Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother! -
Chapter 215 heading to Zhongxing
Chapter 215: 215 heading to Zhongxing
As soon as Jun Jiu stepped into the room, before he had a chance to greet Young Master Yan, he saw Miss Yan staring at him with an ardent gaze.
That expression, as if he was some kind of Savior?
Ah, that’s not right! Ptui, ptui, ptui! This is the future matriarch we’re talking about!!
Jun Jiu felt like he was floating. How dare he audaciously use such a word to describe himself?!
"Ahem..." He blushed with shame, bowing his head as he said, "Old Master Yan, Miss Yan, my name is Jun Jiu, sent by the family head to assist Miss Yan."
Yueqing was very enthusiastic: "Jun Jiu, is it? Please, have a seat."
Jun Jiu nodded his head and called out to the two little ones, "Young Master Wang, Young Master Yan," before he obediently sat down.
Yueqing poured him a cup of tea: "Mr. Jun must be exhausted from traveling overnight."
Guests usually arrive during the day, but Jun Lii had just returned, and Jun Jiu was dispatched soon after, which was rather harsh.
How could Jun Jiu dare accept her calling him Mr. Jun?
If the family head heard it, wouldn’t he freeze him with his gaze?!!
"Miss Yan, you can just call me by my name, no need to be so polite as to call me Mr. Jun..." Jun Jiu thought for a moment. "Just like the family head, you can also call me Xiao Jiu."
Yueqing smiled in response: "Alright, then I’ll take the liberty of calling you Xiao Jiu."
Actually, Jun Jiu was older than Yueqing. His investigation report showed that Yueqing was 25, turning 26 next month.
He himself was 28 this year, okay?
But he dared not let Miss Yan call him ’brother’!
As a person, one must live rationally, not presumptuously seek death!
If she really called him ’brother,’ it wouldn’t be the family head who gets upset, but the young family head who would be looking down in displeasure.
Yueqing took a serious look at Jun Jiu.
He was quite young, resembling the boy-next-door described in romance novels, with a delicate kind of gentleness.
Jun Yan had mentioned that his father was a bit of a sucker for looks; the people staying at home never looked bad! Take Uncle Xiao Jiu, for example; although he wasn’t the most powerful assistant in the Jun Family, he was definitely the most handsome among them.
When it came to capabilities, uncles Jun Yi and Jun Chi were no less formidable than dad. They usually stayed overseas and rarely came back. Uncle Xiao Jiu, well~ he was a bit behind them, but he always stayed with the Jun Family and rarely had assignments outside.
Yueqing didn’t believe it.
Jun Lii didn’t seem like someone who would do things half-heartedly.
Add to that Yan Bao’s current view of his dad which was a bit of an ugly filter — no good words about dad ever come out!
Therefore, his words should be taken as a reference~
If Jun Jiu could stay by Jun Lii’s side for many years, there must be a reason!
His appearance seemed gentle and tender, but his eyes, calm as water, held a subtle firmness, clearly a man who had seen much of the world.
Thus, she concluded in her heart — Jun Jiu was most likely a gentle smiling tiger.
Jun Jiu: Ah yes, yes, yes! Please think of me that way!!!
Jun Yan: Mom, you have to believe me! Uncle Jun Jiu ranks ninth among all assistants for a reason~
Yueqing raised a smile and began to engage in a warm and friendly conversation with Jun Jiu.
"Xiao Jiu, I bought a plot of land for Yan Bao. I’m planning to start some companies later."
"The family head has mentioned this, and I’ve already prepared the relevant documents and materials."
Yueqing nodded: "Tomorrow, I need to take my sons to Magic Capital for a bit. As for the land, you can hand it over to Lawyer Qian. Moreover, the company’s affairs can wait. There’s another more pressing matter that needs your attention right now..."
She explained the matter about the live streaming platform.
Jun Jiu didn’t expect Miss Yan to trust him so much, assigning him a mission right away, which moved him to the brink of tears.
He had thought that she wouldn’t recognize his merit and sideline him, QQ!
He exclaimed excitedly, "Alright! I’ll start dealing with the live streaming platform right away."
Yan Yueqing: ๐•ᴗ•๐
Jun Jiu: ૮₍˃̶ꇴ˂̶₎ა
The two of them reached an agreement during their enjoyable conversation.
At the Jun Residence.
Jun Lii stuffed a book into the massive bookshelf.
Housekeeper Mu brought over some tea, his voice hushed, "Xiao Jiu has already arrived at the Yan Family."
Jun Lii responded indifferently with a hum.
After sterilizing the tea set, Housekeeper Mu said, "Master, Jun Chi will return to the country in the next couple of days. Since you’re helping Miss Yan with the company matters, why not send him instead of Jun Jiu?"
"Jun Chi is too ruthless; I’m afraid he might scare her," Jun Lii lifted his eyelids, the dark and ancient depths of his eyes gradually warmed with softness.
"If he were to be around the future matriarch, Jun Chi would naturally restrain his character."
Jun Lii shook his head, "Even if he restrains himself, there will be times when his true nature shows through. Besides, when it comes to managing a company, Xiao Jiu is more than capable. He’s ranked ninth, but his current strength could place him in the top three."
What he implied was, he did not send Jun Jiu over just because he couldn’t bear to waste his talent on small tasks.
Housekeeper Mu understood, and suddenly smiled, "Xiao Jiu is lively. With him over there, the Yan Family must be very lively."
"As long as she is happy," Jun Lii said.
Sending Jun Jiu over was a decision Jun Lii had pondered over for a long time.
The Jun Family had two sharp blades, one was Jun Yi, and the other was Jun Chi. Both of them had incredibly somber dispositions. Sending them to assist Ah Xing would be like sending someone to supervise her instead of providing support, what with their perpetually cold demeanor!
Capability was one thing, but social interaction skills must keep pace too.
Jun Jiu was the perfect embodiment of both!
After years by his side, he dealt with matters easily and was always grinning, though Jun Lii had no idea what he found so amusing.
Even when he lost a bet with Housekeeper Mu and had to clean the toilets, Jun Jiu managed to act cheerful, inspiring sympathy from the elder ladies in the garden who volunteered to clean up with him.
With a great personality and capability, sending him to accompany Ah Xing couldn’t be more appropriate!
He hoped that the person he sent would quickly integrate with the Yan Family, gain Ah Xing’s approval, and not just serve as a cold, inanimate tool.
As for Xiao Yan, it would be good enough if he didn’t speak ill of him on a daily basis!
Out of thousands of choices, Jun Lii specifically selected someone who whispered in his ear and showed wit.
It seemed Housekeeper Mu guessed the master’s intentions and smiled lightly.
On the other side, Jun Jiu was arranged into a guest room, very close to Qian Yezhou’s courtyard.
Since Qian Yezhou was about to be sent to the Jiang Family for learning, and his time was limited, he immediately went over with the documents to hand over as soon as he heard someone from the Jun Family had arrived.
Both being workaholics, they were utterly immersed in their work discussions.
This annoyed Lin Qiming, who gnawed on a handkerchief at their side.
But Zhou Zhou’s serious demeanor was also irresistibly charming...
Take a good, long look, take a good, long look! He would be returning to the capital tomorrow, and it might be a long time before he saw his partner again.
After the work documents were handed over, Jun Jiu walked away cheerfully with a huge pile of materials, and only then did Qian Yezhou lightly raise his chin, "Sitting stiff all night, feeling sore?"
Lin Qiming hummed as he approached him, intending to feign annoyance on purpose.
Qian Yezhou pulled him over, "Come here, let me massage it for you."
Lin Qiming: Hm? Is there such a good thing?!
All his previous vexation evaporated in an instant~~~~~~
The next day.
Yan Yueqing, with her three little treasures in tow, left Jiang Garden under Old Master Yan’s teary gaze.
