Chapter 254 Can You Stop Dreaming
Zhao Yulu returned home.
She didn't eat, nor did she have the appetite to eat.
As soon as she entered the door, Liu Yujuan, who had just finished eating at home, saw Zhao Yulu return and couldn't help saying, "Eh, didn't you say you had a dinner party tonight? Why did you come back so early?"
"I suddenly felt a bit unwell, so I came back early."
Zhao Yulu didn't want to deal with Liu Yujuan and went straight to her bedroom.
"Yu Lu, come here, I have something to tell you," Liu Yujuan said.
"Mom, I'm feeling a bit unwell right now. Whatever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow," Zhao Yulu didn't stop walking.
"What's wrong with you, exactly? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Liu Yujuan approached Zhao Yulu, looking her over from head to toe with a furrowed brow, "I think it's not that you're unwell, but that you're in a bad mood, right? Talk to me, what happened, who upset you again?"
Zhao Yulu said, "Mom, even if I'm in a bad mood, can you just let me be alone for a while?"
Liu Yujuan said, "Being alone, you can easily end up in a dead end. Talk to me, I'll help you analyze the situation and think of solutions."
Zhao Yulu felt helpless and could only sit down on the couch, "Mom, I don't want to talk about it. Just say what you have to say. If you don't tell me, I'm going to my room to rest."
"Fine, if you won't talk, then that's it," Liu Yujuan said, "My thing is, I've thought it over, and I should go out to work. I can't be cooped up at home all day!"
Zhao Yulu looked at her mom with some surprise, "Has the sun risen from the west today or what? You're actually taking the initiative to talk about working. When I mentioned working to you before, you were indifferent."
Liu Yujuan glared at her daughter, "Wasn't I just not ready at the time? Also, there was nowhere suitable to go, but now it's different, I've thought of a good place."
Zhao Yulu asked, "What place?"
Liu Yujuan smiled and said, "It's your Shengda Literature, of course."
Zhao Yulu was stunned, "You mean to work at Shengda Literature? What position would you apply for? It seems there's no suitable position for you, right?"
Liu Yujuan glared at her daughter again, "With you there, why would I need to apply for anything?"
Zhao Yulu was somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean you don't need to apply because I'm there? What are you saying?"
Liu Yujuan said, "Are you pretending to be confused or what? You're about to become the CEO's assistant—that's the person the CEO trusts the most. Would it be hard for you to arrange a supervisor or manager position for me? Isn't it just a matter of saying the word?"
Zhao Yulu suddenly realized that this was her mother's plan.
Zhao Yulu shook her head, "Mom, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I can't arrange that for you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yujuan's expression grew grim, "I'm telling you, Zhao Yulu, arranging a management position is just a matter of saying the word, and you're unwilling to do even that. Do you even have your mom in your heart? Do you think that just because you're about to advance in your career, you can disown me as your mom?"
Zhao Yulu was somewhat speechless, "Mom, please don't put it in such an unpleasant way. If I say I can't arrange it for you, naturally I have my reasons."
Liu Yujuan asked, "Then tell me, what are your reasons? If your reasons aren't sufficient, I can only assume you don't want to take care of your mom."
Zhao Yulu sighed, "I didn't want to tell you about this, to avoid you nagging on and on. Are you sure you want to hear it?"

"Of course I want to hear it. Why wouldn't I?" Liu Yujuan said.
"Alright, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you. The reason I can't arrange a job for you is that I won't be able to become the CEO's assistant," Zhao Yulu said.
"Why not? Didn't you say that once Han Mengting becomes the CEO, she would make you her assistant? Did she go back on her word?" Liu Yujuan asked, puzzled.
"She didn't go back on her word; it's that she can't become the CEO of Shengda Literature anymore," Zhao Yulu said.
"Why not?" Liu Yujuan asked.
"Because another investment company has stepped in before Penguin and acquired Shengda Literature," Zhao Yulu said.
"What! Which investment company is this? Why are they so hateful? Isn't this cutting off your path for career advancement?" Liu Yujuan was extremely shocked and equally furious.
You should know, this was her daughter's opportunity.
Becoming the CEO's assistant, and three years later when Han Mengting stepped down, her daughter would take over Han Mengting's position as CEO.
Just one step up, and her daughter's life would be completely different.
No matter what, she would at least be able to find a high-level management job in the future.
But now, the opportunity was gone.
This so-called investment company had simply cut off their mother and daughter's hope.
"It's Yang Xin Investment and Wan Da Investment," Zhao Yulu said.
"Yang Xin Investment? Isn't that Xu Yang's company?" Liu Yujuan furrowed her brows.
She was well aware of exactly how many companies Xu Yang openly owned.
It was her bragging right amongst her friends.
"Yes," Zhao Yulu said.
"Xu Yang actually blocked your career advancement path; that's too hateful," Liu Yujuan's face looked very unpleasant.
"Alright, you already know the situation. I can't arrange for you to work at Sheng Da Literature, so you need to find a job on your own. Besides, I'm going to resign from Sheng Da Literature too," Zhao Yulu said.
"Why resign? This is your chance," Liu Yujuan suddenly changed her mind.
"What opportunity?" Zhao Yulu asked.
"With Xu Yang acquiring Sheng Da Literature, you can meet Xu Yang again. Just declare your feelings for him again, and get back to his side. If you return to his side, you'll be the wife of a billionaire, and I'll be the mother-in-law of a billionaire," she said.
"Right, maybe Xu Yang acquired Sheng Da Literature because you work there. He might be using this way to let you know that he's always been paying attention to you," she speculated.
"By doing this, he's expressing his love for you."
"Exactly, it must be like this. Oh my god, Yulu, our mother and daughter's good days are coming!"
Liu Yujuan became more and more excited as she spoke, her whole body trembling.
Thinking about Zhao Yulu getting back together with Xu Yang, and herself becoming Xu Yang's mother-in-law with endless money to spend, of course, she'd be excited.
"Mom, can you stop daydreaming?" Zhao Yulu rolled her eyes, speechless.
This mom was really something, to make so many assumptions about such things.
If she hadn't met Xu Yang before and known that Xu Yang no longer had feelings for her, maybe she would have really believed these words.
But ever since that meeting, Zhao Yulu no longer believed these things.
Xu Yang truly had no love left for her.
Everything between the two of them had completely ended.
"This isn't daydreaming. Otherwise, why did he decide to acquire Sheng Da Literature just as you started working there?" Liu Yujuan insisted on her view.
"Mom, I don't agree with what you're saying, and I'm too lazy to argue with you about it. I've said what I had to say; I'm going back to my room to rest," Zhao Yulu stood up, intending to go back to her room.
"Wait a moment," Liu Yujuan quickly grasped Zhao Yulu's arm.
"Mom, what else is there?" Dealing with such a mom, Zhao Yulu felt really helpless.
"Are you really resigning?" Liu Yujuan asked.
"Yes, now that Xu Yang has acquired Sheng Da Literature, it's inevitable that people at the company will find out about my relationship with Xu Yang, and our past will definitely be dug up by others. I'll become the object of ridicule. How can I stay there? Okay, I'm going back to my room," Zhao Yulu pulled away from her mother's hand and went back to her room.
