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

The message was disconnected.

Lu Yang turned around and looked.

This usually aloof CEO was now supporting himself on the table with both hands, his expression indescribably complex.

Everyone here, from the receptionist to the cleaning lady, calls her General Manager Li.

Now you want her to pretend to be the manager on her own turf?

This isn't acting anymore; this is performance art.

Thinking about this...

Li Xixue kept pacing around the office, not knowing what to do.

Lu Yang put his phone back in his pocket and then said, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush..."

"How can I not be in a hurry?"

Li Xixue's expression was genuinely anxious: "Your mother wasn't even telling me she was coming."

Everyone in the company calls her President Li. As soon as Lu Yang's mother walked in, she could just grab someone and ask them a question and the truth would be revealed.

"Uh, I was in such a rush last time, I forgot..."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "We need to get the message out as soon as possible."

"notify?"

Li Xixue laughed in extreme anger:

"You want me to send a company-wide notice saying that from now on, everyone should call me manager?"

Is this realistic?

It's obviously unrealistic!

Besides, if this gets out, where will I put my face?

Lu Yang said, "We don't need the whole company, just this one floor will do, or we can find a few reliable employees to act it out."

"That won't do either!"

Li Xixue immediately rejected the idea.

"Do you have a better idea?" Lu Yang asked.

Li Xixue opened her mouth, then closed it again.

She didn't.

After all, she never expected this to happen.

Lu Yang took a step forward: "Since things have come to this point, we have to play our part completely."

Li Xixue glared at him fiercely.

I should have known better than to agree to play the manager role last time.

Now we're all tied to the same boat.

If the boat capsizes, it will benefit no one.

"no."

Li Xixue crossed her arms, still maintaining an uncompromising attitude.

Let whoever wants to do it do it; she can't do it anyway.

After all, she was the company's president, but her status was directly reduced to manager.

It's too ridiculous.

Lu Yang crossed his arms and said in the same tone, "Then I'm not doing your mother's business either."

"How dare you threaten me!"

Li Xixue gritted her teeth and said.

Lu Yang said bluntly, "If your parents knew you got drunk and married a complete stranger..."

Li Xixue pursed her lips: "How can I help you?"

Actually, it wasn't that she didn't want to help.

She just thought it was absurd.

Those two downstairs are, in terms of relationship, her in-laws.

She changed her appearance, pretended to be a middle-level manager under her, and accompanied her in-laws on a tour of her company.

If you were to tell anyone about this, no one would believe you.

"Just think of it as... experiencing life," Lu Yang said tentatively.

"Experience my foot!"

After complaining, Li Xixue let out a long sigh.

Forget it.

At this point, neither beating him nor scolding him will help.

She pressed the phone of her office assistant.

"Assistant Chen, come to my office."

soon.

Chen Yan pushed the door open and came in.

Li Xixue closed her eyes briefly, as if making a very difficult decision.

She has never been this worried about projects worth hundreds of millions.

"Notify everyone on this floor that from now on, in front of outsiders... call me Manager Li."

"what?"

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment.

Then she looked at Lu Yang and paused for a moment.

What the hell?

manager???

Demoted from president to manager, a drop of eighteen ranks?

Chen Yan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Mr. Li... what's going on?"

"Call me Manager Li!"

"Manager Li... Manager Li."

"Yes, that's it."

Are you sure?

"Try asking again."

Chen Yan wisely shut her mouth and quickly walked out.

But the moment he stepped out the door, Lu Yang saw her desperately trying to suppress the corners of her mouth.

It was obvious that she was trying not to laugh.

The contrast between the company president becoming a manager out of nowhere is truly astounding.

Li Xixue sat back down in her chair, her legs, encased in black stockings, crossed over each other, and one foot dangled in the air twice.

This is a little gesture she makes when she's agitated.

"besides."

Li Xixue suddenly remembered something: "If your mother asks any personal questions about me during this time, you should handle them yourself."

"no problem."

"If she asks me again whether I'm married or not..."

"I will answer for you."

Upon hearing this...

Li Xixue's complexion improved slightly.

That's about it.

We'll have to adapt to the situation then.

A minute later, Chen Yan returned.

"Manager Li... everyone on this floor... pfft... um... everyone on this floor... pfft... has been notified."

When she uttered the last few words, the corner of her mouth twisted for a moment, but she managed to hold it in.

She has received professional training and doesn't usually smile.

"Are you laughing?" Li Xixue frowned.

"No, Mr. Li."

Chen Yan desperately suppressed her smile and added, "I've already given instructions to the front desk, but Mr. Lu's parents have already started asking, saying they want to come up and visit you."

Li Xixue took a deep breath and said after a moment, "Let them come up."

Chen Yan nodded and left.

Lu Yang also felt like he was trying not to laugh, but he didn't. Instead, he said very seriously, "Thank you for your help, Manager Li."

Li Xixue clenched her fist, then relaxed it.

She didn't hit Lu Yang.

But that look, translated, means...

Just you wait.

……

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Zhou Huifang and Lu Jianguo stepped out.

Lu's mother, Zhou Huifang, was carrying a plastic bag containing two boxes of pastries, the packaging of which indicated they were not cheap.

Normally, she would only buy gift boxes that were on sale at the supermarket, but this time was different; she had spent a lot of money to buy these pastries.

The couple looked left and right as soon as they got out of the elevator.

The spacious corridor has floor-to-ceiling glass partitions, and several abstract paintings hang on the walls—the kind that are incomprehensible at first glance but are very expensive.

To be honest, this was the first time they had ever seen such a high-class company.

At this moment, Lu Yang strode out of the office.

Lu Jianguo and Zhou Huifang were standing in the corridor, looking around. Their outfits were completely out of place with the style of the building.

"Dad, Mom!"

As soon as Zhou Huifang saw Lu Yang, she loosened her grip on the bag strap: "Xiao Yang, over here!"

"Didn't I tell you not to come?"

"What? You won't let me in? What shady things have you been doing at the company?" Lu Jianguo glanced at him sideways.

Lu Yang felt a little guilty: "Um... I'm just working properly."

Zhou Huifang's attention was no longer on her son.

She glanced around, then immediately lowered her voice instinctively: "Xiaoyang, is this where you work?"

"right."

Lu Yang smiled and nodded, then took the things from his mother's hands. "Let's go, I'll take you inside to sit down."
