Liu Jie turned around and complained to her colleagues in the office, saying, “The newcomer, Xiao Ji, is too arrogant. I introduced someone with a car and a house, but she wasn’t interested. An outsider who may not even have local residency, and she’s so picky!”
Sun Mengru, who was in the same office, overheard and sneered, “Liu Jie, are you introducing her to a divorced man in his forties with a beer belly and a child?”
Liu Jie and Sun Mengru had a feud that started over a year ago. At that time, Sun Mengru was only twenty-seven, a beautiful and capable young woman. However, because she was considered a bit old by Liu Jie, she was devalued in Liu Jie’s eyes. Liu Jie insisted on introducing her to a divorced man in his forties, just as Sun Mengru described: beer belly, balding, and even with a child.
Sun Mengru immediately rejected the idea.
This grudge between them was established.
Liu Jie defended herself, saying, “Do I lack vision? Xiao Ji is so young, just graduated, full of vitality. The person I introduced her to is not even thirty yet! And he has good qualifications!”
Sun Mengru sneered, “Introducing a recent graduate to someone almost thirty, you really have a keen eye.”
Their colleagues tried to mediate the situation. Just then, Ji Anning, who had just been sent out to collect some documents, returned holding a stack of printed files. The two women immediately fell silent.

Ji Anning: “ā¦”
Leaving the campus, one would encounter all sorts of bizarre and peculiar people in society.
Ji Anning and several colleagues took the elevator down together. In the elevator, she answered a call from Wen Yu, “Wife, it’s a bit congested. Wait for me for a few minutes.”
After leaving the office building, she stopped at the entrance and bid farewell to her colleagues.
“Aren’t you leaving?” a colleague asked.
“My husband said there’s traffic, asked me to wait for a while,” Ji Anning replied.
Her colleagues said their goodbyes, and each went their own way.
Liu Jie’s eyes turned, and she pulled another female colleague, saying, “Come, I’ll treat you to yogurt.”
They went to a roadside vendor, bought two bottles of yogurt, stood there, and didn’t leave.
This colleague had a good relationship with Liu Jie and sensed something was amiss, asking, “What’s going on?”
Liu Jie pursed her lips and said, “Ji Anning, I kindly introduced my husband’s cousin, who has a car and a house, but she wasn’t interested. Let’s see what kind of boyfriend she’s found for herself.”
The colleague said, “She’s so beautiful; she must have high standards.”
Liu Jie said, “No matter how beautiful she is, she’s still an outsider.” There was a strong sense of superiority among the local residents of the provincial capital.
In Liu Jie’s matchmaking perspective, beautiful girls like Ji Anning should, if smart, find a local with a house and household registration in the provincial capital. However, it couldn’t be ruled out that some naive girls might foolishly choose to endure hardships and struggles with a poor boyfriend who lacks both a house and household registration but offers love.
Liu Jie felt that Ji Anning might be the latter type.
She thought that if she saw a poor male student getting off the bus later, she would have to find a chance to enlighten this naive girl.
While contemplating this, she suddenly elbowed her colleague, “Quick, look, wow!”
Liu Jie turned her head to see a black sports car parked a few meters away from the bus stop.
Although she didn’t know the brand, the lines were too stylish, clearly indicating it was a luxury car. Some even took out their phones to discreetly take pictures.
However, Liu Jie glanced at it for only a moment and lost interest, turning her head away. Being senior in experience and older than her colleagues, her mind was filled with everyday matters like groceries, household chores, and the like. For these things significantly detached from her own reality, such as fancy cars, she wasn’t particularly interested.
After all, she wasn’t a young girl, constantly daydreaming about this and that.
Her attention was still on Ji Anning. Seeing Ji Anning standing on the steps in front of the office building, suddenly revealing a radiant smile and briskly walking down, Liu Jie’s gaze followed.
She then shifted her gaze, and indeed, a bus had pulled into the station. The door opened, and among the people getting off, several young individuals in their twenties were visible. Which one was Ji Anning’s boyfriend?
A colleague excitedly nudged Liu Jie with her elbow, “Quick, look, look, look!”
The black sports car’s door lifted, and a tall, long-legged young man got out, immediately attracting a crowd’s attention.
Impeccably dressed in a well-fitted suit, crisp white shirt, and a stylish black short coat, he exuded an aura that naturally expanded around him as he stepped out of the car.
This man seemed to be using every cell in his body to tell others, “I’m different from you.”
“Is he a movie star? Why don’t I recognize him?” The colleague was dumbfounded. Although she had naturally begun fantasizing about an attractive man inside the car upon seeing it, she didn’t expect that when the door opened, reality far exceeded her imagination.
Even Liu Jie, a middle-aged woman immersed in the mundane aspects of life, had her gaze firmly fixed and forgot to check on Ji Anning, who she was originally watching.
The handsome young man she was staring at walked around to the other side of the car.
Shortly after, the temporarily forgotten Ji Anning rushed into his arms. He caught her in a firm embrace, and both of them displayed affectionate smiles that could melt hearts.
The young man even lowered his head to give Ji Anning a peck before releasing her. He skillfully lifted the door, carefully shielding Ji Anning as she got into the car, and then closed the door.
Until the black sports car roared away, Liu Jie still stood there with her mouth agapeā¦
It felt like a dream.
How could such a man, with such a car, living such a lifeā¦ appear in the midst of a reality filled with the smell of cooking oil?
“How was it?” Wen Yu asked, “Are you adapting well?”
Ji Anning replied, “It’s okay. I’ve learned a lot. There’s a significant difference between actual work and what’s taught in textbooks.”
Wen Yu said, “That’s for sure. University teaches you the basics. The real deal is something you have to explore gradually.”
“But the most impressive thing is not the job itself,” Ji Anning said. “The office is really complicated, with people divided into several factions.”
As the wife of Wen Yu, Ji Anning does not want to live a luxurious life at home. She is worried that in this carefree and purposeless family life, she will lose herself.
She suggests going out to do something, and both her father-in-law and husband agree. Wen Yu wants to arrange her to work at the group headquarters, giving her a leisurely position that is respectable, not tiring, and most importantly, fulfills her desire to do something outside the home.
Her father-in-law is even more exaggerated, telling her that if she’s interested in anything, they can start a company for her to play with, even if it loses money.
It sounds very attractive to her. Fortunately, Ji Anning has enough self-discipline to know her strengths and weaknesses. She proposes going to the grassroots for training and learning.
If she wants to aim high, they can give her titles like the honorary chairman of the group’s charity foundation or give her money to be an investor in her favorite field. If she wants to stay grounded, they also provide opportunities for her to work at the grassroots level, rotating through various companies and departments to gain experience and learning. Later, she can truly enter the company and engage in practical work.
In short, it’s up to her.
“Office politics is like this. The grassroots are simple, but there may be some minor obstacles. The higher you go, the more scheming there is. What about it? Are you afraid?” Wen Yu asks.
Ji Anning smiles and says, “Not really. Because the interests are not related, I am completely an observer, looking at it quite interestingly and figuring out something. It’s the new graduates who joined this year that I find difficult. They want to work hard, but they also have to deal with these things.”
“Many old-timers in the company tend to form cliques,” Wen Yu said. “When my dad handed over the company to me, he specifically told me to take charge and get rid of some of the old folks who were relying too much on their seniority. By cleaning them out, things have quieted down below. They were the root cause.”
He then asked Ji Anning, “When are you coming to the headquarters?”
However, Ji Anning still wanted to learn more.
Wen Yu, feeling frustrated, complained, “I’ve prepared an office for you, on the same floor as mine, so we can easily meet every day. When are you going to come over?”
He added, “There’s also a children’s room in your office suite. We can bring Junjun to the company together.”
Imagine working during the day with your wife and daughter by your side ā how beautiful!
Ji Anning raised an eyebrow, “Dad allows you to bring Junjun to the company?”
Wen Yu hesitated, “Wellā¦”
Probably a no, right?
The two soon arrived home, greeted by a smiling old aunt opening the door, “Welcome back!”
Wen Yu asked, “Where’s my dad?”
The old aunt replied, “Where else could he be? In the game room.”
Wen Yu and Ji Anning went to their room to change clothes first, then hand in hand, they headed to the game room.
The door was slightly ajar, and as they approached, they heard Wen Guoan’s voice, as if he were sitting on the toilet, giving encouragement, “Come on! Junjun, you’re amazing! One more! We’re almost there!”
Wen Yu and Ji Anning exchanged glances and quietly pushed the door open to take a look. Wen Guoan was bent over, with both palms pushing against Junjun’s little feet, helping her crawl forward with all her might.
Junjun was seven or eight months old and had started crawling. However, if there was no support behind her, she would crawl backward when she exerted force. So, Wen Guoan was behind her, providing support.
“Go for it! You can do it!”
“Just a little more!”
“Junjun, you’re amazing!”
The floor was cleared, and half a meter away, there was a colorful toy that made sounds. That sound attracted Junjun, enticing her to crawl forward with determination.
Wen Yu and Ji Anning watched as Junjun, encouraged continuously by Wen Guoan, bravely crawled forwardā¦ about twenty centimeters.
There was a trail of drool.
Wen Guoan thought his granddaughter was amazing!
The nanny was instructed not to disturb the beautiful bonding time between the grandparents and the granddaughter, so she sat cross-legged nearby, silently observing.
Wen Yu/Ji Anning: “ā¦” The scene was too beautiful.
Wen Guoan’s backside was raised high, and concerned about his old waist, Wen Yu walked in and said, “Dad, it’s time for dinner.”
With that call, Junjun’s attention shifted. The little girl turned her head, saw her mom and dad, her eyes instantly lit up, and she started babbling, wanting to be held.
Wen Yu walked over, bent down, scooped up Junjun, patted her twice, handed her to Ji Anning, and quickly went to help Wen Guoan ā the old man was still stuck on the floor.
Wen Guoan and Junjun had been working hard for quite a while, and they were just a short distance away from victory, but Wen Yu’s interruption spoiled their efforts.
Wen Guoan was not pleased, very displeased indeed. However, Ji Anning smiled gently and called out to him, “Dad, it’s time for dinner.”
He couldn’t vent his frustration on his daughter-in-law, so he could only grumble and scowl, finding everything about Wen Yu displeasing.
In bed that night, Wen Yu stared at the ceiling, his eyes glazed.
Ji Anning poked him curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Wen Yu fell into sadness, “I’ve fallen out of favor.”
Ji Anning: “ā¦”
Wen Yu mournfully said, “My dad’s favorite person isn’t me anymore!”
Ji Anning laughed and slapped him, “Competing for favor with your own daughter, how shameless!”
Wen Yu grumbled and turned over, hugging Ji Anning, “I don’t care, anyway, you’re the only one who can comfort me now.”
Acting like a spoiled dog.
Ji Anning, helpless, asked, “How should I comfort you?”
Wen Yu said, “Just wear that newā¦”
Ji Anning closed her eyes: “That one won’t do!”
The others might be acceptable, but that one is just too embarrassing!
Wen Yu bit her ear and said, “Wear itā¦ that furry tailā¦ reallyā¦”
“Look at how pitiful I am in this family,” he whispered into Ji Anning’s ears, “Grandpa loves his granddaughter, daughter loves her mother, and I love my wife, dad, and daughter. Look, look, I’m the only one without anyone’s loveā¦”
He spoke while tracing circles with his fingertips on her sensitive areas.
Although he had become a father, Xiao Wen’s seductive skills had not diminished, and in fact, they had become even more refined.
Ji Anning lay on the bed, completely surrendered to his actions. Whether she was being coaxed into wearing something was unclear.
The furry tail was not just a decoration; each brush stimulated intensely.
“Darling,” Wen Yu nibbled on Ji Anning and said, “After giving birth, you’ve become so much moreā¦ bigger.”
Ji Anning adopted a shameful posture, savoring the ultimate pleasure, only able to offer him fragmented moans.
Sansukini: That’s hot. And it’s funny because I’ve never seen a cnovel where a son was jealous of his daughter because grandpa was more affectionate (to the grandchild). It’s usually, the husband is jealous because the wife gave more affection to the children than to him.
