Liu Jingru had only been there for a short while when Qin Wen and Ma Yuqin also came downstairs.
Four women were all it took to start a lively scene, and now that the stage was set, there was no room for anyone else. The four of them chatted incessantly.
"Want to play Mahjong?" Xia Lin asked Liu Jingru.
Now that there were exactly four girls, they had enough to form a Mahjong table.
"Let's play after dinner. Isn't Boss Ma already cooking?" Liu Jingru thought for a moment and decided to hold back. It was probably better not to be too casual.
Even though she was good friends with Xia Lin, with so many influential figures present, she was just a nobody. She didn't dare to casually curry favor and had a clear understanding of her own position.
"Alright, we'll play after we finish eating." Xia Lin nodded.
As they were drinking tea, Liu Jingru's phone rang. She got up and said, "You all chat, I'm going to take a call outside."
After coming outside the villa, Liu Jingru found a quiet spot, answered the phone, and asked, "Manager Hu, what is it?"
"Little Liu, I heard you went to Modu in advance?" Manager Hu asked lazily.
"Yes, I've been here for two days," Liu Jingru replied.
"That's good. President Li has a dinner engagement today. Go and socialize with him in advance," Manager Hu instructed directly without considering Liu Jingru's thoughts.
After all, in the marketing department, performance was paramount.
This President Li was in the chain supermarket business, and they wanted him to switch his supermarkets to use Fu Fu Bao as their primary payment method.
In the payment industry, the two major private businesses were Fu Fu Bao from Aba Aba Group and Penguin Pay from Penguin Group. The two sides were constantly vying for market share.
Both Aba Aba Group and Penguin Group were super companies now, but those in business still had to socialize with clients. After all, if you wanted to achieve your performance goals, you had to put in some effort.
It's not like you're the only one dominating. The company can't compare to these two, and they aren't on the same level. However, you still have the right to choose which one to make your primary payment method.
"Manager Hu, I'm not free tonight." Liu Jingru had just arrived at Xia Lin's house and had no time to entertain this Mr. Li.
"Little Liu, work comes first. Even though it's a holiday today, once you get there, you'll have to take responsibility for this task." Manager Hu was somewhat displeased when Liu Jingru directly refused.
"I really can't make it. We can talk about it the day after tomorrow." Liu Jingru still replied in the same way.
"Liu Jingru, what kind of attitude is that?" Manager Hu questioned. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Manager Hu, I really can't make it. I'm having dinner with a big boss. I have to go." Liu Jingru hung up the phone.
Manager Hu on the other end was furious. Did she really not consider him important?
Manager Hu was contemplating how to deal with Liu Jingru's issue when his phone rang. It was a picture sent by Liu Jingru.
After Liu Jingru went inside the villa, she specifically went to the kitchen to say hello to Jack Ma and took a photo.
Manager Hu looked at the photo sent by Liu Jingru. It was a photo of the kitchen. One person had their back turned, washing something in the sink, while another person was turning around, with their face captured in the shot.
Manager Hu found the person somewhat familiar and even used two fingers to zoom in on the photo.
He didn't realize anything at first, but when he saw it, he was shocked.
Jack Ma? Boss Ma?
This...
Damn it...
Liu Jingru said she was having dinner with a big boss, and she was having dinner with their big boss, Jack Ma?
Why was the big boss personally cooking?
Manager Hu dared not think further. He was startled.
Thinking about his attitude towards Liu Jingru just now, he felt incredibly flustered. He quickly replied to Liu Jingru: "Jingru, I was a bit harsh with my words just now. Please don't mind. You go ahead and be busy. I'll arrange for someone else to handle the business the day after tomorrow. Focus on your matters and let me know if you need anything."
As Liu Jingru's manager, Manager Hu had already lowered himself to an extreme degree.
Anyone who could dine with the big boss, even a fool like Manager Hu, knew that Liu Jingru's future would be boundless.
Liu Jingru smiled when she saw the message from Manager Hu. She thought, "Let's see if you dare to make things difficult for me in the future."
This wasn't intentional showing off, nor was she using her newfound status to her advantage. It was just that this Manager Hu was arrogant, and it was not easy to be under him. Now that she finally had an opportunity, Liu Jingru couldn't resist scaring him a little, letting him experience the bitterness of being deliberately tricked.
"Is that young lady from your company?"
Penguin Ma looked at Jack Ma and asked after Liu Jingru left the kitchen.
"Yes, and she's one of Lin'er's good friends. Are you very envious?" Jack Ma smiled proudly.
"Hmph, what am I envious of?" Penguin Ma played coy, finding it harder than ascending to heaven to admit someone else's excellence.
"Not envious? I can tell. Don't envy me, brother. I'm just a legend." Jack Ma smiled indifferently.
Penguin Ma's expression had already betrayed him. With his limited abilities, he was still being stubborn in front of him.
"Hmph... you say it as if it's true." Penguin Ma snorted coldly.
"Whether it's true or not, let's not discuss it. You are my little follower here. I'm specifically ordering you to be the professional vegetable washer. Do you dare not listen?"
Jack Ma was very smug. Penguin Ma had no way to refute this.
"Heh heh... you say it as if it's true, but I'm not washing vegetables for you. I'm washing them because I trust myself, and I want Young Master Xia and Lin'er to eat with peace of mind. Even if I hired a dog to cook, I would wash them meticulously."
Penguin Ma sneered, his expression showing a hint of urgency.
"You're getting anxious. Haha..."
Jack Ma wasn't angry. Instead, he burst into laughter. Making Penguin Ma agitated was a source of great pleasure for him.
If they didn't bicker for a day, neither of them would feel comfortable.
If one of them left, it was likely that neither would be able to adapt. This was true love.
After dealing with the situation, Liu Jingru returned to the living room and looked at Xia Lin, saying, "Lin'er, no wonder you don't work at home every day. Why are you still doing live streams?"
"With this kind of situation, you're still live streaming to earn money?"
"Isn't that insulting the influential figures present?"
"No, although I don't do game live streams anymore, I still occasionally go live to interact with everyone and sometimes hold lucky draws to give back to my fans."
Xia Lin explained with a smile.
Even though she no longer did game live streams, live streaming was still her hobby.
Her conditions were much better now, and she couldn't forget the fans who had accompanied her all along.
"Yes, it's good to treat live streaming as a hobby," Liu Jingru nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Everyone had their own hobbies, and no one was an exception.
After they chatted for a while, Xia Feng came downstairs with Long Aotian, Du Lapete, and Zhou Gangyi. It was almost time for dinner.
"Brother, I'm back."
"Young Master Xia."
Everyone who was sitting and drinking tea stood up and greeted Xia Feng as he came down.
At this moment, Liu Jingru also timidly stood up. The big bosses had arrived.
She only glanced at Xia Feng briefly before being stunned.
So charismatic, so handsome!
