Chapter 34

Not possible in principle

The next morning, the golden cicada was singing loudly outside. Jiang Mu slowly opened his eyes and saw the dragonfly jade standing on the branch in front of the window sill.

He usually habitually opens the window after getting up, allowing the fresh morning air to enter the room through the window.

"Master Mu! Get up and have breakfast." Xie Junfen got up early and made breakfast in the kitchen as usual, waiting for the master and young master at home to get up for dinner.

"Wow, did you eat so much delicious food today?" Jiang Mu came to the kitchen and said in surprise. Just as he was immersed in his mother's creative skills in making various delicacies every day, Xie Junfen hit him with a spatula.

Upright.

"Have you washed up? Do you dare to reach out?" Xie Junfen frowned and asked.

"You use the word "dare" very well!" Jiang Mu pushed away the spatula that was still slightly warm with his index finger, and hurriedly washed up.

At the dinner table, Jiang Guoping ate the egg pancakes made by his wife while sipping milk, praising from time to time: "Well, good, delicious!"

"I only know how to eat, but I don't know how to get up early and go to the canteen downstairs to buy me some snacks and drinks!" Xie Junfen complained.

"Huh? Mom, who wants to come over?"

"Your grandma has her birthday at the end of this month, and my second aunt's family will come back early to celebrate her," Xie Junfen explained.

"Oh! That's right, it's just summer vacation!" Hearing this, Jiang Mu remembered that in previous years, his second aunt and uncle's family would bring the children back to play during the summer vacation.

But this time Jiang Mu has a full schedule during the summer, but he just doesn’t know how long he can play with his two children?

"Oh, Mom! What did your office say about the renting of your unit's warehouse that I told you last time?" Jiang Mu suddenly remembered an important matter and asked.

Xie Junfen said: "Oh, I asked our director, and he said that in principle it's not possible! Because he can't make the decision on the price you want.

But we are a self-financing enterprise, but considering that there are too many transfers and lease cancellations of shops now, it is not an option for some places to remain vacant like this.

So he asked us to go to the leaders of the Housing Authority to see if we can implement it."

When Jiang Mu heard this, he smiled lightly. He knew: It's not possible in principle, but it means it's OK! It's OK in principle, but it means it's not possible!

"I need to ask the leader of the housing authority... isn't the leader of the leasing office my father?" Jiang Mu glanced at Jiang Guoping, who was drinking milk.

Jiang Guoping looked at his wife and son who were staring at him. He immediately put down his breakfast, wiped his mouth, adjusted his glasses with greasy fingers, then coughed twice and said, "This matter is not my business!"

"Pah!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xie Junfen slamming his chopsticks on the table: "I'm just saying it's useless to find your dad, right? He's just a decoration in his workplace..."

"Dad! I don't know about other things, but now your son needs a place for a warehouse to start his own business. You have to support him no matter what happens! How about you recommend me a person in charge, and I'll go and talk to you.

Let him talk." Jiang Mu insisted.

"What kind of business do you want to start? What about the exam you took? Have your scores come out? How did you do in the exam?"

Compared with Jiang Mu who is tinkering around to start a business, Jiang Guoping, a father, would like to see Jiang Mu evaluate and check scores in a down-to-earth manner and fill in the application form.

In his more orthodox thinking, this is what a prospective college student who is about to enter college should do.

"This...you are repeating the same old tune..." Faced with his father's domineering questions three times in a row, Jiang Mu said helplessly, "Why do you bring this matter up again?"

"Son!" Jiang Guoping put down the cup and said earnestly: "Dad rarely cares about you in terms of studies. I also know that you are smart and talented, but at this important turning point in your life, we have to work hard.

no?"

"Well, yes." Jiang Mu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. In his memory, there were very few times when his father spoke so earnestly and sincerely as he did today.

"Your mother and I usually have to work and can't take care of your studies! Under such circumstances, you can still keep your test scores every time. We are also very happy..."

"Dad! What do you want to say?" Jiang Mu said.

"Huh??" Jiang Guoping paused and continued: "I heard you said last time that you wanted to apply for Nanjing University in the provincial capital?"

"Yes!"

"Well! If you pass the exam, take it seriously and get a diploma. If you want to go outside after graduation, I will find a way to ask your uncle to find a job for you."

Jiang Guoping looked at his son: "Don't always act like this and not do serious things!"

"How can I not do anything serious..."

"Don't interrupt! Now that you are so old, you have to accept some things that adults say! Your first priority now is to go to college well. Don't always think about opening a store and doing other things."

"Dad! Haven't school started yet? Besides, you can make a lot of money by opening an online store business now!" Jiang Mu was dissatisfied and retorted.

"Yes! I agree with this." Xie Junfen, who was eating breakfast, nodded in agreement.

Jiang Guoping sighed: "Alas! A loving mother often loses her sons."

Xie Junfen couldn't help but said: "Actually, my son has done nothing! Why is he not doing his job properly?

Besides, the business of the store is basically managed by Fengjiao and her daughter. Don’t many children from many families go into work early to work during the winter and summer vacations? Why can’t our son do the same?

It’s not like I won’t go to college. I also said that I will go to college in the future! What should I say with your old-fashioned thinking?”

Xie Junfen and Jiang Mu looked at each other and shook their heads speechlessly.

After being scolded by Xie Junfen, Jiang Guoping said: "I am also giving lessons to my son. To sound the alarm, why are you competing with me? Really!"

"Well, as for the leasing matter, I will ask it for you!" Jiang Guoping suddenly said at this time.

"Really? Oh yeah!" Jiang Mu was a little incredulous and immediately jumped up from his stool with joy.

"Although my jurisdiction is not yours, Director Liu and I have been colleagues for more than ten years. Is it impossible that you won't sell it to me?" Jiang Guoping said thoughtfully.

"Are you enlightened?" Xie Junfen looked at her husband and said, "You just said who of you cares about this?"

"The director of our leasing office, Liu Qian!"

"Dad, Mom, does this not violate discipline?"

Jiang Guoping waved his hand and said: "Hey, where are you?

Damn, don’t think too much about this, it’s not like we don’t pay rent! Just listen to what I just said and do your part!

Since you have said that you are going to study in a provincial capital, face it with the best attitude! Don’t be cynical all day long like you should be a loser."

"Yes sir!" Jiang Mu said with his hand in front of his forehead.

"You kid, haha, you just need to be beaten. If you don't beat, you won't be effective!"

Jiang Guoping also heard from Xie Junfen that his son's online store was doing well, so he smiled lightly and said, "But as far as this matter is concerned, I think our son is quite courageous."

So she encouraged Jiang Mu: "Yes! This is how things should be done. It's not what's popular these days. Don't give up and don't give up..."

"Pfft! Haha..." Jiang Mu almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He put his arm around his mother's shoulders and said, "My lovely mother, that means never abandoning or giving up!"

"Uh? Did I just talk a little bit?" Xie Junfen was stunned.

"Mom, are you about to enter old age?" Jiang Mu teased.

"Pah!" Xie Junfen slapped Jiang Mu on the back of the head, "How dare you call your mother old!"

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."

Jiang Mu realized that his mother seemed to be particularly concerned about this aspect recently, maybe because her hair was really gray and there were more wrinkles on her face.

Xie Junfen has loved beauty all her life, but in the end she still cannot compete with the growth rings of time.

Alas, time is not forgiving!

So as the saying goes, you must succeed faster than your parents grow old!
