Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 012 Old Horse is as Steady as a Dog
Yiyuan Garden, in a private room for twelve people.
"Suosuo, I didn't expect you could sing English songs. You're so cute!"
"No way, Mr. Ye, you are too kind!"
…
Master Ma, who arrived earlier than Yuan Xudong, was chatting with Zhu Suosuo about family matters. The two of them sat around a table with only a few dishes on it, but they didn't eat anything. It was obvious that they were not interested in the food and had other thoughts in mind!
At this moment, the boss of Yiyuan knocked on the door and came in. Following Yuan Xudong's instructions, he looked at Master Ma who was chatting with Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:
"Mr. Ma, a batch of golden crabs just arrived in the store. Each crab is the best crab carefully selected by me. Would you and Miss Zhu like to order two golden crab sets?"
Hearing the Yiyuan boss personally recommend the signature dishes here, Master Ma, who had long been planning to show off in front of Zhu Suosuo, felt very proud and said in a calm tone:
"Okay, thank you boss!"
Seeing Master Ma's pretentious tone, the owner of Yiyuan also cooperated calmly and said:
"Look at what you are saying. Our business here depends on you to take care of it!"
After that, he deliberately reminded Zhu Suosuo:
"You two, the golden crab set meal is best paired with some wine. We just got a new batch of Chateau Margaux dry red wine. Would you like two bottles?"
Two bottles of Chateau Margaux dry red wine are not cheap. Seeing Zhu Suosuo's expectant expression, Master Ma was flustered, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said:
"I don't like drinking, just prepare a bottle for Miss Zhu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Ma, fearing that he would lose face, quickly looked at the owner of Yiyuan and said calmly:
"By the way, didn't Mr. Ye store a box of old tree tea in your store? I like drinking tea, it's better for health. Can you make me a pot?"
Upon hearing this, the boss of Yiyuan looked at Master Ma in surprise. The other party actually wanted to privately embezzle the old tree tea that Ye Jinyan used to entertain guests. It seems that what Mr. Yuan said is true. Master Ma may have embezzled public funds. He finally confirmed:
"Mr. Ma, are you sure you want to make a pot?"
"Of course, Mr. Ye won't mind!"
In front of Zhu Suosuo, Master Ma nodded as a matter of course. Fearing that if the boss of Yiyuan continued to stay, he would expose his identity as Ye Jinyan's full-time driver, he pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"Boss, I want to talk to Miss Zhu alone, you go and do your work first!"
Having already done what Yuan Xudong had asked him to do, the boss of Yiyuan naturally would not stay here to make himself bored. He looked at Master Ma and Zhu Suosuo, and said goodbye with a smile on his face:
"Please wait a moment, I won't disturb you anymore!"
Seeing the boss of Yiyuan leave the private room, Master Ma drank the tea on the table while hiding his panic and said:
"This boss really knows how to run a business. He opened such a big private room for us, and served us a golden crab set meal and Chateau Margaux dry red wine. He made the customer , and you still can't find fault with him!"
It was the first time that Zhu Suosuo heard the owner of Yiyuan call Ye Jinyan Mr. Ma. She hesitated and said:
"I'm sorry, I just heard the boss call you... Mr. Ma? I thought you were..."
“Oh~~”
Seeing that Zhu Suosuo had finally seen through his identity as Ye Jinyan, Master Ma, who had been prepared for this, was not in a hurry. He opened his mouth and told a lie that he had prepared long ago, nine lies and one truth:
"My last name is Ma, and others respectfully call me Mr. Ma. I should be considered a good friend of Lao Ye. We have worked together for eight years, and I can be considered his right-hand man.
In Jingyan Group, the person that Lao Ye trusts the most is me. He is the group president, and I am considered the vice president. I own a certain amount of shares, barely making me a major shareholder of Jingyan Group, and I also serve as the executive director of the group's board of directors!"
"So this is ah!"
After listening to Master Ma's explanation, Zhu Suosuo felt relieved and said with a smile:
"Mr. Ma, I'll take my resume to the company for you tomorrow!"
Master Ma has been the CEO's driver for eight years. Almost everyone in Jingyan Group knows Master Ma. If Zhu Suosuo goes to the company, he will definitely not be able to deceive people. Thinking of this, Master Ma quickly changed the subject and said with a hint of ill intention:
"No need for a resume, I'll arrange it for you as soon as possible. If I have time in the next two days, I can go to you to get your resume!"
Seeing that Master Ma was so easy-going, Zhu Suosuo quickly said politely:
"No, you're so busy. I live in an alley, it's not convenient!"
"It's just a matter of stepping on the accelerator!"
Master Ma, who had long coveted Zhu Suosuo's youth and beauty, couldn't wait to go to Zhu Suosuo's house. Without allowing the other party to continue to refuse, he deliberately showed off to divert attention:
"Actually, we don't have to race against time. That's all exaggerated in the news and on TV. Oh, let me tell you something. The more successful a person is in his career, the more free time he has. For someone like me, it's okay to be lazy for a day or two. No one will blame me for such a thing!"
In Zhu Suosuo's eyes, a company executive like Master Ma insisted on going to her house, and although the other party was most likely greedy for her beauty, she didn't mind.
As long as the other person is rich and obsessed with her, whether it is emotional or physical, she doesn't care. She has always known what she needs.
A rich man who loves her, rather than a poor man whom she loves. She is not like Jiang Nansun, who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. She doesn't have to care about money, she can pursue her own love, and she can choose a poor scholar like Zhang Anren!
Although she was thinking about this, she smiled sweetly and said:
"Mr. Ma, thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
Master Ma said in a reserved tone, but when he saw Zhu Suosuo smiling charmingly, he couldn't help but said greedily:
"Suosuo, you are so beautiful!"
Facing Master Ma's lecherous eyes, Zhu Suosuo still wanted to confirm further:
"Mr. Ma, I still want to ask you, when can I go to your company for an internship?"
After that, worried about angering Master Ma, she quickly explained:
"I don't mean to rush you, but I have had some problems at home recently. I hope I can make money as soon as possible and give more money to the family. In this way, everyone can be more comfortable!"
"I understand. I especially understand!"
Master Ma nodded repeatedly. He certainly understood the difficulties of the poor, because he himself was a poor man, earning little money and spending a lot of money. There were so many temptations in life that he could not get what he wanted. Unfortunately, he was not right in his heart and still used sweet words to coax Zhu Suosuo:
"But to be honest, it's really wrong to let a beautiful girl like you worry about money. Now that you know me, I will worry about all money issues in the future, okay?"
Seeing that Master Ma drove a Mercedes, was dressed in a suit and tie, and could eat in a high-end restaurant, and even the boss was polite to him, Zhu Suosuo, who had determined in her heart that Master Ma was a senior executive of Jingyan Group, seemed to feel his sincerity and nodded shyly to accept it:
"Well, thank you!"
Seeing that Zhu Suosuo was so easy to deceive, Master Ma was ecstatic. Just as he was about to take a step further, the head waiter of Yiyuan knocked on the door and entered the box with the waiter and said:
"Mr. Ma, your golden crab set meal is here, as well as old tree tea and Chateau Margaux dry red wine!"
Seeing everyone entering the box, Master Ma restrained his expression and imitated Ye Jinyan's tone:
"Put it here, and you guys can go out. Miss Zhu don't need any waiting!"
Seeing Master Ma's request, the Yiyuan foreman bowed slightly and said:
"You two, please enjoy your meal. I won't disturb you any more!"
After saying that, he led a group of waiters out of the box. Thinking of his boss's instructions, he personally stood guard at the door of the box to wait for Master Ma and Zhu Suosuo to finish their meal and then bring the bill as soon as possible.
Seeing Master Ma staring at the Yiyuan foreman standing at the door of the box, Zhu Suosuo took a sip of red wine and asked curiously:
"Mr. Ma, what are you looking at?"
"nothing!"
Master Ma retracted his gaze. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he could only pretend to be a gentleman and said:
"Chateau Margaux's dry red wine has a strong aftertaste, drink less!"
“Hmm~~”
Zhu Suosuo nodded slightly. Seeing that Master Ma really only drank old tree tea, she couldn't help but wonder:
"Mr. Ma, why don't you drink?"
Of course, a full-time driver cannot drink alcohol. Ye Jinyan has a very sensitive nose, Master Ma thought to himself, but his face was calm and he even said in a very pretentious manner:
"I don't drink alcohol. I only like to drink tea, especially the old tree tea whose old leaves are stored here. Most people can't buy it. You can try it. It's delicious!"
Seeing Mr. Ma's mature, steady and extraordinary demeanor, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but put down the Chateau Margaux dry red wine in her hand, picked up a cup of old tree tea and drank it slowly, then said in a sweet and charming voice:
"Thank you, Mr. Ma, you are so kind to me!"
With a slight smile, Master Ma drank the bitter old tree tea while pretending to enjoy it and said reservedly:
“It’s my duty!”
