Chapter 1139 What a Powerful Mouth
Little Baichuan was awakened by his mother and knew that he couldn't continue to push his luck. A rare look of embarrassment could be seen on his chubby little face.
The little fellow hid his embarrassment by covering his mouth and laughing, and didn't need anyone to coax him anymore, and went towards the study room by himself.
Lu Miao couldn't help laughing.
Minmin subconsciously wanted to move, but Lu Miao held her back and carefully instructed:
"Please take care of your younger brother and make sure he doesn't tear up Shi An and the others' books."
Minmin nodded, and Lu Miao let her go.
After arranging everything here, he turned around and asked Tang Mei, who had come in with him out of worry, to take care of other things. Only then did Lu Miao look towards the other end of the coffee table.
Father Min, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit and with a solemn expression, sat upright. His serious look even broke some of the warmth in the living room.
Tang Mei had just served tea, so Lu Miao just made a cup for himself.
"Sorry for the long wait,"
Lu Miao was calm and composed. He sat down opposite Father Min with a cup of tea in his hand and got straight to the point:
"You came here this time because of Comrade Min's matter, right?"
Father Min glanced at Lu Miao, guessing that she had some understanding of his identity, and then he relaxed his expression slightly and nodded.
"Yes, I am Qiaoqiao's father, and I came here just for Qiaoqiao's matter."
Lu Miao smiled calmly, nodded slightly and said:
"You say."
Father Min admired her calmness.
But thinking of the important matter, Father Min withdrew his thoughts and said in a calm and serious voice:
"It's not the right time to come, but this isn't the first time it's happened, so I thought I'd come over and ask Comrade Xiao Lu what he meant."
Lu Miao took a sip of tea and nodded for him to continue.
Father Min frowned, feeling a sense of suffocation in his heart, but he could only continue:
"Qiaoqiao told me that she used to work in the same unit as you, but she had to leave because of you. This time she found a new job, but she has to leave again because of you... Comrade Xiao Lu, don't you think you should give a proper explanation for this matter?"
Lu Miao calmly put down his teacup and asked instead of answering, taking the initiative to throw the question back to Min's father:
"As her father, you understand Comrade Min's character better than anyone else. So before you said this, didn't you consider whether your understanding was comprehensive and true?"
The reason why you come here with so many troops is simply because there is a fire at home.
There is no need to think too much about how Min Qiaoqiao would exaggerate and complain.
“…”
This statement hits the nail on the head.
Father Min was stunned by what Lu Miao said.
How could Father Min not know about his own daughter?
Although Father Min was not clear about the general situation, he had to give the Buddha the face no matter what.
It's fine if it happens once, but if it happens again a second time, Lu Miao doesn't have to be so intolerant of their child.
Father Min's posture remained unchanged, but his tone had to soften again:
"Qiaoqiao is still young after all, so it's natural for her to get carried away. Young people should always be given time and opportunities to learn and make mistakes."
"Comrade Min has been out of school for two years now. I've seen her profile before, and she's about 24 or 25 now. Is that still young?"
Lu Miao looked directly at Father Min and said calmly:
"She's already this age. If you don't teach her some things, there will naturally be others in society who will teach her."
Father Min frowned even deeper.
Although he knew that what Lu Miao said made sense, Father Min had already tried to plead for mercy in a tactful way, but Lu Miao still showed no mercy.
This really made Min's father, who had been proud for most of his life, feel embarrassed.
There was a brief silence. Father Min stared at Lu Miao with his eyes, and his words gradually became less polite:
"With a background like ours, how many of us haven't protected our families and children? Comrade Xiao Lu, do you dare to say that you didn't use your father's connections to get to this position?"
Lu Miao smiled calmly, and the aura he exuded could be summed up in two words: confidence!
"No, really. To be honest, Director Ma of the Chongwen Translation Institute had already spotted me before I returned to the city and started university."
If the letter of recommendation had not been stolen, she might have been admitted to the British Society earlier than now.
As for family background?
Other people’s family background may be icing on the cake, but hasn’t her family brought enough doubts to her career path?
Judging from her current position, she really didn't rely on her father for anything.
"you……!"
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
Especially Lu Miao's calmness, composure and excellence are in extreme contrast to Min Qiaoqiao.
Father Min saw it all and was angry, but he was also disappointed in his own son.
The breath in my chest grew stronger and stronger, as if it was about to erupt.
Father Min simply stopped being patient.
After all, the struggle of opinions is fake, and the struggle for power is real.
Especially since Father Min had already known about Lu Miao's situation before coming here.
Although Lu Miao served as deputy minister, he was actually still at the level of director, far below his current position, and posed no threat to him.
If there is a conflict, naturally only Lu Miao will be wary of him.
"Don't say too much, don't do too much. Young people, don't be too impulsive! Acting too forcefully will only bring you bad luck!"
Lu Miao raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, remaining calm and composed.
"I don't quite understand what you're saying. Didn't Uncle just say that young people are full of energy? If they don't have that energy, are they still young?"
Father Min choked and slammed the table.
Lu Miao didn't care.
A melon on a vine, what is Min Qiaoqiao like? Does anyone need to guess what Min's father's temper is?
Lu Miao was not at all surprised by his anger and humiliation.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have sat down and talked to him for so long without even calling him "uncle" or "uncle".
The other person came here just to cause trouble, why should she be so polite to him?
There is a very important rule in dealing with people: tolerance when you are strong is a virtue, but tolerance when you are weak is cowardice.
But in fact, tolerance and humility are not important.
The most important thing is to be ambitious and take on responsibilities.
Lu Miao lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, then said calmly:
"Young people have their own paths to follow. Whether or not they can please you is not something you should worry about, especially for an outsider like me."
"No wonder people say you're such a great talker. You're really quick-witted and have a powerful tongue!"
Father Min looked grim.
Just thinking of something, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, his eyes slowly passed Lu Miao and looked towards the study, and said meaningfully:
"But you don't have to be so sharp-tongued about this. As a parent, the thing you can't let go of the most is your child. You have children too, and you still have a long life ahead of you. When you're in my shoes one day, who knows if you'll still be able to remain as calm as you are now?"
Lu Miao paused slightly while drinking tea, and when he raised his eyelashes and looked at Min's father, his eyes suddenly became cold and sharp.
