Chapter 334: Chapter 308: Supervisor’s Care
Translator: 549690339
As Yu Minglang was resolving the problem, Xiao Qian had already taken a seat in his uncle’s office, facing the test set by the uncle.
He said he wanted to have a chat with Xiao Qian, but as soon as she entered, he stood by the window and began reading so docunts, informing her casually that he had to be busy for a while and then proceeded to ignore her.
Xiao Qian observed him for a few more seconds, seemingly reminiscing about sothing.
“Is there sothing on my face?” the uncle asked..
“You resemble soone I used to know.” Why does he seem so familiar? It’s like I have a faint mory of him?
Xiao Qian toured around the room and stopped in front of a huge cabinet. On it, a group photo that surprised her – the majority shareholder, her uncle, also had a glorious past.
Despite having already beco a successful person, he still placed this group photo where it was easily visible. It was clear that he cherished those tis and it confird that he was a man of integrity… just like Yu Minglang’s father.
The uncle looked up from the docunts in his hand and glanced at Xiao Qian.
“Interested?”
“Well, you seem quite mysterious.”
In her previous life, she never had a chance to et his relatives, and Yu Minglang never ntioned them either. So, being able to visit his workplace was indeed a different kind of experience.
“What’s your view of Ming Lang?” The uncle inquired.
Xiao Qian was starting to get the drift. She was invited not just because they were interested in her involvent in the rescue today; this was an indirect test.
Although Yu Minglang was a very principled man who couldn’t be swayed by others if he believed he was right, if his elders had a bad impression of her, it could still lead to problems later on.
Xiao Qian didn’t like others ddling in her relationship, so winning over this elder relative seed absolutely crucial.
“I have a very good impression of him, and his parents have already accepted .”
Xiao Qian was forthright; she already knew how she should interact with this mysterious uncle.
She had discerned that he was a straightforward person and so, she directly inford him that Yu Minglang’s parents had already agreed to their relationship; Majority shareholder or not, he had no say in the matter of their relationship.
Xiao Qian’s bluntness amused him, “We’re just having a normal conversation, you can be relaxed and open-minded.”
“In my heart, he’s an ordinary man. I chose him regardless of his profession. If he’s busy with work, I’ll just wait for him. Whether he’s busy or not, I’m still fond of him.”
“It appears that you already know what I wanted to say.”
“Hmm, I’m a professional psychologist. I know what to say to whom. If you want to hear good things, I can say them because I understand your intentions. So, let’s be honest with each other and skip the platitudes.”
The uncle had to drop the act of being busy with paperwork; this girl was not playing by the rules.
“So, can you tell what my intentions are?”
Originally, he intended to see what kind of woman his most promising nephew liked. But, looking at how calm Xiao Qian was, he felt as if he was the one being seen through.
“I know you want to see if I support Yu Minglang’s work, and you want to examine whether my choice of him is based on his wealth and status. But I’m sorry uncle, I’m not very good at being tactful; my honest words probably aren’t what you want to hear. I just want to tell you one fact; Yu Minglang can’t live without , and I’m not soone who pays lip service. So, it’s best to get straight to the point. If we push it too far, it won’t be pleasant for either of us.”
Isn’t this exactly what Yu Minglang’s job is like, similar to chewing coarse food and grumbling inside at the sa ti?
“You really don’t fear offending people… What if I really want to hear the truth?” The uncle, who had dealt with countless people, was encountering a young person who was so direct and straightforward for the first ti, to the point where he didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
Shouldn’t a normal person express determination, support for work, articulate their convictions to their elders, and express belief in providing a strong backing?
But Xiao Qian simply stated that her honest thoughts surely weren’t what the uncle wanted to hear, even seeing through his intentions and bluntly addressing it!
“I’m just being brutally honest. This is his choice, I respect him, just like how he respects my work. My support for him has nothing to do with consciousness; it’s just because he’s worthy of my respect. So, let’s not talk about the selfsacrifice in waiting for a busy man in terms of work. I don’t see it that way. I’m willing to do things for the person 1 love, and let’s not talk about his wealth and whether I’m worthy. As I’ve said, his current choice is simply a career. Money alone is not enough to support each other perfectly throughout our lives.”
“Then in your opinion, how can both of you perfectly support each other throughout your lives?”
“Yu Minglang has his faith, and I have mine. His ambition is to carve out a career, and my faith cos from my support for the person I love. That’s all.”
Her words stopped short, but her intentions were clear.
“Now I truly believe how you managed to break down the ntal barriers of bad guys. Co, look at this.”
The uncle took out another group photo from the drawer.
Xiao Qian had seen this photo in her previous life on Yu Minglang’s desk; he treasured it. It was filled with his close brothers who had been through thick and thin with him.
“You’ve seen this photo before, haven’t you?”
“Yes, I rember. The man being hugged by Yu Minglang goes by the codena Lone Wolf, right?” In her previous life, Xiao Qian rembered asking who was the man being hugged by Yu Minglang, and he said his na was Lone Wolf.
After saying this, she locked herself in the room and didn’t co out the whole night.
“He passed away.”
Out of genuine respect for the deceased, Xiao Qian showed a solemn reverence.
“This company was started by , Ming Lang’s father and a few other people. We didn’t expect it to develop so well. Originally, I had retired and was just a shareholder at ho, but after the death of this son of mine, I returned to the company.”
The uncle pointed at the young man being hugged in the photo by Yu Minglang. The young man in the photo had a bright smile.
Xiao Qian finally rembered why the uncle seed so familiar. She had indeed seen the uncle once in her previous life, but she had seen the man in the photo countless tis!
So, the man in the photo resembles the uncle a lot because… they were father and son?!
The doubt in her mind finally made sense. Xiao Qian suddenly understood why the uncle chose to have a private conversation with her. Now, she could let go of all her misgivings about the way the uncle conversed with her and even appreciate his genuine feelings for Minglang.
He must have viewed Yu Minglang as his own son.
Because his son was no longer around, he went back to work to stifle his grief.
