Mad Dog CEO and his beautiful assistant

Chapter 103 Hongmen Banquet!

Why did Zhao Dahai find a woman to seduce him? What was he trying to achieve?

"Speak clearly. Mr. Zhao asked you to come? What's your purpose? What are you planning to do?"

Winnie frowned, "Boss Zhao didn't ask me to come."

"Are you Mr. Zhao's relative?"

"Yes, we are related. Mr. Zhao didn't lie to you. Mr. Zhao doesn't know anything. Please don't tell him, okay?"

"Who is that?"

"Mr. Shen, please don't ask anymore. You're a gentleman, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart. I'm resigning tomorrow, and I hope you find a satisfactory assistant."

Winnie always keeps her word and submits her resignation. Her reason for resignation is even more outrageous: Mr. Shen is too outstanding and she is unworthy of him, so she wants to leave.

This series of actions left the company's employees confused. They had seen employees resign because of their boss's bad behavior, but they had never seen anyone quit their job because their boss was too outstanding.

Shen Qin thought carefully and realized that this person came here on purpose to test him. Zhao Dahai should not be aware of this because there was no need for Zhao Dahai to do this. So, who exactly wanted to know what kind of person he was?

He had a vague answer in his mind, and when the head of the Yu family, Yu Shen, invited him to a banquet, the answer in his mind became clearer.

He had to go to the Hongmen Feast. He wasn't afraid of Yu Shen's attitude; at worst, he could just resign. When a person has no desires or demands, they become terrifyingly strong.

He thought Yu Shen would talk to him privately, but he didn't expect Yu Pingting to attend the banquet as well.

"Don't take anything my father says to heart."

"So, what exactly will Mr. Yu say? Can you give me a spoiler?"

Unfortunately, Yu Pingting couldn't figure out what her father was trying to do. She was completely clueless and confused.

The one who came is not good!

When Shen Qin arrived at the place, Yu Shen was already seated. The environment was elegant and the dishes were exquisite. It was good. Shen Qin raised his eyes and glanced around, then returned to the starting point. Yu Shen was staring at him intently, or rather, observing him.

"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Yu Shen raised his wrist to check the time. "There's still a quarter of an hour until the agreed time. No need to apologize."

Yu Shen's attitude is quite unfathomable. He is neither arrogant, contemptuous, nor friendly. If you taste it carefully, you will find that he is a bit indifferent, a kind of indifference that makes you feel that you have everything in the world but don't care about anything.

He's a high-ranking official, after all, the head of a business empire, and shouldn't be underestimated. The only solution is to be indifferent.

Shen Qin chose a chair and sat down. The bodyguards standing upright beside him all glanced at him. Shen Qin belatedly asked, "Boss Yu, I sat down without waiting for your instructions. There's been a lot of work at the company today. I've been running around so busy that I'm exhausted."

After a while, Yu Shen finally spoke slowly: "How can we eat if we don't sit down?"

Yu Pingting subconsciously walked towards Shen Qin. Yu Shen coughed lightly, and then she turned and chose a seat between Yu Shen and Shen Qin. There were only three people at a round table, and they sat there like a three-way confrontation.

As long as Yu Shen doesn't move his chopsticks, Shen Qin, no matter how unruly he is, won't snatch the food away. Even if the other person is just an ordinary elder, he won't be so stupid.

But he didn't say a word. If others were playing tricks, he would just join in. If the enemy didn't move, he wouldn't move either. He would remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. As the saying goes, if he doesn't say a word, even gods cannot do anything to him.

He knew that Yu Shen was looking at him. When Yu Shen looked at him, he looked at the food, because there was nowhere else for him to look except the food. He couldn't just stare at Yu Pingting.

"Is the company very busy?" Yu Shen finally spoke.

"Busy." Shen Qin told the truth.

"You are responsible for the strategic level, and let the people below handle the specific matters."

"That won't work. I'm young and inexperienced. What if the people below try to trick me?"

Yu Pingting chuckled and immediately drank water to cover it up.

"Let's eat and talk at the same time." Yu Shen finally started eating.

The Hongmen Banquet was still a banquet, even if it was fake, the food was real. Shen Qin ate happily, because most people worked hard just for a bite to eat.

Yu Shen was used to seeing all kinds of people, but he rarely saw anyone like Shen Qin. He stared at Shen Qin for a long time, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"Old Zhao strongly recommended you, but I originally disagreed."

When these words were spoken, Shen Qin pricked up his ears to listen for the word "but".

"But Old Zhao swore that you were a talented general, no, a talented commander. One general is worth a thousand soldiers, and one commander can decide the outcome of a war."

Thinking of Zhao Dahai, Shen Qin felt inexplicably kind and warm in her heart.

"Haichuan was founded by Lao Zhao, and he treats him like his own son. He is confident in entrusting Haichuan to you. I think you must have something extraordinary."

"Not really." Shen Qin was very honest. "When Mr. Zhao fell, no one dared to help him, so I took him to the hospital. Mr. Zhao has a filter for me."

Puff! Yu Pingting laughed again.

Now, Yu Shen’s expression couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Other people are afraid of being blackmailed, but you are not?"

"That's not the case. I went through a lot of mental struggle. Mr. Zhao praised me for my bravery, but in reality, I was really afraid he would blackmail me."

Ha ha ha ha--

Yu Pingting completely let herself go, and even the top socialites couldn't hold back.

There was a smile between Yu Shen's eyebrows. He raised his glass to Shen Qin. Driver Shen Qin raised his glass in return and took a sip of juice.

"I understand Lao Zhao a little bit. Given his personality, it's normal for him to like you. I've seen Haichuan's financial statements, and you've performed well since taking office."

Shen Qin waited quietly for the next words.

"Young people are hardworking and down-to-earth, which is great. But even though a dragon enters the sea and a roc spreads its wings, the waters of Haichuan are still a bit shallow."

Yu Shen stared at him.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would have already jumped on the bandwagon by now, but Shen Qin was secretly wondering: Was Yu Shen's olive branch an offer of support, or another test?

The scheming of an emperor is always unfathomable. If his words and actions were inconsistent, the empire would have fallen long ago.

Shen Qin would not be that naive, and besides, he didn't want to leave Haichuan at all.

"Just because something looks like a dragon doesn't mean it's a dragon, and just because it has wings doesn't mean it's a bird. If you can't even swim in a small pool, jumping into the sea is a sure death. I find Haichuan too big, with too many people and too much to do. I'm tempted to quit every minute."

Yu Shen looked at Shen Qin for a long time, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry. His mental state was quite strong.

But Shen Qin is not a pushover either. He is not a delicate young man from a rich family. He has been through hardships, setbacks, and tasted the sufferings of the world. He is the plum blossom that stands proudly in the snow in winter, and the white jade that would rather break than yield.

Yu Shen's eyes lit up with admiration. "No matter how hard you try in a small pond, the water is limited. The joy of sailing in the ocean can only be experienced through personal experience. Humility is a virtue, as is self-confidence. The sea is not a place to stay for long. Others may not find a way to the sea even after years of scheming. I am willing to give you this opportunity."

Now that things have come to this, it would be ungrateful to refuse.

But what Yu Shen threw out at this moment might not be a hook to lure people's ambitions. Perhaps Yu Shen really intended to promote him, or perhaps, Yu Shen just wanted to expose the true colors of the person who took the bait.

Either way, Shen Qin was too lazy to speculate, because he was destined to be ungrateful.
