Seeing the youth's reserve and unease, Fu Shan smiled again.
"What's wrong? I'm actually hungry too. Young man, just think of it as joining me for a meal. How about that?"
In truth, he wasn't hungry.
However, to ensure his company's future CEO could relax and enjoy a good meal with him, Fu Shan couldn't help but tell a white lie.
Hearing this, the youth's eyes immediately lit up.
"So, you're hungry too, sir? Then... alright, I'll go with you to get something to eat."
He was just going to accompany this very kind sir.
He would only eat a little.
Yes, just a little!
Fu Shan smiled at the words, waving his hand in a hearty manner.
"Alright. Let's go! Let's go eat!"
Fu Shan had originally wanted to take the young man to a slightly better restaurant nearby, to treat him to a good meal.
However, the young man insisted on not accepting.
Under his insistence, the two of them could only come to the hospital cafeteria and casually order a few dishes to make do.
In the hospital cafeteria
Fu Shan ate a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat congee, not quite in the mood, and said:
"I told you to go to a decent restaurant nearby and eat something nice. Why did you insist on coming here?"
Hearing this, the young man sitting across from him, who was currently devouring his food with gusto, waved his hands repeatedly.
"No need! No need! This is already great. Sir, really, no need! Why make you spend money? If I wasn't so broke and didn't have any money, I'd actually want to treat you to a meal."
The young man thought the handsome young man in front of him, who wasn't much older, was a good person!
A rare good person! He could feel the warmth and kindness the other person was giving him.
And this warmth and kindness was something he hadn't received from anyone since he arrived in Modu and had been wandering around for so many days.
He was a very grateful person.
Therefore, he was even more grateful for Fu Shan's kindness towards him.
Now, he didn't have the ability.
If, one day, he did have the ability, he would definitely repay the person in front of him for their "one meal's kindness."
Mmhmm.
"Don't keep calling me 'Mister,' young man. Calling me that makes us seem distant. My name is Fu Shan, you can just call me Fu Shan. Right, I still don't know your name. It's not good to keep calling you 'young man,' 'young man,' is it?"
Seeing the emotion in the young man's eyes, Fu Shan waved his hand and laughed.
"Then... I'll call you Brother Shan."
The young man heard this, scratched his head, and grinned.
He then took the initiative to extend his right hand and said seriously: "Brother Shan, hello! My name is Zhou Qin, you can just call me Xiao Zhou. I'm really happy to meet you!"
"I'm very happy to meet you too!"
Fu Shan returned Zhou Qin's big smile, and clasped the hand he'd offered.
Friendship is a very mysterious thing.
For example, at this moment, the friendship between these two men was quietly established.
"Zhou Qin, I just started a small company. Are you interested in helping me out?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Fu Shan proposed.
Since the Prophet System had been frantically hinting that he must hire Zhou Qin to be his assistant,
there was no way he could let go of such a talented person as Zhou Qin.
"Right?"
Fu Shan was determined to poach Zhou Qin today.
"Huh? Shan-ge, are you going to hire me to work at your company?"
Zhou Qin, who was about to continue eating his porridge, was startled when he heard this. He suddenly looked up, staring at Fu Shan in surprise.
So, Shan-ge owned a company.
A big boss!
No wonder he had such an extraordinary air.
However, Shan-ge actually wanted him to work at his company.
Zhou Qin hadn't expected this at all.
Meeting Zhou Qin's surprised gaze, Fu Shan raised an eyebrow.
"What? You don't want to?"
Saying this, he patted his chest again.
"Don't worry! The salary and benefits will definitely be excellent! Just for you calling me 'Brother', I, Fu Shan, will never treat you badly!"
Zhou Qin heard this and quickly waved his hand.
"No! No! Brother Shan, that's not what I meant. I just want to ask, are you really going to hire me to work at your company? Look at me now..."
Speaking to this point, Zhou Qin subconsciously glanced at his own disheveled appearance, and couldn't help but force a smile.
In the final analysis, it was still because he was too young.
He had always considered himself talented, and was determined to come to the big city to make a name for himself.
Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived in Modu, he would be swindled out of all his money.
In Modu, he was a stranger, with no impressive academic qualifications, connections, or family background to speak of.
For a time, he couldn't even find a job to make ends meet.
He had been starving for several days before this.
If it weren't for the kind person – Brother Shan – he probably would have starved to death.
Brother Shan trusted him so much and was even offering him a job opportunity.
Zhou Qin was naturally extremely grateful.
However, after this period of hardship, Zhou Qin had long lost his former confidence and arrogance. He was afraid that his abilities were limited, that he wouldn't be able to help Fu Shan and would instead be a burden, which would be terrible!
Fu Shan wasn't stupid. Seeing Zhou Qin's state, he thought for a moment and understood. He immediately waved his hand: "It's nothing! From now on, you'll follow Brother Shan! I believe in you! It's settled! I'll take you to the company to take a look later."
Zhou Qin was very moved when he heard this. A surge of emotion welled up inside him, and he immediately patted his chest, making a loud thumping sound.
"Brother Shan, you can rest assured! I, Zhou Qin, will definitely not let you down!"
With that, he stood up straight, as if he was about to walk out of the cafeteria.
"Let's go, Brother Shan, let's go take a look at your company."
Zhou Qin was also a practical person.
He believed in doing what he said, without hesitation.
At this moment, Zhou Qin had already secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely develop and expand Brother Shan's small company, making it bigger and stronger!
So enthusiastic, huh?
Fu Shan couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly. After thinking for a moment, he suggested:
"How about... we go to the company after we finish eating?"
However, Zhou Qin was very enthusiastic and proactive, immediately shaking his head repeatedly.
"No need! I've already eaten. Shan-ge, let's go to the company now."
Seeing Zhou Qin so eager, as if he'd been given a shot of adrenaline, what else could Fu Shan say?
He could only say, "Alright. Let's go then."
And so, the two of them hastily left the hospital cafeteria and headed towards the Aifei Entertainment office building.
However, after arriving at Aifei Entertainment and understanding the actual situation, Zhou Qin was somewhat stunned.
Wasn't this the entertainment company that had invested in and produced the recent hit drama, Legend of the Mystic Blade, which had both high viewership ratings and a good reputation?
It was also the same Aifei Entertainment that had the resurgent national goddess, Xu Yifei, as one of its artists!
Just this, and it was considered a small company?
Shan-ge, do you really need to be so humble and low-key?
Big boss, please accept my prostration!
