4 Finding a Job (2/2)
”If I don't come to visit you, you'll never take the time from your job to see your poor mother.”
Li Wei just continued to smile and waited for his mother to get to the point, he always knows that she is planning something when she tries to play a guilt card.
”Ahem, you know that your grandfather's birthday party will be happening soon, right? I was wondering who you will be taking as your date.” His mother asks picking up the tea that his assistants brought in.
Li Wei wanted to sigh, his mother always had marriage on the mind and today was no different. He knew ever since he took over the family he was urged to get married but he never found the need. He picked up his tea and took a moment before he answered, ”Mother, this is a family event, I don't need a date for such an occasion.”
”Nonsesces! Son, you are not getting younger and I know that your grandfather wants to see you settled down with a nice young woman.”
”Mother, it's just not the right time.”
Mrs. Li put down her tea and let out a sigh and gave her son a sad frown, she understood that he was a workaholic just like her father but this was about the future of the Li line. She has tried to set him up with a countless nice and talented young woman but he always ended the relationship before it began. This time it would be different, she got word from her good friend that Mrs. Wu that her daughter returned to China. She knew the daughter since a young age and always wanted her to be a part of her family. Failing before was sad but she is determined to have Nancy Wu as her daughter-in-law.
”If you don't want to bring a date then maybe you have someone I know attend with you, my good friend Mrs. Wu's daughter returned and she would make a great companion.” Mrs. Li said with a smile.
”I won't make any promises but I'll keep it in mind.”
”I see you still feel a little pressure so how about spending some time with Nancy, then maybe you'll come to enjoy her around.”
Li Wei saw that his mother wasn't going to let this thought go so he agreed to talk with Nancy Wu but made no deal on bringing her along as a date to his grandfathers birthday. After Mrs. Li left his assistance, Mo Han came and saw the cold look on his boss' face.
Just as he wanted to leave he heard a cold voice, ”Get me a detail report on the Wu family.” It was so quick that Mo Han had to take a second look back to see Li Wei already working. Agreeing to his order, Mo Han exited the office and let out a sigh if his boss was looking into someone it wasn't a good thing. It did have Mo Han wonder one thing how did the Wu family get on Li Wei's bad side.
