The meal was as sumptuous and delicious as ever, but Xu Xintong couldn't get enough of it. The Shao family ate very quietly. There were only the occasional small sounds from the utensils in the restaurant, but there was no conversation. This has always been the habit of the two elders of the Shao family, naturally.
It also made a pair of children accustomed to it, especially in front of their parents. Shao Junyan made full use of this habit.
It's not because she can't talk while eating. In fact, she is a relatively quiet person, so she doesn't feel awkward because of this. But, for some reason, Xu Xintong always feels that Mrs. Shao always pays too much attention to herself, and often
When she lowered her head to eat, she could feel a sharp gaze looking straight at her, piercing her back like a ray of light.
Shao Junyan was as meticulous as usual and prepared a lot of her favorite dishes for her, but Xu Xintong had no appetite. However, thinking that she could not refute his face, she still forced herself to eat.
After dinner, the two elders of the Shao family separated the two very cleverly. Shao Junyan was called to the study by his father to play chess with him, while Xu Xintong naturally drank tea with Mrs. Shao. Thinking that this was what the two elders of the Shao family had thought about early in the morning
A good expedient, Xu Xintong couldn't help but smile inwardly. She didn't know what Shao Junyan's mother was going to talk to her about. Maybe she was really emotional and cared about it, and she felt nervous.
"Ms. Xu, I heard... you are Qiyou's chief secretary? Not only are you capable of working, but Qiyou appreciates you very much. You are also one of the shareholders of Guan. Is that so?" How much had Shao Junyan's mother drank?
Taking a sip of tea, he put down the cup and asked casually.
"No, my aunt praised me. Being able to serve as President Guan's secretary is entirely because of his trust. Xintong, the so-called shareholder, doesn't dare to be a shareholder. I only have a small share, that's all." Xu Xintong answered very modestly.
"Haha, Miss Xu, you are too modest. I have heard about your abilities for a long time. Junyan also said that you are very good. As far as I know, the top spot in the secretarial industry in Hong Kong is none other than you. You
There's really no need to be too modest." Old Mrs. Shao smiled faintly, but the expression on her face still didn't change much, making people a little unpredictable.
"No, no, Auntie, I'm really not as good as you said. I'm just doing my best. I never thought about being the first." Xu Xintong smiled and lowered her head.
"Well, I know. Everything Miss Xu has today is achieved through her own efforts. I admire this very much." Old Mrs. Shao did not speak with flattering words, but she quickly changed the subject, "But
, Miss Xu, to be the young mistress of the Shaw family, I do not require her to be capable. I even hope that she is not a professional woman. As long as she has a good background, is kind and virtuous, and can run the family and take care of Junyan, it is enough." Old Mrs. Shao
After a pause, he continued: "Of course there is no need to say more about Miss Xu's work ability, but...being a wife and mother is not as good as working. I wonder what Miss Xu's plans are?"
"Uh... Auntie, when I was in junior high school, I came to Hong Kong to study. I lived independently and I could do housework. It is a woman's duty to take care of her husband and children. I understand this and will try my best to do it well.
"
Shao's mother raised her eyebrows and raised her voice slightly, "Ms. Xu, I think you didn't understand what I meant. In fact, being the daughter-in-law of the Shao family does not require you to do housework. There are many servants in the Shao family, so it's not your turn.
Master, take action. It’s just... I don’t like my daughter-in-law to be in public all day long, working hard in an office building to earn a few salaries. Although your salary is not low, our Shao family spends a lot of this money. If you marry Junyan
, I hope you can quit this job and be the young mistress of the Shao family with peace of mind, otherwise, it will not be suitable for the Shao family and Yu Junyan."
