Zhou Mufeng didn't want to be so old and still have his mother getting involved in everything.
In the past, he was oblivious to everything around him, focusing solely on his studies. Everything was arranged by his mother, and he was well protected. Now, he wants to handle these things himself.
Rumors stop with the wise; if they cannot be stopped, then we must find the source of the rumors.
Within two days, he caught the person in the company spreading rumors in person.
Zhou Mufeng remained calm and composed. He simply took out the person's attendance record and recent work situation, handed them over to HR, and told him to settle the accounts and leave.
He's not usually very strict. Some employees can get their work done without strictly following company rules, and he turns a blind eye to them being late or leaving early. Now he's just enforcing the rules.
"Zhou Mufeng, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little power now. I'm going to report you to the company!"
Don't think that just because you're always hanging around Mr. Lu's daughter, you can become his son-in-law. Take a good look at yourself; do you even have the ability?
The man was very dissatisfied and even tried to fight him, but was stopped by others.
Mu Feng smiled contemptuously, "If you're so capable, then make your move. If you injure me, see if you'll end up in jail."
Besides, I'm just following the rules and regulations; it really has nothing to do with the chairman's daughter. You can go if you want.
He then frankly told everyone that Tian Guangrong was not his biological father, and that he did not know who his biological father was because he had never asked.
He had thought about this question as well. His mother was pregnant and with Tian Guangrong, so there must have been some unspeakable reason. So many years had passed, and bringing up the past would only increase his sorrow.
Therefore, he never asked where his mother came from or where her hometown was, nor did he ever ask who his father was or why he abandoned them.
This was the first time he had revealed his background to a group of strangers... a background he himself didn't know.
Everyone was shocked and advised the man to stop being stubborn and apologize quickly, saying that he might still be able to salvage the situation.
Ultimately, Zhou Mufeng is not an unreasonable person; in fact, he is kind-hearted.
But that person was also obsessed, insisting on filing a lawsuit.
As a result, he went to the group but only made a fool of himself. He didn't even see Lu Wanqing or Huo Xiao. HR directly approved the dismissal letter submitted by Zhou Mufeng.
The Minister of Human Resources is a cunning old fox. The last time I saw Lu Wanqing and Zhou Mufeng chatting and laughing together, I could tell he was no ordinary person. Now he's in charge of the mobile phone business, and his future is limitless. He's not crazy to offend his boss for the sake of an ordinary employee.
If you don't even know this basic social etiquette, how could you possibly become the Minister of Manpower?
As a result, that person lost a high-paying job and was repeatedly mentioned as a typical example at the conference, warning everyone not to gossip behind people's backs.
They wouldn't dare. Their salaries are quite good now, so they wouldn't do anything so foolish.
...
In the following period, Zhou Mufeng led his team to work day and night, not only fulfilling all previous orders, but also developing some peripheral products, obtaining many patents, and attracting fierce competition from similar companies. One of the patents, which was about research on system positioning, sold for more than ten million.
Lu Wanqing was very satisfied with his recent performance and even started to soften her stance, allowing him to start dating Miaomiao.
Back then, her own family was also a mess, but Lin Ye stood firmly by her side. As long as he was sincere to Miaomiao and had the ability to make money, she had no reason to break them up.
After several months of intensive study, Miaomiao returned to the factory and began researching new dyeing and printing techniques.
Returning to her family, she realized how good it is to have a home. Before, she was a pampered young lady who didn't have to do anything and just waited to be called when it was time to eat. Now, she has even learned to cook.
She discovered that cooking was actually quite fun, and even fantasized about one day cooking a table full of delicious dishes with Zhou Mufeng for everyone.
The two began to meet more frequently, and whenever they had time, they would meet up to watch movies and have coffee.
"Miaomiao, I want to get married."
One afternoon, as the two were walking to the company after lunch, they suddenly spoke.
"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Miaomiao nudged his arm shyly.
Zhou Mufeng laughed and said, "We're not young anymore. Since we're going to get married sooner or later, why not enjoy family life sooner?"
When I saw your parents last time, I was so envious of how they had been together for so many years and were still so in love.
I believe I can give you that kind of happiness too.
If you aspire to be a successful career woman like me in the future, I will be there to support you.
If all you want is a place where you can shine and find warmth, then I'll don my armor and fight for it. While I can't acquire great wealth overnight, I can certainly provide you and your children with a comfortable life..."
Miaomiao was deeply moved by Zhou Mufeng's heartfelt words, and her eyes welled up with tears.
But the more I listened, the more something seemed off...
"Zhou-Mufeng, who are you calling a mother and her children? Where would I get these kids?"
As she spoke, she punched his chest with her little fist.
Zhou Mufeng grasped her soft hand and said earnestly, "I will report to Chairman Lu tomorrow and ask her how much dowry she needs."
“My affairs are my dad’s business!” Miaomiao deliberately provoked him.
"Then I'll also give a report to Uncle Lin."
The two joked around for a while and agreed to confront their parents as soon as possible.
When they arrived at the designated parting place near the company, both of them were a little reluctant to part.
Just then, an employee rushed towards them and said anxiously to Mu Feng, "Hurry to the hospital, something happened to your mother."
Zhou Mufeng's legs buckled, and he almost fell.
Miaomiao supported him as she said, "Explain yourself clearly!"
The woman said she didn't know either, but someone called saying it was extremely urgent and her mother had been admitted to the hospital.
Zhou Ling has been running a snack shop recently. Her assistants help her with the work in the mornings, so it's not too tiring.
How could he fall ill when he should be enjoying his life?
He thought that this illness was a warning, and he should not let her go out to work in the future. He was capable of earning money and supporting her was not a problem.
When he arrived at the hospital, he was dumbfounded. The words "Tumor Hospital" on the hospital wall shattered his spirit.
The word "tumor" is still relatively mild, but the haggard faces that passed by inside made him realize with a clear understanding that this place was a living hell.
Few of the patients who come here survive three to five years; in other words, his mother has at most three to five years to live.
When he finally found his mother's ward, his earlier breakdown was perfectly disguised; he remained calm and composed.
"Mom, I told you to rest more, but you must have gotten up early again, right?" He approached the hospital bed and began to scold her.
Zhou Ling had already woken up and was pointing at the IV bottle, complaining:
"Mu Feng, I just fainted for a moment, but they insisted on taking me to the hospital. I'm fine now and don't need an IV anymore."
