sect leader, and, looking back, it didn’t seem long ago, but everything has changed.
With a cane and grass shoes, lightly surpassing a horse, who’s afraid, a life embracing misty rain!
The calligraphy on the wall was written by him. That day, he wanted to give it to the young man, but it was their first eting, so he said to take it after ten years.
Heh heh.
Why need ten years.
If it really takes that long, he’ll probably be unqualified to give it even if the other person wants it.
“Since he’s in River City, shouldn’t you entertain him?”
Pang Lijuan looked at her husband; although the Duan Family wasn’t a typical rchant family, it doesn’t an they don’t understand etiquette.
“I’d like to entertain him, but it depends on whether he’s willing and if it’s appropriate.”
“Dad, I think we should forget it. Sister Qianqian didn’t co this ti, no need to overdo it.”
“What do you an overdo it? Aside from the connection with Miss Shi, you’re in a relationship with Xiao Hong; we mustn’t be rude.”
Duan Xueying helplessly smiled: “Mom, it’s not that serious. Dating is a matter between two people, don’t complicate it.”
Duan Xueying implied sothing, and Pang Lijuan surely understood, pondering silently.
“Our daughter is right, a couple’s relationship shouldn’t involve too many others.”
Duan Zhongxin spoke.
“If you both feel it’s not a problem, then it’s not. As long as others don’t misunderstand.”
“Brother Jiang Chen is not petty.”
“By the way, what’s the deal between him and Miss Shi?”
Pang Lijuan probed her husband, but received the sa response as always.
“I’m not sure.”
“There are no outsiders, what’s unspeakable? Am I going to spread rumors?”
Pang Lijuan complained.
“I really don’t know. Would Director Shi report to ?”
Typical evasion.
Pang Lijuan rolled her eyes at her husband, “Forget it, you’re not cut out for business, more suited for intelligence work, your lips are sealed.”
