Chapter 42: Maybe I’ve read too many domineering CEO novels!
Xu Shaoyu lowered his eyes, making it impossible to tell his emotions. His voice was as cold as ever, yet it concealed an imperceptible frustration.
"Liu Bo, have I been bad to her in the past two years?"
Special Assistant Liu laughed dryly, "Of course you're very nice to Secretary Yan! In all these years, I've never seen you be so patient with any woman!"
"Then why does she have so little confidence in our future?"
"Well..." Assistant Liu thought carefully before continuing, "Maybe the gap between you two is too big!"
Xu Shaoyu scoffed, "Gap? There is indeed a gap!"
There was a flash of surprise in Special Assistant Liu's eyes. Why hadn't he realized before that Mr. Xu was such a narrow-minded person?
Before he finished complaining, he heard Xu Shaoyu continue:
"Her abilities are so much better than those young ladies from wealthy families who have received elite education since childhood!"
"That's true! You don't even know how many big companies in North City have been inquiring about Secretary Yan's whereabouts and trying to poach her."
Liu Tezhu couldn't help nodding, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
【It turns out that I’m the most narrow-minded person! 】
Hearing that many companies wanted to poach Yan Ruo, a hint of coldness flashed across Xu Shaoyu's expressionless face.
"In the entire North City, which company is better than Xu's?"
Special Assistant Liu nodded repeatedly, "Of course not! Since you took office, Xu's has been second to none in terms of scale, expansion speed, and employee treatment!"
Seeing him start to talk endlessly about how great the Xu Group and his boss were. Xu Shaoyu's mouth twitched slightly, and when he thought of Yan Ruo, his expression instantly softened.
"Except for Xu's, she doesn't like other companies! She would rather go home and farm than work for those companies!"
Seeing how confident he was, Special Assistant Liu only hoped that Yan Ruo’s ability to understand was better than his.
When Yan Ruo returned home on her electric scooter, her mother had already prepared a table full of dishes.
She was a little surprised, "Mom! Are there any guests at home? Why are there so many dishes?"
Yan's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Your colleague came all the way to see you, shouldn't you treat him to a meal?"
"Colleague! Who is it?"
"A rather handsome man came to see you this morning! I think his last name was Xu? He knew you weren't at home, so he drove to town to look for you. Didn't you meet him?"
"You mean him?" Yan Ruo chuckled guiltily, "He's already gone back!"
"What! Going back?" Yan's mother looked at her suspiciously with a spatula in her hand.
"It's already this late, and you don't even want to invite me to have lunch before leaving? You kid, you're already such a grown-up, and you don't understand this!"
Facing her mother's nagging, Yan Ruoke didn't dare to say anything more, lest it would lead to more nagging.
Just at this moment, Yan's father walked in with a bag of beer and drinks.
"What are you talking about?"
Yan's mother glared at Yan Ruo angrily.
"Your daughter, it's time for dinner, and she actually had the nerve to let her colleague go home empty-bellied! If someone didn't know, they'd think our family was so stingy that we couldn't even bear to treat someone to a meal!"
"I worked all day and cooked a table full of dishes! All for nothing!"
Yan's father glanced at Yan Ruo, who was curled up on the sofa playing with her phone, pointed at her, and then said in a smooth talk:
"Maybe they have something urgent to do? If they want to leave, then they can leave! It's the same for us to eat on our own! It would be a waste of time!"
"Look, I bought so many drinks and beers!"
Yan's mother brought the last dish to the table, and when she saw that Yan's father bought so much beer, she immediately shifted her focus.
"I asked you to buy some drinks to entertain the guests, but you took the opportunity to buy so much alcohol? Why haven't you been so active when doing other things?"
Yan Ruo obediently took the bowl to serve the rice, and occasionally agreed with a sentence,
"Drinking is bad for your health!" "Drink less!" and so on.
This caused a lot of dissatisfaction in Yan's father, but unfortunately, under the watchful eyes of Yan's mother, he didn't dare to say anything in rebuttal.
Yan Ruo, who had escaped the disaster, quickly lowered his head and ate his meal!
In the afternoon, I processed the video I had taken earlier of Yan's parents taking care of the orchard and sent it out.
This is a preparation for selling the fruit in a few months.
Because the video of going up the mountain to pick bamboo shoots and drying them went viral. In addition, many netizens who bought dried bamboo shoots gave positive reviews and recommendations after receiving them.
Yan Ruo’s account already has over 100,000 followers, which isn’t a lot, but it’s a very good start.
She plans to film every aspect of orchard care, including every stage of fruit tree flowering and fruiting, and post them online.
After all, people are always more receptive and at ease with things that they have participated in and witnessed throughout the process.
When I was chatting with Chi Yu in the evening, I specifically told her about this plan.
Chi Yu, [You don't really plan to stay at home and farm in the future, do you?]
Yan Ruo, [Yes! When the fruits and vegetables I planted have a good harvest, I'll send you some to try!]
In fact, she was still unsure, she just wanted to give it a try. However, when they chatted, they mainly talked nonsense and said whatever made them happy.
Sure enough, Chi Yu replied immediately.
"Just trying it? You've given up a high salary to farm at home. It would be unreasonable for you not to buy all the rice and vegetables I eat from now on!"
Yan Ruo casually replied: [Of course! Just wait patiently!]
The two chatted about the house decoration for a while, but Chi Yu still suggested that she go and take a look halfway.
[The design and the finished product are different. Come take a look early. If you are not satisfied, you can make changes. It will be too late to make changes after everything is installed!]
Yan Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll come to Nancheng next week!"
Chi Yu, [It depends on your time! However, Xu Shaoyu seems to have come to South City.]
Yan Ruo, [I know, he came to see me this morning!]
Chi Yu was shocked. [Because you left without saying goodbye and broke up unilaterally! Did he go looking for trouble with you? Will he take you back?]
Yan Ruo, [……]
[You should read less novels! We live in a society ruled by law now!]
Chi Yu had something to say, "Then why did you leave a breakup letter and leave without saying goodbye? What was that all about?"
Yan Ruo, [He's a domineering boss, and he broke up with me. Am I not afraid that he will be so angry that he will legally cause trouble for me?]
It turns out that she was just being mean-spirited! Maybe she's just read too many domineering CEO novels.
Chi Yu, [So why did he come to find you?]
Yan Ruo, [He said that the online news about him and Yun Zhinian getting engaged was all fake! I misunderstood!]
Chi Yu, [So, your reason for breaking up this time doesn't exist! And Xu's investment in South City is also for you?]
Yan Ruo rolled her eyes. [How is that possible! There are only two reasons why Xu Shaoyu could invest. Either the project has a bright future? Or the money is good!]
Chi Yu gave a thumbs up, "So do you want to get back together with him?"
Yan Ruo shook her head, "No! Let's just leave it at that! This marriage with the Yun family is fake, who knows if the next marriage with the Yu family will be real?"
Chi Yu expressed his understanding!
The two chatted about some random things before ending the call.
Because the video became popular and the dried bamboo shoots sold well, a few days ago, an agricultural product company in Nancheng contacted Yan Ruo, wanting to cooperate with her to develop and sell agricultural products.
So this time when she went to South City, she decided to stay for two more days.
Not only do we have to visit that agricultural product company, but we also have to visit and learn from several companies that specialize in selling products through videos.
Unexpectedly, the original five-day trip was stretched to ten days!
