Chapter 203 – 201: Brotherhood

“Honey! I’m stepping out! I might be back late, so rember to leave the door unlocked for !”

Zheng Shou stood at the entrance, slipping on his shoes while shouting into the house.

“You’re not going out to drink with your good-for-nothing friends again, are you?”

A slim woman with a seaweed facial mask on her face stepped out of the bathroom.

“No, no, no, I’m heading out for a business deal! Rember I told you our departnt was brought back to life because of a particular company?”

“I’m going to have a business eting with their boss tonight!”

Zheng Shou finished putting on his shoes, stamped his feet, and cheerfully explained to his wife.

“Alright then, go on~ drive safely!”

The woman nodded helplessly.

It had been a long ti since she had seen her husband work so hard.

Since he ca back half a month ago, he had been staying at the company until seven or eight in the evening every day.

Normally, he would have been back by five o’clock.

But she was happy too; who wouldn’t want their man to work hard?

“Okay, my dear wife, then I’m off!” Zheng Shou’s heart ward, and then he closed the door.

Once in the basent, Zheng Shou sat in his car and took a deep breath.

Truth be told, he had always felt the pressure; he was now thirty-seven years old and in the internet industry, he was considered an older employee.

Facing the crisis of midlife unemploynt.

In reality, with his position as the Manager of Mobile Ga Operations and as a senior executive of the company, it should be unlikely for him to be let go.

But the problem lay with his departnt.

Since he was transferred to the Mobile Ga Operations Departnt, the entire departnt was already in decline, and despite his efforts over a long ti, there had been no improvent.

They just had to muddle along with the rest of the struggling departnt.

But the consequence of diocrity is often elimination, which is common in internet companies.

Companies like Tencent and Huawei have systems in place to weed out the bottom perforrs.

Shengda is no exception.

Especially since Shengda had been performing poorly in recent years, to reduce personnel costs, the pace of employee turnover was even faster than at other companies.

If it weren’t for Zheng Shou’s relatively high position, he probably would have been eliminated by Shengda long ago.

Even so, if he couldn’t produce so results, he estimated he would be forced out of Shengda by the ti he was under forty.

Perhaps Shengda would rember his years of service and offer him a generous severance package, but that was not what he wanted.

He was a veteran at Shengda, having witnessed the company’s rise and fall, and he hoped to stay with Shengda all the way.

In the past, he thought this would be a difficult feat, but now, with the ergence of Gu Yu and Ideal Paradise, he was filled with great hope!

Just last week, at Shengda Ga’s full departntal eting, his Mobile Ga Operations Departnt was awarded for its outstanding performance from the previous month.

The entire departnt was revitalized, and all employees were filled with enthusiasm.

Zheng Shou felt like he was back at twenty-five, when he first joined Shengda, his passion rekindled.

If possible, he wanted to re-establish the Shengda Mobile Ga Platform as the number one mobile ga publishing platform in the country!

“Charge!”

Zheng Shou, as excited as a twenty-year-old, pressed his foot on the accelerator, and the car roared out of the garage.

Twenty minutes later, Zheng Shou arrived at Linlang Restaurant’s entrance.

“Good evening, sir, do you have a reservation?”

He was stopped by the service staff at the door, and Zheng Shou was stunned.

“I’m here at the invitation of Mr. Gu, Gu Yu.”

Zheng Shou was about to make a call for Gu Yu to co out and et him but decided to ntion Gu Yu’s na instead after a mont of hesitation.

No sooner had he spoken than the staff nodded.

“Understood! Please follow , Mr. Gu is waiting for you in private room number five!”

Thus, Zheng Shou was led by the waiter to private room number five.

Gu Yu, who had already ordered so dishes in advance, saw Zheng Shou coming over and smiled, waving him over.

“Manager Zheng! You’re here! Please, have a seat!”

Gu Yu stood up, took the initiative to walk over, and pulled out a chair for Zheng Shou.

Zheng Shou, flattered, said, “Please, you sit too, you sit too!”

He knew well of Gu Yu’s close relationship with a forr board mber of Shengda. He hadn’t expected such a humble attitude.

It made him sowhat uncomfortable.

Zheng Shou sat down, eyes glancing at the other person at the table.

It was a middle-aged man who looked slightly older than him. Despite his age, he had a distinguished air about him, clearly a boss.

Just not sure what his relationship with Gu Yu was.

Seeing the two of them laughing and chatting, it seed likely they were related, perhaps distant relatives!

From the mont he sat down, the middle-aged man had been glancing at him now and then.

Could it be that today’s request isn’t from Gu Yu but from this middle-aged man?

Zheng Shou pondered in his heart and in just a mont, he had listed all the possibilities and thought of corresponding communication strategies.

Being able to hold the manager position at Shengda, he must certainly be capable in understanding people and handling relationships.

“Manager Zheng, calling you out so late, I’ve truly disturbed you!”

“Let punish myself with a drink!”

Gu Yu didn’t hesitate. Seeing Zheng Shou sit down, he poured himself a glass of beer and downed it in one go.

Zheng Shou hurriedly poured himself a glass too, then raised it to toast Gu Yu, “Mr. Gu is really too kind! In recent tis, I’ve been relying on your support to prosper; it should be toasting you!”

Continue your adventure at empire

With that, Zheng Shou also downed his drink in one gulp.

Watching the two drink, Lin Muqing’s eyes flickered with surprise.

He had originally thought that Gu Yu and Zheng Shou had a deep business cooperation or were friends.

But now it seed that Zheng Shou’s attitude was far more deferential than Gu Yu’s!

The true extent of Gu Yu’s backing was indeed intriguing.

But he also knew that now wasn’t the ti to ponder over this. The most important thing was to solve the company’s issues with Gu Yu’s help.

“Manager Zheng, I’ve long admired your reputation! I also toast you a glass!”

Lin Muqing picked up his glass and greeted Zheng Shou with a beaming smile.

“And you are?”

Zheng Shou looked puzzled, his gaze questioning as he turned towards Gu Yu.

Gu Yu grinned, “This is my father-in-law!”

As he said this, Gu Yu glanced at Lin Muqing, worried he might not accept the change in how he was addressed.

But, as it turned out, he worried needlessly; upon being called father-in-law, Lin Muqing’s smile deepened.

“Ho! To be Mr. Gu’s father-in-law, I’m truly honored!”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Shou quickly stood and clinked glasses with Lin Muqing.

“It’s all thanks to my future son-in-law’s blessings that I get to et such an important person today!”

“You flatter ; I’m really not that important, just a nobody!”

“Please, enjoy the dishes!”

“You too! I’ve carefully selected these dishes!”

“Is that so? Then I must try more!”

The two n engaged in toasting and drinking.

Gu Yu sat on the side, quietly observing. His role now was rely as Lin Muqing’s guide.

Today’s main players were his father-in-law and Zheng Shou.

Watching the two go back and forth, Gu Yu actually felt a bit of a headache coming on.

This was the culture of the dining table: eat and drink first, and when the mood was right, they’d get to the main topic.

He disliked it, but there was no helping it!

It was the norm, almost unavoidable!
