Chapter 1019: He's My Boss
The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable
âDaddy, why are you here?â Chi Xia asked in surprise.
âI was playing chess at the Go club next door and was waiting for you to come back. My Go friend said that there was a luxury car parked at the entrance of our neighborhood. I saw that it looked like you, so I quickly came out to take a look. I didnât expect it to really be you. And this is?â As he spoke, he looked at Su Chen with a questioning gaze.
Chi Xia did not expect such a coincidence. Just as she was thinking about how to explain it to her father, she heard Su Chen say, ââ Hello, Uncle. Iâm Su Chen, Chi Xiaâs friend. â
âFriends?â Mr. Chi glanced at the luxurious car. His daughter had found such a rich friend. Was he really just a friend?
Chi Xia quickly explained, â Daddy, I was going to take a ride home, but he happened to be on the way, so he gave me a ride. â
Su Chen noticed her troubled expression and added, â Iâm going to a club on Yonghe Road to handle some business. â
Father Chi was skeptical, but there was indeed the club Su Chen mentioned nearby. He smiled and nodded. â Little Su, sorry to trouble you. Why donât you come to our house? â
Little Suâ¦
Chi Xiaâs face darkened. Her father was too enthusiastic.
Su Chen smiled and refused. â No, Uncle. I still have something to do. I donât have time. Maybe next time. â
â Alright then, Little Su, you can go ahead with your work. Next time you have time, you must drop by our house. â Father Chi said politely.
Su Chen nodded and got into the car.
Chi Xia heaved a sigh of relief as she watched the car leave.
Mr. Chi stepped forward and took the things from her. â Xiaxia, when did you make such a rich friend? â
âDad, sheâs not my friend. Actually, heâs my boss. I said that I found a part-time job and that Iâm working under him.â Of course, she couldnât say that her job was to be a nanny, but it was much easier to explain to Su Chen as a boss than to a friend.
âBoss? Why didnât you say so earlier? I was wondering why he was so rich. That car costs more than ten million!â â Why did your boss send you back personally? â Mr. Chi asked.
âItâs really on the way. I just hitched a ride.â Chi Xia replied.
Mr. Chi believed him. Feeling the weight of the things in his hands, he lowered his head and was surprised to see a gift box of famous wine in his hands.
Shocked, he asked, â Xiaxia, where did you get the money to buy this expensive wine? â
Chi Xia didnât know much about wine and she didnât know what price Su Chen had prepared for her, but she knew that it wouldnât be cheap.
âThis is our companyâs year-end bonus,â she said.
âYour companyâs treatment is so good? How could a part-time intern get such good benefits? Looks like your boss is really rich.â
Chi Xia nodded. Su Chenâs net worth could not be simply described as â rich â.
âDaddy, how much is this wine?â she asked curiously. The company sent it to me, but I donât know the exact amount.â
âThis is a white wine gift box. It costs five figures per box.â
Five figuresâ¦
Chi Xia was shocked. No wonder her father was so surprised!
â Your boss treats his employees well. He gave them two gift boxes. One is a tonic and the other is white wine. Theyâre both for the elderly. Itâs rare to find such a thoughtful company. Not bad. â
Chi Xia pouted. â Dad, our boss is actually quite stingy. â
âYouâre still stingy? Donât be unsatisfied, child!â â Xiaxia, I canât believe I called your boss Little Su. Your boss wonât mind, will he? â Mr. Chi exclaimed.
Chi Xia was speechless.
Can we not be so slow?
