Who told me my whole life is destined to owe something to the second oldest? Endure!
Jin Bo looked at the old man, "Grandpa, I came to see you."
The old man saw that the boss had already felt snubbed at the second oldest’s place, so he didn’t tease him further.
He looked at Jin Bo, "Has anything happened recently?"
Jin Bo didn’t mention the incident at his residence last night, to avoid worrying the old man.
The old man wanted to suggest the boss stay here, but thinking of this being Huo Jinnan’s territory, he swallowed his words.
After all, he’s also living on someone else’s property now!
To see his three great-grandchildren, he can endure any grievance.
Huo Jinnan glanced at the two of them, then thought about the news he just received from the police station, "Where do you plan to stay during this time?"
Jin Bo looked at Huo Jinnan, "Work is quite busy, so I’ll stay at the office."
Huo Jinnan said, "Grandpa gets quite bored all day, you should stay here and keep him company."
The old man, "..."
When was he ever bored?
The second oldest needs a smack!
He squeezed his cane but didn’t make a move.
Jin Bo looked at the old man, "In that case, I’ll keep grandpa company for a few days."
The old man cast a sidelong glance at the boss, nowadays, he’d rather have his great-grandchildren accompany him than the boss. Whether the boss stays or not is irrelevant; getting married soon and having kids is the real priority.

The next day, as soon as Jin Bo reached the office door, he saw Zhou Xiaotong.
He glanced at Fang Zheng, "Make two cups of coffee and bring them in, one with no sugar."
Fang Zheng replied, "Okay, Mayor Jin."
Jin Bo entered the office, turned back to Zhou Xiaotong, "Come in and sit."
Zhou Xiaotong entered the room and sat down on a chair beside him, "Brother Jin—"
Jin Bo’s voice was magnetic, "This is a workplace, call me Mayor Jin."
Zhou Xiaotong, "..."
Jin Bo, "So, what’s the purpose of your visit today?"
Zhou Xiaotong, "My father asked me to give this to you."
He handed an envelope to Jin Bo.
Just then, Fang Zheng came in, carrying two cups of coffee, "Mayor Jin, here’s your coffee."
Jin Bo looked at Zhou Xiaotong, "Place the one without sugar in front of Mr. Zhou, and the one with sugar in front of me."
Fang Zheng, "..."
He thought Mayor Jin had suddenly developed a taste for bitter coffee.
Turns out, Mayor Jin intended to serve bitter coffee to his guest.
Bitter coffee, bitter coffee, could it mean ’to endure hardships’?
Jin Bo glanced at Fang Zheng, "Leave it and go out."
Fang Zheng placed the bitter coffee in front of Zhou Xiaotong and the other cup in front of Jin Bo.
Jin Bo picked it up, took a thin sip, then looked at Zhou Xiaotong, "Finish this cup of coffee first."
Zhou Xiaotong glanced at it and understood what he meant; knowing this cup of coffee had to be finished today, there was no other option.
He picked up the coffee and took just a small sip, then stopped!
So bitter!
He had never tasted such bitter coffee before.
Jin Bo looked at him, "Don’t like it? But I think this coffee suits you well."
Zhou Xiaotong, "It’s okay."
After saying that, he braced himself and finished it.
Jin Bo waited until he finished, then opened a drawer next to him, took out a box of coffee, and handed it to Zhou Xiaotong, "Take this to your father, tell him this coffee is special; it’s not sold on the market, make sure he tries it. If he likes it, I’ll send him two more bags next time."
Zhou Xiaotong, "..."
He didn’t like it and knew his father definitely won’t like it either, but he couldn’t refuse now!
So he had no choice but to accept it!
Zhou Xiaotong glanced again at the letter pinched in his right hand, came to his senses, and handed it to "Jin Bo."
