Chapter 63

Wang Lin, Su Manyao's mother, suddenly asked Jiang Cheng if he had a girlfriend.

Jiang Cheng was stunned by the question, his gaze shifting to Wang Lin, who wore an auntie‑like smile; he shuddered and his rear tightened! Could it be they wanted to introduce their daughter to him as a girlfriend? It's no wonder Jiang Cheng thought that—after he'd pulled the little girl from the lake, many of the uncles and aunts surrounding him had tried to set him up with their daughters! Adding to that, just now this couple kept pressing him with favors! If there's a reason, judging from the situation, Jiang Cheng could only think of one: the couple had taken a liking to him and wanted to introduce their daughter as his girlfriend. Jiang Cheng quickly waved his hands and said, "I already have a girlfriend; we're getting along great and are even discussing marriage!"

Jiang Cheng's answer left the district director totally baffled! Just now he had been thinking that, if nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Cheng was the young man who had been rumored to be involved with the Boss's daughter last time! The Boss's special treatment of Jiang Cheng was practically treating him as a future son‑in‑law! Yet the Boss's wife, Wang Lin, suddenly asked whether Jiang Cheng had a partner—this shouldn't be happening!

Don't you even know whether he has a partner?

Isn't it just your daughter? Or am I mistaken?

Then he saw Jiang Cheng answer so quickly, and he became flustered, starting to wonder if he had gotten something wrong somewhere!

Su's father and mother were also startled upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words.

Su's mother turned her gaze to Chu Siqi behind Jiang Cheng, seeing confusion, bewilderment, and strong curiosity in Chu Siqi's eyes.

From that look, Chu Siqi and Jiang Cheng probably don't have that kind of relationship, but Su's mother still wasn't reassured and asked, "Is this pretty young lady your girlfriend? If so, congratulations to you two."

Chu Siqi quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm just the boss's employee."

She didn't dare to ruin Jiang Cheng's situation by impersonating his girlfriend—what if something went wrong?

The person just now said he could save the boss three years' rent, which amounts to hundreds of thousands!

Jiang Cheng calmly explained, "My girlfriend's work keeps her busy; she doesn't have time to come with me."

Su's father and mother both breathed a sigh of relief, and their gaze toward Jiacheng grew even more fervent!

From Jiang Cheng's answer one could tell he wasn't fooling around behind his daughter's back; he and this young lady were merely in a boss‑employee relationship, and even seemed not especially familiar or close as coworkers, appearing somewhat distant.

Moreover, the speed with which Jiang Cheng answered when asked if he had a partner shows that Jiang Cheng deeply loves his daughter and that their relationship is very good!

Ah! Wrong!

Wang Lin suddenly realized the key point and asked, "Have you and your girlfriend already discussed getting married?"

Su's father, upon hearing his wife's remark, also reacted, looking expectantly at Jiang Cheng! Their relationship has progressed so quickly—are they already at the stage of discussing marriage?

Jiang Cheng met their gazes, thinking they really wanted to introduce their daughter to him—otherwise why would they care so much about his private life? He then said, "Yes, my girlfriend and I have a great relationship; we will definitely get married. She said even if her parents disagree, we'll elope without a dowry!"

Su's father and mother exchanged a glance and sucked in a breath of cold air! They thought, When did we ever disagree? I wholeheartedly approve! Su's mother grew nervous, feeling she couldn't defend herself no matter how many mouths she had.

Such a handsome, sunny young man with a kind heart—how could I possibly disagree? "No, no, kid, definitely don't elope; his parents will surely agree!" Su's mother added, "You see, you get along well, you're hardworking and ambitious, you started your own business at such a young age, and most importantly, you have a kind heart—if his parents knew, they'd certainly approve."

The district director finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As an insider, his logic is still clear; he's figured out the situation: probably the Su family already knows Jiang Cheng is the rumored boyfriend of their daughter, but this young man Jiang Cheng before them doesn't realize that the Su couple are his girlfriend's parents.

And the Boss's wife was just probing for information!

Jiang Cheng hadn't thought of all that; he only felt he couldn't quite read these two people. Earlier he'd thought they wanted to introduce their daughter to him, but if they really wanted to set him up with a girl, why would they be so pleased hearing that he and his girlfriend get along well? Could it really be because they saw me rescue someone and want to copy my entrepreneurship?

Su's father also felt anxious, thinking he must definitely get Jiang Cheng to stay and start his business, otherwise he might really elope with Su Manyao! It's unnecessary, completely unnecessary!

He turned his eyes to the district director and said, "Director! I heard our district has a new policy with support programs for college‑student entrepreneurship?"

"You mean decorating enterprises, providing structural support, so college‑student entrepreneurs can start worry‑free and just move in with their luggage, right?"

"Ah? Ah?" "Exactly, exactly, exactly, exactly!" The district director reacted quickly and interjected, "The full policy hasn't been announced yet; we're looking for quality enterprises to serve as test sites!"

"I think Jiang Cheng's enterprise is fine; it can be our test subject!"

After the district director spoke, he felt something was off and quickly added, "I see Jiang Chen as an honest, trustworthy person; I heard he just rescued someone, right? I trust the judgment in the book, and I'll designate the newly born enterprise as our first test company."

After saying that, he also told a nearby assistant, "Make a note of this."

The assistant beside him said, "We."

The district director cut him off, "Never mind 'we'; just wait until we go back and then issue the announcement!"

The assistant fell silent.

Well, these rules and policies are just ad‑hoc; he has a feeling that if the young man before him now uttered a single word of dissatisfaction, the policy just set could be changed on the spot. "Do you find this satisfactory?" After arranging all this, Su's mother asked with a smile.

Jiang Cheng replied cutely, "Satisfied, very satisfied."

He really didn't dare say dissatisfied, for fear that if he did, this crowd might come up with some trick!

Give him any more and he really wouldn't dare take it! Three years' rent waived, taxes discounted, now the renovation and office building framework are fully covered—truly just move in with your luggage!

Deng Siqi followed behind Jiang Cheng, and everyone stared in disbelief! Earlier, seeing the boss go rescue someone, he had been worried and kept thinking when he should advise the boss not to be so reckless.

But now his mind holds only one thought: rescue, rescue, rescue—save more!

If he could do it all over again, without the boss stepping in, he'd jump into the water himself! Whether he can swim doesn't matter; the main thing is his love for helping others!
