Si Yushan continued, ”You might learn a great deal accompanying Mr. Yan, be sure to be humble and polite when you meet him.”

”Uncle, I think I might...” Jiang Chengsi wanted to refuse.

This was clearly a trap.

”What’s wrong? Is there an issue?” Si Yushan smiled at him, ”Or are you saying you doubt yourself?”

”What do you mean, not okay.”

You Yunzhi, who hadn’t been resting well recently due to matters with the You Family, took a long nap. When she heard voices, she got up and went downstairs. ”Chengsi is here, stay for dinner tonight.”

”Thank you, Auntie.”

”What are you guys talking about?” You Yunzhi sat down.

”I’m planning to let Chengsi handle a project.”

”What project?”

”It’s the jewelry exhibition we’ve been collaborating on with Yan’s Jewelry for many years now. It’s mainly about sending him there to sign a contract, get a feel for the atmosphere. He can’t always follow me around; he needs opportunities and a stage to showcase himself.”

Si Yushan’s way of speaking, absolute brilliance.

It sounds as if it’s just going through the motions, a casual couple of sentences.

But Jiang Chengsi can’t chicken out in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law; he can only brace himself and agree.

”By the way, this contract has to be signed in Nanjiang. I’ll talk to your Uncle Yuan and have him go with you. You should pack your luggage when you get home, set off tomorrow morning. You’ll be back in a week at the shortest, half a month at the longest, so it’s not too long.”

”...”

What the heck?

He has to go on a business trip?

**

The news of Jiang Chengsi’s upcoming business trip quickly spread within the small circle.

Because someone was showing off in the group chat in the morning, acting all free-spirited and boasting, yet by evening they said:

[Brothers, I’m going on a business trip.]

Qiqi: [Yo, what’s up? A business trip? Weren’t you on vacation?]

[Don’t bring it up, Uncle is having me go to Nanjiang to sign a contract, I have to leave tomorrow, I’ve got to pack my luggage now.]

Jiang Shiyi: [The older ginger is indeed spicier, doesn’t like you, doesn’t want to see you, so he’s sending you off to the frontier.]

Jiang Xiaowu: [Nanjiang? That’s really far.]

Jiang Yanting: [Who are you signing the contract with?]

Jiang Chengsi sent a crazy emoji: [Yang Wangchuan! Brothers, has anyone encountered him before, what’s he like? Give me some tips please.]

The group chat instantly fell silent...

Qi Zeyan lit a row of candles for him: [Bro, I can only offer you my blessings. Compared to your father-in-law, I suddenly feel like mine is quite adorable.]

...

Jiang Jinsang, while coaxing his son at home, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”What’s the matter? Laughing like that all of a sudden?” Tang Wan rarely saw him lose composure, naturally being curious.

”Fourth brother is going on a business trip.”

”Where to? When is he leaving.”

”Nanjiang, he’s leaving tomorrow.”

”So sudden?” Generally, business trips are notified in advance, but such a last-minute notice like Jiang Chengsi’s is really rare.

”When working under his father-in-law, there’s no escape.”

Si Yushan is too clever. He surely doesn’t feel comfortable about what happened last night, yet he can’t deliberately target Jiang Chengsi; that would be too obvious, which might damage his and Si Qingxiao’s father-daughter relationship. So, he uses work to send him off to the frontier.

And it’s into the hands of a tough figure.

He’s sure Si Yushan will privately inform the Yan Family to take care of Fourth Brother.

Using work as an excuse, even Si Qingxiao can’t intervene. Jiang Chengsi can’t chicken out in front of his father-in-law, nor can he refuse, he can only accept it.

Encountering such a formidable father-in-law, there’s really no way out.

Si Yushan is the kind to strike precisely at the crucial point.

You punk, every time you take my daughter out, you don’t bring her back. I’ll directly send you out of Beijing and see what you can do.

Little brat, really think I can’t handle you?

Si Yushan is currently at home studying what other suitable projects there might be for him recently.

Preferably abroad...

Jiang Chengsi really had no options. What else could he do but accept his fate?

After a brief night of bliss, he immediately got doused with cold water. Can it get any worse?

While packing his things at home, he happened to run into his brother coming out of the lab.

”Bro.” His voice sounded listless.

”I invited you to go hiking with me, and you declined?”
