142: Not easy to fool.
From what I can tell, Hanwen's mother genuinely likes and cares about Liu, the goddess.
There was no other way; out of respect for his mother, he could only act as a junior and treat Goddess Liu with utmost respect and courtesy.
Liu, born in 59, is indeed more than ten years older than Han Wen, so calling her "Auntie" wouldn't be unfair to him.
Even if he is a reincarnated person with the mentality of an old monster, his age cannot be changed.
Liu Yifei was born in 87, making her more than ten years younger than Han Wen. It wouldn't be unacceptable for Han Wen to call her "brother".
Besides, his mother's attitude was so firm that Han Wen had no chance to object. Fine, to please his mother, he could only accept this arrangement.
So, in the blink of an eye, he not only had an aunt but also a younger sister, which felt very strange.
"Goddess, from now on, I'm entrusting Good Cabbage Culture Management to you." Han Qingyan said happily, "You can do it boldly and confidently. I'll take care of everything, so don't worry."
"Understood, Sister Han. I will work hard and make sure I don't let you and Han Wen down." Goddess Liu nodded.
"Wenwen, have you prepared the house you promised your mother?" Han Qingyan said to her son. "Take your Aunt Liu to see the house now and arrange a place for her to stay."
Then show her around the company and introduce her to the company's employees.
Then, call Feifei and Yaoyao and tell them about this.
Tell them that if they have no objections, they should follow my arrangements. If they have objections, they should come and talk to me in person.
From now on, the goddess will be the helmsman of Good Cabbage Culture Brokerage. Everyone must obey her orders.
Whether it's Feifei, Yaoyao, or any newcomers who sign later, no one is exempt.
"I understand, Mom. I know what I'm doing and I'll arrange everything properly." Han Wen nodded.
"Then you and your Aunt Liu should go and come back early. I'll have Xingzi and Xiaomeizi cook breakfast early to welcome your Aunt Liu back." Han Qingyan instructed, "Be careful on the road, okay?"
"Okay, Mom." Han Wen nodded and looked at Liu, the goddess: "Aunt Liu, if you're not too tired, come with me now."
"Auntie isn't tired, thank you for your trouble, Hanwen." Goddess Liu nodded, elegant and noble.
Han Wen mentally complained about his mother before leading Liu Nvshen toward his little yellow bug.
After Liu, the goddess, got into the car and sat down, she asked with some curiosity, "Hanwen, is this your car?"
"Yes, Aunt Liu," Han Wen nodded. He started the car and drove off.
"Sister Han promised me that after I officially sign the contract and start working, she will provide me with an apartment, a courtyard house, and a car, with a total price of no less than 200,000 yuan."
"We'll talk about salary, shares, bonuses and stuff later." After thinking for a moment, Goddess Liu said, "You are her only son. Although you are adopted, you have raised him for so many years, there must be some bond between you."
So why doesn't she get you a better car?
"Aunt Liu, don't worry, my mom will never go back on her promise to you."
"Even if the company isn't making any money, let alone with its current good performance, my mom would still sell everything she owns to keep her promise." Han Wen laughed, making up a story: "As for me, it's because I'm a disappointment."
You're right, I'm my mom's only son. So, I was spoiled rotten from a young age. Now I'm a spoiled brat, used to spending money extravagantly.
No matter how much money she gives me, it's never enough; no matter how good the things she gives me, I can sell them as secondhand goods.
So, he was forced into this situation, which is why he was so harsh on me.
"Hanwen, Auntie thinks you're lying." Goddess Liu didn't believe it.
"Aunt Liu, what good would it do me to lie to you?" Han Wen said, annoyed. "If I dared to lie to you, my mom would skin me alive. So, I can't."
"You're Sister Han's only son, how could she bear to punish you?" Goddess Liu still didn't believe it.
This woman is too shrewd; she's not easy to fool. Han Wen was speechless and focused on driving.
Because Han Qingyan had given instructions in advance, Han Wen had already prepared the courtyard house.
He drove his car, with Liu Shennu in tow, and soon arrived at the outside of a courtyard house.
He stopped the car, got out, drove off, and waited for Goddess Liu to get out before opening the gate.
This wasn't Liu's first time visiting Beijing, but it was her first time in Dongcheng District, and the first time she had seen these courtyard houses situated on both sides of the hutongs.
Normally, the courtyard houses in the hutongs are dilapidated, old, dirty, and messy, and are crowded, noisy, and chaotic.
However, the courtyard house that Han Wen brought her to was right next to the alley, and the car could drive directly into the courtyard, which was very convenient.
Moreover, the gate was open. The courtyard had been renovated and was spotless.
Whether it's hygiene or the environment, everything is quite different from the courtyard house I remember.
"This courtyard house is over 200 square meters, enough for a large family to live in."
Because my mother had given me advance notice, I arranged for someone to come and repair and clean it well in advance.
This courtyard house is close to the entrance of the alley, so cars can come and go freely. It's also not far from my house, a ten-minute walk. It's very convenient if you want to visit my mom for a chat.
This alley is called Celebrity Alley, because now and in the future, it will be inhabited by celebrities.
The nearby residents are mostly from the same village and have a very harmonious relationship.
I know a veteran here who will arrange for people to be in charge of security.
He can keep all those reporters, movie fans, music fans, and other random people out of the alley without the police station even needing to intervene.
So, Aunt Liu, whether you live here alone or with your daughter, it doesn't matter.
Perhaps because I live here with my assistant and other staff, I don't need to worry about safety.
Come in and take a look, see if this courtyard house suits your taste.
If you are satisfied, that would be great. If not, please let me know and I will have someone revise it.
In short, you can stop when you're satisfied. That way, I can explain it to my mother.
"Han Wen, you seem to be very afraid of Sister Han?" Goddess Liu walked into the courtyard, nodding as she looked around. "Feifei seems to be afraid of me too, because I've been too strict with her."
There was no other way; I had to abandon my ideals and pursuits for the sake of that father and daughter.
Now, I can only place all my ideals and aspirations on Feifei.
"Aunt Liu, you've misunderstood. My feelings for my mother are respect, not fear." Han Wen shook his head, feeling sorry for Liu Yifei: "Auntie, it's really unfair to Feifei that you're so strict with her."
"Hanwen, you're still young, there are many things you don't understand." Goddess Liu shook her head and sighed, "I don't want to treat Feifei like this either, but I have to do it."
Because I want to tell Feifei's dad that girls are no less capable than boys.
She can definitely build a successful career and rise above others.
