The Good Dad System (Arc 8) Chapter 60.6: After the Daughter Married Into a Wealthy Family (6)
“Hello, Dad.” It was morning in China, but according to Pei Daijun’s biological clock, she had already gotten up and eaten. As soon as she answered the phone, a smile appeared on her face. “Why are you calling me suddenly?” They just talked on the phone yesterday, and usually they would call each other every two days.
Pei Naochun pretended to look around casually: “Where’s Junhao? If I remember correctly, isn’t today the weekend? Tiansheng is so busy, why isn’t he at home?”
“He’s on a business trip to City C. Tiansheng is going to build a branch factory there soon, and he has to attend the completion ceremony.” As soon as she got on the phone with her father, she couldn’t help but talk about it. “Tiansheng has too many things to do now, and they are all on him. He has to go on business trips every now and then, and when he comes back, he has to attend video conferences. It’s so hard to rest, but he has to attend social events again. Dad, you know he’s busy.”
“Are you so busy?” He quietly released the bait, wanting to see his daughter’s reaction.
“Yes.” Pei Daijun didn’t understand her father’s implication and counted on her fingers. “Look, it’s only the ninth day of this month. On the first day, they had a regular company meeting, taking turns to attend, and didn’t get home until after nine in the evening. From the second to the third, there was a forum, and he was invited as a guest and had to give a speech. From the fourth to the sixth, for three full days, he went out for inspections. After all, there are many branches now, and he couldn’t not go and take a look. From the seventh to the eighth, he finally came back, but he had to deal with the backlog of things. Although there are many people in the company, many things still require his decision. Today, on the ninth, he flew out again, and he won’t be back until the twelfth. From what he said, he has to give a lecture at the University of City B in the middle of this month!”
She was worried: “I’ve told him several times that health is the capital of revolution. No matter how much development he does, he can’t ruin his body. Even if I want to help take care of his health and make more nourishing soup for him, it’s impossible.” All she can do is take good care of the family and not let him worry too much.
The daughter’s original intention was probably to share her recent troubles with her father, but when Pei Naochun heard the word “lecture”, his heart immediately skipped a beat. In the novel, the story begins with this lecture – it is the university’s anniversary celebration, and successful alumni are invited back to the school to share their success experiences. Sheng Junhao is one of them. He is very experienced, and he is cheerful and cheerful on the stage, quoting from classics. He is also a real big entrepreneur, and when he talks about practical matters, he is very knowledgeable and has no omissions, which draws cheers from his classmates. The novel uses this passage to show the extraordinary style of the male protagonist and lay the groundwork for the following text – Sheng Junhao told the teachers in the school that he is willing to support the school’s cause. If the school has outstanding students, they can be recommended to the company for positions, part-time jobs, internships, and take the green channel. This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Xiaolian was recommended to Tiansheng Group and entered the secretariat.
Of course, at this time, Jiang Xiaolian only had a slight admiration for Sheng Junhao – this admiration did not contain any romantic emotions, it was just a little girl’s yearning for a successful person. However, after deliberate catalysis, this feeling deteriorated.
“Dad, Dad!” Pei Daijun called her father’s name, a little worried, “Are you feeling unwell? Why are you distracted all the time?”
“It’s okay.” Pei Naochun came back to his senses and said jokingly, “You just listed so many dates in one breath, and I don’t want to react. You know I’m stupid and can’t react.”
“How are you stupid!” Pei Daijun breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since the incident with her mother, she has been paying close attention to the health of the elders around her.
“Then what have you been busy with recently since Junhao is not here?” He joked, “After caring about my son-in-law, I have to care about you too, so that you don’t worry.”
When Pei Daijun smiled, she had a cute dimple: “I can see that you don’t care about me. It’s still the same as always, meeting some friends and chatting.” She never complained to her parents. In fact, she didn’t have a smooth start in the social scene. The Sheng family rose suddenly, and their foundation was not very stable before. She had never been exposed to any luxury goods or works of art, and she couldn’t even find topics to talk about at first. So she worked very hard at home, studying a lot of relevant materials without rest, and even went to several galleries and museums. Although she memorized things by rote, she managed to pass and didn’t embarrass herself. Only then did she gradually enter the circle.
She and her father casually said that she was going to meet a friend, but it involved a lot more, including occasionally hearing some news and making good friends in social occasions, tentatively inquiring about Tiansheng’s strength, and some trying to find out the bottom. There were also many potential partners who were eager to try. In the chat records between her and her husband, it was often her husband who was asking and she was answering, or her husband begging her to meet the wife of a company boss.
“Is that all?” Pei Naochun pretended to be relaxed. In fact, with his background in novels, he understood what his daughter meant.
“This is very fulfilling.” Pei Daijun smiled, then sighed worriedly, “My mother-in-law’s eyesight hasn’t been very good recently, and I have to accompany her to the hospital later! At first, she was diagnosed with cataracts, and then the doctor said that there was some lesion in the fundus of the eye, and he was worried that it would cause blindness in the future. I asked a friend to find a specialist, who will come for a consultation today…”
Pei Naochun interrupted his daughter before she finished speaking: “Then Junhao won’t come back?”
“He’s busy. So many people in Tiansheng are depending on him!”
Pei Naochun did not respond immediately, but just looked at his daughter quietly: “Isn’t Dad worried that you are tired alone?” He clearly saw that Pei Daijun was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes were a little hesitant.
“How can I be tired? Every day is relaxing. Dad, just be obedient and go out and have fun.”
“Okay.”
“I won’t talk to you anymore. I have to go out later!” Pei Daijun hung up the phone when she saw that it was almost time. She had to take her mother-in-law out. Her schedule was full almost every day.
Watching the ending scene, Pei Naochun immediately called Xiao Li: “Hello, Xiao Li, yes… well, I plan to go back in the next two days. I will pay for the tour, can you help arrange it…”
