That very evening, He Wenlin met He Shan's suitor.
He drove a white BMW, wore glasses, was very refined, and was of decent height, definitely around 1.76 meters. He was slightly overweight, but in a comfortable and clean way, not greasy at all. He had a very high-class demeanor and could be described as a tall, rich, and handsome man.
She must be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
When they arrived, they were holding roses.
He's rich, good-looking, tall, and even knows how to send flowers—most girls would find it hard to resist.
Hongying chimed in, "Rose again! It's so enviable!"
He Shan replied with a smile, "You have flowers too? Do you have money to spend?"
"Manager, you just want me to order something good, right?"
"Are you off work? Let's go grab some late-night snacks?" Luo Wenbin said, interrupting the verbal sparring between the two.
He Shan glanced at He Wenlin, who was waiting for her: "It's too late, I'm not going. I'm going home with my boss; she's been waiting for me for a while."
He Wenlin: "It's okay, you can go, don't worry about me."
Luo Wenbin laughed and said, "Let's all go together. We can eat nearby. It's so late, and it'll save you from going far."
"No, I don't think it's appropriate to be a third wheel."
"Shanshan hasn't agreed to my request yet. You're her boss and childhood friend, and this lady is her colleague whom she sees every day. It's only natural for me to treat you to a late-night snack. I also hope you can put in a good word for me before the New Year so that I can get a permanent position soon."
Luo Wenbin is very good at speaking.
He Shan's eyes don't lie.
She is very happy at this moment.
He Wenlin looked at He Shan with a teasing expression and said, "Then I'll go mooch this late-night snack?"
He Shan blushed a little, and Luo Wenbin chimed in, "Let's go together, there's a barbecue stall near the mall."
After closing time, the four of them went to a late-night snack stall together.
Luo Wenbin was very thoughtful; he asked everyone what they liked to eat and what they couldn't eat.
They ate their late-night snack until midnight.
Since He Shan lives in a villa area with He Wenlin, she doesn't need Luo Wenbin to drive her.
On the way back, He Wenlin asked He Shan, "Do you like him?"
He Shan probably didn't expect He Wenlin to ask so directly, and said somewhat shyly, "I don't know, but I was very happy to see him. Linlin, what do you think of him?"
"He's very generous, romantic, and speaks and acts well."
He Shan was overjoyed to hear He Wenlin praise him.
"but……"
He Wenlin then mentioned "but".
“He’s a local, from a very well-off family. His parents are businessmen, and he’s a college graduate himself. He’s doing very well now. Shanshan, I have to say something, don’t be upset, but I think marriage should be between equals.”
He Shan's good mood vanished instantly: "You think I'm not good enough for him?"
“It’s not that you’re not good enough for him. In fact, you’re already very outstanding. But your current excellence can’t bridge the gap between the two of you and between your two families. His parents will definitely object.”
He Shan, a girl from the countryside with no high level of education, earned more than 2,000 yuan a month in 2005 and even bought a house in Shaoxing. This puts her ahead of many, many people, and she has surpassed more than 90% of the population.
However, Luo Wenbin's personal circumstances and family background were far superior to hers. Her mother ran a small business at a street stall, and her father worked for the road maintenance team, though not as a permanent employee.
Luo Wenbin's parents own a clothing factory with hundreds of employees, while Luo Wenbin himself works as a hotel manager. The difference between them is significant.
He Wenlin: "Unless he likes you, insists on being with you no matter what, and becomes extremely persistent to the point that he can't live without you, his parents might give in."
Currently, He Wenlin feels that Luo Wenbin's feelings for her may not have reached that point yet.
Moreover, Luo Wenbin is romantic, considerate, and wealthy. At his age, he's probably quite experienced.
He Wenlin was worried that he was a playboy who would deceive innocent young girls.
Although she had lived an extra lifetime, she was not at the point where she could tell whether a person was capable or not at a glance.
He Wenlin added, "If you're after his money or his family background and don't really like him, then everything is fine. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it's not a big deal. The problem is if you like him as a person and are after him for who he is, and end up getting trapped yourself. It's very painful to love someone you can't have."
He Shan looked at He Wenlin and said, "You talk as if you've experienced it yourself."
He Wenlin smiled but didn't say anything.
I did experience that, but that was in my past life, a long time ago.
She had long since lost all feeling about it.
"I'm telling you all this so you can be mentally prepared. As a friend, I want you to be happy."
He Shan sighed: "Actually, I understand what you're saying. His family background is too good, and he's a college graduate, while I'm just a junior high school graduate."
He Shan never thought there was anything wrong with being a junior high school graduate, but now she's starting to feel that her education level is too low.
"If you two have confirmed your relationship and he wants to have sex with you, remember to use protection and avoid getting pregnant. My personal suggestion is to wait until you're discussing marriage before having sex."
He Shan blushed deeply after hearing He Wenlin's words.
"You're so outstanding, didn't you have a boyfriend at school? Did no one pursue you?" He Shan steered the conversation towards He Wenlin.
“Someone did ask me out to dinner last time, but I declined. I don’t like childish people, and maybe because he saw I drive a Mercedes, he never contacted me again.”
"He probably isn't as rich or as capable as you, and he thinks you're too amazing and he's not good enough for you."
“It’s not a matter of whether we’re good enough or not,” He Wenlin said. “Alright, we’re home. Go wash up and go to bed early.”

Zeng Kunpeng is very efficient.
Two days later, he found a tutor for the tutoring center and handed a stack of materials to He Wenlin.
"Mr. He, here is the basic information of the teachers I found. I also found four sales representatives, and this is their information."
He Wenlin looked them over one by one: "Okay, bring them to the company tomorrow to complete the onboarding procedures. Don't rush the enrollment. Once the teachers are confirmed, I will give your sales staff a set of course materials."
"Tomorrow isn't the weekend, they all have classes, and it takes a long time to get there, so could we schedule it for the evening?"
"Okay, meet at the company at 6:45 PM."
“I’ve added their QQ account, so send them a notification now.”
He Wenlin also notified the factory to produce some cupcakes and cream cakes tomorrow, which can be given to the new tutors as snacks.
They all arrived at the tutoring center before 6:30.
The tutoring center wasn't fully renovated yet. The renovation team finished get off work in the evening, so we tidied up a bit, put out some cakes and pastries, and set up a meeting room.
It's not well-decorated yet, and the environment is a bit poor, but we'll have to make do with it.
