Chapter 1544: Helplessness

All of them looked at their father helplessly, knowing Feifei hit the nail on the head.

“Dad, don’t overwork yourself.” Tingting looked at Wei Kaiyun with concern.

“You all relax, I know I have you and your mom, I won’t push myself too hard. I’m in the Ministry of Finance, there won’t be any physical work.”

Jiang Xinyu gave Wei Kaiyun a sideways glance, “Honestly, a bit of physical labor would be better. Just sitting there drains the brain, and if you go bald or get fat, I’ll definitely find you unpleasant.”

Wei Kaiyun gave his wife a resentful look. How could she be so direct? He really needed to pay attention from now on.

“Dad, it’s already great that you didn’t leave the city.” Shi Jing also comforted his father.

While Wei Kaiyun was pleased with the kids’ concern, what he needed most now was his wife’s comfort.

To be honest, he really didn’t want to work, but it was his old boss who cultivated him. Not to mention going through thick and thin for him, but when the old boss makes arrangements, neither he nor Old Yang will refuse.

After dinner, the family sat in the living room, and Wei Kaiyun gave instructions to the children.

“I’ll be very busy from now on. So you all must not worry me. Shi Jing, your job isn’t to study but to watch over Feifei; you cannot let our princess be aggrieved.”

Shi Jing nodded, while Feifei wrinkled her nose, “Dad, my brother and I are evenly matched. I don’t need him to look after me.”

Wei Kaiyun shook his head, “No, I won’t be at ease.”

To reassure their father about going to work, Feifei nodded and agreed.

“Shi Xian, Tingting, you two also need to work hard.”

The younger ones nodded; with excellent siblings above them, they too felt pressured, didn’t they?

Though they won’t say it, they’ve all resolved to strive diligently.

That night, Wei Kaiyun was quite enthusiastic, “Wifey, I don’t want to leave you, I want to see you every day, how about you come to work too, be my secretary, so I can see you often.”

“I’m not going, I don’t like being constrained. I know my abilities well, I certainly won’t pretend to be strong.”

Thinking about starting work tomorrow, Wei Kaiyun felt he would be neglecting his wife and kids, and was truly reluctant.

Despite many envying him, he never really valued the position.

Old Yang too was cuddling his wife, talking about going to work tomorrow.

“Is it safe?”

Old Yang chuckled, “Of course it’s safe. Don’t worry about me, I’ll just be sitting in the office. What danger could there be?”

“That’s alright, remember you have a wife and kids.”

“Of course I know. You also need to remember you’re a woman with a husband and kids.”

“Haha, don’t worry about me.”

The Yang Family also knew about Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang’s positions.

“He Run, this leader does seem to know everyone well, arranging such a position for Wei Kaiyun. Honestly, it really suits him.”

“That Qi Guangye isn’t someone with a big heart,” Yang Run Tai said with a smile.

“He won’t stand a chance.”

Yang Run Tai nodded, indeed, he hasn’t shown much capability, “If he honestly serves as a leader, he can reach retirement; but if he provokes Wei Kaiyun, it’s uncertain.”

“Haha, in fact, Wei Kaiyun’s little heart isn’t that big either,” Yang Jiu Long said with a smile.

Yang Run Tai just laughed; he had long known Wei Kaiyun’s small-mindedness.

“Now, both of them count as promoted.”

“Let’s see if Wei Kaiyun has ambition. Even if he doesn’t, it will be forced upon him.”

The father-son pair finished discussing and returned to their rooms to rest.

Yang Run Tai happened to bump into Yang Zhongyi.

The two exchanged glances and went together to Yang Run Tai’s room.

“Uncle, are you going to escort Aunt to school tomorrow?”

Yang Zhongyi nodded, “Of course I will.”

This left Yang Run Tai assured, no matter what, Uncle now has a complete family.

“Naturally. Uncle, Aunt is a very capable woman.”

Yang Zhongyi sat down. “I knew from the start; you know our situation best; it’s purely a partnership.”

“Uncle, you now have Shihao and Si Jia.”

Yang Zhongyi nodded, “I know, I will never let down my wife, kids, or family. Though I can’t give her a man’s love for a woman, I’ll definitely give her a stable home.”

Yang Run Tai looked at Yang Zhongyi, thinking his uncle was too naive. Yet he didn’t expose him.

Their couple was a perfect match, but a natural fit was still a good thing. Previously, both were solitary souls, now they’ve made a family, even blessed with a pair of twins.

“Alright, I’m going to rest.”

Yang Run Tai bathed and sat down to read the newspaper; school officially starts tomorrow.

Going to college was to make up for the regrets of a previous life, and also to not be too radical at this time, waiting till graduation to just avoid the past life’s hurdles.

The next day. The Wei Kaiyun family was very busy; four school-going kids, and two needing to go to work. Only Shang Zhenkun was left at home.

During breakfast, Jiang Xinyu mentioned hiring another nanny, considering Shang Zhenkun’s age, it’s worrying to leave him alone at home.

Shang Zhenkun didn’t like it, but seeing everyone worried about him, he finally agreed. Not wanting them to worry about him while away was the reason.

“Xinyu, Old Zhang in the workshop, his family should be looking for work; ask about her situation.”

Jiang Xinyu nodded; she had some impression of that woman, someone very neat and swift, “Alright, I’ll go and have her try today, mainly she needs to be of use to Master Shang.”

Shang Zhenkun shook his head, “Don’t worry about my opinion. If she’s good, I can stay longer; if I don’t like her, it’s okay, as long as she suits your needs. You’ll all be busy whether working or studying, so hiring someone is quite good.”

After breakfast, the family went separate ways. Wei Kaiyun rode his bike to the office.

Being the first to arrive, he waited there, internally ranting, being so early, why?

After another quarter hour, someone finally arrived.

Qi Guangye learned yesterday his supervisor was giving him an assistant.

Upon investigation, he found out his new assistant used to be a textile factory director; how did he rise so fast? Now he’s his assistant.

Arriving this morning and seeing Wei Kaiyun, Qi Guangye immediately felt threatened, hence internally disliking Wei Kaiyun.

Wei Kaiyun felt Qi Guangye was just a passerby.

The two didn’t have good impressions of each other, quite synchronized, both rejecting one another.

Though, Wei Kaiyun wouldn’t strike without reason.
