Li Xixue spoke in a very gentle tone.

This was the first time Lu Yang had ever seen her speak to someone in this tone.

I never expected that this person, who usually has a cold face or is always sarcastic in front of me, would have such an unknown side.

Besides that, she was actually a little nervous.

Although her relationship with Lu Yang was an accident, no matter what, the people standing in front of her now are her mother-in-law and father-in-law.

When Zhou Huifang saw who it was, she was taken aback for a moment.

She never expected that the boss her son was talking about would be so young.

And not only are they girls, but they are also beautiful.

"Come in, come in quickly."

Zhou Huifang gave a kind smile and quickly invited the two of them to sit inside.

Li Xixue changed her shoes and walked into the living room, placing the gift box she was carrying on the table.

"Uncle and Aunt, this is my first time visiting. I brought a small gift, please accept it as a token of my appreciation."

Zhou Huifang glanced at the brand and packaging on the gift box.

Although I don't know what it is, it looks very high-end.

She quickly withdrew her hand: "This...this is too precious, I can't accept it, I can't accept it."

"It's not expensive, Auntie, it's just a regular health supplement." Li Xixue said casually, and it really wasn't expensive to her.

Lu Jianguo glanced at the gift box but didn't dare to touch it.

He had seen one of the brands on a TV shopping channel a while ago; a box of it was priced at over five thousand.

Two boxes is...

Lu Jianguo coughed and sat back down on the sofa.

"Manager Li, please have a seat."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Li Xixue sat upright on the sofa, her legs together and slightly to the side.

Zhou Huifang hurriedly went to make tea.

Lu Yang followed her into the kitchen and saw his mother rummaging through the cabinets, taking out the jar of chrysanthemum tea, putting it back, and then taking it out again.

"Mom, just make chrysanthemum tea."

"Will chrysanthemum tea work? He's a leader in your big company..."

Zhou Huifang said, "We don't have any good tea at home. You know, this child didn't even call ahead. We didn't prepare anything."

"Mom, don't be nervous, just talk normally."

Left with no other option, Zhou Huifang could only take the chrysanthemum tea outside.

Lu Yang followed and sat down next to Li Xixue.

Lu Jianguo has already begun questioning them.

"Manager Li, which department in the Snowland Group do you work in?"

"Financial Investment Department," Li Xixue answered smoothly.

"What do you do?"

"Responsible for the company's investment and asset management."

Lu Jianguo nodded, though he didn't understand, he still acted as if he knew everything, and asked again:

"How is my son doing working for you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue looked up at Lu Yang beside her.

Lu Yang quickly gave her a look, telling her to just brush it off.

"fine."

Li Xixue remained unfazed:

"Although Xiao Lu is still in his internship, he learns things very quickly and is very reliable. Several leaders in our department have a good opinion of him."

Lu Yang sat beside him, his expression calm, but inside he was starting to panic.

Feeling grounded?

He had only been at Xueyu Group for one day and hadn't even figured out where his workstation was, yet he had already become an outstanding intern praised by the entire department.

This woman is even better at making up lies than I am.

After listening, Lu Jianguo's brows relaxed a little.

But he was still not entirely reassured and continued to press, "So his monthly salary really is 15,000?"

"Base salary is 15,000, performance-based pay is separate," Li Xixue added.

Lu Yang almost choked.

Is performance-based pay calculated separately for 15,000?

Sis, that's enough.

That's an exaggeration.

However, to his surprise, the young couple did not suspect anything.

Zhou Huifang listened with wide eyes.

"Fifteen thousand? And that doesn't even include commission? Really?"

"Really, Auntie."

Li Xixue said calmly, "The salary and benefits for our company's interns are relatively high in the industry, but correspondingly, the workload is also quite heavy."

"Don't worry, don't worry, Xiao Yang is a child who can endure hardship."

Zhou Huifang smiled.

Just a moment ago, he suspected his son had joined a pyramid scheme, but now he's practically begging to kowtow to the leader of that scheme.

Lu Jianguo remained silent for a while.

He asked a few more questions, such as working hours and company address, which Li Xixue answered one by one without any flaws.

Finally, Lu Jianguo gave a long "hmm".

But Lu Yang could tell that his father believed it.

Zhou Huifang sat down next to Li Xixue, extremely enthusiastic: "Manager Li, have you eaten yet? How about I cook you a few dishes!"

"No need, Auntie, I have something to do later."

"Oh, I see. Then you must come next time! I'll definitely treat Manager Li to a nice meal then!"

"it is good."

Li Xixue got up, ready to leave.

"By the way, Manager Li, may I ask if you're married?"

Zhou Huifang asked subconsciously.

The voice just fell.

Lu Jianguo couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.

My wife's annoying habit has struck again!

He would ask any young woman he saw if she was married, eager to act as a matchmaker.

Zhou Huifang smiled and said, "Don't mind it, that's just how Auntie is. I can't keep my thoughts to myself."

"I……"

Li Xixue paused for a few seconds, glanced at Lu Yang, then looked back at Zhou Huifang and uttered two words: "We're married."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huifang felt a slight pang of regret.

Such a beautiful and well-mannered girl, how wonderful it would be if she could become my daughter-in-law.

However, since the other party was already married, she didn't say anything.

Li Xixue got up to say goodbye and leave. Zhou Huifang escorted her to the stairwell, repeatedly saying things like, "Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyang, leader," and "Please take care of me in the future."

After confirming that Zhou Huifang had gone back, Li Xixue's face fell instantly, and she looked at Lu Yang beside her.

"This time, you owe me."

"I know, I know."

Lu Yang waved his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally got through it.

"manager?"

Li Xixue glanced at him, not very satisfied: "Couldn't you have given me a nicer title?"

"What should I call him? 'President'? If you really say that, my dad will probably call the police on the spot," Lu Yang said.

Li Xixue glared at him irritably, then walked to the car and opened the door.

Before getting on the bus, she suddenly said, "Your parents are nice people."

Lu Yang: "..."

"Let's go, get in the car."

"Wait a minute, I'll go back and say goodbye to my parents."

Lu Yang said.

After this trip back, I don't know when I'll be back again, so I have to say goodbye to my parents.

As soon as he arrived at his doorstep, he heard Lu's mother, Zhou Huifang's, voice coming from inside.

"Old Lu! Look at that leader, she's young and beautiful, and speaks so politely. Xiao Yang is so lucky to have such a leader!"

"Alright, alright, I got it."

Lu Jianguo said this, but his tone was no longer as harsh as before.

Lu Yang pushed open the door and went in, but Zhou Huifang immediately grabbed him.

"Xiao Yang, how old is your Manager Li?"

"Mom, why are you asking this?"

"I was just asking."

Zhou Huifang's eyes darted around as she said, "I don't think she was wearing a ring either..."

"mom!"

Lu Yang gave a wry smile: "Could you please stop trying to set up every woman you see?"

"Young people these days just don't get it..."

Zhou Huifang continued, "By the way, Xiaoyang, ask Manager Li when she's free. We can go and give her a gift in return another day."

Although she wasn't very educated, she could tell the gift was expensive, and she understood social etiquette and the importance of reciprocity.

Lu Yang said directly, "No need, Mom, she has plenty of money... cough cough, she doesn't need it, and she goes to work at the company every day."

"Then let's schedule a time for me to visit your company."

"We'll see."
