Chapter 11 Encounter in the restaurant
"Mom and Dad, why are you here at this hour?"

Father Chen and Mother Chen looked at each other, and then Mother Chen said, "Isn't it all about you?"

Chen Xiao was confused. What’s wrong with me?
"You're already 25 and still single. Your dad and I are so worried! Look, your Aunt Wang has a neighbor's daughter who's about your age. She's said to be beautiful, so let's try to match you two up."

Chen Xiao said helplessly, "What era is this? We're still on blind dates. Besides, I'm 25, not 52. Is it really necessary to be so anxious?"

Mother Chen glared at her and said, "You kid, do you know how to talk? I'm telling you, several of my colleagues at work are about my age and they all have grandchildren. You should stand up for me!"

Chen Xiao sighed and said, "It's not easy to have a grandchild. Even if we don't get married now, the child we have can still be registered!"

His joke startled Chen's mother. "How could you have such thoughts, child? You've only been in society for a few years and you've already learned bad habits. Look at you, can you do this without someone watching you?"

"Okay, Xiaoxiao, I came here with your mom this time mainly because the girl your Aunt Wang introduced me to requires the man to own a house and a car in Jiangzhou, so we came to discuss it with you. We're going to use our savings over the years to pay off the mortgage for you first, and then we'll slowly pay off the mortgage later!"

The current housing prices in Jiangzhou are basically above RMB 3 per square meter. For ordinary working-class people, this means almost having to use their life savings to pay a down payment for their children, and then sending their children to become house slaves for 20 years.

Chen's father and mother were worried that their son didn't have a house in Jiangzhou and it would be difficult for him to find a wife in the future, so they wanted to come here as soon as possible to help their son solve the housing issue.

Chen Xiao knew that his parents probably didn't save much money in their entire lives, not to mention that now that he had a system, houses and other things were not a problem at all. Even before, he was not going to be a parasite. His parents had worked hard all their lives and it was time for them to enjoy themselves. Their children should no longer be a burden to them.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry about me. I'm doing well at work now. I even closed a deal yesterday and got a bonus of hundreds of thousands!"

Chen's father and mother looked at each other in bewilderment. Hundreds of thousands? The couple had only saved a few hundred thousand in their entire lives, and this kid said he earned hundreds of thousands yesterday.

How could they know that Chen Xiao had not yet taken into account the rewards added by the system.

After confirming it again and again, Chen's mother said happily, "I've always said that our Chen Xiao has been outstanding since he was young. He's handsome and kind-hearted. He's bound to make a name for himself. He's only a little kid, and he's already making hundreds of thousands!"

Father Chen also laughed heartily and said, "Xiaoxiao has always been great. Now we can buy a bigger house!"

Well, I’m stuck inside the house and can’t get out.

"Dad, Mom, please believe in me and give me a year. If I can't buy a house on my own, I'll ask you to support me partly then. Right now, I still want to rely on myself!"

Chen Xiao is using a delaying tactic. If he can't buy a house in a year, he can just buy a piece of tofu and kill himself!
He had a small apartment, but he hadn't mentioned it yet, otherwise it would be difficult to explain where the money came from.

Finally, Father Chen made the decision and said, "Okay, Xiaoxiao is older now and has her own ideas. Let's not buy the house for now. We'll talk to your Aunt Wang. If you two get along well, we can buy the house anytime!"

Chen's mother also continued: "That's fine, but Chen Xiao, you have to meet that girl next week. You have to seize the opportunity. It's not easy to meet a good girl nowadays."

After having dinner with his parents and sending them back to the hotel, Chen Xiao returned to his residence at around 23pm. He remembered that he had not yet paid back the money owed to the other party. The other party probably defined him as untrustworthy. After all, the property management lady had already described this image of him very vividly yesterday!

He wanted to knock on her door to return the money, but he felt it was inappropriate. She must have gone to bed by this time. He thought it would be better to give it to her tomorrow morning when they met. After taking a shower and lying in bed, his mother kept sending him messages, teaching him the secrets of blind dates. This made Chen Xiao very confused. Didn't his parents have a free love relationship in the first place? Where did they get the experience? Thinking about it again, he suddenly realized that his mother must have watched too many plots in TV dramas. No wonder her moves were so familiar.

After this chat, he slept late again. The next day was Saturday, so Chen Xiao woke up at 10 o'clock. After washing up, he went to knock on the door opposite, but no one came for a long time. He guessed that the person had gone out.

At noon, Wang Jing called to ask Chen Xiao to have lunch. It was almost 12 o'clock, so he went out to keep the appointment. The lunch location was Wansheng Plaza, not far from the company!
After Wang Jing resigned from Dr. Feng Robot, he heard that the company's financial problems had been solved, so he had the idea of ​​coming back again. He asked Chen Xiao out today to find out the truth.

Chen Xiao felt ashamed of his behavior. You run away when the company is in trouble, and come back when the company is doing well!

No company is short of such a person.

But as a colleague, Chen Xiao also knew what to talk about, and it was not up to Wang Jing to decide whether to go back or not, or whether he could go back or not.

This Sichuan restaurant was doing good business; it was already full at noon. Wang Jing enthusiastically poured Chen Xiao a glass of watermelon juice and said with a smile, "Brother, how are you and Yuan Kai getting along?"

Chen Xiao laughed: "It's still the same as always, don't mention him!"

To be honest, Yuan Kai has no way to deal with him at the moment. After all, he brought 500 million orders to the company, and this order is the company's life-saving money. From this point of view, Yuan Kai cannot have any influence on Chen Xiao in the company.

"Brother, do you think I should go back now?"

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "It depends on what you think. The company is still in a difficult situation right now. Although the funding problem has eased, research and development, as you know, can sometimes be a bottomless pit. You never know when it will be effective!"

Wang Jing nodded and said, "Yes, but it's not easy to find a job outside nowadays. Mr. Feng is very friendly to his employees and is willing to give newcomers a chance!"

That's true. Since the employee voluntarily resigned, Feng Feifei gave compensation under such difficult circumstances. This person can be called a conscientious entrepreneur. If such a person's company can grow bigger, it will definitely be a good thing to follow her.

"By the way, brother, I heard that starting next month, the salary will be reduced to 4000. Is that certain?"

Chen Xiao nodded. Feng Feifei had already confirmed this and would definitely not change her mind overnight.

"Huh? It's so low! After paying the rent, I'll barely have enough money left for food. From now on, I can only smoke cigarettes that cost 5 yuan a pack!"

Chen Xiao said: "So you should think carefully about it. Of course, the commission has increased now, but our business still mainly depends on the commission, right?"

"Hey, Chen Xiao, look, there's a beauty next to you. She's so damn beautiful, much prettier than any big star. She's so charming. She's been glancing over here a few times!"

Chen Xiao looked in the direction he pointed and was stunned for a moment. The person sitting next to him was actually his neighbor in Hairun Mansion!
