As for Qi Wenfeng, he entered the university smoothly, while studying his own major, and usually took time to go to the conservatory to sit in, but there was no peace in Zhou Yan’s situation.

“Hasn’t your grandfather said anything about making arrangements for you? It’s been three months since you enrolled in school, so why hasn’t anything happened?”

Zhou Yan has been looking forward to it since her son went to college. She endured the first month of his military training, and she didn’t say anything in the second month when he was busy in class, but it’s been three months and there was no news. So, Zhou Yan would certainly be worried.

“Mom, what’s your hurry? It’s only a few months, and besides, the freshman year textbooks came in plenty. Giving me another job, would make me exhausted!” Qi Wenfeng was spread out on the couch, not reacting to his mother’s words.

“You! you usually seem quite sensible, how come you dropped the ball at a critical time. Now isn’t the time to slack off! Go back, hurry up and urge your father to speak to the old man!”

Seeing her son’s exhausted look of overwhelming stress, Zhou Yan patiently coaxed him again. “Be good, you listen to your mother’s words correctly. These past few years are a little hard, when you become the head of the Qi family, Mom will not force you.”

Qi Wenfeng stared at his mother for a moment and couldn’t help but ask: “Mom, I’m really not interested in managing the company, just the professional classes I’ve been taking for the past two months have been giving me headaches when I think about them. Qi Wenyan is working overtime in addition to his classes, I sometimes feel tired when I look at him like that. Mom, maybe we should stop thinking about Qi family. Dad loves me so much, he won’t treat me badly, and then we can still live an easy life with the money….”

“What nonsense! You worthless thing, why are you still saying such things at this point!?”

Zhou Yan was annoyed, but looking at her closed-minded son, she had to be patient and advise him: “Son, why don’t you understand? If you want to have a good life, you have to take the initiative. Look at me, your mother. I’ve been with your father for over a decade. In case your father is unhappy and doesn’t give you a single penny, think about what you should do. How much money do you think Elder Qi would give you? Not to mention if that Qi Wenyan is in charge, you’ll be lucky if you don’t get kicked out!”

Qi Wenfeng listened silently to his Mom’s ‘great advice’, wanting to say that his father is very good to him, and Qi Wenyan wouldn’t pick on him on purpose.

“Mom, what if I had the power to make your life easier?” Qi Wenfeng couldn’t help but ask, still expecting his mother to change her mind.

Zhou Yan looked sideways at her son, frowned and asked, “What can you do? Do you want to follow the example of Qi Wenyu and go out to start a business? Is it better to start a business than to find a way to inherit the Qi family? Besides, you think you can succeed by starting a business?”

Qi Wenfeng hesitated for a moment and tried, “Not a business venture. I went to play in the central square the other day and a talent scout approached me, he said I had good looks and heard that I was talented in music, so he planned to sign me as an artist…”

Looking at Zhou Yan, who was about to flip out, Qi Wenfeng immediately added, “Of course I won’t just sign a contract, it’s just that I’ve thought about it, and I like singing more than managing a company. Mom, nowadays being a star can also bring in millions of dollars a year, and I have the Qi family to back me up, so it will be a lot easier to mingle in the entertainment industry, and then…”

Zhou Yan didn’t want to hear it anymore and interrupted Qi Wenfeng: “Don’t even think about it! What are you going to do in the entertainment industry? That’s a youthful day dream, and compared to inheriting the Qi family, anyone with a brain would know what to choose!”

Zhou Yan couldn’t help but get angry: “Qi Wenfeng, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t we agree to join the company after college? What’s the matter with you? Putting it off every day now, and don’t tell me you haven’t told your father about going into the company!”

Looking at her son who was impatient to listen to her, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but say, “If you don’t fight for yourself, then don’t blame me, your mother, for planning behind the scenes. Then, you’ll have to fight for it without me!”

Qi Wenfeng has been holding his breath for a long time and has lost his patience, so he couldn’t help but look at his Mom and replied in a cold voice: “If you really want to do it yourself, I would like to advise you that the Qi and Bai families wouldn’t just watch you mess up Qi Wenyan’s life. So don’t blame me for not being able to protect you!”

Zhou Yan was shocked at the words, not expecting her son to speak to her like that, and couldn’t help but cry and look at Qi Wenfeng with a condemning look. As if Qi Wenfeng had done something treacherous.

“Am I not doing this for you? Think about what we’ve been living through all these years, I’m just trying to live a little more comfortably, wuwuwu…”

Qi Wenfeng couldn’t help but roll his eyes, wanting very much to say to her: Mom, you’ve lived more comfortably than 80% of the women in China over the years….

Qi Wenfeng had a headache as he watched his mother’s tears streamed down her face. His mother is also in her forties, so if she continues to cry like this… he had to continue to reassure her. “Fine, I promise you, I’ll talk to Dad about the company when I get back, but I can’t guarantee exactly what kind of position he can arrange. ”

Zhou Yan stopped crying after hearing the words, and said sadly, “Son, Mom knows how hard it is for you. When you’re in charge, you don’t even have to worry about what Mom does anymore!”

Qi Wenfeng nodded his head dispassionately, and had no lingering feelings for Zhou Yan, making an excuse and heading back to school.

Qi Wenfeng ended up in the Qi Group, starting from the ground up, just like Qi Wenyan did in the beginning. Zhou Yan was only slightly satisfied when she found out.

But while Zhou Yan was satisfied, Qi Wenfeng had a headache. The professional classes themselves were not easy, plus he also spent most of his time on songwriting. How could he have any energy to work?

But it’s a good thing some of the people in the company knew who he was and didn’t give him any work, so he just used his office hours to get some creative work done!

But there are those who didn’t dare to do anything to him, and those who deliberately made things difficult for him. Looking at the pile of documents in front of him, Qi Wenfeng couldn’t help but wince.

“This was arranged by the manager of the department, entered it into the computer system.” And then he turned and walked away, leaving Qi Wenfeng with only the back of his head.

Qi Wenfeng laughed at the stack of documents that were twenty centimeters high, how long would it take to catalog them one by one!

But he had to accept the situation, Qi Wenfeng looked at the handwritten notes and reluctantly got up and went to Qi Wenyan’s office.

“Brother~ ” as flattering as it was possible for him to be, Qi Wenyan instantly got goose bumps.

“Just say what you need to say!”

“Brother, talk to our manager for me, don’t give me any work. I don’t have enough time already, if I do those odd jobs. I don’t even have time to sleep!”

Qi Wenyan frowned, “Then you have to do something too, you can’t just do nothing.”

Qi Wenfeng thought about it, otherwise he can’t deal with his Mom, so he said, “So what’s simple and easy to understand? Something that doesn’t take up too much time!”

Qi Wenyan: “Your dreaming!”

In the end Qi Wenyan went ahead and said it anyway, but by the time he was done, the company was inadvertently spreading the word. The gossip of ‘The biological son suppressing the illegitimate son’ made Qi Wenfeng, who was the subject, couldn’t help but have black lines on his forehead. However, wrinkling his nose and thinking about his free time compared to his brother’s reputation. He duly forgot about this rumor, anyway there were many people supporting his brother.
