At eleven that morning, Zhang Xuegang returned to the inn after delivering goods to Love Fruit in Rao City.
"What are you grinning about, Zhang? Did something good happen?"
The auntie at the fruit stand in the inn's front courtyard smiled and teased Zhang Xuegang when she saw him coming in beaming.
"Hehe, Aunt Liu, can you tell fortunes or something? You even spotted that."
Zhang Xuegang greeted Aunt Liu with a chuckle.
Just thinking about how he would soon become a manager, earn tens of thousands a month, and reach the peak of his life...
Zhang Xuegang simply couldn't hide his excitement!
"Come on, tell me what happened!"
Aunt Liu wore the curious expression of a spectator waiting for some juicy gossip.
"Hehe, it's nothing much. It hasn't been settled yet, so I'll keep quiet for now. I'll tell you once it's confirmed. I'll let you get back to work!"
Zhang Xuegang didn't dare make any sweeping claims. After greeting Aunt Liu, he headed straight for the entrance to the inn's reception hall.
After all, the matter of going to Capital City as a regional manager had only been mentioned over the phone. They hadn't discussed it face-to-face yet.
Zhang Xuegang had hurried back to the inn after his delivery precisely because he wanted to discuss it with Lin Zhe.
"You're back, Zhang!"
"You're back, Zhang!"
As soon as Zhang Xuegang entered, the sisters Li Yanfei and Li Yanxue at the service desk greeted him with smiles, treating him with great respect.
Lin Zhe had never hidden his relationships with his cousin, his cousin-in-law, and his elder aunt.
The inn's ordinary employees were somewhat inclined to curry favor with these relatives and friends of Lin Zhe's.
"Yes, I'm back. Is President Lin in his office?"
"He is."
"Great, thanks!"
