Chapter 142 Do you want to be a crab?
When she met an acquaintance, Yan Ruo felt a little embarrassed and wanted to withdraw her hand from Xu Shaoyu's palm.
But it was held tightly, and it took a long time to pull it out. In the end, she could only glare at him helplessly, and then greeted Yan Ping's family with a bit of a blush.
"Uncle Ama, Aunt Wang, you two should come out for a walk too."
Aunt Wang looked Xu Shaoyu up and down, and when her eyes slid across their clasped hands, the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Yan Ruo is out for a walk too. Is this your boyfriend?"
Yan Ruo looked up at Xu Shaoyu and nodded, "Yes, my boyfriend."
Xu Shaoyu actually couldn't fully understand what they were saying, but by looking at the expressions of both parties, he guessed that Yan Ruo was introducing herself to others.
Thinking that this was the first time Yan Ruo introduced her identity to outsiders, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and nodded to Aunt Wang and her husband with a smile.
President Xu, who is usually aloof, was rarely so warm and polite, but he didn't expect to be completely ignored.
Aunt Wang looked at Yan Ruo, "Where is your boyfriend from? What does he do? Has he bought a house or a car?"
Such a probing question made Yan Ruo's mouth twitch uncontrollably, and he paused for two seconds before answering.
"He's from North City, a former colleague. The RV and everything...it's more than enough for him to live in."
"Beicheng." Aunt Wang looked at Yan Ping, who was walking and playing games at the back, and glared at him with some disapproval. Unfortunately, Yan Ping didn't even look at her.
Aunt Wang said, "Everyone used to flock to the city, but now it's no longer possible. Our countryside is still the best place. City people are not as popular anymore."
"Not only is the cost of living high, but I've heard that many locals in cities look down on us outsiders. The key is that our living habits are also different."
As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked Yan Ruo, "How much do you know about their family situation?"
Yan Ruo said perfunctorily, "I probably know."
Aunt Wang patted her arm and said, "You're from another place, you don't know the roots or the background. You must learn more about it before you can feel at ease."
"I joked with your mom before, why don't our two families become in-laws? We're from the same village, so we know each other well. My son Yanping was also raised by your parents."
"Don't think that my Yanping doesn't like to talk, but in fact, the house and car are all ready."
Yan Ruo glanced at Yan Ping who was concentrating on playing games, and thought that it was because she knew him so well that her parents would be even less likely to agree.
Just as they reached a fork in the road, Yan Ruo quickly pulled Xu Shaoyu to change direction.
"Auntie Wang, let's go back this way and leave first."
After walking for quite a distance, I heard Xu Shaoyu snort coldly, "Escape in despair."
Yan Ruo rolled her eyes and said, "Don't make sarcastic remarks. If you meet an auntie like this, you might not even have a chance to escape."
Xu Shaoyu stopped and pulled Yan Ruo in front of him with his arms. "Was that person saying something bad about me just now?"
Yan Ruo laughed and said vaguely, "You don't understand, so don't guess blindly."
Seeing Xu Shaoyu's dark eyes narrowed slightly, with a look of complete disbelief, he quickly spoke.
"We live in the village like this. We were all raised under the care of these elders. Sometimes they might say a few more words, but don't take it to heart. I'm on your side."
The festive atmosphere in the countryside is very strong, and people can spend most of the day busy preparing a festive meal.
But the villagers celebrate the festival simply by having a big meal together as a family, and the rest of the time is no different from usual.
The biggest difference now is that we look forward to our children coming home during the holidays, and our home is a little more lively than usual.
Xu Shaoyu is very busy at work. Any work that he didn't finish during the day has to be finished by working overtime until midnight.
The next day after breakfast, Yan Ruo said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I have to go to South City today. I might stay there for a week or so before coming back."
Yan's mother glanced at Xu Shaoyu, "Because of him?"
Yan Ruo quickly shook her head, "No, several of our regular customers are in South City right now, so I have to go take a look and walk around."
"Just arrange your own affairs. Just take care of yourself when you are away from home."
After that, he went to pack a large bag of things for them, "Take these over later, eat them yourself, or give them to friends."
Yan's father walked in with his phone, "It's just right, Chen Che is going home for the holidays, you guys can pick him up later."
Yan Ruo asked, "Send him to the station?"
Yan's father said, "No, I heard that he was temporarily transferred to the South City branch, so it's just right that he can go to South City with you."
"Okay." Yan Ruo said as she glanced at Xu Shaoyu, hoping that Chen Che wouldn't be scared.
Half an hour later, Chen Che hugged the backpack tightly in his arms, glanced at Xu Shaoyu with a guilty look on his face, and asked Yan Ruo.
"Aunt, what's going on with you guys now?"
Yan Ruo's aunt waved to her outside the car, then closed the car window and spoke softly.
"As you can see, it's a relationship that can be brought home for Mid-Autumn Festival."
Chen Che instantly perked up, "Then am I considered a relative of the company, the kind that can act with impunity?"
Yan Ruo scoffed, "Do you want to be a crab?"
Chen Che muttered in dissatisfaction, "I just want to be a crab, so what? You don't know how arrogant this new person with connections is in our department."
"People with connections?" Yan Ruo glanced at Xu Shaoyu who was concentrating on driving. Although he didn't explicitly say that he wanted to completely prevent people with connections from entering the company.
But they deeply despise those who have no skills but occupy important positions with connections.
The technical department where Chen Che works is a very important core department of the company. Who is so bold as to put someone in the technical department?
"Were you bullied by someone with connections?"
Chen Che pouted, "If I hadn't clashed with him, I wouldn't have been sent from headquarters to the branch."
Yan Ruo turned around and gave him a suspicious look. "Didn't they say that because you're from Southern Province, the leaders specially transferred you to Southern City to take care of you?"
Chen Che looked embarrassed. "I just made it up to avoid worrying my family."
"Not bad, you all know to report good news and not bad news." Yan Ruo said with a half-smile, "Since that's the case, then let you experience the feeling of being a relative."
Chen Che scratched his head, and before he could react, he saw Yan Ruo looking seriously at the boss who was driving.
"Xu Shaoyu, why do your group's connections just bully others instead of doing their jobs?"
Xu Shaoyu glanced at Chen Che through the rearview mirror, "Chen Che was bullied?"
Yan Ruo nodded affirmatively, "Yes! Why do you think he suddenly came to South City? It's because he offended someone with connections and was exiled to the border."
Xu Shaoyu's eyes instantly turned cold, "Who is it?"
Chen Che was completely confused. Now he was so confident in complaining about others. Couldn't he be more tactful?
Yan Ruo turned around, took out an orange and threw it into his arms, "You were bullied by someone with connections, why don't you hurry up and complain?"
