38: Chapter 38 Forgot about his own business!
As it turned out, the director's nephew failed the very first written exam for the civil service, leaving him with no choice but to seek help from Mu Shanshan's direct supervisor.
With this background, the director naturally had to come up with a way to help his nephew.
Mu Shanshan might look pure, lovely, virtuous, and demure.
But this is the workplace after all, and the other side is his own nephew. Even if the director had other thoughts, he had to prioritize his own family first.
Consequently, Mu Shanshan, who had absolutely no background and mediocre performance, became the target of the director's scrutiny.
"Corporate business! I actually seem to have a client who needs a loan!"
"I'm just not sure if her situation meets your bank's requirements."
When it came to corporate business, Shen Zhou suddenly remembered the beautiful boss he had been spending his days with recently.
His boss was truly a high-quality client.
Not only had her company grown to over a hundred employees, but her capabilities were also plain for all to see.
If it hadn't been for that recent scheme by Wan Yiquan that caused her to take a big fall.
Lin Lan's company would definitely be a prize that the credit departments of every bank branch would fight over.
To be honest, Shen Zhou had actually wanted to help his beautiful boss directly before.
However, because Lin Lan had never realized that Shen Zhou was a wealthy man, she had always just regarded him as her subordinate and a man she knew well.
So, Shen Zhou didn't take the initiative to help Lin Lan arrange these matters.
Sometimes, eagerly forcing help on others isn't necessarily a good thing.
Have you not heard the story of how a small favor can create gratitude, while a large one can create resentment?
Therefore, such things depend on timing! Obviously, the timing now is just right!
"You have a client like that? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Mu Shanshan said with a look of pleasant surprise.
"You didn't ask! How could I say anything if you didn't ask?"
"Uh..."
"How about this, when I have time later, I'll help you set up an appointment."
"My boss's company is called Wanhe Linmei Culture Media Co., Ltd. You can look it up online first."
...
This blind date could be considered a failure, but as they parted ways, a question Mu Shanshan asked while looking back left Shen Zhou feeling a little smug.
When Mu Shanshan was parting with Shen Zhou, at the very last moment, she suddenly looked back and asked him a question:
"Shen Zhou, if—I'm just saying if—if my crush is really you!"
"Would our blind date today be considered a success?"
Shen Zhou clearly hadn't anticipated such words.
From their two meetings, Shen Zhou had basically determined that Mu Shanshan was a rather reserved and introverted girl of the genteel type.
Unexpectedly, she had actually taken the initiative today.
Facing such initiative, Shen Zhou was certainly not willing to give up. After all, in this day and age, there are no business licenses being issued for the job of a Liu Xiahui.
However, Shen Zhou was not a complete rake, and he didn't want to deliberately play with anyone's feelings.
Therefore, when he heard Mu Shanshan muster the courage to test the waters with him.
Shen Zhou's reaction reflected both his desire and his restraint!
"Whether it's a success or not is another matter!"
"I, Shen Zhou, am not the kind of good man you imagine. Maybe I'm more like Wei Xiaobao from The Deer and the Cauldron! Aren't you worried?"
After saying this, Shen Zhou left dashingly, without looking back at Mu Shanshan's reaction.
He simply let the autumn breeze blow through the bustling streets, leaving the future to make the decision for him!
Today was Saturday, and the company was closed, so Shen Zhou didn't go to Lin Lan's place.
He hadn't been home much for several days, so the place was a bit messy.
After tidying up a little, Shen Zhou rested.
With this rest, the exhaustion of many days caused him to fall into a deep sleep.
He slept through the entire night. When Shen Zhou got out of bed on the weekend, he realized it was already two in the afternoon.
Just after washing up, before he could get some food to replenish his energy.
Shen Zhou saw a broadcast message in the company group chat.
His beautiful boss, Lin Lan, had actually sent a message around 11 a.m. requiring all employees of the project team to work overtime.
There were also several missed calls on his phone.
He had set his phone to silent when he went to sleep yesterday, fearing he would be disturbed.
Unexpectedly, he had missed the company's overtime notification sent out today.
At three in the afternoon, Shen Zhou arrived at the company in his new BMW.
However, before he could park the car properly, Shen Zhou received another call from an unknown number.
The voice on the other end was actually a rather pleasant woman's voice.
"Is this Shen Zhou? Are you free recently? I am Lin Zhaolu, the second-largest shareholder of the Haoqing Grand Hotel."
"Ever since you bought shares in the hotel last time, you haven't shown your face. I have some matters I'd like to discuss with you."
Shen Zhou hadn't expected to receive a call from Lin Zhaolu.
Because he had been busy with company matters for the past few days, and had gone to pick up a car and go on a blind date.
So he hadn't remembered that he still had this business that he hadn't found the time to check on.
Now, Lin Zhaolu, being the second-largest shareholder, had called him.
This served as a reminder to Shen Zhou that he was already a man of property.
"Oh my, look at my brain. If you hadn't called me, I would have almost forgotten that I owned a hotel."
"Let's set a time to meet next week. You pick the time and place! Just let me know when."
