This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time!

Seeing these words, Lu Yang replied with a smile: 【OK!】

Lu Yang put his phone away and turned his attention back to the dining table:

"Mom, don't rush to find Uncle. I'll have the company's leaders come over now, and you can ask them yourself then."

"Leader? What leader?"

"My direct supervisor."

Lu Yang said with a smile.

Zhou Huifang glanced at Lu Jianguo, her eyes filled with suspicion.

How could an intern get his boss to personally visit him?

Moreover, it belongs to the Snowland Group.

Are large companies like this usually so free?

Lu Jianguo frowned, feeling that this was becoming increasingly unreliable.

"Fine, I'll give you one chance, but let me make this clear: if you dare lie to us, you'd better go back to school tomorrow and don't even think about doing this kind of nonsense again!"

"What if it's true?"

"real?"

Lu Jianguo scoffed, "If it's true, you can do whatever you want from now on, and your mother and I will never interfere."

"It's a deal!"

Lu Yang smiled and didn't say anything more.

After sending the address to Li Xixue, he returned to the living room and sat down.

Zhou Huifang had already started clearing the dishes, her face still showing tension.

Lu Jianguo sat on the sofa, holding the remote control and flipping through channels, switching from local news to health and wellness channels, and then from health and wellness channels to shopping channels. He was clearly distracted.

"How long will it take for your boss to arrive?" Lu Jianguo asked without turning his head.

"Soon."

"Where did you come from?"

"Over there in the city center, the financial district."

"Financial center? Parking there costs forty yuan an hour. Your supervisor, an intern, is going to drive over ten kilometers to your house to prove you're not involved in a pyramid scheme? Is he out of his mind?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment.

It seems... that's indeed a bit unreasonable.

But he can't think of a better way right now.

We can't really have his mom call his uncle and then his uncle call the counselor.

Zhou Huifang came out after washing the dishes: "Xiaoyang, does your boss want some tea? Do you have any good tea at home?"

Although they were skeptical, if it were true, and they didn't treat Lu Yang well, his future would be ruined.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Didn't Dad get some health tea as a gift after his physical exam two years ago?"

Lu Jianguo chimed in, "They're all expired."

"What does it matter if it's expired or not? As long as it has color when brewed, it's still drinkable."

Lu Yang rubbed his temples.

Forget it, I'm giving up.

He rummaged through the kitchen cabinets and found an unopened can of chrysanthemum tea. He figured he'd make do with that.

About half an hour later.

Lu Yang's phone rang.

Li Xixue: [We've arrived. Which building do you live in?]

Lu Yang returned the building number and unit number, then prepared to leave: "Mom, they're here, I'll go downstairs to meet them."

Lu Yang went downstairs and out of the building. He immediately saw a black sedan parked on the side of the road.

It wasn't that pink Porsche Panamera, but a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Li Xixue got out of the driver's seat. Today she had changed her outfit. She wasn't wearing high heels, but a pair of white flat shoes. She wore a plain knitted cardigan, and her hair was loose and draped over her shoulders.

She was completely different from the aloof female referee she usually was.

Lu Yang walked over.

Today, this woman gave him the feeling of a gentle and virtuous wife.

He asked, "You changed your car?"

"Um."

Why?

Li Xixue thought for a moment and said:

"I asked my assistant, and she said that when you visit someone's home for the first time, you shouldn't be too ostentatious; you should keep a low profile."

Lu Yang was taken aback: "You couldn't be too flashy, so you switched to a Mercedes S-Class?"

Li Xixue blinked, tilted her head, and asked somewhat blankly, "Is there a problem?"

Lu Yang said irritably, "Sister, a Mercedes S-Class costs over a million yuan, right? You call this being low-key?"

"This car is usually used by my housekeeper for grocery shopping," Li Xixue said directly.

"..."

Lu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Okay, okay, so you're using a Mercedes S-Class as a grocery-getter?

Is this the world of the rich?

This shows that people with billions in assets have a completely different understanding of being low-key compared to ordinary people.

However, compared to the pink Pamela, the black Mercedes parked under the residential building in the old town was indeed less conspicuous.

"You brought something with you?"

Lu Yang glanced at the bag in her hand.

The two gift boxes looked very high-end and were obviously expensive.

"It's not appropriate to show up empty-handed."

Li Xixue handed him one of the bags and said, "You may be shameless, but I still have some self-respect."

"..."

Lu Yang paused.

Okay, okay, you're just learning and applying what you've learned, huh?

Lu Yang took it and glanced at the label.

"How much do these two items cost together?"

"It's not expensive, just over ten thousand."

Lu Yang almost stuffed the bag back in.

She said it wasn't expensive, just over ten thousand...

You should know that his dad only earns four thousand a month, and these two boxes are equivalent to his dad's salary for several months.

"Too expensive, let's choose something else."

"We've already bought it, why would we want to return it?"

Li Xixue ignored him and walked straight to the stairwell entrance.

She took two steps, then stopped and looked back at him.

Which floor do you live on?

"Fourth floor, no elevator."

Li Xixue nodded and then stepped onto the stairs.

The paint on the hallway walls was peeling off, and the area was covered with little GG stickers.

To be honest, compared to the office buildings and villas she usually frequents, this environment is extremely shabby.

But she didn't show any disgust.

On the contrary, I was somewhat curious.

"Oh, right."

Lu Yang called out to her from behind.

Li Xixue turned around.

"I told my parents that you are my direct supervisor, part of the management team at Xueyu Group. Don't let it slip."

"Aren't you afraid I'll deliberately give myself away?"

"If you dare to give yourself away, I won't cooperate later."

Li Xixue snorted and didn't say anything more.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, Lu Yang took out his keys and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Zhou Huifang was already standing in the entryway, wiping her hands repeatedly on her apron, clearly very nervous.

Lu Jianguo also stood up from the sofa.

Lu Yang immediately introduced, "Dad, Mom, this is my direct supervisor at Xueyu Group, Li..."

He paused for a moment.

What's your name?

Mr. Li?

No, that's too formal; his parents will think it's fake.

Should I call her Sister Li?

Even worse, it would seem like the relationship is too close, making it difficult to explain.

"Manager Li."

Lu Yang thought for a moment, and finally blurted it out.

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue's eye twitched slightly.

manager???

She, the president of Xueyu Group, has now been demoted eighteen levels?

However, she didn't expose them, but instead gave the couple a polite smile.

Her smile was perfect, her tone was gentle, and she adopted a humble posture, which was completely different from her previous aloof image.

"Hello, uncles and aunts, my name is Li Xixue. You can just call me by my name. I happened to be passing by here on business, and Lu... Xiao Lu said he wanted me to come and chat with you for a bit."
