After arriving at the private room, most of the friends had already arrived.
Except for Ma Yuchen, who hadn't come, there were a total of 11 people.
"Here we are, why hasn't President Ma arrived yet?"
"President Ma's business has been growing bigger and bigger, he's even moved up to a Mercedes-Benz S-Class."
"Don't worry, he should be here soon."
"President Zhao, I heard that an 18-year-old boy in your daughter's class confessed his affection for you, is that true?"
Luo Yuxin chimed in, "Of course it's true. Our beautiful Zhao's charm is only increasing. At 41, she can still attract 18-year-old boys! Old Xu, you're finished, the competition is just getting fiercer."
Even though Zhao Lihua was already 41, she was indeed very beautiful.
Like Luo Yuxin, she had many admirers even in her middle age.
Some of them were even willing to give up their current families just to be with her.
After all, it's not easy to find such a stunning mature woman.
Xu Hongwei just smiled.
"The kid doesn't know any better, President Zhao, don't take it to heart."
"Everyone has a bit of a teenage fantasy when they're young, once his enthusiasm wanes, it'll be nothing."
Tang Zixuan sat down and poured himself a glass of Sprite.
"I think that Chen Haoran is just a pervert, a loser, he's got an infatuation and that's why he confessed to Aunt Zhao."
"Utterly worthless."
Young people tend to talk impulsively and without restraint.
"Zixuan, you can't talk about your classmate like that!"
After being scolded by Luo Yuxin, Tang Zixuan immediately shut up.
In his heart, he was still quite afraid of his beautiful mother, owing to the authority she had established since his childhood.
"Actually, maybe everyone has their own fantasies when they're young, but there really aren't many who would like an older woman and even take the initiative to confess, that does take some courage."
Zhang Yiwen felt uncomfortable upon hearing this.
Now, every time she heard anything about Chen Haoran, she would think of him confessing his feelings to her mother.
Zhao Lihua didn't say anything; her impression of Chen Haoran had already deteriorated significantly, she was certain this boy just wanted to sleep with her.
Today's despicable tactics really made it impossible for her to like Chen Haoran.
Although, deep down, she still felt pity for Chen Haoran.
...
Outside the door, the weather was hot. Chen Haoran had waited a long time and still hadn't seen Ma Yuchen come.
"Is President Ma coming or not? My fifty thousand."
The day was gradually darkening, but even in the evening of July, the heat was somewhat unbearable.
After waiting another fifteen minutes or so, Chen Haoran was getting impatient.
He suspected there might be a back door, and if President Ma had gone to private room 999 through it, he would really be at a loss.
Then, he took the elevator directly to the third floor, room 999.
When he pushed the door open, the expressions on the faces of the 11 people in the room looking at Chen Haoran were somewhat strange.
Most of them didn't know Chen Haoran.
Zhao Lihua's look at Chen Haoran was already tinged with disgust; indeed, this kid had come for her.
And to think he did some project, computer programming, what could an 18-year-old high school student know about computer programming?
"How did you get here..."
Just as Tang Zixuan was about to send Chen Haoran away, he was tapped on the shoulder by Luo Yuxin.
Startled, he immediately closed his mouth.
"The person I'm waiting for hasn't arrived, so I came to see if President Ma was here."
Zhao Lihua's expression grew increasingly unpleasant; this kid really was too naive.
When Xu Hongwei saw Chen Haoran, the wariness in his heart also vanished.
If it was an unusually handsome young man, she might really have to consider whether Zhao Lihua could restrain herself and not end up sleeping with him.
But this young fellow could only be considered a bit good-looking, an ordinary person.
There was nothing about him that could move Zhao Lihua.
"Alright, alright, it's so hot, and it just happens to be dinner time, sit down and eat something."
"Chen Haoran."
"There are quite a few empty seats here, you see who you want to sit with?"
Luo Yuxin said teasingly to the young man.
She quite admired him, for after all, having the courage to confess to a classmate's mother in front of the entire class was a first for him.
Chen Haoran didn't speak, and sat down next to Zhao Lihua.
"I want to sit with Aunt Zhao."
Chen Haoran wasn't being pretentious either; he didn't know the other people.
As for Tang Zixuan, they were at odds, practically enemies.
Not to mention Zhang Yiwen.
"Haha, I knew it, you kid, still want to sit with your favorite aunt. Have a good chat with your aunt and try to win her over as soon as possible. Such a great figure, always without a partner, is such a waste."
Xu Hongwei's face looked a bit displeased; this woman and he were quite familiar with each other, but she had never helped him like this.
But then he thought about how he was a man in his forties, and surely he couldn't be petty with a child.
If he did, then maybe Zhao Lihua would really look down on him.
After Chen Haoran sat down beside her, Zhao Lihua felt an unwillingness to talk to Chen Haoran.
This must be his ultimate goal, taking the opportunity to get close to her, childish, wasn't it?
"Aunt Zhao, what a coincidence today, I didn't expect to run into you while I was here to collect money."
Chen Haoran was indeed a bit hungry, he picked up a pair of new chopsticks and ate a few bites.
The more he looked at Tang Zixuan's mother, the more beautiful she seemed, that kind of voluptuous figure was absolutely what true connoisseurs dream of.
In his past life, how had he not noticed that his classmates' mothers were all so beautiful?
"Yeah, quite a coincidence."
Zhao Lihua felt that she could delete Chen Haoran's QQ now, this kid was really not simple at all.
Hearing Zhao Lihua's somewhat indifferent voice, Chen Haoran felt inexplicably sad.
Did Aunt Zhao start to dislike him?
His expression did not escape Zhao Lihua's eyes, but her heart felt even more annoyed.
This kid, always pretending to be pitiful, playing such childish tricks, wasn't it just to vent his hormones on her?
What he has in mind is a little too much for his expectations.
At that moment, Ma Yuchen walked in from outside.
Everyone greeted him enthusiastically, "Boss Ma! You're finally here, we've been waiting for you for so long!"
"Boss Ma, is that your S-Class downstairs? It's way cooler than our 56E, clearly longer by a stretch."
Ma Yuchen greeted everyone with a smile as well.
Then he said to Chen Haoran, "Young man, here's your fifty thousand yuan, take it."
Ma Yuchen took out two thick envelopes.
Inside were crammed full of hundred-yuan bills.
This left Chen Haoran somewhat speechless; even in the year 2010, cash was particularly popular.
He had all his online banking sorted out, yet he was given fifty thousand in cash.
Upon hearing this, the crowd looked at Ma Yuchen with some surprise.
"Boss Ma, do you know this young man?"
"Of course, I don't mind telling you all, this young man named Chen Haoran, though he's young at 18, is a genuine prodigy."
"If it weren't for him, my company would have been in big trouble."
