Still taking exam
“Thank you, Mr. Chen.”
Song Xia tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said gratefully.
For this holiday, she was going to her sister first, staying there for a day, and then returning home with her sister.
And Mr. Chen also happened to be driving home.
However, she had originally planned to take a bus by herself and did not want to trouble Mr. Chen, even though the two of them had some familial ties because of her sister.
But after all, Mr. Chen was the CEO of a company, and having the CEO of a group act as a driver to go home was simply unreasonable.
But she did not expect that her sister had actually let her brother-in-law secretly contact Mr. Chen.
She was completely unprepared for this.
She only found out about it when Mr. Chen sent her a message.
“Get in the car.”
Chen Mo looked at Song Xia, who was standing outside the car, and spoke indifferently; he had no extra thoughts about one more person going back with him.
Driving back alone or taking someone back had no impact on him.
The only thing that annoyed him was that this talent for losing money, whom he was very optimistic about and had high hopes for, had actually become a 'snitch' in the company.
What a perfect coffee shop plan.
Song Xia had turned it into such a dismal state.
Song Xia did not know what Mr. Chen was thinking in his heart; after hearing Mr. Chen's words, she put her suitcase in the trunk and then went to the passenger seat and sat down.
Seeing Song Xia settled, Chen Mo directly started the car and drove out.
“By the way, how is your driving test going?”
On the way,
Chen Mo suddenly remembered that he had also provided Song Xia with a car and told her to take the driving test. A long time had passed, and he had not seen Song Xia driving yet.
He remembered that Shen Rou had already passed her fourth subject in the driving test and was about to get her license.
“Still taking it!”
Song Xia's voice was like a mosquito, and her expression was a bit awkward.
“What?”
Chen Mo was looking at the road ahead and did not notice Song Xia's voice at first.
“Still taking it.”
Song Xia let out a breath and said loudly.
“Oh, it's been a long time. You must be on Subject Four by now.”
“Uh… not yet.”
“Then Subject Three.”
“Also… not yet.”
“Only Subject Two? Did you apply for your license very late?”
Chen Mo's eyes showed confusion. He did not expect that after such a long time, Song Xia was only on Subject Two.
“No, I applied for my license not long after I picked up the car, but I've already taken Subject Two 4 times, and I haven't passed.”
Song Xia looked out the window at the passing cars, avoiding Mr. Chen's expression.
She also did not know what was wrong with her; she could clearly pass when practicing driving,
But every time it came to the test, she would fail due to various minor issues.
The first time she didn't fasten her seatbelt, the second time she remembered the route incorrectly… etc. Anyway, she would fail the test due to various reasons.
“Uh!”
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and his hand on the steering wheel paused slightly. He glanced at Song Xia, who was looking out the window, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
He did not know what to say at this moment.
He had heard before that some people fail their driving test many times, but this was the first time he had seen it.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became solidified and very quiet.
Chen Mo thought for a moment and directly turned on the music.
Listening to the new song released by Zhang Lan, his mood gradually became pleasant.
This morning, he checked the new song chart, and "invisible wings" had successfully reached the top spot on the new song chart.
This number one spot was achieved without any paid promotion, relying entirely on platform users, and its value was already very high.
Of course, he did not care whether the value was high or not; what he cared about was the monetization ability behind this value.
The vehicle slowly drove,
And soon entered the highway entrance of Jiang City, heading straight towards his hometown.
……………
Afternoon!
Beiming County,
Inside the old residential area.
In the kitchen,
Two figures were busy as can be.
“Wash that vegetable, and peel that garlic…”
Yang Xiulian was cutting vegetables while directing her husband, Chen Jingrui, to prepare them.
For no other reason, their son was coming home today, so they naturally had to prepare well.
Knock knock knock!
A knock on the door came.
Yang Xiulian shook the water from her hands, wiped them on a rag, and quickly walked to the door.
“Aunt Wang, come in quickly.”
Yang Xiulian looked at the person at the door and quickly welcomed her in.
“Xiulian, what's the occasion? So much food. I remember Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow, right?”
Aunt Wang walked into the house and asked with a smile, looking at the dishes filling the kitchen.
“Ah! My son is coming back today, so I'm making some of his favorite dishes.”
Yang Xiulian's lips curved, her smile unconcealed.
“You, you're just destined for a good life. Such a good son, he was worry-free since he was little, and now he's a leader in a company. His income isn't low either, at least twenty to thirty thousand a month, right?”
Aunt Wang casually found a seat and sat down, saying with emotion.
“That's true, our Xiao Mo has always been worry-free since he was little. Right after he graduated, he started a company with friends, but I don't know if it's making money; he doesn't tell us.”
Yang Xiulian raised her head, her face full of pride.
She brought a plate of fruits from the dining table and placed it in front of Aunt Wang.
“How could he not be making money? He's already driving the car back.”
“Aunt Wang, please don't spread rumors; that car isn't Xiao Mo's, it's a company car.”
“A company car, isn't that his car? Why would the company provide Xiao Mo with a car if not for his ability?”
Aunt Wang said, while grabbing a handful of melon seeds from the fruit plate and cracking them.
“That's different. If one day Xiao Mo is no longer with that company, the car will be taken back, so it can't be considered Xiao Mo's car.”
Yang Xiulian patiently explained. She was happy that her son was successful.
But she liked to construct some false things to gain that sense of vanity.
“Oh, well, why would he leave such a good company, and as a leader? Forget it, let's not talk about such inauspicious things. I'm not here just to chat today.”
Aunt Wang said, throwing a handful of melon seed shells into the trash can.
“Aunt Wang, what is it?”
Yang Xiulian's expression also became serious upon hearing this.
“I see your Xiao Mo isn't young anymore, is he? It's been almost two years since he graduated from college. Do you know if he's dating anyone? When his career is successful, he needs to start a family. I'm telling you, you can't delay this.”
“The son of Old Shen, the pork seller, is also doing well outside. At that time, he focused on his career and didn't have the energy to date. Now his career is successful, I heard he's a senior executive in a big company, but what's the use? He's 35 and still hasn't started a family.”
“Now, Old Shen's couple is extremely worried.”
