Chapter 154: Su Yun’s Shock

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Mom, why doesn’t Su Yun come to our home anymore? She seemed to have stopped visiting for a long time.” During meal time, Chen Jin opened his hand and counted on his fingers. He realized that Su Yun had stopped coming to his home for half a month.

Yesterday, Mom had explained that Su Yun had more or less finished learning the accounting knowledge that she had come to learn from her. She would not be visiting so frequently anymore. He did not know why, but his heart felt a little empty, as if there was something missing. Hence, he could not help but repeat his question again.

“What? She has almost finished learning what she was supposed to learn from me. You still want her to come to our place every day?” Rolling her eyes at her blockheaded son, she thought that his speed of response was way too slow. Su Yun had stopped coming here for almost a month and he was only starting to talk about it now? His slow and dumb behavior disheartened her. He was presented with such a good lady, yet he actually remained indifferent. Is your standard too high, or are my tastes too low?

However, his response today finally allowed her to recover some of her confidence. Silently, she approved. I manipulated the scenes for such a long time; it’s impossible that there would be no results!

This fellow could not remain entirely indifferent. As to why Su Yun had stopped visiting, He Li, with a similarly sensitive personality, knew the reason. She felt inferior. A sense of inferiority so great that she could not bear it anymore. It was the cause of her lack of courage to visit their home again.

He Li’s son was too outstanding. “Wealth” magazine estimated that his personal worth was more than 18 billion. The magazine also predicted that this number would exceed 80 billion within two years. He would rise to become one of the top 10 billionaires in the country; the rate at which his riches were multiplying was beyond one’s imagination. He had created two types of products. One had brought convenience into millions of households, and the other had transformed the education of the entire Z country. The two products had a deep and significant impact on the future of the country; both were worthy of applause. They brought about positive and wonderful impacts that were highly admirable.

Faced with such a high-achiever, even He Li herself had started to develop an inferiority complex. She frequently asked herself, “Is this really the son that came from me?” Why did she always feel like she was in a dream? He Li could totally understand how Su Yun was unable to find the courage to come again. He Li even noticed that Su Yun had become even quieter at work. Nowadays, she did not like to talk and would always hold her head down. Su Yun’s gaze would also skitter away when she saw He Li. The relations.h.i.+p between the two had gradually become less intimate and more distant. An invisible barrier had grown between them.

He Li was very clear about the reasons behind her behavior and she expressed her understanding. Recently, she noticed that her subordinate was smiling more. He Li called her into the office for a heart-to-heart talk and enquired if something happy had happened to her. Su Yun did not hide the facts. She explained, “My parents and my younger siblings will be coming to Shang Hai to visit me. It’s been so long. This is their first time coming to such a big city for a vacation. I want to bring them around.” She was smiling throughout the conversation.

He Li said, “Ok, since they came all the way here to see you, you should bring them around. How about this, I’ll give you two days of leave. You can let go of your work a little. The city is so big; make more time to take your parents around for some sightseeing.”

“Thank you so much, Manager!” Su Yun was pleasantly surprised. Originally, she could only use the weekend off to bring her family around. With the Manager’s help, she could have more time with her parents.

He Li smiled. “Silly child, you don’t have to stand on ceremony with me.” The longer she looked at this filial and sensible child, the more she liked her. Why was her stupid son so tasteless?

…

At the dining table, He Li heard her son ask about Su Yun for the second time. He Li’s mind operated quickly and she suddenly came up with an idea. She said, “Son, Su Yun’s parents will be coming to Shang Hai city to visit her soon. They will be vacationing for a few days here as well. Su Yun doesn’t have a car. Her parents will be taking the high-speed rail over a long distance. They will be travel-worn and its inconvenient without a car. They are a big family; they have to arrange for meals, accommodations, and a tour guide to take them around a city. It’s all very inconvenient without a car. Su Yun’s family will be coming over tomorrow. How about this, son; take that big Benz of yours and fetch them from the high-speed rail station. After that, you can take them out for a meal, arrange their accommodation, and bring them around for some fun for a few days. Show your goodwill as a landlord.” He Li looked at him. “Son, Su Yun had at least helped your mother to prepare the meals two times and washed some dishes. Can you help me with this little favor?”

Suddenly, Chen Gang started coughing, almost choking on his rice. He looked at his wife doubtfully. Your son is now worth billions; he’s a famous public figure, a VIP in science and tech circles, yet you want him to fetch some ordinary peasants? Of course, he did not say this out loud. He merely thought it in his mind. Moreover, he felt that with Chen Jin’s personality, he probably would not go.

However, he immediately heard something that surprised him. Chen Jin agreed, “Ok, Mom. I can fetch them in my car tomorrow.” Lately, he was not busy at all. He stayed home nearly every day; he had so much free time. It was good to find something to do outside so that he could at least breathe in some fresh air.

These days, Yuan Li did ask him out many times. She even sent him photos of herself in skimpy, revealing clothes in the guise of trying them out, asking if he liked the clothes. She said that she only wore them for him, that there was even “better” clothing; would he like to know more about those? However, Chen Jin replied saying that he was busy.

He did quickly agree to Mom’s request though.

“Good, son. You’ve helped me with a huge favor.” He Li was very pleased, grinning from ear to ear.

…

The 18th of July was a Friday. It was 4:30 pm, and there was still half an hour left until Su Yun clocked out. Sitting in her seat, she started to feel distracted. She had finished her work tasks a long time ago. Now, she was anxiously waiting to clock out. However, she did not dare to leave earlier. She was afraid of leaving a bad impression on her colleagues and the higher-ups, and people would gossip behind her back. She could only look at the time on her watch as each second and minute pa.s.sed, feeling the time getting longer.

She wanted to leave earlier because the traffic in the city would become congested after 5 pm. She would be hit with peak congestion after she fetched her family from the rail station and returned to the city. Even if she called a cab, there was no guarantee that she could return to her dormitory by 8 pm. Then, she would have to arrange for her parents to stay in the family-sized room in the dorm before she could finally rest.

Finally, it was 5 pm on the dot! Turning off her computer, she hurried to the ground floor. Not even bothering to return to her dorm for a change of clothes, she planned to call a cab straightaway and go to the high-speed rail station.

At the ground floor of the Tax Bureau, she was the first to exit. Taking out her mobile phone, she prepared to call a cab. Just as she walked to the roadside, she heard a voice ringing out, “Su Yun!”

Turning her head, she was stumped. Him? What was he doing here?

Chen Jin silently measured Su Yun. She was wearing a navy suit with a blue blouse and a red tie. On her head was a hat with a curled brim. There was a badge on the center of the hat. Her uniform also consisted of epaulets, shoulder badges, collar badges, chest emblems, b.u.t.tons, and other accessories. A standard look for a tax officer. She had tied her hair back in a ponytail, looking very capable and skilled. Her image brightened one’s eyes.

Chen Jin said, “Get in my car, I’ll take you to fetch your family.”

On the contrary, Su Yun was so shocked that she took a few steps back. Lowering her face, she shook her head. “No… that’s not necessary. You’re busy. I can call a cab to fetch them.”

“My Mom told me to come over and help. Stop dithering and get in the car!” Chen Jin took two steps over and pulled her hand. He opened the door with the other hand and gently pushed her inside. After telling her to put on her seat belt, Chen Jin started the car. Sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, Su Yun found it hard to breathe as her face heated up.

Spotting this scene, Li Xiao Lan, who was Su Yun’s work partner, dorm mate, and good friend was astonished. “Since when did Su Yun get a boyfriend?”

In the Tax Bureau, standing at a window on the ground floor, He Li gazed at the departing car. With a deep hooded look, she said in a low voice, “Little Su, you should be satisfied with the performance of my silly boy today.”
