Little Baichuan was awakened by his mother and knew that he could not continue to push his luck. A rare look of embarrassment could be seen on his chubby little face.

The little fellow hid his embarrassment by covering his mouth and laughing. He didn't want anyone to coax him anymore and went towards the study room by himself.

Lu Miao couldn't help laughing.

Minmin subconsciously wanted to move, Lu Miao held her back and carefully instructed:

"Please look after your brother and make sure he doesn't tear up Shi An and the others' books."

Minmin nodded, and Lu Miao let her go.

After arranging everything here, he turned around and asked Tang Mei, who had come in with him out of worry, to take care of other things. Only then did Lu Miao look towards the other end of the coffee table.

Father Min, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit and with a solemn expression, sat upright. His serious look somewhat dissipated the warmth in the living room.

Tang Mei had just served tea, so Lu Miao just made himself a cup.

"Sorry for the long wait,"

Lu Miao was calm and composed. He sat down opposite Father Min with a cup of tea in his hand and got straight to the point:

"You came here this time because of Comrade Min's matter, right?"

Father Min glanced at Lu Miao, guessing that she should have some understanding of his identity, so he relaxed his expression slightly and nodded:

"Yes, I am Qiaoqiao's father, and I am here for Qiaoqiao's matter."

Lu Miao smiled calmly, nodded slightly and said:

"You say."

Father Min admired her calmness.

But thinking of the important matter, Father Min withdrew his thoughts and said in a steady and serious voice:

"It's not the right time to come to your house, but this isn't the first time it's happened, so I thought I'd come over and ask you in person what Comrade Xiao Lu meant by that."

Lu Miao took a sip of tea and nodded for him to continue.

Father Min frowned, feeling a sense of suffocation in his heart, but he could only continue:
"Qiaoqiao told me that she used to work in the same unit as you, but she had to leave because of you. This time she found a new job, but she has to leave again because of you... Comrade Xiao Lu, don't you think you should give a proper explanation for this matter?"

Lu Miao calmly put down his teacup and asked instead of answering, taking the initiative to throw the question back to Min's father:

"As her father, you must know Comrade Min's character better than anyone else. So before you said these words, didn't you consider whether the information you knew was comprehensive and true?"

The reason why you come here with so many troops is just to start a fire at home.

There is no need to think too much about how Min Qiaoqiao would exaggerate and complain.

"..."

These words hit the nail on the head.

Father Min was stunned by what Lu Miao said.

How could Father Min not know about his own daughter?
Although Min's father was not clear about the general situation, he had to give face to the Buddha no matter what.

It's fine if it happens once, but if it happens again a second time, Lu Miao doesn't have to be so intolerant of their child.

Father Min's posture remained unchanged, but his tone had to soften again:
"Qiaoqiao is still young after all, and it's normal for her to be impetuous for a while. Young people should always be given some time and opportunities to learn and make mistakes."

"Comrade Min has graduated from school for two years. I've seen her information before. She must be around 24 or 25 now. Is she still young?"

Lu Miao looked directly at Father Min and said calmly:

"At this age, if you don't teach her some things, there will naturally be others in society who will teach her."

Father Min frowned even deeper.

Although he knew that what Lu Miao said made sense, Min's father had already tried to plead for mercy in a tactful way, but Lu Miao still showed no mercy.

This made Father Min, who had been proud for most of his life, feel a little embarrassed. After a short silence, Father Min stared at Lu Miao, and his words gradually became less polite:

"With a background like ours, how many of us haven't protected our family members and children? Comrade Xiao Lu, do you dare to say that you didn't use your father's connections to get to this position?"

Lu Miao smiled calmly, and the aura that emanated from him could be summed up in two words: confidence!

"No, really. To be honest, before I returned to the city and entered university, Director Ma of Chongwen Translation Institute had already spotted me."

If the recommendation letter had not been stolen, she might have been admitted to the British Society earlier than now.

As for family background?

Other people’s family background may be icing on the cake, but hasn’t her family brought enough doubts on her career path?

Judging from her current position, she really didn't rely on her father for anything.

"you……!"

People are more mad than people.

In particular, Lu Miao's calmness, composure and excellence are in extreme contrast to Min Qiaoqiao.

Father Min saw it all and was somewhat angry, but he was also disappointed in his own son.

The breath in my chest became more and more intense, as if it was about to burst out.

Father Min simply stopped being patient.

After all, the struggle of opinions is fake, and the struggle for power is real.

Especially since Father Min had actually known about Lu Miao's situation before coming.

Although Lu Miao served as deputy minister, he was actually still at the level of director, far below his current position and posed no threat to him.

If there is a conflict, naturally only Lu Miao will be afraid of him.

"Don't say too much, don't do too much, young people, don't be too impetuous! If you act too forcefully, you will get nothing good!"

Lu Miao raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, neither humble nor arrogant, always remaining calm:
"I don't quite understand what you're saying. Didn't uncle just say that young people are full of energy? If they don't have that much energy, are they still young people?"

Father Min choked and slammed the table.

Lu Miao didn't care.

A melon on a vine, what is Min Qiaoqiao like? Is there any need for anyone to guess what Min's father's temper is?

Lu Miao was not at all surprised at his anger and humiliation.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have sat down and talked to him for so long without even calling him "uncle" or "uncle".

The other person came here just to cause trouble, why should she be so polite?
There is a very important rule in dealing with people: tolerance when you are strong is a virtue, but tolerance when you are weak is cowardice.

But in fact, tolerance and humility are not important.

The most important thing is to be ambitious and take on responsibilities.

Lu Miao lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, then said calmly:

"Young people have their own paths to follow. Whether or not you can please them is not something you should worry about, especially for an outsider like me."

"No wonder people say you are so eloquent, you are really quick-witted and have a powerful mouth!"

Father Min looked unhappy.

Just thinking of something, he narrowed his eyes as if smiling, and slowly looked past Lu Miao towards the study, and said meaningfully:

"But you don't have to be so sharp-tongued about this matter. As a parent, the thing you can't let go of the most is your children. You also have children, and you still have a long time to live. When you stand in my position one day, who knows if you can still be as calm as you are now?"

Lu Miao paused for a moment while drinking tea, and raised his eyelashes to look at Father Min, his eyes suddenly becoming cold and sharp. (End of this chapter)
