Chapter 186: 【186】Does Mr. Tang still lack concubines?_1

“I think Mr. Yao’s decision is very wise, Miss Jiang is indeed the right candidate for the job.”

Regardless of whether Mr. Yao’s intentions were genuine or not, since he asked for Tang Feng’s opinion, Tang naturally recommended the capable without bias.

“Very good, very good.”

Yao Wannian repeatedly expressed his approval. Since Tang Feng had said so, it was tantamount to tacitly accepting his apology, which finally put his mind at ease.

“Jiang, work hard, I have faith in you.” He once again assumed the posture of a leader and turned his head to encourage Jiang Zi with a few words.

“Thank you, Mr. Yao. I will certainly work hard,” Jiang Zi responded immediately, showcasing her professionalism as someone who was not new to the job market.

But she knew in her heart that the reason she got this position was entirely thanks to Tang Feng, for which she was immensely grateful.

Her efforts over more than a year hadn’t been as effective as a single word from Tang Feng.

As for Huo Lingling at her side, a storm of emotions had long since been unleashed in her heart.

She had joined the company much earlier than Jiang Zi, and considered her own work capability to be no less.

If a manager was to be promoted, surely it should be her turn first.

Despite her pristine appearance, wasn’t she just another person climbing the ranks through a man’s support?

Envy, jealousy, and even a touch of resentment quickly filled her heart.

Yao Wannian nodded in satisfaction, then turned to gauge Zhou Bingrui’s expression.

Zhou Bingrui, seeing that Tang Feng had accepted the apology, didn’t say anything more; instead, he put an arm around Tang Feng’s shoulder.

“Feng, I’ve already spoken to my dad, and he’s very interested in your Physiognomy Skill. But he’s a bit busy these days; it might be a few days before he’s free to meet you.”

Tang Feng nodded, “No problem. Whenever your dad is free, just let me know.”

“Okay, then I won’t disturb your meal. Let’s get together when we have the chance,” Bingrui patted his shoulder and then leaned in to whisper in his ear, “Take it easy tonight.”

“Get out of here.”

Tang Feng laughed and cursed in good humor.

Zhou Bingrui didn’t say anything more, waved his hand, and walked away surrounded by a group of people.

As soon as he left, the restaurant’s owner hurried over, “Mr. Tang, hello, I’m Wan Hui, the owner of Maya Restaurant. It’s an honor to serve you.”

As the owner spoke, he took a business card from his pocket and handed it to Tang Feng with respect.

Tang Feng took the business card, glanced at it, and casually put it in his pocket, “Mr. Wan, hello, is there something you need?”

“It’s truly a pleasure for us at Maya Restaurant to have someone of Mr. Tang’s stature visit. Are you satisfied with our service?”

“Quite good.”

“That’s great, feel free to order whatever you like, your meal today is on the house.”

“Is that really necessary?”

Tang Feng knew that Mr. Wan was being so courteous to him surely because of Bingrui’s influence, but he didn’t want to take advantage of the situation.

“Mr. Tang, please don’t refuse. Otherwise, it would make things difficult for me.”

“If Mr. Rui knew you came to my restaurant and I charged you, he would surely scold me.”

Mr. Wan suddenly became anxious, his demeanor as if to say, if you dare pay, it’s like you’re disrespecting me.

Jiang Zi and Huo Lingling exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised.

The meal would cost at least six or seven thousand, to just waive it off like that? That’s some significant clout.

Tang Feng, left without choice, smiled wryly, “Alright then, thank you.”

Mr. Wan finally smiled contentedly, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then turned to leave.

Both Jiang Zi and Huo Lingling looked at Tang Feng with varying expressions.

Although Jiang Zi had seen Zhou Bingrui before, she didn’t expect his influence to be so great that even her own boss had to watch his expressions.

And that Zhou Bingrui seemed to value Tang Feng particularly.

This made her even more curious: what was so special about Tang Feng? How could he have a relationship with such a person?

As for Huo Lingling, aside from shock, she also felt a bit embarrassed.

She had just been disparaging Tang Feng, saying his connections were lacking.

Never did she expect to be slapped in the face in the next second.

Connections aren’t about quantity, but about quality.

That Mr. Rui clearly was no ordinary person, even their boss had to curry favor with him.

And for Tang Feng to know a person like that was worth more than a thousand other connections.

If she could latch onto his coattails, she too could rise to success.

Didn’t she see Jiang Zi had been promoted to manager?

She quickly adjusted her mindset and began to wear a silly, enamored look, constantly throwing flirtatious glances at Tang Feng.

“I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.”

Tang Feng was genuinely disgusted by her and immediately got up to leave the table.

“Jiang Zi? How do you know Mr. Tang?” Huo Lingling withdrew her gaze and asked Jiang Zi curiously.

“We were high school classmates and just reconnected recently.” Jiang Zi was an honest person and didn’t know how to beat around the bush.

“Just reconnected? Have you guys…” Huo Lingling started to say something and then stopped, raising her eyebrows suggestively.

“Have we what?” Jiang Zi didn’t catch on to her hint.

“You know, have you applauded for love?” Huo Lingling had to ask straightforwardly.

Jiang Zi’s pretty face instantly turned red, “What… what are you talking about?”

“What’s wrong with asking? We’re all adults here. Even if it was that, it’s no big deal,” Huo Lingling couldn’t comprehend her shy reaction.

Jiang Zi suddenly felt her whole body heat up and hurriedly fanned herself with her hand, not wanting to continue the conversation.

Just then, Tang Feng returned from the restroom, “Are you finished eating? If you are, I’ll take you back.”

His question was for Jiang Zi.

“Yes, I’m done.”

Jiang Zi obediently nodded her head, wiped her mouth with a napkin, picked up her handbag, and followed him out.

Huo Lingling shamelessly followed suit.

When she saw Tang Feng walking toward a Ferrari sports car, she was stunned once again and quickly nudged Jiang Zi, “Is that sports car his?”

“Yeah.”

Jiang Zi looked down on her gold-digging behavior and responded with a perfunctory nod.

“Oh my god, I’ve never been in a sports car. I really want to experience it,” Huo Lingling stared goggle-eyed at the sports car, drooling with envy.

Jiang Zi couldn’t be bothered with her this time and simply pretended not to hear.

But Huo Lingling didn’t plan to let it go, leaning in she whispered in her ear, “Jiang Zi, does Mr. Tang still lack a mistress?”

“Huh?”

Jiang Zi was instantly baffled by her question.

The word “mistress” was so foreign, she almost thought she had traveled back to ancient times.
