Qian Manduo didn't want her to spend money, so he ordered two cheap vegetarian dishes. Xi Murong's ordering was quite interesting; he ordered two relatively expensive seafood dishes, but not the most expensive ones, just in the middle price range. Ye Qingqing's smile deepened, and she added a few more meat dishes. She knew that Qian Manduo had a big appetite and loved meat, so a few dishes wouldn't be enough.

"That's too much. The food here is ridiculously expensive. Ordering so much is a waste," Qian Manduo said softly, feeling sorry for Ye Qingqing for spending so much money.

These few dishes alone cost almost two hundred yuan; if she's frugal, they could last her two months.

"If you can't finish it, you can pack it up and take it home to eat," Ye Qingqing joked, and Qian Manduo gave her a reproachful look.

The food was served quickly, and Ye Qingqing also ordered three cans of Coke, saying, "I'll finish all the food."

Xi Murong gave her a deep look, feeling that Ye Qingqing's smile was unsettling and that her true intentions were not what they seemed. He didn't feel quite at ease during the meal.

"Is something wrong?" Xi Murong decided to take the initiative.

Ye Qingqing smiled and said, "There is something, but don't worry, it's not a bad thing. You should eat first."

Qian Manduo looked at the two of them suspiciously, then smiled like a fox. She decided to mind her own business and eat as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a waste to waste so much food.

"Would it be convenient to ask which company your parents work for?" Ye Qingqing asked casually.

"It's a tobacco company. My parents are barely middle-level managers. The company has pretty good benefits and the jobs are stable, so they don't want me to look for work outside," Xi Murong said without hiding anything.

Ye Qingqing's eyes widened in shock. So this was such an awesome state-owned enterprise! The benefits were not just good, they were exceptionally good. No wonder Xi's parents didn't want their son to go out. Even if Xi Murong went to work for a Fortune 500 company, it wouldn't be as good as their own company!

Moreover, in companies like this, connections and emotional intelligence are key. Xi Murong's parents are middle-level managers, which has laid a solid foundation for him. He himself is good at socializing, with good emotional intelligence and eloquence. He will definitely rise to the top in the future, and reaching the middle level will be no problem at all. If he is lucky, he may even break into the upper management and become a winner in life.

Xi Murong's parents had made perfect arrangements for their son, so Ye Qingqing felt a little embarrassed to speak up. She was afraid of harming their son, since there were so many companies in China, and it was hard to find many more powerful than the tobacco company.

Moreover, being a salesperson is not only hard work, but also means having to put up with bad customers, often having to travel for work, working day and night, and having an uncertain future. She couldn't guarantee that Xi Murong would reach the pinnacle of his life, but if he stayed at the tobacco company, he would definitely be a winner in life.

A smooth, sunny road versus a narrow, thorny path. Even though treasure might lie beyond the narrow path, a wise person would choose the smooth, sunny road, and she was no exception.

What people want most in life is a peaceful and wealthy life, to enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Who wouldn't want to be the foolish son of a rich man? Nobody wants to work hard and struggle. Those who talk about having ideals, striving, and realizing their life's value are mostly rich kids who talk without understanding the hardships. Children from poor families are forced to earn a living, and their life's value and ideals have absolutely nothing to do with them.

“Your parents’ workplace is very good, better than many foreign companies. It’s wise for you to stay. Forgive my bluntness, but if you go out to look for a job, you’ll most likely not find a better one,” Ye Qingqing said bluntly.

She had given up on the idea of ​​sending Xi Murong to work in sales for Lu Mo. She was a decent person and couldn't let the landlord's foolish son suffer. It was better to let him stay at home and eat meat instead of going out in the wind and sun.
