Like most parents, they resign themselves or half-give up, but become unstoppable on the competitive parenting track.
Many things they couldnāt achieve when they were young, they now want their children to accomplish.
"Letās find a place to eat first. Iāll take you to visit the production workshop this afternoon, and tomorrow morning Iāll take you for a health check."
Jiang Jiaqi stopped trying to "over-parent" and smiled as she changed the topic.
Actually, what mom said wasnāt wrong.
If both parents pass the health check and can work at Jiangās Food Factory, it would be quite a good job for them.
A salary of 5000, plus 1500 for duty pay, making a monthly wage of 6500.
In addition, they donāt need to spend on accommodation, and each of them receives a 500 yuan meal subsidy per month.
They donāt have to spend a penny of their salary.
Theoretically, as a couple, they can save 13000 yuan a month!
If you add some mid-year and year-end bonuses, saving 160,000-170,000 a year shouldnāt be a problem!
They could earn about 100,000 more than in previous years!
If people in the village found out about this income, wouldnāt others envy them so much their eyes turn red?
Jiang Tao instructed them to keep the salary confidential and not talk freely when back in the village, also considering this aspect.
...
11:55 AM.
A black Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked temporarily at the open-air parking spot to the right of Eddy Kindergartenās main entrance.
Jiang Tao got out of the car, cigarette still unlit in his hand, and spotted a bright and familiar figure running out from the school gate.
She wore a light dress with pink and white floral patterns, over which was a white bolero jacket.
As she ran, her smooth long hair bobbed up and down like a fine piece of silk.
Her tender fair face, probably flushed slightly from running, looked even more attractive.
Jiang Taoās gaze locked onto the approaching Jiang Yi, and his action of lighting the cigarette paused.
As a normal man.
Jiang Yiās beauty and charm werenāt without some attraction for him.
Especially her outfit today, full of femininity, which struck Jiang Taoās fancy.
"Huff huff... Sorry for keeping you waiting, Jiang Tao."
"Let me offer you a cup of coffee as an apology, okay?"
Barely catching her breath, Jiang Yi stood in front of Jiang Tao and handed him a warm cup of coffee.
"How did Teacher Jiang know I like coffee? Oh, I get it, it must have been Jiang Xue who told you, right?"
Jiang Tao joked with Jiang Yi, accepting the coffee, and added, "Thanks, Teacher Jiang."
Jiang Yi brushed back a strand of hair beside her ear, slightly embarrassed:
"No need to be polite, itās free coffee from the pantry in our office."
"Uh, haha, Teacher Jiang, sometimes honesty isnāt necessary."
Jiang Tao was amused by Jiang Yiās honesty; this was so typical of her!
"Come on, Teacher Jiang, get in the car, itās about time. We can chat on the way."
Jiang Tao motioned for Jiang Yi, then turned to open the car door and got in.
Jiang Yi hesitated slightly before walking around the front of the car to open the passenger door and get in, fastening her seatbelt.
The seatbelt accentuated her chest, showing an enticing shape, with a noticeable cleft in the middle.
It must be said, Jiang Yiās figure was indeed amazing and real.
This was something Jiang Tao had noticed on previous visits to her home, seeing her in pajamas and tight yoga clothes.
Muttering silently not to stare inappropriately, Jiang Tao finally shifted his focus from the cleavage, starting the car towards Wanxianghui.
On the way, Jiang Yi contemplated several times to ask why Jiang Tao suddenly invited her and Director Han for lunch,
but she held back.
"Could it be that he wants Director Han to pay more attention to Xiao Xue, and Iām just there to smooth things over?"
"Maybe heās not that familiar with Director Han and doesnāt have much to chat about, so he invited me to liven things up?"
"Does he know that Director Han and I donāt get along? What if things go wrong..."
The more Jiang Yi thought in her little head, the heavier her heart became, feeling more responsibility on her shoulders.
"Um, Jiang Tao, actually with Director Han, I..."
"I know, is Director Han giving you a hard time lately?"
Jiang Tao interrupted before Jiang Yi could explain further.
"How do you know? And you still..."
Jiang Yi looked puzzled at Jiang Tao, her head full of questions.
"Precisely because sheās giving you a hard time, I invited both of you to lunch, to help ease the tension between you."
Jiang Tao drove while working on improving Jiang Yiās impression, aiming to gain some benefits for himself.
"What? Jiang Tao, you..."
Upon learning that the lunch Jiang Tao arranged today was to help her and Director Han improve their relationship,
her charming face showed surprise, amazement, and deep gratitude.
Oh no, why do my eyes feel hot, as if something is about to fall out.
This unexpected concern when feeling helpless, particularly touched Jiang Yiās heartstring.
She looked into his eyes, his face, not sure if it was from being moved or just her illusion.
She felt Jiang Taoās features seemed more pleasing, more defined, more handsome.
Actually, this change was because of the recently triggered special event which increased Jiang Taoās charm points.
Not only did Jiang Yi find him more appealing, but also Xu Li, Du Enan, Jiang Bing, his parents, and Jiang Jiaqi noticed the change in Jiang Tao.
