Chapter 722: Chapter 258: Recruiting Qin Shiqing into the Company
"As expected from President Su, impressive!"
This time it wasn’t flattery, Zhang Yuanhang was genuinely impressed.
He used to think of toppling someone like him, which was truly wishful thinking.
While speaking, he passed Su Zelin a cigarette, personally lit it, and poured a glass of whiskey: "President Su, it’s a rare honor for you to take time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday. You must have a great time tonight, and if there’s anything you need, just say the word!"
"Alright, Young Master Zhang, then let me first wish you a happy birthday!"
Su Zelin raised his glass.
"Thank you, thank you, you can just call me Yuanhang!"
After Young Master Zhang, Sister Ru also came over with a glass of wine, beaming with a smile: "President Su, I toast to you, thank you for looking after my husband so well."
Sister Ru was quite generous, or else she wouldn’t be the official girlfriend.
Although she wasn’t the youngest or most attractive among Zhang Yuanhang’s girls, her status remained unshaken.
Young Master Zhang could be flirtatious, but he was still pretty sharp.
The official girlfriend couldn’t just be eye candy; she had to be beneficial to his career.
"I don’t deserve such praise."
Su Zelin clinked glasses with them too.
Most of Zhang Yuanhang’s lowlife friends knew each other, and they all rushed over to offer cigarettes and drinks.
A certain girl was puzzled and asked her boyfriend Zhou Yuan: "Who is this guy? He seems really important."
She was Zhou Yuan’s new girlfriend and hadn’t met Su Zelin yet. But seeing he was about the age of a university student, or a recent graduate, yet being treated like the main character, made her curious.
"He’s the Operations Director of New Era, our big boss follows him for meals, do you think he’s important or not?"
Zhou Yuan briefly explained, leaving the girl quite surprised.
She herself had just graduated from university less than a year ago, and someone else had already become an Operations Director at a big company, certainly impressive!
"Later we’ll go over and pay our respects to President Su, be sharp and don’t embarrass yourself!"
Zhou Yuan advised.
"Oh, got it!"
After pouring a glass of wine, Zhou Yuan brought his new girlfriend over, wearing a fawning smile: "President Su, I toast to you!"
He respected and feared this young man standing before him.
Because of him, he once forcefully swallowed a bottle of Maotai. He used to like drinking Maotai, but now just the sight of it made him want to puke, leaving a shadow in his heart.
Su Zelin nodded slightly and clinked glasses with Zhou Yuan.
Although they had some minor unpleasantness before, it was a small matter, and such trivial grudges weren’t on his mind.
However, seeing Zhou Yuan reminded him of Tao Min.
He hadn’t seen or contacted Senior Sister Tao since she graduated, and wondered how she was doing.
After a round of drinks, egged on by Zhang Yuanhang, Su Zelin sang "Love You More Than I Can Say," drawing cheers from the whole room.
Young Master Zhang knew how to flatter; he understood that the lowlife was good at singing, so he intentionally let him shine.
But after a song, the lowlife retreated to the corner of the private room, clearly showing he wished to be alone, so everyone wisely left him be.
Pulled out his phone, opened QQ to find Minmin Mutel was online.
He often saw Tao Min online, yet she never messaged him, and he did the same.
The last meeting before graduation made Su Zelin realize Tao Min had feelings for him, the quite fond kind.
But she didn’t want to get attached, so she chose to avoid it.
Therefore, he thought it best not to disrupt someone else’s peaceful life.
Opened the chat box, typed "Senior Sister, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
Hesitated a bit, in the end couldn’t bring himself to press send, and closed the chat box.
On the other side, in a rental place in Shenghai.
Tao Min also closed the "Handsome since age one" chat box, letting out a long sigh.
She had thought often about messaging this long-lost QQ friend, but never succeeded.
Stayed in the private room until Zhang Yuanhang cut the cake, and Su Zelin excused himself to leave.
Returning to Song Yuwei’s rental, climbed into bed, and then noticed she was still awake.
Just as he got into bed, the female assistant turned over.
Su Zelin also noted she was wearing a very seductive nightgown.
"Boss, you’re back!"
She flashed a flirtatious smile at him and snuggled into the covers.
