As soon as Zhu Bufan spoke, Zhao Juan immediately burst into tears, covering her face with her jade hand, crying, "Wuuu... Zhu Bufan has grown up, he no longer listens to his mom, have you forgotten how much money I spent on you when you were little!"

Zhu Bufan quickly tried to comfort her, saying, "No, no, mom, please don't cry. Our company is in the real estate business. Look, there are so many houses that haven't been sold yet. I really don't have money right now. How about I give you money once the houses are sold?"

Although Zhao Juan isn't his real mother, her attitude towards him is even closer than a real mother's. Speaking of spending money in his childhood, it was absolutely like running water. Zhu Dayou opened a small clinic, and Zhao Juan would drag Zhu Bufan there every day to scrounge for money.

As soon as any money was found in a drawer, Zhao Juan would immediately take it all, and then she would give one third of the scavenged money to Zhu Bufan to buy snacks. Zhu Dayou had an unusual relationship with Zhao Juan, and he intentionally indulged the two of them without interfering.

Thus, Zhu Bufan's childhood was a very wealthy one, all thanks to Zhao Juan. Now that Zhu Bufan has become successful, he naturally couldn't forget Zhao Juan.

"That's more like it." Zhao Juan nodded and said, "I thought you were developing your business in the city, only to find out you were in this poor place. What kind of future development could this shabby place have!"

Zhu Bufan then briefly introduced the general situation of the company to Zhao Juan, and they walked along the Chunjiang River bank for more than half an hour, where he gave a brief introduction of his properties. Zhao Juan, being uneducated, often asked some odd questions, but Zhu Bufan patiently explained endlessly.

Du Yujia was originally following behind, but Zhu Bufan didn't turn around to speak with her the entire way. Instead, he was hugging and clinging to that "stepmother", which made Du Yujia feel nauseated to the point where she couldn't stand it anymore and decided to leave!

When Zhu Bufan was very young, he lived in the village with an old widow named Granny Yang. Granny Yang had no children or relatives and as she aged, her health worsened and she could no longer take care of Zhu Bufan, but it was actually Zhu Bufan who took care of her every day.

When Zhu Bufan was twelve, the old woman passed away from illness. The villagers pooled together money for Granny Yang's burial, but Zhu Bufan became like a wandering ghost.

Shortly after her marriage, Zhao Juan infuriated her husband to death (mainly because she spent money too fiercely), and was driven out as a bad omen. As a young woman, it wasn't appropriate for her to return to her own home, so she moved into Granny Yang's house, posed as Zhu Bufan's elder sister, and settled down with him.

Eventually, this sister became more like a mom, and later, Zhao Juan and the local eccentric Zhu Dayou hooked up, and they began to live a better life together.

Despite her reputation as a harbinger of doom and looking like a blooming flower, Zhao Juan was feared by all. No man dared to touch her except for Zhu Dayou, an "eccentric" who was not afraid.

Zhao Juan played the roles of both sister and mother, living under the same roof with Zhu Bufan for many years. Although they had no blood relation and stayed together all the time, they referred to each other in various terms. It was quite exaggerated, but their relationship was always good, otherwise Zhu Bufan wouldn't have just handed Zhao Juan one million yuan.

Right now, Zhu Bufan only has just over 1.7 million with him. From this ratio of money distribution, one can see Zhao Juan's position in his heart.

"Xiaoyi, I just had a brief talk with that Zhan Feihuang, is that girl out of her mind?" After wandering by the river for a long time, Zhao Juan finally voiced the question she was most eager to understand.

"No, no." Zhu Bufan shook his head repeatedly and explained, "Fei Huang is a top student from Huadu Science and Technology University, even more knowledgeable than me. How could there possibly be something wrong with her brain?"

"Oh, is that so." Zhao Juan nodded in relief and continued, "I don't want to meddle too much in your affairs. If anyone bullies you, just tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"

Zhu Bufan nodded repeatedly. Although Zhao Juan knew nothing about Martial Arts, she indeed protected Zhu Bufan for several years.

Zhu Bufan was about to head back with Zhao Juan when she laid it out again, "Little Yi, that woman just now was pretty, but I heard from your dad that she's also quite old. You must absolutely not be deceived by her!"

Naturally, she was referring to Du Yujia.

"No, no, Jie Jie and I are good partners; she wouldn't cheat me. You can rest assured."

Zhao Juan was relentless, "You're just too naive, sold off and still helping others count money, I asked on the train, they told me corporate finances are managed by the Finance Department, and personnel by the HR Department. These two departments are most crucial, let me handle them for you."

"Mom, you should not meddle with the company's affairs, just take the money I give you periodically and have fun walking around the city, let me finance your expenses!"

"No way, I must manage. The head of Finance Department, and the director of HR must be managed by me, nobody else can interfere. If you don't listen to me, I... I'll die right here for you to see!"

This woman could make an endless fuss when riled up, Zhu Bufan knew her prowess, so he could only nod in agreement, "Alright then, I'll talk to Jie Jie about it and have you fill that position. However, the company has just started; we urgently need experienced people to manage, mom, since you don't have any management experience, let's start you with a deputy position. How about that?"

"Okay!" Zhao Juan nodded and stopped making a fuss.

She only knew that Finance handled money, and HR handled personnel, not really understanding what these departments specifically do. She was too old to always behave so mischievously, but small antics from time to time could be tolerated.

With such a big company, many affairs needed management, and knowing nothing, her insisting on positions would only be detrimental to the company, causing it to slide downwards, eventually leading to bankruptcy, leaving her with nothing!

Zhao Juan was anxious for a title and money, merely for the sake of pride. As for the real authority in the company, it didn't matter whether or not it was in her hands.

Seeing Zhao Juan calm down, Zhu Bufan eagerly advised her, "Mom, talk to dad when you get back, I am planning to have him temporarily take the position of Security Department Director in the company. Let's leave other matters for later, and ask him definitely not to make public trouble in the company."

"That's settled then, you just relax!" Zhao Juan nodded repeatedly, "In the village, all his fussing with you was the past, now that you are handling serious things here, what's there for him to fuss about? Giving him the position of Security Department Director is already not bad. If it were up to me, I'd make him start as a junior security guard, climbing up step by step from the grassroots!"

Zhu Bufan shook his head and wryly smiled. If Zhu Dayou were to be a junior security guard, he definitely couldn't stay calm. Zhao Juan, you thought of securing a director position for yourself, how come you never thought of starting from the grassroots?
