"Hello uncle, happy new year."
Chen Mo greeted with a smile.
Father Lu nodded slightly, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."
"Xiao Chen, come, sit here and have some tea."
On the other side, Mrs. Lu in the living room waved to Chen Mo.
The aunts and uncles over there looked at Chen Mo eagerly.
Both sides are eager to "interrogate" Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked at Father Lu.
The other party coughed lightly and said, "Go sit next to your aunt."
In the end, he compromised with Lu's mother.
This...a family tradition where the husband is dominated by his wife is not acceptable.
Chen Mo sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Greeted by curious eyes looking at me.
Seeing this situation, Lu Qingqian, who was standing by, felt a bit of a headache for Chen Mo.
She glanced at Chen Mo, hoping that he could hold on in this "trial by three aunts and six aunts".
"Xiao Chen, is your hometown also Qingyang?"
The first person to ask the question was a woman with permed hair and a slightly sour face. She was Lu Qingqian's second aunt.
"I'm from Qingyang County."
Chen Mo’s words were very specific.
"Oh, the county...it's not far from our city."
A hint of pride flashed in the second aunt's eyes.
After all, compared with people in the county, locals in the city have some sense of superiority.
Chen Mo said with a smile: "It's still not as convenient as the city."
"It's okay. Since you and Qingqian are together in the future, it will be convenient for you to live in the city."
Second Aunt's tone was a bit condescending and comforting, like that of a city dweller.
This made Lu Qingqian speechless: "..."
I feel that my family, which has always been known for its scholarly tradition, seems a bit tacky at this moment.
Chen Mo smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Chen, I heard from Qing Qian that you are running a company in Shanghai now?"
The one who asked the question this time was not the second aunt, but Lu Qingqian's aunt, a beautiful woman who still had her charm.
This charming aunt has short hair and looks like a strong woman. She also cares about Chen Mo's career.
"Well... sort of."
Chen Mo answered cautiously.
The information Lu Qingqian gave him was that she told her family that she had opened a company in Shanghai, and it was a technology company.
"I heard Qingqian say it's a technology company. Are they researching mobile phones?"
The most advanced technology in this era is mobile phones.
Even a factory that makes mobile phone accessories can now be considered a technology company.
"Uh, right."
Chen Mo glanced at Lu Qingqian.
Since he's here to be Lu Qingqian's boyfriend, he naturally has to help her to save the situation.
Lu Qingqian couldn't help but hold his forehead quietly.
Big brother, I told you to be more relaxed and to speak more boldly, but I didn't tell you to brag like this.
A technology company that researches mobile phones.
They are obviously selling milk tea... They are worlds apart and have nothing to do with each other.
How can I make amends for this?
Lu Qingqian had a headache.
I originally wanted to use Chen Mo as my fake boyfriend.
But if this "mobile phone company" can't survive, it would be difficult to continue.
After all, these people in our family still attach great importance to a person's credibility.
If you knew that Chen Mo didn’t have any so-called technology company and only had two milk tea shops or something, you would probably feel cheated.
But it doesn't matter.
Let’s get through this hurdle first.
Lu Qingqian didn't care about that anymore.
"So what's the name of your cell phone company? What does your phone look like?"
My aunt became more and more interested and looked at Chen Mo with shining eyes.
This aunt's husband is also a teacher. He is gentle, introverted and boring. He doesn't have any big ambitions. He just reads books every day and is boring.
She doesn't like it.
She appreciates men who are courageous and ambitious.
"It is still in the preparation stage. We may have to wait until the second half of the year for the first generation of new products to come out."
Chen Mo estimated that it was around this time, or maybe even later.
"Oh~"
My aunt felt a little regretful and some doubts.
Chen Mo smiled and said nothing more.
"So your company doesn't have any other products now? Doesn't that mean you're always losing money?"
Second Aunt asked another sharp question.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "We are indeed losing money."
At this time, everyone else couldn't help but frown slightly.
It seems that the company is still losing money.
Moreover, we don’t know when the product will be released.
This needs to be...be careful.
The second aunt, second aunt, and third aunt couldn't help but glance at Lu Qingqian.
This look contained a hint of concern and suggestion.
Lu Qingqian knew that this look was a hint to her not to invest her own money.
Lu Qingqian didn't care.
After all, Chen Mo’s mobile phone company was fake.
Moreover, as far as Lu Qingqian knew, his milk tea and GKD fast food restaurants were quite profitable.
Whether it is the one outside Shanghai University or the two stores owned by the company, business is booming.
If Lu Qingqian had known this earlier, she would have told him honestly that he was in the catering industry.
This is also to cover up Chen Mo's lie that he is not in Modu but in Qingyang.
It's said that once you tell a lie, you need to cover it up with more lies.
“I’ve been losing money, what should I do?”
There was a hint of scrutiny in Second Aunt's eyes.
There are many men who cheat on women nowadays.
Especially a handsome man like Chen Mo is particularly dangerous.
Once a woman falls in love with a head, she will be carried away by it.
"It should be able to hold up for now."
Chen Mo told the truth.
But to Second Aunt and the others, these words were lies.
"Doing business is still... unstable. Being a teacher like us may earn less money, but we don't have to worry about unemployment and debt."
Second Aunt said this with pride on her face.
Chen Mo still kept smiling: "You are right."
Lu Qingqian coughed lightly: "Being a teacher is just like that."
Among these relatives, Lu Qingqian, a teacher at Shanghai University, can be considered the best among the teachers in the family.
Others are at most high school teachers.
She said that the teacher was just like that, and it was difficult for others to refute her.
This is what is called "level suppression".
"Xiao Chen, you should be more cautious when doing business. If you are losing money, get out of it in time, and don't get stuck deeper and deeper."
The aunt, who looks wealthy and steady, spoke earnestly.
This is true.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "You are right, but I still have to hold on a little longer. Maybe there will be a turning point later."
"Okay, okay, they must know their business well. Why are we, a bunch of outsiders, giving them advice?"
Mother Lu couldn't help but interrupt the topic.
After all, he is my daughter's boyfriend, so I have to give him a little face.
In addition, Chen Mo always has a smile on his face and looks like a good kid.
"By the way, Xiao Chen, which school did you graduate from?"
Mother Lu cares more about her future son-in-law's abilities than others.
"Uh, Magic City University."
Chen Mo said this and glanced at Lu Qingqian.
Lu Qingqian: “…”
At this moment, her heart couldn't help but beat faster, after all, she was asking her student to pretend to be her boyfriend.
There’s something…exciting about doing it yourself.
If Old Lu knew about this, he would probably want to break my leg.
As for who was interrupted, it’s hard to say...
