Invincible Divine Dragon's Cultivation System - Chapter 39

Chapter 39

“$3,000 a month?”

Wang Xian wanted to laugh when he saw Director Zhou pretending to be a kind senior, offering advice to a junior .

On seeing the yearning in Director Zhou’s eyes, Wang Xian finally understood his intentions .

Director Zhou wanted to woo Guan Shuqing and regarded him as a potential rival .

He must step on his rival when he met one .

But he could not do it directly to avoid leaving a negative impression with Guan Shuqing . Hence, he could only give a tall hat to himself and lower the status of Wang Xian indirectly .

Be a follower of his? Become his employee?

Wang Xian smiled and shook his head gently, “Director Zhou, the students in our school are not that materialistic . We can get a bag at a few hundred dollars, and date at the school canteen . ”

“Hur?” Upon hearing Wang Xian’s words, Director Zhou had a change in his expression . He did not expect Wang Xian to be sarcastic about him being materialistic .

Director Zhou’s eyes glimmered with displeasure .

“Xiao Wang, you can’t put it that way . Campus love is pure and innocent, but you’ll leave school and enter society after all . Director Zhou said all this for your own good . Don’t take his words for granted . ” a young man said and frowned at Wang Xian when he saw the expression on Director Zhou’s face .

“That’s right . What can you do when you don’t have any money? Girls are all looking for rich husbands who dote on them and love them . Too bad I’m married . Otherwise, I’d woo Director Zhou instead . ”

A girl also glanced at Wang Xian . “Xiao Wang, you’re still young . ”

They had been working in the society for many years, and they could sense something from their boss’s expressions .

They could tell that Director Zhou wanted to shame him . Naturally, they needed to give him a hand .

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Wang Xian’s eyes when he heard their remarks .

“We’re still schooling, and we don’t have many troubling matters . We just need to pursue what we want, and that will do . ”

Guan Shuqing spoke with a smile when she felt something was amiss with the atmosphere .

“Shuqing, you are still young . Listen to me . I’ll nag at you in the future,” said a girl to Guan Shuqing .

She was pleased to see the kindness in Director Zhou’s eyes as soon as she finished her sentence .

“Waitress . ”

At this time, Director Zhou got an idea and called for the waitress at the door .

“Sir, how may I help you?” asked the waitress who walked over .

“Do you still have that limited caviar?” asked Director Zhou to the waitress .

“I’ll need to check with the kitchen,” the waitress answered with a smile .

“Okay, please check for me . ” Director Zhou nodded unconcernedly . Subsequently, he told everyone, “Truffle, foie gras, and caviar are the three most renowned overseas dishes . Caviar, in particular, is extremely precious . The caviar sold in First-grade Restaurant is limited edition and costs $4,000 per portion . Just enough for one or two people to share . The taste is superb . I’ll see how many portions are available . We can order more, subject to availability . ”

“Director Zhou, you’re way too generous . The caviar is just too expensive . ”

“That’s right, Director Zhou . These dishes are enough . Why don’t you order for Shuqing? You don’t have to waste your money on us,” said several sensible youngsters .

“We will see how many portions are available . ” Director Zhou was satisfied with them after hearing them .

“I’m sorry, Sir, but our caviar is all out today . ” Soon, the waitress walked over and apologized .

“Hur? Sold out? Oh, is Manager Huang around?” asked Director Zhou with a frown .

“Yes, Sir, do you have any requests?” asked the waitress quickly .

“Nothing, I’ll give him a call . ” Director Zhou gestured at the waitress and fished for his phone .

“Director Zhou, do you know the manager from the First-grade Restaurant?” asked a young man with surprise .

“We met each other over a couple of meals,” Director Zhou said without any emotion, but his eyes glimmered with arrogance . “I still know some people from during the few years after returning from overseas . ”

“Director Zhou, you really befriend many people from all walks of life . That would give you the convenience to do anything . ” A young man at the side was licking his boots .

“Network is essential in society today,” said Director Zhou smilingly as the phone on the opposite side rang .

“Hello, Director Zhou, how are you?” a middle-aged man’s voice was heard on the phone .

“Manager Huang, are you busy?” asked Director Zhou with a smile .

“Not really, is there anything I can help you with, Director Zhou? How was your dinner today?”

“I’m quite pleased with it . I’m calling you with regards to this too . Manager Huang, do you think you can get some caviar for us? Your staff said it is out of stock, but I have a craving for it . Do you think you can get some for me to host my guests? Haha . ”

“Sure, the kitchen should have set some aside . There should be some left . ”

“Great, sorry to trouble you, Manager Huang . ” Director Zhou deepened his smile as he hung up after making a few courtesy remarks .

“Well, the First-grade Restaurant will set aside some every day just in case . There are some left . ” Director Zhou chuckled . He cast his gaze at Guan Shuqing, “Give it a try later, Shuqing . The taste is great . ”

“Director Zhou, thank you for your treat . It must be expensive for this meal,” Guan Shuqing said with a smile .

“It didn’t cost that much . Perhaps less than $10,000 . ” Director Zhou shook his head . “So long as you enjoy the meal today . By the way, where did you and your friend plan to have your dinner at just now?”

“We were planning to cook outdoors at school,” Guan Shuqing said with a smile .

“Outdoor cooking?” Director Zhou paused and raised his eyebrows . “Such a hot day and you’re going for outdoor cooking? There are many mosquitoes outside . Xiao Wang, you’re not being understanding . Besides, it is not good for their skin if girls are smoked by the barbecue . If you’re treating a girl to dinner, you must at least go for a decent restaurant . ”

“What kind of restaurant?” Wang Xian noticed that Director Zhou was looking back at him, so he took a sip of water and asked impassively .

“The First-grade Restaurant may be expensive for you since you are a student . But you should at least go to a franchise restaurant for a meal that is around $200 to $300 . Outdoor cooking is inappropriate,” Director Zhou looked at Guan Shuqing as he spoke, “Besides, outdoor cooking is not safe . Shuqing, you better not go . ”

“Heh heh . ” Upon hearing his remarks, Wang Xian sneered at him .

Director Zhou showed displeasure in his eyes when he heard the scornful laughter .

“Director Zhou, let’s dig in . It’s getting late . ”

Seeing that Wang Xian was unhappy, Guan Shuqing quickly tugged at his arm under the table .

While doing so, her palm was caught in his palm nicely . A current seemed to run in her body, and she withdrew it immediately .

Wang Xian peered at Guan Shuqing and chuckled . He did not persist further and laughed, “Have some food . The seafood in the First-grade Restaurant is the best . ”

“Oh, then have more food . You might not have any chance for it in the future,” Director Zhou jeered .

“Yes, thanks to Director Zhou for the treat today . ” Wang Xian drew his lips slightly and nodded . He picked up his chopsticks and continued with his food .

Guan Shuqing was relieved when he saw Wang Xian enjoying his food . She hesitated and picked a piece of crab claw . With a smile, she said, “Try this . This is delicious . ”

“Sure . ” Wang Xian looked at her and nodded .

“Really… I’m afraid you might not have the chance to try it again after this,” a young man muttered when he saw Wang Xian’s look .

The voice was soft, but it was audible .

However, Wang Xian was not bothered at all . He did not want to quibble with him since they were all Guan Shuqing’s colleagues .

At the same time, Manager Huang hung up Director Li’s phone call and spoke to Director Li, who was clearing up his stuff at the side .

“By the way,” Director Li heard him and said, “Turn that customer down . After that, go to the kitchen, get the additional caviar, and follow me to that private room . We’re delivering to someone else . ”

“Hur? Director Li, who are you giving it to?” Manager Huang was slightly stunned as he asked in surprise .

“Your future boss!” Director Li looked at him and said, “The First-grade Restaurant will belong to this person from tomorrow onwards . You should get to know him first today . ”

“My future boss?” Manager Huang was surprised . He knew that Director Li had a deal with this person for taking over the First-grade Restaurant . But he did not expect that his future boss would be having dinner here today .

“Okay, Director Li, I’ll explain it to the customer . ”

Manager Huang quickly nodded and walked to the kitchen . He would be asking the chef to prepare it with utmost effort . After all, this was prepared for their future boss!
