Twenty minutes later, Tong Qiang and Lan Weiwei entered the house. Tong Qiang, always straightforward, immediately said, "Airui, I want to retire, but Midnight and Tingting won't let me. I'm at my wit's end, so I came to ask for your help."
Tong Airui furrowed his brow slightly. "With Sister Tingting, I can speak to her, but for Uncle Leng, my dad has to talk to him."
"You're more influential than your dad now. As long as you speak, they'll definitely let me go."
"What reason are they giving for not letting you go?"
"They say that Tingting and Yangyang are young and want me and Mu Jianchen to guide them for a few more years. Tingting and Yangyang don't need guidance at all; they can completely handle things on their own."
Tong Airui pondered for a moment and then laughed, "Uncle, I understand Uncle Leng's reasoning. If he retires and both you and Uncle Mu retire together, it might panic the public."
Tong Qiang pursued, "So, when do you think he'll let me leave?"
