"Brother, if you need me, just tell me."
Ye Junbo lowered his voice even more. Although this was his father-in-law's private territory and much safer than the Lan family manor, he was still cautious.
"Although I accompanied Qingqing back alone, many things can be arranged with just a phone call."
Zhou Han asked the daughter of the Huo family for help and was entangled by the other party. Since he was already entangled, he didn't care if he was entangled for a little longer. Ye Junbo didn't feel guilty at all about using Zhou Han.
Zhou Han was not completely indifferent to the daughter of the Huo family, but he felt that she was too young, just twenty years old. Zhou Han and Ye Junbo were about the same age, but he was much older than the other. It could be said that Miss Huo could call Zhou Han uncle.
Therefore, Zhou Han suppressed his affection for Miss Huo and treated her as a child. He would not ask Miss Huo for help unless it was absolutely necessary.
Lan Zheng knew that his brother-in-law's special assistant, Zhou Han, was a capable person. He said, "You've been helping with the investigation and evidence collection. For now, stay with Qingqing for a few days. After the banquet, your Fengchen branch here will also be up and running."
"Um."
"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you when I need you."
Lan Zheng patted Ye Junbo on the shoulder and said, "Your special assistant is very capable, and the Wenren Guard beside Ouyang Yu is also a capable person."
He also has confidants in the company, but they are not as close as Zhou Han and Wenren Wei.
"Ouyang Yu spent a lot of money before, trying to poach Zhou Han. I also wanted to poach his Wenrenwei, but both of us tried but failed."
Zhou Han is Ye Junbo's special assistant. He has outstanding abilities and is deeply trusted by Ye Junbo. The same goes for Wen Renwei. Ye Junbo admires Wen Renwei and wants to poach him so that he can be even more powerful. Unfortunately, he failed.
"elder brother."
The two were chatting about business, and Mu Qing couldn't help but interrupt.
Both men looked at her.
"Brother, I think our mom is too bored at home. There's so much scheming and noise at home all day long, and it really affects her mood. I want to invest in a store with her so she can have something to do and not be too bored."
Ye Junbo agreed.
Lan Zheng, however, looked embarrassed and said, "Dad won't agree to let Mom open a shop outside. A woman who marries into the Lan family can only stay at home to take care of her husband and children. Even if she can socialize, it's to accompany her husband."
"Even if they have income outside, it's mostly dowry, which is from shops and houses given by their parents, which are rented out."
Mu Qing frowned. "Didn't they say that when grandma was young, she was also a powerful woman who dominated the world?"
"You also say she's grandma. People like her can do whatever they want, but they won't allow their daughter-in-law to show up in public."
Mu Qing: “…” That’s right, her grandmother is very selfish.
She kept her husband very close, but always asked her mother to be magnanimous and accept that her father had affairs with other women outside. She was just short of asking her mother to agree to her father having a mistress outside.
"If I open a shop, the old lady won't say anything to me, right?"
"My granddaughter will definitely be treated better by her than my daughter-in-law. Dad also said that his private property is divided equally between you and me. You can open a shop or invest in a company. The old woman won't say anything."
In the old lady's mind, her granddaughter is raised by her own family, while her daughter-in-law is raised by someone else's family, so she is naturally partial to her granddaughter.
"Then invest in a shop in my name. I see Mom is very interested in beauty care and jewelry, so I'll invest in a beauty salon or jewelry store."
Mu Qing also doesn't like staying at home every day.
Anyway, the third room has been messed up, and the second room won't be quiet for a few days. Let them fight each other first. She will take some time to buy some property outside and make some money. She can live better than the second and third rooms. This will be the best revenge on them.
"What are you talking about, Mom?"
Shen Yimo brought out a plate of cut fruit and placed it in front of his children.
"I was saying that my mom has taken good care of herself. She looks the same age as me. We look like sisters."
Mu Qing praised her mother and pulled her mother to sit next to her. Ye Junbo silently moved his seat.
Shen Yimo tapped her daughter's mouth with amusement, "This mouth is as sweet as honey. What was Mom's condition in the past? How could she maintain it?"
"Auntie Ling helps Mom use skincare products every day."
Lan Zheng took over.
He thought it was his father's intention.
"Mom, do you want to open a beauty salon or a jewelry store?"
Mu Qing went straight to the point.
After Shen Yimo invited her son-in-law to eat some fruit, she replied softly, "When Mom was young, she studied jewelry design. She used to have a job and designed several popular jewelry. Later, she married your dad and quit her job."
She sacrificed her career for her marriage.
Before marrying Lan Rui, she knew that women who married into the Lan family could not show up in public to do business.
Because she loved Lan Rui so much, she endured it, accepted the old lady's request, and accepted the rules of the Lan family.
"Mom studied jewelry design."
Mu Qing was surprised.
By the way, she really doesn't understand her own mother.
After all, it has only been a few months since the mother and daughter recognized each other.
"I've been interested in jewelry since I was little, and later studied jewelry design. However, I neglected it for so many years that my mother can't even pick it up now. However, opening a jewelry store hasn't affected me. I picked up a pen and slowly rediscovered my feelings and inspiration."
When talking about career, Shen Yimo's eyes brightened a lot.
"Mom, then we can open a jewelry store together. When I have inspiration, I can design some jewelry. When I don't have time, I can just look after the store and kill time."
Shen Yimo thought for a moment and said, "You have such a plan, so Mom naturally supports you. Let's make some plans after the banquet. Qingqing, since you want to invest in a jewelry store, when you hold the banquet in a few days, you should make more friends. The ladies in Wangcheng's upper class usually like to buy jewelry, bags, get beauty treatments, travel, and so on."
Because they have too much money and have no place to spend it, and they are idle at home. Apart from shopping, hosting parties, traveling, beauty treatments, etc., there is nothing else they can do.
"Mom, the jewelry store is under Qingqing's name. If you invest in it, grandma will scold you when she finds out, and dad doesn't like you showing up in public either."
Lan Zheng instinctively reminded his mother.
Chen Yimo was still gentle, but her words were cold. "Why should I care about their expressions when it comes to what I want to do now? What does your father like or not have to do with me? Zheng'er, don't think of your mother as your father's appendage in the future."
"I'm your mom and I'm independent! I'm no one's pendant! Also, don't adopt the old-fashioned ideas of the men in your family. You should learn from Junbo, or your wife won't divorce you in the future because she doesn't have freedom."
Lan Zheng: ...
