CHAPTER 292: CHAPTER 262: THE FIRST DIPLOMATIC INTERPRETER (PART 2)

"...Zhou Mengqin."

Su Xiaomeng sat in the taxi, heading back to the hotel.

Mrs. Yin... turns out she is quite a formidable person.

Mrs. Yin was actually... the chief diplomatic translator...

For some reason, just knowing this made her blood boil with excitement.

Her little heart was beating fiercely, and she couldn’t quite pinpoint this emotion.

In short... she was very excited!

Alongside the excitement, there was genuine admiration from the bottom of her heart...

She arrived at the hotel at exactly nine o’clock. As she got out of the taxi, she saw Shan Minglang, Yin Meng, Bai Shunyuan, and seven or eight young people coming out of the hotel.

As soon as Shan Minglang saw Su Xiaomeng, he quickly went up, grabbed her without a word, "Aunt Xiaomeng! Come play with us! There’s a dance party on the island at ten, many locals are dancing there."

"Uh... I’m a bit tired, you guys go ahead."

"Xiao Meng, come with us, we’re all going back home tomorrow. It’s rare for everyone to get together."

Yin Meng also encouraged her.

"I... shall we invite your uncle too?"

"Definitely not!"

Shan Minglang was the first to jump in opposition.

Su Xiaomeng was taken aback...

"We’re young people hanging out, why bring uncle? He’s in his thirties, there’s a generational gap when it comes to fun."

Shan Minglang whispered to Su Xiaomeng.

Su Xiaomeng blinked and couldn’t help but laugh, "Minglang, you’ve really grown bold now! You dare say this?"

"Uncle isn’t around, unless aunt you want to tell on me?"

Su Xiaomeng glanced at him, "That depends on your behavior."

"Aunt Xiaomeng, come play with us!"

Su Xiaomeng couldn’t resist Shan Minglang and Yin Meng’s coaxing from both sides, and she personally wanted to see the local singing and dancing.

So she called Yin Shixiu to report, and then went with them to have fun.

Meanwhile, Yin Shixiu wasn’t in the room but in the hotel’s café.

He sat by the window when Guo Tong walked over, her pretty eyes flashed with surprise for an instant, then she graciously greeted him, "Mr. Yin, hello."

She then pulled out the chair, sitting only a third, with her back very straight.

"Hello. Would you like something to drink?"

Yin Shixiu moved the menu in front of her.

Guo Tong didn’t even glance at it, she directly ordered a lemon water from the waiter.

Then explained to Yin Shixiu, "It’s late now, drinking coffee will keep me awake. Mr. Yin, it’s best you drink less too."

"No problem, I sleep late."

"Oh, hehe, you’re right, Mr. Yin is busy with work. Even during the wedding period, it seems you’re not neglecting work."

Yin Shixiu took a sip of coffee, smiling but not speaking.

There was naturally no need to tell the woman who made a point of wearing Chanel’s latest seasonal perfume that he sleeps late to indulge in bedroom pleasures.

This perfume smells sweet, suitable for Xiao Meng, and she has been using it these past few days.

The top, middle, and base notes of the fragrance still have differences, especially since Guo Tong sprayed quite a lot, the scent is more pronounced.

Upon smelling, it’s clear it’s just the top note, lasting at most half an hour more.

"Xiao Meng calls you cousin, I think... I’m much older than you, so I won’t call you cousin, just Miss Guo, okay?"

"Mr. Yin, there’s no need to be so formal, just call me Guo Tong."

She’s a smart and composed woman.

"Alright, Guo Tong, you want to develop in Beijing, right?"

"...Yes."

"Why? Wasn’t your previous job at the bank quite good?"

"Mr. Yin, as a big boss, you surely understand the young ones like me, wishing to seek better career development, right?"

Yin Shixiu nodded, "Hmm, yes."

Guo Tong smiled, "I know Mr. Yin might think I have ulterior motives, after all... this request is too abrupt, perhaps it puts Xiao Meng in a difficult position?"

Yin Shixiu raised his eyebrow, "Not too much, it’s okay, since you’re family, helping wherever possible should be done."

"Actually..."

Guo Tong paused, took a deep breath, and frankly said, "I indeed have ulterior motives."

"Oh?"

"I’m tired of working at the bank, it feels boring and lacks motivation. I’ve thought of switching jobs, but honestly, my family is so ordinary, without good connections and networks, finding a good job is very difficult."

Yin Shixiu nodded slightly, "Hmm, that’s true."

"This time attending your and Xiao Meng’s wedding, knowing you are the president of the Yin Group, I have only one thought..."

Yin Shixiu looked up, meeting Guo Tong’s gaze.

"My opportunity has arrived."

Yin Shixiu raised his eyes and couldn’t help but take another look at Guo Tong in front of him.

Obviously...

The words spoken by the woman in front of him were somewhat unexpected.

Unexpected honesty, unexpected... decisiveness.

Yin Shixiu’s fingers lightly tapped the rim of the coffee cup, Guo Tong was three years older than Su Xiaomeng.

To this day, he still remembers when he first officially met Su Xiaomeng, also in a café like this, sitting by the window.

The little girl was so nervous and tense when she saw him, the memory is still vivid.

She tried hard to present herself as confident and bold, yet didn’t realize that in doing so, she appeared sincerely adorable.

In stark contrast to her... Guo Tong approached him with what seemed like innate confidence and pride.

"Opportunity..."

Yin Shixiu chewed on these two words and then said meaningfully, "Opportunities favor those who are prepared, Guo Tong, I must ask you, what have you prepared for working at Yin Group?"

Guo Tong’s straight back stiffened for a moment, even her confident smile froze on her face.

Yin Shixiu didn’t wait silently for her response.

He wouldn’t let her feel embarrassed, so he quickly continued, "You used to work in a bank, so you should be quite familiar with investment and finance..."

"Yes, I interned at the bank before I graduated, and after becoming a full-time employee, my main role was recommending financial products to clients and helping clients—"

Before she could finish, Yin Shixiu raised his hand to signal her to stop.

"How were your results?"

Speaking of this, the corners of Guo Tong’s mouth once again lifted into a confident arc.

"Until last month’s bank review, my results consistently ranked first."

Yin Shixiu nodded understandingly, "If you were ranked first in performance, then your salary and bonuses must not be insignificant, right?"

"Mr. Yin, may I ask, is this question important?"

"It’s not important to me, but it should be quite important to you."

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Yin?"

"There is no problem with you working at Yin Group."

Guo Tong was stunned for a moment, her heart filled with ecstatic joy.

"But I can’t guarantee that you’ll have great development opportunities at Yin Group."

Yin Shixiu shrugged, speaking truthfully, "The income of employees at Yin Group is layered very distinctly, with high-paying employees concentrated in technical and management departments. As for other employees, those placed on par with staff of other businesses, their pay is similar."

Guo Tong faintly sensed that getting a job at Yin Group wasn’t as easy as she imagined.

"If you have a significant contribution capability in network technology or in promoting the company’s growth, then I can assure you, staying at Yin Group, your future is boundless."

"But if you’re simply looking to join Yin Group for a reception desk job, in finance, sales... if any job suffices, I certainly won’t refuse. As you are Xiao Meng’s cousin, just for Xiao Meng’s sake, we will definitely make arrangements."

Under the table, Guo Tong’s hand, resting on her leg, clenched into a fist.

What did Yin Shixiu mean by this?

She could enter Yin Group, but he would casually assign her a position just to get rid of her...

"Mr. Yin, I have a strong ability to learn."

"How strong?"

Yin Shixiu asked, with a smile in his eyes.

This smile... made Guo Tong grit her teeth inwardly.

"Miss Guo, there’s no need to rush. As I said, it’s easy for you to join Yin Group. Let’s say Miss Guo is an outstanding employee who achieved such great results at the bank only a year after graduation, even if Miss Guo had no work experience at all..."

"As long as you ask, I’ll make arrangements."

"I’m just worried, if Miss Guo comes to work at Yin Group, you might not gain as much as you did before. Coming to Beijing by yourself, if I and Xiao Meng fail to take good care of you, making your life uncomfortable. At that time, it would indeed be hard to justify to Grandma Su."

Guo Tong’s lips were pressed so tightly, they lost all color.

She looked at the man before her, with hawk-like eyes, sharp and shrewd.

At this moment, Guo Tong finally realized she made a huge mistake.

She placed too much importance on Su Xiaomeng in Yin Shixiu’s heart and underestimated Yin Shixiu.

She thought the Su Family, because of Su Xiaomeng, would hold some position in Yin Shixiu’s heart.

In fact, it wasn’t like that. Even though this marriage with a significant disparity in status had been established, it didn’t mean that the parties in the marriage were equal.

"Miss Guo, do you think my consideration is correct?"

Of course, it was right. His words were logical, gentle, hiding needles within soft, not letting you down, and not making you comfortable either.

This was the president of the Yin Group, a man who dealt with countless types of people daily and had very high prestige and authority.

Guo Tong tugged at her mouth, "I’m sorry, Mr. Yin, I was too conceited, thinking I could rely on this distant relationship with Xiao Meng, not being able to refute a single word you said, Mr. Yin."

She said, then stood up, "But Mr. Yin, you don’t particularly favor Su Xiaomeng’s maternal family, yet you want to give them enough face on the surface, I understand that, but your time is precious, and my time is equally precious. Spending so much effort and talking in circles, it’s just four words, you disagree."

"Although I, Guo Tong, come from an ordinary background, I’m not a shameless, pestering woman. You say the word disagree, and I’ll leave immediately, without a single complaint."

Yin Shixiu chuckled lightly, leaning back, with his small arm resting on the bamboo chair, slightly raising his head to meet Guo Tong’s gaze, a face full of pride.

Guo Tong clenched her fist...

Men usually develop a desire to conquer the women they’re interested in, and for women?

They similarly have a desire to conquer outstanding men.

They hope these exceptional men, known as male gods, will ultimately fall under their charms.
