Fang Zhuoran often goes abroad for academic exchanges, and he can order and eat Western food.
While eating Western food, he softly taught Lin Mai how to use a knife and fork.
Lin Mai can eat Western food, but she can't show it.
Otherwise, Fang Zhuoran would ask her how she knew how to use a knife, and she would have to make up lies again, which would make her feel tired.
So he pretended not to know how to eat Western food and followed Fang Zhuoran's lead.
After finishing the appetizer, it's time to eat steak.
After the steak was served, Fang Zhuoran gave Lin Mai a few demonstrations and then concentrated on cutting the beef.
Lin Mai pretended to be clumsy and cut the beef.
She cut a piece and put one in her mouth.
She doesn't like to eat much Western food, but steak is one of her favorites.
But what surprised her was that Fang Zhuoran cut the steak into small pieces and did not eat it.
When I asked him, he said gently, "Eat slowly and don't worry about me."
Just when Lin Mai was eating with gusto, Fang Zhuoran put the plate of chopped steak in front of her, and brought the steak she had not finished in front of him, cutting it and eating it.
Lin Mai was stunned for three seconds and realized that it turned out that Fang Zhuoran had just cut the beef and refused to eat it, so that he could cut it for her.
Lin Mai smiled happily as she ate the steak Fang Zhuoran cut for her, feeling extremely happy.
While the two were enjoying the meal, a pair of eyes in the corner of the restaurant kept staring at them.
The owner of those eyes is none other than Gu Manshi.
She saw Fang Zhuoran as soon as he appeared in the restaurant just now.
She didn't want Fang Zhuoran to see her miserable condition as a waiter in the restaurant, so she hid.
When Fang Zhuoran and Lin Mai stopped paying attention to her, she secretly hid in the corner and looked at them carefully.
She knew that Fang Zhuoran had an extraordinary background. His grandfather was a senior official and his father was a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise.
Otherwise, she would not have pursued him and asked him to be her boyfriend.
But no matter how good his conditions are, they are only domestic. His conditions are nothing in the United States.
This is why she quietly abandoned Fang Zhuoran and married a foreign teacher who could be her father.
I just want to come to the United States and live a wealthier life than at home.
She followed her gray-haired husband to the United States and lived a prosperous life for two years.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, as her husband, who was over fifty years old, soon got tired of her.
He gave her a sum of money and divorced her.
At that time, she had already given birth to their child Congcong.
She thought that with this child in hand, she could always ask for support from her ex-husband.
Unexpectedly, her ex-husband disappeared and she could never find him again.
The alimony given by her ex-husband was quickly spent, and she had to go out to work.
Earning a salary to support her and her son makes life difficult.
The good days she had been pursuing were gone, and all that was left in her life was hardship.
But Fang Zhuoran seemed to be doing well and dressed very well.
No matter how talented he is, no matter how good his economic conditions are in the country, it is simply impossible for him to dress so well.
Gu Manshi looked at Lin Mai involuntarily.
This woman is well dressed. Could it be that she is a rich girl, and Fang Zhuoran lives so well by being with her?
Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran didn't know that Gu Manshi was secretly observing them, so they finished their Western food and left.
Gu Manshi followed furtively, wanting to see where they were going.
I even want to know whether the beautiful girl following Fang Zhuoran is the daughter of a rich family.
If so, she really wants to be friends with her.
Unexpectedly, Fang Zhuoran and the girl beside him went out, took a taxi and left. She couldn't follow her even if she wanted to.
When she returned to the restaurant angrily, she was caught by the white foreman.
The foreman was a racist and scolded her bloody and called her a pig.
Gu Manshi listened silently, she was used to it.
…
After cleaning his aunt's grave, the next step was for Fang Zhuoran to officially inherit his aunt's Wanguan family property.
After Fang Zhuoran inherited all the property, with Lin Mai's help, he sorted out the company in detail, especially checking the accounts, and found that everything was fine.
It's not that foreigners are more honest, but that Fang Zhuoran's great-aunt has the ability to recognize people, and the left and right arms she hired are all compatriots she brought from China, and they are loyal to her.
It is precisely because of these loyal and loyal subordinates that the company is still operating normally even after Fang Zhuoran's aunt passed away for more than half a year.
Fang Zhuoran didn't know how to do business, so he handed over the company to Lin Mai for management.
The ministers who cared about his aunt's life were afraid that Lin Mai had seduced Fang Zhuoran with his beauty and wanted to seize the huge amount of property that Fang Zhuoran's aunt left him, so they tried hard to persuade him not to hand over the company to Lin Mai.
Lin Mai actually doesn't have much yearning for money.
What she likes is the feeling of making money. The more money she makes, the more she can reflect her abilities and life value.
Since these uncles are so afraid that they will take away the property left to him by Fang Zhuoran's aunt, they should make an agreement that they will never get involved in the inheritance left to him by Fang Zhuoran's aunt.
Fang Zhuoran did not express any objection.
If the little girl doesn't make this agreement, those uncles and uncles may be disappointed and not work hard.
Even after their great-aunt passed away, they remained loyal and worked hard for the company, all for the sake of their great-aunt's descendants.
Just like Zhuge Liang wanted to repay Liu Bei for his kindness.
If the company changes hands, who among them can accept it?
For the sake of the company's stability, Fang Zhuoran could only agree with Lin Mai to do this.
Fang Zhuoran thought that when he and Lin Mai were officially married and then handed over all their property to Lin Mai, those uncles and uncles would no longer object.
The first thing Lin Mai did when he took over the company was to reward all the "life-seeking ministers" with a huge bonus to thank them for their efforts after the death of his great-aunt.
She always believes that only by giving up can you gain something.
Only when employees do well and are rewarded accordingly can they be motivated and create more value for the company.
The boss's own talents may be insufficient, but he must have the ability to control talents.
Only by mastering talents can you make up for your own shortcomings.
By the time Lin Mai finished handling all the affairs of her great-aunt's multinational company and flew back to Jiangcheng, it was already late November.
It was autumn when I came, and it was winter when I was about to go back.
Although they have been in the United States for about a month, the two of them have never gone shopping properly.
The day before leaving, Fang Zhuoran took Lin Mai to go shopping.
It was a rare trip to the United States. Lin Mai bought a lot of things for the whole family, including food, clothing, and everything.
I also bought a Mercedes Benz.
At this time in China, foreign cars are not sold to ordinary people, and even those with money cannot buy them.
It is better to buy one in the United States and then ship it back to the country.
Whether buying a car or shopping, it's all Fang Zhuoran's money that's spent.
Fang Zhuoran smiled and watched her buy, and he followed behind to pay.
The most he could do was interject: "Is this too cheap? There are more expensive ones out there."
This caused the clerk to stare at Lin Mai longingly, hoping that she would listen to Fang Zhuoran.
But Lin Mai always said, only buy the right ones, not the expensive ones.
He bought everything he needed to buy. Lin Mai wanted to go back and rest so he could fly back tomorrow.
But Fang Zhuoran dragged her into a big-name jewelry store and wanted to buy her jewelry.
Lin Mai was not interested in jewelry, but Fang Zhuoran insisted on buying it and she did not refuse.
She also bought a lot of jewelry for Grandma Fang.
Grandma Fang comes from a wealthy family. Although she lives a simple life now, I said she doesn't like jewelry.
She also bought a gold necklace for each of her four friends: Zhou Caiyun, Ke Ziqing, Tao Zhiyun, Li Mingcheng, and Chen Feng.
In the United States, a gold necklace is nothing, but in China it is very valuable.
Although Li Mingcheng and Chen Feng do not wear gold necklaces, their future wives will wear them and they can pass them on to their respective wives.
Fang Zhuoran couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw that the gift Lin Mai gave Chen Fengxuan was a women's gold necklace.
After buying the jewelry, the two of them walked out of the store and got into Fang Zhuoran's luxury car.
Gu Manshi, who was passing by nearby, frowned when she saw this scene.
She looked at the luxury car and then at the jewelry store.
I was thinking to myself, who is the girl following Fang Zhuoran, and why is she so rich?
Until now, she thought Lin Mai was a wealthy daughter.
