57: Zhang Shuo: I really want to improve.
Zhang Shuo knew in his heart that venting his anger for him was just Mr. Cao being polite.
If you really took it seriously, you'd be out of the game!
If a good buddy said this, he might truly be trying to help you. When a boss speaks, it's either just talk leading to talk, or there's some other deep meaning.
So the real meaning of those words should be to have him act as a bridge to introduce Irina.
As a driver, if you can't understand the meaning behind your boss's words, then why drive? You might as well drive a semi-trailer to earn more.
Zhang Shuo immediately thought of the 'Workplace Dry Goods Learning' account he followed on TikTok.
He used to be dismissive of these worldly ways, but now he was studying them frame by frame.
Tongwei crying at the grave, Dakang jumping the hurdle, Donglai calling for mom, Liangping striking the bell.
These were all classic scenes and the ultimate display of the art of language and behavior!
Of course, Zhang Shuo didn't think he could reach such a high level, but the workplace and the political arena have similar subtleties.
If he couldn't even understand Cao Lang's needs, then his career as a dedicated driver would be over before it even started.
Zhang Shuo began a rational analysis.
He didn't think Cao Lang would truly hate gold diggers!
If women weren't gold diggers, where would a big donor like Cao Lang find his fun?
Beautiful women are essentially a resource. As long as it's a resource, it can be bought with money. Using love to restrict someone from being a gold digger isn't a rich person's mindset.
Additionally, as a man who had been dumped, Zhang Shuo certainly had his own shortcomings; there was no doubt about that.
In this flowery world, no one has to depend on anyone else!
If he really wanted to vent his anger, then making something of himself would be the best counterattack!
Zhang Shuo carefully observed Cao Lang's expression through the rearview mirror. Seeing Cao Lang playing with his phone with no intention of continuing the conversation, he took the initiative to speak.
"Mr. Cao, although my girlfriend cheated on me, I'm also responsible. I neglected to take care of her in my daily life."
Zhang Shuo believed this sentence tactfully expressed his professional attitude and also provided options for Cao Lang's next words.
Cao Lang nodded, agreeing with Zhang Shuo's sentiment, and said, "You can't reply to messages while driving, but you can explain after you're done."
Hearing this, Zhang Shuo knew where he stood.
He really couldn't take those words just now too seriously! He hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes, the fate has ended, let's part on good terms."
"If I can become Mr. Cao's dedicated driver and learn life philosophy from you, it would be a brand new start for my career. This great gift of life would be the best punishment for that bitch!"
This flattery was a bit excessive.
But Cao Lang didn't say much.
Once people have money and status, even the most excessive flattery makes their ears grow callouses.
"Mm, you're quite good."
Cao Lang nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Mr. Cao, I have an uncalled-for request. Please promise me! Consider it a wish of mine!"
Zhang Shuo glanced at the rearview mirror again and continued.
"Oh? What request do you have? Let's hear it."
Cao Lang crossed his legs, replying to messages from that little girl Liu Qingqin. Liu Qingqin was still a student and contacted Cao Lang the most, so he naturally had to balance it.
Jiang Mengyuan and Chen Yongqiu were more sensible; the number of times they disturbed Cao Lang each day was limited.
Zhang Shuo was filled with righteous indignation, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, his tone slightly hesitant.
"This request is a bit embarrassing to bring up, maybe a bit excessive, and it might trouble Mr. Cao, but if I just let her go like this, I still can't get over this hurdle in my heart."
Zhang Shuo paused and continued.
"Irina is my ex-girlfriend's best friend, but I know my ex-girlfriend; she can't stand seeing others do well."
"If Mr. Cao can give Irina a chance, I guarantee! That bitch will definitely be dying of jealousy!"
Zhang Shuo spoke with passion, as if Cao Lang giving Irina a chance was the greatest wish of his life.
Finally bringing up the topic, Cao Lang's interest was piqued. He turned off his phone and began a formal conversation with Zhang Shuo.
"Oh? How so?"
Seeing Cao Lang's interest piqued, Zhang Shuo knew the next part would determine his salary.
If he handled this beautifully, the pay would definitely be substantial!
"Mr. Cao, this Irina is a model with a small following. She came to China to start a business and currently doesn't have a Boyfriend."
"But she seemed to have a European Boyfriend before, and they broke up after she came to China."
Zhang Shuo subtly indicated that Irina wasn't an 'original import,' wanting to see Cao Lang's reaction.
Cao Lang naturally had his own standards and said, "It's normal to have a Boyfriend. Beautiful women naturally don't lack Boyfriends."
"Yes, Mr. Cao. I heard she seems to have been looking for a job. She's currently unemployed."
"If you're willing, I'll have Irina fly over. You can give her any job, and she'll definitely be happy to death. That way, my ex-girlfriend will be jealous. Women just love to compete with each other!"
Cao Lang nodded; this kid really knew how to handle things.
Turning the boss's needs into his own request was a rather high-level form of flattery.
"Mm, then it would be best if you can get her to come. Is it difficult?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Cao. To make my ex-girlfriend miserable, I'll go through fire and water to get this woman here."
This was a bit forced, but Cao Lang didn't care.
After all, a Great Ocean Horse had always been part of his plans; he'd see her quality then.
Soon, they reached the destination.
Cao Lang got out of the car as Zhang Shuo respectfully opened the door. Before leaving, he dropped a sentence: "It's best to get your resignation certificate done today. I might not live here in a few days, and I'll need you to pick me up and drop me off then."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely finish the resignation procedures as soon as possible."
Zhang Shuo watched Cao Lang enter the hotel, the heavy stone in his heart finally dropping.
Although he drove a nine-million-yuan rolls-royce every day and picked up various wealthy people, his salary was unsatisfactory, around eight thousand a month.
This was why his girlfriend would rather serve an old man than stay with him.
An eight-thousand-yuan salary couldn't satisfy his girlfriend's expenses at all.
By becoming Cao Lang's driver, his salary definitely wouldn't be lower than eight thousand. Most importantly, he could steadily serve one boss, which was equivalent to having a backer.
After driving the rolls-royce into the garage, Zhang Shuo immediately called his ex-girlfriend, Wang Zihan.
"Zhang Shuo, I know I've wronged you, but we're really over!"
"Wang Zihan, push Irina's green bubble to me."
"You want to hit on Irina? Heh, she's even more realistic than me. I don't even look at you; do you think she will?"
"I want her to be realistic. Are you pushing it or not? If you don't, I'll make a PPT of you hooking up with that old man and send it to your boss."
"Pushing, pushing. This way, we're even."
The power of the Pure Love Warrior PPT was still too great. Nowadays, all kinds of gossip appeared in PPT format. Wang Zihan didn't dare let Zhang Shuo act recklessly and agreed to his request.
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Shuo successfully added Irina on green bubble.
