Chapter 25: Cultivate Feelings (2)
However, after listening to Xie Jiagu’s words, Zhu Meng made no reply.
She simply smiled shallowly and patted Su Qiuzi on the shoulder, as if cheering her.
This current situation made Su Qiuzi thankful and happy. She was confident in her abilities, but society didn’t divide the highs and lows based on ability alone. She was able to do so thanks to her mother-in-law’s letter of recommendation. After all, many of the Chuanmei University graduates in the station were taught by Miao Hualing, which more or less would give her some face. Even Zhu Meng, who had always been strict and impartial, was closer to her than before.
After chatting with Su Qiuzi for a while longer, Xie Jiagu finally reminded Su Qiuzi of one thing.
“You should also beware of Cai Jiayu in the future. This kind of girl looks as innocent as a little white rabbit, when she’s actually the most scheming. It’s too easy to do bad things with a face like that. Just two days ago, she even gave Chen Ming a call in the middle of the night.”
After the last party’s call was overheard by her, Su Qiuzi had treated Cai Jiayu just like an ordinary colleague in her heart. Hearing Xie Jiagu said so, Su Qiuzi frowned.
“Really? How do you know that?”
“Of course it’s true. Chen Ming’s wife is my bestie, she told me that.”
Hearing Xie Jiagu’s words, Su Qiuzi couldn’t help but throw a glance towards Cao Tingping’s office.
How other people’s character and private lives were, Su Qiuzi knew but wouldn’t judge. She was thinking more about her own affairs now. After getting off work from the company, Su Qiuzi called Miao Hualing.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would occasionally talk on the phone. Miao Hualing would ask her how she was doing at work, how she was doing with He Yu, and so on. Today Su Qiuzi made a call to thank Miao Hualing, who laughed over there and said, “Am I not your mother?”
Su Qiuzi, who originally didn’t feel much, was stunned for a moment after hearing this sentence. She hadn’t had a mother since she was a child and didn’t know what it was like to have one, but now she felt that her mother should be like this mother-in-law of hers.
Su Qiuzi’s heart was very warm.
“Is He Yu still busy these days?” After chatting about Su Qiuzi’s work, Mu Hualing asked about her son.
After his birthday last time, He Yu was a little less busy than before, but the two still didn’t see each other much. He was busy with the He Group’s business and now basically every night there would be parties to attend.
“Well, it’s just okay.” Su Qiuzi answered truthfully.
After she finished speaking, Miao Hualing’s side was silent for a moment before speaking again. “He is a workaholic. When he is busy, he often neglects his home affairs, so do not mind that. You can also take the initiative to interact with him more on weekdays. He’s generally quite nice to talk to. Feelings could be nurtured slowly, after all.”
It could be inferred that Miao Hualing was worried about their arranged marriage and that parents always wanted their children to have a good life. Although building a relationship with He Yu was not what Su Qiuzi had in mind, she nonetheless had to agree with her mother in law.
After hanging up the phone with Miao Hualing, Su Qiuzi went to the Japanese food store on the food street again, in which Lin Qing had scheduled a meeting with her. While eating her sushi, Lin Qing asked Su Qiuzi, ”This Saturday Zhenhua mall will have an event, and they need a host. Take it or leave it, eight hundred!”
Hearing the remuneration, Su Qiuzi naturally felt an itching in her heart, but she grabbed a mouthful of noodles and thought about it. “I’d better forget it. I’ve been taking days off lately, I’d be too embarrassed to take another one.”
“Yo, now you’re here to preach righteousness?”
