After eating and drinking his fill and having a good night's sleep, Erwa got up, washed up, and headed straight to his girlfriend's shop.
Yu Xiang has now hired a diligent housekeeper, so she no longer needs to worry about everything and work so hard.
However, Erwa didn't stay idle at the shop; he went wherever there was work to be done.
He also told his girlfriend about the things that happened at the party as if they were just casual conversation.
Yu Xiang was much more worldly-wise than the straightforward Erwa, and she could tell the problem as soon as she heard it.
She gave Erwa a strange look. Luckily, it was her own company, so even if she was bullied, she wouldn't suffer too much. Otherwise, with her own son, sigh.
She doesn't know whether to praise her boyfriend for being carefree or to sympathize with those who are unaware of the situation.
As for some things, Yu Xiang didn't expose them. Her boyfriend's straightforward and simple-minded nature was exactly what she liked about him.
Oh well, sometimes fools are just lucky.
After a delightful weekend, Erwa happily went to work on a weekday.
That's right, what happened at the party that day didn't affect him at all.
Whenever he enters the office again, his colleagues look at him differently.
Liu Yong is the worst. He used to make things difficult for Erwa and make him do things for him. Now, he probably thinks Erwa won't stay long, so he's just being sarcastic and doesn't even bother to ask him to run errands.
Only Zhang Ze, when Erwa shared some delicious food with him again, thought of their conversation that night and casually asked a question.
"You said our company belongs to your mother the other day, were you kidding me?"
"No, this is my mom's company," Erwa said seriously. "By the way, it's a secret. I'm only telling you this because you're my friend." Erwa winked after saying that.
Is this the truth or a joke?
When Zhang Ze went to talk to Erwa, Liu Yong deliberately walked nearby, pretending to look for something, but he kept listening attentively.
Then he heard a conversation that made him both laugh and cry.
"It's absolutely hilarious! Do you all know what I heard? Our Comrade Li Yanxun shamelessly claimed that our company belongs to his family. He's really blowing his own horn."
The other people in the office looked over in disbelief.
“I’m not bragging,” Erwa said seriously.
He simply didn't want to hide the existence of Zhang Ze, whom he considered a friend, but Liu Yong overheard him.
But now that he's already said it, he won't lie or deny it.
"Heh, you're probably just jealous of Yu Biao and trying to make yourself look good, aren't you? If you're going to make something up, at least make it believable. Just say the company is yours."
Not to mention Liu Yong, even Zhang Ze couldn't believe it now. He just thought that Erwa was just joking with him, but Liu Yong overheard him and said it out loud. He still felt that Liu Yong had gone too far.
"What's going on? Why is everyone making such a fuss? Why isn't anyone working?"
Their section chief came out of the office.
Liu Yong, however, seemed to enjoy the spectacle and continued to fan the flames.
"Section Chief, our Comrade Li Yanxun said that our company belongs to his family."
The section chief frowned and looked at Erwa. "Comrade Li Yanxun, I know you're a top student, and Manager Wang might remember you, but you can't just say things like that." Because of the gathering, he already had a somewhat negative impression of Erwa.
“I’m not making this up, my mom is Lanxin’s boss.” Erwa frowned.
"A high-achieving student? What high-achieving student?" Liu Yong asked, puzzled.
Zhang Ze wanted to speak up for Erwa, so he quickly said the name of Erwa's school.
Seeing that the section chief didn't refute it, everyone knew it was true. Although they knew that Erwa was a graduate of a prestigious university, they still didn't believe Erwa's words.
Instead, they felt that Erwa was arrogant because he graduated from a prestigious university, and that he didn't give Yu Biao any face at the party.
"Li Yanxun, focus on your work and stop thinking about all that nonsense. And you guys, aren't you going to work?" The section chief finished his reprimand and went inside.
Liu Yong chuckled. "Some people just daydream all the time."
Erwa was a little angry, but he held back his rebuttal because he was at work.
In an attempt to curry favor with Yu Biao, Liu Yong eagerly ran over to tell Yu Biao "jokes" about Erwa during lunch.
The company has a cafeteria, and Liu Yong spoke quite loudly, so everyone sitting nearby could hear him.
Zhang Ze was under a lot of pressure to sit down with Erwa.
"Li Yanxun, I know your family is well-off, but you shouldn't joke like that. Now everyone has misunderstood. Sigh, it's my fault too, why did I ask you?"
Erwa looked helpless. "What I said is true, my mom really is Lanxin's boss."
Before Zhang Ze could say anything, Yu Biao arrived with Liu Yong and the onlookers.
"I heard you said the company belongs to your family?" Yu Biao asked with amusement.
People in the cafeteria all looked over to see what was going on.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Erwa said expressionlessly.
Yu Biao and the people around him burst into laughter.
"Come on, show us some proof that you're our little boss," Yu Biao egged them on.
"My mom's the boss, I know that, why should I prove it to you? It's pointless." Erwa ignored him and continued eating.
In Yu Biao's and others' eyes, it was just that Erwa was guilty and couldn't produce any evidence, so he stubbornly refused to admit it.
"If your mother were our company's boss, I'd swallow my rice bowl," Yu Biao laughed.
Erwa stopped eating. "Eating from a bowl isn't good; you might cut your stomach."
"Hahaha, so you admit you were bragging."
"I didn't." Erwa frowned. He just wanted to have a nice meal. Why was this person so annoying?
"Forget it, forget it, why bother arguing with him? He insists on imagining himself as a small business owner. Who can wake him up?" someone advised Yu Biao.
But Yu Biao was still thinking about how Erwa hadn't given him face at the gathering, so he wasn't willing to leave.
Zhang Ze wanted to explain that Erwa was just joking with him, but seeing how serious Erwa was, he suddenly wondered if Erwa was really a small business owner.
After Wang Jianshe and Section Chief Yu finished discussing the company's accounts, they realized it was lunchtime. As soon as they entered the cafeteria, they saw a large crowd gathered in one corner.
Erwa was sitting and was blocked by Yu Biao and others, so they couldn't see him clearly for a while. Wang Jianshe frowned and asked the employee next to him.
"What happened?"
The employee was startled to see that it was the manager, but quickly replied, "A new employee was bragging that our company belongs to his family. Brother Yu, Yu Biao wants him to admit his mistake."
Upon hearing that his nephew would also receive a share, Section Chief Yu frowned.
His nephew had quit his job and stayed at home for quite a while. His older brother and sister-in-law pleaded for him, and his parents also asked for his help. He had no choice but to get his nephew a job at the company.
He knew his nephew had a tendency to be ambitious and concerned about his image, and he told his nephew to work diligently at the company, so why was he already joining in the fun as soon as he arrived?
He's been so busy with the accounts these past few days that he's forgotten to ask about his nephew's job.
Upon hearing the employee's words, Wang Jianshe's eyelids twitched. He quickly pushed through the crowd and went inside, praying in his heart that it wasn't that person.
