When the doorbell rang, Lu Zhe stood up to open the door, but was stopped by Boss Tang.
"You don't need to worry about it, I'll drive it."
With that, Tang Zehua walked out of the restaurant and went to the foyer to open the door. The person who rang the doorbell then followed Mr. Tang through the villa's main gate and from the foyer to the restaurant.
Lu Zhe was stunned—the person who came was not Tang Qi as expected, but a strange man!
Tang Zehua casually introduced, "This is Assistant Zeng."
Lu Zhe stood up and greeted her: "What a coincidence, I'm also an assistant, but I'm Miss Tang's assistant."
Assistant Zeng smiled and said, "But that might not be the case soon. The offer Mr. Tang gave you is no worse than mine. Take a good look."
After saying that, he stepped forward and handed a document to Lu Zhe.
When Lu Zhe took it, he was surprised to find that it was a formal employment contract!
After handing over the contract, the assistant added, "Our Foher Group specializes in cross-border e-commerce and is currently valued at nearly 10 billion US dollars. Our Foher platform already has tens of millions of monthly active users in Europe, America, and the Middle East..."
"Tens of millions of monthly active users?" Lu Zhe was startled.
As a former internet operations professional, he knew what these numbers meant. E-commerce platforms have monthly active users unlike many other apps; these are people who actually spend real money to buy things. This meant that the revenue of the Fuho Group could be an incredibly staggering astronomical figure.
As far as he knew, e-commerce platforms like Weipinhui only had tens of millions of monthly active users. Could it be that the Boss Tang in front of him was a big shot of that level?
The assistant smiled and nodded, adding, "We only deal in women's clothing; we're a pure women's clothing export platform. Our target users are young women overseas, and we don't have many buyers in China, so you may not have heard of us. But in the women's clothing sector, we've actually challenged Amazon and ZARA."
Lu Zhe was completely stunned: "That strong?"
Assistant: "Yes, and President Tang is the founder of the group and currently the largest shareholder. So, the fact that President Tang is willing to hire you as his secretary is an opportunity that most people would kill for. What do you think?"
"I……"
Lu Zhe hesitated for a moment.
He figured that people wouldn't lie to him about such obvious information. That meant Boss Tang's wealth was far greater than he had initially imagined, even surpassing that of companies like Weipin Club. Working alongside such a business tycoon meant he could forget about buying a car or a house; he'd probably achieve financial freedom in no time and never have to worry about money again.
The price of financial freedom is only small... no, the price is not small at all!
Lu Zhe glanced at Boss Tang across the table, then looked down at the contract in his hand, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse: "Can I go back and think about it?"
The assistant beside him looked surprised, clearly not expecting that this would even require consideration. Would anyone with a normal IQ need to hesitate if offered the job of being Jack Ma's secretary during Tencent's growth phase? The Fuho Group is currently racing towards becoming a women's clothing export giant!
Of course, this assistant could never have imagined the immense burden weighing on Lu Zhe's mind. Behind such an enviable job lay a terrifying price to pay.
Boss Tang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll think about it when I get back. Let's eat first. Zeng, don't stand there, sit down and eat with us."
Just as Assistant Zeng obediently sat down, the villa door opened again—this time, the doorbell didn't ring, and the uninvited guest opened the door directly from the outside.
Immediately afterward, Tang Qi appeared amidst a flurry of footsteps.
Today, Miss Tang didn't wear pigtails; instead, she let her long hair down and put her hands on her hips, giving off a surprisingly menacing aura.
Tang Qi, her face stern, said angrily, "Dad, why did you call him here!"
Tang Zehua was taken aback: "And how did you end up here?"
Throughout the journey, Mr. Tang had been paying close attention and was certain that Lu Zhe hadn't had a chance to message his daughter, let alone call her. The only time he answered the phone was from someone else. So, how did the child know?
Tang Qi ran over, grabbed Lu Zhe's wrist, and dragged him outside.
Lu Zhe didn't resist, so she dragged him to his feet and left the restaurant. But just then, Boss Tang's voice came from inside.
"Go back and think it over carefully. The most important thing for a young person is their future!"
After that, you couldn't hear anything anymore, because Lu Zhe had been pulled outside by Tang Qi and the door was closed.
The feeling of being pulled along by the wrist by a girl wasn't bad. However, Lu Zhe was a little distracted at that moment—he was thinking about the choices he faced.
Soon, the villa was left behind by the two.
“We’ll go out through the side door here…” Tang Qi said, slightly out of breath, “Xue Xiaodie is in the car, waiting for us.”
Lu Zhe: "Xue Xiaodie is here too?"
Tang Qi glanced at him and laughed, "Of course! Look how timely we are, just in time to save you from this predicament!"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment, then sighed.
Tang Qi slowed her pace and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhe: "Why didn't you tell me sooner that your family is so powerful?"
Tang Qi tilted her head: "The company boss is my dad, not me. Why should I tell you all this? Besides, do you really want to work for him?"
Lu Zhe sighed: "To be honest, I hesitated for a moment just now."
Tang Qi was taken aback: "Are you really hesitating?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "The future is indeed very important, but after thinking about it carefully, I think I'll pass. Working under your father would mean doing much more than just a job."
Tang Qi's expression also became more serious: "Yes, you're straight, right?"
Lu Zhe: "Nonsense."
After a while, the two finally ran out of the Luhu Villa area through a side gate. A ride-hailing car was parked on the roadside near the entrance.
As they approached the car, a young girl got out.
"Are you alright?" Xue Xiaodie asked, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Lu Zhe's hand.
Tang Qi was holding his wrist.
"No problem, all done!" Tang Qi patted her chest, looking like a hero.
Xue Xiaodie opened the car door and said, "Let's get out of here quickly, go back and find a place to have dinner, and then we can talk slowly."
At this point, a seemingly minor issue came into their way.
Lu Zhe, Tang Qi, and Xue Xiaodie are sitting in one car. How should their seats be arranged?
