"What do you think the boss means?" Meng Ruping asked softly.
Huang Fatty looked at her, feeling a bit confused, and said with a wry smile, "The boss means that you will be in charge of managing the Fallen Star Tower in the future, while I will be in charge of my kitchen team and the food reserve base."
Meng Ruping blushed and whispered, "Do you think the boss might have taken a liking to me?"
Huang Fatty sprayed the water he was drinking and said, "What did you just say?"
Meng Ruping glared at Huang Fatty and angrily said, "What's with that expression? Is it so surprising?" Am I not pretty enough? "I said the boss took a liking to me." "What's so strange about that?"
"No!" Huang Fatty stifled a laugh and said, "Exactly, I said it." A girl as beautiful as you should not allow the boss to take advantage of her for a few years; it's embarrassing to call herself a beauty. "Isn't that right?"
Meng Ruping could clearly tell that Huang Fatty was teasing her, so she kicked him and scolded, "Get lost!" You can't handle the truth. "Are you trying to pursue someone like Xiao Hong with your chubby physique?" I'll introduce Xiao Hong to Xiao Li.
She felt uneasy and wanted to talk to someone. Among everyone in the Fallen Star Tower, she had the most contact with Li Zhi. Therefore, she wanted Huang Fatty to analyze the boss's intentions in promoting her. She felt that Li Zhi might have a slight interest in her.
Every girl has her own dreams. Meng Ruping had never been in a relationship, but that didn't stop her from yearning for love. In the past, love seemed like a luxury to her, but now, with an annual salary of over she hoped to keep the Fallen Star Tower thriving so she wouldn't have to worry about her livelihood, finances, or career planning.
Would she resist if the boss truly intended to exploit her? Meng Ruping didn't know how to answer that question.
"Hey, didn't you say it yourself?" You mentioned that you're beautiful, and the boss expects you to do everything. I said the boss wants to take advantage of you for a few years. Otherwise, how could you climb the ranks solely based on your appearance? "What's wrong with that?" Huang Fatty said, glaring with his small eyes.
Xiao Li worked as a server under Meng Ruping, and it appeared that he was interested in another server, Ah Hong. As for Huang Fatty, it was obvious that he had his eyes on Ah Hong. He was in his thirties, at the age to get married and have children. His family was worried about this, but there weren't many people who could catch his eye.
Despite his unimpressive appearance, Huang Fatty had high standards for a partner. He wouldn't even look at a woman who didn't meet his criteria.
Meng Ruping blushed and rolled her eyes. Although they hadn't been together for long, the service team and kitchen team at the Fallen Star Tower had a good rapport. They were like a big family, unlike the restaurant where she used to work or the Star Moon Bay Hotel across the street.
"Do you still want to be with Ah Hong?" Meng Ruping asked.
Huang Fatty blushed and said, "What do you want me to do?" Do you want me to confront the boss? No problem, I'll help you. If the boss dares to take advantage of you, I'll lead everyone in the Fallen Star Tower to revolt against him.
"Hey, that's not what I meant!" Meng Ruping didn't want Huang Fatty to lead a protest against the boss.
Huang Fatty blinked his small eyes and asked in confusion, "Not that?" "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I don't want you to do anything!" Meng Ruping blushed and said softly, "I just want you to help me analyze whether the boss likes me or not."
"He does!" Huang Fatty couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that it wasn't Li Zhi wanting to take advantage of Meng Ruping, but Meng Ruping developing a crush on Li Zhi. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing for either Li Zhi or Meng Ruping.
As an experienced individual, Huang Fatty recognized that Meng Ruping was beautiful, had a good figure, and stood out from other girls. This was an inherent quality, unrelated to appearance. Some girls, despite their beauty, were only suitable for a fling and would only bring themselves pain.
Love?
In this world, there isn't as much love as people think. Love cannot be compared to a simple life or material possessions.
While Meng Ruping was a well-behaved girl, she lacked self-confidence, possibly due to her upbringing.
"Ruping, be honest with me." "Have you fallen for our boss?" Huang Fatty asked seriously.
"What?" "No, it's the boss who has fallen for me!" Meng Ruping blushed and said softly, lacking confidence.
"Yes, the boss has fallen for you, but tell me, have you also fallen for the boss?" Huang Fatty asked, looking at her with his small eyes.
"I..." Meng Ruping stammered, feeling flustered and unable to meet Huang Fatty's gaze. She said softly, "Doesn't it seem like the boss has a girlfriend?"
"He does, and not just one!" Huang Fatty squinted and asked, "So, do you want to be the boss's girlfriend?"
Meng Ruping frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Huang Fatty sighed and said, "A person like the boss can't possibly have just one or two women around him. If you truly like him, you need to be prepared." Whether you become his lover or his official girlfriend, don't try to control him in this aspect. "You won't be able to."
Meng Ruping's expression changed, and Huang Fatty sighed. He knew he was being harsh, but it was necessary. From his perspective, Li Zhi was a player, and if Meng Ruping had high hopes, she would only be disappointed in the future.
It was better to face the truth now than to suffer later.
Li Zhi and Meng Ruping were unaware of the underlying issues, so Huang Fatty had to play the role of a "big boss" in front of Li Zhi. He couldn't let them handle everything on their own, as it would be awkward and could lead to misunderstandings.
Huang Fatty wasn't jealous of Li Zhi nurturing Meng Ruping, as they were fundamentally different. He was a man, and she was a woman. There were things she could do that he couldn't, and vice versa.
Upon deciding to invest in Li Zhi, Huang Fatty knew what he had to do.
"No one can help you with this." "It's up to you," Huang Fatty said, patting Meng Ruping's shoulder before leaving. "Think about whether you want to live a simple life or be by his side, experiencing the ups and downs of the world."
Meng Ruping had undergone a transformation that no one, not even Huang Fatty, had expected. A man could destroy a woman, but he could also create a queen. Every woman has the potential to be a queen, and ambition is essential for achieving that.
Meng Ruping's transformation was beyond anyone's imagination. She had changed, and her heart had grown larger. When your world expands, so does your heart.
Ambition is inherent in everyone, but many people need opportunities and exploration.
Without opportunities, what use is ambition?
For Meng Ruping, Li Zhi had provided her with a platform to explore and discover herself. It was a vast platform that enabled her to see the world.
No changes needed.
Meng Ruping no longer had the final say. Unconsciously, her wild nature had awakened.
Huang Fatty was right. She couldn't control this man because everything she had achieved was based on what he had given her.
You have to work for what you want. Meng Ruping didn't realize that her feelings had shifted after Li Zhi granted her additional power and authority.
This change wasn't necessarily a bad thing. No one is born knowing everything. As long as you are willing to change and learn, things that seem difficult become simpler.
"There's only one Meng Ruping, and I am the only Meng Ruping!" Meng Ruping muttered to herself.
Her transformation had exceeded everyone's expectations, even Huang Fatty's, who had been instrumental in her change.
A man can destroy a woman, but he can also create a queen.
Every woman has the potential to be a queen, and ambition is essential for achieving that.
