Inside the office of Liberty Mutual Insurance's Executive Vice President, Jiao Enfan, whom we hadn't seen for several years, appeared much more mature than before. Since selling Enfan's high-end TVs to Konka, he had returned to Wall Street and joined the second-largest insurance company in the United States, where he had worked for several years until he became the Executive Vice President.
Looking at his own article in the newspaper, he felt an indescribable sense of relief. He had lost many times since childhood, and Jiao Enfan was not someone who couldn't accept defeat, but he was particularly unwilling to accept losing to Lu Feng.
In his eyes, Lu Feng was a complete peasant, uncultured and uncultured. How could such a person compare to him?
But now this man has rushed out the door and entered the hall he is most proud of: Wall Street!
Upon learning of this, Jiao Enfan immediately contacted newspapers and paid for a spot to publish the article. He wanted to tell Lu Feng that he was also here, that this was not China, and that this was not the time for him to act recklessly and wield power.
Lu Feng woke up at eight o'clock in the evening. The lights outside the window were bright, and the streets were bustling with traffic, even causing a traffic jam. He felt as if he had returned to more than twenty years in the future.
After washing his face, feeling much more refreshed, Lu Feng calculated the time. It should be morning in China, and Duo Duo was currently on summer vacation. He hadn't asked about her situation for a while, so he picked up the phone and called back home.
Back home, at 7:30 in the morning, Jiang Xiaoyan had just gotten up. She had enrolled Duoduo in an extracurricular class during the summer vacation and was urging her to get up every day.
"Can you get up quickly?" Jiang Xiaoyan shouted, holding a feather duster in her hand.
"I don't want to go to class. I'm such a good girl. Can I skip class?" Duoduo rolled around in bed wrapped in a thin blanket, whining, "Mom, I think I have a high fever. I feel so awful! Oh no, I can't go on living."
"Don't give me that crap. If you don't want to get beaten, get up now. I have a meeting at the factory!" Jiang Xiaoyan walked in, ready to lift her up.
The phone in the living room rang, and Duoduo seized the opportunity to jump out of bed and say, "I'll answer the phone!"
"Who are you? I'm Duoduo! Are you Grandma? Are you Grandpa?" Duoduo's voice was full of hope. She longed to return to the village this summer and continue her happiness.
"Duoduo? It's your dad!" Lu Feng smiled unconsciously and said, "Are you on summer vacation already?"
"Daddy? Daddy!!" Duoduo confirmed it was Lu Feng, and the next second she burst into tears, sobbing, "Daddy, please save your poor child, I am tortured by this she-devil every day..."
"How dare you talk like that, child? Who taught you to do that?" Jiang Xiaoyan came out and scolded.
"Don't talk nonsense. Dad is abroad right now. I'll come see you when I get back. You have to listen to Mom. Dad will bring you a present when he comes back. After this summer vacation, you'll be a big kid in second grade, okay?" Lu Feng said into the phone.
"But I want to go back to the village. My mom signed me up for an extracurricular class and forces me to attend every day," Duoduo said with red eyes. "Could you call Grandma and ask her to take me back to the village?"
"What are you going back to the village for? To fry cow dung again?" Lu Feng was speechless at the kid's words, but then he thought about it and realized that everyone likes to go back to the countryside when they were young.
Jiang Xiaoyan took the phone and asked, "Why are you calling?"
"I was just checking in on the kids. Have you been busy lately? How's the factory?" Lu Feng leaned back on the sofa, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his face. "I'm in the US right now. I'll bring you something when I get back."
“No need, this thing is driving me crazy. I’m thinking of having another one all the time, and I get angry with her every morning,” Jiang Xiaoyan told Lu Feng, expressing her grievances.
"Alright, alright, if it really doesn't work, just send it to your mom's," Lu Feng suggested.
“I want to send her too, but how can I? She is like this now… she is like this now.” Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes reddened. Duoduo is now completely unloved by her maternal grandparents and uncles. If she were Lu Feng’s biological daughter, she could be sent to Lu Feng’s parents, but now there is no way to send her there.
Lu Feng sensed her predicament and sighed. This family was truly broken. He said, "She doesn't like it. If you really can't handle it, just take her to work with you. I'll take care of her for a while after I return to China."
"You go ahead and do your thing, enough with the talk. I'll hang up now." Jiang Xiaoyan didn't want to chat anymore. She put down the phone and looked at Duo Duo's red eyes, her heart softening. She asked, "Is going to school really that painful?"
"I talked to my teacher, and I said that my feelings about going to class are similar to her feelings about going to work," Duoduo sobbed.
"What are you feeling?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, puzzled.
"Everyone's thinking, 'I might as well just die.'"
Jiang Xiaoyan was amused by her. Although this girl could be infuriating at times, she could also be incredibly cute and heartwarming. Jiang Xiaoyan squatted down and looked at her, saying, "You either go to class or come to work with me. My work involves meetings and all sorts of discussions, so you have to be quiet."
Duoduo nodded heavily and said, "I go to work with my mom. I've been going to work with my mom since I was little. I used to work in the factory. I'm a very good girl."
When Duoduo brought up the past, it instantly brought up Jiang Xiaoyan's painful memories, and tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll take you to work."
"I might even be able to give you some business advice," Duoduo said, wiping away Jiang Xiaoyan's tears.
Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Feng hung up the phone and sat on the sofa in a daze. Duo Duo was really a tough child. Before Lu Feng could recover, the phone rang again.
"Who is it?" Lu Feng thought it was Duo Duo calling again to cry to him.
