Brush Up Your Proficiency
#123 - Reading skills upgrade
Seeing the shocked expression on Father Cheng's face, Cheng Yufei raised her head with a smug look, secretly pleased: "Hehe, see if you dare to underestimate my judgment!"
She knew that this number might just be a turnover figure to outsiders, but to an expert like her father, it held profound significance.
Chang Lei was also an industry insider. When he saw this number at the restaurant, he looked at Wang Hao with admiration. Not to mention her father, who had been in business for many years, he must understand what this number meant even more clearly!
Father Cheng took a deep breath to calm the shock in his heart, and said to Cheng Yufei earnestly:
"Feifei, although I don't want to interfere too much in your affairs, I still want to remind you that Wang Hao is indeed a rare talent.
You must maintain a good cooperative relationship with him. If there is an opportunity to provide him with some convenience, do it as much as possible. Do you understand what I mean?" Father Cheng didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning in his tone was self-evident.
Cheng Yufei nodded and replied seriously: "Don't worry, actually, although I am nominally the major shareholder of the restaurant, Wang Hao is actually the real boss. I am clear about this. After so many years in society, I understand the principle that strength determines position."
Speaking of this, Cheng Yufei paused slightly, her eyes became hesitant, as if she was considering whether she should confess to her parents about giving Wang Hao a car.
Father Cheng seemed to see his daughter's hesitation, and thought that something was wrong with the restaurant that she couldn't handle, and quickly said: "What's wrong? Is there a problem in the store? Don't worry, your dad is here! Just tell me!"
Cheng Yufei looked at her father's concerned appearance, and a warm current surged in her heart. Her originally hesitant heart instantly became firm.
She took a deep breath, and then said softly: "Dad, I want to tell you something..." Then, she explained in detail the story of her gambling with Sun Lei today, and how she finally won the car and decided to give it to Wang Hao.
After Cheng Yufei finished speaking, she still felt a little uneasy.
After all, this car was quite valuable, and she hadn't discussed it with her family before giving it away so easily, which might cause dissatisfaction or blame from her family.
So, she subconsciously moved a few steps towards her mother, hoping to get some support or at least reduce some of her pressure.
"How about it, I said the children can handle it themselves, you're just worrying unnecessarily." Mother Cheng joked with a smile, and Father Cheng laughed heartily when he heard this.
Li Nan returned home and saw her parents still working in the study, so she went over and told them about today's achievements. Although Father Li and Mother Li were laymen in business, they were still gratified and happy for their daughter when they heard that number.
Now that their daughter's body had hope of recovery, and her career had also started, the smile on her face was much more than before. These changes made them feel sincerely happy.
Knowing that Wang Hao had accepted the books very smoothly, they were relieved. Being able to send their regards without owing Wang Hao too much made them feel much more at ease.
A magnificent villa, the interior decoration is as luxurious as a palace.
At this moment, a young man was telling an old man about his difficulties.
The young man said to the old gentleman with a aggrieved face: "Grandpa, I really didn't expect that the chef of that restaurant would be so powerful.
I tried to find fault for a long time but couldn't find any. And there were so many people watching at the time. If I went back on my word, wouldn't I become a joke? It would be a loss of face for our Sun family!" After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed the old man's hand, and began to wail.
The old gentleman looked at his grandson distressedly and comforted him: "My precious grandson, don't worry, grandpa will definitely help you settle things with your dad.
As for the car you lost in the bet, grandpa will find a way to get you another one back.
However, you must remember this lesson. In the future, when you encounter this kind of situation, you must first find out about the other party before you easily agree to other people's challenges. Summarize the experience and lessons, and prepare for taking over our Sun family's business in the future, otherwise..."
The old gentleman said a lot later, but the young man only heard that his grandfather said he would buy him a new car, and he began to happily daydream. He didn't listen to the teachings behind at all. He had heard too many such words since he was a child, and his heart had already developed resistance.
"Haozi, you were so handsome today. I really didn't expect your body to be so durable. You're still so energetic after working for so long! The guys in the kitchen were all stunned! You're simply not human!"
Coming out of Shi Wei Tian, on the way back, Li Qiang's exclamations of admiration for Wang Hao resounded all the way. Li Qiang was almost immune to the shocks that his childhood friend had brought him time and time again.
"Hey, how do you talk? Is that how you praise people!" Wang Hao felt comfortable at first, but then he started to feel something was wrong. Although he knew what Li Qiang wanted to express, he couldn't help but laugh and scold him.
He Xiaoqing followed beside them, watching the two of them talking, a slight smile on her face.
She also looked at Wang Hao with a surprised expression, and the surprise in her heart was no less than Li Qiang's. The colleagues at the front desk praised Wang Hao endlessly, and they didn't hide anything from her just because she was arranged by Wang Hao.
Thinking of today's work, although she was a little uncomfortable, after a whole day of busy work, she already had a realization and some experience in the work.
Moreover, on the first day, they, as a couple, received a bonus of 400 yuan. This kind of real reward made her feel very fulfilled.
And these were all opportunities that Wang Hao gave them. Watching the two of them talking and laughing, she sincerely felt that they were a couple blessed by luck.
“Oh, my dear brother, you're finally back! You really made me proud today!” Wang Hao had just opened the door and hadn't even had time to change his shoes when he heard Wang Lan's joyful voice.
She rushed out of the living room, greeting Wang Hao with a beaming smile.
While changing his shoes, Wang Hao asked in confusion, “What's wrong with you? Why are you so happy? Did something happen?”
Wang Lan waved her hands excitedly, pulling Wang Hao into the living room, eager to tell him about her experiences today.
However, when she saw the car keys Wang Hao placed on the table, her eyes lit up immediately, her attention instantly drawn to them.
“Wow, what's this? Car keys?” Wang Lan asked in surprise, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
She quickly picked up the car keys, examining them carefully, then looked at Wang Hao excitedly, anticipating his answer.
Wang Hao smiled helplessly, recalling the scene where he had firmly refused to accept the car, but was ultimately forced to take it.
Although he felt a little depressed, he also understood that Cheng Yufei was doing all this to help him.
At the same time, he realized that although he was sometimes swayed by Cheng Yufei in some matters, the final result was often beneficial to him.
Putting aside his inexplicable emotions, such things seemed pretty good.
“Yeah, a car key.
But don't get too excited, I'll explain it to you later.
First, tell me why you're so happy,” Wang Hao said with a smile to Wang Lan, trying to redirect her attention back to the original topic.
Wang Lan excitedly recalled the scene at the restaurant today with her best friend, where Wang Hao's cooking had drawn frantic praise from her friend, which made her feel particularly proud, especially the waiter's actions, which made her feel like she could finally stand up straight.
Listening to Wang Lan's story, Wang Hao, although he didn't quite understand where young people's happiness lay, still chose to be a brother who wouldn't spoil the mood, blindly nodding in agreement!
Afterward, Wang Hao told Wang Lan about being forced by Cheng Yufei to accept the car, his words revealing a sense of helplessness.
“Well, there's nothing I can do, who told her to be so stubborn?” He sighed and said, “It's like a luxury car suddenly fell on my head.”
Hearing her brother say this, Wang Lan didn't even have time to be happy about having a car in the family before looking up at Wang Hao with a strange expression.
“Brother, do you know that your current performance of showing off is really annoying!” Wang Lan said bluntly.
If such a thing happened to someone else, they would have happily flaunted it everywhere.
Being given a car by a beautiful woman was something that many men would envy, be jealous of, and hate.
But her brother looked unwilling, and this feeling of showing off made her, as a girl, feel resentful.
Wang Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes, muttering to herself, “Brother, you don't know how good you have it!”
“Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you.
I need to wash up quickly, I've used up too much energy today!” Wang Hao didn't realize his problem, simply assuming that his sister didn't understand him, so he didn't say anything more.
Today, the high level of mental concentration required for more than ten hours of work had made his mind a bit chaotic.
If he hadn't felt extremely relaxed and his mind becoming clearer when reading books recently, he wouldn't have been sure if he would have made mistakes during such a long period of work.
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he picked up the box containing the books, put it in the bedroom, and then went to wash up.
Wang Lan originally wanted to refute her brother's point of view, but seeing that Wang Hao was really tired, she didn't joke anymore, poured a cup of tea for Wang Hao and brought it to his room, no longer disturbing Wang Hao, and played with the key herself.
After washing up, Wang Hao returned to his room, the fatigue in his mind making him want to fall asleep immediately.
But reason told him that if he read books to improve his reading skills at this time, his mental recovery would be faster than sleeping.
He hadn't opened the books that Li Nan's parents had given him yet.
Although Li Nan said they weren't valuable, it was obvious that her parents were cultured people.
Although he had never liked studying much since he was a child, he admired people who were good at studying from the bottom of his heart.
The books chosen by cultured people would definitely not be bad, Wang Hao thought to himself, and carefully opened the box.
This simple and elegant box looked like it had been prepared with care, and it was very comfortable to look at.
After opening the box, there was a set of books lying inside.
Wang Hao picked them up and took a look.
Wow, good heavens, it was a complete collection of Lao-Zhuang, which looked quite antique.
The paper of the books was very special.
With Wang Hao's insight, he could only tell that the material of the paper was different, but he couldn't see the specific details.
The whole book gave him a sense of being carefully stored and then aged.
“Is the current aging process so strong?” Wang Hao couldn't help but wonder.
He hadn't been exposed to this field before, so he wasn't very clear.
If Lao-Zhuang's books were placed in the past, Wang Hao would definitely put them back untouched, really just treating them as a memorable gift to be put away.
But since he had the reading skill, he now liked this kind of profound book more and more.
It felt like playing a game.
Simple books were like Snake, although you could play, the game experience was completely different from epic masterpieces like Lao-Zhuang.
Wang Hao took a sip of the tea his sister had prepared for him, then opened the first volume of the book and began to read.
As Wang Hao read, the aura of the book began to surround Wang Hao, and his originally tired spirit began to recover visibly, and the expression on his face quickly changed from the previous fatigue to a look full of vitality.
This book seemed to have great magic, making Wang Hao completely unaware of his current rapid recovery, still immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
Unconsciously, Wang Hao's eyes began to close slightly, and his body also began to relax, so that his spirit was immersed in it, and he fell asleep quietly.
During sleep, the refined temperament that appeared on his body due to reading books became more and more solid, with a mysterious aura surrounding Wang Hao, making Wang Hao's originally somewhat ordinary appearance change little by little.
If you observe carefully, you will find that Wang Hao's facial features have not changed, only subtle adjustments have been made.
Through this adjustment, Wang Hao's entire image made people feel more and more pleasing to the eye.
And Wang Hao, who was sound asleep, did not know all of this was happening, and was still sleeping.
