Career Rising Stage
"Xiao Mo, you must be tired from driving all this way. Come upstairs to eat; everything is ready."
Second Aunt, holding a bottle of soybean oil, looked at Chen Mo.
"Second Aunt, I won't eat. Dinner is already prepared at home."
Chen Mo shook his head, refusing, and at the same time, opened the car door and got in.
"Alright, then I won't keep you. Come visit tomorrow if you have time!"
Second Aunt thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
"Chen… Mo, goodbye."
Song Xia also waved her hand, but she paused after saying "Chen" before continuing.
When she came back, Mr. Chen had already instructed her not to reveal anything about Tomorrow Group.
She almost let it slip just now.
Chen Mo glanced indifferently at Song Xia, then started the car and drove away.
However, he didn't go straight home. Instead, he went to his maternal aunt's house to deliver the gifts he had just bought.
After some persuasion, he finally drove straight to his own home.
He slowly parked the car in the parking lot downstairs in the residential area.
As soon as he got out of the car, he felt the gazes of the grandpas and grandmas cooling off in the distance.
He secretly thought he was careless; why did he park the car in this spot again?
"Xiao Mo, you're back."
"Xiao Mo, didn't you bring a girlfriend back?"
"This car must cost a lot."
"…"
Listening to the greetings from the grandpas and grandmas, Chen Mo quickly responded a couple of times, then carried his luggage and quickly walked into the unit door.
He knew that if he got entangled with these grandpas and grandmas, there was no telling what they would drag him into talking about.
Arriving upstairs,
He looked at his home's Room door and gently knocked.
Not long after, the Room door opened, and a scent of food wafted into his nose.
"Son, you're back! Why didn't you say something when you were downstairs? I would have had your dad pick you up! Come in quickly, you're just in time, the food is freshly made."
"Oh dear, why did you buy these gifts again? Didn't I tell you not to Ran money?"
His mother muttered as she took the luggage from Chen Mo's hand.
At this moment, his father also walked over, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "You came back via the highway."
As he spoke,
He took the luggage from his other hand.
"Yes, via the highway."
Chen Mo nodded slightly, changed into a pair of slippers, and walked inside.
"Quickly wash up. You've been driving all this way and must be tired. Rest after you eat."
His mother followed behind him, talking incessantly.
"It's fine. I rested at the service area, so I don't feel very tired."
Chen Mo said as he walked into the bathroom, smiling slightly at the new towel prepared for him in the bathroom.
After washing up,
He came to the dining table. Looking at the table full of dishes, most of them were his favorites.
"Here, have a piece of braised pork."
His mother said, picking up a piece of braised pork with more lean meat and placing it in his bowl.
Chen Mo looked at the braised pork in his bowl, ate it in one bite, and then took a large mouthful of rice.
"Come, have some more of this. This is delicious…"
After a while,
Mr. Chen rubbed his stomach. It had been a long time since he felt so full.
For some reason,
The food his parents made was definitely not as delicious as what the five-star chefs at Tomorrow Cafeteria made, but he found his mother's cooking more appetizing.
"Xiao Mo, do you have a partner this year, or have you met a suitable girl?"
Yang Xiulian hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke, looking at Chen Mo sitting at the dining table.
"Not yet. Why, Mom?"
Chen Mo immediately felt a bad premonition. He had only just graduated not long ago, and he was already facing this problem.
He couldn't imagine if he came home a few years later, would he be constantly pressured to get married?
He used to think that the matter of being pressured to marry was still very far away from him, but now he saw that it was gradually approaching.
"Why aren't you anxious at all? Time passes so quickly! If you wait too long, all the good girls will be snatched away by others."
"Aren't I in the rising period of my career? I'll focus on finding a partner once things stabilize."
Chen Mo casually found an excuse.
As for dating, he had thought about it, but now, because of the system, he felt it was better to convert more personal assets.
If he really found a partner, with prolonged contact, the fact that he had a system or intentionally wanted to incur losses would likely be at risk of exposure.
Therefore,
He had always avoided excessive contact with girls or pursuing them.
Rising period of his career!
Listening to his son's words, Yang Xiulian immediately thought of the Old Shen family's child that Aunt Wang mentioned.
That child didn't date because he was in the rising period of his career, and now he's over 30 and still doesn't have a partner.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. What if Xiao Mo couldn't find a partner even when he was over 30?
Thinking of this,
She couldn't help but say anxiously,
"Dating? Date when you have time! If you don't have time to meet girls, I do have a candidate here. She's from the neighboring village, two years older than you, she's a white-collar worker, and she can earn over ten thousand a month."
"And here's her photo. Take a look, she's quite pretty."
"This girl is also coming back in the next couple of days. You can meet then and see if you have a connection."
Yang Xiulian said as she took out her phone, found the photo, and placed it in front of Chen Mo.
Listening to his mother's words, Chen Mo's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He thought his mother was just asking casually, but he never expected that it had already progressed to the point of arranging a blind date.
His gaze fell on the photo on the phone. Judging by the photo alone,
She did look quite good, but he currently had no intention of dating.
He thought for a moment, then looked up at his mother.
"Mom, I currently have no intention of dating. I want to focus on my career for another one to two years."
"Dating doesn't hinder your career. You can date while also focusing on your career."
His mother said persistently.
"Then I'll consider it. I'm a bit sleepy from driving, so I'll go take a nap."
Chen Mo looked at his mother's serious expression and knew that even if he continued to talk, it wouldn't lead to any result.
"You just said you weren't sleepy."
"Maybe Mom's cooking is too delicious. I got sleepy after eating."
Chen Mo pretended to yawn widely, then walked towards the Room.
Facing this situation, he currently had only one way to deal with it:
That is… the thirty-six stratagems, the best strategy is to run!
"You child!"
His mother sighed helplessly but didn't say anything more.
"Oh dear, why are you so anxious? You probably scared the child."
Chen Jingrui picked up the empty plates after eating.
"Wasn't I anxious?"
Yang Xiulian said unhappily.
"Our son lacks nothing. How could he not find a partner? You're just worrying for nothing."
"The key is that he's not looking! Haven't you heard? He wants to focus on his career first. Old Shen's son, the one who sells pork, had the same idea, and now he's over 30 and still hasn't found a partner."
"Take it slow. We have five days. By the way, how are things going with that orchard in the township below?"
Chen Jingrui finished cleaning up the dishes, sat down at the dining table, and asked.
