701: Chapter 317 This chapter isn’t over yet, we need to move on to the next chapter.
The middle-aged man looked up and, noticing that Zhou Yuwen was a young man, couldn’t help showing a hint of disdain.
He quickly adjusted his expensive suit and then rolled up his sleeves a bit to reveal his Rolex: “Oh, you’re her boss?
How much do you pay her a month?”
Zhou Yuwen said, “Not much, just over a million.”
“For a girl with such capability, you pay her, you pay her how much?” The middle-aged man paused, initially planning to flaunt his wealth and then attempt to poach her.
He was a businessman with a bit of fame in Jinling, seeing Zhou Yuwen’s youthfulness, he assumed Zhou Yuwen was the boss of a small company.
He thought he could negotiate with Zhou Yuwen to have Tao Tian transfer to his company and pay her a monthly salary of twenty thousand.
But then Zhou Yuwen dropped the one million bombshell.
“Buddy, are you pulling my leg?” While not outright brainless boasting, Zhou Yuwen’s remark indeed left him somewhat embarrassed.
Some men simply start bragging at the sight of a somewhat pretty woman, but become timid as soon as another man walks over.
Especially when Zhou Yuwen’s group consisted of more than one man, including a hulking fellow as imposing as a wild ox, and there was also a still-charming woman who was now watching Zhou Yuwen with interest.
Zhou Yuwen said, why should I joke with you when we aren’t close.
“This is my girlfriend, and I’m spending a few million a month to take care of her, is that strange?” Zhou Yuwen asked, pointing at Tao Tian.
Tao Tian looked at Zhou Yuwen with an expression touched by his words.
The face of the middle-aged man was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain: “She’s your girlfriend?”
“Yep, you want to add her on WeChat?”
“No, just a misunderstanding.”
It’s different around men, especially with these beautiful girls.
After learning that Tao Tian had a boyfriend, the middle-aged man promptly retreated, but seemed to say something more to Zhou Yuwen as he did, something like rich guys shouldn’t let their girlfriends come out to work.
He spoke softly, talking as he was walking away.
Zhou Yuwen didn’t listen carefully and asked Liu Shuo beside him, “What did he say?”
Liu Shuo also shook his head, saying he didn’t hear clearly, like a fool.
Zhou Yuwen let out a light laugh after hearing this.
And at this moment, Tao Tian kept her eyes fixed intently on Zhou Yuwen, appearing as though she had something to say but refrained, ultimately only uttering “Thank you.”
Zhou Yuwen nodded, “Why are you here alone?
Isn’t Minmin eating over there?”
“I came out to use the bathroom and then got entangled by him,” Tao Tian said, full of grievance and fixating her gaze on Zhou Yuwen as if blaming him.
It was indeed a silent reproach to Zhou Yuwen.
If you had properly claimed her and kept her at home, such an incident wouldn’t have happened.
Zhou Yuwen was somewhat embarrassed under her teary, luminescent eyes; he initially wanted to find an excuse to gloss over it.
However, Zhu Hong took the initiative to greet Tao Tian at this moment: “Hello, are you Zhou Yuwen’s girlfriend?
You are very beautiful.
Let me introduce myself; I am President Zhou’s business partner!”
Zhu Hong generously extended her hand to Tao Tian.
She chuckled and said she had just been discussing girlfriend issues with President Zhou and then unexpectedly met her.
“I was wondering, what kind of girl could conquer President Zhou?”
Zhu Hong said with a smile toward Zhou Yuwen.
Tao Tian looked at the outstretched hand but glanced at Zhou Yuwen instead.
For Zhou Yuwen, having a female companion in the business arena was always a given, so seeing Tao Tian seeking his opinion, he said, “This is President Zhu from Meituan, just call her Sister Zhu.”
With Zhou Yuwen’s approval, Tao Tian immediately adjusted her attitude.
Pretending to be Zhou Yuwen’s girlfriend wasn’t new to her; she had experience, so she quickly shook hands with Zhu Hong, saying, “Sister Zhu, you’ve taken great care of yourself.”
Zhu Hong couldn’t help laughing at the remark, turned to Zhou Yuwen, and said, “Your girlfriend is quite the charmer.”
While they were exchanging pleasantries, a white-collar OL came over and whispered to Zhu Hong, “President Zhu, President Gao is asking for you.”
Zhu Hong nodded and invited Zhou Yuwen and Tao Tian to join her.
She held Tao Tian’s hand, saying she felt an immediate connection.
“Would President Zhou mind letting your girlfriend accompany me for a bit?”
Zhou Yuwen said, of course, he would mind.
Zhu Hong was a competent businesswoman who interacted with Zhou Yuwen with the goal of establishing a good relationship for future cooperation, but there’s always a barrier between men and women.
And now, Tao Tian’s appearance bridged this gap, as she hoped to push through the business deal with Zhou Yuwen with Tao Tian’s help.
The core of Zhou Yuwen’s takeout business was to sell for a good price.
Instead, it might be better to let Tao Tian go out and make contact first.
And so, quite affectionately, Zhu Hong hooked her arm around Tao Tian’s slender waist, and in no time, they seemed like close sisters.
Women, when mixing in the business world, either rely on men.
Or they have to adopt the first lady policy.
Clearly, Zhu Hong was very adept in this regard.
She even joked with palpable interest, “Little friend Tao Tian is so well-nourished; even I can’t keep up.”
The comment made Tao Tian blush and sneak a glance at Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen, however, did not respond.
Peter Gao brought Zhu Hong along simply to introduce his connections in Jinling to her, as well as the higher-ups of their company.
Yet Zhu Hong’s mission for the day was merely to establish a good rapport with Zhou Yuwen; she wasn’t interested in those connections.
