"Don't even mention it. I don't know what's gotten into Dad, but he just won't let me go to City A to develop my career. I heard that Luo Chen is doing really well in City A; it must be a great place to make money." Feng Tingjian said, his eyes filled with longing.

In his mind, if a fool like Luo Chen could run such a big company, then if he had the ability, he would definitely make a fortune.

Hearing her second brother's contemptuous tone, Feng Mingzhu thought to herself that if it weren't for her cousin Chen's reluctance to be too high-profile, he could have crushed all the Feng brothers into dust.

While thinking this in her heart, she said flattering words: "Second brother is so capable, he can definitely do it. But if Dad doesn't agree, don't force yourself, otherwise you won't be able to do anything without Dad's investment."

yes!

Without the old man's investment, nothing can be done.

Feng Tingjian immediately deflated like a punctured balloon. He was working at the company under his father's watchful eye, exhausted every day. He had only managed to get two days off to visit his sister, and he really didn't want to go back to that cage.

"Second brother, don't be too discouraged. Dad is doing this for your own good. Once you get the hang of things and have some power in the company, life will be much better from now on." Feng Mingzhu knew how her second brother was feeling, so she comforted him.

"I understand, Mingzhu. Even if it's just for you, I will try my best to get the power." Feng Tingjian thought that to give his sister happiness in the future, he had to have power in the Feng family; otherwise, nothing he said would make a difference.

After the two siblings exchanged a few more heartfelt words, Feng Mingzhu finally sent Feng Tingjian away.

After the person left, she let out a deep breath and muttered, "Idiot! Cousin Chen isn't as stupid as you!"

She knew from a young age that she wasn't her parents' biological child, and the lack of blood ties made her feel very insecure. So, as she grew older, she always tried to please her parents and brothers, hoping that one day she could own shares in the Feng family business.

However, the Feng family's shares are only distributed to the sons, not a single one to the daughters. All she can do is persuade her second brother, who has always taken extra care of her since childhood, to take the shares. That's why she doesn't want her second brother to cause trouble for her cousin Chen at this time, lest she end up losing to both sides.

Another reason is that Cousin Chen cares about her so much, and after Cousin Chen becomes truly powerful, he will bring her endless benefits.

She was silently calculating, unaware that her cousin Chen, whom she had always thought was hers for the taking, already had a partner.

...

Yawn, yawn!

After lunch, Luo Chen sneezed several times, but he figured it was probably because the little wildcat was talking about him with Peng Yanyan and the others, so he was still in a very good mood.

In a better mood, Yu Chao's attitude towards everyone improved significantly. Just for lunch, he not only received a bonus equivalent to half a month's salary, but also a high-tech watch that the company had just developed last month.

Jiang Kai was also given two extra days off, which made him so happy that he kept flattering Wang Fugui that he even wanted to leave.

After the meal, Luo Chen suddenly asked Wang Fugui, "You suddenly came here without saying what you want?"

Wang Fugui spat out the tea he had just taken a sip of.

After a moment's hesitation, ignoring Jiang Kai's warning, he revealed the purpose of his visit: "Brother Chen, I saw my cousin yesterday. She's not recovering very well, and that Sha Hua isn't as powerful as the rumors say. Her condition is only temporarily under control, and she'll have to keep taking medication."

Seeing Chen Ge's face gradually turn cold, Jiang Kai really wanted to kick him away.

Luo Chen, who was originally in a very good mood, turned pale upon hearing his cousin's news.

"Didn't the Feng family hire another doctor for her?" Luo Chen asked casually.

"I don't know about that. Why don't you call your cousin? She misses you a lot." Wang Fugui wanted Chen Ge to call his cousin; once the call went through, her mission would be complete.

Luo Chen took out his phone and found his cousin's number, but just looked at it without dialing.

Wang Fugui swallowed hard, his mind racing, urging himself to press the call button immediately.

Jiang Kai couldn't help but speak up from the side, "Brother Chen, have you mentioned your cousin's matter to your wife? It wouldn't be good if it caused a misunderstanding."

Luo Chen's eyes darted around, and after glancing at Jiang Kai, he agreed with what he said and nodded slightly.

"Alright, everyone get back to work!" He waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

“But, cousin…” Wang Fugui wanted to say something, but Jiang Kai pulled him out.

After kicking everyone out, Luo Chen sat there alone, still looking at his cousin's number.

He actually felt that his feelings for his cousin were somewhat complicated, stemming from gratitude and a bond he had developed since childhood. However, this feeling was different from that of Xiao Tuo. When he was with his cousin, he felt a suffocating pressure, but he felt very relaxed with Xiao Tuo.

He liked the relaxed feeling, which made him feel like a person, not a busy machine.

Jiang Kai is right. Regardless of how he felt before, he is now married.

He absolutely cannot have an extramarital affair. Although he doesn't need the 100,000 yuan, he still has his pride.

My cousin is being taken care of by the Feng family now, so she doesn't need another cousin.

But Xiao Tuo was different. Besides his sickly younger brother, he was the only one left. He didn't want to see her disappointed, nor did he want to see his grandmother sad.

Having made up his mind, he sent a text message to his cousin: "Take good care of yourself."

...

In the afternoon, Mo Xiaotuo and Zhou Tingting returned to the milk tea shop.

Duo Duo changed her attitude from the morning and looked at the two of them with a smile as if she had seen the God of Wealth.

Not only that, she also told her subordinates that Zhou Tingting and Mo Xiaotuo were Sister Yan's people and that they had to be taken good care of.

Everyone had no problem with the two of them, but because of Duoduo's temper, they didn't talk to them much in the morning.

When they went to work in the afternoon, Mo Xiaotuo and the others felt that the atmosphere was much better.

In the afternoon, Sister Yan wanted to take a nap. After lunch, Haozi was also sent downstairs. Haozi sat in the shop reading the newspaper, waiting for the shift change so that he could have a private talk with the other supervisor on the other shift, so as to avoid making many mistakes later.

After the shift handover was over, Haozi said goodbye to the two of them. He had other things to do that night, and he would have left much earlier if he were a normal person.

The supervisor of the other class was named Lin Yu. She was kind and steady in her work. She remembered all the instructions given by the boss.

She had been in the store longer than many others, but she was already very satisfied with being in the supervisor position. She was the previous candidate for store manager, but she declined, citing family matters as the reason. Haozi trusted her quite a bit.

"Tingting, Xiaotuo, just tell me anything you want to know. We're all just trying to make a living, so don't be so polite." She really liked the two pretty girls, and looking at them reminded her of her own naive self when she first graduated from school.

Seeing that Lin Yu was so quick to flatter the two of them, Duoduo went up to him and spoke ill of him as soon as he left: "Xiao Tuo, Tingting, you should open your eyes. You can only know a person's face, not their heart."
