The place Yang Chen recomnded to Chen Bo was the Rose Bar opened by Rose. This bar has always been in the middle class. It's not that Rose didn't want to expand; it's just that the scale of this bar was left by Rose's mother. So, according to her wishes, maintaining this bar is more aningful than just doing business with it.
After they dropped Chen Rong's luggage at the small apartnt where Chen Bo lived, the three of them quickly went to the Rose Bar after having a simple al at a small restaurant.
The bar was very quiet during the day, except for the waiters, there were no custors at all, which was suitable for Yang Chen to take the siblings inside.
After Chen Bo noticed that it was a bar, he asked with so concern, "Yang Chen, this street is quite chaotic at night. I'm a bit worried."
"I've already thought about this issue for you. I'm very familiar with the owner here and can arrange for soone to escort Xiao Rong back at night."
Chen Bo stopped asking more questions. After entering the bar, he looked around and nodded approvingly at the tasteful decorations, indicating that this kind of bar seed quite formal.
Xiao Zhao, who was wearing a waiter's uniform behind the bar, brightened up when he saw Yang Chen enter. He grinned and said, "Yang Ge, how co you're free to co during the day? And you brought friends?"
Yang Chen greeted several waiters in the bar and said, "Is Rose in? I've brought soone here to recomnd for a job."
"The boss just woke up from her nap. Let go call her," Xiao Zhao said cheerfully and then ran inside.
Since Rose's private residence was not open to the public, Yang Chen chose to wait outside with the Chen siblings for Rose to co out.
Before long, Rose, dressed in a long white dress, walked out gracefully. Her flawless face, without makeup, appeared enchanting in the dim light. Her graceful figure, complented by her mature temperant, looked stunning.
Chen Bo and Chen Rong were both a little stunned as they watched Rose walk towards them with a smile. They had never expected the owner of this bar to be such a beautiful young woman.
"Yang Chen, who did you recomnd to ?" With an outsider present, Rose cleverly called out Yang Chen's na, appearing dignified yet humble.
Yang Chen gestured towards Chen Rong and said, "This is my friend and his sister. They just arrived from Sichuan Province. There were so family issues, so he dropped out of college to co to Zhonghai to work and earn so money to repay debts. I thought your place would be suitable for them. With supervision, they can also feel reassured."
Rose quickly understood Yang Chen's implication and began to carefully assess Chen Rong.
Seeing Rose, who exuded a goddess-like aura, smiling and looking at her, Chen Rong couldn't help but blush and feel her heart race, lowering her head and dare not et Rose's gaze.
"What's your na?" Rose asked gently, half-bent like an older sister talking to her younger sister.
"I'm Chen Rong, Rong as in 'lotus seed paste'..." Chen Rong answered, pursing her lips.
Rose chuckled lightly, "Don't be nervous, just listen to . Although you were recomnded by Yang Chen, I can only start you off with the most basic tasks - carrying dishes, cleaning, and these jobs can be very tiring and dirty. You might even get scolded by custors when they're in a bad mood. Are you willing?"
"I am willing. I've been taking care of my parents at ho, and I've done these tasks before. I've also worked at so Western fast food restaurants," Chen Rong replied eagerly.
With a aningful smile, Rose suddenly reached out and touched Chen Rong's cheek, "Then work here from now on. I'll have Xiao Zhao and the others help and teach you. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell . Don't be polite. I won't let my employees be bullied."
"Okay!" Tears shimred in Chen Rong's eyes as she smiled innocently.
While Xiao Zhao took Chen Rong to sign the contract and complete the procedures, Chen Bo, who hadn't dared to speak much in front of Rose, suddenly said, "Thank you. I know Yang Chen is a good person, and you're Yang Chen's friend, so I trust you. I entrust my sister to your care!"
Rose couldn't help but smile and sigh as she supported him with one hand, "Your sister is as pure and lovely as a spring in the mountains. In today's society, such innocence is rare. To be honest, I've always lacked such a good girl to be my assistant. If your sister is willing, I'd really like to keep her by my side in the future and teach her so things firsthand. I'm just afraid you, as her brother, might object." Hearing this, Yang Chen was surprised and looked at Rose with so astonishnt. He hadn't expected Rose to have the idea of taking on an apprentice, hence her complex gaze towards Chen Rong. But the thought of the kind-hearted Chen Rong being taught by a big sister in the underworld made Yang Chen chuckle.
Chen Bo, unaware of Rose's true identity as the queen of the underworld in Zhonghai, thought that Rose ant taking Chen Rong along for business, so he happily said, "As long as Xiao Rong is willing, as her brother, I'll follow her. Boss Rose won't harm us, I trust her."
"Do you trust Yang Chen and so much?" Rose asked with a wry smile.
Chen Bo nodded earnestly, "I do. I'm poor and useless. Yang Chen cares about and helps . He doesn't look down on like others do. If I don't trust him, I'd be worse than a pig or a dog! Boss Rose is Yang Chen's friend, and I believe in the ancient saying, 'In conversation, there's the learned scholar; in companionship, there's no commoner.' Yang Chen is a great guy, so naturally, Boss Rose is trustworthy!"
Rose couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You're much more interesting than Yang Chen. You speak in a very diplomatic way... Since you said so, I'll take it as your agreent to let take care of Chen Rong. But in the future, don't accuse of acting on my own."
Blushing, Chen Bo smiled, "Of course not, of course not. Rose, Boss, don't mind saying this... Apart from the CEO of our company, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Soone like you wouldn't do anything to harm us little people... Hehe..."
"The CEO of your company?" Rose's eyes sparkled with a hint of aning as she glanced at Yang Chen, "Then he must be as beautiful as a fairy, right?"
Yang Chen felt a cold sweat forming on his forehead and dared not look directly at Rose. Chen Bo, unaware of the inner workings, expressed so admiration, saying, "Yes, I was also dumbfounded the first ti I saw her, just like seeing Boss Rose today. But everyone in our company respects her a lot, many even idolize her."
Rose nodded with a knowing smile and chatted with Chen Bo about everyday matters for a while before turning to Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, I have sothing to discuss with you privately. Are you free tonight?"
Yang Chen distinctly saw the expression on Rose's face that seed to say "you're in trouble if you don't co," and he awkwardly replied with a stiff smile, "I'm free. I'll definitely co, hehe..."
After dealing with Chen Rong's work matters, Yang Chen took the Chen siblings, who were in a good mood, back to their apartnt. Chen Bo was busy arranging Chen Rong's accommodation and didn't go to work.
With nothing to do, Yang Chen rembered his appointnt with Rose for the evening. Worried about bumping into others if he went to the hospital to see Lin Ruoxi and knowing that Li Jingjing would be busy teaching, he pondered for a mont and decided to return to the company to play so gas.
Just as he was about to set off for Yulei International, his phone rang. Initially puzzled by the caller, he furrowed his brows as he recalled who it was—Tangtang.
Answering the phone, Tangtang imdiately said cheerfully, "Uncle, where are you?"
"What's up?" Yang Chen thought it would be better to clarify first. This girl could be troubleso.
Tangtang said bluntly, "I finished my exams this afternoon and have nothing to do, so I decided to treat you to dinner. You promised last ti, you're not allowed to refuse."
Yang Chen rembered this arrangent and rubbed his stomach, "I'm not hungry now, how about later?"
"No way! Uncle, why are you so stingy? Do you have to be treated to dinner before you'll accompany ? I'm so bored alone on the street right now, just co and play with . Let's go to dinner in two hours." Tangtang pleaded.
Yang Chen found it difficult to refuse when the girl acted cute. He hesitated and suggested, "Why don't you go ho? Don't your parents care about you?"
"Humph, they're too busy to bother with their unloved child like , busy as can be every day."
"What about your classmates?"
"They're all little brats, so immature... Uncle, please co..."
Tangtang seed to have caught Yang Chen's weakness and insisted persistently.
Yang Chen felt greatly distressed. What a poor child, without a father's love or a mother's care, just like himself when he was young, wasn't it? Despite driving a Porsche, her young heart seed genuinely lonely.
"Alright, where are you? I'll co pick you up." Yang Chen thought there was nothing wrong with accompanying the girl, even though their etings usually didn't end well.
"Greetings from the intersection of Central Street and Fourteenth Street, right at the crossroads! Hurry, Uncle! I'm wearing a pink miniskirt!" With giggles and laughter, Tangtang hung up the phone.
Yang Chen sighed helplessly. "This little girl, even if she's stripped naked, there's nothing to see," he muttered to himself, but he stepped on the gas nonetheless...
In less than fifteen minutes, Yang Chen saw Tangtang dressed in a cute pink outfit at the street corner. The girl wore a sun hat, her smiling face pure and lovely. It was hard to imagine that the little girl he had t in the night could be so endearing.
After Tangtang got in the car, Yang Chen couldn't help but praise, "You look great in this outfit, much prettier than your previous one."
Pouting, Tangtang retorted, "That's called fashion. But Uncle, you wouldn't understand. Anyway, I'll just pretend to be a pure little sister in front of you from now on."
"We have a generation gap," Yang Chen grumbled, then asked, "Where are we going?"
"To the Zhonghai Cinema, to watch a movie!" Tangtang blurted out.
"You've already made plans?" Yang Chen felt like he fell into a trap. "Are you trying to play tricks on again?"
Biting her white teeth, Tangtang angrily took out two movie tickets from her white LV purse. "These are the movie tickets the school issued. It's a patriotic movie. I don't think it should go to waste, and I have nothing else to do, so I decided to go watch it. Uncle, do you think this is harming you?"
"This movie is good," Yang Chen said as he saw the image of national warriors on the tickets. "I like watching movies about the history of the sumr."
"Why?" Tangtang asked puzzledly.
"Because I don't know these stories," Yang Chen said matter-of-factly. "Understanding the history of one's own country enables one to love their country better. Your school's approach is correct."
Tangtang rolled her eyes. "It's all old-fashioned stuff. Besides, each person has two tickets, but I'm the only lonely child in the class going. And I have to go with a creepy old man."
"We can just sit separately inside. You watch yours, I'll watch mine," Yang Chen said casually as he drove.
"No way!" Tangtang suddenly blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed as she fidgeted with her hands. Her expression revealed a hint of coquettishness that didn't quite match her age as she whispered, "It's my first ti going to the movies alone with a boy. How can we sit separately..."
Yang Chen's legs almost twitched, nearly slamming the accelerator into the car in front of him!
