Liu Hui couldn’t contain his excitement upon hearing this, “What do you mean?”

In his view, with Zhang Yi out of the picture, his own son had the greatest hope, although there was still Zhang Xin.

But you can’t discount the fact that the girl has prospects, and once a girl with prospects studies abroad, whether she will return to the country at all is a question.

By then, who else could Zhang Yu rely on besides Liu Jian?

Liu Hui really couldn’t think of anyone else.

Zhang Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Right, if that’s the case, doesn’t it mean our hopes are greater?”

“We shouldn’t go and ask her.” Zhang Hong made up her mind, no matter how much Zhang Guohua and his family jumped around, their family wouldn’t stir.

This couple didn’t even consider whether Zhang Yu would be satisfied with Liu Jian or not, after all, with Zhang Yi out and Zhang Xin pursuing a bright future.

Who else could Zhang Yu count on but Liu Jian?

“Tell Xiao Jian to show more respect to his aunt from now on.” Liu Hui knew that Liu Jian actually looked down on Zhang Yu.

It used to be fine, since they didn’t care about Zhang Yu’s opinion.

But now, Zhang Yi’s downfall was a cautionary tale, they couldn’t afford to make the same mistakes.

Suddenly, Liu Hui remembered something, “I recall Little Yu once had a boyfriend in college?”

Zhang Hong had long forgotten about this, for her, once a woman was married, she should focus on her family.

As for everything else, it wasn’t important, “Seems like it, why do you suddenly bring this up?”

“I’m just wondering if Zhang Yu might marry that person.” Liu Hui was worried that if Zhang Yu got married, they’d be out of the picture.

Right, the man’s words just sparked something in Zhang Hong, “I’m not sure either,”

“But as you know, it’s not something I can ask about.”

Even if she asked, Zhang Yu wouldn’t tell her, “I still remember that because of this, Little Yu had a long conflict with the family.”

“But surely that person couldn’t have remained unmarried all these years.” Zhang Hong felt that Zhang Yu probably wouldn’t still be with that person.

“But what if it’s someone else?” Previously, Liu Hui really didn’t think Zhang Yu was attractive, even considering her older-looking than Chiang Yun.

But her appearance this time around was quite a surprise; she truly looked much younger, and her skin was in much better condition.

“Someone else?” Zhang Hong was almost delirious with joy, “That’s even less likely.”

“Aren’t you aware of Zhang Yu’s standards?

She lives alone now, does whatever she wants, and doesn’t lack income.”

“Why would she agree to become someone’s nanny?”

“Wouldn’t men with good conditions rather go for younger women than her?” Zhang Hong felt that if there really were such a man, he must be out of his mind.

“Don’t worry, her fortune was read before, telling that her career would falter, living alone.”

Zhang Hong knew why Zhang Dagu and his wife looked down on Zhang Yu so much because some master had said her fate was not good.

“Her career would falter?” If living alone was the case, Liu Hui believed this to be very true.

Zhang Hong nodded incessantly, indicating she remembered correctly, “Maybe this time she just had a stroke of dumb luck.”

“It’s just a momentary stroke of luck.” Zhang Hong felt that only by thinking this way could her mood improve.

Was it really just a momentary stroke of luck?

Liu Hui felt there was something off with Zhang Hong’s words.

Forget it, it wasn’t his business to worry about, “By the way, did you check on Xiao Jian’s homework today?”

Liu Hui was aware of Xiao Jian’s talent and had no extravagant hopes that he would be as successful as Zhang Xin, but he mustn’t end up like Zhang Yi either.

Zhang Hong remembered that she hadn’t checked Xiao Jian’s homework yet, “Why don’t you go and check on it?”

“I’ve been busy all day and I am tired.” While he claimed to be tired, in reality, he sprang up from the couch and walked to the desk, turned on the computer, and prepared to play games.

Seeing his adept movements, Zhang Hong really wanted to curse.

Everyone works the same job, they are in the same department, if only they were unaware of Liu Hui’s work intensity.

But what could she do, argue with him?

They were surrounded by colleagues; if someone heard, it would surely become a laughingstock.

Helpless, Zhang Hong could only drag her weary body to help Xiao Jian check how well he did his work for the day.

Xiao Jian heard someone at the door, and quickly hid his gaming device in the drawer.

As soon as Zhang Hong entered the room, she saw Xiao Jian diligently doing his homework and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, “Did you finish your homework today?”

“Almost, just a bit more,” Xiao Jian quickly replied as he worked on his homework, “By the way, mom, after I finish my homework, can I play games for a while?”

Again with games, games, always games—Zhang Hong really despised hearing this word.

In her view, what’s so fun about games?

They’re just a distraction that leads to neglect of one’s duties.

Still saying Zhang Guohua has no prospects, despite working for so many years as just a junior leader, he’s at least better than Liu Hui.

They have both been working at the department for so long, yet they haven’t been promoted.

Those who joined the department with them, even without connections, have been promoted.

Only the two of them, no matter how they turned around the situation, the result is that their positions have never improved.

Zhang Hong always felt if only Liu Hui would commit more to his job, care more about his career, learn more professional knowledge, and truly improve himself, it wouldn’t have come to this.

It’s not like she hadn’t fought with Liu Hui over this, but what was the outcome?

Nothing changed; he simply didn’t listen.

If the arguments got heated, he would retort with how he has always been like this and wouldn’t change.

He would also say that they are all people who failed to pass their exams, that trying harder would be useless regardless.

Zhang Hong also realized that without connections, it’s genuinely challenging to get promoted nowadays.

Moreover, many newcomers to the department have powerful backing, some of them are really influential.

Such people are bound to be promoted; if they can’t get a promotion, then that would be the real issue.

Now that they are in such a sorry state, of course, they hope Xiao Jian will work harder.

Xiao Jian thought that after Zhang Hong stayed for a while, she would leave, but to his surprise, she stood there for so long with no sign of leaving.

What’s going on?

Xiao Jian looked baffled.

Was she planning not to leave?

If she didn’t leave, he wouldn’t be able to continue playing games, and it felt like he hadn’t played enough to be satisfied at all.

No matter how discontent Xiao Jian felt inside, he knew he mustn’t make a sound, or he definitely wouldn’t get anything good out of it.

Zhang Hong, watching Xiao Jian swiftly do his homework, felt a sense of relief.

Although they were not particularly impressive people, as long as they were strict and Xiao Jian also made an effort, he should turn out to be successful.

She was not unaware that Xiao Jian played games on the sly; before, she didn’t mind, believing that a child should play, but in moderation.

But now, Zhang Hong’s perspective had changed.

She felt that Xiao Jian should concentrate on studying, and playing games was something she had to stop.

Although she could watch Xiao Jian study and do homework, she couldn’t always keep an eye on him.

The best solution was to confiscate the gaming console.

With this thought, Zhang Hong immediately took action, “Give me your gaming console.”
