Cheng Su is true to her word; whenever thereâs a social engagement, she uses her pregnancy preparation as an excuse to refuse the offered drinks, delegating the task to the restaurantâs managers, like Qiulan and the others.
If it really canât be avoided, she will only take a small sip of yellow wine, since itâs an ancient wine, rich in nutrients, and drinking a small amount wonât cause much harm.
Another point is that she can attend the engagements but sheâs not there for drinking. With so many managers at the restaurant, what are they there for, if not to lead? Why should the boss be present at every social function?
As the excitement of the new opening at Joy Soon Loy Restaurant gradually subsided, Cheng Su handed its management over to the management team. In mid-February, university started, and she went to register, returning to her routine of occasionally going to work and attending classes.
Just like before, Cheng Su was again caught by Ming Xiaofan.
"Junior, junior, long time no see! Wow, after the new year, youâve become even more beautiful!" Ming Xiaofan complimented her with a smile.
Cheng Su laughed and said, "Senior, youâre also looking more handsome!" although he still appeared quite unkempt.
"Junior, I have something to discuss with you. I need your advice," Ming Xiaofan said.
"Go ahead!"
Ming Xiaofan scratched his head and said, "Itâs nothing much, really. I just found a job in communications, sort of like a phone company."
"Oh? Thatâs great! Congratulations! The communications industry will surely become a giant in the future. If you do well, your achievements will definitely be significant," Cheng Su immediately responded.
While others might not know, she was quite aware that the communications industry would be very advanced in the future and develop into a major giant. Ming Xiaofan was interested in this area, and starting now would lead to him becoming an excellent communications professional in the future.
"I knew asking you, junior, wouldnât be wrong. You also think itâs great, right? I also feel this communications industry has a very promising development outlook. I told them, and they didnât believe me, said I was daydreaming, really lacking vision," Ming Xiaofan snorted.
Cheng Su smiled and said, "If you believe itâs the right thing, just go ahead and do it. You donât need to care about how others see it. When youâve succeeded in the future, everyone will realize that your choice wasnât wrong, and theyâll envy you."
"Thatâs exactly how I feel. Iâm thinking of first working at that company to see how they operate and move forward, and then Iâll have the opportunity to start my own," Ming Xiaofan said excitedly.
Cheng Suâs eyes lit up, and she said, "Senior Ming has great aspirations. Iâm looking forward to hearing good news from you."
"So, should I just go to work?" Ming Xiaofan asked with a smile.
"Absolutely, why not? If you want to go and theyâre hiring you, thereâs no reason not to," Cheng Su said, then asked, "What about your studies?"
"No worries, Iâm in my third year already, and besides, university life is all about having fun. Moreover, arenât you also managing a business while studying?" Ming Xiaofan replied.
Cheng Su was startled, "You know about that?" It seemed like she hadnât mentioned her business activities before, right?
"Yes, other classmates said so, mentioned you have several big businesses. But Iâm not sure how they know, just overheard them talking," Ming Xiaofan said, "Youâre really amazing, junior."
Cheng Su furrowed her brows but then realized itâs not a big deal and relaxed, smiling, "Maybe they saw me involved in some business!" She wondered if the noticeable activity from the Joy Soon Loy Restaurant opening might have led classmates to notice?
However, she wasnât really pleased about others gossiping about her, as it involved personal privacy.
