It was Gao Yongfu's duty to work alongside Chu Yifeng. Unfortunately, Assistant Gao, who was a father, was the same as Wang Cheng. He had accompanied his son to leave Shanhai City to report to university the day before school started. He requested four or five days off, so he wouldn’t be back tomorrow.
Li Yu heard that the boss wanted to borrow her assistant, pushed her glasses up the bridge of the nose, and agreed without saying anything. Most of the time, the boss would not remember that he needed an assistant.
"It's great to be able to work with the boss,” said Cheng Cheng. He came to Wang Cheng immediately after hearing about this. Being recognized by the boss was definitely not a one-time thing.
Wang Cheng couldn't appreciate his excitement. He also ate with his boss every day. What was so good about it?
After Cheng Cheng left, Zhu Chunlin and another colleague walked towards Wang Cheng. Colleagues who did not usually say a few words suddenly became enthusiastic. One asked if he was tired, and the other asked if he wanted to drink water. You could see that their behavior had changed when they found out he was chosen.
Wang Cheng couldn't resist them. When the boss called him, he immediately ran away with an excuse.
After arriving at the place where they would hold their business, Wang Cheng found that it was actually a hotel, and the name of the hotel was particularly familiar. It was called Jinding Hotel just like the hotel that Wang Cheng stayed in. The only difference was the style of architecture and decoration.
Jinding Hotel was originally an international luxury hotel chain. Twenty years ago, the hotel's chief policy-maker decided to use its home country as its main development goal. Until now, many large cities have seen it, mainly for local government and business. Famous celebrities from both circles and the entertainment industry usually attended this hotel, but Wang Cheng rarely came to this area, so he didn’t know that Shanhai City also had this hotel.
The style of the Jinding Hotel was inspired by the Baroque era, which originated in Italy. This style not only pursued gorgeousness and wealth, but also complicated and exaggerated decoration, and a magnificent artistic realm. It targeted those who enjoyed playing royalty and nobility, such a luxurious style.
Wang Cheng didn't know what the boss was discussing. He just followed him to meet a few foreigners. He heard them speak a bunch of incomprehensible words and acted as a deaf man. Occasionally he was a little errand assistant. He barely had a role to play and thought that the boss probably regretted bringing him. In fact, Li Yu or Zhang Yiheng were more suitable than him.
A bit later, Chu Yifeng asked him to wait for him below.
Wang Cheng didn't want to listen to any words that he did not understand, so he did not hesitate to leave. What he didn't know was that as soon as he left, the foreigner who was speaking in an unknown language with Chu Yifeng immediately switched to Chinese, and it was particularly fluent.
The interior of the five-star hotel was gorgeous and dazzling. It was also complex. Wang Cheng couldn’t find the elevator after taking a turn. He couldn't tell which hallway led where, so he lost his way. Just when he was thinking about whether to call Chu Yifeng and tell him of his shameful situation, there was a sound behind him.
"Hello, sir, may I help you?"
Wang Cheng turned around and found a waitress wearing a formal red staff uniform with a professional smile on her face. Before Wang Cheng spoke, the waitress showed a surprised expression after seeing his face clearly.
"Wang Cheng?"
"Do you know me?" Wang Cheng looked at her carefully, and suddenly there was a feeling of getting closer and closer to recognizing her, until a figure flashed deep in his mind, "You can’t be Wei Dandan?"
"I am Wei Dandan, I thought you couldn't recognize me." Wei Dandan was surprised.
Normally, Wang Cheng could easily name someone, but the interval was really too long, and she was a bit unrecognizable. Wei Dandan was his classmate in high school, and he had an impression of her because she was a friend of the girl who confessed to him.
In the beginning, the school flower was rejected after her confession. She was angry and embarrassed, so all of Wang Cheng’s male peers in his class and other classes who had liked her crowded him out. In addition, some female classmates who had a good relationship with her did not give him face. Only Wei Dandan didn't act like them. She involved him in activities, unlike the female classmates who isolated him in order to please the school flower, and occasionally talked to him.
"I haven't seen you in six or seven years. You have become more and more handsome. Are you doing okay these days?" Wei Dandan's personality became more cheerful, and she let go of her stiff attitude when she found that he was an old classmate.
Wang Cheng put his hands in his pants pockets. "I’m okay, how about you? I didn't expect you to be a waiter at a five-star hotel. It should be difficult to enter here."
There were many types of hotel waiters. For five-star large hotels like Jinding, the staff selection was very strict, and the quality of the employees was very high, so the average salary was also high, but others did not care.
Wei Dandan had already met her old classmates. She had attended class reunions before. Some of her classmates were reluctant to communicate with her when they heard that she was just a hotel waiter. She was very happy to have met Wang Cheng who had such clear thoughts.
"It's very difficult! Right, is it convenient for me to give you my phone number?" Wei Dandan was a little careful and uncertain in her words. After all, they hadn’t seen each other for so many years, and their relationship had gotten rusty. Who knew what to say when making friends?
Although Wang Cheng was surprised, the other party was a woman after all, and he had a good impression of her, so he generously gave it.
Wei Dandan did not bring her phone, because it was not allowed to bring a mobile phone during working hours. She asked Wang Cheng to call her mobile phone number, anyway, and she would call back after work at night. After that, she showed Wang Cheng the way, and a few minutes later, Wang Cheng arrived at the lobby smoothly.
Half an hour later, Chu Yifeng came down to find him, and the two left Jinding Hotel together.
They went back to the company to deal with some follow-up matters. After work, Wang Cheng proposed to go to the supermarket. Yesterday, the big meal used up all the meat stored at home. If they didn’t buy more, there would be no meat to eat at night. Chicken, beef, mutton, pork, and other various meats were bought. At checkout, the cashier at the counter looked at them as if they were pigs. However, they didn't look fat and the cashier couldn't see how they could eat so much.
After arriving home, Wang Cheng stuffed the meat into Chu Yifeng's refrigerator and then drilled into the kitchen for dinner.
Chu Yifeng sat in the living room and read the financial newspaper. After reading half of it, he went into the kitchen to help Wang Cheng to serve the meals. The two talked about driving school while eating. Wang Cheng had a thought earlier and took this opportunity to talk about it with Chu Yifeng.
"Boss, I heard it's a bit difficult to get a driver's license."
"Who said?"
"Other students said that there are hidden rules. Some examiners will embarrass candidates and deliberately pick on candidates. Others say they have to pay to pass."
"And so?"
"Is there a way to do it once?"
"Yes, bribe."
Wang Cheng drew up a corner of his mouth and said, "I mean without bribes, and without being embarrassed by the examiner."
Chu Yifeng finished his last piece of meat and took a few more sips of soup. He brought out a paper towel, wiped his mouth, and looked at him, saying, "When did you become so timid? Before you take the exam, think about paying first. If you are skilled, The examiner can't pick on you. "
"Paying’s not necessary." Wang Cheng muttered.
Chu Yifeng ignored him and grabbed the bowls and chopsticks to wash the dishes. This was to Wang Cheng's credit. At first, he never washed the dishes, but one day, he started washing them. Now, he kept this habit.
It was almost eight o'clock when Wang Cheng returned to his apartment. He was going to take a bath when the phone rang. Sure enough, Wei Dandan called. Today, she didn’t have to work late at night, so she got off work at six, and wanted to call him. However, she was afraid that he was just off work and endured it until now. After speaking a few words, Wei Dandan conscientiously hung up the phone; even if he was a classmate who had not seen each other for six years, he was rusty.
At half-past eight, Wang Cheng took the car keys and went down to practice driving. He had already practiced a full round on the training grounds before. The coach also gave him tips for the exam. Although it was not convenient on the training grounds, the coach's method was stubborn. It was better to master the real tricks yourself, then it must be easier during the exam. After returning from training, he took his awaited bath and then called Wang Ziyu.
The lights turned off at eleven o'clock in the dormitory. It was almost ten o'clock at this time, and Wang Ziyu had not yet fallen asleep.
She told him over the phone about the past two days of school. Because she was provincial champion, she was more well-known than other classmates. She had been identified as a freshman representative. She would speak on the day of the opening ceremony and was busy writing a speech draft.
In addition to her, there was a male classmate who was also a freshman representative, but, apparently, the other party was elected based on his relationships and would be speaking with her at the time. Wang Ziyu was a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous, it is not your first time to speak onstage. As for the classmate, just ignore him, the school will definitely not let you talk about the same things. You only need to do what you should do." Wang Cheng comforted her. "By the way, remember to wear the white skirt that Brother bought for you that day, okay?"
"Oh." Wang Ziyu responded with a guilty conscience. After buying those clothes, she didn't wear them once. It was too expensive to wear, and she felt uncomfortable.
"Oh what, you have to answer well. Send me a photo of you on the stage, and I want to see you wear that skirt." Wang Cheng still knew his sister well, just telling her didn’t mean she would wear it.
"Well, there is one more thing, eldest brother called me last night and said that he would come and cheer me up on the day of the opening ceremony." Wang Ziyu did not dare to think that her brother would come to see her, let alone cheer her up, so there was a touch of excitement in her words. She loved her second brother, but she admired her eldest brother, as he had always been her role model.
"Okay, elder brother is an alumnus of Beijing University. Don't worry if you are with him."
"Ok."
"Have you called our parents recently?"
"Yes, I just made a phone call in the morning, and mother said that the new house will be renovated soon. It seems that they’re done constructing. When will second brother go home?"
"I will go back this weekend. You concentrate on your studies. Speaking of which, I will call you next time."
"Okay, second brother, good night."
"Good night."
