"Why are you taking me back to Jiangbei?" Tang Yan asked, full of confusion, in the Santana.
She couldn't quite grasp how things had ended up this way. All she had wanted was for Yu Zhou to give her some travel expenses and let her leave. After all, if it were anyone else, there would be almost no chance of that happening, but for a millionaire, wasn't it as simple as giving a few dozen yuan? Not even worth a single strand of hair?
But why was it now that Yu Zhou wanted her to follow him to Jiangbei? I am a little pretty, but you're not interested, are you?
Tang Yan couldn't help but overthink it. The whole situation seemed too bizarre. Anyone else would never imagine that the person they ran away with would be a legendary millionaire. But the reality was so magical. As soon as she said she was still there, the other party directly took her back to Jiangbei. What was this?
Was she really going to follow this big boss and do something shady? It wasn't Tang Yan's fault for having such thoughts. It was just that Yu Zhou didn't seem like that kind of person, but the matter was inexplicable.
"If I told you that bringing you back to Jiangbei is the same as in Ningzhou, to get you involved in those scam fundraising projects, would you believe me?"
Seeing Tang Yan's expression, Yu Zhou couldn't help but find it amusing. For some reason, he wanted to tease her.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yan's face contorted like a bitter melon.
Good heavens, was this escaping one tiger's den only to fall into a wolf's lair? Of course, she knew Yu Zhou was joking, but due to her past trauma, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"Now, if you don't go to Jiangbei, do you have anywhere else to go? Planning to go back to the countryside? Are you willing to accept that?" Yu Zhou smiled again, but this smile brought a great deal of warmth to Tang Yan.
That's right, things had already come to this point. Even if she really wanted to go home, would she really be content? If she wasn't content, what could she do in big cities or various provincial capitals? Either she'd be serving dishes in a restaurant with no education, or working in various small factories. What hope would there be for her life? For an ambitious woman, Tang Yan didn't want to live like this, nor could she imagine herself just muddling through day after day.
"Going to Jiangbei, I won't assign you any too important work in the short term. What you need now is to learn."
"Especially in marketing and product knowledge."
"The salary I give you won't be a lot; it's normal!"
"If, after learning, you can show me your capabilities, then you'll follow me."
"I can't guarantee that you will become rich and noble in the future, after all, I am a businessman. Only when you demonstrate corresponding value will I truly value you." Suddenly, Yu Zhou's eyes became somewhat serious. This made Tang Yan's heart settle, and her chest began to flutter.
Is this an opportunity? She knew very well that this was an opportunity, and a rare one at that. As long as she showed her abilities and could handle things independently, her future would be very bright.
"Tha-Thank you..." Tang Yan, not knowing what else to say, could only blush and utter this. She knew clearly that since Yu Zhou said it, it was a golden opportunity for her. She didn't want to return to that remote mountain village anymore. In the real city, in society, with her current social experience, she might suffer great losses before she could slowly establish herself. But all of this changed after meeting Yu Zhou. Because, with his promise, at least she could gradually stabilize herself and wouldn't have to worry about things she would inevitably worry about.
"Tang Long, when we get home, send her to the dormitory at the new factory. Arrange for her to be in the office first!"
"After about three months, let her rotate through the workshops." Because he consciously wanted to cultivate his own team, and Tang Yan's potential was quite good, Yu Zhou gave her a fully developmental arrangement after some thought. Training and other things were not rare for Yu Zhou. But giving Tang Yan a future was something Yu Zhou felt was very worthwhile. Not only because she was indeed a talent, with good learning ability and interpersonal skills. The most important thing was that they had gone through hardship together, even if it was only for a day. Moreover, if it weren't for Tang Yan, it would have taken some effort for him to get out of that predicament. Just for this favor, if he could give her a future, he would naturally give her one.
"Okay, I understand." Tang Long was unusually quiet today, still reflecting on how he, as an assistant, almost caused such a big problem. However, if the boss gave an order, it must be carried out. Even though he understood in his heart that the so-called camaraderie between the boss and Tang Yan might not last long. Perhaps the boss would forget about it in a few months. After all, the gap in their status was more than just one or two levels in Tang Long's eyes. Yu Zhou's remembering Tang Yan now and remembering her kindness didn't mean he would always remember. Frankly speaking, even Tang Long, who had only been interacting with Yu Zhou for over half a year, couldn't claim to fully understand his boss. Naturally, he couldn't know what Yu Zhou was thinking or what he wanted to do.
Before long, Yu Zhou arrived home. Tang Long immediately rushed to open the trunk and carried Yu Zhou's luggage into the house. However, just as he was about to enter, Yu Zhou stopped him.
"Don't come in today. Help me arrange for Tang Yan properly." With just a sentence, Tang Long was stunned and then deeply moved. The boss was truly considerate. If he went in today, it would surely leave a bad impression on the boss's family. So, was the boss planning to bear it alone? Thinking of this, Tang Long's already guilty heart became even more so.
"Go on, get out of here!" Seeing Tang Long's demeanor, Yu Zhou was speechless, cursed with a smile, and pushed him away.
