In the Gu Family’s courtyard.

Mother-in-law Yu Ling saw Lin Yue helping with the laundry and asked her with a smile, "Feng has been very busy lately, having no time to accompany you, do you resent him?"

"Mom, stop testing me. I myself have a strong career ambition, let alone men. He must be busy with something. I think it’s good for a man to be busy. I really don’t hold any grudges," Lin Yue said with a smile.

This was truly how she felt.

Lin Yue didn’t know how long her marriage with Gu Feng would last, but she hoped for the best for him every day.

Even if she left one day, he would have his own career to keep him busy, leading a splendid life.

And she, too, would remember this wonderful marriage with gratitude.

"Feng did take on a new job recently," Yu Ling said with a smile.

"Really?" Lin Yue’s eyes widened slightly. "Is he going back to the military?"

She had seen how strong Gu Feng was personally and felt that it suited him and would make him happy.

If Gu Feng could return to the military camp he loved, Lin Yue would be happy for him.

"Yes, more or less, so he’s going to be particularly busy recently," Yu Ling said, who had been very festive lately, as had the entire Gu Family.

A family with double Hall Masters.

Probably only Lin Yue, who kept away from external affairs and was secluded from news, didn’t know.

She simply had no way of finding out.

Relatives like Yu Yue, who held important positions, could be the first to know the news.

Purely an outsider, Lin Yue was truly cut off from information!

Gu Feng hadn’t specifically told her either, since boasting was not his style.

But he planned to let Lin Yue watch an internal broadcast at home on the day of the ranking ceremony.

It was a solemn ceremony that family members couldn’t attend.

All the Hall Masters and Elders would preside, and all frontline heads of various departments would attend.

However, certain levels of internal staff could watch through a live broadcast.

Including family members.

"It’s okay, let him work hard on the career he loves," Lin Yue patted her chest. "I’ll take care of making money in the future."

She then started laughing cheerfully.

But soon, she worriedly asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, if Gu Feng is returning to the military, as his wife, would it be inappropriate for me to run a business?"

Yu Ling laughed, "At your dad’s level, who would care? Look, aren’t all the younger people in the families out there exchanging resources for their living? As long as it’s legal and proper, you’ll be fine. If you don’t want trouble, just resign from the corporate position later, find a manager to handle the business for you."

"Besides, your corporate annual profit isn’t even as much as what your aunt earns in dividends at the state-owned enterprise, nobody would bother your husband over such a small amount of money!"

Lin Yue blushed with embarrassment, feeling despised again. Last time it was the financial report from Gu Feng’s fund company that shamed her, and now it was a ruthless blow from her mother-in-law!

But she quickly responded, "Aunt makes that much money in a year?"

Yu Ling replied, "Of course, she can’t control that money alone; she just represents the family to manage it."

While the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law were chatting, Aunt Yu Yue pushed open the door and came in smiling, pulling Lin Yue up, "Come on, I’ll take you shopping. Today in all of Beijing, whatever you want to buy, it’s on me."

Yu Ling rolled her eyes.

She knew her sister was trying to win Lin Yue over, but what could she do when her husband was promoted to Hall Master!

And with his strong momentum, he was the rising star within the extended family.

She definitely had a favor to ask.

It was a case of keeping benefits within the family; she wanted to find a job for her own husband.

Yu Yue’s husband worked at the state-owned enterprise, just like her.

Both held deputy positions. Though under the shelter of the Yu and Gu family backgrounds, their positions in the state enterprise circle weren’t considered low, they weren’t enough in the real administrative system.

Previously, important family resources were given to the men, like Gu Dadong being appointed as Hall Master.

As for Gu Yuan, he was transferred to Jiangcheng and planning to join the administrative circles there, aiming to blossom on both sides.

Naturally, the only corporate profit-sharing positions available to the families would be for Yu Yue and her husband.

But now, with the rise of a new Hall Master in the Gu family, a new department emerged.

A whole new financial system and opportunities lay before her. Although her husband wasn’t a combat soldier, Gu Feng’s new department had plenty of civil administrative logistics positions available—perfect for her husband to slowly gold-plate his career!

She definitely needed to find her nephew Gu Feng for this, but the guy was too busy, so Yu Yue planned to first win over Lin Yue, her pillow-side breeze.

So she specifically came from the company, knowing Lin Yue was indeed bored at home lately, to take her out for a walk.

Gu Feng probably didn’t want his wife, rarely in Beijing, to be home alone all day without company.

Lin Yue was indeed bored, she might have refused had she not known about her aunt’s high income.

Now that her mother-in-law mentioned that her aunt was even wealthier, Lin Yue didn’t hold back anymore, politeness aside.

After hanging the laundry, she rushed into the house carrying a basin, "Aunt, wait for me to change clothes."

Then, Lin Yue transformed from a homey, girl-next-door beauty into a glamorous, urban supermodel.

"Mom, I’m off then, I’ll be back before dinner," Lin Yue said to her mother-in-law with a smile.

"Go on, have fun," Yu Ling nodded, her face full of indulgence.
