Chapter 188 I hope we can celebrate the New Year together next year

In the kitchen, three women were busying themselves, while in the living room, two grown men with the same surname, Chu, were staring at each other.

"You already have a girlfriend, why don't you know how to cook?" Chu Mingtao started to torture.

"You've had a wife for more than 20 years and I've never seen you cook." Chu Ze used the same method to return the favor.

"That's because your mother can do it." Chu Mingtao explained confidently.

"My An Ruo can do it too." Chu Ze said with a laugh.

Chu Mingtao was choked and speechless.

I was so angry at my son-in-law that I fainted.

Date your idol and beat your grandson.

I always feel that this is something Chu Ze will be able to do in the future.

You can't do anything with him...

Even more angry!
"You can't even cook. I really don't know what An Ruo likes about you?" Chu Mingtao complained angrily.

"Your son has so many advantages, so it's not surprising that he likes me?" Chu Ze crossed his legs and peeled an almond and put it in his mouth.

"For example?" Chu Mingtao glanced at him.

"I'm Yasashi." Chu Ze pointed at himself with his thumb.

"What?" Chu Mingtao was stunned.

"Ashasi."

"What's Sassi?"

"..."

You take a rest, sir.

"You just need to know that when I use this word, all other advantages will pale in comparison to it." Chu Ze didn't know how to explain this word accurately.

Obviously this is not something that can be summed up simply by gentleness.

It is a concept-level property.

Although you are not tall, handsome, rich or powerful, you are so cool.

No matter how five you are, as long as you are awesome enough, you are a goddess harvester.

Damn Asasi.

Before long, Jiang Huiqin and the other two had prepared a table full of sumptuous meals.

The room was filled with the aroma of food, which whetted people's appetite.

At the dinner table, the whole family was chatting enthusiastically with Xia Anruo. Xia Anruo also had a smile on her face, calling them uncle and aunt one by one, and she was very sensible in picking up dishes for Chu Mingtao and Jiang Huiqin. She looked exactly like a young wife trying to please her parents-in-law, without any of the airs and arrogance that a star should have.

Jiang Huiqin was laughing so hard that she couldn't stop smiling even while eating.

The family chatted harmoniously and happily until the afternoon. Xia Anruo had something to do at home, so Chu Ze sent her away first.

On the way out of the community gate.

Chu Ze held Xia Anruo's hand and stroked her tender fingertips.

He hadn't seen Xia Anruo for more than half a month. This was their first meeting in the New Year, but they had to part again after only half a day.

Before, at home, Jiang Huiqin and Comrade Lao Chu were watching, and he was embarrassed to be too intimate with Xia Anruo. Now was finally the time for the two of them to be alone.

The two held hands and enjoyed the brief peace.

After walking out of the gate of the community and coming to the front of the car, Chu Ze helped Xia Anruo smooth down her bangs that were a little messy due to the wind, and said with a smile: "It seems that my parents are very satisfied with you."

"That's good." Xia Anruo also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

She was afraid that she would not perform well and leave a bad impression on Chu Ze's parents.

"I didn't expect that you would agree to come over so readily this time. I thought you would make all kinds of excuses for not coming like last time." Chu Ze is still a little surprised. When he called her before, Xia Anruo agreed without even thinking about it.

"You've already met my parents, it would be unreasonable for me not to come." Xia Anruo pursed her lips.

"But looking at your performance today, it seems much more natural than the last time you saw my dad. You've made great progress." Chu Ze praised.

"Last time it was too sudden and I wasn't mentally prepared at all. This time..."

Xia Anruo paused and didn't feel like continuing.

In fact, before coming here, Xia Anruo had secretly rehearsed it countless times at home, assuming in her mind all kinds of questions that Chu Ze's parents might ask, thinking about how to answer appropriately, and even had backup plans for various unexpected situations...

What about plan A and plan B.

It can be said that the preliminary preparations were quite thorough, and it feels like even the Spring Festival Gala has never been so thorough.

Fortunately, this visit went smoothly. Chu Ze's parents were also very easy-going and much easier to talk to than the old man in his family.

Chu Ze also knew that Xia Anruo must have prepared in advance this time. He looked at her with a gentle smile on his face and said softly, "I hope we can celebrate the New Year together next year."

Hearing this, Xia Anruo blushed and looked shy.

She understood what Chu Ze meant. What was the point of celebrating the New Year together? Of course, they had already become a family.

"Ah."

Xia Anruo lowered her head and hummed softly.

Chu Ze stretched out his arms and hugged Xia Anruo, and Xia Anruo also buried her face in Chu Ze's chest. After a brief and tender moment, Xia Anruo got into the car and left.

Chu Ze returned home only after watching Xia Anruo go away and disappear from his sight.

When Jiang Huiqin saw her son coming back, she pulled him over to sit on the sofa: "An Ruo is back?"

"Yeah, just left." Chu Ze poured a cup of tea and took a sip of water.

"What's Anruo's impression of us? Is she okay?" Jiang Huiqin was very satisfied with Xia Anruo and was afraid that she might not have entertained her well enough and made Xia Anruo unhappy.

"Don't worry, she's afraid that you're not satisfied with her." Chu Ze asked Jiang Huiqin to relax.

"Anruo is such a nice person. She is beautiful, easy-going, and she cooks deliciously. How can I not be satisfied with her? I tell you, we can't let such a good daughter-in-law run away." Jiang Huiqin's eyes lit up after tasting Xia Anruo's braised fish.

With such a daughter-in-law, Chu Ze will have a good life in the future.

Whether it's cooking or something else, it's a treat in every sense of the word.

"I understand. Let's tie her up and bring her home so she can't run away." Chu Ze said jokingly.

Jiang Huiqin rolled her eyes at her son and was about to speak, but Chu Mingtao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "So when are you and An Ru planning to get married?"

"marry?"

"Yes, yes, brother, you and sister-in-law should get married quickly. Look, you have already met the parents." Chu Wanqing also raised both hands in agreement.

"Well...it's hard for me to say. The main thing is that An Ruo is a celebrity. Even if they get married, it can only be done secretly. There can't be any fanfare. Besides, her parents..." Chu Ze was a little hesitant when he talked about this.

"An Ruo's parents don't agree?" Chu Mingtao understood what Chu Ze meant. "It's not that they don't agree, they just want to test me. If I can satisfy them, there should be no problem." Chu Ze said.

"You said before that you were going to be the general manager of some company. Was that a test given to you by An Ruo's parents?" Jiang Huiqin thought of the conversation between Chu Ze and his father when he just came back before the New Year.

"I guess so. If I can manage the company that An Ruo's father gave me, her parents probably won't object to us." Chu Ze nodded.

"Can you do it?" Jiang Huiqin was a little worried.

"Hehe, what are you worried about? Your son is so capable. He has even chased after big stars. It shouldn't be a piece of cake for him to run a company, right?" Chu Mingtao glanced at Chu Ze.

Why is there such a weird tone in the words?
Chu Ze didn't know how to respond to this.

Should I say it's wrong?

"You are so outstanding and smart. Work harder and perform well. You can't lose such a good girlfriend." Chu Mingtao continued to pat Chu Ze's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Dad, are you sincere about what you said?" Chu Ze had a weird look in his eyes, which didn't seem like Chu Mingtao's style.

"What else?" Chu Mingtao asked back.

Chu Ze scratched his head.

Then why do you have no face when you say nice things?
……

In the Xia family villa.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Guoqiang's family and Xia Yuqin happened to come to the villa to wish Xia Jianjun a happy new year.

"Ruoruo hasn't come back from Xiaochu's house yet?" After Xia Jianjun asked everyone to sit down, he looked at his wife Wang Yandan and asked.

"To meet the parents, you must have a meal at their home or something. How can it be done so quickly?" Wang Yandan said as she asked the nanny to make tea.

"This girl, she hasn't even agreed to her and Xiao Chu's relationship yet, why is she in such a hurry to run to someone else's house?" Xia Jianjun snorted, obviously very dissatisfied with his daughter's behavior of rushing to his door.

"Xiao Chu has been to our house, so what's wrong with Ruoruo going to Xiao Chu's house?" Wang Yandan didn't think it mattered. She had no dissatisfaction with Chu Ze.

And no matter what, Chu Ze and Xia Anruo are dating, and I have already met Chu Ze, so isn't it natural for Chu Ze's parents to want to meet Xia Anruo?

"Hey, brother, the Xiao Chu you mentioned is Ruoruo's boyfriend, right? I hadn't seen him the last time I came here." Xia Guoqiang heard the conversation between Xia Jianjun and Wang Yandan and interrupted curiously.

"Yeah, I also want to see what Ruoruo's boyfriend looks like." Zhou Ping also agreed.

"What's there to see? They all have two arms and two legs." Xia Jianjun picked up the teacup and glanced at Xia Guoqiang.

"It sounds like big brother is not very satisfied with Xiao Chu." Xia Guoqiang laughed when he heard this.

"The more the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the angrier he gets. You know your eldest brother's temper." Xia Yuqin also spoke up from the side.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't even acknowledged him, so how come he became your son-in-law?" Xia Jianjun glared at Xia Yuqin.

"The company is under the control of others." Xia Yuqin picked up the cut apple from the fruit plate and took a bite.

Xia Guoqiang and others were also stunned when they heard this.

Progress so fast?
"I was testing him." Xia Jianjun explained calmly, and then asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you, how is Xiao Chu managing the company now?"

"It's been less than a month, and he's still learning in such a short time. Do you still expect him to achieve any results?" Xia Yuqin replied in a flat tone.

Xia Jianjun laughed and said, "I don't expect him to achieve anything. I'm just afraid that he will bankrupt me in such a short time."

"If he can bankrupt the company in such a short time, I have to admire him. However, some people under him may not be convinced by forcibly arranging Xiao Chu to be the general manager this time. The company will definitely be a little uneasy for a while to come. I don't know if Xiao Chu can handle it." Xia Yuqin frowned at the thought of this.

This time the general manager forced Chu Zetian to take over instead of promoting someone from within, so some executives must be resentful.

Chu Ze is new here and has no experience, so he is afraid that he cannot defeat these old foxes.

"That's great. It's a good opportunity to test this kid." Xia Jianjun laughed when he heard this and was happy to see it happen.

……

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, good luck in starting work.

Xia Yuqin's guess was correct. The New Year had just passed and Chu Ze had not yet adapted to the leisure of the holiday. As soon as he arrived at the company, he received the resignation report from Vice President Jiang Bo.

Chu Ze was stunned.

No, I haven’t figured out my job as the general manager yet, so why did the second-in-command run away?
Although the departure of a vice president involves a lot of things and will have some temporary impact on the company, it will not be a big problem as long as we find a capable person to take over.

The key point is that Jiang Bo is a dishonest guy. He just left and he didn't leave alone.

He is a clique member.

When Jiang Bo left, he also took away several senior executives and a large number of artists and singers under his command.

Ordinary artists and singers could be taken away at will, but Jiang Bo happened to take away the two most popular singers in Xin Ruo Entertainment.

This kid is really wicked.

These people are the company's cash cows. It can be said that most of the company's profits are created by them.

If both of these singers leave, it will obviously be a heavy blow to Xin Ruo Entertainment, which will seriously damage its vitality and even cause it to fail.

I only have two SSR cards, and you took them all. How do I play this game?
Did I kill you? You backstab me like that?
Chu Ze was very angry while listening to his secretary's report in the office.

"Mr. Chu, I heard that Mr. Jiang has been very dissatisfied with the company because you took over the position of general manager..." Secretary Ding Jie also shared the gossip she knew with Chu Ze at the right time.

Chu Ze suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this.

It seems like I have ruined someone's career, no wonder.

After being the vice president for so long, he finally got rid of the general manager and was about to be promoted to a full-time employee, but he got the upper hand.

This time, seeing Chu Ze is so young...

It's over. Was he afraid that the tactic of outlasting the old lady wouldn't be able to outlast him and that he would be outlasted, so he just chose to run away?

Why do I always feel that this plot is somehow familiar...

"How dare you, Jiang Bo! I, Chu Ze, am the son-in-law of the Xia family. How dare you, a small outsider, covet the position of general manager?"

"I have worked diligently for Xin Ruo Entertainment for so many years, and I have built up the company's success. Without me, there would be no company today..."

Snapped!
"How dare you! Little Jiang Bo dare to speak so arrogantly. You are really a traitor. From today on, you will be expelled from Xin Ruo Entertainment!"

"The board of directors is blind. If you want to have fun, then you don't have to wait!"

Chu Ze wondered if he should add: "Without Xin Ruo Entertainment, you will have no place in the entire entertainment industry!"

There is an internal taste.

Was the script of the Dragon King given to the wrong person?
I am the protagonist!
Would his aunt really drive the Dragon King out for him?
At this time, Dragon King Jiang Bo had already established a new entertainment company with his team.

He finally understood deeply that working for others is not as good as working on his own.

He wanted to let Xia Yuqin know that Jiang Bo could still thrive without Xinruo Entertainment, but if Xinruo Entertainment lost him and let a young boy run the company, it would be courting its own destruction.

He is looking forward to the day when Xinruo Entertainment collapses.
