"What's up, boss?"
Gu Xin asked over the phone.
Xu Xiu forgot what he was going to say and quickly said, "Have Yu Shu send me a job posting to hire a personal secretary who will be responsible for both work and personal matters."
Gu Xin was taken aback. There was silence on the phone for a long time before she finally spoke:
"Boss, how am I? Do I have any requests?"
"Forget about you and Yu Shu. Just focus on managing the company. Don't even think about being a secretary."
Now Gu Xin and Xu Xiu have a relationship like friends. Before, calling him "Old Xu" felt stiff, but now calling him "Boss" sounds warm and friendly.
"So, boss, do you have any special requirements for your secretary?"
"No, I'm very easy to talk to. My requirements aren't high. Just around 1.65 meters tall, weighing under 110 pounds, and... measurements, looks, etc..."
Gu Xin couldn't help but feel contempt for Xu Xiu's words.
"Boss, are you looking for a secretary or a mistress? I need to report this to the boss's wife."
"Haha, just kidding. My secretary only has one requirement: strong work ability and the ability to handle all kinds of emergencies."
"The most important thing is that the person has good character. It doesn't matter if they are male or female, but it would be best if they are male."
Gu Xin thought these words were normal.
What Xu Xiu didn't know was that Gu Xin had also posted all the requirements Xu Xiu had mentioned earlier in the job posting... and she completely ignored the boss's comment that it would be best if the candidate was male.
At this moment, Liu Qianxue, who had been paying close attention to Ruoxiu Technology, couldn't help but smile slightly after seeing the recruitment message pushed on the official account.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was exceptionally lively, as the in-laws came to celebrate the New Year together; almost the entire Xu and Fang families were present.
The Xu and Fang families are so famous in the county because of their harmonious family relationships, where everyone performs their duties and helps each other.
Therefore, both families have been doing very well, with members in various industries.
This is a virtuous cycle, and with the third generation led by Xu Xiu being so outstanding, the future of both families is bright.
As a result, many people in the county now want to establish kinship or marriage alliances with the Xu and Fang families.
Society has always been this realistic. During dinner, Xu Zhiyuan sat with Xiao Liang and, emboldened by alcohol, asked, "Old Xiao, when are you going to arrange the engagement for the two kids?"
Upon hearing Xu Zhiyuan's words, Xiao Ruoyan, who was not far away, lowered her head shyly.
Xiao Liang thought for a while and said, "Old Xu, let's arrange the engagement for the New Year next year. When Xiao Xu is old enough, we'll get the marriage certificate. We'll pick a good day for the wedding later, depending on what the children want."
Xu Zhiyuan also thought it was feasible, and turned to look at Fang Liao. His grandfather had no objections either.
Grandma and Grandma on the other side had no objections either. Since the elders had spoken, Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting had no chance to get a word in edgewise.
Zhang Aixiang nodded with a smile.
At this moment, Xu Xiu stood up and said, "I object!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xiu noticed that everyone was looking at him with cold eyes.
He quickly explained, "What I meant was, let's skip the engagement and just get married and register the marriage, hahaha..."
"I have received your feedback. You can raise your concerns, but whether I accept them or not is my decision."
Xu Zhiyuan's words were a bucket of cold water poured on Xu Xiu.
"Your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words don't count."
Fang Liao chimed in from the side.
Xu Xiu sat back down in his chair with a dark expression.
Xiao Ruoyan, standing to the side, stretched out her hand under the table and tightly held Xu Xiu's hand in hers. Although she could only hold half of it, Xu Xiu could already feel the overflowing love.
During the meal, Fang An and Xu Lin kept toasting Xu Xiu, wishing him to become the richest man in Jincheng soon and to have a son soon.
As a result, the eldest uncle and maternal uncle couldn't stand it anymore and pulled their son back to his seat.
Everyone present enthusiastically came over to give Xiao Ruoyan red envelopes, completely ignoring Xu Xiu standing to the side.
They even started competing with each other, seeing who could give the biggest red envelope. When Xu Xiu first saw someone giving out a red envelope, he felt it was too little and gave another one.
The problem is, does anyone care about him, the legitimate heir?
I'm still in college, unmarried, and unemployed... basically, I'm not an adult yet, so how can I not give a red envelope?
As soon as he stood up, Xu Zhiyuan said, "We've given your share to our granddaughter-in-law to keep."
He glanced at everyone present and found that they were all nodding.
"They're handing over their income so soon? Really?"
Xu Xiu thought to himself, feeling frustrated.
He could only console himself with the thought that money didn't matter, as long as his son was happy.
Since there were no red envelopes, she decided to eat more. Just as she was about to pick up a chicken leg, her mother's chopsticks stopped her. Fang Xueting picked up the chicken leg and walked to Xu Xiu's side.
With a look of utter despair on his face, he placed it into the simple-minded bowl.
Xu Xiu could only silently pick up the chicken's rear end and start eating.
People say it's better to be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken, but he's not even the head of a chicken, let alone the tail of a phoenix.
"I'm tired again, I just want the Earth to be destroyed already."
Xu Xiu felt incredibly wronged during this New Year's Eve dinner. After everyone finished eating and headed back to his maternal grandfather's house, he was left behind to settle the bill and check the drinks.
He's a CEO worth over 100 million yuan, don't these people have any self-awareness?
Back at his maternal grandfather's house, Xu Xiu was bossed around by the elders, and the light in his eyes had disappeared.
Because fireworks are not prohibited on the outer ring road of Shixian County, the two families drove a large truckload of fireworks to the suburbs at night.
They spent a lot of money hiring a professional fireworks team, and the family also has a fire brigade with equipment on standby at all times, as well as a garbage cleanup team.
Many people in the county heard the news, and the word spread quickly, with many people already coming here to watch the fireworks.
Traffic police had to come over to maintain order, and the fire department also dispatched a fire truck. When the county officials in charge of this matter arrived, they were quite surprised to see the various teams from the Xu and Fang families.
Unexpectedly, they have already prepared for safety, fire prevention, and sanitation themselves. They truly deserve to be called a large family in Shixian County.
Then someone shouted into the walkie-talkie, and the fireworks show "made its dazzling debut."
A deafening roar came from not far away, and the night sky was instantly illuminated as if it were daytime.
Xiao Ruoyan closed her eyes as she watched the fireworks, lost in thought. Xu Xiu covered his ears with his hands and looked at the sky beside her.
The fireworks show lasted for more than half an hour before it ended. Just as Xu Xiu was about to go back with Hanhan, Xu Zhiyuan came over and asked him to supervise the follow-up cleanup work.
At that moment, Xu Xiu had only one thought in his mind: "Secretary, where are you?"
Why call me out of all these people in the family?
It was almost midnight when we got home, and no one was asleep. If they could handle it, some of the elders would have liked to stay up all night. Everyone had a very happy New Year, except for Xu Xiu.
He walked up to Xu Zhiyuan and asked, "Grandpa, why do you make me do all the work when there are so many people in your family?"
Xu Zhiyuan looked up at him, took an orange from the side and handed it to him, "Grandpa is asking you, are you the most successful among your peers?"
Were you the first among your peers to get married?
Are you the most mature and composed among your peers?
