Chapter 902: The Aloof Goddess—Qiu Wen Is a Virgo

Finance Institute, staff dormitory.

Su Zelin was dining at Vice Director Dai’s house again, accompanied by Kang Baohong.

“Baohong, I heard your company allocated houses for you and Xiaosu, how big are they?”

During dinner, the vice director’s wife asked gossipingly.

“The boss, myself, and President Yang were all allocated management apartments in Building A, it’s more than 170 square meters, two living rooms and five bedrooms.”

Kang Baohong grinned.

This is already his second house.

Before hanging out with Su Zelin, buying a house in Lin’an was a luxurious dream. Who would’ve thought he’d own two houses in the provincial capital, both spacious, and the second one is free.

Moreover, if he wants, buying a third, fourth, or even more is no problem.

Kang Baohong also has original shares in New Era, given by Su Zelin. Though only five percent, it’s enough to make him a billionaire.

Based on New Era’s current market valuation, these shares are worth billions. Even without selling, the annual dividends, along with his salary and bonuses as general manager, are considerable. Kang Baohong is now undoubtedly a high-income individual.

“More than 170 square meters, that’s so big! Our old staff dormitory is only more than 120 square meters, your company’s benefits are really great!”

Kang Yulian’s tone was uncertain whether it was envy or happiness for her nephew.

“Aunt, of course. When employee benefits are good, their work enthusiasm is higher, creating more value for the company. Just like when New Era was expanding into the national market or starting the ‘Thousand County Plan’ recently, it required a lot of overtime, but no one complained.”

Kang Baohong shoveled food into his mouth desperately, like a starving ghost reincarnate.

If Kang Yulian hadn’t invited him and Su Zelin for dinner today, he’d be working overtime at the company after hours or going on business trips, even after dinner there were lots of things to handle.

“Baohong, you’re not young anymore. Now you are New Era’s young boss and general manager, successfully established in your career. You should consider your life’s major events. Your dad called me yesterday, saying he hopes to have grandchildren soon, but you haven’t even dated, when will that happen!”

The vice director’s wife addressed the real topic, which was why she invited Kang Baohong for dinner tonight.

Her brother, Kang Baohong’s father, asked her to be the mediator.

Coming from a rural background, his family held traditional views, hoping their children would start families soon. But seeing no progress from Kang Baohong for so long, his father grew anxious. Every call about it received the same reply: “Busy with work, no time!”

“Aunt, why are you acting as my dad’s mediator now?”

Kang Baohong paused his chopsticks, grumbled, “Our company is doing so well in the national market, it’s the time to pursue success, how could I have time to date?”

Since joining New Era, he devoted all passion and energy to his career, not considering a girlfriend, holding the attitude that women only slow him down.

“Career and dating aren’t conflicting. Haven’t you heard the saying, behind every successful man, there’s a supportive woman? Find a virtuous wife, and she won’t hinder your work; she can become your motivation, ensuring your career has no worries!”

After speaking, the vice director’s wife gave a glance at her husband, signaling him to say something.

So, Dai Chuangxing slowly began, “Baohong, your aunt makes a good point. There are plenty instances where career and dating don’t conflict, like Xiaosu managing both well.”

The couple once considered introducing Su Zelin to a girlfriend, but he politely declined, saying he already had a good relationship with his girlfriend.

“Uncle, the boss is different. He and his girlfriend were childhood friends, knowing each other well with a deep emotional foundation. If I randomly choose a girlfriend without knowing her, it might become a burden on my career.”

Kang Baohong argued logically.

For him, career is above all. Every time New Era hits the news or its market value increases, he’s delighted for half a day, but dating holds little interest.

“Rest assured, your uncle and I will ensure to find someone suitable, a beautiful girl with good character, like your uncle’s classmate’s daughter, Chu Junyi’s daughter, Chu Jie. She’s two years younger than you, works at the drug administration post graduation, she’s pretty, gentle, and well-bred. I think she suits you well!”

Kang Yulian recommended strongly.

Years ago, she wouldn’t have dared to be the matchmaker.

Because then, Kang Baohong was a rural worker unworthy of her.

But now, with the status of her nephew, they could easily find someone with higher standards in the provincial capital.

Kang Baohong remained unmoved: “The leader’s daughter? I think I’ll pass, such girls usually have princess temperaments, I can’t serve them!”

Despite having money, he hadn’t considered marrying a rich beauty, rather thinking a diligent, loyal woman who respects parents would be better, at least she wouldn’t cause troubles.

Kang Yulian frowned, “You haven’t even met her, how do you know she has a princess temperament, that’s baseless conjecture. How about this, I’ll arrange for you two to meet, see if you get along?”
