The others tactfully entered the private room first. Then, Manager Wu led Boss Chen to another lounge.
"Boss Chen? What can I do for you? "Manager Wu stood by the table and asked.
"That young man just now played the guqin quite well. He's also quite good-looking." Boss Chen paused and then went straight to the point. "Recently, I've been talking about a collaboration with Eagle Vision Group's Chairman Wei. However, Boss Wei seems to be in a bad mood recently. We haven't been able to reach an agreement. Boss Wei is also a person who likes to listen to guqin. However, the ones that can satisfy him are all old guqin players. It's rare to meet such a young and beautiful guqin player. If you can convince him to make Boss Wei happy, I can consider helping you with the thing you've been asking me to do. "
Manager Wu originally wanted to say that the child had a bad temper and that it might be difficult for him to please Boss Wei. However, when he heard Boss Chen say that he could help him solve the problem that had been bothering him recently, he immediately swallowed the words that were already at the tip of his tongue. He changed the wording and said, "This child's parents are both dead. He also has a sick younger brother. Recently, he also has to pay tuition. He's a student at Tōkyō University's Sinology Department. The tuition there is notoriously expensive. He's been in need of money recently. There's a high chance that you can convince him. However, this child used to come from a good family, so he has a bit of a young master's temper … But don't worry, I'll try my best to convince him. "
"There's one thing you must remember." Boss Chen tapped the table with his finger and said, "You can't force or threaten him. He must be willing. Also, you mentioned that he has a young master's temper. If he can't control his temper, he definitely won't be willing to give himself to Boss Wei. Otherwise, it's fine if you can't please Boss Wei, but if you offend Boss Wei, both of us will have a hard time. It's hard to say if you can still be a manager. "
"Don't worry. I know how powerful these relationships are. Don't even mention pleasing Boss Wei. Even if I were to please others, I wouldn't dare to force him. If he offends someone, I'll be implicated." Manager Wu didn't dare to say that the original owner had just offended someone. He was worried that Boss Chen would regret it immediately. He felt that the possibility of convincing Tao Wan was still very high.
After Tao Wan finished playing the zither, he originally wanted to leave immediately. Today, he slightly displayed his zither skills so that Manager Wu would take the initiative to ask him to stay. Even if Manager Wu didn't keep him, he could still find a job in other teahouses.
Before he had time to change his clothes, a staff member came to him and said that Manager Wu wanted him to stay. Tao Wan originally wanted to go back and wait for Manager Wu to come to him. But since he wanted to talk to him now, he would stay.
Tao Wan drank tea in the manager's office. After about half an hour, Manager Wu walked in.
"Manager Wu." Tao Wan stood up.
"Sit, sit, sit." Manager Wu hurriedly waved his hand at Tao Wan. After he sat down in his office chair, he looked at Tao Wan and said, "Tell me the truth. Did you hide your true strength before?"
Tao Wan pretended to hesitate and said, "Manager, you also know that people like me who have no backing and no background are different from other young zither players with backgrounds. I've already hidden my true strength, but I still can't avoid being taken advantage of. So, I don't dare to show my true strength. "
"Then what are you doing today …"
"I had to leave because I offended a customer. If I didn't show my true strength, it would be difficult for me to find a job in other tea houses. I deliberately hid my strength here and only showed it when I went to other tea houses. I was afraid that you wouldn't think well of me, so … "
"Look at you." Manager Wu shook his head helplessly and said, "If you had told me earlier that you were so skilled, I would have arranged for you to play in Fufeng Courtyard. The wages there are high and the tips are high. The customers are also generous. Don't you want to make more money?"
"I've been forced to a certain point. I can only think about making more money." Tao Wan sighed and said.
"I have a good opportunity to make money. It can let you earn enough money for your tuition. Are you willing to listen?"
Tao Wan paused and said, "If you want to say that someone wants to keep me, then forget it. No matter how short of money I am, I can't accept this kind of thing."
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Don't worry, I won't force you. Also, this person's identity is a bit special. If you offend him, I won't have a good time either. So, you have to be willing. " Manager Wu said, "I'm just saying. Just listen. If you don't want to, then pretend I didn't say anything."
Tao Wan was silent. He didn't say whether he wanted to listen or not. Because he knew that as long as he didn't say anything, Manager Wu would continue.
"You studied Chinese painting, so you know a lot about Chinese painting. But you probably don't know much about the business world." Manager Wu said, "But you must have heard of Eagle Vision Group. After all, they are involved in many industries, such as supermarkets, hospitals, hotels, and so on. Eagle Vision is one of the best in the industries that ordinary people can come into contact with. "
When Tao Wan heard Eagle Vision, his heart shook. He was very familiar with this name, but it wasn't the kind of familiarity that Manager Wu thought it was.
"Eagle Vision's Chairman Wei is a person who likes to listen to the guqin. It's rare that you can play the guqin well, and you're young and good-looking. If you can get into Chairman Wei's eyes, you won't have to worry about money anymore. Also, you'll have a big backer. As long as he's willing to protect you, who would dare to bully you in the future? "Manager Wu looked at Tao Wan and said," Do you understand what I mean? "
"The Chairman Wei you're talking about, is it Chairman Wei Shicheng?" Tao Wan confirmed with Manager Wu. He didn't want to get the wrong person.
"Yes." Manager Wu nodded. "That's him."
"Then what if I play the guqin for him? Or do I have to please him in other ways? "Tao Wan lowered his eyes and asked.
"If you only play the guqin for him, you don't actually need to. There are a lot of high-class guqin players lined up for him to choose from. The reason you have this opportunity is mainly because those who play better than you don't look as good as you, and those who look as good as you don't know how to play the guqin as well. Do you understand? "
Tao Wan continued to be silent. He showed that he was relaxed and hesitant. Because he had refused at the beginning, if he immediately agreed now, it wouldn't be right.
After Manager Wu saw his hesitation, he continued to try to persuade him. "Actually, I can understand when you rejected those who wanted to keep you. So after I mentioned it to you, I didn't say anything if you didn't want to, right? But this time, I mainly feel that this is a great opportunity for you, so I hope you can consider it carefully. " “
"You should have seen Boss Wei's appearance on the news. Many rich young masters and young ladies are attracted to him, but they can't marry him no matter how much they cry. Although you can't marry him, just treat it as if you're in a relationship with him. Don't think of it as something unbearable. You're young, so you have to have a few relationships. Boss Wei is someone who many people want but can't get. If you take money and date him, you'll make a fortune. "
"I don't want to make such a deal …" Tao Wan looked very conflicted. "But I really need money. I'm about to pay for the next quarter's tuition, and I still have to buy medicine for Du Yi …"
Manager Wu rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, I'm just saying this to you first. It's not certain if Boss Wei will like you. After all, there are so many young and beautiful women who want to climb … and do that with him. Boss Wei must be used to good-looking women. Maybe he's tired of looking at them. Even if you're willing, you might not be able to attract Boss Wei's interest. Plus, you have a bit of a young master's temper. I'm really worried that you'll anger him. "
Tao Wan pretended to be stunned for a moment. Then, he pretended to be anxious and said, "Let me try. I, I'll try my best to please him."
"To be honest, with your temper, I'm really worried. If you offend Boss Wei, I'll be done for with you." Manager Wu was really worried as he spoke.
"Manager Wu, don't worry. When I splashed Boss Zhang with water, it was because he was too disgusting that I couldn't help it. But if it was Boss Wei, I definitely wouldn't have the guts. I saw Boss Wei's interview on the news. Even through the screen, I could feel his oppressive aura. "
Manager Wu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "So you're also a person who cares about looks. Alright, I'll let you try. But let's make this clear first. No matter whether Boss Wei likes you or not, and no matter what he wants to do to you, you can't offend him. Got it? "
"Got it," Tao Wan replied softly.
Manager Wu received Tao Wan's reply. As soon as Tao Wan left, he couldn't wait to inform Boss Chen and ask him to find time to bring Boss Wei over.
When Tao Wan returned home, he was pleasantly surprised. He didn't think that he would have the opportunity to meet his target in this world so soon. He originally thought that for someone of Wei Shicheng's status, he would have to wait until he had a bit of fame in this world before he would have the chance to meet him.
But this wasn't a bad idea. First, he could seduce him and then cultivate their relationship. In short, he had to find out what kind of person he was before he could capture him as soon as possible.
A few days later, Boss Chen finally managed to convince Wei Shicheng to bring him to the teahouse for tea. During these few days, Tao Wan didn't go to the teahouse to play the guqin. Manager Wu continued to pay him by the day.
Manager Wu's idea was that even if Tao Wan didn't succeed in winning Wei Shicheng's favor, he had to keep him. He couldn't let him go to other teahouses to play the guqin. Otherwise, their competitors would have another strong helper.
Wei Shicheng knew that Boss Chen really wanted to work with him, but he really wasn't interested in working with Boss Chen. Plus, he had a lot of things to worry about recently, so he had already rejected Boss Chen's invitation several times. But they were all in this circle and would see each other often. Boss Chen's influence wasn't small, so he couldn't reject him and make him lose face. If there were other opportunities to work with him in the future, it wouldn't be easy to talk about it.
"How long has it been since Boss Wei came out to drink tea and listen to the guqin?" Boss Chen asked with a smile.
"There have been a lot of things recently. It's true that I haven't been able to drink tea and listen to the guqin in peace for a while." Wei Shicheng put down his teacup and said.
"I'm a bit older than Boss Wei, so I'll play the role of an old man to Boss Wei and share some of my experience. Sometimes, it's easier for people to solve problems in front of them when they're relaxed. Today, we'll just drink tea and listen to the guqin. We won't talk about work. Let's both relax. "
Wei Shicheng smiled and said, "Boss Chen has a point."
The side door of the private room was opened. Wei Shicheng saw a figure appear behind the screen. After a while, a melodious sound rang out.
