Diary of Getting Rich Quick in the South

How could I not understand what Su Wan meant?

"No way, she's seven or eight years older than me, a company CEO, and worth hundreds of millions. How could she possibly be interested in a poor guy like me?"

Su Wan said earnestly, "Don't underestimate yourself. People grow up gradually. Many times, status and position are not the most important things. What's most precious is people's hearts."

I scratched my head, still a little confused: "I understand the logic, but it's impossible for President Zhang to be interested in me. She's been very kind to me, but ultimately it's because of you."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan said with a hint of helplessness, "You're still too young. Dong Ting is immersed in a circle where profit is paramount, surrounded by backstabbing and treachery."

"The more hypocrisy and scheming she's seen, the rarer it is for her to encounter someone as pure-hearted, honest, and simple as you. Wouldn't a bottle of ink want to spill on a blank sheet of paper?"

She paused, then added, "You should be careful yourself. I shouldn't interfere too much in these matters. Don't bring anything when you go tonight. Talk less, do more, and avoid saying anything if you can. The more you say, the more mistakes you make."

After hanging up the phone, I felt a little smug.

Anyone would be thrilled to be noticed by a CEO with a net worth of over 100 million.

With the two thousand yuan Su Wan gave me, I can now consider myself to have some assets.

I spent 120 yuan on a tracksuit, and then spent another 15 yuan to get a haircut, where the hairdresser gave me an American-style spiky look.

My hair used to cover my eyes, but now I feel much more energetic. It's just that my head feels a little chilly when the wind blows.

I arrived at Cuifu by taxi at 5:30 sharp.

When I got off the bus, I saw Bai Yan, supervisor Xu Mingde, and several colleagues.

So it wasn't a dinner invitation just for me. I knew it! How could Zhang Dongting possibly be interested in a poor guy like me?

"Chen An, we owe it all to you today. Otherwise, we would never have dared to step into such a high-class restaurant as Cui Fu."

"Yeah, a simple meal costs several thousand yuan, which is enough for my monthly salary."

Several colleagues greeted me with smiles.

Bai Yan didn't come up to talk to me. She had a stern face, like someone owed her millions, and she was playing on her phone with her head down.

Xu Mingde, maintaining a superior demeanor, naturally didn't greet me first.

I didn't get carried away by Zhang Dongting's special attention, and I took the initiative to step forward and call out to Supervisor Xu.

Although I don't smoke, I bought a pack of soft cigarettes on the way and handed them out to everyone.

We'll be working together every day from now on, so let's try our best to maintain good relationships as colleagues.

Zhang Dongting arrived quickly.

However, he didn't arrive alone; there were several middle-aged men and women with him.

Judging from their cars and clothing, they must be either rich or powerful.

"Everyone's here, let's not stand here anymore, let's go inside."

Zhang Dongting glanced at me, then led the other bosses inside, turning back to instruct, "Chen An, I'm here with some guests to discuss business. Could you please look after Manager Xu and his colleagues?"

Isn't this a bit of a reversal of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?

I'm new here on my first day, and you want me to take care of Supervisor Xu? Are you trying to make things difficult for me?

Surely such a high-ranking CEO wouldn't be so clueless about basic social etiquette?

Or is it a deliberate way of telling them, "I'm one of yours"?

I glanced at Xu Mingde furtively and noticed that although he was smiling, his expression was somewhat unnatural, but he didn't say anything.

The other colleagues chatted and laughed, not giving it much thought.

Bai Yan glanced at me with surprise, her gaze somewhat strange.

Seeing me looking over, she lowered her head and went into the Cui residence.

He quickened his pace as he passed Xu Mingde, clearly not wanting to walk with him.

As soon as you enter the lobby, you can hear old Shanghai music playing, which creates a special atmosphere. The young ladies who provide service throughout the visit are also dressed in cheongsams.

Although we were seated in the main hall, Zhang Dongting served us only the most expensive dishes; this whole meal would have cost at least five thousand yuan.

The dishes were all served, but my colleagues didn't touch their chopsticks; they were all taking pictures and posting them on WeChat Moments.

I was just wondering whether I should follow the trend and take a few pictures when my phone received a message.

It was sent by Su Wan.

"Chen An, have you arrived at the hotel yet?"

I replied, "Yes, the food has been served."

Su Wan: "Don't drink tonight, okay?"

Why?

"I'm afraid she'll drug you."

hiss.

I gasped, thinking, "No way, a big boss like him would drug my brother's employee?"

My face was burning hot. I quickly looked up at the others and saw that they were all editing their photos and no one was paying attention to me. I quickly took a short video and sent it over.

"Sister Wan, you guessed wrong before. Mr. Zhang didn't invite me to dinner alone; all my colleagues from the sales department came."

Su Wan replied quickly: "Then you should drink less too. Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health. Call me if you need anything."

I had just finished replying to a message and was about to put my phone down when another message popped up.

I thought it was Su Wan, but when I picked it up, I was surprised to find it was Bai Yan.

I subconsciously looked up at her and found that she was talking to her female colleague next to her and wasn't looking at me at all.

Out of curiosity, I opened the message and found that her message was the same as Su Wan's.

"Don't drink tonight, drive me home later."

I thought I was seeing things, so I looked at it several times. It was definitely Bai Yan.

Has this woman changed her ways?

She's had a long face ever since the first day I arrived, and now she actually wants me to drive her home?

Does she know what it means when a woman drinks at night and asks a man to take her home?

I said, "I don't have a car either."

"I have."

"Then why don't you just not drink?"

"I have to drink it."

Before I could even ask, she sent me a long message.

"Chen An, I'm sure you can see that Xu Mingde has feelings for me. He lives in the neighborhood next to mine, and every time I have a social engagement and I haven't been drinking, he insists that I drive him home. He sits in the passenger seat and always takes the opportunity to touch me inappropriately."

"But if I drink with him, I won't be able to drive. Even if he calls a designated driver, we can only sit together in the back seat, and we still can't escape his harassment."

"So I want to ask you to please not drink alcohol at the dinner later, and take me home afterwards. Having colleagues around will make him more restrained."

"My family isn't well-off, and I really need this job. Don't laugh at me, but sleeping with him isn't a big deal, but..."

But what happened next? She didn't say.

I know that Bai Yan had no other choice but to talk to me.

I hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can help you, but you have to tell me why you hate me so much."

Bai Yan replied quickly: "I don't hate you, I hate every new person who comes to the sales department, because there's always a welcome banquet for new people, and I can't always avoid it."

Seeing that I hadn't replied to her message, Bai Yan sent another one: "Please, I will repay you."

Besides this sentence, there is also a picture of beautiful legs wearing jeans.

Judging from the angle, it was taken secretly with a phone placed under the table.

Because the photo was taken in a rush, there are some double images in the picture.
