Chapter 33 Miss Zhou, why don't you come with me...
Mr. Tang was in his forties. He must have been quite good-looking when he was young, tall and thin, with a mustache, and a serious demeanor. He looked shrewd and not to be trifled with.
Manager Su introduced the two parties: "Sir, this is Miss Zhou and Young Master Zhao. Miss Zhou, this is our boss, Master Tang."
Zhou Mujiao extended her hand: "Mr. Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Mr. Tang narrowed his eyes as he looked at the hand that was suddenly extended towards him. "Nice to meet you is nice to meet you. What does it mean to reach out your hand to me?"
Zhou Mujiao had already realized what was happening. She stretched out her other hand, then stretched upwards, and explained apologetically, "Sorry, I've been busy all morning and have been sitting here for too long. My hands and feet are stiff. I'm just moving around a bit."
Mr. Tang nodded: "Miss Zhou, please have a seat."
The three sat down, and Manager Su stepped outside and closed the door.
Zhao Yunjing stared at Boss Tang, his hair standing on end, his right hand on his waist, ready to draw his sword at any moment.
A slightly cool hand covered the back of his hand and patted it gently twice. Zhao Yunjing relaxed a little, but still stared intently at Boss Tang with a warning look on his face.
Zhou Mujiao smiled slightly at Boss Tang: "I wonder what business Boss Tang has with me?"
From the moment he entered the private room, Boss Tang had been observing Zhou Mujiao.
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with blond hair was quite pretty, but what was most attractive about her was not her appearance, but the confident glow she exuded.
While Zhou Mujiao and Sister Liu were discussing their collaboration, Boss Tang was in the adjacent premium room. He had no intention of eavesdropping, but some of Zhou Mujiao's ideas greatly surprised him.
He believed that he had traveled all over the country since he was a teenager, and had seen a lot of people. He had never met a girl who was so confident and had such ideas, not to mention a man who was so good at thinking and so daring, and who was able to plan and implement his ideas step by step.
Mr. Tang became interested in Zhou Mujiao. He smiled and said, "The other day, Xiao Ma came to see me and told me about a plan. With that plan, I was able to successfully acquire Hongyun Restaurant. I originally thought it was Xiao Ma's own idea, but after asking a few more questions, Xiao Ma revealed that it was Miss Zhou. I admire Miss Zhou's courage and shrewdness."
"Mr. Tang, you flatter me. It wasn't really a plan, just a matter of common sense. Even if you hadn't done it, someone else would have. I was just the one who started it. The one with real courage is you, Mr. Tang."
Zhou Mujiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The fact that Hongyun Restaurant is now packed with customers proves that Boss Tang's vision and courage are unmatched."
Mr. Tang was very pleased with these words, and the smile on his face widened to eight parts: "Miss Zhou is such a talented person, it is a waste for her to stay in Peach Blossom County. Miss Zhou, why don't you cooperate with me, and I will make your business spread throughout the entire Daliang."
"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Tang, but my current abilities are not enough to support such ambitions, and I have not yet grown to the point where Mr. Tang can invest in me." Zhou Mujiao said calmly, "Right now, I just want to run that clothing store well with Sister Liu. With the help of Mr. Tang's auspicious words, I hope that in the future, the clothing stores can be spread all over Daliang."
Mr. Tang wasn't annoyed at being humiliated; instead, he admired her even more. Turning his gaze to Zhao Yunjing beside him, his eyes lit up: "Young Master Zhao is a handsome young man. Can he read and write? Can he do math?"
I know a little about it.
“Hongyun Restaurant is short of an accountant. If you are interested, young master Zhao, I will entrust the management of Hongyun Restaurant’s accounts to you.”
Zhao Yunjing stared at Boss Tang, feeling that the man had ulterior motives.
Even if Ma Dalang attributed the entire plan to merge Hongyun Restaurant to Zhou Mujiao, if a big boss like Master Tang wanted to express his gratitude, he could have simply given her some money or instructed his subordinates to provide them with more conveniences. There was no need for him to come in person to thank her, take the initiative to cooperate, and now even ask him to be the accountant of Hongyun Restaurant!
Who would entrust their accounts to an outsider, especially a complete stranger?
Something unusual must be going on!
Zhao Yunjing immediately refused: "I'm sorry, but my ambitions lie elsewhere, and my abilities are not worthy of Master Tang's trust. Ajiao, we should go back now."
Zhou Mujiao stood up: "Boss Tang, farewell."
The two walked out side by side, and Boss Tang's voice drifted over: "Miss Zhou, I admire you very much. If you ever feel ready, feel free to come to me. I will definitely keep my promise and make your business spread throughout Daliang, making you the most successful businesswoman in the Daliang Kingdom."
Zhou Mujiao paused, turned around and smiled: "Boss Tang, if I become the most successful businesswoman in Daliang, it will definitely be because of my own vision and ability, not because of anyone's support or help."
Mr. Tang's smile paused for a moment, and Zhou Mujiao continued, "If Mr. Tang truly appreciates me and really wants to cooperate with me, I suggest you first place me on the same level as you, or lower your stance and learn to talk to me as an equal. Mr. Tang, I appreciate your appreciation, but I will earn opportunities myself; I don't need anyone's charity."
Before Boss Tang could reply, Zhou Mujiao finished speaking, grabbed Zhao Yunjing, and left.
Manager Su entered the private room: "What does the master think of Miss Zhou this year?"
"At such a young age, she has courage, resourcefulness, and a proud spirit; she's a real talent." Boss Tang smiled. "You say she's a village girl from Peach Blossom Village? I think this Miss Zhou is even more shrewd than the people I personally handed over. Even you might not be a third as good as her."
Manager Su didn't mind; he just hadn't expected his master to give such a high evaluation.
“That young man from the Zhao family doesn’t seem like an ordinary person. He might have good fortune in the future. Xiao Su, keep an eye on him and ask Xiao Ma to look after him. We can’t cooperate now, but we might be able to someday.”
Manager Su nodded in agreement, and the two of them stood at the window, watching Zhao Yunjing and Zhou Mujiao leave.
Pushing a cart full of cloth out of the city, the two of them did not speak a word the whole way.
Zhou Mujiao was reviewing and planning the future direction of the clothing store, as well as the event plan for the new product launch in half a month.
Zhao Yunjing, meanwhile, was thinking about Zhou Mujiao's behavior today, which was extremely inconsistent with her status, her thoughts and methods, and how she showed no fear in front of Boss Tang, even daring to turn the tables on him. All these things happening today indicated that Zhou Mujiao was at least twenty years old and had traveled to many places and had a wide range of knowledge.
However, Zhou Mujiao, who was standing in front of him, would only turn sixteen next month, and before he rescued her, she was a little girl who had grown up in the bitterness of the Zhou family. She was timid and didn't dare to speak loudly...
Could it be that she isn't Zhou Mujiao? But if she isn't Zhou Mujiao, then who is she?
Ahead was a bookstore. Zhao Yunjing's thoughts were interrupted, his gaze swept over it, but his feet did not stop.
Zhou Mujiao, who was next to her, suddenly exclaimed.
