The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains

Ch.169 Mama and Papa's precious baby (1)

"Anyway, take a look at this resume! Have you looked at it yet? This is definitely a man who knows everything about smearing a company!" Xiao Yu pointed to the resume in her hand and said, "Don't you need a consultant like this?"

Ji Xuan, "..." Not really, actually.

"Just think about it. When people are trying to smear your company, you won't even see it coming. Even after they come out with all their fancy tricks, you won't even know how to deal with the situation. And, when that time comes, you'll need an experienced veteran to show you the right way, "Xiao Yu said with conviction.

Unfortunately, Ji Xuan was able to push her back with just one sentence, "We're running a company, not trying to build up the personal image of a celebrity."

Xiao Yu was speechless for a moment, but she immediately turned the topic around, "How is this not related? Haven't you ever thought about what to do when a competing company tries to slander you?"

Ji Xuan laughed. "You're right. I'll think about it. Just tell him to come to work as soon as possible!"

Xiao Yu then whispered, "Then go and tell your subordinates! He didn't graduate from any big-name university, so I'm afraid he won't even pass the first hurdle."

Ji Xuan nodded. "My company generally recruits new staff during the annual recruitment season, and we generally don't hire anyone outside of that unless necessary. He won't be given any trouble if he comes in during this period."

Xiao Yu lowered her voice even more, "You have a point, but it's still better to play it safe. If he ends up getting brushed off, then tell me, where am I going to put my face after that? Right?"

Ji Xuan, "...I understand. For your sake as the mother of my child, I will also try my best to make sure your reputation is not tarnished."

Xiao Yu grinned and patted his shoulder. "You're lacking in enthusiasm, but I like what you're putting down."

Ji Xuan, "...What kind of things have you been reading now?"

Xiao Yu did not answer. Instead, she asked, "What're you eating for lunch? Is it good?"

"If there's nothing particular I want to have, then I'll generally just eat whatever my secretary buys?"

Xiao Yu nodded her head. Then, she plopped her head down on the desk and said in a tired voice, "I hope Secretary Ben buys something I like."

"What do you like to eat?" Ji Xuan casually asked.

Xiao Yu looked at him and said, "We've been married and you still don't know that?"

Ji Xuan lowered his head. "Well, that period of time was too short, and I had to return to the army quite often. When I retired, however, I heard you didn't really want to have Ji Yu, so we ended up drifting away from each other." Speaking up to this part, Ji Xuan lowered his head and muttered, "I'm sorry. I was the one at fault. I should have left the army earlier."

Xiao Yu was stunned. She turned away and did not look at him, but she still responded in a quiet voice, "It's not all your fault. I was partly to blame, too."

Ji Xuan shook his head. "No. You were so young. There were things I was supposed to take responsibility for, things that I should have noticed. I hope you can forgive me, too. I was also too young back then."

Xiao Yu didn't expect Ji Xuan's thoughts to go so deep, and she felt relieved for the original Xiao Yu. She nodded her head with emotion. "That's for sure." After all, I'm now living under your roof!

Then, Ji Xuan asked, "Since you've already accepted it, then may I ask when you're going to change the ungrateful wold nickname on your phone?"

"...Hahahahaha." Xiao Yu laughed. "I'll do it, for sure! Aw, I'm so sorry my little puppy! I was really angry during that time. Think about it, a good man like my father was forced to run back and forth for your sakes, but in the end, you still drove me away."

While speaking, Xiao Yu even took out her phone to show him. "Look! You're not the only ungrateful wolf. There's ungrateful wolf 1, 2, 3, and so on..."

Ji Xuan, "..." I! @#$%

"What's with that look on your face? It's not like I'm targeting you on purpose! I really don't know who the other people my dad funded were, otherwise the ungrateful wolves on my phone would go up to 20!" Xiao Yu explained.

Ji Xuan, "...Then should I feel honored? I can't believe I'm in first place."

Xiao Yu, "...Uh...I think so! At least I didn't tag you with a number."

Ji Xuan, "...Then, the secretary of ungrateful wolf no.1 is…"
