In this life, I will no longer be a childhood sweetheart

After the storm, the sky clears up.

The gangster's life has also returned to its former glory.

In the blink of an eye, it was three months.

Shangdu, capital of Central Plains Province.

An office building in the city center, New Century Central Plains District Branch.

"Our Zhongyuan District currently has a direct store coverage rate of 85% in all towns in the district. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Everyone has worked hard!"

"However, we can't stop yet. We must strive to complete 100% coverage of the entire district by March next year!"

"In addition, we cannot just pursue quantity and build stores to complete tasks. The service quality of each store must keep up. Make sure that every new employee is systematically cultivated. It is better to lack than to overwhelm!"

"After all, service is the foundation and top priority of our new century!"

In the conference room, Liu Wanyin was wearing a slim-fitting women's suit.

The enunciation is clear, cadenced and resounding.

Her expressions and postures constantly change with her tone of voice, and she is occasionally matched with casual and appropriate body language, giving her a confident and capable temperament.

Being entrusted with the important task of being the person in charge of Zhongyuan District is both an opportunity and a big challenge for Liu Wanyin.

It is definitely not easy for such a young girl to take control of the overall situation. Just how to convince the public is a problem.

However, Liu Wanyin did it.

After all, she has been following Su Zelin in the first store of New Century since her freshman year. Over the years, she has also learned a lot from this superior.

Including bold and careful ideas for analyzing problems, vigorous and resolute work, rough and fine style, the art of speaking, and even some small habits of gestures, sometimes the shadow of a gangster can be faintly seen.

Her speech at the conference even had something called "infectious power".

Many employees below, especially the new employees who had just joined the company, looked at the young Central Plains District boss with admiration.

This is done until the end of the meeting.

"Mr. Liu is so powerful. Just a few years after graduation, he has already become the CEO of Zhongyuan District!"

"Don't be envious. Can you compare to his eloquence? What's more, Mr. Liu has built our Zhongyuan District into a demonstration district for the new century. There are only three places in the country. Who has this ability? Comparable!"

"I heard that Mr. Liu hung out with Mr. Su Zelin at the headquarters when he was in college. Mr. Su is one of the three founders of New World and is also the big boss!"

"I know, I know, there were news reports about Mr. Su before!"

"In this way, Mr. Liu is Mr. Su's apprentice, no wonder he is so powerful!"

"..."

While several new employees were talking about it, Liu Wanyin had already left the meeting room.

Her legs were straight, wearing a pair of branded high-heeled shoes. The slender heels were like delicate vines that gently wrapped around her delicate ankles. Her steps were light and the flowers were flowing through the willows.

Her red lips always carry a hint of a faint smile, but she still retains her majesty. This is the transformation of her temperament brought about by the training of the boss of Zhongyuan District.

The meeting is over and it's time to get off work.

However, Liu Wanyin walked straight to the office.

She works overtime almost every day.

In order to live up to the position of the person in charge of the Central Plains District, and to live up to the trust of that man.

As soon as I walked in the door, I saw a familiar face.

He is handsome and handsome, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking like a smile but not a smile, not too serious.

He is sitting at the tea table in his office, brewing a pot of Kung Fu tea. His techniques are skillful and sophisticated, and every movement has an indescribable and pleasing beauty.

"Boss!"

Liu Wanyin blurted out.

This uninvited guest is none other than Su Zelin.

"How did you come?"

She was surprised and delighted.

"Haha, I was invited to attend a meeting in Chang'an yesterday. Thinking that Chang'an is not far from the commercial capital, I stopped by the Central Plains Branch to have a look."

Su Zelin poured a cup of brewed Pu'er into two cups with a smile, and said to Liu Wanyin who was still in a daze: "Mr. Liu, come over for tea, let's talk while drinking!"

"Boss, please don't break me, Wanyin can't afford it!"

Liu Wanyin was flattered.

Although she is already the person in charge of the Central Plains District and the boss of everyone in the branch.

However, in front of Su Zelin, she will always be that classmate Xiaoliu.

After all, Su Zelin is the big boss of the new century, and he personally brought him up. Even his tea-making skills were taught by others.

While talking, he walked to sit opposite Su Zelin.

"Why, haven't you gotten used to the feeling of being the boss in the branch?"

Su Zelin half-joked: "As far as I know, you are well-known as a strong woman in the Central Plains Branch, and no one dissatisfies you."

Speaking of this, the gangster looked at her carefully.

Speaking of which, since Liu Wanyin took office in Zhongyuan District, the number of times the two parties have met is extremely rare. Most of the time, Xiao Liu was called back to the headquarters to report for meetings. This was the first time Su Zelin came to the Shangdu branch to see her.

Every time they meet, Liu Wanyin changes a lot.

From the way she dresses, to the way she talks, and her body language, it can be seen that she is changing rapidly.

After graduating from college, Xiaoliu no longer had social fears or low self-esteem. The training of the person in charge of Zhongyuan District turned her into a butterfly and became a confident girl.

She was used to being bare-faced and even learned how to put on makeup. She lightly painted her eyebrows and applied a little makeup. Her overall image was improved by more than 01:30. Even Su Zelin, who had watched her grow up to this day, could no longer compare her to the pitiful one she was back then. Xiaoliu classmate is connected.

Being stared at by the gangster, Liu Wanyin's pretty face was slightly dizzy and a little embarrassed, so she took a sip from her teacup to cover it up.

Only in front of Su Zelin, the female person in charge of the Central Plains District would be shy.

The bastard was relieved.

My two beloved disciples, the eldest disciple A Xi, has opened his own financial company, and his performance is getting better and better, and the tide is rising.

The second apprentice, Xiaoliu, has also become a key member of his company, keeping the Central Plains District in order.

Speaking of which, it really feels like a sense of accomplishment.

"Wanyin, when I was in college, I told you that you were a talented girl, very capable, and destined to achieve great things. I was right, haha."

The bastard looked like an old father who saw that his daughter had become successful.

"Boss, that's all thanks to your cultivation!"

Liu Wanyin quickly humbled herself.

Indeed, without Su Zelin, I would not be where I am today.

Not to mention that others gave him a chance, and he learned almost all of his skills from his boss.

Therefore, classmate Xiaoliu is always full of gratitude, love and respect for Su Zelin.

"Hey, that's because you are smart and have potential. If you want to replace it with an elm head, it will be useless no matter how hard I cultivate it!"

Seeing Liu Wanyin finish a cup of tea, Su Zelin was about to pour it for her, but the girl's skillful hands quietly snatched it away.

"Boss, let me do it."

Ever since she learned the tea art from Hunzi, Liu Wanyin also fell in love with drinking Kung Fu tea, but she didn't dare to let Su Zelin make tea for herself.

Su Zelin didn't force it, and he also wanted to see if Liu Wanyin's tea skills had improved.

Facts have also proved that Xiaoliu is indeed a good student with comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and labor skills. Her progress is not only reflected in her personal temperament and management ability, but also her tea art has been significantly improved.

"Wanyin, your skills are getting better and better. You tend to be better than the old!"

Su Zelin praised it.

Liu Wanyin's technique is already very standard. She is calm and calm, her hands are very steady, and the connection of each movement is free and easy, as if it is flowing, elegant and generous.

In fact, Kung Fu Tea techniques can often reflect a person's inner self-confidence. Those with strong hearts will not easily shake their hands. In addition, their movements will not be intermittent, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes heavy and sometimes light.

"Boss, that's too much. I will never be able to surpass you."

Liu Wanyin is self-aware.

He may not be stupid, but Su Zelin is a genius!

Making your own tea is just a matter of stability.

In addition to being stable, Su Zelin can also play as he pleases, which is even more pleasing to the eye.

His technique is simply unconstrained and eclectic, and he can perform all kinds of difficult tasks at his fingertips, just like performing acrobatics, but he can do it without leaking anything, which is amazing.

The difference... is really obvious.

Liu Wanyin felt that it was impossible for her to reach Su Zelin's level, even close to it.

Su Zelin nodded: "Indeed, compared with me, you are still a little lacking in firepower. Wanyin, do you know where the most important difference is?"

"Where is the difference?"

Liu Wanyin perked up.

She also hopes to take her tea skills to the next level.

"Basic skills!"

The bastard smiled.

"Don't forget, I practice pen-turning every day for more than ten years!"

Having said this, he raised his hand.

"You can never imagine the power of my golden finger. As long as I don't want a drop of water to leak out, then not a drop of water will leak out!"

Liu Wanyin: "..."

……

While drinking tea and chatting, not much business was discussed, so Su Zelin casually learned about the current situation of the Central Plains Branch.

In fact, Liu Wanyin's monthly reports to the headquarters are very detailed. The business development of the Central Plains branch is also very good. It was even selected as a demonstration area not long ago. The gangster also trusts his beloved disciple's personal abilities, so Don't worry about any big problems.

Unknowingly, the sky had turned dark, and Liu Wanyin remembered something.

She put down the teapot in her hand: "Ah, by the way, boss, you haven't had dinner yet. How about I treat you to a meal?"

"Okay, I also want to try the specialties from the Central Plains, so you can arrange it."

Su Zelin didn't refuse. Anyway, he had nothing else to do tonight. The most important thing when he came to Shangdu this time was to see Liu Wanyin.

"Okay, let's go then!"

After simply cleaning the tea set, the two of them walked out of the office side by side.

New Century Central Plains District Branch, Marketing Department.

It’s the beginning of the lights, but there are still people in this department working overtime.

A small team was discussing animatedly.

They are all young people in their twenties and thirties, and they are all full of energy.

At a time when the provincial branches are sprinting towards the Ten Thousand Towns Plan, the members of the Central Plains District are working hard and striving to be the leader. It is also true that the Central Plains Division is extremely fast in the implementation of the Ten Thousand Towns Plan and was rated as Demonstration Area.

Of course, efforts are directly proportional to gains.

When working in New Century, in addition to basic salary, income is also linked to performance. The headquarters has a very realistic set of incentives.

As long as you do your job well, promotion, salary increase, and generous bonuses are all a matter of course.

Nowadays, in the new century, Su Zelin is rich and powerful, and Su Zelin no longer has to make a big deal for his employees like he did back then.

Just as everyone in the marketing department was holding a lunch box and discussing enthusiastically, someone suddenly discovered something. His eyes drifted to the public passage not far away, with surprise on his face.

"Monster, what are you doing?"

The people around him noticed something strange about him and asked curiously.

"Isn't that Mr. Liu?"

The employee nicknamed Monster had a weird look on his face.

"Hi, Mr. Liu is a model worker. He works overtime almost every day. Is it strange that he is leaving now?"

Another employee disagreed, but when he subconsciously looked in that direction, his expression instantly became the same as his own.

Because Liu Wanyin was followed by someone, a tall and handsome young man.

"Damn it, who is that guy? Is Mr. Liu in love?"

"It's possible. I'm here to pick up Mr. Liu after get off work. The relationship must be extraordinary!"

"It's strange. Mr. Liu is a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. Even if he has a boyfriend, he would not be allowed to come in and out of the company casually, which would have a bad impact. Besides, there was a rich second generation who wanted to pursue her before, but Mr. Liu gave her a try. He declined politely, saying that the company was busy with business and had no plans to fall in love for the time being, so why did he turn around and fall in love with someone else?" "For one thing, I think this handsome guy is pretty good, with his little face, his figure, and his... His temperament matches Mr. Liu so well!"

"You are such a nymphomaniac. What's the use of just being good-looking? It may not have connotation. You might just be a pretty boy. Mr. Liu, please don't be deceived!"

"Hey, I think he looks a bit familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere."

"..."

There was a stir in the office instantly, and several young staff started gossiping.

If Liu Wanyin falls in love, this will definitely be big news.

The oldest employee among them, who was also the boss of the marketing department, said, "Shh, don't talk nonsense. Do you know who is Mr. Liu's companion?"

"Boss, who is he?"

Everyone turned their attention to the old employees and asked in unison.

"His name is Su Zelin!"

The tone of the old employee's voice was unconsciously more respectful.

Unlike others in the marketing department, he is one of the old employees who came from the headquarters with Liu Wanyin's team to develop the market in the Central Plains District.

Su Zelin was definitely not unfamiliar at that time, and he recognized him immediately.

"Su Zelin!"

Everyone took a breath when they heard this.

One of the founders of New Century, the big boss and director of the operations department, he is already worth tens of billions at a young age!
An absolute legend!
In addition, he was the one who single-handedly brought out his own Mr. Liu!

Everyone suddenly became excited.

"He is Mr. Su. I didn't expect to see the big boss in the Central Plains District today!"

"No wonder he looks familiar to me. I remembered that I saw him in a CTV interview!"

"Khan, I take back what I just said, Mr. Su is definitely not a pretty boy!"

"Why did Mr. Su come to see our Mr. Liu quietly? We were not notified. Could it be that they are dating?"

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Su and Mr. Liu are not only college classmates, but Mr. Su is also Mr. Liu's master!"

"..."

After a brief shock, another employee's spirit of gossip started to burn.

"Cough, cough..."

The old employee interrupted everyone's discussion with a serious look.

"You long-tongued guys, do more and talk less, especially say less things you shouldn't say!"

"Hehe, I got it, boss!"

"..."

A group of people in the marketing department were laughing and joking. At this time, Su Zelin and Liu Wanyin had arrived at the underground parking lot of the office building where the branch was located.

He was riding in a black Volkswagen Passat, which is also the standard vehicle for bosses of provincial-level regions in the new century.

Liu Wanyin was now an experienced driver, and she was very familiar with the operation. She took Su Zelin all the way to a local hotel that often received guests.

Shangdu roast duck, Yu-style Yellow River carp, fried purple crispy pork, braised tripe, and peony agarwood are all famous delicacies in the Central Plains.

Seeing that Liu Wanyin wanted to continue, Su Zelin quickly stopped her.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoliu-san, that's about right. There are only two of us, so we can't eat that much!"

The manager who ordered the dishes was extremely surprised when he heard this.

This female guest is a regular customer of her hotel, so she naturally knows about her identity.

Normally, everyone else at the dinner table would respectfully call her "Mr. Liu," but today this young man dared to call her "Classmate Xiaoliu" and looked at ease.

"It's okay, boss. It's rare for you to come to Shangdu."

Liu Wanyin smiled.

Regardless of whether it is public or private, he must entertain Su Zelin well.

For Mr. Yu, at Su Zelin's level, the specifications of a few dishes would not be excessive.

Personally speaking, Su Zelin treated himself to a lot of meals back then. Sometimes, for fear of hurting his sensitive self-esteem, he even deliberately invited the entire girls dormitory to eat.

In fact, Liu Wanyin knew very well that the main reason he did this was to improve his food, because at that time he was severely malnourished and had a sallow complexion and thin skin.

"Boss, do you want something to drink?"

Liu Wanyin asked tentatively.

She knew that Su Zelin had a good drinker and would drink a few drinks on a daily basis.

"Hey, have you developed your drinking capacity?"

Su Zelin was half joking.

Liu Wanyin didn't know how to drink in the past.

But now that I'm in this position, I have to be able to do it even if I don't know how to do it.

"You can drink a little. After all, you have to socialize occasionally."

Liu Wanyin smiled.

Sometimes, it's much easier to talk about cooperation over a wine table.

In the past, when the new century had not yet developed, a lot of business was done by Su Zelin and his guests after a few drinks. Liu Wanyin had seen a lot of this.

This wine table culture in Chinese society is difficult to avoid as long as you are in the business circle.

What's more, Liu Wanyin is from the Central Plains, and the New Century Central Plains branch is located in Shangdu, the most drinkable city among the eighteen cities in the Central Plains Province.

There is a saying in the world of martial arts: Siberian tigers and northwest wolves cannot outshine the little sheep of the Central Plains.

The little sheep of the Central Plains here refers to the people of Shangdu.

Shangdu people like to drink in a sip, no matter how big or small they drink, and they are particularly good at persuading people to drink.

If friends or guests come from out of town, they basically have to be put down, so that the host will feel that they are being treated thoughtfully.

“This hotel provides chauffeur service, so you don’t have to worry about driving.”

Liu Wanyin explained again.

Su Zelin taught her how to drive a car.

After Liu Wanyin learned it, the gangster also solemnly told her a few things, among which not to drink and drive was the most important. He even made up a few jingles.

"Don't drive when you drink, don't drink when you drive, there are thousands of roads, safety is the first priority, driving is not standardized, my loved ones will shed tears."

Seeing what she said, Su Zelin nodded: "Okay, let's drink a little. Your Du Kang from the Central Plains is very good, so this is enough!"

The Central Plains is a big liquor province, including Dukang, Yangshao, Zhang Gong, Songhe Liangye, Baofeng, Linhe Daqu...

Among them, Du Kang is the most famous.

After all, Dionysus is not called Dionysus for nothing.

Now Liu Wanyin asked the hotel manager to wear a national emblem of Dukang.

Before the food was served, I opened it and started drinking.

"Boss, I want to toast you. Thank you for taking care of me since college. Without you, there would be no Wanyin today!"

Liu Wanyin raised her cup with a grateful and sincere expression.

"Hi, Wanyin, we are classmates, friends, and colleagues. If I am not being modest, I can still be regarded as half of your master. How many people in the world can be so close to each other in terms of these fourfold relationships? Just see the outside world!"

After saying this, Su Zelin also raised his glass, and the two of them drank it down.

The bastard's drinking capacity must be unparalleled. He has never lost to anyone except Nanazi.

But what surprised him was that Liu Wanyin also drank one cup after another.

As expected of a native of the Central Plains, he indeed has a talent for drinking deep down in his bones, and he developed it with just a little practice.

A piece of Dukang was already halfway through, and the first dish was served by the roast duck.

It wasn't that the chef cooked it too slowly. The Shangdu roast duck was already roasted and only needed to be cut and plated. The main reason was that the two of them drank too quickly. In just a few minutes, half a bottle of white wine was gone.

Su Zelin put down the cup.

"Wanyin, it's not easy for you to work hard here in the Central Plains. Thank you for your hard work. Eat more!"

Su Zelin used chopsticks to hold a piece of roast duck leg to Liu Wanyin with a soft voice.

"Thank you, boss."

I don’t know if it was because the alcohol was getting a little bit high, but Xiaoliu’s face turned slightly red, with two red clouds floating on her cheeks.

When she was in college, there were many times when Su Zelin took her to the cafeteria to eat together, deliberately filled up the food, and then gave some of it to herself. Liu Wanyin remembered it very clearly.

Whenever this happens, Liu Wanyin will blush, and even now, she still feels embarrassed.

If her subordinates were here, they would be shocked to see their boss like this. This is far different from the usual mature and capable Mr. Liu.

"Haha, you should eat more, it's a little meaty, it looks much better than before."

Su Zelin laughed.

"Well, boss, you, you can eat too."

Liu Wanyin plucked up her courage, put a piece of roast duck in Su Zelin's bowl, and her face turned even redder.

In college, she didn't dare to do this.

Su Zelin is the male idol in the class, so dazzling that he is so transparent. If he looks at him from the front, he will be blinded. How dare he pick up food for him?

Now she is confident and courageous.

"Okay, classmate Xiaoliu, I said we should all stop being polite. It seems like we are all rusty."

Of course Su Zelin was just joking.

He and Liu Wanyin have always been harmonious.

Now Koyanagi-san is even more relaxed.

After finishing the meal, the national emblem of Dukang was also empty.

In fact, it doesn’t add up to much, less than half a catty per person on average.

Considering that Liu Wanyin is a girl and has to go to work tomorrow, it is enough to stop.

Most of the time, I was still chatting, talking about things in college, the first store in the new century, and how I was afraid to apply for a job at the company, but it was Su Zelin and Luo Xi who encouraged me, and this changed my life.

She still carries the keychain that the two of them gave her back then, like a treasure.

For Liu Wanyin, this is the most meaningful gift.

Represents simple and sincere friendship.

Unconsciously, the conversation lasted until past nine o'clock. The restaurant was almost closing, so Liu Wanyin went to pay the bill.

The company has a reception quota. Besides, her current position as the person in charge of the New World Central Plains District, her salary and dividends are huge. Liu Wanyin is definitely a gold-collar and high-income person, so a meal is just a small thing.

The hotel arranged for a female driver to drive for her, but Liu Wanyin insisted on taking Su Zelin to the hotel, and even got off the car and delivered it to the gate.

"Okay, Wanyin, don't send me away. Do you still want to send me to the guest room?"

Su Zelin smiled half-heartedly.

"No, boss, I didn't mean that."

Liu Wanyin waved her hands randomly, her face turned red.

For some reason, Su Zelin liked to tease her occasionally. It was interesting to see Xiaoliu's shy look.

"Haha, you're just kidding. You should go back and rest early."

"Boss..."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing."

Liu Wanyin hesitated to speak, and finally just said: "Good night!"

"Good night, I'm leaving then!"

Su Zelin was a little strange, but didn't think too much about it.

Nodding slightly, he strode into the automatic door of the hotel, not forgetting to turn back and wave to her.

Watching Su Zelin's figure gradually blurring in the hotel lobby, a layer of hazy mist appeared in Liu Wanyin's beautiful eyes.

Let’s just look at the boss from afar like we did in college!
For me, this is enough... (End of chapter)
