Reborn in 2006, it's incredibly awesome!

In the large private room of the Chinese restaurant on the third floor, a large mahogany round table was covered with a plain white tablecloth, and nine people were seated in order. The electric turntable turned slowly, reflecting the light of the crystal chandelier overhead, making it glitter like gold.

Having informed the kitchen in advance, the food was served extremely quickly. In no time at all, all sixteen dishes were served, filling the table to the brim.

Peking duck, braised pork intestines, stir-fried beef in 18 seconds, steamed chicken in a clay pot, spicy stir-fried porcini mushrooms, garlic-flavored morel mushrooms, braised sea cucumber with scallions, steamed grouper, braised beef with soy sauce, salt-baked Boston beef, cheese shrimp balls... each dish is exquisitely presented on custom-made plates, like works of art.

Everyone at the table was stunned.

The older generation all came from poor backgrounds and liked to save money. They didn't have a decent meal during their trip; they ate noodles or fried rice the whole time, and sometimes they even brought steamed buns to visit tourist attractions.

Wang Qian and Tian Jing had just graduated from university and hadn't started working yet. They were broke and had no say in the matter.

Upon seeing this table of food, both girls' eyes welled up with tears.

Lin Feng glanced around, picked up his chopsticks, and tapped the edge of the plate: "What are you all looking at? Eat up, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Guo Yan said with a pained expression, "Oh my god! How much did all this food cost? We've been saving every penny on the trip, and this one meal has wiped it all out."

Grandma nodded in agreement: "That's right, Xiaofeng. We're all family. Why make such a big fuss? It's such a waste of money."

Lin Feng laughed and said, "It doesn't cost any money. Didn't I tell you? This is our own hotel."

Guo Yan glared at her. "Bullshit! Ingredients don't cost money? Cooks don't need to be paid? Do you think your mother is stupid?"

Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, speaking casually, "Hey, look at you, what's the rush? I'm already so rich, why are you all saving money? Let me tell you, I eat this much every day, and I tip people five hundred at a time. You guys stay in those presidential suites, eight thousand eight a night, and I don't even care. When I go shopping, I don't come home until I've spent two million. Isn't the point of making money to spend it? Otherwise, what's the point of making so much money?"

Guo Yan's lips twitched. "You spendthrift! Your father and I try our best to save money, and you just keep wasting it?"

Guo Yan clutched her chest: "Alright, alright, stop talking. You spendthrift, are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"

Wang Qian chimed in from the side, "Big sister, that's not right of you. Isn't the point of making money to spend it? You can't take it to your grave, can you? Take this trip for example. If you didn't know better, you'd think we were on a pilgrimage to the West. We've almost completed all eighty-one tribulations. We've been eating haphazardly every meal, and I've even lost weight."

Tian Jing smiled and added softly, "Exactly, all along the way it's been nothing but steamed buns, noodles, fried rice, and fried pancakes. I... I feel like my breasts have gotten smaller."

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table was stunned for a moment, and then their lips twitched collectively.

Lin Haiyang almost spat out his tea and quickly waved his hand to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, let's eat! It's such a waste to let such good food get cold."

"Yes, yes, eat quickly!" Wang Qian and Tian Jing quickly picked up their chopsticks, lowered their heads and ate in silence, their cheeks flushed.

Only then did everyone pick up their chopsticks and begin devouring the food.

As a result, Guo Yan ate the most, stuffing her mouth full, just like she was eating at a big banquet back home.

Lin Haiyang, standing beside him, was both amused and exasperated: "Yan'er, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. You were just saying it was a waste of money, but now you're the one eating with the most gusto."

Guo Yan's mouth was stuffed full, making her speech unclear. "You talk too much nonsense. I've been bored to death on the way here. Besides, the food at this five-star hotel is really delicious!"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Halfway through the meal, we weren't hungry anymore, so we slowed down and started chatting about everyday things.

Cao Guilian and Tian Jing exchanged a glance and subtly conveyed their plan to each other in the room.

Tian Jing coughed lightly, put down her chopsticks, looked at Lin Feng, and said with a hint of probing in her voice, "Lin Feng, can I trouble you with something? It's nothing serious."

Lin Feng looked up at her and said gently, "Tell me what it is, and I'll definitely do what I can to help."

Tian Jing twisted the tablecloth between her fingers, still a little embarrassed. "It's like this, neither Qianqian nor I graduated from any prestigious university, so we can't compare to you from Beijing University of Technology. We've both graduated for almost a year now and still haven't found suitable jobs. With so many companies in Beijing, do you have any positions suitable for us? Normal pay is fine, no need to give us any special treatment."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qian's eyes lit up. She slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that! Lin Feng, you own a company, so we can work for you! It'll save us the trouble of running around the job market every day. Just pay us our normal salaries."

Lin Feng nodded and asked first, "What did you two study?"

Tian Jingxian said, "I studied computer applications."

"I studied financial accounting," Wang Qian added.

Lin Feng tapped his fingers on the table. "That's perfect for you. Auntie, your finance background is just what I need. I just started Xinghuo Media, and right now we only have two cashiers, not a proper finance manager. You can go to Fenghuo Technology first, learn from the CFO for three days, familiarize yourself with the processes, and then go to Xinghuo Media as the finance manager, overseeing all the accounts. Your initial salary is four thousand, and the social insurance and housing fund contributions will be paid at the highest standard. Once you get the hang of it, your salary will increase."

Wang Qian was so excited she almost jumped for joy. She had been looking for a job for almost half a year, but because she was a recent graduate with no experience, no reputable companies would hire her. She could only find junior accounting jobs, which paid only about 2,500 yuan a month and only included three types of insurance.

Big companies wouldn't even give them an interview. Four thousand yuan plus five social insurances and one housing fund—in a first-tier city in 2007, for a recent college graduate, that was like a windfall.

She nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! That's great! I'm not going on the trip anymore. Traveling with these old guys is pure torture, like going on a pilgrimage to the West. I'll just go to work tomorrow!"

Third Aunt glared at her, "You child! We spent money to bring you out here to broaden your horizons, and you've developed some problems?"

She was scolding him, but she had a smile on her face. Her daughter had a proper job at a big company, and she was happier than anyone else.

Lin Feng then turned to Tian Jing and asked, "You're studying computer applications, which school did you go to?"

Tian Jing sounded a little hesitant, and her voice lacked confidence: "Hebei Software Vocational and Technical College, in Baoding. I scored 436 on the college entrance exam, the school isn't very good..."

Lin Feng waved his hand, not taking it seriously. "It's alright, as long as you can do the work. Go to Feng Huo Technology, learn from a technical consultant for three months, and work as an assistant. The salary during the training period is three thousand, plus social insurance and housing fund contributions. After three months, you'll be a full-time employee, starting at six thousand, and your salary will increase based on your abilities."

Tian Jing looked up abruptly, her eyes shining with gratitude, nodding vigorously: "Okay! Thank you, Lin Feng! I will definitely study hard and work hard!"

She spent more than half a year looking for a job, so she knows the job market all too well.

In the computer industry, academic qualifications are paramount. Without a 985 or 211 degree, you can't even get your foot in the door. For someone from a top university like hers to get into a booming tech giant like Peakfire Technology, and even into a core technology department, is something she never even dared to dream of.

She looked up at Lin Feng, the light falling on his face, making him look handsome and composed.

The girlish infatuation in her heart had been mixed with genuine admiration and gratitude.

After the meal, the work matter was settled.

Amidst the mess of cups and plates at the table, the elders chatted animatedly about everyday matters, while Lin Feng told the two of them about some things happening at the company.
