Chapter 22 He is Not Qualified

"Brother-in-law, I thought you weren't coming." Perhaps Lin Yijia felt guilty for coveting Lu Chen's Ultimate VIP Card the last time, thereafter she had been extra friendly to Lu Chen.

Not to mention, the Ultimate VIP Card was really cool. In the past two days, she and her mother bought a lot of luxury goods in the New Skylight Mall, and now, they hadn't even thought of returning the card to Lu Chen.

"Why would you think so?" Lu Chen smiled slightly.

When Lin Yijun saw that Lu Chen was fine, she was relieved. However, when she thought of how much her mother hated Lu Chen, she did not know what to say.

Although she also bore a grudge against Lu Chen, she did not wish for Lu Chen to be looked down upon by her family.

"Daddy, come here and sit with me!" Qiqi shouted to Lu Chen.

"Okay." Lu Chen smiled and walked toward Qiqi, then he sat down.

"Is this the birthday gift you bought for your dad?" Wang Xue asked, glancing at the small blue bag in Lu Chen's hand.

"Yes. It's nothing much. I'm guessing Dad hasn't gotten off work yet?" Lu Chen nodded and put the bag on the coffee table.

As the bag was blue in color, they could not clearly see what was inside. However, when they saw that the small bag was the type of bag commonly used in convenience stores, Wang Xue and the others had no interest in opening it.

Lin Yijun saw the scorn in her mother's eyes and wanted to stop her from saying anything unpleasant, so she took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Mom, I was promoted to head of sales department yesterday."

"Really? Then your salary must have increased a lot. Your company has almost monopolized the anti-theft system equipment in Chongqing. My daughter, your future looks promising!" As a mother, Wang Xue was excited upon hearing that her daughter was successful, even if she was already married.

"My base salary has risen to 6,000, and my commission is 20 percent more than the average salesperson. For each salesperson under me, I would get 0.5 percent of their sales." Lin Yijun nodded her head.

"Wow, that's impressive. You've only been in the company for a year and you're already promoted to a supervisor. It seems that your boss has a keen eye for talented people," Lin Yijia also praised her.

"You should know my capabilities by now. Honestly, it's all just good luck." Lin Yijun laughed. She was telling the truth. If it was not for the mysterious person who secretly helped her win the Greentown real estate project, she would not have qualified to be promoted to supervisor.

"Yijun, don't belittle yourself. By the way, since you are now promoted to a supervisor, your income would be much higher. You have to learn to manage your credit card wisely. Don't spend your money on things that are useless," Wang Xue pointedly looked at Lu Chen and said.

"Mom, Lu Chen has a job too." Lin Yijun was a little embarrassed. Of course she understood the meaning behind her mother's words. Her mother was

indirectly insulting Lu Chen for not

going to work and spending her money.

"Oh right, Yijun, I heard that your company was bought over by someone else. It was the new shareholder who promoted you to be the supervisor,

right? What does that new shareholder look like? Is he handsome?" Lin Yijia said suddenly.

"No one in the company seems to know the identity of the new shareholder, except for General Manager Xia. He was wearing sunglasses and a hat during the management meeting today, so no one knows who he is." Lin Yijun shook her head as she recalled how funny the mysterious new shareholder looked today.

Deep down, she was also curious. Was the new shareholder really as ugly as people said?

"Since you have been promoted to supervisor, you should work harder in the future. Let Lu Chen take care of the family affairs. You should do your best to impress the new shareholder," Wang Xue urged.

"Yes, I know. By the way, I was promoted to supervisor this time mainly because I managed to close the deal for the real estate project of Greentown that our director couldn't even manage to. In fact, the real estate project manager of Greentown deliberately made things difficult for me for two days. Just when I was about to give up, someone called Mr. Wang and they appointed me to this project. I don't have any connections, so I'm not sure who helped me behind my back!" Lin Yijun nodded and expressed her doubts.

In fact, she was a little worried that the person who helped her would make unreasonable demands from her. If so, she would not know how to deal with that.

"Yijun, did a rich man fall in love with you? Although you are already married, you were the most beautiful girl in Chongqing University back then after all," teased Lin Yijia.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Yijun glared at Lin Yijia. Although she also had concerns in this respect, how could her sister say that in front of Lu Chen?

Not to mention that Lu Chen was a petty man.

Immediately, Lin Yijun looked over at Lu Chen and saw him nonchalantly shelling seeds to feed Qiqi. She did not know whether Lu Chen had taken her sister's words to heart.

Sensing that Lin Yijun was looking at him, Lu Chen raised his head and smiled

at her. After all, the person who helped Lin Yijun behind the scenes was himself. Naturally, he would not take Lin Yijia's words seriously.

Instead, when Wang Xue heard Lin Yijia's words, she instinctively shot a glance at Lu Chen. A glint flashed in hereyes.

Back then when Lin Yijun insisted on marrying Lu Chen, she had tried her best to stop her daughter. As a matter of fact, if a rich man were to fall in love with her eldest daughter now, she wouldn't mind persuading them to divorce.

On one hand, it was for the sake of her daughter; on the other hand, she would be able to show off if her daughter married into a wealthy family.

"I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously." Lin Yijia chuckled.

"By the way, Hu Hong, I mentioned this matter to you two days ago. Were you the one who helped my sister behind the scenes?" Lin Yijia suddenly turned to Hu Hong and asked.

"Huh? I-I just casually mentioned it to my dad. I'm not sure if he personally asked Mr. Wang from Greentown to help Yijun. I'll ask him when I get back home tonight," Hu Hong said after a moment of pause.

"There's no need to ask. Previously, Jun Yue Group handed over that business deal to my mom because your dad helped to put in a word for her. This time, it must have been your father who talked to Mr. Wang. Wow, I never expected your dad to have such a wide network," Lin Yijia said confidently.

"I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but even though my family's company is not huge, my dad does have manyconnections. He knows almosteveryone in the upper class of Chongqing. My dad has even treated Tycoon Lu to a meal once," Hu Hong bragged shamelessly.

In actuality, his family's company was doing less than 100 million in revenue, and his dad was not even qualified to meet Lu Zhong alone.

Nonetheless, it cost nothing to brag!

Why shouldn't I brag if I could look cool?

"Our family's future depends on you now! You should take time and learn more from your dad." Although Wang Xue had a serious look on her face, deep down she was ecstatic that her younger daughter had found a great man like Hu Hong.

"Aunt Wang is right. I will study hard and strive to develop the company into a first-class giant corporation when I take over my dad in the future," Hu Hong said modestly.

"Was it really your dad who helped me?" Lin Yijun looked excitedly at Hu Hong. If Hu Hong's dad was the one who helped her, she would be relieved.

"Yijun, don't bother asking anymore. Who else would help you besides Hu Hong's dad? After all, his dad was also the one who helped me close the deal with Jun Yue Group the last time. You should be thanking Hu Hong now," Wang Xue said and looked at Lu Chen again.

"Lu Chen, Hu Hong has been of a great deal of help to Yijun, you should go thank Hu Hong immediately," Wang Xue urged.

Lu Chen put down the seeds in his hand and finally looked up to Wang Xue. "He is not qualified enough for me to thank him."

Previously, Lu Chen was already a little upset when Hu Hong stole the credit for Jun Yue Group's deal. Now, this bastard even dared to take credit for what he had done for his wife.

That was the last straw.
