After returning the fish to his dormitory, Qin Bai went straight home.
Cheng Jing was quite surprised when she looked up and saw him.
"You're back so early today, are you done with work at the company?"
Because of the branch office business, Qin Bai has been busy until late at night these days, often returning home after Cheng Jing has fallen asleep.
"Well, I'm almost done with the work."
He sat on the sofa and glanced at the TV: "Mom, why are you watching idol dramas now?"
"Sigh, you've ruined all my idols, now all I can do is watch idol dramas."
The barbed words were thrown in Qin Bai's face.
Qin Bai remained calm: "Isn't this so you can see Teacher Luo every day? I've even brought her home."
Cheng Jing glanced at him: "So it seems like I'm the one who profited."
Qin Bai picked up an unidentified, wrinkled fruit from the table and took a bite.
I must say, this one is quite sweet.
"You watch so many idol dramas so you can have common topics with them, right? You're quite a responsible mother-in-law."
Cheng Jing smiled and waved her hand: "It's not that complicated. They all recommended it to me. I just look at it when I have nothing to do, just to pass the time."
Qin Bai leaned back on the sofa and found a comfortable position.
He said lazily, "Why haven't you gone out for a walk with Aunt Yao lately?"
"I'd like to too, but after discussing it back and forth, we still don't know where to go. You're all at home, and I'd be worried about going out, so let's just forget about it."
"How about we try a senior university? I've heard it's quite fun, you could cultivate your interests there, and there are lots of older guys there too, you could..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Jing's hand was already on his ear.
"Hey hey hey hey... Why did you suddenly start hitting me? Go easy on me, it hurts!"
Cheng Jing glared and scolded, "You little brat, do I look that old? You want to send me to a senior university now?"
Age is a topic that women should never discuss, and this mother is no exception.
Qin Bai struggled to escape the attack range, rubbing his ear as he said, "I was just saying that offhand. How about you come work for my company and be the chairman?"
"Forget it, I'm not that bored. You said you wanted Wanzhou to go to the branch office last time, did you ask him?"
"Sigh, don't even mention it. I didn't expect this kid to have such a strong opinion. He refused to go no matter what."
Why not let those two roommates go over?
"The company can't do without people. Just Gao Cheng is probably going to be overworked. The company doesn't dare to hire management personnel right now, there's no other way."
Qin Bai sat back down on the sofa.
Company expansion has been on the agenda for some time, but there hasn't been a suitable management team.
I am overwhelmed and lack the energy to manage the branch offices.
Now that Shen Mu and the Luo family are eyeing them covetously, who knows if the management they recruit are actually their people?
Qin Bai dared not gamble, nor could he gamble.
He has already identified the funds and projects he needs, but unfortunately, he doesn't have enough manpower.
Cheng Jing asked, "I heard Mu Yao has started working recently?"
"Yeah, she works at Sister Wanyin's company. I didn't expect this girl to have a talent for finance. She's currently playing against Shen Mu."
"Why don't you...?"
Cheng Jing looked at her son thoughtfully.
Qin Bai sighed.
"I've thought about it, but unfortunately it won't work."
"Mu Yao lacks experience?"
"Experience is one thing, but it's already quite good that she can keep Shen Mu in check. Besides, she just joined Sister Wanyin's company and is doing quite well. If we just get rid of her like this, I'm afraid..."
Cheng Jing smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid your sister Wanyin is overthinking things?"
Qin Bai nodded helplessly.
"Actually, you're overthinking it. Judging from what you've said, it seems that the company Pei Wanyin set up in Jinshan City was just to set you up."
“I know, which is why I can’t poach people from her company. She has already helped me enough.”
Cheng Jing understands her son's personality well and approves of what he did.
But as a woman herself, her intuition told her that Pei Wanyin probably didn't think that way.
If Qin Bai overthinks things and always feels he shouldn't owe her more, it's as if he's treating her like an outsider.
Women are emotional creatures. When she's nice to someone, she doesn't need many reasons. If you reject her too often, the feelings will fade.
Cheng Jing thought for a moment and said, "Son, why don't you subtly ask Pei Wanyin for her opinion? Your bottom line and standards may not be enough to resolve matters of the heart."
"Well, I'm planning to go to Pushi to see her in a while. We'll talk about it then. She seems really tired lately. I guess she's got a lot on her mind over there."
"Go to Pushi?" Cheng Jing looked at him in confusion: "Weren't you supposed to accompany Yao Yao to that gathering of her master first?"
"Huh?" Qin Bai suddenly sat up. "Mom, how did you know?"
"Yaoyao told me. Look how sensible that girl is. She tells me everything first. Then look at you, you never say anything."
Okay.
The little green tea has really figured out the art of war.
Her future mother-in-law has already started speaking up for her.
"Also, you should spend more time with her. Lately, when she talks to me on the phone, she seems to have no energy left to talk..."
Qin Bai watched the TV show with a lazy expression, while his mother's nagging never stopped in his ears.
The feeling of contentment and warmth reminded him of things from the past.
It seems like I've seen similar scenes in my dreams before.
The TV was showing a storyline where the ending was already known.
The mother was standing beside him, saying some of the things she often said.
They also occasionally share gossip about their neighbors.
He just kept putting things together sporadically.
I don't know when it started, but this kind of life has been quietly taking place.
Qin Bai enjoyed this feeling.
It would be better if none of those unpleasant things happened.
For example: those scoundrels who are eyeing their girlfriends.
His eyelids have been twitching non-stop lately.
What does this tell us?
This means that a deity with the ability to see the heavens sent him a warning card.
Someone's trying to stab you, kid. Be careful.
He already knew that the Luo family had sent people over, but he was curious why they hadn't made a move yet.
Considering the timeline, they should have thoroughly studied Sun Tzu's Art of War by now. What are they waiting for?
Even if Shen Guaiguai's appearance disrupted their plans, it shouldn't leave the Luo family helpless.
Qin Bai had been waiting.
Let them make the first move.
To put it nicely, this is called responding to all changes by remaining unchanged.
The truth is...
He couldn't defend against it and could only wait for the opponent to make the first move.
Why!
Those damned bastards, why couldn't they all just suddenly get hit and killed by a truck?
Can't we just enjoy our lives to the fullest?
You guys deserve to die.
