163: Chapter 163 Loyalty Card!
Since Xue Shuangshuang and the other person had created such suitable conditions for him, how could he possibly pass up the delicious feast right before his eyes?
Meanwhile, the system's notification sound rang out.
[Ding!]
[High-quality women do not exist solely as vases; they each have a field in which they excel most.]
[Temporary Mission: Host, win over Maria by entering her inner world, and hire her.]
[Mission Reward: One loyalty card.]
[loyalty card: Can be used on a male or female; the target will be unconditionally loyal to the host.]
Hearing this, a smile tugged at the corners of Shen Zhou's mouth.
Since the system had already stepped in, Maria would never be able to escape his grasp in this lifetime.
"Since Mr. Shen has put it that way, I must, of course, serve you to the end."
Maria smiled with feigned helplessness, but she was secretly delighted inside.
As a woman with exceptional looks and temperament, the people she served were generally true tycoons.
Among them, there was no shortage of top-tier billionaires who had made requests for her to serve them in bed.
Whether hinted at or stated explicitly, she had rejected all these requests.
Maria knew well that her advantages were her appearance, her position, her status, and her unblemished body.
She had seen too many top-tier billionaires, so she had long since stopped paying any mind to ordinary men.
But even if her fate was to offer herself to a tycoon, she had to choose the best target.
And Shen Zhou was the best target she had encountered in these past few years.
Although he was from Asia, his looks and physique were excellent, and most importantly, the wealth and status he possessed were equally worthy of speculation.
She had never craved becoming Shen Zhou's wife, but obtaining the status of a pillow partner shouldn't be too much to ask.
But the premise for all of this was that she had to determine that Shen Zhou wasn't just looking to play around with her.
"Old Shen, we won't disturb you two any further. I wish you a pleasant evening."
Wang Sicong stood up and said with a wink.
The others also chuckled on the side.
After Wang Sicong and the others left, Vicente immediately ordered the servants to bring out the Western meal and red wine.
Vicente even joined the maids in adding some red decorations to the surface of the originally luxurious living room.
Even the expensive chandelier at the very top of the living room began to change into beautiful, enchanting colors.
The atmosphere in the entire hall immediately became a bit more ambiguous, and the light grew dimmer.
The scene had already transformed into the look of a candlelight dinner.
Shen Zhou nodded with satisfaction, mentally giving Vicente another point of credit.
Everything placed on the dining table was Western cuisine.
The first thing that caught the eye was the Beef Wellington.
Each piece of steak was cooked to medium-rare and cut into bite-sized pieces about the size of half a palm.
Moreover, the surface of each piece was coated with a layer of black truffle sauce, and the outermost layer was a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Picking up his knife and fork to casually cut a piece, even Shen Zhou felt that the steak before him was exceptionally delicious.
Maria also held a knife and fork, but her movements looked so elegant, she was practically like a noblewoman dining.
"Ms. Maria, I've heard that every employee absolutely hates their current job and boss. So, how is your situation?"
Shen Zhou asked with interest.
"I actually think my job is quite good. My boss is also a woman, and she treats me very well."
Maria said reflexively.
It was clear that she was indeed very satisfied with her current job.
Moreover, she had inadvertently revealed that her boss was female, which also indicated that no unspoken workplace rules had occurred to her.
Hearing this, Shen Zhou couldn't help but smile and say:
"Few employees like their own jobs; truly worthy of Ms. Maria."
"By the way, Ms. Maria, what was your major in university?"
Shen Zhou began to inquire further.
Although taking Maria under his wing was already an easy task, before that, he still hoped to understand everything about this woman more.
"Mr. Shen, I attended university in the USA, graduated from Shipton Business School, later majored in a Master's in Finance, and have been working at Swiss Bank ever since graduation."
Hearing Shen Zhou's inquiry, Maria put down the knife and fork in her hand, and even unconsciously licked her alluring red lips while speaking.
For Maria, talking to others while eating was very impolite.
She had no right to demand anything of Shen Zhou, but she could make herself do things to perfection.
"A Master's in Finance?"
"Then it seems Ms. Maria's academic career must have been smooth sailing."
Shen Zhou nodded with satisfaction.
A Master's in Finance at such a young age, and with such high looks, it was conceivable that Maria had always had a smooth life.
"Ms. Maria, then I'll speak directly. You also know that I will be acquiring some properties in Switzerland, but I don't have a suitable manager by my side."
"I am in urgent need of a business elite like Ms. Maria who can smooth everything out for me."
Speaking of this, Shen Zhou stared straight at the Maria in front of him.
And Maria's face was full of shock.
She had thought Shen Zhou wanted her to be his woman; who would have thought he was actually poaching talent…
"I am doing quite well at Swiss Bank..."
Before Maria could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Shen Zhou on the side.
"Ms. Maria, perhaps I didn't express myself clearly enough. If you are willing to follow me, I can pay you five times your current salary."
"And your specific position can be called a financial advisor. I believe that in the same position, no one can offer a higher compensation."
"Moreover, I am always generous to the people around me. Various gifts and benefits during holidays are indispensable."
Shen Zhou said with a chuckle.
"The people around him?"
"Is he hinting at me with this?"
Maria bit her lip again. She fully felt Shen Zhou's intent, as if his intentions lay elsewhere.
But she was still a bit hesitant.
Just as she said before, her current job was very perfect; both her boss and colleagues were full of harmony and friendliness.
Of course, she also knew that this was just a way of harmonious coexistence in the workplace on the surface.
There was still enough competition between each other.
But the salary Shen Zhou offered was indeed very tempting.
Most importantly, Shen Zhou's looks and physique were the template of the perfect boyfriend she had always fantasized about.
Maria was completely trapped in a difficult choice.
"Ms. Maria, besides the salary and compensation, if you need any help in your life, you can also ask me at any time."
