That afternoon, Ao Rui received a call from her mother.
"Arui, are you free tonight?" Zhu Surong asked.
"Is something wrong?" Ao Rui asked while doing his work.
"It's nothing special. I just want to have a casual meal with you. If you have time, come over after get off work. Of course, if you don't have time, then come another day." Zhu Surong is very considerate of her son. She will not treat him because of herself. She forced him to miss her.
Ao Rui was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to his mother's request. "Okay, I will go there after get off work." He knew what his mother meant.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home." Zhu Surong was full of expectations.
After Ao Rui hung up the phone, he immediately dialed the number of his secretary Deng Ying and gave a simple and concise order: "Help me cancel the dinner party with Mr. Zheng tonight."
"Yes, general manager." Although Deng Ying was confused about her boss's decision, as a subordinate, she could only obey her boss's orders.
"Also, order a pot of orchids for me right now and prepare them for me before get off work." His mother likes orchids very much. He hasn't visited her for a long time, so this can be regarded as a kind gesture.
"Okay, general manager, I'll get to it right away." Deng Ying said respectfully.
Ao Rui hung up the phone and continued to concentrate on her work.
As soon as the off-duty time came, Deng Ying walked into his office holding the just-delivered orchids, walked up to him softly, and said respectfully: "General manager, these are the orchids you asked for. They have been delivered."
"Okay, leave it alone." Ao Rui didn't even raise his head, still reviewing the unfinished documents.
"General manager, Mr. Deng called just now to ask when you are free. He wants to invite you to play golf," Deng Ying said.
Ao Rui looked up at Deng Ying and said, "Please help me see if I have time tomorrow. If not, I can only push it back."
"I've checked it out for you. There is no free time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so we can only postpone it until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." Her boss's schedule is very tight, and Deng Ying knows it better than anyone else.
"Then it will be the day after tomorrow." Ao Rui said.
"Okay, general manager. Then, I'll get off work first." Deng Ying was about to leave.
"go."
Deng Ying nodded and quietly retreated.
Ao Rui continued to review the documents until six o'clock, when the work in his hand was finally completed. So he held the orchid and rushed to his mother's apartment.
At the door, Ao Rui smelled the aroma of food coming from his mother's apartment. Every time his mother invited him to dinner, she would prepare a large table of his favorite dishes for him. Her cooking skills were better than those of chefs in star-rated restaurants.
Be good.
After he pressed the doorbell, his mother came out wearing an apron and opened the door with a smile. When she saw her son, her face was filled with deep joy and she said with a smile: "Come in, the food will be ready."
Ao Rui handed the orchid to her mother. "This is your favorite orchid."
Zhu Surong took it and showed a beautiful smile like an orchid. "Thank you, I like it very much."
"As long as you like it." Ao Rui smiled lightly.
Then, the mother and son went in.
Ao Rui helped carry the bowls and chopsticks. After all the dishes were served, he realized that his mother had made a Manchu-Han banquet for him. "Mom, why waste so much? The two of us can't finish so many dishes."
"We haven't had dinner together for a long time. Let's eat slowly. If we can't finish it, I will continue eating tomorrow." Zhu Surong pulled out the chair and sat down.
"Eating food overnight is not healthy." He was a little touched.
"It doesn't matter once and a half." She smiled tolerantly.
Ao Rui also sat down from the dining table and faced his mother. He first picked up a piece of Gongfu chicken and put it in his mouth. After a while, he sighed with satisfaction. "Mom's cooking is the best for me."
"Eat more if you like it." Zhu Surong smiled happily.
"Yeah." He could only respond lightly with food in his mouth.
"Arui, I heard from your father that you will be the president of the Ao Group in the near future." Zhu Surong put down the chopsticks in her hands and asked her son seriously.
The expression on Ao Rui's face was very light. "Yes."
"Have you been having a hard time these days?" she asked with concern.
He said: "No." His father is the president in name only, and all the affairs of the company have been given full management and responsibility to him. His title is general manager, but in reality he has long been the president.
"A Rui, you have to be careful about the people around you." Zhu Surong reminded.
"Why did mom say that?" Ao Rui asked knowingly.
Zhu Surong picked up the bowl and chopsticks, stared at her son, and said softly: "Sometimes the people around you are plotting against you. They know everything about you, so it will be much easier to kill you."
"Yes." He responded calmly. He naturally did not neglect everything his mother was worried about.
Zhu Surong lowered her head and put a piece of green vegetable into her mouth, chewed it silently, and after swallowing it, she raised her head to face her son and said softly to him: "Last time your father called me, he said he hoped you would get married as soon as possible." She said.
Looking at her son carefully, she knew that he didn't know how to talk about this kind of topic.
"Yeah." Same tone, same cold attitude.
Zhu Surong frowned deeply. In her heart, she hoped that her son would marry a suitable woman and have children, because a person was too lonely, but she could not force her own ideas on her son.
After a while, Zhu Surong tried her best to smile and said to her son: "Arui, I remember you haven't been in love for a long time."
Ao Rui's only relationship was when he was 18 years old. He went to study abroad and was forced to break up with his girlfriend. Since then, he has never been in love again.
"Because I have never met the right person." He said simply and concisely.
His status is too prominent, and women's desire for him is nothing more than his status and wealth. He is busy with official duties, so naturally he cannot spare any extra time to carefully select the woman he thinks is right. When it comes to marriage, he just wants to let nature take its course.
.
"If you meet the right person, will you get married?" Zhu Surong watched intently, expecting his reaction.
"Besides, I may not meet the right person." Ao Rui said lightly, his handsome face as calm as water.
Zhu Surong suppressed the sadness in her eyes and silently lowered her head to eat her rice.
Ao Rui also lowered his head to eat.
After a few minutes of silence, Zhu Surong looked for a topic to break the embarrassment and silence. "By the way, don't you have a villa by the river? Last time I went there to visit a friend, I accidentally bumped into Deng Ying and your woman. I
I quite like that girl."
"You mean Monroe?" Ao Rui was very confused. His mother never asked questions about his women.
"So her name is Monroe." Zhu Surong smiled.
"Monroe is indeed very good." Ao Rui said.
"Her eyes are very special. When I look into the depths of her pupils, I seem to see a fairyland, because they are so clear and pure. And her smile is reserved and elegant, just like a lady. Her eyes and
Her smile was incompatible with her charming appearance. When I first saw her, I felt that she gave people a very contradictory and abrupt feeling. Maybe it was for this reason that she successfully attracted me." Zhu Surong carefully recalled the first time.
Use the most appropriate adjective to describe the scene when you meet Ruotong.
Ao Rui didn't expect that his mother would praise her woman like this. However, his view of Monroe coincided with his mother's. When Monroe came to the company to ask him to take responsibility, he was also struck by her abruptness and contradiction.
Attracted by his temperament.
"She is indeed special. No wonder you like her so much." Zhu Surong smiled.
"Mom may not know that she is the woman who saved my life." Ao Rui said casually.
"Really?" Zhu Surong was very surprised.
"Didn't she mention it to you?"
"No."
Ao Rui secretly laughed. Monroe actually gained her mother's favor without her knowledge. She is getting more and more extraordinary. "Next time you have time, take her to my place for tea. I already invited her last time."
." Zhu Surong reminded her son that she should treat her son's savior well.
Her mother actually invited her to her house for tea. It seemed that her mother liked her more than usual. But what puzzled Ao Rui was that Monroe could show off in front of him because of her mother's love for her.
Erjiao, but why didn’t she say a word about this matter?
