Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

Who could have predicted this outcome?

She assumed the competition was healthy and the tactics were standard. She chose to respect Zhou Fengliu, maintain a proper distance, and believe that a steady, methodical approach would yield results...

However, some people lack sportsmanship and maliciously cheat! And they even have their own kids with them!

...

"Hey?"

"Swallow, where is he?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's voice coming through the phone receiver, the Feng siblings, each lost in their own thoughts, finally snapped out of their daze.

“I’m listening…” Feng Shayan first answered Zhou Fengliu, then asked:

Where are you now? I want to go see you...

"I?"

"I just met with Xia He in East China... What's up? You want to meet Xia He too?"

Hearing that Zhou Fengliu had already met with Xia He, Feng Shayan felt even more defeated and eliminated.

This plot...

It seems like things have already progressed rapidly, heading towards a harmonious and happy family reunion. What else is there for her to do?

“I won’t see her…” Feng Shayan replied.

She genuinely didn't want to see Xia He; she was afraid that if they met, they might end up fighting... and things would get out of control, which would be incredibly ugly...

"So... what are your plans? To reconcile with Xia He for the sake of the child? To start a family?"

Hearing Feng Shayan's tentative question, Zhou Fengliu answered without much hesitation on the phone:

What are your plans?

"Of course, we'll take it one step at a time. Compromise is out of the question. I'll raise the child myself, starting as a single father... As for Xia He, she has problematic thinking and needs to be reformed..."

"???"

Zhou Fengliu's answer was like a timely gift, bringing a renewed glimmer of hope to Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan.

The visible changes on his face were like the arrival of spring, a vibrant scene of life bursting forth, as if it were still vivid in my mind...

...

"I see..."

"Hmm, that's like you."

Feng Shayan suppressed her sudden joy and tried to remain calm as she spoke again:

"When you return to South China, I'll buy some things and go see the kids..."

Zhou Fengliu did not refuse Feng Shayan's request:

"Okay, let's go..."

...

After hanging up the phone, Feng Shayan took a deep breath.

This dramatic turn of events made her feel like she was walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff.

"Sis...the hard times are over, the opportunity is right in front of you!"

Seeing that the two had hung up the call, Feng Xingtong approached them, acting as a cunning strategist.

"What do you mean by 'after hardship comes happiness'?" Feng Shayan frowned.

"That's not important. What's important is that the opportunity has come. Your brother-in-law didn't refuse your request to see the child, which means... you have a chance to become a stepmother!"

Feng Xingtong began to analyze:

"Doesn't Xia He like to steal towers? We can also strike at her root!"

"Big brother has already opened the door. As long as you seize the opportunity and build a deep bond with the child while Xia He is away, it's hard to say who the real mother will be. She might be the one who gets eliminated this time."

...

P.S.: Just asking for everything, thank you all for your support!

Chapter 618 The Battle for Stepmotherhood? Is it really that abstract?

Alas!

This battle for stepmotherhood... is really a bit abstract...

Listening to Feng Xingtong's words, Feng Shayan gained a general understanding of the situation. Leaving aside her biological mother, Xia He, the fact that Fu Rong was willing to be a concubine was quite melodramatic...

How did the plot get so abstract?

Feng Shayan pondered, but to no avail.

...

The next day.

Zhou Fengliu had returned to Hua Nan Na Du Tong from East China. As soon as he arrived at the Hua Nan Na Du Tong branch, he saw two unexpected guests.

Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan?

Jay Chou looked quite surprised when he saw the two of them.

What are you two doing here?

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Zhang Chulan chuckled, "Fourth Brother sent us on a business trip, and we just happened to be passing through South China, so we thought we'd drop by to see you, Brother Liu..."

"I heard from Junior Uncle that you, Brother Liu, have had a son..."

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he nudged Feng Baobao, who was standing to the side, signaling her to take out something. Feng Baobao nodded understandingly and then rummaged through her pocket.

A bulging red envelope was pulled from Feng Baobao's pocket and handed to Zhou Fengliu:

"Xiao Zhou, Chu Lan said to give it to the child...it's not much money, it's just the thought that counts..."

"?"

Zhou Fengliu was genuinely surprised by what Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan had done to him.

Many people had already learned about the child's background, but Zhang Chulan was the first to know and give a gift to the child...

Although the amount of money wasn't much, it deeply pleased the man who wanted to add money... This shows that Zhang Chulan reacted quickly.

"Brother Liu, this is just a small token of my appreciation," Zhang Chulan added with a smile.

"You're so sensible."

Faced with Zhang Chulan's feelings, Zhou Fengliu didn't say much and chose to accept them.

"Come in and sit down. Are you both looking after the child?"

"Hmm, an extraordinary appearance, no wonder he's Liu-ge's child..."

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao followed them into the house. The three of them sat inside, chatting casually and drinking some tea. During this time, Feng Shayan from the Tianxia Society arrived as promised, driving her Cayenne and parking in front of Na Du Tong.

Feng Shayan directed her younger brother to unload the nutritional supplements from the car, and the two of them, carrying large and small bags, walked into the Nadutong branch.

Upon seeing Feng Shayan arrive, Fu Rong, who had just come out of her office, immediately frowned.

no...

Why is Feng Shayan at the company?

Are you still carrying so much stuff?

What does she want to do?

Fu Rong thought for a moment. She did not expose herself, but secretly watched. After watching Feng Shayan lead Feng Xingtong into Zhou Fengliu's office, she felt a trace of danger.

Something's not right...

Something's definitely not right!

A woman's intuition is often surprisingly accurate. Sensing something was amiss, Fu Rong didn't act rashly. She chose the simplest approach... which was to eavesdrop by the wall...

inside the house.

Zhang Chulan was somewhat surprised to see the arrival of the Feng siblings.

"Oh, Brother Chu Lan is here too!"

Upon seeing Zhang Chulan, Feng Xingtong greeted him very warmly.

"Just arrived... What brings you two here?"

"Ah, didn't Big Brother have a baby? Come and see the child..." Hearing Feng Xingtong's reply, Zhang Chulan nodded as if he understood.

This information... is really accurate...

Zhang Chulan thought to himself without showing any emotion.

It's worth noting that they received this news by chance while in South China, from their junior uncle Zhang Lingyu...

Who is Zhang Lingyu?

That's Zhou Fengliu's personal confidante, no... his trusted lieutenant! A pillar of South China, it's perfectly normal for him to know...

But where did Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan get this information from?

Could it be that the Feng family's intelligence network has already extended to all of South China?

Just as Zhang Chulan was brainstorming, Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan approached Tuantuan, who was napping in the crib.

Looking at Tuantuan, who was fast asleep and looked like a porcelain doll, the siblings couldn't help but sigh.

Feng Shayan sighed, marveling at the child's excellent natural talent; she possessed a certain charm and was sure to grow into a beautiful woman...

As for Feng Xingtong, she sighed at how adorable the child was. Although he wasn't her older sister's biological child, if her older sister became a stepmother... their father, Feng Zhenghao, would probably be grinning from ear to ear...

Thinking of this, Feng Xingtong gave Feng Shayan an approving look.

"Has the child... been named yet?" Feng Shayan asked Zhou Fengliu.

“Yes, let’s call him Zhou An’an,” Zhou Fengliu replied.
