Chapter 568: Dean Zhang Takes Action!
Because it concerns Cheng Zhu, and time is pressing, Shen Qingning and Jiang Wanzhou naturally are both very active.
You know, in their generation, there's only the four of them as cousins.
These days, in many families, relatives don't visit each other frequently, resulting in many young people not being particularly familiar with their peers.
But their family is different; they have great feelings for each other.
However, what is happening in this WeChat group is the first time ever.
Cousin: No, am I still dreaming?
Woah! My younger siblings need me! Woah woah!
Beijing, a certain department, a few minutes ago.
Cousin, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, is sitting in his office, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking goji berry water.
It's actually already time to get off work now.
But he's not in a hurry to head home, wanting to stay here for another twenty minutes.
A lot of men do this; some even park the car downstairs and choose to sit inside alone for a while before going upstairs.
They do it just for relaxation, peace, quiet...
Cousin does the same.
— Oh, being a son-in-law isn't easy.
In the eyes of others, he is considered to be infinitely glorious.
Even the department leaders speak to him politely.
Just because he married a good wife, who is also the only daughter of her family.
But the hardships involved, of course, only he knows.
"Not to be told to outsiders."
At this moment, he is holding his phone, reading online novels.
Cousin only reads those brainless super fun novels; the more fun, the better.
A graduate of Peking University, now having a promising career path, yet he loves this type of novel.
His life is too rule-abiding, restricted by regulations, with strict family rules. Reading these super invincible brainless novels lets him feel completely relaxed.
At this moment, the book has just hit a big climax, making Cousin enjoy it a lot, gulping down two big sips of goji berry water, almost getting burned.
"A bit thrilling!" Cousin thought to himself.
Just as he's eager to turn the page, his phone rings three times in a row, popping up three WeChat messages.
"Hmm?" Cousin paused for a moment.
"Who can send three WeChat messages all at once?" he thought to himself.
His reading interest has been half ruined.
At this moment, Cousin doesn't know what awaits him.
With an annoyed look, he opens WeChat, and upon seeing the messages from the family group, all impatience instantly disappears.
He hasn't entered the group chat yet and only sees the last message, which is Shen Qingning @ him.
"So it's Ningning looking for me."
Cousin's negative emotions vanish completely.
Of the three younger cousins, he likes Ningning the most.
No other reason, just because Ningning is polite and considerate enough.
Whenever I rant to them, only Ningning is very patient with me.
But the actual situation is that all three respond with some perfunctory words like "Hmm," "Is that so," "Okay."
However, Ningning is too aloof, usually speaking little, so it doesn't give people the impression that she's being perfunctory.
Shen Minglang and Jiang Wanzhou usually talk too much, but suddenly using fewer words means they're impatient!
Humph! No manners!
Humph! No respect for elders!
So, Cousin smiles and enters the group chat, then sees Shen Minglang and Jiang Wanzhou's earlier messages.
In an instant, his eyes beneath his silver semi-rim glasses suddenly widen a bit.
Even his nostrils slightly expand a little bit, his breathing becomes rapid and heavy at this moment.
He even feels his body start to heat up.
Usually gulping down a half cup of goji berry water wouldn't make him this warm!
—"Thrilling!!!"
Oh wow! This thrills me! Oh wow!
Compared to this, the climax in the online novel earlier is totally lame now, what trashy nonsense was that!
"In my lifetime, I'm actually encountering a collective plea for help from my younger siblings?"
Seated in his chair, Cousin looks up at the ceiling.
At this moment, he seems to have discovered the value of his life.
He picks up the phone and powerfully types out two words on the screen, hoping to provide endless security to the younger ones:
"I'm here."
...
...
Don't fear, don't fear, Cousin is here, okay! Cousin is here!
Don't panic, don't panic, younger ones!
He's no longer sitting in the chair now, but pacing back and forth in the room holding his phone.
It's as if Cousin's pores throughout his body are opening wide.
My life— is elevated!
Until now, the family hardly ever asked him to do any tasks.
Because knowing he is in Beijing, many things can be solved with him around.
Especially because the elders already have substantial businesses and networks, they aren't lacking much.
If they truly need to use his connections, it must be earth-shattering matters.
Moreover, human nature is somewhat complex at times.
These family elders each have their pride.
Though the in-law's identity is different, our family wouldn't ask for favors to avoid being looked down upon.
Furthermore, they only appreciate you when they really encounter a big issue and ask for help.
If they look down on you, small matters are negotiable, but big issues are off the table!
As for someone like Shen Minglang from the same generation, there's even less need to ask Cousin for help.
Normally it's more like— I beg you to shut up!
Therefore, Cousin always feels he has no place to use his abilities!
