"Do you know of the Xinghao International Hotel?"

Zhang Yuxi thought for a moment. The name sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite place it.

"Xinghao International is a hotel in Yangcheng."

"A few days ago, the owner was short on cash and planned to sell."

"Your husband got lucky. He stumbled upon the opportunity and acquired it."

Zhang Yuxi let out a small "Ah!" of realization.

"I remember now… It's not far from the South Train Station. I even interviewed for a job at a nearby university once."

Her credentials were fine for the application; the main problem was that she couldn't find suitable housing nearby. In the end, the whole thing came to nothing.

That's why she was vaguely familiar with Xinghao International. She recalled it was a three-star hotel.

Zhang Yuxi blinked. "Honey, it must have been expensive, right?"

"It was alright. The owner was desperate to sell, so I had inside information. The price was great, and I made a decent profit."

Zhang Yuxi frowned. "But honey, do you know how to manage a hotel?"

Lin Feng smiled. "If I don't know, I can learn. Don't forget, you married a top student! Besides, Xinghao International is an established hotel. It can practically run itself."

Zhang Yuxi was speechless.

She trusted Lin Feng completely, so naturally, she was fully supportive of his decision to acquire the hotel.

She clung to him. "Honey, do you know? The more successful you become, the more insecure I feel."

Lin Feng had noticed this, but he was puzzled.

I haven't changed one bit toward her, the babies, or our family. The only difference is that I have more assets, but that doesn't make me a bad guy! There are no signs of me turning bad, either. I'm still the same person, and I try my best to cherish her. Especially in *certain* matters, I'm always trying my hardest to prove myself. All my reserves are saved just for her. My obsession with her has never wavered.

Lin Feng lifted her chin. "Sweetheart, tell me. Why do you feel so insecure?"

"Because you're too amazing!"

"Look at you. You're handsome and have a great physique. Your looks alone are enough to make a whole legion of women fall for you. And that's not to mention you're also rich, gentle, family-oriented, and patient…"

Thinking about herself, Zhang Yuxi's heart sank.

And then there's me. Besides being pretty, I don't have any real talents. I can't do laundry or cook, I'm bad at housework, and I don't know how to take care of the kids. Other than eating and sleeping, it feels like there's nothing I'm good at.

Her mood plummeted at the thought.

"And to think I once boasted that I could provide for you and the babies…"

Lin Feng gently touched her face, his expression serious.

"If I wanted someone who could do laundry, cook, and take care of children, I would have just hired a nanny. As for me being handsome, aren't you a stunning beauty yourself? And when it comes to money, I earn it all for you and the babies. I have no other motives."

"I don't know how to make you feel secure… Tell me, what should I do?"

"How about I transfer all my money to you? If our roles were reversed, would that make you feel safe?"

Zhang Yuxi said quickly, "No, no, that's not necessary! I was just feeling down today and spoke my mind. I'll be fine in a moment. I just need to pull myself together!"

But a woman's attempt to "calm down" and "adjust" often just leads to more overthinking.

Lin Feng held her close. "I will always love you, our babies, and this family."

He had said this many times and proven it with his actions over and over again.

How could she not feel it? She hugged him back tightly. "Honey, I know. I know!"

"Hmm, how about we go to Modu for the Lunar New Year?"

Zhang Yuxi nodded. "Okay."

That night, a bout of passion was inevitable.

「The next day.」

Zhang Yuxi was still asleep. After Lin Feng washed up, he called Jiang Chenchen's father. The sound of machinery echoed from the other end of the line.

"Mr. Lin, is that you? What can I do for you?"

"If you're busy now, we can talk later when you're free."

"Okay, I'm a bit tied up. Can I call you back in ten minutes?"

"No problem," Lin Feng replied.

「Ten minutes later.」

"Mr. Jiang, here's the situation. I've acquired a hotel," Lin Feng began. "I heard your wife used to be in hotel management, and I have a position for her. Also, I'm opening a baby supply superstore in a few months. If she's interested, she could work there too. You can rest assured the salary will be good."

Jiang Chenchen's father hesitated for a moment on the other end. "I can't answer for her. I'll have to go home and ask what she thinks."

"Alright. Ask your wife and see what she says."

That evening, after Jiang Chenchen's father got home, showered, and changed into clean clothes, he brought up the topic at the dinner table.

"Honey, what do you think?"

Jiang Chenchen's mother looked conflicted. "If you hadn't found work yet, I might have given it a try. But now that you have a job, who's going to look after our son if I go to work?"

Jiang Chenchen's father took a bite of meat, hesitating. "Honey, this job pays daily. If you want to go, you can give it a try. If it doesn't work out, it's no big deal."

Mrs. Jiang fell silent, apparently lost in thought. After she finished washing the dishes, she came out of the kitchen and sat down next to her husband.

"Honey, if I take the job, you'll have to stay home and take care of our son. Can you handle that?"

Her husband looked surprised. "Of course I can. It's just a matter of learning and asking questions. Our son isn't a little baby anymore. He knows when he's hot or cold, and he can tell us what he needs. Taking care of him is a lot easier than looking after an infant."

She nodded, choosing to trust her husband on this. Taking his hand, she said, "Once my job is stable and you've also found something suitable, we can enroll him in a morning daycare. He loves making friends and playing. Being cooped up at home all day is boring for him."

Her husband hesitated for a second before agreeing. "Okay."

Once the couple had reached an agreement, Jiang Chenchen's father called Lin Feng. "My wife agrees to the offer," he said.

"Great," Lin Feng replied. "Have her go to the Xinghao International tomorrow and ask for a manager named Wang Zhihua. His phone number is 134-9697-XXXX…"

After they hung up, the couple was stunned. The Xinghao International was just a short electric scooter ride away, right across the new bridge. Without that bridge, the trip would take over forty minutes.

Wait a minute… Xinghao International Hotel?

Mr. Jiang saw his wife's strange expression and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

He had always worked out of town, only coming home once every few months, so he was naturally out of the loop on some things.

Mrs. Jiang exclaimed, "The Xinghao International Hotel is one of the best value-for-money three-star hotels in all of Yangcheng! When you talk about hotels with great value, everyone knows Xinghao International."

"When did it get acquired? Their business always seemed to be booming."

The couple had assumed it was just some ordinary, small-time hotel. She never imagined it would be the Xinghao International.

The salary probably won't be low at all. A wave of happiness washed over her at the thought.

Lin Feng then called Wang Zhihua. "Someone named Pan Lei will be coming to see you tomorrow. Please show her the ropes."

Wang Zhihua seized on the key phrase. "'Show her the ropes'?"

"She has experience in hotel management but has been out of the industry for a few years taking care of her family. She's the mother of one of my kids' friends."

Ah, I see. This is someone I need to give special attention and training to. Wang Zhihua understood immediately.

"Understood, Director Lin."

After hanging up, Lin Feng mentioned the arrangement to his wife.

"Whatever you think is best," Zhang Yuxi agreed.

Jiang Chenchen's parents were both honest, good-hearted people. It was no wonder they had raised such a well-behaved child.
