Du Yujiao has good reasons to treat Zhu Bufan so well. Over the years that Du Yujiao has been married to Zhan Yucheng, she gave birth to two daughters for him, Zhan Feiyu and Zhan Feihuang, but never managed to have a son.

Zhan Feilong was from Zhan Yucheng's previous marriage; Zhan Yucheng's ex-wife passed away many years ago. After Du Yujiao joined the family, she became Zhan Feilong's step-mother. Although she never abused Zhan Feilong, their relationship had always been lukewarm.

Du Yujiao doted on her two daughters undeniably.

However, Zhan Yucheng held his son Zhan Feilong in very high regard. He greatly valued Zhan Feilong, who was quickly appointed to a senior position in the company right after graduating from university—his rise up the ranks was meteoric.

According to Zhan Yucheng, he intended to let Zhan Feilong inherit all of the company's assets, providing his daughters with a dowry of hundreds of millions each—once a daughter is married off, she's like water splashed out. Zhan Yucheng preferred keeping the family assets within the family.

After several years of negotiation, Du Yujiao got him to reluctantly agree to give each of the Zhan sisters 20% of the assets, with the remaining 60% going to Zhan Feilong.

In fact, the internal affairs of Yucheng Company were incredibly complex; it wasn't just Zhan Yucheng who called the shots. Many of the businesses were started by Du Yujiao herself, and a large portion of the assets were marital property shared with Zhan Yucheng. Both had stakes in them.

Thus, besides the usual channel of "dividing" assets, acquiring them through "seizure" was also an option. With Zhan Yucheng's support behind him, coupled with his own ruthlessness and decisiveness, Zhan Feilong was formidable in his own right.

Zhan Feiyu was cunning enough, but she suffered from chronic illness, her frail constitution and gentle demeanor meant that even with Du Yujiao's support, she was barely able to protect herself, let alone strike back.

Zhan Feihuang was genuinely a fool.

Thus, finding a powerful ally to join her ranks was urgent!

Zhu Bufan was the most suitable candidate.

Zhu Bufan had the strong means necessary to confront Zhan Feilong and his cronies head-on. Coupled with little Feiyu's cleverness, they were sure to defeat Zhan Feilong and seize the greatest benefits!

Du Yujiao held Zhu Bufan in her arms, treating him with the same affection as she would her own son. All the while, Zhu Bufan felt blissfully happy, yet also unbearably embarrassed—damn it, I'm nearly a 20-year-old man, how could she hold me like this?

"Mom, let go for a moment, I need to breathe," Zhu Bufan, almost overwhelmed by the scent of her perfume, couldn't help but speak up.

"Now's not the time to go, Zhu Bufan. Your second aunt is still furious. If you go now, she will beat you up. Just stay here with mom; it's safe," Du Yujiao said, finally letting Zhu Bufan's head out of her embrace.

With some freedom regained, although Du Yujiao still held onto his arm, it didn't feel like a big deal. Her hands were crystal clear, soft and smooth - holding her hand was actually quite the pleasure.

In this manner, Zhu Bufan greedily indulged in this "shameless" happiness.

After Du Yujia's announcements, the company's various positions were generally managed. As the company gradually got on the right track, both Du Yujia and Zhu Bufan's workload would reduce significantly, with professionals responsible for each department.

The busy day flew by, and it finally grew dark. Zhan Yucheng had other matters to attend to and had left earlier, but Du Yujiao stayed back. There was still one more thing she had to handle.

Zhu Bufan held a large celebratory banquet at the riverside square with his entourage, and the group of people who had come from his hometown were all properly settled today. Although they were merely low-level employees, they were quite content.

The Yuecheng Company under Yi Family offers good welfare, even ordinary employees earn an average of over 3000 yuan. It was Du Yujia, the reckless woman, who established this. Regardless of the company's revenue, nearly 200,000 yuan had to be paid out daily for salaries.

It wouldn't be a problem if the company does well, but if it doesn't, Zhu Bufan won't be happy for long.

Du Yujiao was in her own room, deep in thought about the relationship between Zhan Feihuang and Zhu Bufan. Previously, she thought Zhu Bufan was merely a somewhat skilled folk doctor, although effective, having Zhan Feihuang marry him was already quite favorable.

Now, seeing that Zhu Bufan holds an unimaginable value, having the foolish Zhan Feihuang marry him would be a waste of resources. Zhan Feihuang cannot fully utilize Zhu Bufan's potential. Having Zhan Feiyu marry Zhu Bufan would indeed maximize his value.

Du Yujia came in from outside and saw Du Yujiao spacing out at her desk, then she took the initiative to speak, "Sis, I have something to tell you."

"Oh? What is it?" Du Yujiao lifted her head and smiled, "We're good sisters, just speak your mind."

Du Yujia dropped a bombshell: "Sis, I think Xiaohuang and Zhu Bufan are not suitable, it should be me who marries Zhu Bufan, what do you think?"

"What did you say!" Du Yujiao widened her eyes in disbelief, "Didn't you previously say the age difference between you two was large and it wouldn't be suitable to be together, what now?"

Du Yujia sincerely said, "I can feel that Zhu Bufan is a man with a strong sense of career, even saying he is somewhat eager for quick success isn't too much. For his career, he can bravely face adversity without fear and compromise for stability, which is indispensable for someone to achieve great things!"

Du Yujiao nodded, her own husband, Zhan Yucheng, was a successful man. Du Yujiao knew too well about successful men.

Zhu Bufan's character demonstrated a controlled flexibility, moderate in hardness and softness, and his tactics were astonishingly varied. Given a developmental opportunity, he would certainly rise rapidly, possibly even surpassing Zhan Yucheng in the future.

Seeing Du Yujiao nod, Du Yujia continued, "Zhu Bufan is like a sharp sword, very powerful, but this sword still needs someone to wield it. If Xiaohuang wields it, this sharp sword would turn into a butcher's knife."

"Um…" Du Yujiao blushed and, biting the bullet, said, "Xiaohuang is just a bit too frank, but she is really smart too."

Du Yujia shook her head helplessly, "Sis, can't you see? Xiaohuang can't do it!"

This time, Du Yujiao did not retort but simply nodded, "Xiaohuang indeed falls short, but that kid doesn't seem willing to...?" Du Yujiao cut off halfway, leaving her sentence unfinished.

Du Yujia understood and nodded, "Indeed, he is a bit disdainful of me being older, but for his career, I think he will accept me!"

"This…" Du Yujiao was at a loss for words, not sure what to say anymore.

Zhan Feiyu walked in from outside, leisurely saying, "Auntie, what are you doing? Coming here to snatch your niece's boyfriend, that's too lame!"

"Ah!" Du Yujia was shocked, her conversation just now had been entirely overheard by this girl, how embarrassing. Blushing, she retorted, "Who's snatching a man from you, go to hell, I'll beat you to death right now!"
