Chapter 1094: Chapter 468: A Sensible Girl (Part 2)
“I would love it if my ex was doing worse and worse, ideally begging on the street—no, wait, brother-in-law, I don’t have an ex! Oh, you’re trying to trick me!” Tang Yurou suddenly realized.
But Zhou Yuwen just smiled; he didn’t actually care whether Tang Yurou had an ex or not.
On the way to dropping Tang Yurou off at the bar, Zhou Yuwen was more interested in Jiang Xinyi and her plans, like what business her family was in and how she intended to get the company listed.
Tang Yurou asked if Zhou Yuwen was trying to dig up information about Jiang Xinyi through her.
Zhou Yuwen said he was just asking casually.
“If you don’t want to talk, forget it.”
“No, brother-in-law, I’m under your care now, so of course I have to side with you. Don’t worry, brother-in-law, if it concerns my sister, I’ll definitely tell you everything I know.” Tang Yurou hurried to show loyalty.
Zhou Yuwen didn’t say anything.
Then Tang Yurou explained a bit about Jiang Xinyi’s family background. As a Jinling local, Jiang Xinyi’s family was worth six or seven billion, making them notable merchants in Jinling. Their business covered various sectors, primarily traditional home appliances. However, Jiang Xinyi wasn’t just stepping into the family business; she took over a real estate company from the family and plans to list it in three years.
Zhou Yuwen thought Jiang Xinyi had a good vision; the next three years would be a golden era for real estate. If she developed it well, she might even elevate her family’s social standing.
After Tang Yurou finished speaking, they were almost at the bar entrance.
Tang Yurou then realized: “Hold on, brother-in-law, I didn’t follow you all this way just to talk about this. I have something important to discuss with you.”
Zhou Yuwen asked her what it was.
Tang Yurou said that Zhou Yuwen had mentioned in a meeting that he wanted to hire professional managerial talent from outside. She happened to have a few friends who had returned from abroad and were currently unemployed. She wanted to ask if Zhou Yuwen would like to give them a try.
Zhou Yuwen said he wasn’t willing to use the friends Tang Yurou played with; how could he know if they were genuinely talented?
Tang Yurou got anxious and said they definitely had talent.
“Brother-in-law, what do you think of me?” Tang Yurou quickly asked.
Zhou Yuwen thought for a moment and said, “Not bad, they’re quite big.”
The sudden innuendo caught Tang Yurou off guard, and her face turned red, “I’m not talking about that!”
Well, it wasn’t Zhou Yuwen’s fault. Tang Yurou was dressed in a nightclub style with a revealing outfit, and asking such a sudden question, Zhou Yuwen simply gave a straightforward answer.
Tang Yurou was speechless, but she felt a bit happy inside. She clarified that she was asking about her abilities.
Zhou Yuwen seriously thought about it and said her abilities were indeed impressive.
“Somewhat beyond my expectations.”
Tang Yurou was delighted and said, “My friends are all more capable than I am.”
“Really?”
“Absolutely. If not, brother-in-law, you don’t have to pay them salaries.” Tang Yurou promised.
Zhou Yuwen did indeed need talent; seeing Tang Yurou’s assurance, he said, let them come to the company for a try.
“We’ll have them interviewed, of course.”
“I understand,”
By this time, they had reached the bar entrance, but Tang Yurou didn’t get out of the car. She continued talking about these matters with Zhou Yuwen, and only after finishing did she smile and get out.
Before getting out, she asked Zhou Yuwen if he wanted to join her at the bar.
“It’s all familiar friends, and they have heard your stories.”
Tang Yurou warmly invited him, but Zhou Yuwen politely declined.
“I’m getting old; I’m not used to such things.”
After saying that, Zhou Yuwen realized he was probably younger than Tang Yurou.
Tang Yurou was also momentarily stunned.
“Goodness, calling him brother-in-law had become second nature, to the point of forgetting Zhou Yuwen’s actual age.”
Zhou Yuwen seemed only nineteen.
But honestly, Zhou Yuwen did seem a bit mature for his age.
The crowd hanging out with Tang Yurou was just a bunch of wealthy second-generation heirs. They were hoping for a chance to meet Zhou Yuwen.
After all, every second-generation heir wants to show some achievements to their family.
If they could connect with Zhou Yuwen, just a hint of him could make them stand out in their family.
But Zhou Yuwen wasn’t interested. After dropping Tang Yurou off, he drove away.
Watching Zhou Yuwen leave so decisively, Tang Yurou felt a bit disappointed.
Sigh, if she could really bring Zhou Yuwen into their circle, her standing among her second-generation friends would be entirely different.
Zheng Yanyan and the others had already gone home, and Zhou Yuwen stayed at Tao Tian’s place that night.
When Zhou Yuwen arrived, Tao Tian was in the kitchen, wearing an apron and preparing dinner. She was dressed casually, but her curvy figure couldn’t be hidden even with an apron on; it was quite prominent.
Besides Tao Tian, Qu Jing was also at Tao Tian’s place, watching TV.
Seeing Zhou Yuwen come back, she quickly got up to get him slippers.
Tao Tian called from the kitchen in a soft voice, “You’re back?”
“Why are you home so late today?”
“I was roped in by Tang Yurou as her driver after work,” Zhou Yuwen replied as he handed his coat to Qu Jing.
Qu Jing was a bit dissatisfied upon hearing this, “She dared to ask you to be her driver?”
Zhou Yuwen laughed and said no.
“It wasn’t far; I just gave her a lift since I was passing by. She had something to discuss with me.”
Tao Tian asked what it was about.
Zhou Yuwen said she wanted to recommend some people for the company.
Probably all returned from studying abroad.
“Once they’re at the company, have someone interview them.”
“Okay.”
Not long after Zhou Yuwen returned, Tao Tian finished cooking, and the three of them had dinner together. Zhou Yuwen also took the opportunity to present some luxury items he bought in New York to Tao Tian and Qu Jing.
There were about five or six items, with the two most expensive pieces priced around three hundred thousand each, quite beyond the understanding of two university students. Tao Tian was a bit better, but Qu Jing felt they were overly expensive.
Zhou Yuwen shrugged it off as small change.
“The company is just about to replace its car fleet. You can leave the old Mercedes at the company, and each of you can get a new one priced around five to six hundred thousand.”
Zhou Yuwen said calmly while eating.
Tao Tian and Qu Jing exchanged a glance.
Qu Jing hesitated and said, “I actually feel that my current car is pretty good. Maybe Tiantian should get a new one?”
Zhou Yuwen dismissed this idea, saying they should both get new cars.
“I’ve always said my love for you two is the same; if you do this, it might look like I’m playing favorites.”
Tao Tian smiled at this, “Right, it would seem like I’m bullying you.”
Qu Jing quickly denied, “I didn’t!”
To be honest, Zhou Yuwen had grown up too quickly. When these two girls got together with Zhou Yuwen, it was probably just a spur-of-the-moment romantic impulse.
Who hasn’t had a foolish time in their youth?
Some people, for example, dated two-timers in high school, mingled with wealthy older men for money in college.
Such things happen all the time, but years later, these girls would eventually become wives and mothers, and their past would be summed up as youthful folly.
Zhou Yuwen’s ménage à trois may look unusual, but it definitely happens in real life.
Of course, if Zhou Yuwen didn’t have the strength to back it up, these women would eventually part ways with him.
But, again, if Zhou Yuwen continued to be powerful, these women, even if they wanted to leave, would have to consider the consequences.
Before, when Zhou Yuwen only had assets worth a bit over a hundred million, these girls were still vying to be his official partner.
Now that Zhou Yuwen’s worth was three billion, no one cared about being his official partner anymore.
At this point, just being with Zhou Yuwen was already a victory.
After dinner, Qu Jing went to wash the dishes, and Tao Tian ran a hot bath and set up the bed.
Once Zhou Yuwen finished a hot shower and changed into something comfortable, he relaxed on the bed.
Not long after, both Tao Tian and Qu Jing finished their baths and, ever so understanding, lay down on either side of him.
