I GET A RANDOM NEW OCCUPATION EVERY WEEK

Chapter 2254: Chapter 2255: Falling Short in Flattery

“I know him, so you two better stop eyeing Liang Ruoxu, that kid is pretty formidable.”

“Ah? How is he formidable?”

The words of Mao Shuchun made the two of them very curious, not understanding why he would say such a thing.

“Didn’t Old Liang tell you about his son-in-law’s identity?”

“He didn’t go into detail with me, just mentioned that he opened a company in Zhong Hai.”

“If you put it that way, it’s not exactly lying, but the company is no small venture. You’ve heard of Lingyun Group in Zhong Hai, right? They’re even listed with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.”

“Lingyun Group…”

Hearing the name Lingyun Group, the uncle and nephew were both taken by surprise.

Although they weren’t from the same circles, they would often browse the Internet and had some understanding of this company.

After all, it was the enterprise that came up with the lithography machine and had a big reputation in China.

If the creation of Lingyun Group was his doing, then the gap between them wasn’t that big anymore.

“That’s really quite impressive,” Li Dongren said.

“That’s nothing,” Mao Shuchun went on,

“His son-in-law is also a Group Leader in the Central Guards Brigade and has several first-class merits to his name. If he wasn’t so young, he’d easily be promoted to colonel by now.”

The sound of these words was like a thunderclap on a clear day, exploding right next to their ears.

The fact that he founded Lingyun Group was already shocking enough.

But to learn that he was also a Group Leader in the Central Guards Brigade, such a status made it impossible for them to remain calm.

They both knew very well what kind of place the Central Guards Brigade was.

And his being at a Group Leader level was even more astonishing.

“He’s… he’s actually that formidable.”

“Indeed, but I haven’t had much contact with him myself, much of what I know is from what the old chief told me,”

Mao Shuchun continued:

“Those guys from the Special Forces Brigade downstairs, he could probably take them all out in less than five minutes. As for how impressive he is, you can imagine for yourselves.”

After chatting for a bit, Mao Shuchun left.

But the uncle and nephew stood there, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

They had initially thought that Lin Yi was just a typical entrepreneur.

They figured Liang Ruoxu chose to be with him maybe because of his looks, that she’d play around and then break up with him and choose someone who was her equal in social status to marry.

But now it seemed that wasn’t the case.

Ji Qing had conquered her with his own impressive abilities.

“You’ve heard what the commander said, let’s drop it,” Li Dongren remarked:

“Pay more attention to other people in the future, it looks like you won’t be able to catch up with her boyfriend.”

Although somewhat unwilling to accept it, Li Haoyu had nothing to say, he truly wasn’t a match for him.

Because the Central Guards Brigade had always been a place he aspired to join but could never reach.

And the other person had become a Group Leader before even turning 30, a person like that, even if he tried, he couldn’t catch up.

…

After leaving the compound, the three of them got in the car and drove to the Huarun Group building.

They didn’t wait long before they saw Shen Shuyi walk out of the building, wearing a black trench coat and high heels. She elegantly got in the car and they went to the restaurant that had been booked in advance.

During this time, Lin Yi noticed that although Lee Yongjin was full of charm,

She couldn’t compare in terms of temperament with his future mother-in-law.

On the way, Lin Yi and Liang Cunxiao talked quite a bit, but mostly about the Guardian Brigade.

Liang Cunxiao had always been interested in the training methods of the Guardian Brigade and wanted to implement improvements in the army.

Although there had been some progress over the years, it wasn’t significant, but he hadn’t given up and continued to work hard in this area.

The mother and daughter didn’t interrupt them, sitting in the back of the car chatting about their own matters.

For dinner, they chose a Sichuan cuisine restaurant.

This was a tradition of the Liang family, to find time for a Sichuan meal every New Year’s Day, symbolizing a prosperous new year.

They arrived at the restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes, and the conversation shifted from work to domestic life.

During the meal, Shen Shuyi and Liang Cunxiao reminisced about many things from the past.

His own father, whom he had never met, seemingly wasn’t much of a decent man either, having involved himself in all sorts of messed-up things.

However, in Liang Cunxiao’s words, Lin Yi could hear something implicit.

Shen Shuyi had told him before when he came to Yanjing.

Being impressive on his own counted for nothing, and it was important to have strong partners around him.

And at the table, Liang Cunxiao conveyed the same sentiment, though not explicitly.

It was clear that it was for personal reasons that he had shared these things with him.

However, regarding his and Liang Ruoxu’s situation, Liang Cunxiao didn’t say much, merely made a brief mention and didn’t bring it up again, as if he wasn’t in any rush.

Lin Yi guessed that it might be because of Liang Ruoxu’s work and status that they weren’t pressuring them to get married.

Not like Ji Qingyan’s parents and his own mother, who kept urging the two to get married quickly.

In the eyes of Shen Shuyi and Liang Cunxiao, they had long liberated themselves from the constraints of traditional views.

Having seen too much dirty business, they took many things lightly and didn’t care for the cumbersome rituals.

As long as the relationship between the two was stable and they could support each other moving forward, that was stronger than anything else.

After the meal, Lin Yi had intended to go back to the hotel, but Liang Cunxiao and Shen Shuyi didn’t let him go.

Their relationship had developed to such a point; there was no need to hide things anymore—it was better to be open and straightforward.

Lin Yi did not refuse this arrangement, but Liang Ruoxu felt somewhat embarrassed.

Although they had already become intimate, and Liang Ruoxu had a fiery personality,

This blatant acknowledgment made her a bit uncomfortable.

After all, it was in front of her parents, and she was somewhat unused to it.

The four of them went back home together. For the Liang family, this place was like a world all its own.

Once inside that door, all titles were left outside, and they became just an ordinary family of three.

Liang Ruoxu and Shen Shuyi went into the kitchen to cut fruit, gentle and capable.

Lin Yi and Liang Cunxiao sat on the couch drinking tea and chatting.

Shortly after, the mother and daughter came to the living room with the sliced fruit, and Shen Shuyi was also holding her phone.

“Your son’s right here, take a look, as if I would neglect your son,”

Shen Shuyi said with a smile, then turned the phone’s camera toward Lin Yi, and Qin Yingyue’s voice came through.

Lin Yi wasn’t surprised, nor was he taken aback.

Because earlier, she had messaged him, asking him to visit for New Year’s Day, that he shouldn’t forget the proper etiquette.

Shen Shuyi and Qin Yingyue chatted for a while and then hung up the video call, and the four started chatting.

“Aunt Shen, we’ve recently developed a Carbon-based Chip and are planning to expand the production line. Does CITIC Group want in?”
