Zhang Qiang was practicing Tai Chi on the balcony, just in ti to see his grandson leave ho. After a few words of advice, he watched him go.
Zhang Yu had originally thought the old man would be worried, but didn’t expect him to be so unconcerned.
Turning to Han Yu, "Mom, look at Dad, he’s just so unconcerned."
Han Yu pouted, "Yeah, your dad is unconcerned, that’s why he ran to the balcony."
"From our balcony, you can see Xiao Xuan heading to school." Han Yu was sure Zhang Yu didn’t know this, otherwise he wouldn’t have said it.
What? Can you see the road from here where our son goes to school? Zhang Yu really didn’t know, so he rushed to the balcony, and after a while, saw Lin Zixuan with his backpack coming out of the corridor, then watched him head towards school.
Along the way, he also saw quite a few students wearing the sa uniform, but they were in groups, chatting and laughing as they walked to school.
After a while, he saw his son enter the school, and Zhang Yu turned back into the house, "Mom and Dad, I also need to go to school today to register, do you want to go to Harbor City University?"
"You’re already an adult, there’s nothing for us to drop you off for." Han Yu indicated they were busy today, "We need to cross the border, there’s a gathering over there."
"By the way, we’ve planned to et old classmates, we’re going on a road trip to Beijiang." After retiring, Han Yu and his peers often arranged to travel together.
They hadn’t traveled for a while, first because Zhang Yu had just divorced, and they were worried she might be feeling low, and then they moved to Harbor City, which made them even less reassured.
Now it’s all good, nothing to worry about, the maid does a great job, even if their daughter is too busy to do housework, there’s no need to worry the house will be ssy, or that their precious grandson won’t have food when he gets ho.
Zhang Yu said, "Okay, have fun, but can you really do a road trip?" A road trip to Beijiang would take quite a bit of ti, yet these older folks with their aging bodies are actually able to handle it.
"We’ve contacted people over there, we’ll pay, for a short trip we’ll drive ourselves, but for a long journey like that, forget it." Han Yu said that they would rather spend money to resolve these things.
Upon hearing that they would hire a driver, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Sure, if it’s sothing money can resolve, don’t skimp."
"By the way, do you still have money?" Although that’s what he said, Zhang Yu quickly transferred one hundred thousand to his parents.
When Zhang Qiang received the transfer notification, he looked up at Zhang Yu in surprise, "We have money, there’s no need for you to send us money."
"I have money, I just landed a big contract last night." Of course, good news should be shared with parents.
When he ntioned landing a big contract last night, Zhang Qiang quickly made the connection, "Lin Yu’s side?"
Zhang Yu confird it, ntioned a na, and Zhang Qiang was genuinely surprised, "Don’t tell you’re planning to take on this project."
Zhang Yu shook her head, "I’m not going to compete to take on this project, I’m just helping them with a plan, I can’t guarantee that I’ll definitely get it."
Zhang Qiang knew about this project; it’s currently a hot topic, "Even foreign investnt banks want to join."
"No matter the foreign investnt banks, Dad, even the Han family’s main branch wants to join. I heard Mr. Han personally ca out to cheer for their side."
"Given the situation, how can I guarantee I’ll definitely get the contract?"
"I wouldn’t think like that, and besides, updating the proposal will all require paynt." Zhang Yu briefly outlined the scope and fee standards for this responsibility.
Zhang Qiang had heard Zhang Yu ntion the fee standards once before and hadn’t expected the price would go up so much this ti, "They actually agreed?"
Han Yu also found it quite unbelievable, even cheaper fees were understandable, but such expensive charges, "Why can’t they just do it themselves?"
"If they could do it themselves, do you think Han Xue has the capability, or Lin Yu has the ability?" Zhang Yu laughed.
"They don’t have the ability, and they wouldn’t want to hire soone capable, as Lin Yu is a petty person, he’s worried that people will find out he’s not actually competent, then how can he continue to fool people in the future."
"With his lack of ability, and subordinates who aren’t skilled either, how can they solve this apart from outsourcing."
"They can’t randomly hire a foreigner, what if their secrets get leaked, wouldn’t that be disastrous."
"So , even if my fee is high, at least I have professional ethics, everything is handled efficiently once the paynt’s in place, and I won’t argue with him."
"In short, Mom and Dad, just have fun while you’re out; I’ll take good care of Xiao Xuan." Zhang Yu assured them that they could enjoy their trip without worrying about the ho front.
Seeing Zhang Yu’s excitent, Han Yu could only feel at ease.
Zhang Yu hurried to the agreed location with a backpack, "Sorry."
Lin Yu didn’t expect to see Zhang Yu with a backpack, it reminded him of when they were in college; she used to run about with a backpack as well.
Han Xue glanced at Zhang Yu’s backpack, noticed how youthful she seed, even though she was older than her, she still gave off a sowhat younger vibe.
She then looked at Lin Yu’s face, not surprised to see his astonished gaze, and viciously pinched his flesh, signaled him to focus.
"Why are you just arriving?" After suppressing Lin Yu, Han Xue expressed her dissatisfaction with Zhang Yu’s lateness.
"Sorry, traffic was bad." Admitting her lateness, Zhang Yu briefly explained, "If the contract looks good, let’s sign it."
She glanced at the ti; it was getting late. She wondered how the young man was adjusting to his first day at school.
Han Xue was about to say sothing, but didn’t expect Zhang Yu to be so straightforward, leaving her no space to speak, which really annoyed her.
"What kind of attitude is that? I’m telling you you’re late." Han Xue raised her voice.
"I was late, and I did call before. I thought registering today would be quick, but didn’t expect it to be quite busy on the first day."
"Then I realized it was late, so as soon as I exited the school gate, I imdiately hailed a taxi, who knew there’d be traffic."
"Seeing the situation didn’t look good, I imdiately called for guidance." Zhang Yu explained politely, "If you feel that what I said isn’t enough, then let’s not sign the contract."
"After all, you’re unhappy with , and I’m not pleased with you either." Zhang Yu stood up directly, "Tonight’s al is on ."
She prepared to settle the bill and leave, why stick around to hear Han Xue ramble on? She hadn’t co to indulge Han Xue.
Han Xue made a fuss for two reasons: firstly, waiting annoyed her, especially waiting for Zhang Yu made her even more upset.
The other reason was that she wanted to use Zhang Yu’s lateness as a way to negotiate a discount on the service fees, but who would’ve thought Zhang Yu wouldn’t play by the usual rules, leaving Han Xue feeling disgruntled.
