Jiang Liu took a deep breath. He didn’t want to bicker with his "Da Congming" daughter.
"Co on, let’s both go take a bath."
"Yay, bath ti!"
Jiang Liu picked up Tongtong and started her bath.
...
Jun Qingng returned ho.
"You’re back? I was starting to think you weren’t coming ho at all."
Guo Jia teased from the sofa, clutching her stomach.
She was still stuffed.
’The food Jiang Liu made was just too good. It would be perfect if she could just lock him up and have him cook for her every day!’
"Mm."
Jun Qingng nodded and went to her room. She wasn’t in a very good mood.
Jun Xinghe had just sent her another ssage.
Jun Xinghe: "I’m very busy. I don’t have ti to wait for you to think it over. Give your choice within two hours."
He was worried that so other girl would snatch Jiang Liu away, so he was getting impatient.
Jun Qingng read the ssage over and over.
She tossed and turned on her bed, which was filled with her scent.
After so thought, Jun Qingng replied, "How about this: I’ll agree to co back and take over the company, but on one condition. I get to choose who I love, marry, and have children with. You’re not allowed to interfere."
She really had no other choice.
If her father t Jiang Liu, there was no telling what might happen.
She didn’t want anything to jeopardize their relationship.
Jun Xinghe’s reply ca quickly. "I’ve changed my mind. I’m no longer planning for you to take over the company."
???
Jun Qingng’s delicate brows knitted together, and her pretty face seed to be covered in a layer of frost.
"What do you an?"
Jun Xinghe replied, "The company isn’t a ga. I don’t see the qualities of a leader in you."
"We have hundreds of pharmaceutical factories that have gone global. We employ hundreds of thousands of people, with countless elites among them. You need to understand that from my position, every word and deed carries imnse weight and has a huge impact."
"However, I can sense your reluctance in your words. You might be willing to compromise for love now, but what about later? Do you think you can stick with it?"
"If I told you to go abroad tomorrow to manage a company, would you go?"
Jun Qingng fell silent.
She understood her father’s concerns.
’Maybe I really isn’t cut out for managing a company.’
If she were told to go abroad tomorrow, the thought of not seeing Jiang Liu would definitely make her find an excuse to get out of it.
Jun Xinghe continued to text: "I’m sure you’ve already guessed all this. I’ve given up on my plans for you to be the successor. I’ve decided to cultivate a third-generation heir instead."
Jun Qingng: ...
’My life is so tragic.’
Jun Xinghe: "Forget about inheriting the company. You have two choices now. One, let have a chat with your boyfriend. Two, et the person I’ve arranged for you. By the way, he’s infinitely better than you are, a truly high-quality man."
"Don’t worry, it’s just one eting. I’m not demanding you actually date him."
By now, Jun Xinghe was more and more convinced that Jiang Liu was a man of exceptional character.
He was down-to-earth, intelligent, charismatic, and knew how to win people’s hearts.
’Could a man who turned a small food business into sothing so acclaid that custors were willing to sleep in tents just to eat there be a simple person?’
In contrast, when he thought of his own daughter, Jun Xinghe could only shake his head.
’She’s completely boy-crazy, willful, fickle, and sotis just plain foolish.’
’There’s not much value in grooming soone like that. It’s better to just give up on her and focus on the third generation. That’s the right choice!’
"I don’t even know if Jiang Liu will like Qingng when they et. Sigh!"
Jun Xinghe sighed.
’If all else fails, I’ll just throw money at the problem. I’ll start by buying Jiang Liu a few luxury cars, then a few mansions, and put together a dowry of a few hundred million. I’ll bury him in wealth if I have to, just to get him on our side!’
Jun Qingng clutched her phone, staring into space for a mont.
Now, all she had left was Jiang Liu.
Looking at the choices her father had given her, Jun Qingng knew she had no other option. Biting her lip, she replied, "I’ll choose the first option. In a little while, I’ll have my boyfriend et you. But I have to be there. I need to keep an eye on you."
Jun Xinghe frowned. He would have much preferred his daughter to just follow his arrangents.
’A son-in-law like Jiang Liu is such a great catch.’
"Fine. The day after tomorrow, then. You na the place, I’ll be there."
Jun Qingng imdiately shot back, "No! That’s way too soon. I’ll bring him to et you in six months."
’She wanted to wait until she and Jiang Liu had slept together and sealed the deal. Her dad wouldn’t dare ss with Jiang Liu then.’
Jun Xinghe replied without leaving any room for argunt, "Impossible! One week, max. Don’t even think about a month!"
Jun Qingng: "Three months."
"Two weeks. That’s my bottom line. If you don’t agree, I’ll handle this my own way."
"Two months. If you don’t agree, I’m blocking you."
"Three weeks. That’s my final offer."
Seeing no reply, Jun Xinghe started to worry and sent, "Fine, I’ll give you one month."
ssage failed to send.
"???"
’She really blocked !’
’How could his daughter be so reckless? He thought they were just exchanging threats, but she actually did it?’
Jun Xinghe switched to a different phone. "Two months. I agree. Starting today, within sixty days. I expect you to keep your promise."
Jun Qingng replied, "Fine."
Jun Xinghe put down his phone and leaned back in his chair.
He gazed at the pine and bamboo decoration on his desk, sighing heavily.
Two months. It was too long.
A man as outstanding as Jiang Liu could be snatched up by another girl by then.
"What am I going to do..."
Jun Xinghe thought about his daughter’s reckless and foolish behavior.
His eyelid started twitching.
’The more he thought about it, the more he felt his daughter was completely hopeless. Would Jiang Liu really be interested in her?’
"No, I have to make so preparations first."
Jun Xinghe picked up his desk phone and dialed his assistant general manager.
The call connected in three seconds.
"President Jun, what can I do for you?" asked General Manager Huang Zhiyou.
"You know that place I went to last ti in Xinxiang City, in South City?"
"Yes, I know it. What about it, President Jun?"
Jun Xinghe said, "I want you to see if there are any luxury properties for sale within a one-kiloter radius of that area. Preferably a detached house with its own courtyard. Buy it for . I want to build a small villa there."
The sound of a mouse clicking and a keyboard clattering ca through the phone.
Two minutes later.
Huang Zhiyou replied, "President Jun, there’s a detached house with a private courtyard 1,200 ters away. It’s not right on the main road, but in an alley. It’s one hundred and ten square ters, so not huge. The asking price is forty thousand per square ter."
Jun Xinghe was reasonably satisfied. "Alright, go negotiate for . I’ll give you thirty percent of whatever you get them to knock off the price as a bonus."
He hung up the phone.
Jun Xinghe’s mood improved slightly.
He planned to build a luxurious little villa on the property. If Jiang Liu and his daughter t, he’d give it to Jiang Liu as a greeting gift.
If the eting didn’t happen, he’d just keep it for himself.
Thinking of South City.
Jun Xinghe couldn’t stop himself from drooling at the thought.
His cravings were back.
It was as if Jiang Liu’s food had hooked his very soul and tethered it to South City.
"No, no, I have to go tomorrow. If I don’t, I’ll be miserable even in my dreams."
Jun Xinghe paced back and forth in his study, his hands clasped behind his back.
He was so impatient...
Then, a thought suddenly struck him.
He thought about eting his daughter’s boyfriend in two months.
His expression turned cold in an instant.
"You little bastard. I don’t know if you’re lucky or unlucky to have gotten tangled up with my daughter. Hmph."
