Jun Xinghe shook his head. "I want to sit here for a while."
From this position, he had a perfect view of Jiang Liu.
Jun Xinghe patiently observed Jiang Liu’s every move.
He discovered sothing.
The man’s conduct was natural and fully engaged.
He could hold his own in conversation with custors, and he was very clear on what should and shouldn’t be said.
"Not bad, not bad at all. He has a talent for business..."
Jun Xinghe nodded in satisfaction.
He could also tell from the custors’ tone that they all respected Jiang Liu.
What did this an? It ant Jiang Liu must be a good person, which was why others treated him so well from the bottom of their hearts.
To be honest...
In Jun Xinghe’s opinion, compared to those profligate sons from Jing City, Jiang Liu had far too many shining qualities.
Hardworking, smart, sincere, conscientious... and the list went on.
As for the fact that Jiang Liu had a little girl, Jun Xinghe didn’t mind in the slightest.
After another ten minutes, a waiting custor grew impatient.
"Are you done digesting? Stop holding up Brother Jiang from selling buns, will you?"
"My apologies, we’re leaving right now."
Jun Xinghe smiled warmly and stood up.
He had already made his decision.
He could try letting his daughter get to know Jiang Liu.
For the sake of his daughter’s al ticket... for the sake of his daughter’s lifelong happiness.
Jun Xinghe planned to find his daughter and bring her back.
And he would do his best to set the two of them up to fall in love.
It would be perfect if they had a child quickly.
This would kill countless birds with one stone!
Not only would his daughter find a handso, outstanding man, but he himself would get a lifelong al ticket. And if Jiang Liu worked hard enough, wouldn’t his successor’s successor be secured as well?!
"Let’s go!"
"Old Jun, what were you staring at for so long, dawdling like that?" Guo Dapao asked, confused.
"It’s nothing."
The three of them walked to the counter to pay by card.
Uncle Niu, who was sitting across from them, saw Jun Xinghe’s group leave. He then stacked the plates on their table and took out a wet wipe he had ready to clean the tabletop.
If others weren’t going to dote on Boss Jiang, then they, his neighbors, most certainly would.
Jun Xinghe noticed this scene as well.
He turned and warned the other two, "Next ti you two co here, rember to help Boss Jiang clear the table before you leave, got it?"
’As my designated son-in-law, Jiang Liu must, of course, be doted on even more than others.’
Guo Dapao and Xiao Liu nodded.
"This Jiang Liu fella, I, Dapao, have taken a liking to him. He’s worthy of our respect."
"Don’t worry, President Jun. I guarantee I’ll wipe it super clean next ti!"
The three of them chatted as they slowly walked out the door.
The mont they were outside, Xiao Liu eagerly pulled out his phone, a look of excitent on his face.
Watching Xiao Liu scroll on his phone, Jun Xinghe’s expression imdiately soured.
’This guy isn’t trying to get his hooks into my designated son-in-law, is he?’
"Xiao Liu, what are you looking at on your phone?"
"Oh, I’m checking to see if there are any secondhand apartnts for sale nearby. But it seems like they’re all pretty expensive around here, almost ten thousand per square ter. It’s cheaper in other places, which is strange."
"Ten thousand per square ter?"
Guo Dapao was astonished. "That’s the price in a provincial capital, right? For a third-tier city in a middle-ring area like this, even five thousand for a secondhand apartnt would be plenty expensive."
"Why are you looking at secondhand apartnts?"
Jun Xinghe also shot him an inquisitive look.
"Sigh." Xiao Liu heaved a long sigh, collected himself, and said:
"It’s embarrassing to bring up, but my parents fell ill and died young. Back in my village, there was coal under our house. The mine dug it all out, and the house cracked. The mining company gave five hundred thousand as a buyout. After that, I brought my wife and daughter to Jing City and have been renting ever since."
"Now I’ve saved up nearly two million, so I’m thinking about buying a ho. I figured I might as well buy one here. That way, I can occasionally eat sothing good."
There was another thought he didn’t voice: he was hoping to take advantage of his proximity to a favorable situation and see if he could get his daughter to et this Boss Jiang.
He had also heard that this boss was divorced by a vicious wife. The man seed reliable, could make money, was educated, and most importantly, his food was delicious!
Jun Xinghe knew his driver’s family situation wasn’t perfect.
He nodded and said, "I think that’s a good idea. How about this: later, you call the company’s survey departnt and have them inspect the vicinity. I’m thinking of opening a dicinal herb branch factory here too."
He imdiately added, "It should be close to the Second Food Stall—the closer, the better."
"Open a branch here?!"
Guo Dapao’s and Xiao Liu’s eyes lit up.
That was great news!
They could all stay together, and they could eat delicious food every day!
Jun Xinghe thought of sothing else and quickly added, "Xiao Liu, in a bit, rember to contact the company’s assistant general manager. Have him help find my daughter’s phone number."
"I have sothing important that I must get done."
"No problem!"
Xiao Liu had just finished contacting the survey departnt and imdiately started making another call.
"It’s done, President Jun. But they probably won’t find it this afternoon. Even with the best connections, it will take about a day."
"Fine. As fast as possible!"
Jun Xinghe glanced at a female student who was chatting happily with Jiang Liu, feeling even more anxious.
He wished he could run over and give Jiang Liu a good scolding.
’It’s all my daughter’s fault for not stepping up. So frustrating!’
「South City Kindergarten.」
Jun Qingng shuddered, the hairs on her arms standing on end.
Jiang Tongtong looked around and, seeing no one, called out, "Qingng’s Mother, are you cold?"
She preferred calling her "Mother"; it made her seem more like a little baby!
Jun Qingng shook her head. "I’m fine, not cold. I just have a feeling sothing bad is about to happen."
"Hmm."
Jiang Tongtong copied Jiang Liu by rubbing her chin and spouted so serious-sounding nonsense, "I bet there are too many girls who like Daddy, and they’re talking bad about Mother behind her back."
"Sigh, it can’t be helped. Daddy takes after —cute and good-looking. We’re adored wherever we go."
Jun Qingng rolled her eyes at her and said helplessly, "It would be so much better if your daddy were a little uglier. Then I wouldn’t feel so much pressure."
"Ooh!"
Jiang Tongtong asked joyfully, "Mother, if Daddy beca really ugly, would you still be willing to be my mommy?"
"Of course! No matter what he becos, I’ll still love him!"
Jun Qingng said seriously, patting Tongtong’s head.
She really, truly loved Jiang Liu.
And not just for his looks.
"Hee hee!" Tongtong laughed happily.
She had a happy family, with a mommy and daddy who loved her and wouldn’t ever separate.
Jun Qingng thought for a mont and said, "However, if your daddy got involved with another woman, I wouldn’t be able to accept that. I would leave then."
Tongtong imdiately picked up a twig from the ground, copied Jiang Liu’s serious expression, and said in her high-pitched voice, "He’d dare?! Just watch spank his butt till it blossoms!"
Jun Qingng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Then Tongtong patted Jun Qingng’s hand and said comfortingly, "Mother, don’t you worry. I’m the one who raised Xiao Jiang. I know exactly what kind of person he is. He would never do sothing like that. You can set your heart at ease, okay?"
The two of them started giggling.
It was so much fun teasing Jiang Liu behind his back!
Jun Qingng then asked in return, "What about you, Tongtong? If your daddy couldn’t make money anymore, his cooking wasn’t delicious, and he stopped doting on you, would you still love your daddy?"
"Yes!" Tongtong nodded without a mont’s hesitation.
