Chapter 43: Christmas
Chapter 43: Christmas
"That's because... I'm used to it. To get to the position of manager, I don't even know how many social events I've attended. My alcohol tolerance is better than all of yours, understand?" Su Qi said proudly.
"Oh, that makes sense. I could never learn everything from Manager Su in a lifetime!" Lu Xiaoxue exclaimed.
"Of course, what you need to do most right now is to work on your drinking capacity. If you get drunk after just a few drinks, how can I take you out for social events? Wouldn't that just be causing trouble?" Su Qi complained.
This was partly a way of changing the subject, and partly Su Qi's true feelings.
For Mo Xunhuan's sake, Su Qi really wanted to help Lu Xiaoxue, but unfortunately, this guy was just hopeless. He couldn't handle some big projects at all, and he couldn't drink when he went out to socialize.
So all I can do is organize some small projects for her to participate in, or just let her be a figurehead.
"Hey, don't corrupt my Xiaoxue. What do you mean by 'you need to increase your alcohol tolerance for work'? Does that mean you can't work if you don't drink?" Mo Xunhuan said, dissatisfied.
"No, normal work doesn't require drinking, but if you want to climb the ladder and earn more money, you have to do it. You have to be able to do what others can't. You have to be observant and have a keen eye. First of all, you have to get others drunk," Su Qi hurriedly explained.
"Tch, you make it sound so nice, then why don't you help her out!" Mo Xunhuan scoffed.
"Didn't I help her? I did! Do you think I didn't want to help her? If she were just a little more ambitious, she could easily make 5 a month. The problem is, she's so disappointing!" Su Qi slapped her thigh hard, saying with exasperation.
Lu Xiaoxue: ………………

After breakfast, everyone had their own things to do. Su Qi and Lu Xiaoxue went to work, while Mo Xunhuan took his daughter and Lan Ruoxin to kindergarten.
Today is Christmas, the most joyful day. On the way to kindergarten, you can see Christmas trees in front of shops everywhere, and even the back windows of cars on the road are decorated with Santa Claus dolls.
Upon arriving at the kindergarten, the scene before my eyes was absolutely stunning. After the heavy snowfall last night, the kindergarten was covered in a blanket of white, the ground was covered in snow, the Christmas tree was covered in snow, and even the big tree in the yard had turned pure white.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! This kindergarten is like something out of a fairy tale!" Mo Xunhuan exclaimed.
Many children had already arrived at the kindergarten, and laughter filled the air. Some adults also chose to stay with their children instead of going to work.
"I'll go to the office first. You can play with Qingqing as you like. You don't have to go to work today," Lan Ruoxin said gently to Mo Xunhuan.
"Um."
No sooner had Lan Ruoxin left than a problem arose that gave Mo Xunhuan a headache. A beautiful, wealthy woman in a gorgeous dress approached him, raised her hand to show off her expensive watch, and struck up a conversation with him.
"It's been a few days, Qingqing's dad, you're still as handsome as ever~"
"Thank you, Luce's mom, you're very beautiful too. Are you taking time off from work to spend Christmas with your daughter?" Mo Xunhuan said with a smile.
"Hmm, it's been a long time since I played with my daughter. She's always making a fuss. This girl really likes you now. Every time she comes home, she talks about you to me. It seems that you are very popular with children, Xunhuan~" As she spoke, Lu Si's mother stepped forward and took Mo Xunhuan's hand.
"You're joking. The children are generally well-behaved. There are some disobedient ones, but I can't do anything about them." Mo Xunhuan smiled and tried to pull her hand away, but the other person held on very tightly.
"Really? That's really awful. Xunhuan, you're so gentle and kind, yet there's a child who doesn't listen to you. That child must be bad~" Lu Si's mother had quite a strong aura. She not only grabbed Mo Xunhuan's hand and played with it, but also kept moving closer to him, forcing Mo Xunhuan to keep retreating.
"There's no need to be so sure. They're just children, they don't have as many... cunning thoughts as adults." As she spoke, Mo Xunhuan pulled her hand away from the other person's and glared at them with displeasure.
Whether she was feigning ignorance or not, Lu Si's mother not only didn't back down, but instead took a step forward forcefully and whispered in Mo Xunhuan's ear, "You're right, adults and children are indeed different. If it were an adult, they would definitely be eager to get close to you and take every opportunity to smell your alluring scent. It's truly irresistible~"
The other person's words became increasingly ambiguous, and they even took a deep, perverted breath of Mo Xunhuan's scent, giving Mo Xunhuan goosebumps all over.
"Enough!" Unable to bear it any longer, Mo Xunhuan shoved him away and turned to leave.
But the other person grabbed his wrist, forcibly pulled him back, and pinched his chin, saying, "Don't rush off, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"What else do you want to say?" Mo Xunhuan asked irritably.
"Simple, isn't today Christmas? Are you free tonight? My daughter likes you a lot and wants to spend Christmas with you. Why don't you come to our house?"
Looking at Lu Si's mother's confident smile, Mo Xunhuan coldly refused, "Sorry, I have a daughter and a wife. I don't have time to play with you. You should go find other men. There are definitely plenty in bars."
After saying that, Mo Xunhuan shook off the other person's hand and quickly left.
Watching Mo Xunhuan's departing figure, Lu Si's mother's eyes revealed a strong desire. She raised the hand that had just grabbed Mo Xunhuan, took a deep breath, and revealed a wicked smile.
"The more unattainable something is, the more I want it!"

Upon arriving at the kitchen, the chefs were preparing the ingredients.
Mo Xunhuan walked in with a cold face, went to the water dispenser, filled a glass with cold water, and drank it down in large gulps to extinguish the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.
When I first arrived in the matriarchal world, I was very happy and excited to encounter such a thing. I thought it would be so cool to be hit on by a goddess.
But after a while, it gets really annoying because these guys are, in a sense, no different from those jerks—they're just too damn persistent.
Moreover, they are shameless, vulgar, and obscene. No matter what you say, it's useless; in fact, the more you scold them, the more excited they become.
After spending a lot of time with these guys, you start to feel like you're dealing with men. Aside from the gender difference, they're no different from those hooligans.
"What's wrong? Did someone try to chat you up again?" Seeing Mo Xunhuan's cold face, Su Xue came over and asked with concern.
"It's so annoying! This is a kindergarten, and they all have kids. Why do they keep coming up to me and bothering me? Don't they have any shame?" Mo Xunhuan complained angrily.
"Ah, this..." Su Xue awkwardly touched her nose, feeling as if this was an insult, even though she was her niece and a virgin.
"Maybe it's because they're single. Single mothers like them have been single for a long time, so they tend to be overly enthusiastic when faced with a high-quality man like you."
