Xiaohua is just pretending to be carefree, but she's actually very uncomfortable inside. She picked up her water glass and took a few sips to hide her unease.
Zhou Musheng also became less calm and composed than I used to be.
Their relationship was slowly and quietly changing.
"We're not adults, so we can still take a few jokes," Zhou Musheng said, pretending not to care.
After dinner, Zhou Musheng drove Xiaohua to his company for a visit.
The main reason I went to his company was because there was a contract that needed to be signed.
On the road.
Xiaohua made conversation: "Mr. Zhou, did you change the perfume in your car? It smells a little different from before."
Zhou Musheng nodded: "Hmm, your nose is quite sharp; you've had it changed."
"It smells wonderful! What's the name of this perfume? I'll buy a bottle and put it in my office at school sometime."
“Call me…” Zhou Musheng turned his head and glanced at Xiaohua.
Without telling her, he replied somewhat perfunctorily, "It's a very ordinary perfume; I can't remember the name."
Actually, the name of this perfume is "Heartbeat," but it's not appropriate to say those two words to Xiaohua right now.
"Oh, that's a pity. I really like this perfume. It smells very fresh and has a slightly sweet scent. Mr. Zhou, if you remember, please let me know."
Xiaohua thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you just give me a bottle?"
Xiaohua thought that this perfume couldn't be anything particularly valuable, and she wouldn't have wanted something expensive.
She took the initiative to ask him for a bottle of perfume, trying to get closer to him. She didn't want the things she said when she was drunk on her birthday to make her relationship with Zhou Musheng seem distant.
Although they can't advance their relationship, she's counting on this big shot in her career. She's hoping he'll help her take the next step. It has to be said that Xiaohua is always scheming.
"Okay, I'll check if I have any at home. If I do, I'll give you a bottle."
Zhou Musheng was very generous.
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Mr. Zhou."
When they arrived at Zhou Musheng's company, his assistant had already prepared the documents, and Xiaohua didn't need to sign them directly.
This was a collaborative project that she and Zhou Musheng had already agreed upon.
"Mr. Zhou, may I sit in your executive chair for a moment and experience what it's like to be a big boss?"
Xiaohua seemed quite expectant. When she said this, her face beamed with a playful light, like a little forest sprite.
Zhou Musheng was stunned for a moment.
"OK!"
Zhou Musheng stood up, and Xiaohua sat down in his seat without ceremony.
It even went around a few times.
This office is huge, located on the 27th floor, with massive floor-to-ceiling windows and a simple yet elegant decor. Sitting in this ergonomically designed executive chair and turning around, Xiaohua really felt that sitting in this office and in this position gave her a sense of high status and wealth.
No wonder people always pursue and crave power and money. Power and money do have endless allure and are worth pursuing.
Xiaohua thought to herself that one day she would have such a big office.
She would also stand by the window, looking down at everyone, while her assistant reported on the upcoming tasks behind her.
When that time comes, everyone will respectfully address her as President Ye.
Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh out loud as she thought about it.
"Little Flower, are you daydreaming about something?"
Seeing that her laughter was somewhat arrogant, Zhou Musheng couldn't help but ask her.
Xiaohua quickly suppressed her smile and awkwardly explained, "No, I wasn't fantasizing. I just think this chair is really comfortable to sit in."
"This chair is custom-made. If you find it comfortable and like it, I'll have my assistant contact the manufacturer to make one for you too!"
After hearing Zhou Musheng's words, Xiaohua quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I am not worthy to sit in such a nice chair."
Zhou Musheng said, "I think you deserve it. You deserve anything good."
Finally, Zhou Musheng actually had his assistant call someone to custom-make a new chair for Xiaohua based on her figure and physical condition.
Xiaohua has no choice but to accept it now.
It has to be said that Zhou Musheng was really good to her. Whenever she needed something or took a liking to something, he would immediately give it to her without even thinking about it.
If a man treats a woman so well, people will immediately assume that he has ulterior motives towards her.
What could a wealthy man possibly want from a young, beautiful woman whose financial situation is precarious?
It's definitely not about money!
That was for his body, but Zhou Musheng was always polite to him and never crossed the line.
She jokingly offered herself to him, and he jokingly refused.
For a moment, Xiaohua was completely baffled as to what he was after and why he was being so good to her.
We can only assume for now that he is a Buddha or Bodhisattva who has descended to earth to save all sentient beings.
She was one of those lucky people.
Dream East School has recently been expanding its middle and high school entrance exam tutoring business. Xiaohua discovered that compared to studying abroad, the middle and high school entrance exams are the most profitable projects.
The school's daily revenue is very substantial.
Xiao Hua began preparing to open a branch school in the west of the city.
Zhou Musheng suggested that she wait another year to open the branch school. The school's income and expenditure had just broken even, and it was too impatient to open a branch school. This was too big and too fast, and it was easy to stumble if you took too big a step.
Xiao Hua often listened to Zhou Musheng, feeling that Zhou Musheng was a successful businessman and experienced person, and that his opinions could not be ignored.
But everyone gets arrogant, and Xiaohua was no exception. The success of her first school made her feel that she could stand on her own and that her decision was not wrong.
Seeing that she didn't listen to him, Zhou Musheng didn't say anything more.
Some walls you have to hit yourself; only by getting hurt can you gain experience and learn from it.
Zhou Musheng disagreed with opening a second branch school, and Xiaohua was too embarrassed to ask him, the investor, for money again, which was rather shameless.
Xiao Hua thought about how she didn't know many wealthy people, when He Yan spoke up: "What do you think of Lu Zhan? Is he qualified to be your partner?"
Xiaohua frowned: "Would he be willing?"
He Yan countered, "Why wouldn't he be willing? He'd definitely be willing if you could make him money. Your first school was very successful, and he knows that. He's been wanting to collaborate with you for a long time."
Xiao Hua thought about it and decided that finding Lu Zhan was better than finding He Yu. He Yu himself didn't have much money, so finding He Yu would just mean looking for investment elsewhere.
It would be better to hire Lu Zhan once and for all, and it would be quick and easy to get the money.
"Then could you help me arrange a meeting with Lu Zhan? I want to talk to him about the investment."
"I'll make an appointment with him whenever you're free, it depends on your schedule, he's always available."
Lu Zhan: He Yan, thank you!
