Chapter 2094: A Foursome

"Seriously, does your girlfriend need to be transferred to our side?"

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and asked Dong Guoxiang.

Jokes aside, since she was Dong Guoxiang's girlfriend, she was one of their own, and they couldn't keep the couple apart.

Besides, given Dong Guoxiang's current status, even if it was inconvenient for his girlfriend to work at Future Technology, transferring her to the headquarters under Zheng Yao was feasible.

He believed Zheng Yao would have no objections.

Unexpectedly, everyone burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Fusheng was a bit baffled. He had just asked casually, and they were all laughing.

Especially Dong Guoxiang, who was laughing while his face turned red.

"What's going on?" Zhao Fusheng frowned and asked them.

"It's all his fault."

Zheng Yao pointed helplessly at Dong Guoxiang: "When he was dating, he said he worked at Future Technology."

"So what?"

Zhao Fusheng frowned: "He was telling the truth."

Then he asked in confusion: "What, do you suspect the girl is after his money?"

"No..."

Dong Guoxiang quickly shook his head.

Dong Chenxi helplessly explained to Zhao Fusheng: "Here's the thing, he told her he worked at Future Technology, and she thought he was a programmer..."

Huh?

Zhao Fusheng was dumbfounded.

A programmer?

Dong Guoxiang?

He blinked, looking Dong Guoxiang up and down.

Then Zhao Fusheng laughed. Come to think of it, the guy really did look like a programmer.

He wasn't wearing any brand-name clothes, didn't carry much cash in his wallet, and had a silly demeanor. If you said he was an office worker, no one would doubt it.

"Seriously, are you playing some prince-turns-into-frog game out of boredom?" Zhao Fusheng asked Dong Guoxiang with a strange expression.

He really couldn't understand what was going on.

How could his girlfriend not know his true identity?

Dong Guoxiang looked embarrassed and explained helplessly: "I didn't think much at the time. She lost her wallet, and I found it. To thank me, she insisted on treating me to a meal. When we chatted about work, I just said I worked at Future Technology. She works as a translator at a nearby import-export trading company."

"And then?"

Zhao Fusheng pressed.

"Nothing else. She misunderstood and thought I was a programmer at Future Technology. We exchanged numbers, sometimes texted, had a few meals, and then..." Dong Guoxiang said sheepishly.

After hearing his story, Zhao Fusheng was speechless.

Thinking about it, it was entirely possible.

Such a thing happening to Dong Guoxiang wasn't surprising at all.

"Let me tell you, if it were me, I'd have misunderstood too."

Dong Chenxi curled her lip from the side.

Then she pointed at Dong Guoxiang: "Look at him, no brand-name clothes, no bodyguards when he goes out, can't even drive, stays cooped up all day, never goes on dates. Does he look like a successful person?"

"I... am I really that bad?"

Dong Guoxiang hesitated, then said cautiously.

"..."

Zheng Yao glared at him: "Shut up! Look at the entire senior management of the group—who else can't drive? You don't even buy a car, just houses. Or you hang out with your programmers all day. Where's the boss in you?"

Dong Guoxiang shrank his neck and said helplessly: "I don't go out much, why would I need a car? Besides, Fusheng said to buy houses when I have nothing else to do. Property prices in the capital have indeed gone up. The dozen or so houses I bought earlier have made a good profit."

"A dozen?"

Even Zhao Fusheng was stunned: "Wait, you didn't use all the salary and dividends I give you every year to buy houses, did you?"

He wasn't a stingy boss. The annual dividends and salaries for these close associates added up to tens of millions.

Since he relied on them to run the company, Zhao Fusheng certainly didn't mind paying them well.

"Yeah."

Dong Guoxiang chuckled: "After buying them, I rented them out."

"..."

Zhao Fusheng, Zheng Yao, and the others were all speechless.

"You're really... awesome!"

Zhao Fusheng gave Dong Guoxiang a thumbs-up.

Then he laughed and looked at Zheng Yao and Dong Chenxi: "Don't laugh, he really made a profit."

"Huh?"

Both were puzzled. He made a profit?

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Have you seen the housing price trend charts for the past few months? Property prices in the capital are bound to explode, and I estimate it won't be short-lived."

Then he pointed at Dong Guoxiang: "So his dozen or so houses could multiply in value several times."

"Then he'll be rich?"

Dong Chenxi and Zheng Yao were dumbfounded. After a long pause, they pointed at Dong Guoxiang.

"Pretty much."

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Houses that now cost over ten thousand per square meter could rise to around fifty thousand. How much do you think he'll make?"

"Oh my god!"

Both women were speechless.

They never expected that Dong Guoxiang, whom they had been mocking, had such skill.

His financial management was incredible!

"Treat us to a meal."

After a long while, Dong Guoxiang looked helplessly at the three people before him.

Yes, Zhao Fusheng was included.

"What exactly do you want?"

Dong Guoxiang asked helplessly.

"Nothing much."

Zheng Yao chuckled: "First, if you don't want us to meet your girlfriend, you'll treat us."

"Right."

Dong Chenxi nodded: "Second, if you don't want us to tell your girlfriend about your identity, you'll treat us."

"Yes."

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "You made so much money from buying houses, shouldn't you treat your friends to a meal?"

Dong Guoxiang felt like crying.

Damn it!

He had bought over a dozen houses, but the price hadn't reached fifty thousand yet, okay?

Besides, these guys all made more money than him, didn't they?

Especially Zhao Fusheng!

As the boss, was it really okay for him to say that?

But unfortunately, his resistance was futile.

Zheng Yao and Dong Chenxi had already started grabbing his clothes and wallet.

"Wait, it's the fifteenth of the first lunar month. Is it okay for us to go out?"

Zhao Fusheng was also a bit speechless as he looked at them.

"After today, do you think you'll have time, or will I?" Dong Chenxi glared at Zhao Fusheng: "I have to accompany Ye Jing to Hong Kong tomorrow. Are you sure you want to wait until I'm back for him to treat us?"

Hearing that, Zhao Fusheng immediately shut up: "Let's go. I'll call the bodyguards right now."

If the four of them went out together, they definitely needed bodyguards.

After all, these four were the core of the entire Future Group. If something happened to them, the loss would be too great.

After a flurry of activity, even Liu Yiming came running over.

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Fusheng asked Liu Yiming curiously.

"I heard you were going out, so I thought I'd come check." Liu Yiming smiled honestly. "Besides, it's better if I accompany you all."

"Oh, Xiao Liu, aren't you spending the holiday at home?" Dong Chenxi asked with a smile.

"My parents have gone back, and my sister has a schedule today. I'm just spending the holiday alone at home anyway."

"Alright, let's go. Manager Dong is treating us today, so we'll eat whatever we want."

Zheng Yao said with a smile.

"By the way, where's Bai Jie?"

Zhao Fusheng remembered something and asked Zheng Yao.

Zheng Yao shrugged: "She has something to do. Well, at this time, we'd better not disturb her."

Zhao Fusheng understood immediately and chuckled, dropping the subject.

Bai Jie never lacked men around her, at any time. Compared to others, Zhao Fusheng was less worried about her not having a boyfriend and more concerned about her health.

The group took a car to a restaurant.

They didn't deliberately choose anything upscale. Dong Chenxi recommended it, saying she had been there before with someone.

"It's actually quite good."

As they ate, Zheng Yao said with a smile.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Indeed, the taste is great."

Then he looked at Dong Chenxi and asked seemingly casually: "Who did you come with?"

It was just a casual question, but Dong Chenxi's face immediately turned red. After hesitating for a long time, she said: "Just... with a friend."

"A friend?"

Dong Guoxiang looked at her suspiciously.

He still remembered how this woman had gossiped about him earlier.

So Dong Guoxiang asked bluntly: "Male or female?"

Since things had come this far, he wasn't going to let her off.

"Yeah, male or female?" Zheng Yao also asked curiously.

Zhao Fusheng didn't say anything, but his smile was brighter than a fox that had stolen a chicken.

Such an amusing thing was rare.

Especially seeing Dong Chenxi's troubled expression, he inexplicably felt very happy.

Ah, should he give someone a call?

Dong Chenxi was already exasperated. What was wrong with these people today, actually caring about such trivial matters?
