A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

On Lu Yang's side.

With the packaging issue resolved, Xia Ning was tasked with overseeing the training.

Things at the new store are temporarily settled.

But he stayed in the store because Xia Ning said she wanted to show him a sample of the new product.

Xia Ning was busy behind the bar, and compared to before, her movements were quite nimble, almost all done in one go.

Soon, Xia Ning pushed the finished milk tea in front of Lu Yang.

The cup has a purplish-blue bottom with a layer of white milk foam floating on top.

"Try it."

Lu Yang picked it up and took a sip.

The sweetness was just right, and it had a good tea flavor, but the milk foam was a little too thick.

"Make the milk foam thinner, otherwise it will get too sweet towards the end."

"Okay, I'll write it down."

Xia Ning took out the small notebook and quickly wrote a few lines.

Four new employees gathered around to watch.

Lin Xiaoya leaned closer and took a sniff: "It smells so good, and the color is beautiful too."

Another employee nodded in agreement: "If you take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments, this will definitely go viral."

Xia Ning stood with her hands on her hips, chin raised, and a hint of smugness in her eyes: "This is the power of yours truly!"

Lu Yang glanced at her but didn't say anything.

This girl is clearly getting a little too cocky.

"By the way, boss."

Xia Ning suddenly leaned closer and lowered her voice.

"Um?"

"How's the boss's wife doing lately?"

Lu Yang paused for a moment while holding the cup.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the proprietress told me when she came to the store before that she would come and see the new store opening day."

Xia Ning blinked and said, "I just wanted to prepare in advance. You know, when the boss's wife comes, we have to take it seriously."

Lu Yang hummed in agreement: "She's been quite busy lately."

Xia Ning said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Yang continued watching Xia Ning train the new employees.

Xia Ning is teaching them how to use the sealing machine.

She demonstrated as she spoke, pressing down.

laugh--

The sealing machine makes a sound.

"See? That's it, simple, right?"

Xia Ning picked up the sealed cup to show it off.

The membrane is crooked.

The four employees exchanged glances.

Xia Ning looked down and blushed.

"Uh...this is a bad example, don't follow it."

Lu Yang's lips twitched.

Just then.

My phone vibrated.

Lu Yang picked it up and took a look.

This was not Li Xixue's reply.

It's Chen Yan.

[Specialist Lu, you'd better come to the company right now.]

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

Chen Yan rarely takes the initiative to contact him.

He replied: 【What's wrong?】

About three seconds after the message was sent.

Chen Yan replied with two words.

The Empress Dowager has arrived.

Empress Dowager?

Lu Yang stared at the screen for several seconds, stunned.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

Song Qiulan!

Mother-in-law!

What is she doing at the company?

Could it be that Li Xiaochen failed to hold the line?

No way?

Lu Yang immediately stood up.

Xia Ning was teaching how to use a sealing machine when she turned around and saw her boss standing up with a serious expression.

"Boss? What's wrong?"

"Something urgent has come up, I have to go now."

Lu Yang had already started walking outside.

Xia Ning took two steps to catch up: "What's wrong? Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

Lu Yang pushed open the glass door and quickly went out.

Xia Ning stood at the door, watching Lu Yang's flustered back, and tilted her head slightly.

Lin Xiaoya leaned closer: "Manager, what's wrong with President Lu?"

Xia Ning shook her head.

"Let's not pry into the boss's affairs."

After she finished speaking, she muttered to herself, "But the boss's expression seemed a little off when he left."

I left the store.

Lu Yang took out his phone as he walked.

He first called Li Xixue.

I didn't answer.

Another one was hit.

Still no answer.

He replied to Chen Yan's message: "Where is my mother-in-law now?"

Chen Yan: [Downstairs, should be going upstairs soon.]

Lu Yang quickened his pace.

Where is she?

[President Li went down to receive it.]

So fast?

The next second, Lu Yang's phone vibrated again.

This time it's Li Xiaochen.

Brother-in-law, help me! I'm locked in my sister's office.

Lu Yang did not reply.

He doesn't have time for that right now.

Li Xiaochen posted another message.

[Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean to say it. My mom is too clever. She used seventeen ways to get information out of me. I withstood sixteen of them, but I couldn't resist the last one.]

Lu Yang glanced at the message.

Seventeen kinds?

He replied.

What is the last one?

Li Xiaochen: [She said she would keep quiet.]

Lu Yang: "..."

Well, they really are a family that keeps their mouths shut.

He stopped on the side of the road and immediately hailed a taxi.

After getting on the bus, I gave them my address.

"Master, hurry up."

The driver grunted in agreement and floored the accelerator.

……

Snowland Group, first floor lobby.

When Li Xixue came out of the elevator, Song Qiulan was already standing at the front desk.

She was carrying a thermos.

The two girls at the front desk were smiling and greeting her, one of them preparing to register her visitor information.

Song Qiulan waved her hand: "No need to register, my daughter is your boss."

The receptionist was taken aback.

Li Xixue quickened her pace and walked over.

"mom."

As soon as Song Qiulan turned her head and saw Li Xixue, her expression immediately switched to a loving mother mode.

"Xiaoxue, Mom made you some pork rib soup."

Li Xixue glanced at the thermos in her hand.

Pork rib soup.

This morning it was millet porridge, but this afternoon it turned into pork rib soup.

"Mom, you came all this way just to bring me soup?"

Song Qiulan smiled and said, "It just so happens that we're going that way."

Drop by?

It takes 40 minutes to drive from home to the company, and I have to pass through three elevated roads. Which route is convenient?

Li Xixue didn't expose her.

"Is there something you need?"

Song Qiulan smiled and said, "Can't I talk to you if there's nothing wrong? I happen to have something I want to discuss with you. Let's go upstairs and talk."

The two people entered the elevator.

The elevator doors closed.

Song Qiulan immediately changed her expression, and could hardly contain her smile.

"Xiaoxue, Mom has a question for you. Are you and Xiaoyang hiding something from me?"

Li Xixue's lips twitched.

She didn't answer.

Song Qiulan continued tentatively, "Mom isn't trying to investigate anything, she's just concerned about you."

"Mom, who told you that?"

Li Xixue frowned.

Song Qiulan pretended not to know and shifted her gaze to the elevator door: "No one said anything, I just guessed."

"You guessed it yourself?"

"right."

Li Xixue didn't believe it.

Song Qiulan's acting skills are on par with Li Xiaochen's; neither of them are very good.

Besides, she already knew the plot.

Then, the elevator arrived.

Ding--

The door opened.

Li Xixue went out first.

Song Qiulan followed behind her, shaking the thermos in her hand.

Looking at her daughter walking ahead, Song Qiulan noticed a detail.

You know, my daughter used to always wear high heels at work.

I actually wore flat shoes to work today.

She is also a mother, so she certainly understands what this means.
