"Brother Jing, what should I wear to the party?" Su Tiantian sat in the passenger seat, and Liu Jingze came to pick her up from get off work on time.
Liu Jingze placed his slender fingers on the steering wheel, his simple movements appearing elegant. His lips curled as he spoke with a nonchalant air, "You can wear whatever you like. For business friends, celebrating birthdays early is just an excuse to socialize. It's all about eating, singing, and drinking, which can be pretty boring sometimes. So, on my birthday, I only celebrated with my family. They insisted on celebrating early."
Su Tiantian said, "There must be one or two true friends, right?"
Liu Jingze said, "Brother Bo and Ziyang will be there tonight. As for the others, just treat them as if you were Manager Su when discussing business. Speaking of which, I haven't met your friends yet."
Su Tiantian said, "You've met them, Brother Rong and Arong, and two more. We'll meet again sometime. I left the village to go to school in town after middle school, and later went to university in Kuozhou. I work there now, so I don't have many friends here anymore. I don't even recognize some of my elementary school classmates when I see them."
Liu Jingze said, "That's true. It's rare for a family like my father, father-in-law, and uncle to have such a good relationship since childhood for decades."
Su Tiantian said, "Isn't the friendship between Dad and his godfather even deeper?"
Liu Jingze said, "My father and my godfather have known each other for a shorter time than I have with my father-in-law, but their friendship is indeed deeper. They went out together and endured a lot of hardships. My godfather actually suffered a lot. Others only saw his glory today, but my father saw his downfall, his pain and embarrassment. My godfather said that in the eyes of his so-called relatives, he saw helplessness and boredom, but no family affection."
When talking about Liu Zhaosheng, Liu Jingze felt sad and bitter, his face was full of heartache, and his long eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes.
Su Tiantian said softly, "I feel bad for Godfather after hearing what he's been through. Fortunately, you're here. Godfather looks at you with the same eyes that dad looks at Zhihao. You and I will be filial to Godfather in the future, okay?"
Liu Jingze's mood recovered quickly: "The people you and I need to be filial to include grandma, dad, and my parents-in-law. Tiantian, you have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Grandma and godfather will be at home for breakfast."
Su Tiantian said, "How about I take the whole day off and spend some quality time with them? But since I'm accompanying Master Yuan on this business trip, the workload is a bit heavy."
Liu Jingze said, "That's not necessary. After breakfast, go to work. Didn't you take a leave for the afternoon? Take a good nap and then go to Siqi Farm for dinner tonight. We're scheduled for 6:30. You and I will go there a little early. That evening is our private time together."
Su Tiantian smiled sweetly: "My brother Jing is the birthday boy, he should be sitting here waiting for us to help celebrate, but he is so busy running around."
Liu Jingze's eyes were filled with endless doting: "Yes, and I have to pick up my wife Liu and my sister Tiantian several times a day. I have a driver, but I still want to come in person. I wonder what birthday gift Mrs. Liu will give me?"
Su Tiantian said: "My Mr. Liu, my brother Jing, your birthday is tomorrow and the gift will be tomorrow. I ordered a cake and I will pick it up tomorrow afternoon."
Liu Jingze said: "Then I will look forward to Mrs. Liu's gift."
Su Tiantian thought for a moment and said seriously, "Brother Jing, there's something I want to discuss with you. Young Master Yuan invited me to work at Dinghui Company in Yanfu Town. The position isn't sales manager, but finance manager. The salary is about the same as in Kuozhou City. Do you think I should go?"
Liu Jingze said, "Such good job benefits? The condition is not that Dad has to sell the land to Dinghui Company, right?"
Su Tiantian said: "Young Master Yuan said it's not about buying land. He is interested in my work ability. He and Mr. Lai came here to work and they need their own people. Mr. Lai will be the financial director."
Liu Jingze calmly analyzed: "What are you thinking?"
Su Tiantian said rationally, "I majored in financial management in college and had thought about working in finance in the future. I even worked hard to get my certification. It's not bad to be in business, but the hours are long and the pressure is high. I'm thinking of changing careers. The position offered by Yuan Shao is quite suitable for me. It's close to home and the salary is the same as in first-tier cities."
Liu Jingze said, "I still say the same thing. I respect your choice. You don't have to sacrifice your career for me or to take care of the family. Of course, I won't harm the interests of the Liu family for your current job. I can support you or arrange other work for you."
Su Tiantian looked at Liu Jingze in disbelief, her tone somewhat angry: "Brother Jing, don't you think it's a bit heartless to say that? Aren't you afraid that I'll be sad?"
Liu Jingze said firmly, "I'd rather you blame me than coax or lie to you. Dad won't sell the land to Dinghui Company for the time being, even if Young Master Yuan promotes you, transfers you, or even fires you."
Su Tiantian smiled cunningly, even laughing out loud, as if she wasn't the one who was angry and sad just now. "I know, Brother Jing, thank you for not coaxing me or lying to me. Am I stupid? In exchange for a job in exchange for selling the land, I might as well go home and be Mrs. Liu, the landlady, collecting rent. A month's rent for the factory is not bad."
