17: Chapter 17 The Obedient Daughter's Thoughts

After the dinner, Su Nange hailed a taxi for Su Yao and told her to go home first.

Su Nange was very touched by her actions tonight. However, it all felt a bit strange.

It was just like having a drink with friends and getting caught by one's wife.

Su Nange had to cajole and coax her before Su Yao finally agreed to get in the car.

Su Nange said to Su Yao, feeling a bit embarrassed: "We grown men need some relaxation projects of our own, right? Look at Manager Gao and Manager Ji; they must be model husbands at home."

"If I take them for a foot massage, their wives surely won't blame me, right?"

Su Yao pouted and frowned: "What kind of crooked logic is that? Stop learning those bad things!"

Su Nange brought out his trump card: "I'm doing this for my career. Without their absolute support, how would I have any chance of winning bids this year?"

Su Yao nodded from inside the car and said: "Then finish early. You must call me at ten o'clock tonight."

Su Nange laughed: "Yes, my lady!"

On the way, Gao Yu teased him: "What? Did you really manage to trick her into being yours?"

Su Nange shook his head: "Manager Gao, you're joking. I really don't have that intention. I'm just a fresh graduate, how could I be worthy of a wealthy young lady like her?"

Gao Yu replied: "I think the big beauty in our group seems interested in you. However, her parents are both professors at Qianjiang University, so she's indeed not easy to win over. You're not wrong about that."

Su Nange said helplessly: "I really don't know about her family background. My own ability is still far from enough; I can only take care of myself. I can't let someone else starve with me."

Gao Yu patted Su Nange on the back, like a gesture of encouragement and approval.

Gao Yu treated Su Nange completely like a little brother. He felt that Su Nange had a certain quality that many people lacked.

As a senior executive of a large state-owned enterprise, how could Gao Yu not know Su Nange's thoughts?

However, this young man took every step carefully, was not reckless, knew his boundaries, and could unite all the forces around him that could be united.

Therefore, Gao Yu didn't mind giving him a push. After all, who hasn't been young?

Meanwhile, when Su Yao returned home, her little face was flushed.

A dignified-looking woman was reading in the living room. Seeing her daughter pass by, she suddenly asked: "Yaoyao, have you been drinking?"

Su Yao looked a bit timid. She didn't dare to lie to her mother and could only answer truthfully: "Just a little bit."

The woman kept a straight face: "Did your boss make you go to that social gathering? I told you long ago that your workplace is a chaotic place. You should have stayed at the university like I said, wouldn't that have been better?"

Su Yao lowered her head and pouted: "Mom, our workplace is fine. The new leader takes good care of me. Today, it was about business, and I wanted to go myself. I... I need to grow, after all~"

The woman looked at her daughter; she was her most precious treasure, the kind she was terrified of being snatched away by some punk.

Just as she was about to speak, a deep voice interrupted: "Your leader? Is her name Zhou Wanqing?"

Su Yao nodded: "Yes, actually she transferred here at the beginning of last month. It's just that the official appointment was only made recently."

The dignified man nodded: "Then you must work hard under her. You must take whatever she entrusts you with to heart."

Su Yao asked: "Father, is it true that the rumors about her being the daughter of that person in our province are real?"

Su Jianzhong, Su Yao's father, a professor in the Department of Politics and Law at Qianjiang University, and also the dean.

"These things have nothing to do with you. Just remember your father's words."

Su Yao nodded and returned to her room.

The woman complained a bit: "Jianzhong, I know you care a lot about the vice-principal position. But our Yaoyao is just a girl who graduated a few years ago. Do you think using this method is a bit..."

Su Jianzhong interrupted: "What do you women know? Let's not talk about this. Wang Pei, have you noticed that Yaoyao seems to have changed a bit recently?"

Su Yao's mother, Wang Pei, nodded: "What do you mean? How has our Yaoyao changed?"

Su Jianzhong: "And you call yourself her mother. Haven't you noticed that recently, Yaoyao has started fiddling with cosmetics before going out?"

Wang Pei suddenly realized: "You're more perceptive. Now that you mention it, it does seem that way. Jianzhong, do you mean that our Yaoyao has... has a partner?"

Su Jianzhong: "Hard to say. Anyway, you should pay more attention to this."

Wang Pei nodded vigorously: "Okay, our Yaoyao is so excellent, she can't be deceived by some random stray cats and dogs!"

After showering, Su Yao put on cartoon pajamas and sat leaning against the bed. She didn't have many entertainment activities; apart from communication and work, she rarely watched shows or played games on her phone.

She got back at 8 o'clock, and it was only 9 o'clock.

Su Yao put down her phone and picked up a novel from the desk called "Spirit Pact Pawnshop," which tells the story of the reincarnation of a White Crane Boy who, after being betrayed by an empress, pawns his love in a mysterious pawnshop to be reborn.

She really liked a female lead named Lingxi in it. She admired that although she was a demon, she was purer and kinder than humans.

For the sake of the male lead, Lingxi gave up becoming an immortal and, fearing neither life nor death, wanted to help the male lead redeem his love.

Su Yao read for a while, then picked up her phone to check; only 15 minutes had passed.

Su Yao put down her phone and started reading the novel again.

However, tonight, she felt she couldn't seem to concentrate.

Su Yao kept asking herself in her heart, would that guy call her at 10 o'clock?

Because she had drunk a little alcohol, Su Yao didn't even know why she had said those things when parting with Su Nange.

Now that Su Yao's drunkenness had completely faded, thinking back on it was simply mortifying.

She wasn't his girlfriend, so saying that would be so misleading, wouldn't it?

Would Su Nange really misunderstand her?

Involuntarily, Su Yao's little face flushed again.

Suddenly, the door was knocked. Her mother, Wang Pei, walked in.

Wang Pei brought a plate of cut fruit, placed it on Su Yao's desk, and asked with a smile: "Reading? You should rest early."

Su Yao thanked her mother and got up to eat the fruit.

After eating and washing the plate, Su Yao picked up her phone to check again. How was it only 9:30? Time was passing especially slowly tonight.

Su Yao leaned against the headboard again and saw a limited-edition doll in her display cabinet.

Su Yao got up again, came to the cabinet, and picked up the rabbit with a mouth full of sharp teeth to examine it.

Unexpectedly, she had actually opened a limited edition from that blind box the other day.

Its value was now hyped up to 2000 yuan.

Su Yao recalled Su Nange's words that day and muttered to herself: "We won't really go in, will we? You've really reached the amount for bribery now."

Su Yao looked at the rabbit; it was cheeky and cute. Involuntarily, Su Nange's handsome yet devil-may-care appearance suddenly appeared before her eyes.

Su Yao quickly shook her head, surprised: What has happened to me lately? Why do I always think of that guy unintentionally?

Su Yao quickly put down the rabbit, thinking this must be Su Nange's curse. She returned to the bed and lay down, preparing to rest.

She picked up her phone to check again. How was it only 9:40? She shouted in her heart: Annoying Ghost, I hate you so much!

Su Nange, walking on the road, suddenly sneezed! Damn it, who is cursing me?

Su Nange knew that the two leaders were serious people; after relaxing a little, they could disperse.

Moreover, Gao Yu and Ji Ming were not from Qianjiang and did not belong to the local faction of the City Investment Company.

That was why Zhou Wanqing had hinted to Su Nange through Su Yao to find a breakthrough from Gao.

Su Nange looked at the apartment building ahead and didn't go up immediately. He sat on a bench by the side of the road, silently smoking a cigarette.

After these few days, he had realized that no matter what choice Ye Tingting made, it was her freedom.

Life always has to go on, he could only wish her well.

He remembered the words Ye Tingting left behind when she left. Su Nange was still willing to believe that Tingting must have had her own hidden difficulties.

Over the years, Su Nange knew that Ye Tingting was definitely not a person who went back on her word. If she said she would always keep herself pure, she would definitely be able to do it.

And Su Nange also believed that he would likewise have an incomparably bright future. Now that he had the favor of GTA5, he could not fail even more.

Starting from this apartment, he would definitely conquer this land beneath his feet.

After putting out the cigarette, Su Nange went upstairs.

He turned on the computer, ready to continue selling cars. He needed to accumulate capital to first buy an office in the game.

With an office, he could sell cars and goods in bulk.

In that case, his capital would accumulate faster.

Su Nange opened the computer and, just as he was about to start the game, suddenly realized if he had forgotten something.

Su Nange took out his phone and found it was already 10:05.

Su Nange sighed helplessly: This girl, how can there be such a simple and beautiful girl like you in the world? I really can't bear to hurt you~~

After thinking this, he pressed the dial button and called her~~
