Mother Huang and Lin Qianqian were eating in the company cafeteria for the first time. Mother Huang was now utterly determined to ensure her son and Lin Qianqian ended up together. She spared no expense and adopted a shadowing tactic. Her rationale was simple: You say you have no free time? Fine, then we’ll come to the company to be with you. When Huang Xiaojue discovered the two of them were actually eating in the company cafeteria, his face drained of color. He had been so careful these past few days, doing his best to avoid the cafeteria, only for his mother to barge in with a woman, without so much as a word to him. Neither Mother Huang nor Lin Qianqian had ever seen Huang Xiaojue look . Lin Qianqian, too, was startled. She was a pampered young lady who had never held a job, spending her days idly at home. Her greatest ambition in life was to marry well and continue living a life of wealth and luxury. She had admired Huang Xiaojue’s tall and handsome appearance from their first meeting and had readily come along when Mother Huang invited her. She certainly hadn’t expected Huang Xiaojue’s face to turn ashen. Seeing things take a bad turn, Mother Huang immediately whispered, "Qianqian, go wait for me in the lounge for a moment." Huang Xiaojue didn’t say a word, simply pulling his mother into his office. Once the door was shut, he couldn’t hold back any longer. "Mom, this is my company, not a marketplace! Could you please, at least call me before you show up next time?" "Whenever I call, you always have some excuse! Yesterday, you said you had to entertain clients. What is it today? It’s the weekend! Is it really that difficult to come home for one meal? I refuse to believe you can’t spare even a little time. Xiaojue, you’re just giving us the runaround! If I didn’t come to your company to corner you, you’d keep standing us up like you always do. Xiaojue, how many girlfriends have I introduced to you? Wasn’t every single one of them outstanding? Take Qianqian, for instance. She’s beautiful, comes from a wealthy family, and her father even thinks highly of you. If you pass up such a wonderful girl, are you certain you’ll find anyone better? You’re not getting any younger—you’re already thirty! What more do you want?" Huang Xiaojue ignored her, simply busying himself with tidying the items on his desk. He packed a large bag, picked it up, and turned to walk out. Mother Huang panicked. "Son, what are you doing?" "Why would you resign?" "To go home and keep you company." "Son, what are you trying to say?" "Mom, you come here creating a disturbance every day. How can I possibly work ? You know I’m the general manager. Hundreds of employees watch my every move. Family members constantly showing up and causing a disruption at the company—what kind of image does that create? I’m too ashamed to continue working here. I’m not going to be the general manager anymore! I’ll go home and keep you company. Forget one meal; I’ll keep you company for a hundred years, it makes no difference to me." Mother Huang was both angry and anxious. "You, child! How can you talk like that? You’re the general manager. How can you just resign?" "It doesn’t matter if I resign. Dad and you can support me. You can support me for the rest of my life, and I’ll never work again." Mother Huang retorted resentfully, "Fine! I won’t dare disturb you at your company anymore!" He gave a wry smile. "And Mom, let me make this crystal clear: I will absolutely not get together with Lin Qianqian. You should tactfully disabuse her of any such notions early on, to avoid needlessly offending her." "I’m busy with my career!" Updates are released by novelFɪre.net "Your career is already good enough." "No, it’s far from enough. The first thing I do when I wake up every day is check the Forbes Rich List. As long as my name still isn’t on it, I won’t rest for a single day." Seeing her son’s cheeky grin, Mother Huang let out a long sigh. "Forget it. Your wings have hardened; I can’t control you anymore."
