Chapter 363: Lin Wei's Worry

Chen Biwu, upon hearing that Chen Yang wanted him to give money to Zhong Lin for business, immediately furrowed his brow.

"A rural girl with no experience and little education—what business could she possibly run?"

Chen Yang said to Chen Biwu: "Our company's franchise stores come with full service, from procurement to sales, with dedicated guidance. If Zhong Lin invests in a few more stores, we can guarantee a stable income."

Chen Biwu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed with Chen Yang's suggestion. After all, a wealthy daughter-in-law is always better than a penniless one with no background.

After this topic ended, Chen Biwu also left with his wife and Chen Bing.

After they left, Hu Qingwan kindly asked Chen Yang: "Child, didn't Secretary Chen give you a hard time just now?"

"No." Chen Yang shook his head with a smile: "I think Uncle Chen is still quite reasonable."

"He's reasonable?" Hu Qingwan snapped: "After you and Weiwei got your certificate, your father went to the provincial office once, got chewed out by him, and came back to Clear Water feeling depressed for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang felt even more sympathy for his father-in-law. He looked at Lin Jianguo and saw him alone in the villa's garden, puffing on a gloomy cigarette.

Just as Chen Yang was observing Lin Jianguo, Lin Jiangye's wife Chu Qinlang walked over with a smile.

"Chen Yang, I heard you arranged for Xiao Mi to study at City No. 1 Middle School. Can you also arrange for Junjie to study there?"

Lin Junjie and Lin Xiao Mi are the same age, both in first year of junior high. Chen Yang has plenty of housing quotas in the City No. 1 Middle School district and is on good terms with the principal, so arranging for Lin Junjie to attend City No. 1 Middle School would definitely be easy.

However, Chen Yang felt a bit embarrassed. If he immediately agreed to the request, how would Lin Jianguo and Lin Wei view him?

"Aunt, the spots at City No. 1 Middle School are tight; I need to consult first before I can give you an answer."

Chu Qinlang said: "I heard Xiao Mi say you have a close relationship with the principal of City No. 1 Middle School. If you have time, go say hello—I'm sure we can work it out."

Chen Yang hadn't expected her to come prepared, so he could only keep stalling: "Aunt, I'll first call the principal and let you know when I have news."

"Alright, then thank you!" Chu Qinlang left with a happy face.

Chen Yang waited until she walked away, then looked at Hu Qingwan and Lin Wei and whispered: "Should I agree or oppose?"

Hu Qingwan sighed: "We're all family; if we don't help with such a small matter, word will get out and people will laugh at us."

Chen Yang greatly admired this mother-in-law's breadth of mind. When it comes to emotions, they're emotions; but when it's something that should be done for the younger generation, she's never vague.

Since Hu Qingwan had spoken, Chen Yang immediately called the principal of City No. 1 Middle School and settled Lin Junjie's enrollment issue.

At dinner, Chu Qinlang again said to Chen Yang: "Chen Yang, you're fairly familiar with the Sunshine Garden Community; could you recommend a suitable apartment? I want to rent it to accompany Junjie while he studies."

Chen Yang froze for a moment. He didn't quite grasp Chu Qinlang's meaning. Was she genuinely wanting to rent a place, or did she have something else in mind?

"Aunt, Xiao Mi is currently staying at my aunt's place. If you don't mind, you could let Junjie share a room with Xiao Mi. I'll get them a bunk bed. With my aunt looking after their daily needs, you can also relax in Dongyang County while accompanying your second uncle."

Chu Qinlang, hearing this, said with some worry: "Kids these days are rebellious, and middle school is the worst period. If I'm not around, what if he falls in with bad company and learns bad habits?"

How pitiful parents' hearts are worldwide; Chen Yang couldn't really refute this, so he said: "The house opposite my aunt is still vacant. If you really want to accompany him, you can do a simple renovation and move in."

"Then thank you." That was exactly what Chu Qinlang wanted to hear from Chen Yang, and she immediately burst into a happy laugh.

At that moment, Old Master Lin suddenly said: "Chen Yang, your second uncle is an honest official with little savings. You'll have to front the money for the renovation. Once Junjie gets into a good university, your second uncle will certainly not shortchange you."

Chen Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Lin Jiangye's territory is in Xian County, which has nothing to do with his agricultural products trading company.

Even if there were future business dealings, it would be the common people's agricultural products trading company supporting Xian County's economic development.

Chen Yang could only agree to solve Chu Qinlang's renovation problem.

His actions immediately provoked Lin Wei's dissatisfaction. At bedtime, she couldn't help but complain.

"Honey, you just love meddling. Would your second uncle's family really lack funds to renovate a house? Why must you help?"

Chen Yang helplessly said: "Your grandfather has spoken; as his grandson-in-law, how can I refuse?"

Lin Wei snorted: "Grandfather just knows how to play favorites. He makes us put up the house and pay for the renovation—why doesn't he take out his own pension to give to the second uncle?"

Chen Yang laughed: "If he took out his pension, you'd probably get even angrier."

Lin Wei thought for a moment and found it quite reasonable. If her grandfather handed over all his savings to the second uncle, the ones who'd be most unhappy would definitely be their family.

"Honey, this house can be let to Second Aunt to live in, but the ownership must absolutely not be given. We can't keep letting others take advantage."

"Okay, I got it." Chen Yang replied.

Actually, giving the house to Chu Qinlang wouldn't matter. As long as Lin Jiangye in Xian County secures a few policy preferences for the common people's company, everything is covered.

Of course, Lin Wei is currently angry; Chen Yang dare not act against her mood.

"Honey, if I really go to work in Shuangfeng Town, you need to increase investment there. I want to let grandfather know who the most capable person in the Lin family is."

"Okay, I'll fully cooperate with your work." Chen Yang replied, never expecting that Old Master Lin's behavior would also spark Lin Wei's fighting spirit to strive upward.

With Chen Yang's promise, Lin Wei's performance in bed became more vigorous.

Seeing Zhong Lin and Du Yue'e's bellies growing bigger, she inexplicably also felt the urge to become a mother.

But, after over a month without contraception, her belly still showed no reaction. This made her heart begin to hesitate, torn over whether to go to the hospital for a checkup.

If it turns out she truly cannot bear children, that would really be a problem.

Lin Wei didn't want a third party to appear in her relationship with Chen Yang. Moreover, she didn't want a third party to seize the opportunity because of her.

So, she wholeheartedly did pregnancy preparations each time. Unfortunately, it always ended in blossoming without fruit.

Chen Yang had no idea what Lin Wei was thinking. After a night of passion, he directly drove to Xingcheng Food Limited Company.

Since he had agreed with Huo Yunyan to buy out Xingcheng Food Limited Company, he had to acquire it at the smallest possible cost.

The transfer fee couldn't be too high.

Not a single executive who shouldn't stay can be kept!
