I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 3427 - 3419: Husband and Wifeโs Night Talk
Lu Xingchuan patted Lin Yiโs leg, didnโt say anything else, and took a sip from his wine glass. ๐ง๐๐๐๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฃ๐๐๐ท๐๐.๐ค๐ฐ๐
"Old man, are you going to the meeting tomorrow?"
"Even for a brief meeting, itโs good to take a look."
"Itโs being held at the compound?"
Liang Xianghe nodded, "Itโs in the back complex building. When you come tomorrow, bring the kids so they can watch them, and we can attend the meeting."
"Got it."
A little past seven in the evening, three women brought Little Nuonuo back.
The dinner was reaching its end, to avoid disturbing Liang Xiangheโs rest.
After leaving the Lu family, Lin Yi drove the mother and daughter to the hotel.
"I was so nervous; while taking Nuonuo out to play, my heart was pounding, so tense the entire time."
"It was my first time meeting Aunt Zhang too; there were never so many people before," Lin Yi said:
"It was just me and the old couple; most of the time, I had to cook."
"If you say that, it shows I have quite the pull."
"More than just pull; Uncle Lu and Aunt Zhang both came. I never had that kind of treatment."
Lin Yi drove, watching Little Nuonuo eat a cheese stick, "The old man has already paved her way. The rest is up to her."
"Paved the way?"
"You know what Uncle Lu does; I donโt need to say more. Aunt Zhang leads the international trade sector, both came today, thatโs what it implies."
"So Elder Lu paved a business path for her."
"Exactly, the political path is not suited for her."
"Not necessarily, what if Nuonuo has a talent in that area," Ji Qingyan defended for Nuonuo.
"Youโre good at languages, thereโs a word you must have heard, glass."
"Glass?"
"Whatโs its plural?"
"Glasses, drinking glasses."
"But my middle school teacher explained another meaning of this word."
"What?"
"An invisible barrier, or rather, a glass ceiling impeding womenโs development," Lin Yi said:
"If she takes this path, it will be tougher, and sheโll also see a ceiling. Business might offer more freedom in the long run."
After listening to Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan nodded seriously.
She understood Lin Yiโs viewpoint well.
For Lin Yi, Liang Ruoxu was a precedent.
Even though she was still in a functional department, she had been sidelined, her ceiling was seen, it was impossible for the Liang family to progress further through her.
Otherwise, they wouldnโt pin their hopes on Little Chengcheng.
Plus, they are urging her to have a second child.
"If she ventures into business, Chengcheng would have to go the political path, right?"
"Thatโs a beautiful thought."
"Beautiful thought."
"Treading on thin ice is a more apt description," Lin Yi said:
"Without exceptional abilities, you canโt reach high places. Whether heโs cut out for it, thatโs unknown, but with Lingyun Group and Chaoyang Group in her hands, sheโll have it easier. Moreover, Old Qi will assist her, so her bottom line wouldnโt be too low."
"Talking about this now seems a bit distant; the one most worth discussing is you."
"Me?"
"With your achievements now, reaching a high position seems very likely, right?"
In Ji Qingyanโs eyes, Lin Yi was a top performer in various domains.
No matter which path he chose, it wouldnโt be mediocre.
"I canโt, my ceiling is sealed."
"Huh?"
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi, astonished, "You are certainly flamboyant, but thatโs because of your unique position. If you were truly at Uncle Luโs level, youโd undoubtedly handle things deftly. How is your ceiling sealed?"
Lin Yi chuckled, "Ancestral background isnโt great."
"Huh? Ancestral background?"
"Her grandfather was the head of a gang; according to the old man, her great-grandfather also seemed to be a gang leader. Thereโs not a single decent person in the family, so when you reach high positions, whoโd dare to use you?"
Ji Qingyan laughed, leaning back and forth, "Seems Iโve entered a den of rogues, good thing youโre reformed; otherwise, who knows what you wouldโve been up to."
"Might still be selling houses at Chaoyang Group, never have the chance to marry someone like you, a rich and beautiful lady."
"Glad you know, Comrade Lin is quite aware," Ji Qingyan said with a smile:
"Though, because of your background, it might affect Chengcheng."
"No worries, my identity is hidden."
"Hidden?"
"Besides those around me, few know Iโm his father."
"Huh? You can even do that?"
"The logic of this circle is more complex than the business circle."
"Without top-notch skills, you really canโt navigate this circle."
"Thatโs why I sometimes think, when Nuonuo grows up, even if she doesnโt take over the family business, just finding someone she loves, who also loves her, and living a stable life together, would be nice."
Ji Qingyan turned slightly, looking at Lin Yi, her gaze deep.
"Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"
"Feels like our Director Lin is truly getting old."
"Why do you say that?"
"Back in your youthful days, galloping in splendor and seeing all the flowers of Changโan in a day, youโd never have said something so plain," Ji Qingyan laughed, "I remember when I was in junior high, my dad would come home from socializing over drinks, complaining to my mom about retiring at fifty, then sipping tea and walking dogs. Youโre in that phase now."
Lin Yi laughed.
His father-in-law had more leisure, watching female streamers when he had free time, much more relaxed than himself.
Soon, they returned to the hotel.
Little Nuonuo began feeling a bit drowsy, Lin Yi went to freshen up, while Ji Qingyan put her to sleep.
Early the next morning, Ji Qingyan got up early, prepared Lin Yiโs clothes.
When Lin Yi opened his eyes, he saw Ji Qingyanโs face right in front of him, giving him a real startle.
"What are you doing?"
"Quick, hurry, Iโve gotten your clothes ready, change into them quickly."
Lin Yi glanced aside and found his military uniform.
"Canโt wear this here," Lin Yi said getting up:
"This hotel costs several thousand a night; wearing this would lead to trouble."
"True, change in the car later."
"Letโs do it at the old manโs place."
"Okay," Ji Qingyan said with a cheerful smile:
"I must take more pictures later."
"I knew itโs for satisfying your selfish desires."
"Mainly because I rarely see you in this, a rare chance."
"No problem."
With business to attend, Lin Yi didnโt return to sleep; he went to the bathroom to freshen up, while Ji Qingyan dressed Little Nuonuo.
After a simple breakfast at the hotel, they headed to Liang Xiangheโs place.
"Come, come, come, Nuonuo, let me hold you."
Song Yuzhen held Little Nuonuo in her arms, "When they attend the meeting, you and the kid should stay here, donโt leave."
"I worry about disturbing you," Ji Qingyan said, feeling shy.
"Youโre really thin-skinned." Song Yuzhen laughed:
"Learn from your husband; he never hesitates when heโs here."
"I did bring fruit."
"Get lost; whoโd eat your lousy apples," Liang Xianghe scolded jokingly.
