Chapter 4: Forced Marriage
After more than an hour's drive, Xie Zi'an arrived at this villa away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
He grew up here as a child and moved out of the villa when his father died when he was 20 years old. After his father's death, he felt pressured because of his youth, and the old directors of the company felt that he was not qualified for the position of president, so he worked day and night in order not to let his father's hard work be ruined.
At that time, there was no time to sleep, so I had to move into a house near the company to save a little time on the road to catch up on sleep.
Eight years have passed since then, and he has always been accustomed to living in his current apartment. Xie Zi'an thought about it, maybe the old lady was really lonely, so come back to accompany her to dinner more in the future. Xie Zi'an sighed and entered the door.
"Zi'an, you're back." On the sofa sat an elegant woman, who looked to be in her early thirties, dressed in a cheongsam with her hair coiled up in the back.
"Mom, you just asked me to come back for dinner today?" Xie Zi'an said to the elegant woman.
"Of course" Mother Xie didn't dare to look at Xie Zi'an with a weak face, and she was a little out of breath when she spoke.
Seeing his mother's expression, Xie Zi'an understood that his mother didn't tell the truth, so he stared at Xie's mother without saying a word.
"Oh, don't look at me like that" Why does the son look so much like the dead old man without saying a word, it's a little scary.
Mother Xie remembered that when she did something wrong before, Father Xie was also like this, looking at herself without saying a word, waiting for him to explain honestly. "Really, how can father and son touch the same" Xie's mother muttered dissatisfiedly, and at the same time her heart was a little sour, she really missed the old man a little.
"Okay, I have something to tell you today." As soon as Mother Xie thought of what she was going to say later, she immediately gained confidence again, and her voice became a lot louder.
"Well, what's the matter? Say it," Xie Zi'an said as he sat down on the sofa.
"What's the matter with you? What about my daughter-in-law? What did I say during the Chinese New Year last year? Why don't you find me a daughter-in-law yet? Think for yourself how old you are? Seeing Xie Zi'an sit down with a relaxed face, Mother Xie couldn't help her anger.
Mother Xie: I told him to find a girlfriend last year, but it's been another autumn, and I haven't found it yet. It's a 28-year-old person, so why aren't you in a hurry. Hmph, angry.
"Mom, can you not talk about this?" Xie Zi'an frowned, and his voice was helpless.
may be because he was in a high position too early, and in the past eight years, too many women have used a lot of means to catch him up and rely on him to become Mrs. Xie, which makes Xie Zi'an inexplicably a little repulsive to women. And he has been cold to people since he was a child, so he never thought about finding a wife and starting a family or anything. He wants to find a surrogate mother when he wants a child to inherit the family business in the future, so that there will be no follow-up problems.
"No, let me tell you, if you don't find a girlfriend, then I'll help you find it" Xie's mother knew that her son was cold to people, and she was afraid that he would die alone if he couldn't find a partner in the future.
She has been in love with Dad Xie for so many years, of course she knows how beautiful it is to have someone she loves to accompany her, and after losing Dad Xie 8 years ago, she knows how sad it is to be alone. Therefore, she had to use strong means.
That day, after accompanying Xie's mother to dinner, Xie Zi'an did not give her mother a clear answer, but kept doing things perfunctorily. For this reason, Xie's mother really stomped her feet, and therefore Xie's mother's plan to find a daughter-in-law began to take shape.
After Xie Zi'an left, Xie's mother called all her good sisters and asked them to introduce her son to someone.
Regarding Xie Zi'an's worth in the city and Xie Zi'an's appearance, even if he is cold, there are many rich wives who want to marry their daughters to him. Therefore, it didn't take long for Xie's mother to collect a lot of information about school-age girls. After screening it first, let Xie Zi'an meet these girls.
It's another Monday, and Fu Xiaoxiao came to work with a good mood from this whole weekend. And Xie Zi'an was a little annoyed because of what Xie's mother said, so he also got up to work in the morning today.
Fu Xiaoxiao arrived downstairs at half past eight o'clock, and when she was about to walk to the elevator door, she saw that an elevator was about to close, so she shouted to the elevator Wait a minute, a hand reached out in the elevator, and the elevator door opened.
Fu Xiaoxiao staggered into the elevator, with a sweet smile on her face, raised her head and wanted to thank the man who helped her open the door, "Thank you... Thank you, President" The smile on Fu Xiaoxiao's face froze, and he changed it to a professional smile, commonly known as a fake smile, and thanked Xie Zi'an.
Just when the elevator door was about to close, Xie Zi'an heard a female voice, he felt a bit like his female secretary, but he couldn't be sure, after all, his secretary had never spoken so happily, usually he was more serious when he talked to the secretary, and the secretary generally turned back to him in a calm and steady voice.
So he wanted to make sure, but as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw his female secretary smiling sweetly, which made him stunned for a while, is she usually so active and lively? Xie Zi'an couldn't help but think.
But now Xie Zi'an looked at this stiff smile, and his mood was a little irritable, was he so annoying?
Fu Xiaoxiao is a little curious, doesn't the president have an exclusive elevator? Why didn't I take it, I thought about it and asked directly, after all, if the elevator was broken, I had to talk to the property and then call someone to repair it. "Why didn't the president take the exclusive elevator? Is it broken? ”
"Hmm," Xie Zi'an replied with an expressionless tone.
"Okay, I'll call someone to repair it right away," Fu Xiaoxiao replied with a professional smile.
Xie Zi'an felt more and more that Fu Xiaoxiao's smile made him upset, and he arrived at the floor of the president's office at this time, and he walked out without hesitation.
Fu Xiaoxiao also got off the elevator with Xie Zi'an, she took a deep breath, and whispered, "Sure enough, staying with the ice cube will be frozen" After she put down her bag, she went to call to solve the elevator problem, and after solving it, she began to prepare the materials for this morning's meeting, and Lin Haoyu came not long after she sat down.
"Good morning. Smile," Lin Haoyu greeted Fu Xiaoxiao with a smile.
"Good morning, Brother Haoyu, you're back from a business trip," Fu Xiaoxiao raised his head from the information and looked at Lin Haoyu and said.
They have gotten along very well since they worked together so far, Lin Haoyu is a person who is very good at enlivening the atmosphere, and Fu Xiaoxiao himself likes to get along with such people, because he is very relaxed, Fu Xiaoxiao will talk endlessly every time he is with someone with such a personality.
In the president's office, Xie Zi'an felt very annoying when he heard the sound of Fu Xiaoxiao chatting happily with Lin Haoyu. He couldn't concentrate on reading the documents, so Xie Zi'an called the secretary Fu Xiaoxiao's internal phone: "Did I spend money to let you come to chat?" Ready to go? Don't work fast yet."
Fu Xiaoxiao received the call and thought that the president needed coffee in the morning, but he heard the obviously angry voice, which immediately scared Fu Xiaoxiao and Lin Haoyu, after all, Xie Zian is the boss, Fu Xiaoxiao is still a little afraid of being found lazy by her superiors, just like the fear of being caught by the head teacher and doing bad things when she was in school.
After Xie Zi'an hung up the phone, they didn't dare to chat so blatantly anymore, so they each sat back on their desks and began to prepare materials for the meeting at nine o'clock.
