Chapter 22: Report your favor on the golden stage
Dawei was still excited in the study, waiting for Wang Guozheng to explain in detail what kind of support he would receive.
But instead of receiving specific promises from the top leader, he received a warning instead.
"I will definitely give you what you want."
You can't expect a horse to run without eating grass.
Specifically, once you've recovered and returned to Guangdong Province, someone will be in contact with you.
What I need to tell you now is what to do if you fail to complete the task I assign you.
Wang Guozheng paused, observed Chen Dawei's expression, and seeing that the other party was not nervous or afraid, he slowly continued, "If you can't finish it..."
Then your career will have reached its peak.
And from now on, you don't need to come here anymore.
The implication is that his kingdom is not interested in dealing with mediocre people.
The opportunity has been given to you. Whether you can seize it and achieve results in your new position depends on your own abilities, Chen Dawei.
If you don't have the ability, then don't waste everyone's time; let's all go our separate ways.
David understood the implication and didn't disagree.
He understood what he was about to face.
It is also clear that in order to truly win the trust of the top leader and gain Wang Guozheng's genuine recognition, one cannot simply rely on the old man's help; one must also produce real achievements and let the facts speak for themselves.
"To repay your kindness on the golden platform, I will wield the jade dragon and die for you."
"Godfather, I will definitely do my best."
David did not provide any guarantees.
It wasn't explicitly stated whether it was good or bad.
Instead, they gave a vague yet very sincere statement.
The other party didn't specify what position or resources they would provide, so they certainly couldn't guarantee anything.
Making promises arbitrarily is a sign of political immaturity.
Wang Guozheng nodded slightly with a hint of relief: "Our relationship must be kept secret from outsiders."
"Yes, Godfather."
At this moment, Wang Xiaodan knocked on the door, interrupting their conversation at the most opportune time.
After receiving a response from Wang Guozheng inside, she pushed open the door and entered, her red lips parted slightly and her bright eyes sparkling as she smiled, "Big brother, Awei, the food is ready. Let's eat and chat."
Wang Guozheng stood up and gestured for Dawei to come over and have dinner with him.
Inside the restaurant, two elderly women were busy serving dishes.
Only Wang Guozheng, Wang Xiaodan, and Dawei dined there.
The dishes are not too dark in color, and the presentation is quite elegant.
It tastes somewhat light, like Cantonese cuisine, and you can taste the original flavor of the ingredients.
Three people, four dishes and one soup.
Not extravagant at all.
They remained silent throughout the meal, making Dawei feel somewhat awkward. Old Wang had done a good job raising his two children; they were both very well-mannered.
Each person received a small bowl of white rice, and Wang Guozheng ate every last grain.
The rice bowl was much smaller than the one Dawei usually used. Dawei wasn't full, but he was too embarrassed to say so. Seeing that everyone else had put down their bowls and chopsticks, he put down his own and stopped eating.
"Big brother, you go ahead with your work, Dawei and I will head back first." After putting down her chopsticks, Wang Xiaodan broke the silence.
Wang Guozheng nodded slightly: "Xiao He, see my sister off."
The young man in the white shirt came to open the door, helped Wang Xiaodan with her bag, and saw Dawei and Xiaodan into the Audi.
The driver was one of Wang Guozheng's men. Dawei didn't say a word the whole time. He wanted to ask why he hadn't seen any of Wang Guozheng's family members.
I'm afraid that if these words reach Wang Guozheng's ears, he will be unhappy.
Nobody likes having their privacy pried into.
David decided to never ask about it again.
When a leader wants to talk, they will naturally talk; when they don't want to talk, asking is pointless and only annoys people.
This is called a boundary.
Even if he's your godfather, you still have to be careful about this.
Once home, Wang Xiaodan went upstairs and didn't come down again.
David went downstairs to the bathroom to wash up.
"Aunt Wu, where's my handkerchief?"
When Dawei first moved in, Aunt Wu prepared toiletries such as bath towels and handkerchiefs for him.
But now the handkerchief I use to wash my face is gone.
Aunt Wu came over and pointed to the wall cabinet above the sink: "Here, use that. That's what Miss gave you."
David took a pack of face towels from the wall cabinet.
He used to see Xie Liting use this thing a lot; it's disposable and you throw it away after you're done using it.
That's Xie Liting's special product. Xie Liting said it's good for the skin, and women in big cities all use it.
David hasn't used it and thinks it's quite expensive.
"I'll use a towel instead, so as not to waste it."
"The lady said this is hygienic and good for your skin, so you should use it, kid."
Dawei looked at the washcloth in his hand and felt a warmth in his heart. His sister was so kind and thoughtful. She was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted.
Aunt Wu smiled mischievously: "This is the first time I've seen Miss so thoughtful, hehe, child, you know what I mean, right?"
Dawei smiled sheepishly: "Aunt Wu, Sister Xiaodan is just kind-hearted, she didn't mean anything by it."
Aunt Wu smiled and gave Dawei a sidelong glance, saying, "At my age, what haven't I seen? Hehehe..."
You see what you are; only a kind heart can perceive the kindness in others.
"Do you know how? The young lady instructed me that if you don't know, I can teach you."
David really didn't know how to use this thing.
Aunt Wu patiently taught him.
One isn't enough; you need at least two at a time.
The first one was wet and used to scrub away the dirt on my face;
The second sheet was used to wipe the water off my face, or more accurately, to absorb it.
Xiao Dan has her own skincare theory, which says that using a dry face towel to absorb water from your face can help remove dirt and impurities from deep within your skin through capillary action.
Dawei followed Wu Ma's instructions diligently and felt very refreshed after washing his face.
"Child, why did you give me your share of the money? It's made me uneasy all day. I'll keep it for you; I'm just an old woman, I don't really need the money."
"Please don't. Keep it for yourself. Don't worry, I'm still young and capable. You need it more than I do."
"this……"
Dawei smiled and waved his hand, about to close the bathroom door: "Alright, alright, Aunt Wu, you can rest now, I'm going to take a shower."
Let's not talk about money anymore.
In the old man's words, "We're destined to meet, let's not talk about it anymore."
Aunt Wu's eyes reddened, she blinked and nodded: "Okay, I'll keep it for you. If you need it later, just come to me."
"Okay, okay—" Dawei chuckled, trying his best to ease Wu Ma's unease with a smile.
Wu Ma smiled in the end, accepting the kindness, and left the corridor to return to her room.
Dawei could tell that Wu Ma's status in the family was far more than that of a nanny; even Wang Guozheng had to treat Wu Ma with respect.
Of course he can take that money.
But considering that she hadn't done anything for the old man, and that Aunt Wu had contributed far more to the family, Aunt Wu deserved and needed more.
After taking a shower, in order not to trouble Aunt Wu, I quickly washed my clothes and then lay down on the bed to rest.
Xiao Lili called at just the right moment.
"Chen Dawei, what do you mean by this?!"
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Lili on the other end asked a sharp question.
Dawei was completely bewildered and instinctively moved his phone further away to avoid hurting his ears from the loud noise.
"W-what's wrong?"
While he was driving on the highway, the woman was perfectly fine and even alerted him that someone was intercepting him.
She can change her tune so easily; women are so fickle.
