Lu Fan put down his phone and returned to the living room, sitting back down on the sofa.
My mind keeps replaying my younger sister's thoughts. Why does she always want money?
Jiang Manyue, who was already sitting on the sofa, looked at Lu Fan's tired appearance, and after what had just happened, her anger completely subsided.
"Honey, don't be angry. Where's Mom today?"
Seeing Lu Fan sitting on the sofa in a daze, Jiang Manyue thought he was still angry about what had just happened.
He quickly placed his hand on Lu Fan's shoulder and gently rubbed it a few times.
"You mean Mom? I talked to her yesterday. She won't interfere too much in our relationship anymore. I've already decided to let her go home for a few days, and she'll come back when your due date is closer."
Lu Fan snapped out of his daze and took Jiang Manyue's hands in his.
"Oh! How could you say that about Mom? She's only doing it for our own good. How heartbroken she will be if you do this. I don't care, we can't leave."
Upon hearing Lu Fan's words, Jiang Manyue immediately sat up and gave him a dressing down.
Wu Hui, who was passing by the living room, heard the conversation between the two from afar and saw her daughter-in-law speaking up for her.
My heart warmed, but then I looked at the suitcase I was holding.
After thinking it over, I decided it would be better to leave, so I quietly opened the door and left.
"Mom, don't go!"
Just as Wu Hui was about to reach the door.
Jiang Manyue turned around and saw Wu Hui carrying a suitcase, preparing to leave.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get all of Mom's luggage back."
Jiang Manyue saw that her husband was still sitting on the sofa, so she kicked him in the back.
"Mom, it was all my fault before, please don't leave. Yueyue needs someone to take care of her, and I'm still not comfortable with hiring outsiders to come here."
Lu Fan took the luggage from Wu Hui and pulled her towards the sofa.
Wu Hui sat down on the sofa, and Jiang Manyue smiled and urged Lu Fan to pour some water.
After pouring the water, Lu Fan stood to the side and watched his wife and mother start chatting.
Although they talked about embarrassing things from their childhood, at least their family was harmonious.
Even Lu Fan didn't expect that the conflict between his mother and daughter-in-law, which happened just a few days ago, would be resolved so quickly.
So the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship isn't as terrible as people say.
Suddenly remembering that there were still some things he hadn't told her, he took out his phone to call Secretary Ge.
After thinking about it, I realized that it's never as clear over the phone as it is in person.
"Mom, wife. I have some business to attend to here, I need to go back to Nancheng."
"Go, go."
Wu Hui and Jiang Manyue waved their hands dismissively when they heard that Lu Fan was leaving.
It's as if I don't belong in this family.
"Okay, all done!"
Lu Fan shook his head, sighed, and left the villa.
——
Three hours later.
Parking lot of Jiang's Group Building.
Arriving at the company entrance, Lu Fan was still looking at the company building, feeling incredibly emotional.
I used to have nothing, but now I can say that I have a great business.
Just as Lu Fan was about to walk into the company, a security guard blocked his way.
"Hello sir, you are not allowed to enter without a company work permit."
"Young man, it looks like this is your first day here. My name is Lu Fan."
Seeing that the young security guard wasn't angry, Lu Fan gave his name and continued walking into the company.
"Lu Fan? I don't know him. You're not allowed in without a work permit."
The young security guard watched as Lu Fan insisted on forcing his way in.
Gone were the initial kind words; instead, she directly placed her hand in front of Lu Fan.
“I’m the boss of this company. You can take your walkie-talkie and report to your captain. There’s no way he wouldn’t know my name.”
Being stopped time and time again, Lu Fan was getting a little annoyed.
He pointed to the young security guard's walkie-talkie.
"Captain, Captain."
The young security guard thought this made sense, and judging from Lu Fan's clothes, he didn't seem like someone who was poor.
If it really is the boss, then we're doomed.
After all, it was my first day at work, and I didn't even know my name!
Not to mention looks, it seems we can only ask the captain for help.
"What's wrong? Three of a kind!"
A lazy voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
There was also the cacophony of card-playing noise mixed in nearby.
"Captain, there's a guy named Lu Fan at the gate who says he's our company's boss and wants to come in without his work ID."
The young security guard truthfully spoke into the walkie-talkie.
"Boss? Is he here to cause trouble? The boss isn't even in Nancheng; he's at home with his wife. He's probably just pretending to be the boss to sneak into the company. Get rid of him! Don't touch him, I can handle it!"
The person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to care and continued playing their cards.
"Captain, do you think it might really be the boss?"
One of the security guards, who was acting like a big shot with the captain, asked the captain in a low voice.
The other security guards in the security room also gathered around, wanting to get the answer they were looking for.
"Absolutely impossible! The boss hasn't been to the company for days; he's in Guangcheng! A royal flush, a six-of-a-kind."
The security captain confidently played the last card.
He solemnly assured the people who gathered around him.
"Boss, how can you be so sure?"
“Someone upstairs told me that the boss has been away for a while, which is why we dare to be so outrageous.”
The security captain smoked a cigarette, casually looking around at the security guards under his command.
The admiration in his eyes made him feel a little smug.
"Even if the boss doesn't come, aren't there other leaders in the company? If they find out what we're doing, won't we be punished?"
The security guard thought about it and still felt something was wrong. What did the boss's absence mean? He didn't understand at all.
After all, I came with the guards outside, so I'm the one who'll be doing something that day.
He simply slipped two packs of cigarettes to the captain so he wouldn't have to stand guard.
"Kid, those guys upstairs who can actually manage us are all slacking off themselves. Why would they bother with us? And those higher up don't even look at us little minions."
At the entrance of the building, Lu Fan also heard what was being said on the walkie-talkie.
Angrily, he took out his phone and dialed Secretary Ge's number directly.
Secretary Ge was still sitting in front of the computer, busy processing the documents on Pinduoduo.
Seeing his phone ring, he said impatiently, "Hello, who is this?"
"Looks like you're really busy? You can't even recognize my voice."
"Chairman Lu, I'm working on that Pinduoduo file right now, and my head is a bit fuzzy, so I didn't recognize your voice."
Upon hearing that it was Lu Fan on the other end, Secretary Ge immediately realized who it was.
He quickly explained that he had said something wrong.
"I can't get in right now. Can you tell the security guard?"
After speaking unhappily, Lu Fan handed his phone directly to the young security guard.
"Hello, I'm a security guard at the entrance of the Jiang Group building. Who are you?"
