“You can take your time to think about it. I’m not in a hurry. It’s getting late. You should go back,” Jiang Feng said.
“Alright.”
After Lin Miaoxue went upstairs, Jiang Feng returned to the villa.
…
It was already very late when Jiang Feng returned to the villa. His parents had gone to bed, but his second uncle and his sister were still chatting. The duo was laughing happily as they chatted.
Jiang Feng moved to stand behind the couch silently, intending to scare them as he asked, “Second Uncle, Little Yu, what are you guys talking about?”
“Ah! Brother, you’re so mean! I was frightened out of my mind!” Little Yu said, pretending to be shocked. She was grinning ear to ear.
Jiang Feng’s second uncle chuckled. “Little Yu is still so cute. She hasn’t changed at all.”
Little Yu giggled. “If I change, you won’t recognize me anymore. However, my brother has changed a lot. Are you shocked, Second Uncle?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said, stroking Little Yu’s head.
At this time, Jiang Feng, who was amused by Little Yu, saw his second uncle’s phone lit up. He saw a picture of a teenage girl with two ponytails. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He asked curiously, “Second Uncle, this is?”
Jiang Feng’s second uncle looked shy as he said, “This is my daughter. Your cousin sister.”
“What’s her name? Is she with Aunty now?” Jiang Feng asked, looking at the girl carefully. She looked very clever.
“Her name is Jiang Shi. She’s been smart since she was young. I’ve lost count of how many times she tricked her brother,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle replied. He could not help smiling when talking about his daughter.
“Brother? You have a son as well?” Little Yu asked curiously.
“Yes. He’s in his twenties. He’s a year younger than Little Feng. He joined the army. He’s disobedient and not as smart as Little Shi. His name is Jiang Chengyuan. It’s been a while since I saw him,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said with a sigh. His eyes were filled with longing.
“Do you have a picture of him? I want to have a look, Second Uncle,” Little Yu said excitedly as her eyes lit up.
“I do. Wait, I’ll look for it,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said with a smile as he looked for the photo on his phone.
When Little Yu saw the photo of a somewhat handsome young man, she exclaimed, “Brother, have a look! He’s so handsome! He’s even more handsome than you! I have two handsome brothers now!”
Jiang Feng flicked Little Yu’s forehead light, not knowing whether to laugh or cry when he saw her reaction. “Why are you so excited?”
Jiang Feng’s second uncle was very happy. “When your Brother Chengyuan returns, I’ll tell him to take you out to play. That brat treats his little sister very well too…”
Little Yu nodded. “I want to meet Sister Shi as well. She seems easy to get along with.”
“You’ll meet her soon. I’ll bring your aunt and Little Shi over in two days. However, I’m not completely certain yet. If Little Shi came as well, going to school will be very inconvenient,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said, looking troubled.
If it was possible, he did not want to trouble Jiang Feng. However, if they were to stay here, going to school would indeed be inconvenient for his daughter. He might even mess things up for his daughter.
“Second Uncle, don’t be so polite with me. I’ll take care of Little Shi’s school as well. I’ll accompany you to pick up Aunty and Little Shi,” Jiang Feng said tactfully.
Jiang Feng’s second uncle sighed emotionally. “Little Feng, with you around, I feel much more at ease. Little Shi and Chengyuan are really lucky to have you as their cousin brother. Little Shi seems to be in the rebellious phase now, and your aunt is really worried about her.”
“It’s always like that when kids hit puberty. It’ll be fine as time passes. Second Uncle, you should rest now. The doctor said you shouldn’t stay up late,” Jiang Feng urged.
“Alright, alright, I’ll go to sleep,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said, feelinghappy, “Little Yu, Second Uncle will push you upstairs. Little Feng, you can go rest as well.”
Jiang Feng nodded. “It’s about time for me to sleep as well. Let’s pick up Aunty and Little Shi soon.”
…
At the same time, Lin Miaoxue was lying on her bed, feeling conflicted again. Jiang Feng’s earlier words completely occupied her mind at this moment.
She wondered if she should join Jiang Feng’s company or not. It was only logical for her to find a new job after she resigned. However, Cinda Financial was Kerry Financial Company’s target. If her colleagues knew she joined Cinda Financial, they would likely think she betrayed Kerry Financial Company and spread the word about it. However, after thinking about it, she thought that even if she did not join Cinda Financial, those people would still likely gossip about her and find other things to criticize her about.
She sighed when she recalled Yang Yiling’s alienation from her. She understood Yang Yiling’s actions, but if she were in Yang Yiling’s shoes, she did not think she would be so heartless.
Lin Miaoxue’s expression grew solemn as she thought about Lin Xinyao’s words. Lin Xinyao told her that she must seize the opportunity. She could not let this opportunity go.
After a moment, she sent a message to Liu Xinyao.
Lin Miaoxue: Sister Yao, Jiang Feng invited me to join his company. However, I feel conflicted. I want to join his company, but I feel like it’s inappropriate.
Liu Xinyao’s reply was swift.
Liu Xinyao: What’s there to feel conflicted about? It’s a good opportunity to snag yourself a wealthy husband! Go! If you don’t go, I’ll whip you and force you to go!
Lin Miaoxue’s face turned red as she replied.
Lin Miaoxue: You only know to tease me! I just quit my job at Kerry not long ago. Cinda is a company that Kerry plans to acquire.
When Lin Miaoxue saw how fast Liu Xinyao was replying, she thought that Liu Xinyao had the potential to be a reporter.
Liu Xinyao: What are you afraid of if you’ve not done anything wrong? There’s nothing inappropriate about it. If anyone dares to slander you, I won’t let them go. Don’t worry. Focus on marrying a rich husband!”
Lin Miaoxue: I’ll think about it again.
After the conversation ended, Lin Miaoxue put her phone aside.
Liu Xinyao was right. She had not done anything wrong and had always stuck to her principles. That aside, her treatment and salary would be better, and most importantly, her boss was a good person. Her future would definitely be limitless. Who would be unwilling under such circumstances?
With someone as remarkable as Jiang Feng, she would definitely learn a lot from him if she joined his company. It was difficult to find someone as remarkable as him. There was no doubt it was beneficial for her to join his company.
At this moment, her phone buzzed. She picked her phone up, confused.
Liu Xinyao: What’s there to think about? If you wait any longer, the chance will disappear! There are many female employees in the company. If you hesitate, he’ll be snatched away!
Upon reading this message, Lin Miaoxu felt a sense of crisis. Then, she made up her mind and sent a message to Jiang Feng.
Lin Miaoxue: Jiang Feng, I want to visit your company first. Is that okay?”
…
Jiang Feng was about to fall asleep when he was woken up by his phone. When he saw that it was a message from Lin Miaoxue, he quickly read it.
When he read the content, he could not help but smile.
Jiang Feng: Alright. I’ll pick you up after I attend to some matters tomorrow.
Lin Miaoxue: Okay.
…
Lin Miaoxue fell asleep in a good mood now that she had made up her mind. She wanted to visit Cinda Financial. She had no idea what it looked like, and she was curious why Jiang Feng was so confident about acquiring Kerry Financial Company.
