1033: Chapter 996: What a Freak!

Chu Yunxuan was momentarily startled.

Somehow astonished, she looked at her mother.

What did that mean?

Did she want to talk to Wu Jie?

About what?

She hadn’t gone home for the past three nights, not to the out-of-town project department, but had instead been tending to Wu Jie with utmost gentleness at the smart center.

Could it be that her mother knew about this?

Chu Yunxuan subconsciously felt a bit nervous.

Though she had come to terms with it and had even begun to feel happy and take pleasure in it…

After all, her parents were from an older generation, and their ideas were different.

If her incessantly talkative mother found out that she was acting as Wu Jie’s lover…

the consequences were simply too dreadful to imagine.

“Hey—why are you spacing out?

I’m just asking if you can make it happen or not.”

Huang Meijuan was growing impatient.

Earlier, while she was caught up in the chaos at the airport, someone had smarted off to her, and she was still feeling upset.

Chu Yunxuan glanced around and pulled her mother over to a more secluded spot.

“What are you talking about?

Since when can a subordinate freely arrange meetings for their boss?”

Huang Meijuan pouted, “I just want to meet him for a moment, just a small chat!”

“Ha!

There are plenty who want to meet Jie, and even more who want to chat with him.

If he were available to everyone, would he even have time for his real work?”

Chu Yunxuan somewhat roughly rebuked.

Huang Meijuan immediately frowned and glared.

“What are you doing, you little girl?

I was just casually asking, yet why are you being so aggressive?

Am I not your mother anymore?”

“I feel like you’ve changed so much these past few years.

Do you really think you’re better than everyone else just because you became a general manager?”

“Let me tell you, no matter how high-ranking your position is or how much money you have, you’re still my daughter, Huang Meijuan’s daughter!”

“When I ask you to do something, if you can do it, you do it; if you can’t, explain clearly.

What are you getting so mad about?

Why the temper?”

…

Chu Yunxuan immediately regretted it.

Knowing her mother was a chatterbox, she shouldn’t have irked her.

Now here she was, going on like a machine gun, non-stop and with unlimited ammo.

Finally managing to wait until Huang Meijuan took a breath and paused, Chu Yunxuan quickly dragged her further away.

“Can you give it a rest?

Do you want everyone to know how much you can talk?”

Huang Meijuan snorted heavily.

She knew that today’s event was special.

So after venting her anger, she didn’t want to prattle on any longer.

What if some big-shot leaders saw her?

How embarrassing would that be?

Where would she put her face?

Once the mother and daughter had moved away from the academic exchange center, Chu Yunxuan let go and asked,

“What do you want to talk to Jie about?

If it’s some trivial matter, I’m truly sorry, but I can’t bring myself to recommend or arrange it!”

“How could it be trivial?” Huang Meijuan said nonchalantly, “The two subsidiaries you manage, do they count as significant within his group?”

Chu Yunxuan replied offhandedly, “The investment in Du Shi City’s West Mountain Expressway is nearly 60 billion, and the investment in Tanglong Technology City is nearly 600 billion.

You tell me if that’s significant or not?”

“Then you’re considered one of the high-level executives in the group, right?” Huang Meijuan asked with a smile.

Chu Yunxuan responded emphatically.

“Mom, what are you trying to say?

Can’t you just be direct?

I have important matters to attend to right now.

Can you please be straightforward?”

Huang Meijuan chuckled, “It’s really simple.

You see Mr.

Wu, although he was once a nobody, with no money, no power, no background, ever since his marriage to Tang Xiao, he has truly soared high!”

“So, the success of a person doesn’t just depend on their abilities, but also on the opportunities they get.

I…”

Chu Yunxuan displayed a cold, drooping frown.

Huang Meijuan quickly smiled and said, “Alright, alright, I’ll come out with it!

I want Mr.

Wu to introduce you to a good prospect!”

What???

Chu Yunxuan was utterly astounded.

It’s often said that the older people get, the more confused their thoughts become and the fuzzier their intelligence, leading to the saying, ‘the older, the more childlike’.

Some elderly people become childishly temperamental with age.

On seeing her own mother now, Chu Yunxuan truly believed that the rumor was not unfounded.

And her mother had been hinting at what big matter?

Actually asking Wu Jie to introduce her to a good match…

Ha!

Did she even need Jie’s introduction?

If she was lucky, she might already be pregnant!

Chu Yunxuan quickly shook her head, trying to quell the heat rising in her heart.

“Why are you shaking your head?

Don’t you like the idea?”

Huang Meijuan scoffed, “I’ve heard about that so-called National Husband, Wang Cong.

He’s absolutely not suitable for you.

I even went online and checked—tch, he has so many ex-girlfriends…”

“So?” asked Chu Yunxuan, cutting her off.

Huang Meijuan, with her head held high, proclaimed unabashedly,

“Birds of a feather flock together, people are sorted into groups!

I think those playboys from rich families are unreliable.

In contrast, Wu Jie, who comes from humble beginnings, is very dependable.

He’s honest and kind-hearted, and the people he associates with are either government dignitaries or societal elites!”

“I think if he introduces someone to you, it would definitely be more reliable.

As for those heirs from rich and influential families, I think it’s better to forget it.

Those who have been wealthy and powerful from a young age, would they ever lack women?”

…

Chu Yunxuan held her breath and focused.

She tried not to interrupt or say too much.

With her mother’s ability to talk, if she let her get going, she might never stop talking for three days and nights.

Luckily, by the time they got to the cafeteria, many staff were busy preparing for the luncheon.

With more people around, Huang Meijuan instantly stopped talking.

In her heart, her daughter was the best, and she couldn’t let outsiders think she was anxious about marrying her off.

She followed Chu Yunxuan to check on the lunch preparations.

These meals were for various leaders and academicians, so they needed to be clean and hygienic, with a full blend of colors, scents, and flavors.

Staying close to Chu Yunxuan, Huang Meijuan could not help but throw her weight around.

She directed the cafeteria staff to do this and that with the air of an executive.

This made Chu Yunxuan incredibly awkward.

Finally, after all the hard work was done and they left the cafeteria, Huang Meijuan grabbed Chu Yunxuan.

“Hey, about what I mentioned earlier, what do you think?

I won’t take up much of your time, a chat with Mr.

Wu lasting just ten minutes!”

Chu Yunxuan clenched her teeth, knowing that if she talked back, she’d probably face another round of machine-gun fire.

“Okay, I’ll talk to Mr.

Wu in a bit.

You go get your food and head back to the dorm to eat.

Then wait for my message.

Don’t barge into the cafeteria; there are too many people around, and it would be too awkward!”

Huang Meijuan laughed, “Oh look at you, talking as if I don’t know any better.

Your mom used to be a department head; wouldn’t I understand social etiquette?

Hurry off now, make a good impression.

Who knows, maybe one day, you’ll succeed President Tang as the CEO of the Group!”

“I…”

Chu Yunxuan felt like she had been struck by lightning, cooked on the outside, tender on the inside.

She really wanted to ask, if I became the CEO, what about Tang Xiao?

Would she be out of a job?

But honestly,

Chu Yunxuan wasn’t particularly interested in becoming the CEO of the Group; however, she had a strong interest in the status of being Mrs.

Wu.

It would be nice if Tang Xiao was willing to step down, but unfortunately, it was broad daylight, so what was she daydreaming about?

Forcing a smile, Chu Yunxuan left her mother and hurried back to the academic exchange center.

Huang Meijuan stood there, thinking blissfully about how she should approach Mr.

Wu.

Unintentionally, she noticed her daughter’s departing figure.

The way she walked…

seemed different from before, didn’t it?

And before at the airport, when her daughter greeted the guests with a smile, standing next to Wu Jie, her smile was indeed radiant and her eyes shone with the freshness of spring.

Her skin was delicate, moist, and lustrous, her eyes bright, her teeth white, her look captivating.

“Being with the big boss sure seems to change one’s aura!”

Huang Meijuan couldn’t help but smile to herself.

…

On the other side,

After the symposium ended, on the way to the cafeteria by car, Chu Yunxuan took the opportunity to speak to Wu Jie.

Huang Meijuan, the notorious ‘chatterbox’ of Technology City, actually wanted her to set up her daughter, Chu Yunxuan, with potential suitors?

Damn!

Was this a mistake?

Wu Jie couldn’t help but laugh after hearing it.

Auntie Huang obviously didn’t realize that her precious daughter, capable in both the drawing room and kitchen, had already perfectly transformed.

Set her up with someone?

Point her in the direction of other men?

There was no way Wu Jie could do that.

But seeing Chu Yunxuan looking distressed, he knew her mother was tough to deal with, the kind of person who wouldn’t give up until she achieved her goal.

So…

Wu Jie reluctantly agreed.

After all, in some sense, that was also his mother-in-law!

However, a casual meeting was not so easy to arrange.

After an exquisite and abundant lunch banquet, the afternoon was packed with activities.

First up was leading a team to various sites for an on-the-ground inspection of Technology City.

To meet the research and living needs of tens of thousands of people from dozens of scientific institutions,

Of course, a lot of research buildings, small villas, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, and so on had to be built, and various scientific research and living facilities and equipment had to be purchased.

Seeing is believing, and letting the experts and academics witness and test everything firsthand, of course, was most persuasive.

Next was the negotiation of details for cooperation.

Tanglong Industrial Group is a business, and as a business, it must prioritize profit.

What fields to research, what scientific projects to establish, how much capital to invest…

The Group had detailed design plans, personnel arrangements, risk control, and so on for research in the past.

Now, cross-industry and cross-unit cooperation required clear agreements.

The discussions in Liuli City were already almost settled, and today the experts and academics had their site visits, so any remaining issues needed to be addressed in negotiations, otherwise, it would be time to sign the contracts.

Lastly, a joyful celebration with a meal was in order, toasting to the anticipated success of the cooperation.

After the grand dinner, these busy experts and academics had to be courteously seen off.

By the time the official plane roared off from the airport, it was already nine in the evening.

By the time he saw off the various leaders who had also come for the reception, it was already ten o’clock.

At this late hour, he had to chat with ‘chatterbox’ Huang Meijuan?

Wu Jie had no intention of bothering her, but Auntie Huang’s enthusiasm was overwhelming.

Hearing that the guests had left, she quickly phoned Chu Yunxuan, saying she had prepared some food for a late-night snack, insisting that Wu Jie come to the dorm to taste it.

A late-night snack?

In the dorms?

The project department’s accommodations were temporary and didn’t come with a kitchen.

How had she prepared a late-night snack?

Perhaps she had boiled a couple of instant noodles?

To save Chu Yunxuan from the incessant chatter, Wu Jie had no choice but to go.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the fragrant aroma of rice wine.

Huang Meijuan was busy at the living room coffee table, where an electric rice cooker sat, seemingly stewing some sweet fermented rice balls.

“Mom, Jie is here!”

Chu Yunxuan called out in an indifferent tone, then immediately changed her shoes.

Wearing high heels, accompanying the delegation on a tour around Technology City, breaking the forty-thousand step count, her feet were numb with pain.

Upon hearing her, Huang Meijuan turned around, her face beaming with a warm smile, energetically waving him over,

“Jie, come sit down.

You must be worn out after running around all day.

Auntie’s sweet fermented rice balls are the best for nourishment!”

With those words, Huang Meijuan served a bowl and placed it in front of Wu Jie.

“Thank you, Auntie!”

Wu Jie smiled awkwardly.

By rights, she should be called ‘mother-in-law’, but given his special relationship with Chu Yunxuan…

it was better not to say it.

Otherwise, with Huang Meijuan’s chatty nature, she could easily announce it to the world within minutes.

The more he ate, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Who would enjoy eating while someone was smiling at them, watching every bite?

It felt really strange.

“Auntie, aren’t you going to eat something?” Wu Jie asked.

“I’m on a diet, and my blood sugar and cholesterol are a bit high.

I can’t have late-night snacks!”

Huang Meijuan gestured for Chu Yunxuan, who had just put on her slippers, to come and sit next to her.

“The fact that Yunxuan can work in the Group makes the whole family proud!”

“But she’s not getting any younger, so I want to ask you to introduce her to some suitable candidates!”

“I wouldn’t be unreasonable, demanding an extravagant dowry with luxury houses and cars!”

“But as for rich young men with too many ex-girlfriends like Wang Cong, forget it!”

“Just someone young and promising, successful in their career like you will do!”
