I Have the Halo of Overbearing President - chapter 13
She had the halo of the boss and could lead the life of a rich man. Of course, she didn’t want to spend her time in the office every day. What was the relationship between the female lead and her? Only when there was money, there was happiness. She wanted to spend money!
Chu Chu called Wang Qing into the room and asked, “Can you book a plane ticket for me?”
Head Secretary Wang Qing said, “Okay, your specific plan of journey is…”
Chu Chu touched her head and said calmly, “I don’t have any itinerary. I want to travel around the world. Book a ticket to the United States.”
Wang Qing was dumbfounded and hesitated, “How long will you be traveling?”
Chu Chu wasn’t sure, so she said, “One or two years? Two or three years? How long does it take to travel around the world?”
Wang Qing: “…”
Head Secretary Wang Qing’s brain died. She had nowhere to go and had to pull in Zhang Jianian as a rescuer. After hearing President Chu’s request, Zhang Jianian got anxious. His boss was sick again, but he couldn’t wake her up.
He remembered that President Chu was going to surrender to the police station that day.
Zhang Jianian was much calmer than Wang Qing and said with a good temper, “Would you not return to the company during your trip?”
Chu Chu nodded, “Yes, you don’t travel to work and work doesn’t involve travel.”
Zhang Jianian patiently said, “Director Chu asked you to go back for dinner tonight. Why don’t you tell the chairman in person about this? We really can’t make any decisions.”
Although Chu Chu was the chairman of Yinda Investment, people in the company still called her President Chu to distinguish her from Chu Yanyin.
Chu Yanyin was the biological father of the original owner and her biggest backer. Chu Yanyin started from scratch and established the Qisheng Group, which covered multiple fields, such as real estate, mining, medicine and catering. Chu Yanyin was an outstanding figure on the list of the richest people in China, with a wealth of about 31.3 billion US dollars and ranking 23rd in the world.
When President Chu established Yinda Investment, Chu Yanyin directly gave her one billion yuan, all as tuition fees. Outsiders could accuse President Chu of being vicious and rich, but they couldn’t deny Chu Yanyin’s commercial skills.
Chu Chu thought for a while. As the second generation rich, she should say hello to the person who paid for it. She agreed to this matter. Zhang Jianian was relieved. They couldn’t control President Chu and could only let her father help them.
After they got off work, Zhang Jianian arranged a car for President Chu to go back to her ancestral house. The Chu family house was actually just a property under the name of Chu Yanyin, located in a villa area not far from the city. The mansion occupied an area of 2 acres and looked magnificent from a distance, nothing less than the rich family in idol dramas.
Chu Chu experienced the peak traffic jam. She was dizzy and not in the mood to appreciate the mansion. She suppressed the disgusting feeling of motion sickness and asked, “How does he go to work every day? Can’t this be blocked?”
Money wasn’t a panacea. (cure-all)
One couldn’t avoid the traffic jams in big cities. One couldn’t drive a private jet on this road.
Zhang Jianian found that President Chu’s memory had deteriorated recently and she had forgotten many things.
He answered, “Director Chu doesn’t live here. He lives near Qisheng Building.”
Chu Yanyin and Chu Chu share the same routine. They lived in the city at work, but occasionally came to the mansion for gatherings.
Chu Chu was upset looking at the traffic jam outside the window and complained, “Then can’t we find a place in the city to meet each other? Why do we have to go to a mansion outside the city?”
This was simply facing three hours of traffic jam for 10 minutes of meeting. Life was spent on the road.
Zhang Jianian said, “But Mrs. Lin lives in the mansion…”
Chu Chu said blankly, “Who is Mrs. Lin?”
Zhang Jianian looked at her frown and was puzzled.
He reminded her in a low voice, “Lin Mingzhu, Director Chu’s current wife.”
Chu Chu realized, “Oh, my stepmother, right?”
Zhang Jianian: “…”
Zhang Jianian was speechless. If he mentioned Lin Mingzhu before, President Chu would definitely get angry. She would immediately turn her face when she heard Lin Mingzhu’s name, wishing to beat her out of the house.
Chu Chu vaguely remembered that the original owner had a stepmother and the relationship between them wasn’t so good. But the situation had long been forgotten. The main story of the novel was the love between the male and female lead. The original owner was a supporting character. Chu Yanyin and Lin Mingzhu were the supporting characters of the supporting characters.
Everything related to them was simply small details which were of little importance in the novel.
She just wanted to tell him her desire to travel around the world and then go out to play with the banknotes. She had no time to deal with the complicated interpersonal relationships of the wealthy family.
Inside the mansion, someone politely knocked on the carved door and entered the house to report, “Madam, the eldest lady’s car has already arrived into the yard.”
A woman with delicate makeup was sitting in front of the dressing table. She pursed her lips in the mirror, checked her lipstick and smiled in satisfaction. Lin Mingzhu, dressed in a cheongsam, picked up a poodle from the chair. She tapped the puppy’s nose with her slender finger and smiled charmingly, “Poor, your sister is back, are you happy?”
“Woo-” the poodle grumbled when he heard his name. It was called “Poor” and was Lin Mingzhu’s pet. The villain had a fight with Lin Mingzhu because of the name of the poodle. Her name was Chu Chu and Lin Mingzhu’s dog was ‘Poor’. What did that mean?
Lin Mingzhu dressed up and waited at the door holding her dog. Every time Chu Chu returned, Lin Mingzhu would deliberately respond to her and show off Chu Yanyin’s love for her. The irritable lady would curse her, accuse Lin Mingzhu unbearably and upset Chu Yanyin.
Lin Mingzhu saw Chu Chu coming from a distance and repeated her tricks. She leaned against the door pretentiously and lowered her head to speak to the poodle, “Poor, see who came back…”
Before Lin Mingzhu finished speaking, Chu Chu with Zhang Jianian got into the house like a whirlwind while completely ignoring her existence.
Lin Mingzhu was shocked.

Welp thays too bad, I would have preferred a good woman that had been trying to get along with mc to this cartoonishly evil woman

What does “Poor” have to do with “Chu Chu”? Do they sound similar, so Chu Chu feels offended?
Sskhussaini
I checked multiple translations of “poor” in Chinese, the closest sounding word is cha, which also means poor. Lol, Chu Chu and Cha do sound like brother and sister haha.

I thought 寠 (Jù) sounded pretty close

In the raw, the dog name is 可怜 (Ke Lian), which could mean pitiful. Chu Chu’s name is 楚楚. When combined, 楚楚可怜 means delicate and charming, usually to describe young woman.
But baiscally the stepmother is using the dog name to make fun of Chu Chu indirectly.

@lele That’s too advance level of insult for me to understand. 😅 I mean, from your explanation, Chu Chu Ke Lian means delicate and charming and it sounds like a compliment for a young woman in general.
In a normal father’s eyes, no matter how his daughter was, they would always be delicate and charming (or hope that the daughter would be like that). Not to mention Chu Chu was really a beauty. Even her irritable personality could be seen as “sensitivity”=delicate emotion in the rose-colored filter of her father’s eyes. Then, Ke Lian was his beloved young wife’s “baby”. So, I can see how her father missed the insult.
Oh, wait. Putting aside that the stepmother making her sounds as a sister of a dog, Chu Chu wasn’t a delicate and charming young woman. From the secretary dept in her company, she sounded like a strong dominating leader. Attaching delicate and charming on her character, it can be seen as mocking her.
