Chapter 34 – Of Course She’s My Wife! Ding Ding, New Mission Activated!

“Dad, what do you think of Ye Fei?”

Zheng Wanyu thought for a moment and said, “As a person? He’s alright.”

“He’s definitely good-looking—I mean, he’s the most handsome guy I’ve ever met!”

Zheng Jianguo was speechless. “That’s not what I asked.”

“I meant his character, morals, and upbringing.”

Zheng Wanyu replied, “That part I’m not sure about, but the fact that he deliberately hid being the owner of Qingteng Bar is undeniable.”

“What I really can’t figure out is why.”

“Most guys these days love to show off how successful they are in front of girls.”

“But Ye Fei deliberately hides his strengths.”

“I seriously don’t get it.”

Zheng Jianguo had even worse suspicions.

“What if Ye Fei is actually the son of some super-rich family, pretending to be poor just to…”

“Stop, stop, stop!” Zheng Wanyu cut him off before he could finish.

“Dad, what era do you think we’re in? No one does that soap-opera nonsense anymore.”

“You think it’s impossible?” Zheng Jianguo pressed. “Then tell me why he’s hiding this from Wanqing?”

“I don’t know why, but it’s definitely not some cliché like you’re imagining.”

“Dad, this is exactly why I have to roast you a little.”

“It’s 2021 already, but your thinking is stuck in the last century!”

Zheng Jianguo grumbled, “You little brat, mocking your old man like that!”

“Hehe.” Zheng Wanyu dodged playfully and teased, “Comrade Lao Zheng, not to nitpick, but you clearly care about Wanqing, so why pretend not to?”

“Doesn’t it hurt?”

It did hurt—but Zheng Jianguo just couldn’t swallow his pride.

Back then, he had repeatedly warned Wanqing not to date anyone during school.

And now? She had thrown his words out the window.

Even gave away her first time.

To that punk Ye Fei, no less.

How could he not be pissed?

He raised his precious daughter for twenty years, only for some wild pig to swoop in and claim the cabbage.

The guy was fuming.

“Whatever. Think it over yourself, I’m heading upstairs!”

Li Qiuchun chimed in, “Lao Zheng, come on. Don’t bicker with a kid.”

“In a few days, I’ll play mediator. You should sit down and talk openly with your daughter.”

“Also, invite her boyfriend Ye Fei to the house.”

“Have a proper conversation with him, okay?”

“Wouldn’t a harmonious family be better than all this drama?”

“Besides, what good does your one-sided opposition do?”

“Your daughter’s grown up. She’s not going to listen to you like she used to.”

“At this point, the only person she listens to is Little Ye!”

“So you better step aside with those old bones of yours.”

“Otherwise, if you stress yourself into the hospital, no one’s going to take care of you.”

Zheng Jianguo was beyond frustrated.

She really is my wife, alright!

It was one thing for his daughter to take Ye Fei’s side.

But even his wife was siding with that guy.

Was he even the head of this family anymore?

Several days passed.

The office site for Kunlun Semiconductor Circuit Manufacturing Co. had been finalized.

Just needed some basic setup.

Then they could begin officially hiring new employees.

According to the system mission, they had to hire at least 100 employees to complete the task.

Only then would they receive the technology needed to manufacture domestic 0.1nm semiconductor chips.

Both lithography machines and chip manufacturing techniques had to be in place to begin true R&D.

One hundred employees!

Even at a monthly salary of five thousand yuan per person, That’s a monthly payroll of half a million.

And that doesn’t even include other operational costs.

Fortunately, Qingteng Bar’s finances were solid enough to support this for now.

The person in charge of recruitment, HR Manager Wang Hua, Had just made a blood oath to Ye Fei.

If he couldn’t hire the 100 employees within two weeks, He’d pack his bags and leave.

As the boss, Ye Fei obviously wouldn’t micromanage everything.

As long as reliable people handled the tasks, he could focus on the big picture.

A good boss isn’t just about having superior work skills.

It’s about managing the whole situation.

And when you have a highly valuable commercial project, With enough startup capital, All you need is to hire a team of experts to do the work for you.

Then just sit back and rake in the rewards.

As of now, Ye Fei’s top priority was still: Finding ways to make money!

Tons and tons of money.

Because domestic chip R&D was a bottomless money pit.

Even a public company’s ten-year net profit

Might not be enough to cover a single year’s expenses.

[Ding Ding! System mission released: Host must hide the fact that you’re secretly dating senior Zheng Wanqing in front of your parents. You must completely deny and refuse to admit it.]

[Duration of concealment: Forty-eight hours]

Only forty-eight hours?

Just two days?

This mission is a piece of cake!
