This behavior doesn’t seem like that of a university student at all.
All the people sitting at the table were familiar to Zhou Yuwen, so there was nothing much to greet about.
At most, he came over and asked Lv Hui to pour him a glass of cold water, then asked Liu Shuo, “How was it?
Was the New Year’s Eve party good?”
“Ah, it was alright, bro.
I was thinking, when we get rich we should do something like this too.
Imagine the Xu Huai Association coming over, over two thousand of us, all dressed in suits, what an energetic scene that would be!”
Zhou Yuwen replied, “I’m afraid before you all even gather, you’ll be taken away.”
Hearing this, Gao Yang and several other boys laughed.
But Liu Shuo felt somewhat disgruntled, replying, “What’s there to be afraid of?
I’m doing everything legally.”
Now, Lv Hui could also be considered as having been tamed by Liu Shuo.
Not exactly tamed by Liu Shuo, rather Lv Hui now had profound respect for Zhou Yuwen, a respect that came from the heart.
When Zhou Yuwen asked her to pour water, she did so respectfully, carefully bringing the glass over to him with both hands.
Zhou Yuwen took a sip after receiving it and then nibbled on some dishes.
This mid-year company banquet was actually quite lavish; Zhou Yuwen noticed a bottle of bollon on the table, and also a big crab, too bad only leftovers remained.
Zhou Yuwen remarked, “You guys didn’t even leave me a bite.”
Liu Shuo grinned, “Bro, I didn’t know you were coming.”
Zhou Yuwen couldn’t be bothered to talk with him and shifted his gaze to Minmin.
Truth be told, Zhou Yuwen was quite surprised to see Minmin here.
Minmin was dressed in a black sheath dress, and today, instead of wearing long boots, she had on a pair of nude-colored high-heeled pumps, pretty good-looking indeed.
Upon being noticed by Zhou Yuwen, she still seemed somewhat reserved.
Zhou Yuwen’s crowd just had that aura; from the outside, they might seem like part-time student workers, but after coming in, influenced at least a bit by others, they tended to regard Zhou Yuwen with more awe.
When everyone had stood up earlier, Minmin came in with them, and now she wasn’t sure how to greet Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen just nodded at her and curiously asked, “Isn’t Tao Tian, your senior, with you?”
“She was here just a moment ago, probably went to the restroom, I guess.
She and I came over to work part-time, and then just sat down for a bit,” replied Minmin.
Zhou Yuwen nodded, looked around, but didn’t see Tao Tian anywhere.
Minmin said tentatively, “Zhou, Yuwen, how about I serve you some porridge?”
After all, she was Zhou Yuwen’s senior; she couldn’t bring herself to call him Brother Zhou.
Zhou Yuwen nodded and said okay.
So Minmin obediently got up to serve the porridge.
Lv Hui watched from the side, disdainful in her heart, thinking that here was another one trying to seduce Zhou Yuwen.
Liu Shuo was still grinning and talking to Zhou Yuwen about the performances at the event.
He also mentioned that the company had quite a few beauties.
“When we have our own company in the future, we can do the same thing,” he said.
Zhou Yuwen just smiled.
At this moment, his phone rang; it was Zhao Jun’s call, asking where Zhou Yuwen was.
Zhou Yuwen replied that he had arrived.
“Where are you at?”
Zhou Yuwen said, “I’m at Liu Shuo’s table.”
“Look up,” said Zhao Jun.
It was then that Zhou Yuwen noticed the banquet hall had one and a half floors, with an elevated half floor.
Zhao Jun was on the second floor, waving at Zhou Yuwen while on the call.
He waved and hastily came down the stairs.
Reaching Zhou Yuwen, he said, “Hey, buddy, why are you sitting over here?”
Zhou Yuwen replied, “Where else would I sit if not here?”
“Of course, you should come with me to the private room.
I’ve already said, a group of people are waiting to meet you.
You didn’t even tell me when you arrived.
Come with me, quick.”
Zhou Yuwen said, “I haven’t finished my porridge yet.”
“What are you doing with porridge when there are big crabs and lobsters over there!
Come on!” urged Zhao Jun.
Zhou Yuwen smiled helplessly and said, “Liu Shuo, come with me for a bit.”
“Oh sure, bro,” Liu Shuo responded.
At the critical moment, Liu Shuo was the one Zhou Yuwen brought along.
“I knew it from the first meeting, brother, you’re not a common man.
I can see they value your Xianlin Takeout highly.
Keep calm, and we’ll sell it for a good price!
I heard, brother, they are ready to pay over a million for your Xianlin Takeout, so don’t show any weakness when the time comes,” Zhao Jun earnestly advised.
“Just a million?” Zhou Yuwen asked.
“That’s not enough, brother?
The company we’re talking about is nationwide, and your takeout business is just in University Town.
Do you know how much a million is worth to me?
My entire net worth might not even add up to that.”
Zhao Jun kept talking, and it was clear he had quite a bit to drink today, plus he genuinely thought that Zhou Yuwen, this young fellow, had really good luck.
However, what he didn’t realize was that Zhou Yuwen was quite disinterested at the moment; if it was just for a million, Zhou Yuwen wouldn’t bother going through the trouble of running a takeout business.
He was originally thinking even if he earned a bit less, selling it wouldn’t be a loss.
But now it seemed like a long and arduous road ahead.
On the second floor, there was a small private room where Zhao Jun kept rambling on and on, saying that when they meet President Zhu, they should be more cautious.
“I’m telling you, President Zhu is a rarely seen beauty.
I’m not worried about myself, but you, Liu Shuo, better not act like a slob and embarrass your brother.”
Liu Shuo said, “What do you mean, Brother Jun?
I have a girlfriend!”
“Hey, like having a girlfriend is something to brag about?”
Right in the middle of their conversation, someone pushed the door open.
Inside the spacious room, there was a man and a woman sitting around a table filled with dishes.
It looked like they had finished eating, but very little of the food had been touched.
The two seemed to have been chatting and catching up.
Zhao Jun approached and said, “President Gao, I’ve brought the people here.”
At this moment, Gao Peter and the woman finally looked up.
Gao Peter was obviously a bit drunk, looking dazed.
But the woman had a sharp look on her face, and seemed very happy to see Zhou Yuwen, standing up proactively: “Hello, Zhou Yuwen, I’ve long heard of your great reputation!”
As she spoke, the woman already approached Zhou Yuwen.
This woman indeed was different from the type of women Zhou Yuwen knew.
She had curly hair, bright red lips, lively eyes, and dimples when she smiled.
She had a pear-shaped figure, which should mean she has a strong feminine charm, but she was wearing a large coffee-colored suit with a light yellow shirt underneath.
There was a sense of freedom about her.
Just like now, as she stood up to greet Zhou Yuwen, she also handed him her business card with one hand.
Zhu Hong.
Some Takeout Company.
Jinling Branch Office.
Position: Deputy General Manager
“I often hear President Gao talk about you.
I also quite like that poem you wrote, ‘Those Years in a Hurry.’ I hope our cooperation will be pleasant,” Zhu Hong said with a light smile, extending her hand to shake hands with Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen didn’t refuse.
But he had a somewhat puzzled look: “I’m a bit confused.
What kind of cooperation is there between President Zhu and myself?”
Zhu Hong chuckled softly, not answering Zhou Yuwen’s question, but instead said, “Haven’t eaten yet?
Come, sit down with us and have some.
The tuna sashimi here is very fresh.”
The table was full of dishes, including big crabs and lobsters, and there was an additional sashimi platter compared to what one would find outside.
Gao Peter was a bit drunk, with a slight redness under his eyes, gesturing for Zhou Yuwen and the others to sit down.
Zhu Hong mentioned that it might have been abrupt to call them over on this special day.
“I originally wanted to set up a more formal day to meet, but my old classmate, President Gao, insisted that he has a good relationship with you.”
As she spoke, Zhu Hong smilingly nodded at Gao Peter.
Gao Peter nodded back solemnly, introducing: “Yuwen is my little brother.
My relationship with him is such that he will come whenever I call.
Isn’t that right, Yuwen?”
Gao Peter was truly drunk, probably too excited after seeing Zhu Hong.
At this moment, Liu Shuo, who had already sat down, was staring grimly at Gao Peter.
Zhou Yuwen didn’t respond to Gao Peter’s words.
In the center of the sashimi platter, there were several chunks wrapped in gold tin foil paper that from afar looked like decorations, but inside were pieces of frozen foie gras.
Compared to the semi-cooked sashimi, the taste of frozen foie gras was slightly better.
Zhou Yuwen picked up a piece of foie gras, methodically unwrapping the foil, and took a bite; the foie gras was rather rich and flavorful, as expected from a grand hotel.
While savoring the foie gras, Zhou Yuwen said indifferently, “President Zhu must have had something important to discuss to call me over in such a hurry,”
Holding a wine glass, Zhu Hong watched Zhou Yuwen eat the foie gras and couldn’t help but chuckle softly: “No rush.
Foie gras is rather greasy.
It pairs better with some red wine, for an enhanced taste.”
With that, Zhu Hong slightly raised her glass.
