I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2844 - 1764: Sister-in-law (Part 2)
Previously on I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping...
The young man glanced at the leader again, lowering his voice, "It’s not off work yet."
"I’ve already spoken with your department head and arranged leave for you, so just come down."
What’s called a perfect girlfriend.
The young man was dumbfounded for a moment, glanced quietly at the silent leader, then said, "Okay."
He put the phone down.
Without waiting for him to speak, Yan Zeming waved his hand, "Get... just go quickly."
The words "get lost" were swallowed back.
Sigh.
The leader treated him like this, truly pathetic~
"Mr. Yan, then I’ll..."
Yan Zeming impatiently waved his hand again, seemingly thinking out of sight, out of mind.
The young man wisely shut his mouth, held his phone, and turned to leave.
Watching him disappear behind the office door, Yan Zeming withdrew his gaze, his eyes falling on the investigation report in front of him, his expression complex, feeling both amused and helpless, sighing softly.
"Sigh~"
Walking out of the company building, Hong Xiaoyu, who got off work two hours early, looked around.
"Beep beep—"
The sound of a horn blared.
Hong Xiaoyu spotted his girlfriend’s BMW 3 Series, his not particularly handsome but very sunny face instinctively broke into a smile, quickly descending the stairs.
Logically, women generally prefer the three-pointed star emblem.
Moreover, this BMW 3 Series wasn’t a customized model, just a very common white.
Of course.
At the age of just stepping out of university, being able to drive a BMW 3 is already quite remarkable.
But what if it is linked to the identity of the top figure’s daughter in Jinhai Jiang City?
Isn’t it low-key to an extreme?!
"Did Uncle come back?"
Hong Xiaoyu closed the car door, fastened the seatbelt, knowing his girlfriend was not one to use privileges, breaking the norm must be for a reason.
"No."
She could be called the top rich and beautiful in River City, but Duan Xueyin had no haughty demeanor, smiled slightly at her boyfriend, and started the car without any delay, seemingly really in a hurry,
"Guess."
Hong Xiaoyu racked his brain, not mentioning a word about the "grievance" he suffered just now.
"...Just tell me directly, my brain is rather dull."
Though brothers, he’s clearly different from Boss Jiang.
The nondescript BMW 3 Series merged into the main road, Duan Xueying driving with a sweet smile, "How can you speak of yourself like that? How are you dull? Your leader clearly praised your outstanding work capability, attitude, and results."
Hearing this, in the office, the impartial Hong Xiaoyu showed a hint of embarrassment, "That’s for your sake, I don’t know how much trouble I’ve caused for our department."
"Trouble?"
Duan Xueying looked at him, "Are you saying rooting out power-abusing pests is causing trouble?"
Hong Xiaoyu stayed silent.
"When you joined the audit department, you should have known the work nature and content are different from your previous position."
"But... those people’s livelihoods are gone, some even might go to jail, their families, kids..."
"Is that your responsibility?"
Duan Xueying’s lips curled gently, "Why must you have such high empathy? When they were embezzling, corrupt, and pocketing the company’s wealth, why didn’t they think about their families, parents, kids?
Adults should be accountable for their actions, shouldn’t they?
If put lightly, you’re kind, but if seriously, you’re sympathizing with criminals."
"That’s true."
Hong Xiaoyu rubbed his nose.
Duan Xueying turned her head, smiling, "If you’re unwilling to stay in the audit department, then change to another one, after all, you’ve been there for some time, familiar enough to switch."
"No."
Hong Xiaoyu answered without hesitation, "I’m not leaving."
"Didn’t you just say the audit department’s work pressure is high?"
"Every job needs someone to do it. If I leave, someone else has to take my place, might as well continue myself."
"If I don’t go to hell, who will?"
Duan Xueying teased.
Among couples, having one with a sense of humor is enough.
"I can’t bear such a statement."
Hong Xiaoyu replied bashfully, then added, "I just feel I’m more suitable."
"Suitable? Why?"
"Because I don’t have to worry about offending anyone."
Hong Xiaoyu chuckled, "And I’m not concerned about revenge."
Duan Xueying drove onto the highway leading to the airport, nodding seriously, "Exactly."
Hong Xiaoyu’s smile broadened, then he turned his head, speaking softly:
"Xueying, thank you."
"Oh. Why so suddenly sentimental?"
Duan Xueying feigned surprise.
Hong Xiaoyu scratched his head, "...These are just my heartfelt words."
Duan Xueying’s smile was gentle, focusing on the road ahead, driving carefully, "I know. No need to thank me, remember, I am your girlfriend."
"Of course, you are my girlfriend."
Hong Xiaoyu blurted out, then hesitated, finally mustered enough courage, but still spoke softly, "And always will be."
"What?"
The highway’s traffic noise was too loud, and it seemed like Duan Xueying hadn’t heard him clearly, after all, it’s just a BMW 3 Series, the noise-cancellation isn’t that powerful.
"I said."
Hong Xiaoyu’s face started turning red, but he didn’t back down, speaking more firmly.
"You’ll always be my girlfriend,"
"I’ll always be your girlfriend?"
Duan Xueying was curious, confused, "Then who will be your future wife?"
Hong Xiaoyu instantly froze, his face turning even redder, scrambling to explain yet stammering, "I-I didn’t mean that, I absolutely haven’t thought of looking for a wife, I mean, not looking for someone else to be my wife..."
Compared to him, Duan Xueying was much more composed, "You mean you want to marry me?"
Hong Xiaoyu’s face was as red as a traffic light, wanting to nod, yet shy, caught in a dilemma; honestly, during his rotational training in Jinhai Jiang City, he could borrow a period, let him follow Boss Jiang, do nothing but shadow him, keep a pen and notebook handy, it wouldn’t take long before he’d improve qualitatively.
Martial Saint, for instance, is a classic case.
This kid used to be so annoying.
Now.
In terms of interpersonal skills, even adults can’t compete.
Of course.
During his Jinhai rotations, his progress is visible, though different positions teach different skills, but no department can teach you how to court and romance someone.
"Are you thinking or not?"
Seeing him silent for a while, Duan Xueying prompted.
"Thinking!"
Hong Xiaoyu steeled himself, his jaw muscles all tense, God knows the effort it took to utter this word.
"Say it."
"Eh?"
"Didn’t you say you’ve thought about who to pick up?"
"..."
Hong Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, feeling both relieved and disappointed.
He had clearly answered his girlfriend’s last question, not the first one.
However, the courage boost has a time limit, once it passes, it’s gone, he mumbled, unsure how to respond.
"Then let’s simplify the question. Guess, is it a man or a woman."
Duan Xueying seemed unaware of her boyfriend’s oddity, didn’t notice her own misunderstanding.
"Woman."
Hong Xiaoyu steadied his emotions.
Yes.
Discussing marriage now is premature.
"You’re quite accurate in guessing."
Duan Xueying commended while driving, giving full emotional support.
"Usually asking like this, guessing woman is always right."
"Then guess again, elder or child?"
"Neither."
Hong Xiaoyu immediately responded, appearing clairvoyant, "You’re setting a trap."
Duan Xueying laughed, "Getting more and more impressive."
"Should we buy something?"
Hong Xiaoyu asked, figuring if she asked him to join in picking someone up, it must be someone important.
"Probably not necessary."
"Who exactly is it?"
Hong Xiaoyu was curious.
Duan Xueying didn’t puzzle him any longer, simply two words.
"Sister-in-law."
"Ah?"
Hong Xiaoyu didn’t expect this, though his girlfriend was an only child, she did have many relatives, "Your sister-in-law?"
At a speed of 90 on the dial, Duan Xueying turned her head.
"Your sister-in-law."
