Kang Huifen’s daughter is named Niu Lulu.
This year she is 24 years old, currently working in Jiangcheng. She has an associate degree, and in an era where the value of such education has depreciated, finding a job is very difficult. She has changed jobs three times since graduating from college.
Just one week ago, she started a new job at a bar named “Qing.”
The bar hasn’t officially opened yet, but it’s set to be the largest in Jiangcheng.
Niu Lulu’s position is front desk reception. Since the bar hasn’t opened for business yet, she is still in the training phase. However, as it aims to be the largest bar in Jiangcheng,
The bar has very strict rules and regulations, and the training involved is extensive and demanding.
After a day of training, Niu Lulu already felt her head spinning. Then, her mom called, asking her to attend her grandpa’s eightieth birthday banquet.
Niu Lulu immediately complained, “I’ve told you, I’ve just started at a new company, and I’m really busy. I definitely can’t make it back!”
“Besides, the trip alone will cost hundreds, and I still have to pay rent next month. Where am I supposed to find the money for this?!”
When people are young, they often make the mistake of saving their worst moods for the people closest to them.
Especially when dealing with their parents, they tend to express their bad moods easily.
Niu Lulu was doing just that, venting the frustrations accumulated from work onto her mom.
If it were any other time, Kang Huifen might not have said much, maybe just complained a little, but today she was unusually firm.
“Lulu, I’m not joking with you!”
“Mr. Yang will be there, the very same Manshu’s ex-husband!”
“Do you have any idea what his status is now? A billionaire with a fortune in the hundreds of billions!”
“You’re working in Jiangcheng. He could easily help you find a better job. Prioritize!”
Kang Huifen’s voice wasn’t loud, but her tone was very serious.
“Mr. Yang, my former brother-in-law?”
“He’s really going?”
Niu Lulu, who was initially very impatient, suddenly showed a look of astonishment on her face and perked up.
“Yes, him. Why else would I call you?”
“Let me tell you, Yanyan even made a special trip from Hucheng. Learn something from her and get your act together!”
Niu Lulu and Zhao Yanyan both had similar educational backgrounds and weren’t far apart in age, which often led to their being compared to one another.
Kang Huifen, worried that her daughter might be foolish, was using reverse psychology on her.
In reality, Kang Huifen was overthinking it this time. Her daughter was no longer the naive fresh graduate she used to be; she understood the importance of opportunities and connections.
So, even if Kang Huifen hadn’t mentioned Zhao Yanyan, Niu Lulu would still have seized this opportunity.
“I’ll get there as soon as I can.”
“I’ll go ask my supervisor for leave right now.”
With that, Niu Lulu hung up the phone.
“Family matters?”
Niu Lulu took the call in the restroom and was preparing to go back to ask for leave when suddenly a voice rang out behind her.
This unexpected voice startled Niu Lulu. She turned around and then saw a face that made her feel somewhat intimidated.
“Manager Ye…”
The person standing behind her was the marketing department manager of the bar, who was also one of the instructors for her training, teaching etiquette.
She had heard that this Manager Ye and the bar’s owner were best friends, effectively making her the second in command at the bar. The other training instructors treated her very courteously, which indirectly confirmed the rumors were true. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Furthermore, Manager Ye always seemed difficult to get along with, which added to Niu Lulu’s apprehension.
Especially now, having slipped out to take a call and being caught by her, she felt somewhat guilty.
“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your call.”
“But, I happened to overhear a little bit.”
“You know Mr. Yang??”
Ye Wei looked at Niu Lulu with a calm expression, but her heart was filled with shock.
She had indeed overheard Niu Lulu’s phone call by accident, and the result was that she heard news that was extremely surprising to her.
She hadn’t expected that this junior employee would be related to Yang Hao, and from the information in the phone call, it seemed that Yang Hao was going to attend someone’s birthday banquet.
“Manager Ye, I don’t know which Mr. Yang you are talking about?”
Niu Lulu steadied herself for a moment before posing her question in response.
There were many people with the surname Yang, and Niu Lulu wasn’t sure if the Mr. Yang that Manager Ye mentioned was her former brother-in-law Yang Hao.
“Which other Mr. Yang could it be?”
“Of course, it’s the one who’s been very popular recently!”
Ye Wei said with a chuckling smile.
“Ah, then we’re talking about the same person!”
“You know Mr. Yang too, Manager Ye?”
Niu Lulu looked at Ye Wei somewhat surprised.
“Of course, I know him.
“Do you know who the owner of this bar is?”
Ye Wei crossed her arms in front of her chest, wearing a black suit skirt with a white camisole underneath. With a slight squeeze of her arms, a third of the silicone was exposed to the air.
Even a woman like Niu Lulu swallowed her saliva subconsciously at the sight. Without giving it a squeeze, one would never know if it were real or fake, and Niu Lulu had thought that Manager Ye was naturally beautiful!
“Isn’t Qing the owner of the bar?”
The bar’s name was indeed “Qing,” and Niu Lulu had seen Boss Huang before. She was both beautiful and cool, and in terms of appearance and figure, she was no worse than the celebrities on TV.
“It’s not wrong to say Qing is the owner.”
“But our bar has a hidden major owner, and that’s Mr. Yang!”
Ye Wei didn’t play coy and revealed the answer directly.
“Ah?”
“Mr. Yang is actually the big boss of our bar!”
Niu Lulu was astonished, as their group of new employees only knew Huang Qing as the owner. They hadn’t expected there to be another major owner behind her.
“So, can you tell me what the call was about?”
Ye Wei pressed on.
“Oh, it’s like this…”
Niu Lulu didn’t hide anything and shared her relationship with Yang Hao and also mentioned the matter of the old man’s eightieth birthday banquet.
“An eightieth birthday celebration.”
“That’s definitely an event to attend.”
“Respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue in Hua Country, so consider my approval granted!”
As she spoke, Ye Wei walked over to Niu Lulu, then linked her arm through hers and said with a beaming smile, “Lulu, we’ve known each other for many days now, we’re good sisters, aren’t we?”
“Uh…”
Niu Lulu was baffled, thinking to herself: When did we become good sisters?
I can’t possibly climb that high!
While thinking this, Niu Lulu still managed to force a smile on her face. She was no longer a newbie to the workplace, and although she didn’t know why Manager Ye suddenly extended an olive branch,
She had to accept the show of goodwill from such a significant figure, as it would be rude not to. It was certainly not wise to reject the gesture!
So, somewhat awkwardly, she nodded: “Yes, I’ve regarded Manager Ye as a sister for a long time!”
