It was the morning of the Lantern Festival.
Su Yun went out and bought some fresh fruits from the mall. She bought a small box of Tieguanyin tea from the specialty shop. She spent less than $500.
"It's just a small gift. Mom and Dad also told me to build a good relationship with the leaders. It's not a problem!"
Su Yun thought to herself as she carried the gifts in her hands.
…
Court of Happiness, Block 12, Room 402.
She arrived at Dean He's house.
"Ding dong ~"
"Ding dong ~"
After pressing the doorbell twice, the door opened. A young man stood in front of her.
"It's you?"
Chen Jin was slightly stunned. He sized up the woman standing at the door. She was wearing a white knitted top and a woolen coat on the outside. Her slender legs were wrapped in thick black leggings. Her medium-length hair fell over her shoulders and she wore a yellow wool scarf. She was tall and slender. Her face was fair, delicate, and somewhat aloof.
"Hmm ~"
Su Yun lowered her head and hummed softly. She blushed and felt a little embarrassed. Her heartbeat quickened a little.
She had met the tall and handsome man in front of her once. He was Dean He's son. She had once agreed to Dean He's request and cooperated with her to go on a blind date with her son. They had put on a good show. In the end, Dean He's son, who was a drama queen, was completely defeated. She had been happy for a long time.
She felt that Dean He's family was really too interesting.
Dean He's young son had also refreshed Su Yun's impression of the children of government officials. She felt that the sons of some government officials were quite nice. They were polite, low-key, easy-going, easy to communicate with, and even a little funny … He had left a good impression on her.
However, after that fake blind date, the two of them had never met again. She had only occasionally heard Dean He talk about her son's situation.
She did not expect to meet him again today.
She did not know why, but Su Yun felt a little nervous.
"Come in. Uh, please change your shoes," Chen Jin greeted her.
He turned towards the kitchen and said, "Mom, someone is here to wish you a happy new year."
"Coming!"
He Li walked out of the kitchen with an apron tied around her waist. She saw Su Yun in the living room and greeted her. "Little Su, you're here?"
Looking at the things in her hands, He Li shook her head with a straight face. "Little Su, you can just come over. You don't have to give any gifts. We have to follow the rules of the organization."
"Director, it's just some common fruits and a small box of tea leaves. It doesn't exceed 500 yuan, so it's not against the rules … Director, you've helped me so much, how could I come here empty-handed?"
Su Yun explained.
"You, why are you being so polite with the director? What's wrong with coming empty-handed? This is called 'uncorrupted'. The director will be happy too. But since you've already bought it, just put it on the table … You can have lunch here at the director's place. "
"Alright, thank you, Director!"
Su Yun's face lit up, and she placed the things in her hands on the glass coffee table.
Chen Jin went to the water dispenser to pour a cup of tea and handed it to the woman.
"Thank you!"
Su Yun smiled as she took the cup.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, Su Yun caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. Something in the living room attracted her attention.
It had a round doll head, two small antennas on its ears, and a brush on its mechanical arm.
Wah Wah the robot?
How could there be a "Wa-wah" robot in Director He's house?
What channel did she buy it from? How could it be used so quickly?
When I ordered the "Wa-wah" robot online, the order notification stated that it would only be delivered in two to four weeks. Many netizens in the comment section called it a "monkey trick."
At the same time, she realized that her calculations were wrong. Her plan to win the director's favor was aborted.
Since Director He's house was using the "Wa-wah" robot, there was no need to give away the robot she ordered. Director He's house did not lack it, so why would she give it to her?
Therefore, she felt slightly depressed and disappointed. Director He had nurtured and promoted her. She had racked her brains to repay her, but she realized that there was nothing she could do to repay her. Director He did not lack anything, nor did she need anything.
…
At the dining table.
He Li kept putting food into Su Yun's bowl.
"Come, Little Su, eat more. Try the director's cooking, doesn't it suit your taste?"
"Delicious! Director, the food you cook is especially delicious, even better than what my mom makes! "Su Yun nodded and praised as she tasted the food.
"You silly child, the best food in the world is always made by your mother. How can my cooking be as delicious as yours?" He Li shook her head. This female subordinate of hers was good in all aspects, except that she was too proactive and immature. She still needed more experience.
"It's true, director," Su Yun explained. "Most of the food in my house is cooked by my dad. My mom has to work every day and has never cooked … but the food my dad makes is especially delicious."
"Your dad cooks, and your mom works?" He Li looked puzzled.
"It's like this …" Su Yun explained.
Her father used to work, and it was hard physical labor. After all, he had to support his three children. Her mother stayed at home to take care of the children. However, due to a work-related accident, her father fell from a height of more than ten meters, resulting in a spinal injury. He basically lost his ability to do physical labor and could only cook at home and take care of the children.
Su Yun's mother could only go to work. She set up a vegetable stall in the market. She woke up early and returned late, exposed to the wind and the scorching sun. Her days passed just like that.
"Sigh … Poor child, you have good parents. When they are old, you must be filial to them," He Li said as she wiped the corners of her reddened eyes.
"I will, I definitely will!"
Su Yun's eyes sparkled. She worked so hard to make her parents proud of her.
They chatted about a few more topics.
Looking at the Wa-wah robot cleaning in the living room, Su Yun's heart skipped a beat.
She couldn't help but ask, "Director, is that cleaning robot of yours the Wa-wah robot? Recently, this model of robot has been very popular on the internet. Many people are fighting to buy it … Director, where did you get this Wa-wah robot at home? "
"Little Su, you know about the Wa-wah robot?!"
He Li was very surprised, and a trace of pride appeared on her face.
"I know. Last night, I stayed up late to buy one. The next morning, I realized that it was sold out. The delivery is very slow, and it will only start in at least two weeks."
"Little Su, you bought one too?!"
He Li was even more surprised, and then praised her crazily, "You have good taste, Little Su, you really have good taste! You know what's good, just like the director. You know what's worth buying and what's good! And when you see a good product, you will directly pay for it. Good, this is good … Hahaha, hahahahaha … "
He Li's face was flushed red, as if she had been flattered to the point of G, and she was so happy that her eyebrows danced.
“？？”
Su Yun was confused. She didn't understand why the director was so happy.
She could only smile along for a while, and then asked another question, "The Wa-wah robot is pretty good, but the delivery is too slow. Director, how did you use it so soon?"
"I've been using this robot for half a month. It was invented by my son, how could I not be the first to use it?" He Li laughed heartily.
What?!
It was like a thunderbolt had struck.
Su Yun suddenly looked at Chen Jin, who was fiddling with the Wa-wah robot in the living room. She was stunned for a while.
Her pretty eyes were wide open, and her thin lips were slightly parted.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
