Xue Xiaodie's call...
Lu Zhe glanced at Boss Tang and, seeing that he had no objections, answered the phone.
After the call connected, he asked, "Hello, what's up?"
Xue Xiaodie's voice was a little low: "I do have something I want to talk to you about, it's about work. If you have time later, could you call me back?"
Lu Zhe: "I'm free right now. What's up with work?"
Xue Xiaodie lowered her voice even further: "I mean, call me when you're alone. I'm dealing with some complicated issues here, and I don't want anyone to hear..."
Lu Zhe: "Oh, okay then, no problem."
Xue Xiaodie: "By the way, how are you now? You haven't encountered any danger, have you?"
Lu Zhe: "It should be alright, just a normal chat, but... never mind, it's nothing."
He wanted to say, "I just don't quite understand why Boss Tang offered such a high salary to recruit me," but then he thought that such things couldn't be explained over the phone, and besides, he hadn't decided whether to accept or not, so he decided not to bring it up for now.
Xue Xiaodie earnestly advised, "It's good that you didn't encounter any danger, but you must take good care of yourself when you go to an unfamiliar place alone."
Lu Zhe smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I'm always very clever."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, as if Xue Xiaodie was hesitating about something. But after a brief pause, she spoke normally: "Then be careful, bye..."
"Okay, goodbye."
Lu Zhe hung up the phone.
Tang Zehua, who was standing nearby, asked, "Is he your friend?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Yes, that girl from earlier."
Tang Zehua clearly didn't take the girl seriously, simply smiling calmly: "Let's get back to our previous topic. Regarding the secretary job, I can talk to you about the job requirements and compensation at the dinner table later. Listen carefully before you make a decision, OK?"
Lu Zhe: "OK".
He thought about it and felt that there was probably no harm in talking to the boss in front of him, but of course, he still remained somewhat wary.
In Lu Zhe's view, the boss must have thought that his son had hooked up with Miss Tang. In order not to offend his daughter, he did not resort to violent means to break them up, but instead offered such a tempting job in an attempt to get him away from his daughter.
Once they've actually left, when to fire them and how to handle the situation is entirely up to them, isn't it?
Therefore, Lu Zhe didn't think he could really get a good job with a monthly salary of 30,000 and a promising future; he knew he wasn't that naive.
After a long silence, he suddenly asked, "By the way, Mr. Tang, I wanted to ask something else. If I become your secretary, I'll definitely be by your side, right?"
Tang Zehua nodded: "Of course."
Lu Zhe: "Your office isn't in Chengdu, is it?"
Tang Zehua smiled slightly: "In Guangdong Province, in Guangzhou. That place is more developed than Chengdu, and the housing prices are not too high, so it's a pretty good place to settle down."
Lu Zhe smiled and agreed, but inwardly he thought to himself, "See, I knew this was Boss Tang's real intention!"
The straight-line distance between Chengdu and Guangzhou is over 3,000 li (approximately 1,500 kilometers). Miss Tang will be attending university in Chengdu for four years, but if I go to Guangzhou, I will be completely separated from Tang Qi, and any potential romance will naturally come to nothing.
Lu Zhe felt that the sinister intentions of the Boss Tang in front of him were already obvious to him.
But of course, he wouldn't say much. Whether he agreed or refused, there was no need to bring it up.
At this moment, Tang Zehua pointed to the road ahead and said with a smile, "We're almost there. The ecological zone is just ahead. I have a villa there."
Lu Zhe clicked his tongue: "A villa in the Luxelakes Ecological Zone? It must be very expensive..."
Tang Zehua laughed and said, "Fortunately, housing prices are cheap in Chengdu. I bought a detached villa here, which is nearly 500 square meters and cost only tens of millions."
Only... tens of millions...
Lu Zhe took a deep breath and decided not to make any rash comments, but to listen to the big boss Versailles.
Tang Zehua patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Let's have dinner at my place later and chat while we eat."
————
Lu Zhe really got to see something today.
Mr. Tang's house isn't the most expensive in this eco-zone, but it's already quite an eye-opener for Lu Zhe.
The surrounding area was shaded by lush trees, interspersed with artificial hills and a lake, creating a tranquil atmosphere. He drove into the garage, then passed through a gate, and entered the villa. Therefore, he didn't see what the exterior of the villa looked like.
Inside the villa, the living room is a spacious area of over 100 square meters, with a distinctly artistic feel. It even features a bar-style curved metal counter, track lighting on the ceiling, and a wine cabinet covering almost half a wall. If the lighting were a bit dimmer, and a bartender were added, it would feel like having a bar right in your home.
There was a spiral staircase in the living room on the first floor, leading directly to the second floor. Boss Tang stepped onto the staircase first and casually said, "Let's wait a bit. I'll call the chef to cook and take care of some things. There's wine over there, and a TV or something. Make yourself at home."
Lu Zhe smiled somewhat awkwardly: "It's alright, you go ahead with your work."
Mr. Tang went upstairs to the second floor. Only one person remained in the large living room.
Lu Zhe walked around and found the restroom. Needless to say, the restroom was clean and tidy, but more importantly, it was more than twice the size of the small single room he used to share.
He went inside, closed the door, and dialed Xue Xiaodie's number.
After the call connected, he said, "I'm all alone now. What were you going to tell me?"
Xue Xiaodie was still a little worried: "Are you sure there's no one else around?"
Lu Zhe: "I'm sure, I'm in the bathroom, and I'm all alone."
Xue Xiaodie: "There won't be any audio recording either..."
Lu Zhe interrupted, "Who the hell would put a bug in their own bathroom? Don't worry, absolutely no one can hear it."
Xue Xiaodie: "That's good. You must listen carefully to what I'm about to say and stay calm."
Lu Zhe: "Don't worry, I'm very calm right now."
Xue Xiaodie: "Then I'll tell you now... wait, there's someone more suitable to say it than me."
Lu Zhe: "What?"
Xue Xiaodie: "Miss Tang Qi is right next to me. She knows more about this matter, so let her tell you."
Lu Zhe was completely baffled, unable to understand how Tang Qi and Xue Xiaodie had met. However, the sound of Miss Tang's voice coming from the phone immediately put his doubts to rest.
Because he heard even more shocking words.
Tang Qi: "My dad's taste has changed; now he's a man who likes men."
Lu Zhe: "Huh??"
Tang Qi: "I'm not entirely clear about what happened back then, but Lu Zhe, you look a lot like someone, the man who helped him open the door to a new world."
Lu Zhe: "Huh?!"
