Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 124: 124 Understanding the Situation



In the car.

Zhao Yuxin, browsing her phone, said, “The box office of ‘War Leopard’, aside from the seventy million on the first day of the new year, has exceeded one hundred million on the other days, and now it’s almost seven hundred million. Some agency predicts that ‘War Leopard’ could potentially break ten billion in the final box office.”

Xu Yang smiled and said, “We’re gonna make a good profit this time.”

The box office was even higher than what the system had mentioned.

This was also thanks to him letting the Fengcai Guild promote ‘War Leopard’.

Without the anchors from the Fengcai Guild spreading the word, ‘War Leopard’ would definitely not have been this popular.

This showed that things could be done better than what the system had described.

Just like the last time with the aluminum mine, the system mentioned someone sold it for 1.5 billion, but he sold it for 1.6 billion.

Zhao Yuxin said, “Wu Jing has made a comeback with this movie.”

Xu Yang nodded, thought of something, and then said, “Yu Xin, now that the new year is over, you should find some time soon to chat with the financial manager, Zhou Ruyan, from Jiang Di Lao.”

Zhao Yuxin’s eyes lit up, “Mhm, I was too busy before the new year, couldn’t find the time, but I’ll definitely make time in the next few days to go to Jiang Di Lao and have a chat with her.”

Zhao Hai became a bit anxious, “Yu Xin, are you really going?”

Zhao Yuxin laughed, “Of course, this concerns your happiness, Dad. I need to go and check.”

Zhao Hai said bitterly, “Doing this, how am I going to face people in the future?”

Zhao Yuxin said earnestly, “Dad, as I said, I have a sense of measure, and I absolutely won’t make things awkward for you, don’t worry.”

Xu Yang said, “Yu Xin, Dad is now the President, he has a lot to deal with, but does not have an assistant by his side. I think we could have this financial manager Zhou Ruyan be Dad’s assistant to share some of the workload. What do you think?”

Zhao Yuxin’s eyes shone, immediately understanding Xu Yang’s implication.

This was about creating opportunities for Dad and Zhou Ruyan to be together.

Zhao Yuxin nodded repeatedly, “Yeah, that’s right. Dad works too hard; he indeed needs someone to share the workload.”

“You two…” Zhao Hai truly didn’t know what to say.

The two of them, singing in harmony, decided on his personal staffing matters.

Without even asking for his opinion.

Zhao Yuxin added, “Right, we can’t make the transfer now, I need to evaluate her first. I don’t want another woman like Liu Yujuan for the boss.”

Xu Yang nodded and said, “Of course, but it shouldn’t be the case. I’ve heard Zhou Ruyan has a very good personality, highly regarded by her colleagues, very agreeable.”

Zhao Yuxin said, “That’s good, but I’ll have to meet her first.”

Xu Yang said, “Sure, everything is up to you.”

Zhao Hai said bitterly, “Xu Yang, Yu Xin, can you not do this? You’re putting me in a difficult position.”

Zhao Yuxin said, “Dad, what’s there to be difficult about? The matter is settled.”

She could tell, Dad probably liked the financial manager Zhou Ruyan a bit.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t just talk about being uneasy or it being hard to do.

He would have definitely rejected it outright.

Dad was too embarrassed to say it outright, so naturally, she, the caring little cotton-padded jacket, had to step in.

Zhao Yuxin went on, “Oh right, honey, you’re hosting a New Year’s meal for the staff of Fengcai Guild and Jiang Di Lao tomorrow, aren’t you?”

Xu Yang nodded, “Of course, I plan to invite all the staff of Fengcai Guild for lunch tomorrow, along with the few people invested by Yang Xin, and to invite all staff of Jiang Di Lao for dinner tomorrow night. What about it?”

Zhao Yuxin said, “I was thinking, our bank probably has the New Year’s meal at lunchtime. I want to join you for the Jiang Di Lao New Year’s dinner, to get to know that financial manager Zhou Ruyan, and to chat with her as a friend. That way it won’t seem abrupt. What do you think?”

Xu Yang nodded, “Great idea, let’s happily decide on that.”

When they returned to Jiangcheng, it was already past six o’clock, and the three of them ate dinner together.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin took Zhao Hai home, then returned to the villa.

As soon as they entered the villa, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin tumbled into each other’s arms.

In the past few days back in their hometown, it hadn’t been convenient to do much, and the young couple, brimming with vigor, were indeed feeling a bit stifled.

Soon, the sounds of love filled the house.

The eighth day of the first lunar month.

In the morning, Xu Yang went to Fengcai Guild and Jiangcheng Hotpot to distribute red envelopes to all employees.

Each person received 888 yuan, eliciting gasps of surprise from the regular staff.

As regular employees, it was the first time they had received such generous red envelopes.

Previous bosses would have done well to give out a hundred yuan.

For workers, encountering a generous leader was extremely rare.

Many expressed that as long as the company was willing to keep them, they would work there for life, treating the company like home.

Imperceptibly, the employees’ sense of belonging to the company strengthened.

Xu Yang didn’t forget to visit Yang Xin Investments.

Yang Xin Investments was still a small team, actively recruiting more people.

Once they acquired more companies, the company would gradually become busier.

At noon, all the employees from Fengcai Guild had their start-of-the-year meal together, and they also invited the staff from Yang Xin Investments since both companies were in the same building, so there was no need to eat separately with the Yang Xin Investments staff anymore.

In the evening, Xu Yang and the entire Jiangcheng Hotpot staff had their start-of-the-year meal together.

Zhao Yuxin naturally got acquainted with Zhou Ruyan.

The two of them had a nice chat, and Zhao Yuxin got the answers she wanted.

The day went by just like that.

By the time they returned home in the evening, it was already over nine, and Xu Yang reeked of alcohol.

Zhao Yuxin considerately brewed some tea to help Xu Yang sober up, then said, “Husband, today I interacted with Sister Ru Yan, and she feels just as you described, with a super nice personality. She definitely is interested in dad, I could tell from the way she looks at him. If she gets together with dad, he will surely be very happy.”

Now that they were calling her “Sister Ru Yan,” there was no doubt they had a good conversation.

Xu Yang said, “That’s great, so shall I appoint her as dad’s assistant tomorrow?”

Zhao Yuxin nodded repeatedly, “That’s good, we can’t delay. We need to expedite the matter with dad. I’m just afraid Liu Yujuan will pester dad, but if dad gets together with Sister Ru Yan, Liu Yujuan will give up hope.”

“Okay,” Xu Yang nodded, “By the way, did you get her basic information? Tell me about it.”

It wasn’t gossip; he wanted to understand a bit more.

After all, she could potentially be his mother-in-law.

“Sure,” Zhao Yuxin said, “Sister Ru Yan is from the capital of Sichuan Province. Her parents both worked in governmental departments and are now retired. Her brother also works in a government job, is married, and his child is in junior high school.”

“Sister Ru Yan attended university in Jiangcheng, specializing in finance. Her parents wanted her to work back in the capital city, but she said she liked Jiangcheng and didn’t want to return to a governmental job, so she stayed here.”

“She bought a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment in Jiangcheng and said she wouldn’t consider marriage until she met the right person. Rather be lacking than compromising, she implied that dad is someone who moves her heart.”

Besides learning about Zhou Ruyan’s situation, she also talked about dad’s.

These were mutual exchanges; they couldn’t be hidden.

As for whether knowing this information would affect the two of them getting together, she wasn’t worried at all.

Dad and Zhou Ruyan were both of an age where they would only pursue something they liked, and once they liked someone, they wouldn’t care about anything else.

Xu Yang said, “In that case, our dad has hope. I think dad also has feelings for her.”

He wasn’t foolish; he could tell that Zhao Hai probably had feelings for Zhou Ruyan, otherwise, he would have definitely tried to block their matchmaking efforts.

Zhao Yuxin nodded repeatedly, “Yes, so even if we don’t do these things, they would probably end up together eventually. What we’re doing is just helping to speed up the process.”
