"Mom, why hasn't Su Yun come to our house recently? It seems like she hasn't been here for a long time."
While eating, Chen Jin counted on his fingers and realized that Su Yun had not come to his house for more than half a month.
Yesterday, Mom had explained that Su Yun had almost finished learning accounting knowledge and would not come often in the future.
Chen Jin gave an "oh", but he did not know why. His heart felt empty, as if something was missing.
So, he could not help but ask again.
"What's wrong? You've almost finished learning everything you need to learn. Do you still want Su Yun to stay at our house every day?"
He Li rolled her eyes at her blockhead son. Su Yun had not been here for almost a month, and he was only starting to talk about it. Wasn't his reflex arc too slow?
This even made her a little disheartened. Such a good girl was right in front of him, but this silly boy was actually indifferent. Was his taste too high, or was his mother's taste too poor?
But today, this boy's reaction finally gave her some confidence. She nodded to herself. It's impossible for there to be no effect after such a long period of time!
It's impossible for this boy to be completely indifferent.
As for why Su Yun did not come during this period of time, how could He Li, who was equally sensitive, not know the reason?
Inferiority complex.
The inferiority complex that she could no longer bear made her unable to muster up the courage to come again.
Her son was too outstanding. Fortune Magazine estimated his personal net worth to be more than $18 billion. It was predicted that it would exceed $80 billion within two years, making him one of the top 10 richest people in the country. The speed at which his wealth was expanding was beyond imagination.
Of the two products made by his son, one brought convenience to thousands of households; the other changed the entire Z country and had far-reaching significance for the future of the country … It could be said that both products were worthy of applause and praise. They brought positive and beautiful things to the people and were worthy of respect.
With such an outstanding son, not to mention Su Yun, even He Li herself felt a little inferior. She often muttered to herself, "Is he really my son?
Why does it feel like a dream? "
He Li completely understood that Su Yun did not have the courage to come again.
He Hi even realized that the Su Yun at work had become quieter than before. She didn't like to talk much anymore, always had her head lowered, and her gaze was evasive. The relationship between the two of them had also become a little cold and distant. There was an invisible sense of distance between them.
He Hi knew the reason for all of this and expressed her complete understanding.
It wasn't until recently that He Hi noticed the smile on her female subordinate's face that He Hi called her to her office for a heart-to-heart talk. She asked if she had encountered any happy events recently.
Su Yun didn't hide anything. She explained, "My parents and siblings will be coming to Shang Hai to visit me. It's been so many years, and this is their first time visiting such a big city. I want to show them around." She smiled.
"Alright, it's rare for them to come here. You should bring them around. How about this, the director will grant you two days of leave. You can put aside your work for a while. Shang Hai is so big, take more time to accompany your parents to visit a few more places," He Li said.
"Thank you so much, Director!"
Su Yun was overjoyed. Actually, the only time she could spare was the weekends and two days. With the help of the director, her schedule was much easier to arrange.
"Silly child, why are you being so polite with me?"
He Li laughed. The more she looked at this filial and sensible child, the more satisfied she was. Why did her silly boy have no taste at all?
…
At the dinner table, he heard his son ask about Su Yun's situation.
He Li's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly had an idea.
She said, "Son, Su Yun's parents and siblings will be coming to Shang Hai to visit her. They'll also be here for a tour. However, Su Yun didn't buy a car. Her parents also took the high-speed rail from thousands of kilometers away. It's not convenient for them to travel here.
"Moreover, it's such a big family. We need to make arrangements for meals and accommodation. We also need a tour guide to show them around. It's very inconvenient without a car.
"Su Yun's family will be here tomorrow. How about this, son? You drive your Benz to the high-speed rail station to pick them up. Treat her parents to a meal and make arrangements for their accommodation. Then, bring them around for a few days. Be a good host."
He Li looked at him and said, "Son, Su Yun has at least helped your Mom cook twice and wash the dishes a few times. You can help with such a small matter, right?"
Pfft!
His father, Chen Gang, suddenly coughed and almost choked on his food. He looked at his wife in surprise. Your son is now worth tens of billions. He's considered a deadly public figure and a big shot in the technology industry. You want him to pick up a few ordinary people?
Of course, he did not say this out loud. He only said it in his heart. Moreover, he felt that with his son's personality, he would not go.
However, he immediately heard a voice that surprised him.
"Sure, Mom. I'll drive over to pick them up tomorrow."
Chen Jin agreed. Recently, he was not busy. He stayed at home almost every day. He had a lot of free time. It was good to find something to do and go out for some fresh air.
Recently, Yuan Li often invited him out to play. She always sent him some revealing photos of herself trying on clothes and asked if he liked them. She said that she would only wear them for him to see. Moreover, there were more "that" ones. She asked if he wanted to know more about them.
However, Chen Jin said that he was not free for the time being.
He readily agreed to his Mom's request.
"Good, good. Son, you've done me a big favor."
He Li was very satisfied. Her face was full of smiles.
…
July 18th, Friday.
4: 30 in the afternoon.
There was still half an hour before the end of work. Su Yun, who was sitting in her seat, was somewhat absent-minded.
She had long completed her work tasks ahead of time. Now, she was anxiously waiting to clock out.
However, she did not dare to leave work early. She was afraid that she would leave a bad impression on her colleagues and leaders. She was also afraid that people would gossip behind her back.
She could only look at the time on her phone. Seconds and minutes passed. It felt extremely long.
She hoped to get off work early. After 5: 00, the traffic in Shang Hai City would start to get congested. After she went to the high-speed rail station to pick up her family and returned to the city, she might not be able to return to the dormitory before 8: 00 even if she took a taxi. She arranged for her parents and younger siblings to stay in the dormitory for the time being.
5: 00 sharp!
She turned off her computer and quickly walked downstairs. She did not even return to the dormitory to change out of her work clothes. She planned to directly take a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
Downstairs of the tax building.
She was the first to walk out. She held her phone in her hand, ready to call a taxi.
Just as she walked to the side of the road, she heard a voice. "Su Yun!"
She turned her head and was immediately stunned. Him? Why was he here?
Chen Jin sized up Su Yun in front of him. She was wearing a navy blue suit, a blue shirt, a red tie, and a curly brimmed hat with a badge in the middle of the hat. There were also epaulets, shoulder badges, collar flowers, chest badges, buttons, and other decorations on her uniform. She looked like a standard tax officer.
Her hair was tied in a single ponytail. She looked very capable and experienced, which made people's eyes light up.
Chen Jin said, "Get in my car. I'll take you to pick up your parents."
Su Yun took two steps back. She tried her best to suppress the shock in her heart. She lowered her head and said, "No … it's okay. You're busy. I'll take a taxi myself."
"My mom asked me to come over and help. Don't dilly-dally. Get in the car!"
Chen Jin walked over in two steps and held her hand. With his other hand, he opened the car door and pulled her in.
After reminding her to fasten her seatbelt, Chen Jin started the car.
Su Yun, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, almost buried her head in her chest. Her face was as red as blood.
Looking at the Mercedes-Benz driving off into the distance, Li Xiao Lan, Su Yun's work partner, who lived in the same dormitory as Su Yun, opened her mouth wide. "Since when did Su Yun get a boyfriend?"
Inside the tax building.
