"Yu Lu, if it were my connections, I would definitely help you out without a second thought," he said.
"But these are my dad's connections, and I need a good reason to get him to help."
"If I say it's just to help a regular friend, my dad surely won't agree to it."
"But if I say it's for my girlfriend, for his future daughter-in-law, then he'll agree."
Chen Guanglei offered up his lofty reason.
It had to be said, it sounded quite reasonable on first hearing.
At least, that's how Zhao Yulu heard it.
Now, Zhao Yulu hesitated.
The truth was, she wasn't too fond of Chen Guanglei.
To be Chen Guanglei's girlfriend, she really hadn't prepared herself for that.
However, if she could seize this opportunity to become a wealth management manager at the bank, her career would take a big leap forward.
The chance was just too rare.
"Yu Lu, you know how much I like you. Just agree to be my girlfriend and I assure you I'll treat you well," he said.
