Chapter 828: 822. Persuasion (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

The reason for limiting the time to three days is that if it takes too long, it proves one thing: Meng Shu is still not quite willing to agree.

Therefore, three days is neither too much nor too little.

It is enough for him to consider carefully, yet it gives him a certain deadline for a decision; if he were to drag his feet, then he would lack the decisiveness that Zhang Ran needs.

When Meng Shu returned home, Meng Gu and Xiaomin were both looking at him full of anticipation.

"What are you looking at me for?" Meng Shu frowned and said.

Meng Gu said with a grin: "Dad, what does this Zhang Shu do?"

Meng Shu thought for a moment and said: "Didn't I say before? I used to be a bodyguard; I was just a bodyguard for Brother Zhang."

Regarding Zhang Ran's age, Meng Gu had also asked a little before and received an ambiguous answer.

So, hearing this now, he was not very surprised.

Meng Shu saw his son wanting to say something else and immediately frowned: "Alright, stop with those little schemes of yours. Tell me, what can you actually do yourself?"

"I... I just wanted to see..." Meng Gu felt a bit guilty under Meng Shu's gaze.

At this moment, Xiaomin stepped forward and said: "Dad, actually Meng Gu just wanted to ask if this Zhang Shu could look after us. We can see that this Zhang Shu is a man who does big business; even Dong Changhai treats him with great respect.

So we were thinking of seeing if we could get Zhang Shu to help out; that would be good for Meng Gu's future development."

When it came to this, the expressions of both Meng Shu and Xiaomin were a bit strange, because Dong Changhai was not treating Zhang Ran with respect, but rather seemed to be scared out of his wits.

So Meng Gu and Xiaomin discussed whether they could latch onto Zhang Ran's coattails; if they could, then Meng Gu's future development would truly soar.

Who is Dong Changhai?

He is a famous wealthy man around here, yet when facing Zhang Ran, he didn't even dare to speak loudly, let alone contradict him.

Just because his own father is Zhang Ran's bodyguard, the attitude toward his father had done a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

Meng Shu didn't find it easy to treat his pregnant daughter-in-law the same way he treated Meng Gu, so he softened his tone slightly and said: "Xiaomin, it's not that Dad won't let Brother Zhang help you.

I know Meng Gu's situation, and you know it too. Forcing an arrangement is certainly no problem, but think about it, what can Meng Gu do?

Give him a company to be the Manager? He isn't cut out for that."

After thinking for a moment, Meng Shu simply said directly: "Besides, Brother Zhang asked me to come this time because he wants me to work, which counts as a job with a very generous salary."

"Xiaomin, actually I don't ask for anything else from you; as long as you can live your lives well and live peacefully, your mother and I will be satisfied."

The implication behind these words was also clear: Meng Gu does not have the ability, so don't force him into a position.

Furthermore, his future salary would be enough to support them directly without any issues.

After all, Meng Shu only has Meng Gu as a son; when the time comes to prepare a dowry for his daughter, the rest will all be for Meng Gu and the others anyway.

Since Meng Shu had said this much, Meng Gu and Xiaomin couldn't say anything else, and they had only been holding onto a little hope just now; it wasn't as if they absolutely had to latch onto Zhang Ran.

Now that Meng Shu had reconnected, that was also good.

"Dad, what kind of work did Zhang Shu ask you to do?" Meng Gu asked curiously.

Gu Qingmei had not spoken just now, and now she was looking at her husband with worried eyes.

She understood what her husband used to do; it was called being a bodyguard, but the level of danger was not small.

The scars on Meng Shu's body haven't even healed yet.

There are gunshot wounds, knife wounds, and so on; these clearly told her a fact, which was that Meng Shu's work was not easy.

Meng Shu saw his wife's worry and said with a smile: "It counts as being in charge of a project, but this project is in Africa, so I expect I will be staying abroad all year round.

Xiaomin, Meng Gu, you should come back to visit more often. If that really doesn't work, we'll go buy a bigger house, and you can live with your mother; that way, it will be more convenient."

Now, Meng Shu has the confidence to say such things.

Xiaomin actually didn't have any objections; compared to other people's fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, she had no prejudice against her parents-in-law, and in fact, affection occupied the majority of her feelings.

Because ever since she married into the Meng Family, her parents-in-law had never given her a hard time, and they took care of her feelings in every way.

Take this time for example; if you really want to talk about it, it could be considered her being unreasonable.

But in the end, Meng Shu and Gu Qingmei both chose to agree to her.

"Great, that way, Mom can even help me take care of the baby, and I can go back to work sooner," Xiaomin said with a smile.

Gu Qingmei wanted to say something, but Meng Shu didn't give her the chance to speak and said to Meng Gu and the others: "Alright, if you have time now, go look at some houses.

Any kind of house is fine; it doesn't matter if you use the money we have on hand as a down payment; my salary will be enough in the future anyway."

These words were spoken very grandly; they now have three million on hand, so if that were just a down payment, what a nice house that would be.

However, Meng Gu and Xiaomin were both very happy to hear it; after staying at home for a little while, they hurriedly went out to look at houses.

Xiaomin could still barely walk around now, but in another month, it probably wouldn't be easy for her to go out.

It was just right to take advantage of this time to settle the matter of the house.

When only the old couple, Meng Shu and Gu Qingmei, were left, Gu Qingmei's worried expression was completely undisguised.

"Alright, don't worry. I know what you are worried about. Actually, it's not as complicated as you think. You don't have to think about it; I'm old now, and I haven't touched those things for so many years, so my physical fitness and personal skills are not what they used to be.

So it's not the kind of work you're thinking of. After all, with Brother Zhang's current status and identity, if he just calls out, what kind of person can't he find?

It's just that Brother Zhang trusts me and wants me to help look after some things, just like doing business and asking a trusted friend to help look after the account books."

"This is Brother Zhang's trust in me, and I don't want to let that trust down. Actually, you also understand that we were the ones who let Brother Zhang down back then, and now it can actually be considered a form of compensation."

As he spoke, Meng Shu hugged Gu Qingmei.

Gu Qingmei was worried at first, but after hearing Meng Shu's analysis, she instantly realized that she had completely overthought it.

Just as Meng Shu said himself, his physical fitness and all other aspects were no longer suitable for his old job, so there wouldn't be any major danger.

"I know, but you still have to be careful."
