Chapter 124 So That's It

Zhou Chenglei recognized it as Jiang's father's car, so he reminded Jiang Xia: "Dad's car."

Jiang Xia looked over.

The back door of the black sedan was pushed open and Jiang's father got out.

He asked the driver to stop the car because he accidentally saw his daughter and son-in-law.

Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia hurried over.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and Jiang Xia's straw hat flew off! Jiang's father saw it and quickly chased forward to pick up the straw hat for his daughter.

Zhou Chenglei also moved, but Jiang's father was closer and picked it up first.

He pulled Jiang Xia over, and they both shouted, "Dad."

Father Jiang responded with a smile, then put the straw hat on his daughter's head and tied the string for her like he did when she was a child. While tying the string, he said, "Why didn't you call in advance and come home for dinner when you came to the city?"

Jiang Xia smiled and replied to his father: "Today is a workday, and I thought you and mom wouldn't be home for lunch, so I didn't go back."

"Now that you're here, go home and eat." Father Jiang asked Zhou Chenglei again, "Alei, are you going to stay at home with Xia Xia tonight?"

Jiang Xia: "No, my father-in-law and uncle are also in the city, and we have to go out to sea tomorrow."

Father Jiang thought something was wrong and asked, "What are you doing at the newspaper office? Is there anything you need help with?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "We came to the city today to book a boat. I came to the newspaper office because I found a part-time job as a translator at a publishing house here and brought some foreign books back to translate."

Father Jiang was relieved and sad when he heard this. His daughter had grown up and learned how to earn money to support the family. She should have ordered a boat, which was stressful. He said, "It's good to buy a boat. Is the money enough to buy a boat? Dad has some savings..."

Zhou Chenglei: "That's enough, don't worry, Dad."

Jiang Xia: "Yes, that's enough."

Father Jiang smiled and said, "Okay, remember to speak up if you don't have enough money."

Jiang Xia asked whether Jiang's mother was busy, and then asked whether Jiang Dong had returned to school.

"Yes, I bought yesterday's train ticket." The father and daughter said a few more words.

At this time, Jiang's father's driver came over with a can of peanut oil, a bag of rice, a box of canned yellow peaches, and a box of moon cakes from the trunk.

Both sides greeted each other.

Father Jiang said, "This is the Mid-Autumn Festival benefit that Dad just received from his company today. You can take it home and eat it."

Jiang Xia refused: "No, there is still plenty of food at home."

Father Jiang would not allow any refusal: "It's just your mother and I at home now. Your mother's factory also provides benefits. We can't finish the food, so you can take it home. I have to go back to the company, so I'm leaving first. Be careful on your way home, and don't go back too late."

"Okay." Zhou Chenglei agreed.

Jiang's father had a meeting to attend, so he gave a few instructions and got in the car. Sitting in the car, he rolled down the window and waved to his daughter.

Jiang Xia waved when he saw it.

The car slowly drove into the street and drove away, but Jiang's father kept looking back at his daughter from the rear window.

Fan Lili walked out of the publishing house and went to drive the car. She saw the whole scene and was secretly shocked.

As someone who works in the media, it is impossible for her not to know Jiang's father, who is often in the newspapers.

What was the relationship between Jiang Xia and the other party? She was surprised when she thought that both of them had the surname Jiang.

No wonder Jiang Xia's French is so good, she has a family background in French! She was misled, and her niece was also wrong. Jiang Xia is not a daughter-in-law from a small fishing village, she is the little princess of our city! At this time, Zhang Fuyan ran to Jiang Xia and handed her an envelope, several foreign books and several tapes: "I almost forgot to give you this, these are the photos I took when I went to your house last time. Here are the books you wanted."

Jiang Xia didn't expect to find it so quickly. He took it and thanked her with a smile: "Thank you, how much is it? I'll give it to you."

Zhang Fuyan: "No, they are all old books used by my cousin."

At this time, Fan Lili's car drove over.

She rolled down the window, smiled and waved goodbye to Jiang Xia, more warm and friendly than before.

Zhang Fuyan will return to Beijing tomorrow. She told Jiang Xia to write to her when he has time. Then she got into her aunt's car, waved to Jiang Xia, and the car drove away.

Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei also picked up the things given by Jiang's father on the ground and walked towards the bicycles.

Jiang Xia held the bicycle while Zhou Chenglei was responsible for moving things onto it. The can of oil, the bag of rice, and the mooncakes were hung on the left and right handlebars of the bicycle. They were not very heavy, with the oil and rice each weighing ten kilograms. The mooncakes were the lightest. Then the box of canned yellow peaches and the books were placed in the bicycle basket. There were two cans in total, and half of them could barely fit in and were stuck.

After Zhou Chenglei put his things away, he took the bicycle and left with Jiang Xia.

Wen Wan pushed her bicycle out from the corner only after everyone had left.

Her face looked a little ugly.

I see!

No wonder Jiang Xia appeared in the publishing house and the translation fee was so high. It turned out that it was due to her father's connections.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

She finally understood that Editor-in-Chief Fan was giving money to Jiang Xia.

Regardless of whether Jiang Xia can translate or not, or how well she translates, she will earn more than herself.

Even though Jiang Xia couldn't translate, she was still praised to the skies by people from the publishing house. After all, they were trying to give her money.

Sometimes life is so unfair. In this world, many jobs can be passed down from father to son!

However, Jiang Xia won’t have much time to rely on her good background. In two or three years, Jiang’s father will fall from power, and Jiang’s mother’s garment factory will also go bankrupt. What else can she rely on?

Zhou Chenglei was so good to her and the people in the Zhou family were so tolerant of her, but that was also because of her background.

Just wait and see how everyone treats her in a few years!

***Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei left the publishing house and went to the department store.

Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin were waiting outside the door. They walked around and then came here to wait.

We all went to the jewelry store in the mall together.

The salesperson from last time still recognized Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei, and enthusiastically took them to Zhang Rong's office.

Zhang Rong saw them coming and hurriedly asked them to sit down. After everyone greeted each other, he said to Zhou Chenglei, "A Rui called me the day before yesterday and said he couldn't come because of something urgent. He said he would come to see you in a few days."

Zhou Chenglei understood that he must be going on a mission suddenly, "It's okay, second brother, take a look at how much this thing is worth?"

Zhou Chenglei signaled to his father to take out the things.

The silver had always been in the possession of Zhou's father. He felt that his youngest son's eyes were on his daughter-in-law, and he couldn't see anything else. He also had one deaf ear, so he was afraid that he might not know if he had lost it, and he was worried about Zhou Chenglei keeping it.

Zhang Rong thought they were here to sell pearls again, but Zhou's father took out a big thing from his snakeskin bag.

When this thing, which was as big as a small wash basin, was placed on the table, he was surprised: "Is this silver?"

Zhou Chengxin was also shocked! Zhou Chenglei nodded: "Could you please see how much it can be sold for?"

Zhang Rong said excitedly: "I'll take it and clean it and calculate it for you."

Then, Zhang Rong left with the silver.

Oh my god, there are so many good things in the sea. He no longer wants to be the manager of this jewelry store! (End of this chapter)
