87: Chapter 87 Gao Xiaoqin Apologizes!
The scene shifts to Shen Wang.
After leaving Shen Wang's rental apartment, Xin Quan was incredibly enthusiastic and insisted on treating Shen Wang to a meal.
Shen Wang half-heartedly agreed.
Connections are also very important.
Besides, he might have many opportunities to collaborate with Xin Quan in the future.
Seeing Shen Wang nod, Xin Quan was overjoyed. To show his sincerity, he immediately suggested going to the top-tier Shanshui Manor in Jingzhou.
After all, it was one of the premier high-end hotels in Jingzhou; even Xin Quan, coming from another province, had heard of it.
When he had come to Jingzhou for business trips before, many business banquets were arranged there.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wang's expression was slightly peculiar, but he didn't say much, and the three of them hailed a taxi to head there.
In the car, Xin Quan looked at the "Big Brother" beside him—who could casually produce an Emperor's artifact, peerless jade, and rare border region tickets—yet didn't even own a car. A flicker of doubt crossed his mind.
But it was immediately suppressed by his own rationalization of "the demeanor of an expert" and "returning to simplicity."
How could he possibly fathom the actions of someone at that level?
Perhaps he just couldn't be bothered to drive?
Shen Wang didn't think that much of it; he was pondering to himself: It seems I need to buy a car.
Along the way, Xin Quan chatted about various interesting things, so the atmosphere wasn't awkward.
Before long, they arrived at Shanshui Manor.
Arriving at this familiar place again, Shen Wang couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.
Once upon a time, he was just a low-level employee here, having fantasized countless times about enjoying a grand meal here one day.
Because they hadn't made a reservation in advance, all the private rooms were fully booked.
Shen Wang waved his hand to indicate it didn't matter, and the three of them found a relatively quiet spot in the lobby to sit down.
Xin Quan grabbed the menu and, after asking about Shen Wang's dietary restrictions and preferences, ordered a table full of grand dishes.
Australian lobster, secret recipe abalone, imperial braised shark fin... it was the height of luxury!
Shen Wang couldn't help but click his tongue; this table of food, when calculated, cost more than his monthly salary used to be!
And that wasn't even counting the wine!
However, it is worth mentioning that Shen Wang previously worked in the Marketing Department of Shanshui Group, which was a completely different system from the manor's hotel catering, so he was neither familiar with nor knew these service staff.
However, the world is sometimes just that small.
Just as the atmosphere at their table was in full swing, at a table not far away, a middle-aged woman with a fat figure, dressed in an attempt to look like a "noble lady," was saying greasy and boastful things to a young, handsome "toy boy."
This woman was none other than Shen Wang's former boss, the Marketing Director, Fatty Wang.
Fatty Wang was talking animatedly when she suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice.
She looked in the direction of the sound, and her gaze instantly locked onto the chatting and laughing Shen Wang!
Old grudges and new hatreds surged into her heart at once!
Especially the words Shen Wang had used to insult her over the phone, calling her "menopause" and "hormonal imbalance," were like demonic sounds ringing in her ears, making her unable to eat or sleep well for the past few days!
Fatty Wang couldn't care about the toy boy beside her anymore; she stomped over to Shen Wang's table in her high heels, "clack, clack, clack."
"Oh! Who did I think it was? So it's you, Shen Wang. How the hell do you still have the face to come here to eat?"
"What? After being fired by Shanshui Group, you ran here to puff yourself up and act rich?"
"Why don't you take a piss and look at your own reflection! Is this a place for bottom-feeding trash like you? Can you even afford to eat here? Don't tell me you're here to steal something!"
The smile on Shen Wang's face instantly vanished, and his eyes turned cold.
"I was wondering which fly was buzzing around; so it's you, you fat woman."
"What, didn't get an advantage last time, so you're holding a grudge and came here to seek attention?"
"Do me a favor and look in the mirror at your own face; your wrinkles are thick enough to crush a fly, yet you're trying to keep a toy boy? Do you have any shame?"
"You... what the hell did you say?"
Fatty Wang was so angry that all her fat was trembling, and her face turned the color of pig's liver.
She hated it most when others called her a fat woman!
"Security! Where is security! Hurry up and kick this troublemaking little punk out for me!"
"I am the Marketing Director of the Group Headquarters! Our Shanshui Group does not welcome such trash!"
After Fatty Wang finished shouting, she felt full of momentum, waiting for security to come over and drag Shen Wang away like a dead dog.
However, the scene she anticipated of security quickly rushing over did not appear. Instead, the surroundings instantly fell into an eerie silence.
Fatty Wang sensed something was wrong. When she turned back, she saw the true helmsman of Shanshui Group, that beautiful president Gao Xiaoqin, who was the most stunning woman in Jingzhou and had sky-high influence, walking towards them.
Seeing her savior, Fatty Wang immediately put on a pitiful expression and wiggled her fat body to greet her:
"Xiaoqin! You came just in time! Look, someone is bullying your cousin me here!"
"Quick, call someone over and beat this kid up for me, let him know what's good!"
Fatty Wang knew what kind of figures stood behind this distant cousin of hers.
Beating someone up for fun, wasn't that a piece of cake?
However, Gao Xiaoqin looked coldly at this fat woman.
As the saying goes, wealth in the deep mountains brings distant relatives; this fat cousin was related by who knows how many twists and turns.
"Manager Wang, please mind your status and the occasion. During work hours, call me General Manager Gao."
Fatty Wang was stunned, her heart skipped a beat, realizing that the situation didn't seem to be what she had imagined.
She wasn't too stupid, so she quickly corrected herself: "Yes... yes, General Manager Gao..."
Gao Xiaoqin ignored her and turned to look at Shen Wang, who was sitting there, watching this farce with composure.
Her face instantly switched to just the right amount of apology and respect, and she bowed slightly, lowering her posture extremely low:
"Mr. Shen, I am very sorry! It is my poor management that allowed some ignorant person to disturb your appetite!"
"On behalf of Shanshui Group, I extend my most sincere apologies to you."
"If you are willing, you can return to work at Shanshui Group at any time; the entire Marketing Department can be handed over to you!"
Once these words were spoken, the scene changed instantly.
Fatty Wang was completely dumbfounded, her mind went blank.
'General Manager Gao... General Manager Gao is actually apologizing to this little punk? And her posture is so low?'
'What kind of international joke is this! What status does General Manager Gao have?'
'The Leader of Shanshui Group, a figure who calls the wind and summons the rain in the Jingzhou business world! Even city Leaders have to be three parts polite when they see her!'
'How could she... how could she treat this workhorse punk Shen Wang like that...'
Xin Quan, who was sitting beside them, was also startled at first.
When he heard Fatty Wang say that Shen Wang had worked here, he was a bit confused.
Does a figure like Big Brother need to work?
Even if he were experiencing life, it should be at a central enterprise headquarters or some special department, right?
Being a low-level employee in a private enterprise's marketing department? That's too incongruous!
But at this moment, seeing Gao Xiaoqin come out in person and apologize with such humility, he was instantly relieved.
Big Brother is just Big Brother!
Even the Leader of Shanshui Group has to bow her head and apologize!
What presence!
That's absolutely top-notch, my old buddy!
