The Man In Rage novel Chapter 319

Qiu Mu-Cheng almost went insane.

A bureau chief?

Make do with a chief role?

"Mum, are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying? You even want a chief role? Do you know how big that role is? So many people never make it to chief their entire lives but you make it sound so easy! You make it sound like this position is too lowly for my dad. Do you think we're the government and we can be anything we want? How could you ask for such a high position? How do you expect Ye Fan to ask Mayor Han something like this?!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't expect her mother to make such an unreasonable request and was so shocked. Fortunately, Han Dong-Min wasn't around to hear this, otherwise, her mother would probably have completely disgraced her family.

But Han Li was displeased with Qiu Mu-Cheng's reaction.

"Mu-Cheng, how could you say that?

What's wrong with getting Fan to find your dad a job? Fan hasn't said anything and you're the one complaining instead. Han Dong-Min is one of the highest ranking men in the city, so he can get this settled with one word. You're our daughter, while Fan is our son-in-law. Don't you think you have an obligation to help with such a small favor? I didn't ask for much and Fan didn't say anything. Instead, you are the one reacting so violently. Daughters who are married are the worst! You've only lived with Fan for three years but your father and I raised you for more than 20 years!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng only said a few things but Han Li retorted with ten times as much.

But of course, Han Li was just using her seniority to get her way.

Han Li felt that since she raised Qiu Mu-Cheng, she was considered an elder in the family and all her children had to go along with her. If they didn't, they would be considered unfilial and disrespectful.

She felt that it was right for children to repay their parents unconditionally!

"You...Mum, you're really ridiculous," said Qiu Mu-Cheng exasperatedly. But she knew that her mother would never listen to her.

So she decided to ignore her as she scoffed and turned to leave angrily.

Ye Fan pulled Qiu Mu-Cheng back and smiled and comforted her, "Mu-Cheng, don't be angry. Let's have dinner first."

After pacifying Qiu Mu-Cheng, Ye Fan turned to Han Li and said, "Mum, what you're asking is quite difficult to achieve. I can only say I'll do my best."

Since his mother-in-law asked, Ye Fan wouldn't defy her wishes openly.

There was an art to conversation. Qiu Mu-Cheng was their daughter and could speak her mind without worrying about anything. But Ye Fan was only the son-in-law and it was inappropriate for him to speak like Qiu Mu-Cheng, because it would only create more hostility within the family.

A harmonious family bred prosperity.

At times like this, it was necessary to be more tactful.

Ye Fan planned to promise them first and pretend to ask. Then he would get back to them a few days later to tell them there were no openings.

It was best not to publicly oppose them when it came to dealing with Han Li and Qiu Lei.

"Just look at the difference! Mu-Cheng, you're our daughter but you aren't even half as good as our son-in-law. Those who didn't know would think Fan is our son, and you were our daughter-in-law.”

When they heard Ye Fan agree to help, Han Li and her husband were immediately delighted.
