Chapter 75 – The boss is very good with WeChat (3)
Manager Yang didn’t seem excited at all when he heard that. Instead, he countered, “You said the same thing when you first joined. I have been waiting for a whole month already. So this meal would happen something next year?”
Yan Shuyu, “…..”
She might have forgotten about that one.
She immediately patted her chest and said with utmost sincerity, “Okay, we will combine the two meals and take you to a fancier restaurant. You pick the time, how does that sound?”
As she was poor and becoming more frugal, Yan Shuyu felt a pang of heartache as she was saying that. But then she remembered how much she had gotten from the big boss today, so it’d be fine to spend some on Manager Yang. She’d still come out ahead anyway. As she arrived at this conclusion, she felt more comfortable with her decision. Yang Zifeng, looking at her very serious expression, suddenly burst out in laughter, “I was just kidding. Did you think I was serious?”
Yan Shuyu, “…..”
“Hey, change of subject,” said Yang Zifeng with a serious look.
Yan Shuyu had no choice but to put away her distress and listen to him, “What’s up?”
“I was going to bring Yuanbao home to play with my niece in the afternoon, but as it turned out, Instructor Lin had another engagement this weekend, so she moved her session today instead. So, Yuanbao also sat in during the session. Instructor Lin told me afterwards that she was about to start a musical store plus a training center with a few of her fellow schoolmates, and she desired to train Yuanbao up to be their star student, free of charge. They will also work on signing him up for all sorts of competitions as well, and wanted me to ask you if you might be interested in that.”
“Star student?” Yan Shuyu’s eyes beamed. She knew that sooner or later her instant son would help her rise above her current situation; she just didn’t think the opportunity could come so quickly. Happily, she asked, “So he’d be like their spokesperson?”
Yang Zifeng was well aware of her money-loving personality, so he smiled and said, “Something like that. No pay, though.”
Yan Shuyu was, indeed, a little disappointed when she found out there was no money attached, but she recovered quickly, “That’s fine. Didn’t you also say they’d sign Yuanbao up to all kinds of competitions? Does that mean they’d pay the fees to join the competition, but we get to keep the prize winning?”
“You have it all figured out, huh?” Yang Zifeng found that amusing but he nodded and said, “There’s room for negotiations there. That means you are interested, right?”
Yan Shuyu looked so eager that she wished she could say yes right away, but she still turned and consulted the actual person who’d be carrying out the deed, “Would you like to learn how to play the piano and participate in competitions in the future?”
Little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao’s eyes glittered just like his own mother’s and, without hesitation, he nodded and said, “Yes!”
“You better be sure about that? It’s not a small feat learning to play the piano like that. You will still be going to school and have to make sure that you don’t fall behind academically. You will be practicing playing the piano when other children are out there having fun. You sure you want to do it?”
