Xie Shuyao's gaze fell on the pile of gifts on the sofa, and she asked curiously, "Did the Lu family give you all of these?"

"Yes," Ming Nianxi nodded with a smile, lifting her wrist to reveal the jade bracelet on it.

"Look at this bracelet, it was a gift from my aunt, she said it was a token of our friendship."

Xie Shuyao leaned closer and examined it carefully, her eyes lighting up: "My goodness, this bracelet is so beautiful! It looks incredibly valuable!"

Ming Nianxi hesitated for a moment before trying to take the bracelet off: "It's just too precious. I feel it's not good to wear it, and I'm afraid I might accidentally break it."

Xie Shuyao quickly pressed her hand to stop her: "Don't take it, don't take it. It's a gift for you, so just wear it."

"Besides, this bracelet is of such high quality that it looks fake, and no one will believe it. You can wear it without worry."

Ming Nianxi thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so she nodded: "That seems to be true."

At this moment, Ming Nianyao picked up an exquisite box from the side and handed it to Xie Shuyao.

He said happily, "This...this is for you."

Ming Nianxi smiled and shook her head, holding up one finger to indicate: "It's one million and one thousand."

Xie Shuyao's eyes widened, and she hugged Ming Nianxi tightly, exclaiming dramatically, "My God! Xixi, quickly give me Lu Boyi's contact information, I want to go and hook up with him!"

"Whether the man likes me or not doesn't matter. The main thing is that I love this mother-in-law! She only visited once, and she's already given me so much. I probably wouldn't earn this much money in my entire life. I don't want to work anymore!"

Ming Nianxi laughed heartily at her joke and patted her back, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll help you make the connection."

The two laughed together, the air filled with the relaxed and comfortable feeling of best friends.

As she was laughing, Ming Nianxi's phone rang. It was Lu Boyi calling, saying he was already downstairs in the apartment complex and wanted her and Xie Shuyao to have dinner together.

Xie Shuyao quickly waved her hand and refused with a smile, "No, no, you go ahead, I won't be a third wheel. We can do it together next time."

Ming Nianxi hesitated for a moment: "Ah? Let's go together, it'll be more fun with more people."

"No, no," Xie Shuyao pushed her towards the door, "You go ahead and keep Boyi company. I'll just eat something at home."

Ming Nianxi had no choice but to agree: "Alright then, I'll treat you to something delicious next time."

The next morning, Lu Boyi drove to pick up Ming Nianxi to go to the company together.

The two walked into the office one after the other, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Her colleagues all stared at Ming Nianxi, their eyes filled with curiosity and surprise.

No one dared to ask her directly where she had been these past few days, but everyone could clearly sense that she had changed a lot.

—Some of her colleagues recognized the brand of the clothes she was wearing, while others did not, but it was clear that the quality and style were completely different from what she used to wear.

What's most eye-catching is the bag in her hand; although it's not a top-tier luxury brand, it still costs over 20,000 yuan.

This is simply not something that Ming Nianxi, an intern, can afford.

In addition, she had taken a few days off before, and Lu Boyi had also taken leave at the same time. Everyone was secretly guessing, but no one dared to ask her directly.

However, in the eyes of most colleagues, the two just happened to take leave at the same time, and no one connected them.

Everyone felt that the two best-looking people in the department seemed to be "kept" by someone, otherwise how could they suddenly become so wealthy?

Ming Nianxi felt the probing gazes of her colleagues and instantly understood how Lu Boyi had felt at the company before.

The feeling of being talked about and speculated about behind one's back is truly unpleasant.

She sighed helplessly to herself: Well, being misunderstood as being kept by a sugar daddy is better than being rumored to be dating Lu Boyi.

After all, they haven't officially announced their relationship yet, and if their colleagues gossip about it, it will only cause more trouble.

On the other side, Lu Boyi walked into Lu Cheng's office, casually found a seat, and took a sip of tea from the table.

Lu Cheng looked up at him and asked in a calm tone, "I heard from your mother that you brought your girlfriend back to the capital?"

Lu Boyi nodded: "Yes, I went back and stayed for a few days."

Lu Cheng put down the documents in his hand, raised an eyebrow and said, "Why didn't you bring her to me? As her father, I haven't even met my future daughter-in-law yet."

Lu Boyi put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Shouldn't we let Mother take a look first? If Mother is satisfied, you will definitely be satisfied too."

Lu Cheng: That seems to be true.

However, the family still cares a lot about the eldest son's wife, and values ​​her even more, after all, she is the future matriarch of the family.

Lu Cheng pursed his lips, not bothering to argue with him, and instead asked, "How are you doing in the marketing department? Are you settling in?"

When work was mentioned, Lu Boyi's face immediately darkened, and his tone was tinged with dissatisfaction: "I'm not used to it at all, the atmosphere is terrible."

"I'm a high-achieving student who returned from studying abroad, and they're actually making me do all the dirty and tiring work, pushing all the dirty and hard jobs onto me."

"Moreover, there is too much nepotism in the company. Many people don't have much ability and just rely on their connections to get by. They can't do their jobs properly at all."

Lu Cheng nodded, his tone still calm: "Yes, I know."

Lu Boyi was stunned for a moment, looking at him with some disbelief: "That's it? No further developments? Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Lu Cheng looked up at him, a meaningful glint in his eyes: "Otherwise what? These problems were meant for you to handle. If I solve everything for you, what will you learn when you take over the company in the future?"

Lu Boyi looked at him, his lips twitching, and thought to himself: Thank you, my dear father, you really took the phrase "training me" to the extreme.
