Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

Summers in City A are exceptionally hot. Zhou Liwan carefully lifted a corner of the curtain, and the dazzling light instantly made her eyes ache.

I really don't understand those people who come to my door in broad daylight, under the scorching sun.

After Academician Jiang's banquet, everyone in the upper class of City A knew that Zhou's daughter had first-rate psychological counseling skills.

People who had heard of Zhou Liwan's reputation and wanted to invite her to provide psychological counseling for their relatives, clients' relatives, friends, and clients' friends almost wore down the threshold of the Zhou family home.

Zhou Jianguo would naturally not miss this excellent opportunity to make connections, and he would always welcome customers with open arms, regardless of the size of the business.

Of course, many of them also wanted to take a roundabout approach and try to get in touch with Academician Jiang's family on their own.

Zhou Liwan knew all this perfectly well. Seeing Zhou Jianguo smiling like a flower, she silently got up to leave.

Zhou Jianguo stopped them with a forced smile and scolded in a low voice, "So many guests came for you, how can you leave without saying goodbye! Behave yourself."

"Since you came here for me, you must have something to ask of me. In that case, I naturally have the right to be capricious." Zhou Liwan didn't give him any face at all, completely ignoring the greasy middle-aged man who was still flattering her.

His sticky gaze made him very uncomfortable, but Zhou Jianguo, that idiot, only cared about saving face and did nothing to stop the intrusion of others' gazes.

Zhou Jianguo said angrily, "Stop right there." Then, afraid that someone would notice something, he quickly put on a smile and continued the previous topic, "Boss Dong, I have contacted you many times before. It is kind of you to grace my humble abode with your presence. I wonder if you could introduce me to Director Ma of the Drug Administration regarding the license issue I mentioned earlier."

A fat, big-eared man looks like he spends his days indulging in lavish meals and debauchery. His excessively droopy eye bags suggest that his private life is probably chaotic as well.

As soon as he sat down, the sofa was almost too big for anyone else. He picked up the tea on the table and panted for a long time: "I believe you, Mr. Zhou, know more about the license than anyone else. I don't need to say anything more hurtful."

indeed.

As soon as the banquet ended yesterday, Zhou Jianguo was notified that the batch of equipment had been confirmed to be substandard and did not meet national safety standards.

He was so angry that he threw a huge tantrum. All the data from the equipment was within the safe range beforehand, so how could it suddenly fail?

Without giving him time to think it over, he kept running around, but was repeatedly turned away.

I didn't even get to see the relevant personnel.

The only person willing to see him immediately said that Academician Jiang had commented after they left that he lacked depth in his character and was not calm enough in his actions.

It had nothing to do with his products, but that didn't stop those self-righteous people from making unfounded and excessive analyses.

Therefore, even if the test results are qualified, a product that is not approved by academicians will naturally not be approved.

Zhou Jianguo went from house to house until the early hours of the morning before finally returning home.

Looking at the still dim sky, he suddenly thought of his daughter who was still sleeping in the Jiang family, as if he had grasped the last hope.

He immediately went to Li Qiang's residence, gave him a good beating, and then took him back to the Zhou family to be dealt with by Zhou Liwan.

Hopefully, Zhou Liwan will be in a good mood and put in a good word for me and Academician Jiang.

Boss Dong, his eyes darting around like slits, glanced at Zhou Jianguo's grave face, then grinned lewdly, "But it's not entirely without a solution..."

Zhou Jianguo was overjoyed and quickly chimed in, "Any other methods?"

Boss Dong rubbed his palms a few times, tentatively suggesting, "How about I have Wanwan come down and have a good chat with her? She's so youthful and vibrant; just looking at her makes me happy. And if she's happy, then helping with introductions won't be difficult at all..."

Zhou Jianguo's face immediately turned frighteningly gloomy. Even if he was incompetent, he would never do such a despicable thing as selling his daughter.

Seeing the undisguised look in the other person's eyes, he finally understood why Zhou Liwan had insisted on leaving.

Zhou Jianguo was so angry that his hands trembled. Coupled with the fact that he hadn't had a good rest, he couldn't think about the consequences anymore and stood up to kick Boss Dong.

Although the weight of the object prevented him from being knocked down, he was still in pain and kept yelling on the sofa: "You Zhou Jianguo, I'm giving you another chance, don't be ungrateful! A small company like yours, without someone to run it, all your money will just go down the drain!"

"Even if I, Zhou Jianguo, throw away that money, I won't let a bastard like you try to take advantage of my daughter. Besides, I run a small company, but my father-in-law is the head of the Jiang family. Do you think I need to be subservient to a bastard like you?"

Mr. Dong looked up in astonishment, incredulous: "The Jiang family? Jiang Hongshan?"

"If you know that, then get out of here right now!" Zhou Jianguo pointed coldly to the front door, showing no politeness whatsoever.

"Pah!" He was still somewhat afraid of the Jiang family, but he wasn't stupid. If Zhou Jianguo really had a close relationship with the Jiang family, then the license wouldn't be a problem at all and could be processed in no time. "You don't need to use your connections to intimidate others. Everyone knows that you have a tense relationship with the Jiang family!"

"Get out of here!" Zhou Jianguo gripped his phone tightly, his face darkening as he looked at him, as if he would smash the phone on the other man's head if he said anything bad.

Knowing that he would only be beaten if a fight broke out, Boss Dong spat mockingly and walked away grumbling.

Zhou Jianguo was left standing there lost in thought.

It seems that everyone in City A knows that he has a bad relationship with the Jiang family. If his relationship with the Jiang family improves, will this crisis also be resolved?

At the entrance of the Zhou family villa, Dong Shun, cursing and swearing, struggled to climb onto his black G-Wagon.

Just as I was about to close the door, it was grabbed by a pair of calloused, slender hands.

Zhou Wenyue smiled amiably: "Don't be angry, Mr. Dong."

Seeing the family's coordinated attack, Boss Dong lost his patience and rudely tried to close the door. Zhou Wenyue quickly said, "Boss Dong, don't be angry. As your aunt, I will definitely bring my niece to apologize to you in person!"

Thinking of the girl's aloofness just now, like a goddess from the heavens, which stirred one's heart, Dong Shun loosened his grip.

Zhou Wenyue pressed on, saying, "My brother spoils his daughter too much. Please forgive him. I'll trouble you to take care of the license."

"Hahaha! You're so perceptive~" Dong Shun greasyly patted Zhou Wenyue's hand, gently kissed it, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Then I'll wait for your call~"

Zhou Wenyue took a deep breath and tried her best to keep smiling: "Please wait for good news, Mr. Dong."

"Okay, hahaha..."

The arrogant laughter gradually faded into the distance.

Zhou Wenyue felt goosebumps all over her body, as if the floodgates had finally been broken, and her whole body felt nauseous and numb.

Such a foul-smelling man is utterly repulsive and infuriating.

Rushing back to the bathroom, Zhou Wenyue disinfected her hands several times before staring at the hotel room key she had sealed in a transparent bag with a snarling grin on her face.

How could such a disgusting thing not be left for his dear niece to enjoy?

In the large mirror opposite, Zhou Wenyue's reflection was shown, a strange, calculating smile on her otherwise composed face.
