Steven and Gaia chatted happily. It was obvious that they wanted to work together.
Steven could accept most of the basic conditions. Coupled with Chen Zhao's face, Steven accepted it without hesitation.
Because Gaia and Wang He needed to stay on set and familiarize themselves with the environment, Chen Zhao left alone.
Chen Zhao went to Marina Restaurant mainly to see how it was doing.
Marina Restaurant was doing well. Chen Zhao didn't need to check the accounts every day. It made about three to four hundred thousand dollars of profit every month.
Chen Zhao only needed to go to the restaurant once a month. The accountant would also send him the bills every month.
Marina Restaurant was a very high-quality business. Without Amira's help, Chen Zhao wouldn't have been able to buy 60% of Marina Restaurant's shares.
Of course, as Chen Zhao's partner, Nafa Twain didn't lose money.
After all, he'd gotten a good deal from Amira.
When Chen Zhao arrived at the restaurant, it was noon.
There were quite a lot of people, but there wasn't a long line like last time.
The restaurant would only have so many customers during business hours in the evening.
Chen Zhao sat at the counter and chatted with the staff, learning about the restaurant.
Just then, someone patted his shoulder.
Turning around, Chen Zhao saw that it was Li Qiong, but there was a man beside her.
"Old friend, why are you here?"
Li Qiong was confused. If Chen Zhao was a customer here, he wouldn't be sitting at the counter.
"Oh, I came over for something," Chen Zhao said. "This is?"
"Hi, I'm Max." The man reached out to shake Chen Zhao's hand.
"A blind date," Li Qiong said in Mandarin.
"He looks good. I wish you success."
"Thank you, but I won't chat with you anymore." Li Qiong knew her limits.
She was dating Max. She couldn't leave him aside just because she'd met Chen Zhao.
After the two sat down, the waiter came over to take their orders.
"Li, is that gentleman your ex-boyfriend?" Max asked.
"No, he's my high school classmate," Li Qiong answered. Li Qiong replied, "But I haven't seen him for many years. It should be ten years."
"Good. Looks like he's not my competitor." Max was quite humorous.
Li Qiong was a little surprised. After interacting with Max, she felt that he was a very confident person.
Moreover, Max's conditions were enough to support his confidence.
He graduated from a prestigious university and was now a senior executive of a company. Coupled with his good looks and humorous way of talking, it was hard to imagine what would happen next.
"Do you know him?" Li Qiong asked.
"No." Max shook his head.
"Then why are you worried that he will become your competitor?"
"Didn't you see the account book of this restaurant in his hand? He's a partner or owner of this restaurant. At least he's rich."
"The person holding the account book might not be the partner or the boss. It could be the accountant."
After saying that, Li Qiong paused. She remembered that Chen Zhao was a professor at UCLA and a medical major at that.
It was impossible for him to become an accountant of a restaurant. After all, an accountant needed an accounting certificate.
Li Qiong suddenly realized that she couldn't understand Chen Zhao anymore.
In high school, this boy was not good-looking and did not have outstanding grades.
When they met again, it was as if they didn't even recognize each other.
He was also so successful in his career. It was much better than she had imagined.
"Ha … The person standing behind the counter is the manager of the restaurant. Do you think a regular accountant can make the manager stand across from him while he sits?"
Just then, a waiter came to the table with a plate of Australian prawns.
"This isn't what we ordered," Max said.
"Hi, Mr. Chen treated you to this."
Li Qiong looked up at the counter, but Chen Zhao had already left.
"Li, are you sure your high school friend isn't interested in you?"
"He already has his own family."
"Fine." Max smiled bitterly. "Oh, my company has an event this weekend. Are you interested in going with me?"
"What event?" Li Qiong had a good impression of Max.
At least Max met all three of Li Qiong's requirements. He was young, rich, educated, and good-looking.
However, Chen Zhao kept popping up in Li Qiong's mind.
She always felt that Max was a little lacking compared to Chen Zhao.
"It's an executive party at Michelle Manor."
"Sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time this weekend," Li Qiong rejected in a roundabout way.
"Fine." Max was smart and didn't continue pestering her.
"Max, I'm curious. Why would a man like you listen to your family's arrangements and go on a blind date? You don't seem like someone who lacks women."
"Before I was 25, I had a lot of experience in relationships, but after that, I completely focused on work. As a result, I've been single for the past three years. My parents want a grandchild. Okay … I don't mean to treat women as birth machines. I just think that it's time to start a family."
"I thought it was only in China that parents would urge their children to get married."
"What about you? You don't seem like a woman without any pursuers. "
"Contrary to you, I've been looking for a job. I don't have time to think about it. I have time to focus on relationships."
Li Qiong had been looking for a job recently, but it was really difficult to find one that satisfied her.
Her education was neither high nor low. The positions that required her were either not qualified enough or the pay was too low. She didn't like them at all.
Coupled with her lack of work experience, many jobs had passed her by.
Li Qiong hadn't worked since graduation.
Either the pay was low, the position was low, or she wasn't qualified enough.
"Our company is looking for a business manager," Max said. "If you're interested, you can try. Of course, I don't have the final say on this."
"Okay, thank you."
"For the weekend party, you can also go and meet the executives of our company. That way, you'll have a better chance of passing the interview."
"Max, don't you want to invite a girl you admire?"
"I can't find a suitable girl right now, but if I go to the party alone, I'll be embarrassed. So, I hope you can help me save the situation … Then, may I have the honor to invite you to the party?"
