Volume 1 Chapter 199 Father and Mother Sheng were surprised
There is no other way. Between a handsome man and money, she would of course choose... money!
Sheng Wanyan brushed her teeth, ran into the room with the toothbrush in her mouth, and put the passbook into her dowry box.
Gu Tingxiao was both amused and angry when he saw her acting so pretentiously.
He pinched his brows helplessly, took her out of the room and made her stand in front of the sink.
"Now that you're hidden, brush your teeth quickly. Breakfast is getting cold."
Sheng Wanyan nodded quickly, not realizing that she was becoming more and more like a child in front of Gu Tingxiao.
When you are with someone who loves you, you will be spoiled more and more like a child.

Chengdu Iron and Steel Plant:
"Master Sheng, the factory director is looking for you."
Mr. Sheng was busy in the workshop. When he heard the message from outside, he immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurried to the factory director's office.
He was so nervous. What did the factory director want from a small person like him?
Father Sheng thought of a hundred possibilities in his mind and kept thinking about his performance in the factory during this period.
During this period, Chen's father caused trouble for him from time to time. Chen's father was resentful of the fact that their family sent the youngest son of the Chen family to the farm.
Father Chen is also a capable man. Although he is not as good as Father Sheng at work, he is good at currying favor with others!
This is to curry favor with the team leader of the workshop, who is a relative of Chen's father who is many generations apart.
They are not related at all, but Mr. Chen is really a troublemaker.
I don’t know where Chen’s father found out about this, but he keeps calling us family members every day.
He also often gave gifts. I heard that one time, Chen's father gave away gifts worth half a month's salary.
Since the team leader accepted the gift, he naturally protected Chen's father. Therefore, Chen's father often made things difficult for Sheng's father at work, and the team leader turned a blind eye.
Mr. Sheng was too lazy to care about it. It was not worth it to lose his good job for such a person.
It’s no wonder that he admires Chen’s father very much. He is the only labor force left in the family, and there are several mouths waiting to be fed.
Even though the family has very little money left, they can still take out half a month's salary to give out gifts.
He couldn't help but admire him.
But today, the factory director came to see me, and I was really unsure.
Could this factory director be a relative of Chen’s father who lives several villages away?
Father Sheng took a deep breath. No matter what happened, he was doing the right thing and standing upright. He was not afraid of Father Chen's tricks behind his back.
"Boom boom boom."
"Enter."
Mr. Sheng entered the factory director's office, and no one else had any way of knowing what conversation was going on inside.
Mr. Sheng's legs felt light as he left the factory director's office. He had thought about getting promoted.
Hasn't he worked so hard for so many years just to get a promotion?
But he thought being a team leader was already pretty good, but he ended up... becoming the deputy director of the workshop all of a sudden.
Father Sheng’s mind was filled with the factory director’s last words: “You have a good daughter.”
Mr. Sheng was dazed when he came home from get off work. When Ms. Sheng came back and saw him looking absent-minded, she thought something had happened.
"What's wrong? Why do you look like you'd rather die than live?"
Father Sheng swallowed and looked at her with some difficulty in speaking. Mother Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
"My job has changed... I may not be able to be in the workshop anymore."
"What happened? Lost your job? Did someone trip you up?"
Mother Sheng was so anxious. Ever since Pan Yue became pregnant, she had been wanting to save more money so that she could leave some assets for the younger generations in the family.
"Is the Chen family trying to trip you up? I'm going to settle the score with them right now!"
After saying this, Mother Sheng looked furious and wanted to go and settle the score with the Chen family.
Father Sheng quickly pulled her aside to explain: "No! Wife, you are thinking wrong!"
Mother Sheng looked at him in confusion, and Father Sheng calmed himself down and spoke every word very clearly.
"Wife, I got a promotion!"
Mother Sheng blinked, came to her senses the next second, reacted immediately, and was filled with joy.
"Is this true? He has become the team leader?"
Mother Sheng has always known that Father Sheng is a hard-working and diligent man who has worked in the workshop for decades.
She finally got a promotion, how could she not be happy?
Mr. Sheng shook his head, and Mrs. Sheng didn't care what position he held, because a promotion was always better than a demotion.
"What is that? It can't be the director!"
Mother Sheng made a joke, and father Sheng looked at her and asked, "How do you know that, daughter-in-law?"
When Mother Sheng saw his expression, her eyes widened. She and Father Sheng had been married for so many years, and no one knew Father Sheng better than her.
She could tell what his expression and gesture meant.
"Lao, Lao Sheng..."
Mother Sheng stuttered a little and looked at him in disbelief.
"Deputy Director, Deputy Director of the Workshop."
"Wife...I was promoted to deputy director of the workshop!"
When Mother Sheng heard what Father Sheng said, she froze and didn't even blink.
She now felt that Father Sheng was completely hollow, as if she was dreaming.
"You... say it again..."
"My wife is the deputy director of the workshop."
Mother Sheng came back to her senses, her expression was full of excitement and her eyes were red.
"Say it again..."
"Deputy Director of the Workshop."
"Say it again!"
"Deputy Director, Deputy Director of the Workshop..."
When Mother Sheng heard this, she covered her face and started crying. Her husband’s decades of hard work had finally been noticed!
"Wife... Wife, please don't cry."
Father Sheng wiped her tears helplessly. Mother Sheng cried for a while and then stopped.
Listening to Mr. Sheng talking about what happened today, he was shocked to hear that it was because of his daughter.
"You said... because of my daughter?"
"That's what the factory manager told me."
Sheng's mother was very confused. What did this have to do with her daughter?
"No, I have to call my daughter to ask."
"What if she used the Gu family's connections? How will my daughter be able to hold her head up high in the Gu family in the future?"
Mother Sheng went out in a hurry, and father Sheng followed her out.
Just after Sheng Wanyan finished her meal, a soldier came to inform her that there was a call for her. Sheng Wanyan immediately guessed that it was her mother.
He quickly ran to the answering room, and sure enough, it was Sheng's mother who asked him with some concern.
"Mom, this job has nothing to do with the Gu family."
"What's going on? Do you want me to worry to death?"
Sheng Wanyan had no choice but to explain it to her again. Sheng's mother couldn't believe that her daughter was so talented in studying medicine.
Fortunately, my daughter met an old Chinese doctor and learned from him for a few years, otherwise her talent would have been wasted.
It was all because she and Father Sheng were too busy with work and almost ruined their daughter's great talent.
"Mom, you and Dad can rest assured about this job."
"Don't worry."
Mother Sheng was relieved to hear this, but she was also worried that if she subsidized her parents' home, the Gu family would have objections.
"Mom, everyone in my husband's family holds a high position, and there's no one suitable for this job!"
