Chapter 31 ◎ "Auntie, what do you think of me?" ◎

This is not the first time Chi Xia has entered Yu Ningze's office, but it is the same as before. Compared with sitting at the desk, now when I sit on the seemingly soft sofa, I feel like sitting on a steel plate. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her mother sitting on the sofa closer to the desk, looking no more comfortable than herself. Sometimes she suspected that Yu Ningze had some magical power that would make everyone shudder unconsciously. But sometimes, she feels that it is rude to speculate on others like this. Yu Ningze handed a cup of brewed Mingqian Longjing to Chi Mu and said politely, "You came unexpectedly and didn't prepare anything. Let's have a cup of tea first." Chi Mu took the cup with a hint of With a guilty smile, she waved her hands and said, "Oh, you don't have to be so polite. I just came over to see my children." Chi Xia couldn't deny it. She knew that her mother's sudden change in attitude was not due to a sudden enlightenment, but just to watch someone else order the dishes. So she sat aside and watched the two familiar people wearing masks and performing vulgar drama without saying a word. Yu Ningze returned to his seat, and the way he leaned back on the chair made Chi Xia feel like she was hallucinating Ye Jing. She always felt that this was not like him normally. In her stereotype, he would have just called the security guard to drive him away. The mother who makes a fuss and then continues working as if nothing happened. But now he said with a smile: "Chi Xia works seriously and responsibly. She is an excellent employee of our company. Of course, as her mother, you have taught her well..." Before he finished speaking, Yu Ningze raised his head. , eyes fixed on Chi Mu, like a falcon that has discovered a hare, "It's not too late for us to thank you." Hearing the emphasis he added to the word "thank you", Chi Xia got goosebumps all over. She unconsciously thought that the air conditioner in the director's office was turned on too strongly. Chi Mu swallowed and looked at the cup in her hand with a dull expression. The Longjing tea soup was crystal clear, reflecting her hesitant eyes. Perhaps after a long psychological struggle, but she couldn't get away with it, she finally raised her head with a stiff smile and faced Yu Ningze. "You should work hard, but young people can't just focus on work and ignore other aspects, don't you think? Leader." Yu Ningze pursed his lips and said, "Of course." Seeing that the other party seemed to be showing signs of softening his attitude, , Chi's mother immediately went straight to the point: "Tell me, look at today's children, they really don't care about their personal lives at all. For example, our Chi Xia, I introduced several boys to her, but she said she was not interested. I am really worried that I have no choice but to come here." Yu Ningze just smiled, did not express any opinions, and did not interrupt Chi Mu's rising mood, just silently. Listen. He glanced at Chi Xia, who was frowning at the side, and the look in his eyes darkened for a moment. Chi Mu continued as if no one else was around: "Don't misunderstand me, leader. I'm not saying that you can't work hard for your career. It's just that it's not easy for young people to find a partner now. The competition is fierce. If you delay, you won't be able to get married." Yu Ningze nodded and motioned for her to continue. Chi Mu spoke more and more enthusiastically, and even her neck turned red with excitement. "For example, the daughter of one of my little sisters worked very hard when she was young and was a leader. Now, in her thirties, she can only date people until their second marriage. Let me tell you, it's okay now. Boys are very popular, and if they are taken over by others without noticing, they will really regret it in the future if they don't take advantage of them when they are young." "The boy I introduced to Xiao Xia before is a very nice person and a motivated young man. "To be honest, if she insists on saying something is inappropriate or not compatible, tell me, whether it's compatible or not depends on people. How will you know if you don't give it a try?" Chi Xia couldn't stand listening anymore. She guessed that the motivated and honest young man her mother was talking about was Sun Zhiyi, who was the fuse that caused the dispute between them. But what her mother didn't know was that she was never just dissatisfied with Sun Zhiyi. What she was dissatisfied with was her mother's growing desire for control and her disdain for never treating her as an independent individual. All she needs is respect as a human being. "Auntie." While Chi Xia was thinking painfully, Yu Ningze interrupted Chi Mu's chatter. A shout focused both of their eyes on him. His eyes were sharp, and an invisible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Look, how am I doing?" Just six words instantly cooled down the noisy atmosphere at the scene. No matter how eloquent she is, she can only stare, not knowing how to respond. Chi Xia had already regarded herself as an outside spectator, but even so, she couldn't help being shocked. Although I don't know which move Yu Ningze used, it seems that it still caused a lot of damage. Jiang is still too old. Compared with this kind of hypocrite who has been crawling around in the crowd for many years, his old mother who has never stepped into the workplace has no chance of winning. Just as Chi Xia was cheering for Yu Ningze from the bottom of her heart, her mother clapped her thigh and laughed: "Oh, boss, you really know how to joke. You can't make such jokes casually." But Yu Ningze's expression relaxed, With a calm look, he said, "I'm not joking. Or..." He sat up straight, leaning his upper body slightly forward, looking at Chi's mother's frozen smile, and asked: "Do you think I'm not worthy of Chi Xia?" "Enough," Chi Xia silently shouted in her heart. Stop this ridiculous farce. She raised her head and looked at Yu Ningze, meeting his eyes. In the exchange of flowing glances, she didn't see that the other party had any intention of stopping. On the contrary, he seemed to be enjoying it. After the falcon catches the hare, it will not let it go until it is tortured to death. After experiencing a rather colorful change of expressions on Chi's mother's face, she said in a state of laughter and tears: "Boss, you look handsome and you know how to make money. We, Chi Xia, are just an ordinary child. What you say really offends us." "Chi Xia's hard work at work is obvious to all. I believe her future development prospects will not be worse than mine." Yu Ningze paused and cast a meaningful look at Chi Xia: "What's more, she also Very beautiful." Chi Xia was stunned. Although the first half of the sentence was enough to surprise her, she could at least convince herself that Director Yu was just speaking for his employees, which was essentially a defensive act, but the second half... he said she was beautiful. He actually called her beautiful. It is true that Chi Xia's appearance is not ugly, or even mediocre. Back then, her ex-boyfriend pursued her precisely because of her beauty. She has no inferiority complex about her appearance. But when these words came out of Yu Ningze's mouth, Chi Xia still felt flattered. After all, he didn't seem to have looked at her before asking him to have an apology dinner. So what happened in between? Was it because he overheard Yu Ningze and Ye Jing talking at the elevator door that day and his head was caught in the door when he entered the elevator? Otherwise, she really couldn't understand the huge changes that had taken place. Likewise, it was not only Chi Xia who was shocked, but also her mother. Although Chi's mother had just said something like, "Good boys are popular," she had no idea when a real good boy was placed in front of her. He could only repeat mechanically: "Boss, please stop making fun of us. This is inappropriate." Yu Ningze lowered his head and chuckled: "Whether this is appropriate or not is all up to the person." Chi Mu's already awkward smile suddenly With his face frozen, Chi Xia almost laughed out loud. After what he said a second ago was echoed back unchanged, it was difficult for anyone to stay calm. Seeing that Chi Mu's face was about to lose control, Yu Ningze stood up and glanced at the wrist. He raised his eyebrows at Chi Xia. Chi Xia was not a fool. He immediately stood up knowingly and said, "Director Yu, there seems to be a matchmaking meeting later." After hearing this, anyone who is not a fool can understand what is going on. Chi Xia My mother was no exception. She quickly picked up the backpack at hand and pretended to stand up, "Oh, is it delaying the leadership work? You go ahead and I won't disturb you." Yu Ningze walked towards the door while continuing to pretend. : "It's okay, let's sit down for a while." Chi Mu followed closely, "No, I bought a train ticket for the evening, so I won't keep any more." At this point, anyone with some normal logical thinking ability can tell , how could Chi Mu buy the train ticket for that day under such circumstances? Putting aside the purpose of her trip, she would not rush back when she came to a different place to find her daughter. But even so, Yu Ningze still said: "Then I'll ask the driver to take you to the train station." Chi Mu quickly refused: "No! It's too troublesome for you, I can just take a taxi myself." Yu Ningze still insisted: "It's okay. Anyway, the driver is idle." Under such "kindness", Chi Mu couldn't get out of the car. Even though she said thank you and had a smile on her face, she still looked quite embarrassed. When she and Yu Ningze walked downstairs of the company, Chi Xia said to her mother's back: "Mom, be careful on the road." Chi's mother just waved her hand and didn't even look back. After watching the company's black business car drive away from her sight, Chi Xia still felt like she was surviving a disaster. Her heart was beating hard and there was a slight burning sensation on her cheeks. I can't tell whether it was because of nervousness or because I received that firm slap from my mother. Before she could make an accurate judgment, a cold touch stimulated her nerves, causing her to stop thinking. Chi Xia turned her head and saw Yu Ningze stretched out her hand, put the back of her hand against her face, and asked with concern: "Does it hurt?" She was so frightened that she quickly took three steps back, "Thank you, Director Yu, for caring. I'm fine." Heart It had already reached her throat. Chi Xia tried her best to control her trembling voice, but she was still visibly panicked. There is only a thin line between nervousness and heartbeat. She doesn't know where her mood can be assigned. In addition, everything today happened too suddenly, giving her no time to react or think. She had no way of discerning the true meaning of Yu Ningze's actions, and she didn't dare to really guess in that direction. She thought that Yu Ningze was just Yu Ningze, still doing good deeds like sending colleagues home on rainy nights, and nothing was different. So she said, "I'm going back to work first." Then she turned around and trotted away. Perhaps his body made an unexpected action before his brain. Yu Ningze looked down at his hand hanging in the air, frowned, and opened his lips slightly, but did not say a word. He looked at Chi Xia's back leaving like a frightened little animal and sighed deeply. The author has something to say:
