She gazed out the window with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Jiang Xue, how old are you this year? You seem very young, but you know a lot." Mr. Wang, who was driving, struck up a conversation with Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue smiled faintly: "Twenty-five, not young anymore."
"Twenty-five is not young. I was still working as a waiter at a restaurant when I was twenty-five. I'm a full fifteen years older than you."
As Mr. Wang spoke, Jiang Xue listened politely, occasionally offering a few official compliments and sometimes showing expressions of surprise and admiration.
When an older man is being looked at by a young, beautiful woman with a hint of admiration, he can't help but start talking about how he made his fortune.
Jiang Xue was already tired of hearing those inspirational rags-to-riches stories. Her previous boss loved to tell them, and he would do it at every meeting.
However, Gu Xiaoling was hearing this for the first time, and her expression was almost as if she had seen the world. Every now and then she would sigh, "When will I be able to be like President Wang?"
Mr. Wang's vanity was greatly satisfied by Jiang Xue and Gu Xiaoling, especially with the two beautiful women around.
He took the two of them to his friend's bathhouse.
When Jiang Xue saw the pot-bellied, greasy boss, she had no choice but to put up with it for the sake of money.
"Let me show you around here first. Take a look and see what style of clothing would be suitable for our employees."
Jiang Xue didn't think much of it, assuming that such a large place must be a legitimate bathhouse, not the kind of place run by Ji Yun's man.
She and Gu Xiaoling felt reassured and followed the man upstairs in the elevator.
The luxurious crystal chandelier was so dazzling that it hurt Jiang Xue's eyes.
"Please sit down."
The chubby boss and General Manager Wang sat down opposite Jiang Xue.
The two exchanged a smile, but Jiang Xue sensed discomfort from it, as she had encountered such men before.
I figured she was there to discuss orders, not for anything else.
"So young and already a boss?"
Jiang Xue frowned upon hearing this, feeling offended. She retorted without hesitation, "Yeah, do I have to wait until I'm this old to become a boss?"
"Hahaha... Jiang Xue is the best at joking, and President Xu is also good at joking." President Wang said, trying to smooth things over.
Jiang Xue was starting to regret it. She thought that if it really didn't work out, she wouldn't do the order. She wouldn't starve if she didn't take his business; she could just walk away.
"This young lady is quite feisty, I like that. A boss has to have guts." Mr. Xu took a cigar from the cigarette case on the table, handed it to Mr. Wang, and took one for himself.
With the jade thumb ring on his hand, he pressed the lighter. At this moment, there was silence. Jiang Xue could also see that the jade ring on President Xu's hand was most likely a collector's item. He was quite wealthy, and her determination to secure the order became firm again.
“I only have two Royal Bath Centers in Zhide City, but I have more than 30 other places in total, and I have more than 5,000 female employees.”
Mr. Xu's greasy eyes swept over Jiang Xue, and he casually flicked off his cigarette ash. "Can you handle such a huge order?"
Jiang Xue was indeed shocked, but she wasn't as naive as she seemed. "Sure, why not? As long as the prepayment is in place, I can handle an order of 10,000."
