Whose Son-in-Law is More Awesome

Although Luo Zhiqing comes from a prestigious school and has a well-off family, she is easily rewarded with 50,000 yuan by these bosses for doing a favor.

This kind of thing... it's just... unbelievable.

"Chairman Zhang, I can't accept this," Luo Zhiqing said instinctively.

"No? Why not?" Zhang Yang chuckled. "I asked you to do my personal business, so it's only right that you take the payment. If you really don't understand, just talk to Bai Jingyi more and you'll get it."

He earned tens of thousands of yuan in the short time he was talking to Luo Zhiqing.

It's like if you casually give someone a dime or 15 cents, would you think about taking it back?

"Thank you... Mr. Zhang," Luo Zhiqing said, barely suppressing her excitement.

"No need to thank me. As long as you work hard, I don't think you'll be disappointed here." Zhang Yang smiled and was about to let Luo Zhiqing go ahead and get busy.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

After the door opened, CEO Zhou Zhaodong walked in.

"Chairman Zhang, these are some personnel-related documents that require your signature."

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Luo Zhiqing beside him.

That one glance made Luo Zhiqing's heart skip a beat.

"That is..."

Her expression immediately turned bitter.

To be honest, she originally wanted to leave, but the idea of resigning started to waver after she first saw the boss in person. Although she submitted her resignation, in the past two days, the scales in her heart had already tipped.

Otherwise, why would someone who's about to leave be so attentive if she had nothing better to do?

However, once you submit your resignation form, it won't be automatically withdrawn; it's already in the process of being processed.

Involuntarily, she couldn't help but dig her nails lightly into her palm.

Zhang Yang casually flipped through the personnel information sheet on the table, then suddenly stopped, thinking he had misread it.

He glanced at the application form on the table and then looked up at Luo Zhiqing in front of him.

Luo Zhiqing immediately lowered her head, not daring to look Zhang Yang in the eye.

"Okay, you can put your things down now." Zhang Yang casually placed a stack of reports aside and said to Zhou Zhaodong in a friendly manner.

"Okay, Chairman Zhang, I'll go take care of my work now." Zhou Zhaodong nodded and turned to leave.

In the blink of an eye, only Zhang Yang and Luo Zhiqing remained in the office.

"You really surprise me." Zhang Yang shook his head and chuckled. "I just got back, and we've only known each other for a couple of days, and you're already quitting? Are you serious?"

"I..." Luo Zhiqing's heart trembled violently.

If she understood Zhang Yang's personality, and spoke her mind honestly, Zhang Yang would not only not be offended, but would also give her another chance.

But she didn't.

Deep down, she still possessed her own sense of self-respect and pride.

"Alright, I won't interfere in your private matters." Zhang Yang took Luo Zhiqing's resignation form from the stack of reports and picked up a pen.

Immediately, Luo Zhiqing's eyes visibly dimmed.

What she thought was a plea to stay was completely nonexistent.

No one is indispensable. Besides, she was just an insignificant little assistant.

"Oh, right." Zhang Yang's pen paused on the paper, and he suddenly looked up at Luo Zhiqing. "It shouldn't be because I'm... too difficult to get along with, right?"

He casually used a Truth Card.

Logically speaking, system items are precious, so he shouldn't be wasting them like this. However, he was also really curious about why his new assistant had left the company.

"Actually..." Luo Zhiqing's eyes suddenly became confused. "Actually, before you came, I had been thinking of leaving because... because I felt that the company platform wasn't suitable for me to fully utilize my talents, and I also heard a lot of rumors about Secretary Bai, saying that she and you seemed to have an improper relationship."

Zhang Yang blinked, his expression unchanged.

"And then what happened..."

"Later, after I met you in person, I realized that you were completely different from what I had imagined." Luo Zhiqing suddenly raised her head. "Your temperament and demeanor are admirable and awe-inspiring. Your strength and your circle of connections have repeatedly refreshed my understanding and made me Yangwang. A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. I already regretted it at that time."

"So you're... purely concerned about saving face, feeling that since you've already resigned, even if you regret it, you're determined to go all the way?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"Yes, I do care about my image," Luo Zhiqing said.

"To be honest, if you had never mentioned resigning, would you still be planning to leave now?" Zhang Yang chuckled and asked.

"I'm not stupid. You're such a generous boss. You're giving me so much money for doing something for you. How could you possibly mistreat the people around you in the future? How could I possibly leave?" Luo Zhiqing said immediately without thinking.

The words had barely left her mouth when she suddenly seemed to realize something and abruptly covered her mouth.

Her face was also flushed.

"Chairman Zhang, I..."

"Okay, stop talking, I know." Zhang Yang gestured. "It's a work issue, not about saving face. I won't hold a grudge against you or make things difficult for you just because you mentioned leaving before."

He looked at the little girl in front of him, who had her head down and dared not look up.

"I won't approve your resignation. You stay and keep up the good work."

"Yes, Chairman Zhang." Luo Zhiqing's voice was so weak it was almost a whisper, but in reality, she felt like she wanted to die.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy." Zhang Yang waved his hand.

Luo Zhiqing seemed to have been granted a pardon, and turned to leave the chairman's office as if fleeing.

As soon as I stepped outside, I covered my face, wishing I could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Had she just lost her mind? How could she have blurted out all her innermost thoughts?

That's so embarrassing...

In the afternoon, inside a coffee shop.

Several women, probably in their forties, were drinking coffee and chatting.

"I'm only missing Chen Lu. I wonder how she's doing now, after all these years."

"She's a good wife and mother, living an ordinary life," an auntie laughed. "Most people are like that... we're no exception. I remember her daughter was very pretty, very much like her when she was young. I guess she'll get married in the next few years."

"And you call yourself one of the masses? Of all the people in the world back then, you've had the best life. You found a husband to work hard with, and over the years you 'Magic City, buying a car and a house. Your daughter even found a great boyfriend. We're all so envious of you."

Several aunties around her complimented the one who had the best temperament and was dressed the best.

Although the aunt didn't say it, the upturned corners of her mouth and the undisguised joy in her eyes betrayed her feelings at that moment.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

As they were talking, a figure came to the table, sat down, and placed the latest Hermes bag on it.

The women stopped talking and looked over at the same time.

Then, they were all stunned.

The person in front of you:

She was wearing Chanel and Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo shoes, Bulgari necklace, and Jaeger-LeCoultre -LeCoultre bracelet.

Every gesture exudes elegance and wealth.

"Chen Lu!" they exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide with surprise.

As for their eyes, they expressed a wide range of emotions: shock, surprise, disbelief, and more.

"Long time no see," Chen Lu said with a smile.

"Chen Lu, it really is you! You, you, you... what's wrong with you now..." an aunt stammered.

This outfit is worth a million!

What does this mean?

The aunt who had just been complimented sat there speechless, not uttering a single word.

"Chen Lu, your husband's made it big now? He's spoiling you like this, my goodness... Look at you, even wealthy ladies don't have your kind of elegance!" an auntie said.

There was no exaggeration in her words.

Because of the millions spent on the outfit, combined with Chen Lu's already stunning looks, the effect was far greater than the sum of its parts.

"That's an exaggeration." Chen Lu smiled, though she was secretly basking in happiness. "My husband certainly spoils me, but all of this... is because our Weiwei found a great boyfriend."

Everyone perked up their ears to listen.

"I just arrived in Magic City these past couple of days, and coincidentally, my friend Weiwei's boyfriend also came back from abroad. Without saying a word, he had his assistant accompany me shopping for most of the day." Chen Lu couldn't stop smiling.

"I couldn't refuse even if I said no; the assistant said it was a mandatory task personally assigned by the boss."

Everyone fell silent.

Someone couldn't help but glance at one of the women.

Just now, during a casual chat, someone mentioned that her daughter is also in Magic City and has found a good boyfriend.

No matter how good a boyfriend is, can he compare to the one right in front of you?

They gave away a whole million as a meeting gift!

Suddenly, everyone's attention and focus shifted entirely to Chen Lu.

They asked each other many questions, their eyes practically overflowing with envy.

Surrounded by the center of attention, enjoying the flattery, compliments, and envy of her former friends, Chen Lu felt as if she had reached the pinnacle of her life.

"Chen Lu, your son-in-law's company must be huge! He must have a lot of employees, right?"

"No, no, he's not my son-in-law yet, so I can't say things like that," Chen Lu said with a smile. "I don't know the size of his company, but it's definitely very big. His company has many cars, and the one that brought me here today is a Rolls-Royce."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Everyone around exclaimed. "Chen Lu, don't be modest. Although he's not your son-in-law yet, it's only a matter of time. If he didn't approve of your Bei Wei, would he give you such a generous gift?"

"He really spoils our Weiwei," Chen Lu said with a smile. "His house, car, and shop in Magic City were all arranged by him."

The aunties around her, naturally adept at conversation, immediately followed up with questions, giving Chen Lu a chance to continue.

"I've bought a house and a car, wow, that's incredible!"

"Where did you buy the house?" an auntie asked. "Hui Ru and her family have also settled down in Magic City."

"Hui Ru?" Chen Lu smiled at the aunt beside her. "What a coincidence! Our Bei Wei's house is in Lakeville Regency, and yours is too? You might even be neighbors."

"Lakeville Regency?" Aunt Hui Ru paused, her expression immediately becoming somewhat unnatural. "Your house is a luxury mansion, ours is just an ordinary house, we definitely can't compare."

"That's different. Your family worked hard to get where they are," Chen Lu said. "Our family... well, we can only say Weiwei is very lucky."

She meant it.

After all, if it weren't for Bei Wei, their family wouldn't be as well off as Hui Ru's family, who worked hard to make a living.

But others don't see it that way.

"Good fortune and luck are also a form of ability," someone said. "Since we're free this afternoon, Chen Lu, why don't you take us to your Bei Wei store for a look around?"

"Huh?" Chen Lu was surprised by this request. "Then I'll have to ask Bei Wei."

··

In the afternoon, the group strolled around the vicinity of Yunheng Building.

"That spot over there... that's my daughter's shop." Chen Lu looked at the huge storefront in the distance.

Upstairs and downstairs, there are floor-to-ceiling windows, and many guests are sitting by the windows reading and drinking coffee.

"Youjian Book Cafe, that's a really interesting name."

"The way young people think these days is completely different from what we thought back then."

"And this shop, in such a prime location, the rent must be quite high every year. Who knows, maybe someone will buy it and give it to their girlfriend?"

The aunties chatted animatedly, one after another.

Not far away, a pretty and sweet figure pushed open the door and came to greet them.

"Mom! You're here."

It was Bei Wei.

"Just arrived. Come, let me introduce you to these aunties," Chen Lu said with a smile. "These are all your mother's good friends. Actually, they all met you when you were very young."

"Hello, aunties, welcome to my place! Please come in and have a seat," Bei Wei greeted them with a smile.

The women smiled and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Look at that figure, that face, and that personality—so likable! No wonder she found a boyfriend like that.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked, and then entered the book cafe together.

The huge book cafe, spanning both upstairs and downstairs, is tastefully decorated, filled with the aroma of books, a subtle scent of coffee, and a refreshing fragrance.

Inside the counter, inside the bookstore, and behind the coffee bar.

There were at least ten shop assistants at that glance.

"This scale is enormous, the investment is quite substantial!" one auntie couldn't help but exclaim. "And with so many employees, how can the profits be enough to sustain..."

"Auntie, you've misunderstood. There's no rent here," Bei Wei explained with a smile.

"Did you buy it?" they asked.

"No need to buy... This entire commercial street, including that office building over there, belongs to my boyfriend," Bei Wei explained. "He doesn't care whether I make money here or not; he just wants to satisfy one of my little hobbies and give me a shop to kill time."

She suddenly smiled as she spoke.

"However, all things considered, this store has actually made a profit over the past year."

The women around her were stunned speechless, their heads buzzing.

What did they hear?

This shop, all the shops on this street, and even that office building not far away—they all belong to her boyfriend?

This...

I was truly shocked.

Given their social class and limited perspective, they truly cannot imagine what this concept means!
