Chapter 1793 - 1879: Technical Director
"But when I saw your academic record, I thought you’d plagiarized something. I’d even planned to ask what was going on, but then I found out you’re the big boss’s classmate, and that you’re from Huaqing. Alright, go report to the HR department!"
"Thanks..."
Feng Tianxiang really didn’t know what to say anymore.
"Hehe, silly kid, remember to come drink my wedding wine, at Farmer Family!"
Monkey quickly said.
"Come on, Brother Monkey, I said your net worth is over a billion, you really don’t need to be that stingy, going to Farmer Family? You can actually think of that? As your future sister‑in‑law I’ll be generous this once and let you hold the engagement ceremony at Xuanying Hotel, the biggest one we’ve got here. How about it?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless again. Damn, this guy actually had over a billion in assets. Even Xiao Naihe almost spat blood when he heard that.
The poor loser they’d pegged him as turned out to be that capable.
"So it was Xuanying. I’ve been racking my brains and still couldn’t remember!"
Su Xuan said a bit awkwardly.
"You’ve got the nerve to say that. I told you already it was named by putting my name and your name together. Oh right, you said Monkey’s wife really can do that proposal? Then I’ll take it to her and have her do it. My brain seriously hurts from working on it!"
"Then let’s go. Just in time for you to help Monkey’s wife try on a wedding dress!"
Su Xuan said, pulling Boss along as he spoke.
"Boss, let’s go. We’ll talk about your situation in the car!"
Su Xuan said, leading Boss and Monkey out. Gu Xiyin said she was going to tidy up some files and would be right there.
"You little brat, you two are really disloyal, keeping this from me. No way, Second Su, you’ve got to introduce a wife to me, or my son’s really going to be bullied by you two punks in the future!"
"How about you have a daughter, and I’ll have my son marry your wife!"
Su Xuan grinned wickedly.
"Screw you, I’m having a son!"
The three brothers left joking and laughing, leaving most of the people in the company completely dumbfounded. As for Xiao Naihe, he really just wanted to find a hole and crawl into it. This was utter humiliation.
Yan Yixin, standing to the side, looked even worse. The one she’d always been ordering around and looking down on, Feng Tianxiang, had suddenly become the technical director. That was a very high position, with a salary calculated on a yearly basis of no less than five million yuan.
"I get it now, I remember. Those two just now, one was the big boss of Su Group, and the other was the big boss of Haotian Group. I saw their profiles once in the office. Our company is controlled by Su Group and Haotian Group!"
"..." In that instant, Xiao Naihe staggered and fell. God, he’d actually offended both the big boss and the second boss. Now he finally understood just what he’d done with that one sentence, how he’d trampled all over Gu Xiyin’s face.
Disaster comes from the mouth. Once those words were out, it was far too late for regret. His mood sank to rock bottom.
Only now did Xiao Naihe remember why Su Xuan had said he didn’t know him. Sitting at his desk, that feeling of something lost and irretrievable made him want to just swallow rat poison and be done with it—but some mistakes, once made, never had a chance to be fixed.
If Xiao Naihe had any sense, he’d choose to resign himself. Otherwise he’d be demoted sooner or later, and his status would keep dropping, because he noticed even the clerks were looking at him with disgust now.
When Su Xuan and the others reached the entrance, Monkey said,
"You gotta say, that Xiao Naihe really has no brain, to be able to say something like that!"
"Hehe, that guy never had a brain to begin with, it’s not like you didn’t know!"
By this time Gu Xiyin had already changed into a pretty wool coat and happily came to the door.
"Sister‑in‑law, got any suitable girls to introduce to me? You don’t know, these two animals keep knocking me down!"
Boss acted all wounded.
"Hehe, with how outstanding you are, Big Brother, you still need your little sister to introduce someone?"
Laughing and joking, the group arrived at the bridal shop. It wasn’t until after three in the afternoon that they finished arranging everything and then headed to Phoenix New Village.
When Su Xuan and the others got back to Monkey’s place and Xue Mengxue saw Gu Xiyin, she didn’t feel awkward at all. After all, Xue Mengxue had spent the most time with Su Xuan, so she naturally knew him very well. The two of them even sat together discussing the proposal.
"Monkey, where’s your wife? Get her out here to help Xiyin look over this proposal. There won’t be time tomorrow!"
Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Qingyi’s helping out in the kitchen."
"Then I’ll go get her!"
Monkey finished speaking and happily went into the kitchen. Zheng heard his mother talking with Hou Qingyi and was curious, wanting to hear what his mother was saying to her.
"Auntie, Monkey and I truly love each other, please believe in us. If I were after money, I wouldn’t still be unmarried to this day!"
When he heard this, Monkey panicked. What on earth had his mother been saying? This was exactly the thing he hated most. Monkey knew very well what it was that attracted Hou Qingyi to him. He didn’t know exactly what his mother had just said, but it definitely wasn’t pleasant.
"Mom, what are you saying to Qingyi?"
Monkey walked over to Hou Qingyi, pulled her behind him, and looked a bit upset.
He saw that her eyes were slightly red, and he felt a pang of grievance on her behalf.
"I...I didn’t say anything!"
Monkey’s mother hadn’t expected her son to come back just then and felt a little embarrassed.
"Mom, no one understands better than me why Qingyi is with me. Don’t say stuff that insults people like that. Meeting her in this life is my blessing. She’s a teacher, she has her pride. I’m nothing special."
Monkey said with a serious face.
"I...I really didn’t say anything. Your uncle just called me. He said..."
Monkey’s mother hurriedly explained. After Monkey and Hou Qingyi finished listening, they both didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Hou Qingyi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"Auntie, I...I thought you were looking down on me!"
Hou Qingyi smiled through her tears.
Turned out Monkey’s mother had received a phone call from her older brother.
What Xie Junshan meant was that Hou Qingyi’s background was unclear, and he said she was after Monkey’s talent and money. Monkey’s mother of course didn’t believe it and staunchly defended Hou Qingyi, saying she wasn’t that kind of person.
In the end, Xie Junshan got anxious and straight up said that Xie Wanrong had taken a liking to Monkey. If the two families got together it’d be marrying into one’s relatives, even more reassuring since they knew each other inside out!
Monkey’s mother naturally refused. How could she not know what kind of woman her niece was? So of course she wouldn’t agree and directly hung up the phone.
