Chapter 61

""Hello Boss, Hello Madam"

Translated by RHope

It is indeed what the overbearing president said. Du Youwei gave Zhang Shaoyan a 666  in her heart.

[666 : to describe someone or something as powerful and convincing.]

During the meal, Zhang Shaoyan mentioned the matter of asking Du Youwei to move in with him: “Last time you said that your parents asked you to move after the New Year, and now the New Year will be over in a blink of an eye.”

His words stopped short, and Du Youwei coughed at his sentence: “After the new year is over, my birthday is not far away. What my mother means is that after my birthday is over…” 

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Shaoyan glanced over. Du Youwei closed her mouth and ate her food in silence. Zhang Shaoyan looked at her for a while, then asked her: “”Is it your mother’s intention or yours?”

Du Youwei answered carefully, “It’s my mother’s idea, but I think she has a good point.”

Zhang Shaoyin picked up his chopsticks and ate a piece of tofu in the bowl, wiping the corner of his mouth with a tissue: “If you don’t want to move in early, you can tell me directly, no need to make these excuses.”

“Uh, I don’t mean I don’t want to move in either ……”

“Then what exactly do you mean?”

“……” she just- it’s confusing ah!

Zhang Shaoyan pondered a little, and put some dishes into Du Youwei’s bowl: “I’ll wait for you until your birthday, if you still don’t want to move in after your birthday, you don’t have to force yourself, you can move after we get married.”

“Oh, good… ” He is so reasonable, but it makes her look particularly pretentious.

“I’m not sure if I want to move in or not!” Du Youwei emphasized again.

Zhang Shaoyan laughed, he wanted her to move in before they get married, it was because he was impatient. He looked at Du Youwei, and talked to her about something else: “When the sky comes out on your birthday, I’ll take you to a place.”

Du Youwei was curious: “Where?”

“I’ve mentioned it to you before, you will know exactly when you go.”

Du Youwei thought about it, it seems he did mention to her before that he was going to take her to a place. She asked him where it was, and he said it was a secret.

“Okay then, do you need to prepare anything?”

Zhang Shaoyan looked at her, with a gentle arc on his lips: “It’s been a long time since I took you out by myself.”

Du Youwei was dazed for a moment by his smile, Zhang Shaoyan was always extra gentle and patient with her, as if he had used all the tenderness and patience of his life on her.

The corners of her mouth also involuntarily curled up and happily responded.

Du Youwei’s birthday is on March 3rd, and she asked Wei Rui out in advance to celebrate her birthday. Feng Wanying is still locked up by her mother and was not allowed to go out, so she couldn’t come to Du Youwei’s birthday, but the gift was sent to her.

In the past two days, Du Youwei received a lot of gifts. Apart from friends and family, what surprised Du Youwei the most was that the little artists in the company even prepared gifts for her. The gift was given by five people together, a brand-name leather bag, implying Du Youwei to be richer.

Du Youwei is very satisfied.

Gu Shi also prepared a separate gift for her. He works a lot now and earns a lot of money. The gift he gave was more expensive than what those five put together.

After receiving so many presents, Du Youwei was in a very good mood. How much she wished that every day was her birthday, 365 days a year.

Wei Rui: I suggest you go to bed early, because you can have everything in your dreams.

You Weiwei: [rolled eyes]

But she really has to go to bed early today. Tomorrow is March 3rd, Zhang Shaoyan has promised to meet her early in the morning.

You Weiwei: Tomorrow, I’m having a date with Zhang Shaoyan, I’m going to have my beauty sleep now. [happy.jpg]

Wei Rui: [rolled eyes]

The next morning, Zhang Shaoyan called and urged her to wake up. Du Youwei was excited for a long time last night, and kept guessing where Zhang Shaoyan was going to take her today, so instead she fell asleep even later than usual.

Luckily, her skin was in good shape today, and the slight dark circles under her eyes could be covered with foundation.

She quickly got up, washed her hair, and did a simple styling, and Zhang Shaoyan’s car drove up to her door.

“Youwei, don’t you want to have breakfast first?” Jiang Manlin sat at the dining table, saw Du Youwei carrying her bag and was ready to go out.

“No, it’s too late.” Du Youwei’s steps were so fast that she passed through the living room in a flash.

“Have a glass of milk before leaving. Hurry up.”

Du Youwei glanced back, trotted to the dining table, and drank the milk with a gulp. The housekeeper brought over a packed box and handed it to Du Youwei: “Miss, there are some cookies and snacks inside, you can take them with you on the road.” 

“Wow, thanks.” Du Youwei happily took the snacks, said goodbye to her mother, and stomped to the door, changed her shoes and went out.

Seeing Du Youwei coming out, Gao Ye got out of the car and opened the door for her. Du Youwei thanked him, while getting into the car: “Zhang Shaoyan, good morning.”

“Good morning.” Zhang Shaoyan’s voice unconsciously carried a smile, he glanced at the box in Du Youwei’s hand, and asked her , “What is this?”

“The housekeeper prepared breakfast for me, do you want to eat it?” Du Youwei said as she carefully opened the box in her hand, which was neatly arranged with all kinds of cookies and puffs.

Zhang Shaoyan had already eaten breakfast before he left home, but when he saw the puffs in the box, he changed his mind: “I can try them.”

Du Youwei asked him, “What do you want?”

“Puffs.”

He picked a matcha flavor and put it to his mouth and took a bite. The outer crust of the puff was baked crispy, and the cream inside was very delicate with just the right amount of sweetness.

“There is really a difference between the apprentice’s and master’s craftsmanship.”

Du Youwei, who was eating the cookie, heard the meaning of his words and flattened her mouth, “Oh, then why didn’t you say you did not like it?”

Zhang Shaoyan smiled and said, “Because the person who made it deserves extra points.”

Du Youwei’s face burned slightly. In order to hide her emotions, she deliberately coughed and asked Zhang Shaoyan: “Where are we going today?”

Finally, Zhang Shaoyan didn’t keep it a secret, and revealed some information to her: “Our company and the government jointly developed a tourism project, now two-thirds of the project is completed, and will soon be trial operation.”

“Wow, where is it?”

“Star City.”

“Star City? The name sounds so romantic.”

Zhang Shaoyan smiled and said, “Star City is a poor town under the jurisdiction of City A. Because of the good ecological conditions and the hot springs in the mountains, the government wants to develop a tourism project to help the town get out of poverty and become rich.”

“Oh, that’s how it is.” Du Youwei nodded and continued to listen to him.

“Our company finally got this project. My original idea was to develop it to the greatest extent possible without destroying the ecology.” 

Du Youwei frowned: “This sounds a bit difficult.”

“It’s really not easy, but after all these years of hard work, the results presented are not bad. You’ll know when you go there later.”

Du Youwei was even more looking forward to hearing what he said: “Is it possible to go there already?”

Zhang Shaoyan looked at her and raised his eyebrows: “We are the first visitors to this project.”

Du Youwei followed his example and raised her eyebrows lightly: “Wow, that sounds cool. We are going to be here only today?”

“Well, one day and one night, staying at the hot spring hotel over there tonight.”

“Oh oh oh!” Du Youwei got excited, “I want to soak in the hot springs!”

Zhang Shaoyan was amused by her, soaking in a hot spring can make her excited as a child: “The hotel’s hot springs are in the mountains, open air, so you can soak until you’re satisfied.”

“Sounds great!!” Du Youwei wished to fly over immediately, “We are going to have the mountain for ourselves?”

Zhang Shaoyan laughed again, and nodded: “Yes.”

Du Youwei has a very peaceful and wealthy heart. Being a boss is really great.

Star City is a three-hour drive from downtown ​​City A. After the car stopped, Du Youwei couldn’t wait to get out of the car. Although Zhang Shaoyan said that only two-thirds of it has been completed, in Du Youwei’s view, the construction here has been very well built.

“The main focus of Star City is the hot springs, but now there are endless hot springs in China. If hot springs are the only selling point, it will be difficult to stand out from the competition with other similar attractions. That’s why I want to preserve the natural scenery here as much as possible and make these views along the road a highlight as well.”  

Star City is a small town built on the mountain. After Zhang Shaoyan and Du Youwei got off the car, they led her to a station on the mountain: “In addition to the traditional cable car, there are also buses and trains here. You can go boating in the lake too. We have also raised some goose for viewing.”     

Du Youwei listened to Zhang Shaoyan, and the two walked to the train platform. The train was cleaned very well and the staff looked refreshed in their neat uniforms.     

“Hello boss, hello madam.” The staff greeted Zhang Shaoyan and Du Youwei in unison.     

Du Youwei felt embarrassed all of a sudden, Zhang Shaoyan led her into the carriage with a smile, and sat down in the front row: “These are the all residents of the town, and after the unified training of our company, they will officially start their jobs. ”     

“Oh…” Du Youwei nodded, no wonder they called him boss. 

Once they were done, the train started to move slowly. The carriages were not long and the speed was not fast, but the scenery in front of them slowly unfolded.

“This section of the road is the one with the best scenery that we have selected, and we have also focused on improving it here. The flowers on both sides will change with the seasons to ensure that visitors who come here at any time of year will be able to enjoy the view.”

“Wow, that sounds great!” Du Youwei and Zhang Shaoyan were sitting in the first row at the front of the train, which had the best view. The train moved forward slowly, as if taking them into a picture scroll.

It didn’t take long for the train to arrive at the terminal station. Although the journey was not long, she didn’t know how much money was spent on the development and maintenance of the scenery of that section of the road just now.

When you get off the train, you can see a lake surrounded by mountains. The water is so blue that it seems to merge with the sky, seagulls are flying on the lake, and a bird that Du Youwei can’t name is resting on the shore.

“There is a local specialty store in front. In addition to the scenery, we have also developed local delicacies. Want to try it?”

“Yes!”

Zhang Shaoyan took her to the specialty store, which was very large, and the outside was repaired in a simple and unpretentious way in order to maintain a consistent style with the environment, but the inside was as glittering as the Starlight Department Store.

The clerk in the store is also a resident of the town. Seeing Zhang Shaoyan walk in, he greeted spontaneously: “Hello boss, hello madam.”

Du Youwei calmly put on the airs of a madam, and nodded to them with a smile.

Zhang Shaoyan called two little girls who looked like shopping guides, and said to Du Youwei, “There are a lot of things in here, let them introduce them to you. If you like them, you can take them back.”

Du Youwei blinked excitedly: “I can take whatever I like?”

“Take whatever you want.”

…How can there be such a good thing in this world!

Du Youwei looked at the shopping guide in the store with a smile: “Just start with the most expensive ones for me.”

As the saying goes, One side of water and soil supports one side of people [People in different regions have different ideas and cultural characteristics due to different environments, different ways of living, and different geographical climates.]. The water quality and soil quality of Star City not only taste good, but it is said that eating it can also delay aging. The shopping guide introduced her to several pastries made with local fruits and rice, and introduced her to several facial masks.

“Our people here, both men and women, are very ageless, just because of the good soil and water quality here. These face masks are made with local water and minerals as raw materials, you can try them if you like.”

Du Youwei felt that Zhang Shaoyan was too powerful, he said he had developed the food, but in fact they had developed much more than just the food.

“Is it true that all of you people here don’t look old?” Du Youwei, a delicate girl in the city, was particularly concerned about this question.

The shopping guide looked at her with a smile: “Yes, otherwise, guess how old I am?”

Du Youwei said, “You are about my age, you should be in your early twenties.”

The shopping guide snickered and covered her mouth: “I’m thirty-five this year, and my son has already entered junior high school.”

Du Youwei: “!!!!” The worrd is real. 

“Then, can I have all these masks?” 

The shopping guide glanced at Zhang Shaoyan, and he nodded. The shopping guide went to find a shopping bag for Du Youwei: “Wait a minute, I’ll wrap it up for you.”

Her action is very nimble, one by one, the mask got packed very neatly. Du Youwei took the shopping bag over, still a little guilty; “I really do not have to pay?”

Zhang Shaoyan curled the corner of his mouth silently, and asked her, “Is there anything else you want?”

“No more.”

“Then let’s go.” He took Du Youwei’s hand, asked Gao Ye to help her carry her things, and walked out of the store.

Leaving the specialty store, ahead was the lake where you could take a cable car to the mountain. Du Youwei thought the cable car was for going up the mountain, but she didn’t expect it to go straight down: “Aren’t we going up to the top?”

“No.” Zhang Shaoyan said, “There are many famous mountains in China and there are many options if you want to climb them. Our specialty here is not climbing mountains.”

Du Youwei nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.

After descending the mountain, they saw rows of neatly arranged bicycles. Du Youwei already knew the answers to his question, and raised her hand actively: “Is the bicycle used to go around the lake?”

“Smart.” Zhang Shaoyan smiled at her and asked her, “Do you want to ride around the lake or go boating?”

“Hmm…I want to take pictures!” There were many birds poised by the lake, and Du Youwei eagerly took out her mobile phone, “This place is really beautiful.”

As Zhang Shaoyan said, this place has been thoroughly developed, yet retains the natural scenery to the greatest extent

After playing by the lake until one o’clock, Du Youwei finally went to eat with Zhang Shaoyan amidst the growling of her stomach. The restaurants here are also run by people from the town, and they sell local home-cooked dishes. Although the presentation is not as gorgeous and exquisite as Tianxiaju, the taste is not bad.

The point is, now Du Youwei feels that eating here will make her look younger by one year.

How nice.

“Those outside who say that you are a cold-blooded capitalist and a tyrant should come here to have a look. How many people have been employed by this project, how many people have been lifted out of poverty and become rich!” Zhang Shaoyan’s image in Du Youwei’s heart at the moment is particularly noble. This is what an entrepreneur who takes up social responsibility should look like!

Zhang Shaoyan said unperturbed: “I also see the potential of this place, in order to make money.”

“…Oh.”   A capitalist will always be a capitalist.

In the afternoon, it began to rain lightly in the mountains. Du Youwei and Zhang Shaoyan didn’t continue shopping, but went directly to the hot spring hotel in the mountains by car. The hotel is beautifully built, with a bit of an ancient charm, and the interior is also elegantly decorated, and there is even a tea room dedicated to drinking tea.

The hotel was also invested and repaired by Zhang Shaoyan, according to the standard of a five-star hotel. Most of them are local residents who have been trained, and there are also executives poached from other hotels.

“Hello Boss, Hello Madam.”

The hotel staff in Chinese uniforms greeted Zhang Shaoyan and Du Youwei in unison. After being greeted several times before, Du Youwei can now calmly face this address.

“There are many different patterns of rooms here and different styles of hot springs, so you can pick and choose.”

After Zhang Shaoyan finished speaking, a waiter came over with a tablet computer and showed Du Youwei the pictures. Du Youwei chose the room and hot spring she liked, and then handed the tablet to Zhang Shaoyan.

hang Shaoyan glanced down and didn’t bother to take it: “I don’t need it.”

“Why?”

“Because we are together.”

“…” Du Youwei was silent for five seconds, the room can be shared, but the hot spring… do they have to soak together too!?

The hot springs in Star City are all natural hot springs, and they are independent small hot springs. In other words, you can take off your clothes and soak comfortably.

Seeing that her expression changed a few times, Zhang Shaoyan looked at her jokingly: “The hot spring is timed, and it takes about half an hour to soak. After you finish soaking, I will go soak again.”

Du Youwei’s face changed again before she squeezed out a smile at him, “Oh.”

“Or, you can take a bath with me if you want. Although the hot spring is not big, two people can still squeeze together.” “

“…No, I don’t want to.”
