Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Chen Dongmei: I’m Going to Be a CEO’s Mother-in-Law?

"What the hell?"

Gu Yizhou stared dumbfoundedly at his mom on the video call.

Wait a minute.

She had just been nagging him to find a girlfriend and bring her home.

Now that he said there was a girl he was getting close to, she was telling him to find someone else.

What kind of stunt was his mom pulling now?

For a moment, Gu Yizhou couldn’t figure it out.

Just as he was pondering this, Chen Dongmei spoke again. "Son, you said your president has a thing for you, but the more I think about it, the more I feel like this whole thing is a bit unreliable!"

"I may not know much about your company, but she’s the president of such a huge corporation. Someone like you... what could she possibly see in you?"

Gu Yizhou was speechless.

Holy crap!

’So that’s what Mom was worried about!’

However, on second thought, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

’What does she mean, "what could the president of such a huge corporation possibly see in me"?’

’Seriously!’

’In my own mother’s eyes, am I really that worthless?’

"Mom, your son is pretty outstanding too, you know!"

Gu Yizhou said helplessly.

"Tch."

Chen Dongmei shot him a look and said with disdain, "You’re just a rookie intern who hasn’t even gotten his diploma yet. What’s so outstanding about you?"

"..."

"Mom, that’s a little insulting, you know!"

"I was already promoted to a full-time position ahead of schedule!"

"And because of my excellent performance, I was selected to join the ’CFA’ Professional Investment Analysis Team!"

Gu Yizhou retorted, looking indignant.

"You’re full-time already?"

Chen Dongmei was a little surprised. "And the ’CFA’ Professional Investment Analysis Team... what the heck is that?"

"The ’CFA’ Professional Investment Analysis Team is specifically responsible for analyzing major investment projects within the group!"

Gu Yizhou said smugly, "Only six people from the entire finance department were chosen for the analysis team, and your son is one of them!"

"The entire... ’CFA’ Professional Investment Analysis Team only has six people?"

Chen Dongmei was even more surprised now.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but smile as she watched Gu Yizhou’s smug expression while he bragged to his mom.

She found it hilarious.

’This damned man... he usually acts so mature, composed, and aloof.’

’I never thought he’d have such a childish side in front of his mom.’

’And another thing!’

’You damned man.’

’The only reason you got into this ’CFA’ Professional Investment Analysis Team is because of me, isn’t it?’

’Hmph.’

’Still, I wonder what he’d think if he ever found out that the entire analysis team was created just so I’d have an excuse to see him more often.’

’What would his reaction be?’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

"Besides, Mom, let me tell you, your son is now a car owner!"

Gu Yizhou took the opportunity to tell her he had a car.

This would save him from another lecture later when his mom found out.

"Get outta here..."

Chen Dongmei snapped back to reality and glared at him, saying irritably, "That beat-up old motorcycle of yours? Even a dog wouldn’t ride it!"

"Er..."

The expression on Gu Yizhou’s face froze for a second.

"Mom, you’ve just offended the entire motorcycling community with that!"

"You’d better not say that in public, you know. Or I’m afraid even Dad won’t be able to protect you!"

he said with a helpless look.

"Tch."

"I said what I said, and it’s true. Young people these days ride their motorcycles so fast, it’s like they’re afraid they’ll be late for their own reincarnation!"

"Riding a motorcycle is dangerous enough as it is. Can’t they just ride a little slower?!"

Chen Dongmei got worked up just talking about it.

Like mothers all over the world, she had been vehemently against it when she first found out Gu Yizhou had bought a motorcycle.

If it hadn’t been too late to return it, she would have dragged Gu Yizhou back to get a refund.

Honestly!

In the end, she only let Gu Yizhou off the hook after he repeatedly promised to ride slowly, not race on mountain roads or anything like that, and only use it for his daily commute.

"Uh..."

Hearing his mom’s words, Gu Yizhou couldn’t think of a rebuttal for a moment.

But he wasn’t angry.

After all, he knew his mom was just worried about him.

Her way of expressing it was just a little misguided, that’s all.

"Mom, I’m not talking about a motorcycle. I’m talking about a car, one with four wheels!"

Gu Yizhou said, "And I got it for free!"

"Four wheels?"

Chen Dongmei frowned. "And for free?"

"That’s right!"

Gu Yizhou nodded. "Because I did an outstanding job at work and helped the company avoid a huge loss, our president rewarded me with a car!"

Chen Dongmei was speechless.

At first, she hadn’t quite believed her son when he said his president was interested in him.

Now, she believed him.

Rewarding him with a car just for performing well.

’If she wasn’t really interested in him, why would she do something like that?!’

’This is basically just giving him a gift in disguise!’

She wasn’t as dense as her son.

Chen Dongmei immediately grasped the key point!

"From the way you put it, your president really does treat you differently from everyone else."

She glanced at her son and said with a meaningful tone.

Gu Yizhou didn’t notice his mom’s look and said casually, "Exactly. So, Mom, you can stop nagging me about finding a girlfriend. I know what I’m doing!"

"I know, I know!"

Chen Dongmei shot him a glare.

"Hehe~"

Seeing his mom agree to stop nagging him, Gu Yizhou broke into a goofy grin.

This prompted Chen Dongmei on the video call to roll her eyes repeatedly.

"But, what’s your president’s personality and temper like?"

Chen Dongmei thought for a moment and asked again, "Hmm... if you two really get together, wouldn’t that make me your president’s mother-in-law?"

Good grief!

’Nothing’s even remotely close to happening yet!’

’And here you are, already thinking about being a mother-in-law and how to handle that relationship?’

Gu Yizhou was stunned.

He shook his head with a helpless smile. "Mom, don’t you worry!"

"President Yan might come from a wealthy family, but she’s also highly educated. She has a lot of class and is pretty easy to get along with!"

"But..."

Gu Yizhou hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Her personality is a little... cool and distant. You might find it a bit hard to get used to at first."

"But that’s no big deal. From what I’ve observed, she seems to be the type who’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside."

"Cold on the outside, warm on the inside, huh!"

"Ah, well, that’s fine. As long as she’s a good person, that’s what matters!"

"At least she shouldn’t be the type to look down on our family. After all, the difference in our families’ social status is huge."

Chen Dongmei said.

Suddenly.

Gu Yizhou realized something.

Wait a minute!

’How did we get onto the topic of families and marriage discussions?’

’Nothing is even close to happening between us!’

’Yan Luoxi doesn’t even know about any of this.’

’I’m just making it all up!’

And with that, Gu Yizhou quickly tried to stop the conversation...
