Chapter 68

Don't say Jiang Youlan, even Zhou Wenwen was surprised. She knew very well about Mr. Mu's family situation. Seeing Mu Yan speak so casually, she was worried that he might be putting on a brave face and said anxiously, "Brother Yan, are you really okay?"

Her concern was evident. Chu Qingqing, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't contain herself any longer and said, "Teacher Zhou, it's just a house. If this can still be a problem for my brother, you're really underestimating him. Brother, if you don't have enough money, I can give you my private savings. You don't have to pay me back."

"You little girl, you just said it wouldn't be a problem for me, and now you're offering your private savings. Aren't you just mocking me?" Seeing that she spoke without restraint but with good intentions, Mu Yan laughed.

"What does a child know? Do you know how much a house costs?" Zhou Xueru, who had never liked Chu Qingqing, was even more annoyed by her big talk. He could tell that Chu Qingqing wasn't from Donghai, given her accent, and assumed she didn't know about Donghai's housing prices. He couldn't help but scold her.

Chu Qingqing wasn't the type to back down. Hearing this, she didn't care about Zhou Xueru's status, snorted, and pulled out a card from her small bag, throwing it on the table and saying, "Go pick a house near No. 7 Middle School right now. Once you like one, just swipe the card. It's just a few million, right?"

Seeing the little girl throw the card so casually and say "just a few million," everyone was stunned, especially Zhou Xueru, whose face turned pale. He was a person from the Education Bureau, and a student was showing off in front of him. She was really overstepping!

"Where are you from, little girl? You have no manners at all!" Zhou Xueru burst out in anger.

Seeing her husband so angry, Jiang Youlan also realized that this little girl might have some background. She immediately nudged her daughter under the table and held back her husband.

Zhou Wenwen also realized that her father had offended Chu Qingqing and quickly said, "Dad, Chu Qingqing's mother is Mayor Zhang."

"Mayor Zhang, which Mayor Zhang?" Zhou Xueru was still confused.

"The Mayor Zhang who took office in Donghai last year, Mayor Zhang Zixuan!" Zhou Wenwen said.

Hearing this, Zhou Xueru's face turned ashen. He had just shouted at Mayor Zhang's daughter and said she had no manners. Wasn't that like insulting Mayor Zhang? If this little girl told her mother, he would be in big trouble at work!

Thinking of this, his face turned pale, and he wanted to apologize, but he couldn't bring himself to do it in front of a little girl. His face became even more awkward, and he was at a loss.

Jiang Youlan thought her husband was becoming more and more stubborn, a result of being in the system for too long. She shook her head and said, "Qingqing, don't take it to heart. My husband is just a stubborn old man. I'll talk to him later!"

"Hmph!" Chu Qingqing snorted and said nothing more, clearly not finding it fun anymore now that her identity was revealed.

"Mu Yan, do you know Mayor Zhang?" Jiang Youlan asked.

I do know her, and quite well, but it's not something I can admit in front of Chu Qingqing. Who knows what this little clever girl might discover. He smiled and said, "Mayor Zhang is noble and graceful. Who in Donghai doesn't know her? I just haven't met her formally!"

"In fact, I haven't met her formally, but we have had some deep private conversations," Mu Yan thought to himself.

Hearing this, Jiang Youlan understood. The so-called "godfather" relationship was just Chu Qingqing's mischief and didn't count. If Mu Yan really had a good relationship with Mayor Zhang, she wouldn't have stopped them. But this private relationship might make Mayor Zhang unhappy if she found out her daughter was with a labor reform convict.

Putting aside Chu Qingqing's background, Jiang Youlan continued, "By the way, I heard Director Xu say that you are now driving for Mr. Yu of Fenghua Group?"

"Oh! I was his driver for a while," Mu Yan said.

"So you are someone the boss trusts. That's good for you. Fenghua is one of the largest groups in Donghai. My Wenwen should also find someone with some status. Our second condition is that if you can become a manager at Fenghua, we will recognize your relationship!" Jiang Youlan said.

"Mom? We agreed that if either of the two conditions was met, you wouldn't stop us. Why are you changing it to both now?" Zhou Wenwen was immediately anxious.

Mu Yan understood. It seemed Wenwen had already confronted her family. From her anxious look, he could tell she still cared for him, which made him very happy.

"Wenwen, don't worry. Actually, the conditions your mother proposed are not too high. I won't hide it from you, I am already a manager at Fenghua Group. Although the official announcement will be made tomorrow, Mr. Yu and I have already discussed this in depth!" Mu Yan said.

Hearing this, Jiang Youlan and Zhou Xueru were both surprised. They didn't think Mu Yan would lie at this point, and it was easy to verify. Zhou Wenwen was not only surprised but also delighted. Although she was determined to sacrifice for love, she was also happy that Mu Yan was so capable.

"Mom, see, Mu Yan has already met the conditions you set. You can't go back on your word!" Zhou Wenwen pulled her mother's arm, pouting.

Jiang Youlan had given these two conditions, thinking they were almost impossible for Mu Yan to meet. Now, it seemed he had already achieved them. Although the house issue was just his words, from his demeanor, she didn't think he was exaggerating.

"Alright, if that's the case, I can agree to your relationship!" Jiang Youlan agreed.

"Great! I knew you were the best, Mom!" Zhou Wenwen hugged her mother's arm, leaning on her shoulder like a happy little bird.

"Wife, why did you agree so easily?" Zhou Xueru pulled Jiang Youlan aside, dissatisfied.

"What else can we do? We already agreed. If we go back on our word, our daughter will hate us. Besides, since Mu Yan can meet our conditions, he must be someone special, at least capable. Wenwen won't suffer with him!" Jiang Youlan explained her thoughts.

"Fine, let it be. Today, I offended Director Xu. I'll just continue being a section chief. As long as my daughter is happy, that's enough!" Zhou Xueru sighed.
