79: Chapter 79 Do you want to work for my company?

Joyful Sea World, 6th Floor.

Zhao Jian didn't arrive late; he was actually earlier than the appointed time.

However, someone was already waiting inside the private room.

The door was open, but out of politeness, he intended to knock.

But the waiter leading the way had already walked in to announce him.

A young woman wearing glasses inside the room looked toward the door and then beckoned him over.

“Come in quickly.”

She wasn't overly enthusiastic, yet she lacked the distance typical between strangers.

It was like meeting an acquaintance not seen for many years.

She naturally possessed a certain approachability.

Zhao Jian held Su Wanyin's hand and sat down opposite the bespectacled girl.

There were two dining tables in the sixth-floor private room.

One was very large, capable of seating over a dozen people,

But they sat at the small one, which only seated four.

“Here is the photo you wanted.” Zhao Jian got straight to the point and handed the photo over.

He just wanted to get the money quickly, finish the meal, and leave.

He could even take advantage of today to sign up at the driving school and practice driving.

After all, getting a driver's license nowadays had mandatory class hour requirements; signing up a day earlier meant getting the license a day sooner.

Gu Wenjun's eyes lit up when she saw the photo.

She took it carefully, her hands trembling slightly as she took out several photos from her wallet to compare them.

She said in pleasant surprise, “It’s this one, it’s really this one! My grandfather has been looking for it for so long. The family is finally reunited!”

As she spoke, two lines of tears streamed down her face.

Zhao Jian didn't say anything; it would be impolite to interrupt while the other party was venting her emotions.

He simply focused on eating the dishes that had just been served.

Su Wanyin looked at the woman immersed in nostalgia, then at Zhao Jian who only cared about eating.

Sighing, she sat down beside Gu Wenjun and offered gentle comfort.

After a moment, Gu Wenjun's emotions calmed down.

“Your girlfriend is quite nice.”

She thanked Su Wanyin, then transferred the money according to the bank card number Zhao Jian provided.

Soon, a text notification sounded for the arrival of one million yuan.

Having received the money, Zhao Jian was also nearly full.

“Then we won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye, President Gu.”

He didn't feel much excitement in his heart over the amount of money.

After all, he was a multimillionaire now.

Instead, he was eager to start learning to drive.

Gu Wenjun didn't try to keep him, but she said to Su Wanyin, “I don't know your name yet, but do you mind staying a bit longer? I think you fit my requirements for an assistant perfectly. Shall we chat?”

Su Wanyin didn't answer and turned to look at Zhao Jian.

“Go ahead and chat. Even if you find it unsuitable, you can at least learn about it,” Zhao Jian gave her an encouraging look.

Her current company didn't think about solving problems when troublemakers showed up; they only thought about getting rid of the employees.

It wasn't a place to stay long-term.

Having gained Zhao Jian's support, Su Wanyin stayed behind to continue dining with Gu Wenjun.

Zhao Jian took a taxi to the driving school closest to Lily Bay.

Once he arrived, he was slightly disappointed.

What happened to the promise that learning to drive would be full of pretty young ladies, and that female students were beautiful and gentle?

They were all middle-aged women and aunties.

And young men just like him.

He signed up and paid the fees.

The instructor said everything was included.

Except for a guaranteed pass on the exams.

Zhao Jian didn't care. Isn't getting a driver's license something anyone with hands can do?

He logged into the mini-program provided by the driving school and went through the practice questions.

He passed in one go.

Subject One was practically designed for an honest person like him. One could pass just by relying on common sense.

Since it was his first day of registration, he didn't stay long at the driving school. He just drove a few laps in a car and called it a day for practice.

After returning home, he wanted to send Zhang Tao a message to check in on her.

He fell asleep before he could even finish typing.

When he woke up at 11:50 PM, several messages had accumulated on his phone.

At 6:30 PM, Zhang Tao had asked if he had eaten and if he was tired.

And at 9:00 PM, Su Wanyin said she felt the conditions Gu Wenjun offered were very suitable for her.

Mainly, the salary had doubled. Moreover, she was promised that if her father dared to cause trouble, the company would step in to handle it.

She wouldn't need to worry.

She was asking for Zhao Jian's opinion.

Zhao Jian replied to Zhang Tao first.

Then he congratulated Su Wanyin on finding a new job.

To his surprise, Su Wanyin replied instantly:

“I'm so nervous about going to work for a big company.”

Wasn't she originally at a large company too?

It was just that the headquarters had sent her to Xiong City.

He typed a few question marks, then deleted them.

He changed it to: “Congratulations, congratulations. Don't worry, you're great.”

“How am I great? Why don't you give me yours?”

Zhao Jian looked at the message Su Wanyin sent.

He didn't understand it.

Time to sleep.

He heard the phone's message notification, but he didn't look at it again.

When he woke up, it was just noon.

His irregular schedule lately had caused his sleep quality to decline.

He could only make up for it with time.

He had an appointment to learn driving today.

He was going to try and get his license in one month!

Get up, let's go!

【Today's Intel (Red): During the Northern Song Dynasty, as the Liao Kingdom was about to fall, a steward from the Prince of Liao's residence fled south with a large amount of jewelry amidst the chaos. While passing by White Lake, he was robbed by water bandits.

In the panic, the stolen Golden Seal of the Prince's Mansion fell into the water.

This Golden Seal was recently accidentally swallowed by a hundred-pound Black carp. Because it cannot be digested or regurgitated, the Golden Seal is currently torturing this Black carp.

Please go to coordinates xxx to perform a rescue on the Black carp.

The Black carp is valued at approximately 6,000 yuan; the Golden Seal is valued at 1.6 million yuan.】

That little Black carp is quite the gourmet.

Zhao Jian sent a message to the instructor saying he would be late.

The instructor didn't reply.

It wasn't uncommon for students to sign up with such enthusiasm and then not touch a car for three months.

So, he was very understanding that Zhao Jian started slacking off after only one night.

Young people, after all, have three-minute passions.

As long as they don't ask for a refund, everything is fine.

Zhao Jian took a taxi to the vicinity of White Lake.

He found the pier.

No one was there.

In the summer, there were many people, but now it was early winter.

There were no tourists, and the boatmen had all sought other livelihoods.

Fortunately, there was a board with several small advertisements posted on it.

There were phone numbers for boatmen.

Although weathered by sun and rain, and the advertisements were information from several months ago,

There shouldn't be too much of a change.

The phone rang for a long time before connecting. Upon learning that Zhao Jian wanted to use a boat, the other party immediately said he was unavailable.

He still had to work.

However, when Zhao Jian said he would rent the boat without the driver and pay a deposit,

The boatman's attitude changed immediately.

He told Zhao Jian to wait a moment and that he would call his daughter-in-law over to handle the arrangements.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, a Young Married Woman riding an electric scooter arrived.

“Are you the one who wants to use the boat?”

Her voice was crisp but not loud.

She appeared somewhat timid and subservient.

Zhao Jian nodded.

Then he said, “I'll rent it for a day. No one needs to follow. I'll pay a deposit and get it back when I return.”

The Young Married Woman pulled out the key to her electric scooter.

She walked toward the river.

As she walked, she said, “Follow me. I'll come along. It's 200 yuan for the day, no deposit needed.”

Two hundred wasn't expensive.

In peak tourist season, that would be the price for just two hours.

He didn't say much. After boarding the boat, he scanned the code to pay her.

This was a natural gas-powered boat.

It had six seats.

There wasn't much room for cargo.

It wasn't as practical as a fishing boat.

It was just that the only ones he could contact right now were these sightseeing boats.

Fortunately, the boat was large enough; the gap between the two rows of seats should be enough to place the Black carp.

He found a seat and sat down, waiting for the Young Married Woman to start the boat.

She inserted the boat's key.

Then she turned around and also found a seat.

She sat in a comfortable position and took out her phone to scroll through videos.

Zhao Jian secretly guessed that perhaps starting the boat was a process that required patient waiting?
