Chapter 625: Blood Clan Loyal Butler vs. Godly Lady 54
Lu Zhiyao glanced at the screen, his hands still in his pockets, and did not reach out to take it:
"Let Hill answer it."
Quan Jiu was enjoying his melon when he was suddenly called out. He raised his finger and pointed at his nose, lowering his voice and asking in confusion:
"No, your mother called you, what does it have to do with me..."
When Chen Peisi heard that it was Lu's mother calling, he was delighted.
The Chen family and the Lu family have been old friends since the beginning. Before Lu's father passed the company to Lu Zewen, Chen's father and Lu's father were business partners and had frequent interactions.
However, after Lu Zewen took over the company, he expanded its scale more than a hundred times. The gap between the Lu and Chen families became increasingly larger, and their relationship gradually became distant.
Chen Peisi remembered that when she was two or three years old, she loved to run to Lu's house. Lu's mother was a majestic woman, but only when she saw her would she raise her hand to touch her head and sigh.
"Little Cotton Jacket is so well-behaved and worry-free. It would be so great if I had a daughter."
From then on, Chen Peisi would visit the Lu family from time to time. Lu's mother was very polite and would let the servants play with her for the whole day and buy her the latest version of dolls.
This situation continued until she was 14 years old. Lu's father and mother stepped back, handed the company to Lu Zewen, and chose to immigrate to Country M.
"Aunt Lu."
Chen Peisi spoke as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
She has offended Lu Zhiyao today, and the only person who can help her get back on her feet is Lu's mother. A son must always listen to his mother. As long as Lu's mother protects her, she will not be afraid even if Lu Zhiyao hates her.
When Mother Lu heard the voice of "Auntie Lu," she was stunned for a moment. Thanks to her good memory, she hesitated and said, "Is it Pei Si?"
It must be said that Chen Peisi is very good at pleasing the elders, and she spoke slowly and softly:
"Aunt Lu, it's me. I'm accompanying Brother Zewen to the Lu family's celebration banquet today... I haven't had the chance to visit you since I returned to China. You and Uncle Lu must take care of your health. My father has been talking about you guys a lot lately. When I have the chance, I will take him to visit you in Country M..."
The girl's voice was gentle and pleasant, like soft marshmallows, and she spoke softly, each word revealing her sincere concern.
"You're a thoughtful kid."
When Lu's mother was young, she was a powerful woman who could make things happen. She was used to doing things impartially and had a cold voice, which always gave people a strong sense of oppression. After listening to Chen Peisi's words, her voice became noticeably softer.
"It's true that your father and I haven't seen each other for seven or eight years. Next time I come back, we can have a good reunion."
This is what Chen Peisi wanted, and she breathed a sigh of relief:
"Aunt Lu, I will tell Dad what you said. He will definitely be very happy to hear it."
Mother Lu said "hmm" lightly.
Chen Peisi didn't say anything more and tactfully returned the phone to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao directly stuffed the phone into Quan Jiu's hand.
Quan Jiu: “…”
Of course she knew what Chen Peisi was planning. He was just trying to show off to her and the others present. If she were a competitive woman, she would probably pick up the phone and use her relationship with Lu Zhiyao to establish a relationship with Lu's mother, thus outmaneuvering Chen Peisi.
Quan Jiu shook his head: "You should answer it."
Maybe Lu's mother wanted to discuss something with Lu Zhiyao, but she, an outsider, stood between the mother and son and became the tactless and evil person.
If Lu's mother was a petty person, she might be dissatisfied with her because of this matter.
Lu Zhiyao's expression was calm. He placed his large palm on the back of Quan Jiu's hand, stopping her from returning the phone. He gave her a reassuring look and spoke softly:
"It's okay. Believe me, mother would prefer it to be you who answers the phone."
Lu Zewen absolutely agreed with this point and nodded as he stood aside.
Quan Jiu was in a dilemma. The phone showing "Calling" became a hot potato. She stared at the screen, not knowing how to start.
"Zewen, did I hear correctly...Zhiyao asked a woman to answer the phone?"
Before Quan Jiu could say anything, Lu's mother spoke first.
Lu Zewen looked like he was enjoying a good show: "Yeah, you heard it right."
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu's mother's cold and beautiful face:
"...Little girl, are you Zhiyao's...friend?"
Lu's mother asked in a rather tactful way, and her tone lacked emotion.
Quan Jiu spoke calmly, neither humble nor arrogant:
“…I guess so.”
Strictly speaking, she is Lu Zhiyao's employer.
When Chen Peisi heard her indifferent tone, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. Which elder doesn't like a gentle and polite daughter-in-law?
People like Quan Jiu who lack vision are definitely the type of daughter-in-law that mothers-in-law hate the most.
When Mother Lu heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly and her voice became much lower:
"Well?"
A legend in the business world, he was still difficult to deal with even when he was old. From the simple two-word rhetorical question, Quan Jiu could sense the solemn and oppressive feeling of an army at the gates.
Quan Jiu's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly:
"To be precise, your son and I signed a labor contract, so during this legally protected period, I am his nominal employer."
Lu Zewen raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
Very brave.
He grew up as the successor with his parents. In his impression, Father Chen did not dare to speak to his mother in that tone. He seemed polite, but in fact he was humble and flattering everywhere.
When a normal parent hears their son has signed an indenture, they'll undoubtedly be concerned about what the indenture is, what the terms are, whether it will affect their son's career, and how to terminate the contract.
But unfortunately, Lu's mother...
"How much is the contract?"
Quan Jiu held up his phone in one hand and thought carefully: "Three hundred thousand."
It seems to be a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, plus a year-end bonus of 60,000 yuan.
Mother Lu’s tone was unclear: “Three hundred thousand…he really dared to sign it.”
He gave up HG Company, which has a market value of hundreds of billions in the United States, and went to China to apply for a job with an annual salary of 300,000.
With an annual salary of 300,000, she could take an apple and throw it randomly at HG Company, and anyone she hit would have an annual salary of more than 800,000.
In order not to appear like a black-hearted boss, Quan Jiu said seriously:
"He has no experience as a housekeeper. This price is considered acceptable in the country."
Mother Lu nodded: "Yes, it is indeed possible."
He refused to be the CEO and chose to be a housekeeper. No one knows a son better than his mother. She now knows exactly what her son is thinking.
"Did he cause you any trouble?" Lu's mother suddenly changed her tone.
Quan Jiu thought about it seriously: "...It seems not. Butler Lu is quite responsible, has strong action skills, and cooks delicious food."
Chen Peisi stared at her with horror.
She actually let the eldest young master of the Lu family cook for her? !
It would be fine if they did it secretly, but the key is that they did it openly in front of the other person's mother.
Mother Lu said calmly, "From your tone, you seem quite satisfied with him."
Quan Jiu thought about it and nodded: "Yeah."
