Chapter 38
“Hey, young lad! Not bad, not bad . ”
Zhou Yuanhao looked at Wang Xian, extended his hand towards his shoulders and wanted to pat on them .
“Hehe . ”
Wang Xian had his eyes fixed on this young man as he avoided his palm fluently . He had the feeling that this dude was up to something .
Zhou Yuanhao’s arm stiffened . Following which, he smiled and said, “Let’s go . I’ve made a reservation and we can go straight to the private lounge . ”
“Misters, this way please . ”
As Zhou Yuanhao spoke, the waitress by the side led the way for him .
First-grade House could be divided into two stories . The lower level was the main hall while the upper story was where the private lounges were at .
“First-grade Restaurant is a rather famous restaurant in Rivertown . You can get to taste all types of seafood, abalone, shark fin and sea cucumber . Sometimes, there is also precious seafood such as Atlantic Bluefin marlin sashimi . ”
Zhou Yuanhao was walking at the front of the pack as he explained to the group with a face full of smiles . He looked to Guan Shuqing and Wang Xian, who was beside her, and said, “Shuqing, your school is around this area . I’m guessing you know about this restaurant . ”
“Of course I know about it . This restaurant is known to be expensive,” Guan Shuqing smiled and replied .
“Hehe, I came here once previously when a friend of mine was giving me a treat . I have to say that the food here is really expensive . A meal in a private lounge will cost at least seven to eight thousand . This is the level of a five-star hotel . Since Director Zhou is paying today, we are in for a treat!”
“First-grade Restaurant is known for its seafood . Although they are delicious, their prices are too expensive . I heard about it previously but this is still the first time I’ve come here . I have to thank Director Zhou for your generosity . ”
The two young commented with intentions to flatter Director Zhou .
“Hehe . As long as everyone works hard and we do well, such a gathering will be common in the future . ”
Zhou Yuanhao said with magnanimity, “Although First-grade Restaurant is expensive, the food they serve is really delicious . I have always liked their food and often patronize this restaurant . ”
“In that case, we’ve got to stick close to Director Zhou in the future . There aren’t many bosses who are as generous as Director Zhou!” a girl smiled and said to Director Zhou .
“Naturally, I wouldn’t treat you guys badly . ”
The edge of Zhou Yuanhao’s mouth arched up .
Guan Shuqing and Wang Xian followed behind and didn’t comment as the group arrived at a private lounge .
“Shuqing, you can sit beside me . ”
Zhou Yuanhao sat at the seat of the host as he spoke to Guan Shuqing, who was just beside him .
Guan Shuqing was taken aback slightly before nodding her head and sitting down . She looked to Wang Xian and said, “Wang Xian, why don’t you sit beside me?”
“Huh? Alright . ” Wang Xian nodded his head . The few young men and women took a glance at Zhou Yuanhao and Guan Shuqing before sinking into deep thought .
“You guys, take a look at the menu and see what would you like to have . Come! Just order as you wish . ”
Zhou Yuanhao passed the menu to Guan Shuqing and asked, “Take a look and see if there’s anything you would like . You can just order it directly . ”
“It’s okay, Director Zhou . I’m not a picky eater and am fine with anything . ” Guan Shuqing waved her hand and handed the menu back to him .
“You… Alright . In that case, let me order a few dishes . Hmm… This sea cucumber porridge with lotus seed is good for the complexion . Let’s get a bowl for Shuqing and the ladies here . ”
Zhou Yuanhao looked and spoke to Guan Shuqing and the few other ladies .
“Our Director Zhou is such a gentleman . Hehe,” one of the ladies laughed and said .
“That’s true . After all, Director Zhou attended a famous University in the UK for three years . He’s definitely the role model of a gentleman,” a young man commented as he tried to get on the good books of Director Zhou subtly .
“Haha . ” Zhou Yuanhao smiled . “Alright, let’s get a bottle of champagne and white wine to go along with the seafood . ”
“Alright, Mister, please wait a moment . ” The waitress by the side nodded her head, collected the menus and walked out of the lounge .
“Shuqing, do you have the intention to come to our company to work after you graduate from school?” Zhou Yuanhao asked as he poured Guan Shuqing a cup of tea after filling his own cup .
“Director Zhou, I can do it myself . ” Guan Shuqing tried to take the teapot and pour for herself in a hurry . “I still have two years until my graduation . ”
“It’s alright . You can come over to the company during the weekends or when you have no classes . I wouldn’t scrimp on your salary . Our company business is growing larger and larger and we still need some talents,” Zhou Yuanhao remarked .
“This…” Guan Shuqing was a little tempted . Now that her father had declared bankruptcy, her family conditions weren’t too great . Currently, she had to settle her own living expenses .
“I think it’s fine . Shuqing, this is a good idea . After all, the curriculum of university isn’t that tight . You definitely could gain some working experience during your free time . This is a good thing . ”
“Yeah, just take a look at how well Director Zhou is treating us . It’s hard to get a good boss like him . You might not be able to get such a good job even after you graduated . ”
The two young men by the side tried to convince Guan Shuqing .
“Hmm, this would work too . ” Guan Shuqing took a look at Wang Xian who was beside her and nodded her head .
When Zhou Yuanhao heard her reply, a joyous feeling surged . “Haha, let’s welcome Shuqing for joining us officially . ”
As they were chatting, the dishes were being served one by one .
Zhou Yuanhao kept trying to chat with Guan Shuqing . As for Wang Xian, he just sat there alone as he ate the food .
“Shuqing, do you have a boyfriend?”
Suddenly, Zhou Yuanhao asked Guan Shuqing .
This question shocked Guan Shuqing . Her eyes were wavering as she turned her head over and looked at Wang Xian .
Zhou Yuanhao saw her action and frowned . His vision fell on Wang Xian as he tried to change the topic . “Oh, Shuqing, you haven’t introduced us to this friend of yours!”
“This is my classmate, Wang Xian,” Guan Shuqing replied immediately .
“Hello, everyone, I’m Wang Xian . ” Wang Xian remarked .
“Don’t just eat, let’s have a chat . ” Zhou Yuanhao looked at him and squeezed out a faint smile . “Brother Wang Xian, your family conditions should be pretty good . What is your family like?”
“Family?” When Wang Xian heard him, he laughed, “I only have a sister as kin . ”
“Huh?” Zhou Yuanhao was slightly stunned and shocked . A smile appeared as he continued, “I’m sorry to ask about something that I shouldn’t have . However, please allow me to say this . Brother Wang Xian, life isn’t easy . You should be making plans for life after graduation . Similar to Shuqing, you are from the University of Rivertown . It’s clear that you are a capable man . Why don’t you come and work for my company? If you work for me, it would definitely be better when you try to look for a job after graduation . ”
“That’s right . We will be working for Director Zhou in the future and he would be our leader . Haha!” a young man laughed and said .
“Hehe . It’s alright . ” Wang Xian shook his head . “It’s better to just enjoy my university life!”
“Oh, Xiao Wang, that’s not a good mentality to have . You should be working hard starting from university . When you say you want to enjoy your university life, what are you actually thinking of? I’m guessing it’s not playing games and is about finding a beautiful girlfriend . However, you need to be rich to find a beautiful girlfriend . Buying a bag for your girlfriend would set you back several tens of thousands! Similarly, buying clothes, jewellery and gifts would also be in the range of several tens of thousands!”
“As a young man, one should have goals . This would then give you motivation . If you can’t rely on your family, you can only then rely on yourself . ”
“For example, if you want to get a girlfriend as beautiful as Shuqing, you can’t be just giving her a bag that costs a few hundred . Moreover, you can’t even get one at a few hundred dollars nowadays . It can’t be that you are thinking of bringing her to the canteen for meals all the time . All of these would cost money . If I had a girlfriend as beautiful as Shuqing, branded bags and clothes are a necessity . As for other gifts or even a house or car, these are needed in the future . ”
“The company my family owns has just started . Despite that, our annual profits are in the range of five to six million dollars . Even so, I feel that my conditions in Rivertown are still below average . Therefore, a young man like you should be looking to start working hard from a young age . ”
“Xiao Wang, you can consider working for me in the future . You can still expect to easily earn $3,000 a month in a part-time role . ”
Director Zhou lit a cigarette and smiled .
In his words, he had lifted himself up subtly and bashed Wang Xian . .
Work part-time for $3,000 a month?
