Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 429: Chapter 428: Working for Boss Jiang is Awesome.

"Yeah, I know," Jiang Liu nodded.

He sighed inwardly, a little wistful.

He still remembered running all over the place with Yang Yixue when they were buying a house.

It took over a month to buy a single property, and only after going through endless approvals did they finally get it.

And even then, they couldn’t get the deed because it was a loan; the deed was mortgaged to the bank.

It took Jiang Liu and his parents several years to pay off the 500,000 yuan mortgage.

This time, however, it only took three days.

So fast.

"I have to say, the joy of the rich is just so simple and unadorned!"

Cai Tianyu said, "Mr. Jiang, I have the contact information for the clerk here. Once the deed is issued in a few days, I’ll be the first to know. I can come pick it up for you then, you don’t—"

"Ahem."

Wang City cut her off, blocking Jiang Liu with his thin frame.

"Lawyer Cai, there’s no need to trouble an outsider like you with running back and forth. I’m right here in South City, and the staff here are all my friends. I’ll take care of it, haha."

"You? I’ve heard Lawyer Wang has quite a fiery temper. What if Mr. Jiang makes you run a few errands and you get annoyed? Wouldn’t you end up cursing at him?"

Lawyer Wang flew into a rage. "What kind of bullshit is that? I’d curse anyone before I’d curse Boss Jiang! What’s our relationship? And what’s your relationship with him? Get lost! Go cool off somewhere else!"

The two started arguing again.

Jiang Tongtong sat in Jun Qingmeng’s lap, chewing on her fingers as she watched the spectacle.

In the end, Jiang Liu was forced to make a choice. "Lawyer Cai, you’re not as close by as Lawyer Wang, so don’t worry about running back and forth. Driving on the road has its risks too. Let’s just have Lawyer Wang handle these errands."

He deliberately used the word "errands" to downplay the task’s importance, giving Cai Tianyu a graceful way to back down.

As for Lawyer Wang... that guy was now puffing out his chest, looking smugly and disdainfully at Cai Tianyu.

’What’s wrong with running errands?’

’Isn’t being a lawyer just doing legwork?’

’Besides, is running errands for Boss Jiang really just running errands? It’s an excuse to score a free meal!’

Cai Tianyu’s expression softened considerably.

Though her attempt at sucking up hadn’t been perfect, she had at least made an impression on Mr. Jiang.

「2:30 PM.」

The group left the Housing Authority building together.

"Lawyer Cai, take this." Jiang Liu handed Cai Tianyu a half-catty of ham.

"What’s this?"

Cai Tianyu took it instinctively.

"It’s the ham from my shop. Take it home and enjoy it. Just don’t tell your President Jun," Jiang Liu said with a smile.

He made a point of reminding her. If his Uncle Jun found out, he would definitely try to snatch it away from her.

"Ham?!"

Cai Tianyu’s eyes widened in pleasant surprise. She instinctively adjusted her glasses, then excitedly leaned over the bag and took a sniff.

A rich, smoky aroma wafted up to her. She couldn’t help but rejoice that she had made the right choice in coming. Working for Mr. Jiang was just so rewarding.

So many perks.

"Alright, hurry up and go. Stop being a nuisance here." Lawyer Wang waved his hand dismissively, shooing her away.

Cai Tianyu ignored him. "Thank you, Mr. Jiang! I never thought I’d get to eat your ham. You have no idea, but in Jing City, even a single slice of your ham would have rich young masters fighting over it!"

She delivered a small but natural-sounding piece of flattery.

"Good, I’m glad you like it. Be careful on your way back. We’ll work together again when there’s another opportunity."

"Of course, Mr. Jiang! ...Young Miss, I’ll be heading back now."

Cai Tianyu was clearly a little afraid of Jun Qingmeng. The usually poised and generous woman became timid in her presence.

"Mm, be careful on the road."

Jun Qingmeng nodded, her expression unreadable.

Whenever she faced people from the company, she would subconsciously put on a cold, hard facade to protect herself.

Wang City was starting to get a little unhappy on the side.

Who could be in a good mood when someone was trying to steal their rice bowl right in front of them?

He was the one who had discovered Boss Jiang first, and now people were always sniffing out the trail and coming over to be a nuisance.

After Cai Tianyu left, Jiang Liu took out another bag.

"Lawyer Wang, this is for you! There’s quite a bit more in this one. Take it home, put it in the fridge, and enjoy it with your wife."

"Alrighty!"

Lawyer Wang reached out and took the bag, but the sudden weight on his wrist nearly made him stumble.

’Good heavens!’

’This is heavy!’

’Boss Jiang really does favor me the most!’

"Haha, this is a lot! Boss Jiang, you’re too generous. My wife has been nagging me nonstop about wanting to try your food."

Lawyer Wang’s face immediately bloomed into a wide smile.

’Look at that.’

’Preferential treatment!’

’Boss Jiang gave you that tiny little box, and he gave me this huge bag.’

’With that kind of status, you still think you can compete with me for Boss Jiang’s favor?’

’In your next life!’

He tried his best to suppress his smile, but his mouth wouldn’t obey, stretching wide in a silent laugh.

"If your wife wants to eat, just come find me. It’s no trouble for me to set some aside for you during the day."

"Haha, great."

Lawyer Wang hoisted the bag into his car with some effort, then asked in surprise, "Boss Jiang, you’ve got some serious strength. You must work out a lot, huh?"

He threw a subtle glance at Jun Qingmeng.

’Good heavens.’

’He could barely lift it, but Boss Jiang handled it like it was a piece of paper. The man’s overall physical condition is no joke.’

Thinking of the reproachful looks his wife gave him every night, Wang City decided he had to get a gym membership.

Jiang Liu waved his hand. "It’s alright. Just a bit stronger than the average person."

"Any secrets? I’ve been working out recently, but I just eat and don’t gain any muscle."

"Uh, I’m not too sure, but I’d suggest you focus on your stomach’s health. If your digestion is good, you’ll get enough nutrients. Once you put on some weight, you can turn it into muscle."

"That makes sense. You know quite a lot, Boss Jiang," Lawyer Wang thought in surprise.

’It seems Boss Jiang is no ordinary top student.’

He took out the household registration transfer authorization form from a bag in his trunk.

"Boss Jiang, please sign this. Without it, I can’t officially transfer your household registration for you."

"Alright."

Jiang Liu took the pen, signed his name, and added his thumbprint.

Wang City’s junior lawyer assistant trotted over to the copy shop next to the Housing Authority to copy the household registration pages for Jiang Liu, Jun Qingmeng, and Jiang Tongtong.

"The copies need to be signed too," Wang City reminded him from the side.

"Okay."

Jiang Liu continued to sign and add his thumbprint.

The authorization was now in effect.

Wang City put the documents away. "Once the household registration book is issued, I’ll transfer the registration for you. I can’t do it just yet."

"How long will that take?"

"Probably a day or two after we get the registration book."

Wang City glanced at Jun Qingmeng, who was holding Jiang Liu’s hand, and said with a sudden smile, "Boss Jiang, if you ask me, you two should get your marriage certificate already. When we filed the household registration, your relationship was listed as husband and wife, wasn’t it?"

Jun Qingmeng squeezed Jiang Liu’s hand.

Jiang Tongtong’s little eyes lit up with excitement.

’I’m going to be Mommy’s real baby soon!’

Jiang Liu looked at the time and asked, "Is the Civil Affairs Bureau open on Saturdays and Sundays?"

"Nope, it’s closed." Wang City immediately shook his head. In reality, he could pull some strings and get it done on a weekend.

But he wasn’t stupid. He saw the meaningful look from the Young Miss and didn’t dare to cross her.

"Boss Jiang, you should hurry up and go. Whether you do it sooner or later, you still have to do it, right? You happen to have all the documents with you, and the whole thing will take less than an hour."

Jiang Liu frowned.

If they went now, it would be difficult to make it back in time for the evening’s business. The schedule was too tight.

But if they didn’t go today...

They would have to wait until Monday.

"Daddy!" Jiang Tongtong tugged on his pants.

The little sweetheart was dying of impatience.
