I Found A Planet - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: 154

“Mom, why doesn’t Su Yun come to our home anymore? She seemed to have stopped visiting for a long time . ” During meal time, Chen Jin opened his hand and counted on his fingers . He realized that Su Yun had stopped coming to his home for half a month .

Yesterday, Mom had explained that Su Yun had more or less finished learning the accounting knowledge that she had come to learn from her . She would not be visiting so frequently anymore . He did not know why, but his heart felt a little empty, as if there was something missing . Hence, he could not help but repeat his question again .

“What? She has almost finished learning what she was supposed to learn from me . You still want her to come to our place every day?” Rolling her eyes at her blockheaded son, she thought that his speed of response was way too slow . Su Yun had stopped coming here for almost a month and he was only starting to talk about it now? His slow and dumb behavior disheartened her . He was presented with such a good lady, yet he actually remained indifferent . Is your standard too high, or are my tastes too low?

However, his response today finally allowed her to recover some of her confidence . Silently, she approved . I manipulated the scenes for such a long time; it’s impossible that there would be no results!

This fellow could not remain entirely indifferent . As to why Su Yun had stopped visiting, He Li, with a similarly sensitive personality, knew the reason . She felt inferior . A sense of inferiority so great that she could not bear it anymore . It was the cause of her lack of courage to visit their home again .

He Li’s son was too outstanding . “Wealth” magazine estimated that his personal worth was more than 18 billion . The magazine also predicted that this number would exceed 80 billion within two years . He would rise to become one of the top 10 billionaires in the country; the rate at which his riches were multiplying was beyond one’s imagination . He had created two types of products . One had brought convenience into millions of households, and the other had transformed the education of the entire Z country . The two products had a deep and significant impact on the future of the country; both were worthy of applause . They brought about positive and wonderful impacts that were highly admirable .

Faced with such a high-achiever, even He Li herself had started to develop an inferiority complex . She frequently asked herself, “Is this really the son that came from me?” Why did she always feel like she was in a dream? He Li could totally understand how Su Yun was unable to find the courage to come again . He Li even noticed that Su Yun had become even quieter at work . Nowadays, she did not like to talk and would always hold her head down . Su Yun’s gaze would also skitter away when she saw He Li . The relationship between the two had gradually become less intimate and more distant . An invisible barrier had grown between them .

He Li was very clear about the reasons behind her behavior and she expressed her understanding . Recently, she noticed that her subordinate was smiling more . He Li called her into the office for a heart-to-heart talk and enquired if something happy had happened to her . Su Yun did not hide the facts . She explained, “My parents and my younger siblings will be coming to Shang Hai to visit me . It’s been so long . This is their first time coming to such a big city for a vacation . I want to bring them around . ” She was smiling throughout the conversation .

He Li said, “Ok, since they came all the way here to see you, you should bring them around . How about this, I’ll give you two days of leave . You can let go of your work a little . The city is so big; make more time to take your parents around for some sightseeing . ”

“Thank you so much, Manager!” Su Yun was pleasantly surprised . Originally, she could only use the weekend off to bring her family around . With the Manager’s help, she could have more time with her parents .

He Li smiled . “Silly child, you don’t have to stand on ceremony with me . ” The longer she looked at this filial and sensible child, the more she liked her . Why was her stupid son so tasteless?

…

At the dining table, He Li heard her son ask about Su Yun for the second time . He Li’s mind operated quickly and she suddenly came up with an idea . She said, “Son, Su Yun’s parents will be coming to Shang Hai city to visit her soon . They will be vacationing for a few days here as well . Su Yun doesn’t have a car . Her parents will be taking the high-speed rail over a long distance . They will be travel-worn and its inconvenient without a car . They are a big family; they have to arrange for meals, accommodations, and a tour guide to take them around a city . It’s all very inconvenient without a car . Su Yun’s family will be coming over tomorrow . How about this, son; take that big Benz of yours and fetch them from the high-speed rail station . After that, you can take them out for a meal, arrange their accommodation, and bring them around for some fun for a few days . Show your goodwill as a landlord . ” He Li looked at him . “Son, Su Yun had at least helped your mother to prepare the meals two times and washed some dishes . Can you help me with this little favor?”

Suddenly, Chen Gang started coughing, almost choking on his rice . He looked at his wife doubtfully . Your son is now worth billions; he’s a famous public figure, a VIP in science and tech circles, yet you want him to fetch some ordinary peasants? Of course, he did not say this out loud . He merely thought it in his mind . Moreover, he felt that with Chen Jin’s personality, he probably would not go .

However, he immediately heard something that surprised him . Chen Jin agreed, “Ok, Mom . I can fetch them in my car tomorrow . ” Lately, he was not busy at all . He stayed home nearly every day; he had so much free time . It was good to find something to do outside so that he could at least breathe in some fresh air .

These days, Yuan Li did ask him out many times . She even sent him photos of herself in skimpy, revealing clothes in the guise of trying them out, asking if he liked the clothes . She said that she only wore them for him, that there was even “better” clothing; would he like to know more about those? However, Chen Jin replied saying that he was busy .

He did quickly agree to Mom’s request though .

“Good, son . You’ve helped me with a huge favor . ” He Li was very pleased, grinning from ear to ear .

…

The 18th of July was a Friday . It was 4:30 pm, and there was still half an hour left until Su Yun clocked out . Sitting in her seat, she started to feel distracted . She had finished her work tasks a long time ago . Now, she was anxiously waiting to clock out . However, she did not dare to leave earlier . She was afraid of leaving a bad impression on her colleagues and the higher-ups, and people would gossip behind her back . She could only look at the time on her watch as each second and minute passed, feeling the time getting longer .

She wanted to leave earlier because the traffic in the city would become congested after 5 pm . She would be hit with peak congestion after she fetched her family from the rail station and returned to the city . Even if she called a cab, there was no guarantee that she could return to her dormitory by 8 pm . Then, she would have to arrange for her parents to stay in the family-sized room in the dorm before she could finally rest .

Finally, it was 5 pm on the dot! Turning off her computer, she hurried to the ground floor . Not even bothering to return to her dorm for a change of clothes, she planned to call a cab straightaway and go to the high-speed rail station .

At the ground floor of the Tax Bureau, she was the first to exit . Taking out her mobile phone, she prepared to call a cab . Just as she walked to the roadside, she heard a voice ringing out, “Su Yun!”

Turning her head, she was stumped . Him? What was he doing here?

Chen Jin silently measured Su Yun . She was wearing a navy suit with a blue blouse and a red tie . On her head was a hat with a curled brim . There was a badge on the center of the hat . Her uniform also consisted of epaulets, shoulder badges, collar badges, chest emblems, buttons, and other accessories . A standard look for a tax officer . She had tied her hair back in a ponytail, looking very capable and skilled . Her image brightened one’s eyes .

Chen Jin said, “Get in my car, I’ll take you to fetch your family . ”

On the contrary, Su Yun was so shocked that she took a few steps back . Lowering her face, she shook her head . “No… that’s not necessary . You’re busy . I can call a cab to fetch them . ”

“My Mom told me to come over and help . Stop dithering and get in the car!” Chen Jin took two steps over and pulled her hand . He opened the door with the other hand and gently pushed her inside . After telling her to put on her seat belt, Chen Jin started the car . Sitting in the front passenger seat, Su Yun found it hard to breathe as her face heated up .

Spotting this scene, Li Xiao Lan, who was Su Yun’s work partner, dorm mate, and good friend was astonished . “Since when did Su Yun get a boyfriend?”

In the Tax Bureau, standing at a window on the ground floor, He Li gazed at the departing car . With a deep hooded look, she said in a low voice, “Little Su, you should be satisfied with the performance of my silly boy today . ”
