Chapter 358: Chapter 177: Don’t Underestimate Your Man
Gao Wenwen took one look at the receipt and was stunned.
Seeing her expression, her colleague hurried over for a look, then couldn’t help but exclaim, "This bag... it’s actually 130,000!"
That was more than a year of her salary!
"Shh, shh, shh."
Gao Wenwen quickly cautioned her, "Don’t be so loud, or everyone will find out."
"Teacher Gao, your boyfriend really spoils you."
Her colleague looked at the small handbag on the desk with envy. "Sending flowers every day is one thing, but to just give you a 130,000-yuan Louis Vuitton bag... just like that."
"I didn’t expect it either. Please don’t tell anyone." Instead of looking at the bag, Gao Wenwen put it back in its box, took out her phone, and sent a message to Xu Yun.
"You bought me a Louis Vuitton bag?"
Xu Yun replied quickly.
"Yeah, the Louis Vuitton Store was having a buy-one-get-one-free sale, so I gave you the free one."
"Xu Yun!"
Gao Wenwen replied with a smile, "I’m a teacher. A high school teacher."
"I know. You work hard, Teacher Gao. Next time I’m back, I’ll treat you to some grilled sausages."
Gao Wenwen was speechless. "..."
"Oh, I’ve got a call coming in. Talk to you later."
In his penthouse apartment, Xu Yun looked at the incoming call from his uncle and answered, "Hello, Uncle."
"Xu Yun, are you home? I’d like to come see you."
Xu Yun feigned surprise. "Uncle, you came to Jiangcheng?"
"Mhm, I’m here on business. Thought I’d stop by and see you."
"Oh, what bad timing."
Xu Yun said, sounding regretful, "I just left on a business trip myself. I’m not in Jiangcheng."
"On a business trip?"
Over the phone, his uncle paused for a second before asking, "When will you be back, then?"
"Hard to say. It’ll probably be over a month."
"Gone for that long?"
"Yep."
Xu Yun asked, "Uncle, is there something you need?"
"It’s a small matter."
His uncle chuckled. "Well, I mentioned it to your mom once, and I was planning to tell you in person, but you left the very next day, so I never got the chance.
So since I was here on business this time, I thought I’d come find you and talk about a job for your cousin."
Xu Yun sounded puzzled. "Doesn’t my cousin work for the government?"
"How much money can she make with a government job?"
His uncle said, "Xu Yun, you’ve made it big now. You should help out your cousin more. Let her follow you and make some real money in the big city."
"Uncle, I understand what you mean."
Xu Yun said, "Okay, how about this? Even though I’m not there, I can’t have you make this trip for nothing. I’ll call my partner right now.
You and my cousin can go meet with her in a bit and see if she can arrange a position at the company for her."
"Great, Xu Yun."
"But Uncle, I have to be clear about something first."
Xu Yun said, "This company isn’t mine alone. My partner is the majority shareholder, and I’m just following her lead to make money. Whether or not she gets the job will depend on my cousin herself."
"Yes, yes, of course. I understand." His uncle assumed Xu Yun was just being modest and didn’t take him seriously.
’After all, Xu Yun is one of the bosses. If a boss puts in a word, how could she not get the job?’
After hanging up, Xu Yun sent the company address to his uncle via WeChat.
At the same time, he also called Su Mu.
"Hello, you’re awake?"
In her office, Su Mu laughed into the phone, "Did you drink the tea I brewed for you?"
"Yeah, thanks a million for that."
After saying that, Xu Yun continued, "I’m calling to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"My uncle and cousin are coming to the company in a bit. He wants me to arrange a cushy job for my cousin so she can just slack off. I told him I wasn’t home."
Xu Yun instructed, "When they arrive, I need you to receive them. You can be friendly and welcoming, but don’t give her the job. Everything has to be done by the book, got it?"
"Okay, no problem."
Su Mu agreed with a smile, "Leave this to me. I guarantee your uncle and cousin will arrive happy and leave happy."
"Perfect."
After hanging up, Xu Yun washed up and headed out, planning to buy some outdoor gear.
After all, his car would be arriving in a few days, and then he’d have to set off.
’Speaking of which, I wonder how Jian Shiwai’s preparations are coming along.’
’Maybe I should ask her to go with me today to buy the things we’ll need for the trip?’
