Wen Dajun nodded again.

“Fu Lei isn’t my godfather’s son, so you don’t need to have any pity for him.” Song Yan could tell that Wen Dajun was indeed grateful to the Zeng family. He shouldn’t misuse that gratitude.

Wen Dajun looked at Song Yan in surprise.

“Go do what I told you to do! You’ll find out for yourself that I’m telling the truth!” Song Yan said.

For Wen Dajun to be favored by his grandfather, he couldn't possibly be stupid. "You mean...you mean..." He didn't even want to voice his guesses; how unfair that was to Old Master Zeng!

Song Yan was very satisfied with Wen Dajun, firstly because Wen Dajun was willing to follow Song Yan's wishes. For example, when Song Yan told him to call him by his name, he immediately changed his address.

A few days later, Lao Zeng was going to send someone to Song Yan again.

Song Yan, that's strange. What do I need so many people for?

Old Zeng: "I was inspired by you, so I also asked around about my former subordinates to see how they're doing."

These two are really not very good.

Even if you don't need more people, just squeeze both of them in!

Our family isn't short of money; we don't need two freeloaders. Besides, they're not in a position to be freeloaders!

Old Zeng had put it this way, what could Song Yan say? He could only accept it.

He Shengdong worked in the factory, and Song Yan paid him generous wages.

Wen Dajun's salary for working for Song Yan wouldn't be low.

The Wen family also has a son, Wen Dawei, who is still in school, and his wife lives in the countryside. Life isn't easy for them. His allowance will be paid by Xiaohu from now on; it can't be interrupted.

Then there are the three members of the Quan family. They all have respectable jobs, and judging from their appearance, they are not short of money, so they probably don't want to take this kind of subsidy.

Actually, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the powerful old man, and his descendants can't do anything about it.

Song Yan sent Xiao Hu with gifts to visit them, instructing Xiao Hu to subtly convey that they were just friends. Maintaining the kind of relationship that Old Master Quan envisioned was unnecessary.

This is tantamount to taking money to disgust people, but Song Yan isn't being a jerk.

Actually, getting along better with them wasn't just the wish of those three old men. Old Zeng felt the same way too.

Through all those years of ups and downs, these old friends never forgot him.

Song Yan will definitely try his best to satisfy Lao Zeng. Just think of it as having a few more relatives to visit; it's very easy.

Song Yan lived a carefree and easy life. She had some things to do these past few days, so she simply didn't go to school or the hospital.

Ruomei came back and said that Grandma Qin had someone send her a gift to school, and Song Yan's gift was also included.

The gifts given to Shen Ruomei were the same as those given to Song Yan.

Pretty dresses and sandals, some precious southern medicinal herbs, and some southern specialties.

It is quite valuable.

Song Yan knew he should return the favor with a gift.

When cooking at home, you'll need to prepare an extra portion.

After Di Jianjun delivered it once, Qin's bodyguard Xiao Sanqiang would often bring some fruit or local specialties that some old subordinates had given to the leader to Song Yan's house to visit Zeng Lao.

Song Yan accompanied Old Han on his house call in the morning, since she was still receiving a hospital subsidy; she had to be dutiful. She spent most of the afternoon at home, and when Xiao Sanqiang arrived, she would definitely cook for him herself.

Xiao Sanqiang didn't care who cooked the meal; as long as it tasted good, that was enough.

As for school, Song Yan rarely went anymore. The teachers didn't even ask where he was, so who would?

Everyone unanimously assumed that Song Yan was working as Han Lao's assistant at the hospital.

While Song Yan was enjoying a leisurely life, Duan Xueting at the school was anything but.

Her grandfather was admitted to the hospital, and his condition was very bad.

Her father had pressured her several times, telling her to beg Song Yan.

Even if she knelt down and begged Song Yan, he might not agree, let alone now that Song Yan is almost nowhere to be seen.

Their family's relationship with the Shen family was really just so-so. Half of this was due to her, because she had never gotten along with Shen Ruomei since childhood. The other half was a bit hard to explain, but in any case, they weren't very close to the Shen family.

Otherwise, they could ask Shen Changchuan for help. Shen Changchuan is Wei Aiguo's biological father, and if he were to ask, Song Yan would likely give him some face.

His family was desperate, so they went to Chief of Staff Duan's house for help, hoping he could plead with Shen Changchuan.

Chief of Staff Duan would definitely not say that. Their relationship used to be quite good, but Duan Lijiang had bullied Wei Aiguo's younger brother back then.

At that time, Uncle Du mentioned that Shen Changchuan had always been very cold to his family.

Mr. Duan couldn't help but criticize his daughter, scolding her for offending people.

Seeing Duan Xueting being scolded, Chief of Staff Duan still gave them a warning.
