Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 224: Passed the Probation Period (Monthly Ticket 1950+ Update)

The wife of the second uncle was startled by Qian and immediately stood up, "Dear, my head hurts, my whole body aches, oh no, this is serious, I need to see a doctor."

"Yes, yes, see a doctor!" The second uncle nodded in agreement.

Without even looking back, they were afraid that if they left late, Yu Minglang might really deal with them.

"Don’t stop taking your medicine, Second Aunt!" Qian shouted at them, thinking how these people dared to come provoke with their intelligence, their brains must be malfunctioning.

The second uncle’s family came in so ostentatiously, but left just as quickly.

Yu Minglang exchanged a few pleasantries with others, escorted them out, and returned with a bemused smile at Qian.

"I see you’re becoming more and more adept now, coming up with these words to fool people so effortlessly."

Qian replied seriously, "Did anyone hear me say that? Did you hear it? Your testimony is invalid!"

Yu Minglang was taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter. His lovely Mei, how could she be so endearing?

When is testimony invalid? Among family members, it’s like Mei is acknowledging his legitimate position, isn’t it, isn’t it!

Taking advantage of Jia Xiufang going upstairs to see the old lady, Yu Minglang leaned close to Qian’s ear and asked softly.

"Qian, is my probation period over?"

Qian gave him a sideways look, "Guess?"

Chen Zilong leaned over and asked Yu Minglang ingratiatingly, "Lang, what are you whispering to my sister?"

Yu Minglang imitated Qian’s tone, "Guess?"

Then, he was pushed heavily by Qian, "Get lost!"

As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son, and Yu Minglang as the prospective son-in-law is worth several sons.

In the afternoon, Jia Xiufang withdrew the initial compensation for the relocation and was dragged away by Qian and Yu Minglang.

They returned to the big hotel from last time, ordered a table of dishes, and Jia Xiufang said worriedly.

"Is it okay to leave your grandma alone at home? I always feel your second uncle won’t let it go easily, they can do anything."

"I’m actually afraid they won’t do anything..." Qian mumbled, sensing Yu Minglang’s enthusiastic gaze on her.

Yu Minglang was holding his drink with a knowing smile in his eyes, his beloved Mei had set another trap.

Qian glared back defiantly, what are you looking at, just because your eyes are big? I’m legitimate, legitimate, legitimate!

Yu Minglang poured the drink into her glass and said in a pretentious tone, "Mei, your awareness is getting higher and higher, not bad."

Qian snorted, "Obviously."

"What kind of riddles are you two playing again?" Jia Xiufang seemed to notice her daughter and her boyfriend exchanging some kind of eye contact, which they understood but looked confusing to outsiders.

"Nothing, Auntie, eat more, here, have some soup..." Yu Minglang got up and attentively served Jia Xiufang.

Halfway through the meal, the private room door opened, and a man in a suit walked in, smiling like a Buddha. When Qian saw him, wasn’t this Yu Minglang’s brother, the smiling tiger, Yu Mingli?

"Auntie, I’m Yu Minglang’s brother, Yu Mingli." Yu Mingli extended his hand warmly, and Jia Xiufang was a little overwhelmed.

This person often appears in local news, and although Qian mentioned him being Yu Minglang’s brother, seeing him in person still left her a bit flustered, unsure of what to say.

"Brother, don’t scare Auntie, what brings you here?" Yu Minglang hadn’t expected his brother to come in.

"I just happened to be here negotiating a deal, heard you were here, so I came to take a look. Auntie, is your meal going well? Let me add a few more dishes for you."

Yu Mingli exchanged pleasantries and had the kitchen bring out some heavy dishes, giving Yu Minglang enough face and showing his importance to Qian. Jia Xiufang hadn’t interacted with people of such status before and felt a bit restrained.

She thought rich people would be very aloof, but now they seemed quite approachable, just talking about mundane topics.

Jia Xiufang had no idea that Yu Mingli was like any businessman, polite with everyone, showing one face while having another inside. But he truly liked Qian, so he was even more amiable towards Jia Xiufang.

Yu Mingli poured Qian a glass of juice, chatted briefly about family matters, and casually mentioned, "Qian, is your family relocating?"

"Yes, we just signed the papers this afternoon."

"After that area is cleared, for the housing frames and construction materials, let Auntie find someone to recycle them, coincidentally it helps me, my brother’s recycling station needs these."

His intentions were expressed very well, sincerely, as if seeking a favor.

But Jia Xiufang gasped; this is...

Qian immediately understood, brother was trying to find a way to create revenue for her, all expressed politely, as if seeking help while actually providing an income source for her family.

"But isn’t material recycling controlled by local toughs? Can we, with no background, really do it?" asked Jia Xiufang.

Even Jia Xiufang knew that recycling materials from demolitions was a lucrative business. When a house is demolished, there’s a lot of scrap iron from the frames, and wood and other burning materials, and window frames among other things. A whole area being demolished, buying materials cheaply from demolition households and selling them at high prices to recycling centers can be significant income!

Because it’s so profitable, such jobs are usually contracted to people with the right connections, and those without connections would risk being severely beaten if they dared to attempt it.

Upon hearing Jia Xiufang’s question, Mr. Yu, beaming, said.

"The person in charge of that area happens to be an acquaintance of mine, I can make a few calls. Auntie, treat it as a favor for me, while Qian’s on break, have her help find workers and drivers."

What Mr. Yu meant was those matters were already cleared, you just need to send people over, with just a few words, there’s at least twenty thousand dollars to be earned.

For him, it’s small change, but Jia Xiufang was already dumbfounded.

So much money!!!

"White Tower Ridge is a smaller village, treat it as practice. Qian, help your mother out, if this village is managed well, next time I’ll give you a project with demolitions twice this scale."

More than this! Jia Xiufang swallowed, the words were too stimulating for a housewife like her.

"We have no experience... this, this really..."

"It’ll be fine, Auntie, I’ll find people to show Qian how to do it. To be honest, even though my family is large, most are employed, so I’m the only one outside running these matters. When Qian marries over, she’ll have to occasionally help me too, it’s like she’s helping my brother by relieving some of my worry, thank you Qian."

Qian did not answer yes or no, simply held her juice and told Mr. Yu, "Brother, you’re exaggerating, I can’t do it."

Yu Minglang had his own pride and wouldn’t interfere with his brother’s affairs, Mr. Yu knew this clearly, his brother was helping divide the burden, picking the most complicated task to hand over, providing more benefits for Qian, which was indirectly offering support to his brother.

The hidden meaning was clear to Qian, the old fox Yu Mingli seemed to be sending money to her family, but upon closer examination, he was tying her in.
