As Zhu Bufan was thinking about it, Du Yujiao immediately spoke up, "Zhu Bufan, if anyone bullies you, feel free to beat them to death. Even if it leads to manslaughter, mom can take care of it for you! Let others suffer the loss, not us!"

At that moment, Zhu Bufan genuinely wanted to laugh. Du Yujiao's true nature was undoubtedly revealed. She was an extremely vicious woman, but at the same time, a very loving one.

Zhan Feilong hadn't appeared for several days, who knows what he was up to. However, Zhu Bufan had a bad feeling. This guy definitely wouldn't just let things go; he was likely out there gathering people again.

Zhu Bufan saw Du Yujiao coming over to show her motherly affection by hugging him, so he quickly picked some food with his chopsticks for Du Yujiao and said, "Mom, you should eat. If you're feeling unwell, you should rest more."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll sit for a bit and then go to sleep," Du Yujiao nodded satisfied, finally stopping the astonishing action (hugging), and started to eat. The reason behind her seemingly arbitrary action was mainly due to her own limited perspective.

Both Zhan Feiyu and Zhan Feihuang were girls. Feiyu was naturally frail and sickly, while Feihuang was a bit slow. Given these circumstances, Du Yujiao's care for them became unlimited. Even when these girls faced bullying at school, she was the one who showed up to defend them.

She had a profoundly strong protective instinct towards her children. Now, she had taken a liking to Zhu Bufan as her son-in-law. She was very fond of Zhu Bufan and even promoted him to the status of a son. Her letting Zhan Feihuang call Zhu Bufan "Brother" was a direct manifestation of this. Feihuang, who was slow, didn't understand the distinction, but Du Yujia and Zhan Feiyu saw it clearly.

Fortunately, although she was a bit biased towards Zhu Bufan, she was not completely senile and knew to let her daughters hold significant power. If she had let Zhu Bufan control the funds as well, Zhan Feiyu would have definitely jumped out in opposition.

Zhan Feihuang patted Zhu Bufan on the shoulder and said carelessly, "Brother, mom gave you 1.5 million, see if you can spare some pocket money for your little sister…"

"I'll give you 500,000 later," Zhu Bufan blurted out a generous figure without even thinking.

"Wow, that's awesome, Brother, I love you to death!" After saying that, Zhan Feihuang passionately kissed Zhu Bufan on the face.

Du Yujiao glared at her fiercely. The girl then realized something was wrong and immediately started wolfing down her food. The moment she kissed him, she realized that everyone at the table was giving her murderous looks. She might get beaten up again.

No one exploded in anger, but Du Yujiao still spoke to Zhu Bufan, "Zhu Bufan, don't give her that much, at most give her 5,000. If she needs more, let her ask me."

"Mom, you're being unfair, Brother already agreed to give me 500,000, you…"

Du Yujiao suddenly changed her expression and scolded sharply, "You silly girl, what do you know! What do you need that much money for? To donate it? Even with that 500,000, it'd be enough for you to donate for more than a month, right?"

"But Aunt Zhao's kids are really pitiful, I just thought…"

"Shut up!" Du Yujiao angrily said, "The kids in the orphanage are well taken care of, you don't need to worry about them. Wait until you can earn money yourself to donate, and stop thinking about using other people's money for these silly acts!"

At this point, Zhu Bufan finally had an epiphany. It made sense why Feihuang couldn't save money; if she could, that would be strange. No wonder Zhan Feiyu took control of her money. If she had let her donate it all, there would be nothing left by now.

Zhan Feihuang was extremely aggrieved, not even touching her food, lying on the table sobbing. Du Yujiao signaled everyone to continue eating without paying attention to her, but since Zhan Feihuang was sitting right next to Zhu Bufan, it seemed necessary to say something.

Zhu Bufan leaned close to Zhan Feihuang's ear and whispered to her.

Zhan Feihuang was overjoyed! Immediately, she wiped away her tears and smiled, "Bro, you promised to give me 5..."

Zhu Bufan quickly covered her mouth with his hand and blinked, "I didn't say anything, just eat your food."

"You clearly told me just now you would give me a bonus of 5000 yuan every month, now why are you saying you didn't say anything? Were you just lying to me, I..."

"Ha ha ha ha..." Everyone at the table couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Zhu Bufan's face flushed red, and he reprimanded angrily, "Didn't I just tell you to keep it a secret? Can't your brain be a bit more flexible?!"

"Got it, got it, it's our secret, and nobody else should know." Zhan Feihuang suddenly realized, and turning to the people at the table, she said, "Mom, sis, second aunt, my brother didn't say he'd give me money, he said he'd buy me a gold bracelet. I was just trying to make you guys happy, I don't want his money."

People at the table nodded repeatedly, but while nodding, they couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads. Who says this girl is silly? This is going to cost Zhu Bufan not just the 5000 yuan pocket money every month, but also a gold bracelet.

Zhu Bufan himself had no objections, who would want to bother too much?

...

Zhu Bufan upgraded his relationship with Du Yujiao through clandestine bribes, thus greatly enhancing their familial intimacy.

Previously, Du Yujia's proposal to make Zhao Juan the Deputy Director of HR was stalled by Zhan Feilong. But the next day, on Du Yujiao's instruction, Du Yujia went ahead and appointed Zhao Juan to the position, nothing Zhan Feilong could do even if he was there since Du Yujiao was determined to make it happen.

Although Zhu Bufan is the president, he isn't well-versed with company affairs; since different people excel in different fields, Zhu Bufan specializes in medicine and martial arts, not much in business management. However, that wasn't a problem, he had a capable spouse.

No, not Du Yujia, as she had already been kicked out by Zhan Feiyu. Now sitting beside Zhu Bufan's desk was Zhan Feiyu. Du Yujiao had specifically instructed Zhan Feiyu to keep a close watch on Zhu Bufan, not letting Du Yujia take him away, or else she'd be left crying over spilt milk.

Zhan Feiyu stared at a document for a long time, picked up a pen ready to sign but then seemed to remember something, she looked up at Zhu Bufan and said, "Honey, our company has just started construction in the new city area and needs some designers. The people Yujia recommended are generally quite expensive. I was thinking of bringing in some professional talents from our university to help out—what do you think?"

"Make sure they are professional talents, we don't want unprofessional people causing problems with the construction," even though Zhu Bufan wasn't knowledgeable about architectural design, he understood that cheap can be costly.

"Let me tell you this," Zhan Feiyu pointed at the list and said, "People like Wang Cai, Guo Ting, and Zhao Yunkun listed here are all graduates from the Architecture Department of Ark Science and Technology University, and I know a few lecturers there who also help out with design work in their spare time. Absolutely no problem."

These are definitely professional talents.
