Chapter 2073

"Brother!" Wang Wentian looked at Dagang with a smile on his lips and a hint of playfulness in his eyes, then said, "Since your wife is a train attendant, if I can't buy a soft sleeper ticket in the future, could I come to you for help?"

"Ah? Oh!" A look of astonishment appeared on Dagang's face, but he quickly recovered and hurriedly said, "No... no problem. If you need to buy tickets, you can come to me anytime."

"Then thank you in advance, brother." Wang Wentian waved his hand casually, "When I need to buy tickets, I will definitely come to you."

The Mercedes-Benz drove slowly past them, and Dagang's gaze followed the car closely.

The parking lot lights were not bright, and the Mercedes logo on the rear of the car looked blurry, but in Dagang's eyes, it felt exceptionally glaring.

At this moment, thinking back to the words he said while waiting to pick up the train, he felt as embarrassed now as he had felt smug then. His face burned, as if he had been slapped hard across the cheek.

"You've encountered a true god this time." The woman looked at her husband with a helpless expression and sighed softly, "In the future, you should really change that bad habit of yours—always wanting to show off and brag. When you smugly mock others, you have actually become the clown in their eyes."

Dagang didn't speak and walked silently toward the parking area. He knew very well in his heart that when Wang Wentian said he would come to him for tickets, he was actually showing off to him; it was just that the other person's way of showing off was much more sophisticated than his.

As for whether he would really come to him to buy tickets, wasn't it obvious? The man was driving a "Tiger-Head Benz"—how could he possibly be unable to buy a soft sleeper ticket? Moreover, he hadn't even asked what their names were; he had never intended to ask him to buy tickets at all.

……………………

The Mercedes-Benz drove steadily. The two little ones, Yang Xiaowu and Yang Xiaowen, were looking left and right, touching this and poking that, feeling curious about everything.

Yang Quan sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the night view of Jingcheng outside the window: "Old Wang, I've really troubled you this time."

"Since you're here, don't say such nonsense in the future; I'm too lazy to listen."

Wang Wentian saw the two children and his sister-in-law through the rearview mirror, and he felt irritated, but since the old lady was sitting in the back, he couldn't say anything.

"Auntie, I have to go on a business trip with my boss the day after tomorrow, and I should be back in about half a month. When I return, I'll take you to the hospital to have your eyes checked. Cataracts can be cured with surgery."

The old lady waved her hand and said with a smile, "I'm already at this age and have been blind for many years. Why bother with treatment? It would just be a waste of money."

"I've already told my boss that you've come to Jingcheng."

Wang Wentian grabbed the cigarettes from the glove box, took one out with his mouth, and tossed the pack to Yang Quan.

"After we return from Japan, we will arrange jobs for Yang Quan and your sister-in-law. It won't be a problem for the two of them to earn over a thousand in wages a month. By the time you have your cataract surgery, their combined monthly wages will be more than enough to cover it."

"How much money?"

Before the old lady and Feng Xiaojuan could react, Yang Quan asked in disbelief.

"My sister-in-law and I can earn over a thousand in wages?"

"Yes!" Wang Wentian nodded, "You know about the Yugong Group, right? That's my boss's company. For all the enterprises under its umbrella—the winery, the electronics factory, the beverage factory, and the development company—the basic salary plus bonuses for ordinary employees averages nearly six hundred a month. If they work a few days of overtime, it's over six hundred."

Yang Quan and Feng Xiaojuan were shocked. They knew that the salary for a section-level employee at the township government was only a little over two hundred, and the township head earned less than five hundred. How could an employee at a private enterprise earn six hundred a month?

Wang Wentian glanced at Yang Quan, who was still in shock, and sighed inwardly. If Old Yang hadn't been disabled, even if he hadn't done well in the military and had retired, if he had come to work by the boss's side, his salary would certainly be much higher than his own.

"Let's see what kind of work the boss arranges for you. Different jobs have different salaries, but it will definitely not be lower than five hundred a month."

"Old Wang!" Yang Quan suddenly asked, "I heard you previously worked at a security company?"

"Yes!" Wang Wentian said, "The security company was started by my boss and his childhood friend. Do you want to go to the security company?"

Yang Quan hesitated and said, "I was just thinking that I don't know how to do anything else if I go elsewhere. At a security company, I could still do something within my capabilities."

"Don't worry about the work," Wang Wentian laughed, "Our boss has great respect for soldiers. The security company was set up specifically to arrange jobs for us retired soldiers.

Besides, in the next two years, our boss plans to provide at least fifteen hundred positions for military martyrs' families in Jingcheng alone, so the boss definitely has a plan for your job arrangement."

Chatting along the way, they arrived at the Jinwan Hotel. As soon as they entered, Feng Xiaojuan looked at the magnificent hotel lobby and the floor tiles that reflected their figures, and she didn't dare to take a step.

Yang Quan frowned, "You arranged for us to stay at this hotel?"

"Yes!" Wang Wentian said with a smile, "This is a star-rated hotel. I want you, your sister-in-law, and Auntie to enjoy yourselves."

Yang Quan didn't say anything; he turned around and started to leave, "I don't have the fortune to stay in a place like this."

Wang Wentian grabbed Yang Quan and said with a grin, "Are you afraid I can't afford the room rate?"

Yang Quan snorted, "I'm afraid you'll be drinking the northwest wind after paying the bill."

Feng Xiaojuan also persuaded, "Wentian, let's not stay here. Finding an ordinary guesthouse will be fine."

Wang Wentian had originally wanted to tease Yang Quan, but since his sister-in-law spoke, he could only say:

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, it doesn't cost money to stay here."

"Ah?" Feng Xiaojuan asked incredulously, "It doesn't cost money to stay at a hotel?"

"My boss's surname is Zhou, and the owner of this hotel is also surnamed Zhou. They are family," Wang Wentian explained, "So, you don't have to pay to stay here."

Just then, a woman of about thirty-five or thirty-six with great poise stepped out of the elevator and walked quickly toward Wang Wentian upon seeing him.

"Mr. Wang, you've picked up your guests."

Her name was Qiao Yunshi, the general manager of the Jinwan Hotel and an assistant brought over from Wanwan by Zhou Qianyi.

"I have!" Wang Wentian asked again, "Have the rooms been arranged?"

"They have!" Qiao Yunshi turned and walked toward the elevator, "Follow me."

Wang Wentian was Zhou Andong's bodyguard. When he came over in the evening to find her and arrange for several people to stay at the hotel, with all expenses charged to Zhou Andong's account, how could Qiao Yunshi not take it seriously? That was why she had been waiting and insisted on arranging it personally to be at ease.

The group got into the elevator. Not only the two children and Feng Xiaojuan, but even Yang Quan was riding an elevator for the first time, feeling it was very novel.

Arriving at the eighth floor, the elevator doors opened. Qiao Yunshi led them to the door of 8010 and took out a key to open it.

When Yang Quan and Feng Xiaojuan walked in, their mouths dropped open. The room was very large and decorated very luxuriously.

Qiao Yunshi introduced, "Mr. Wang, this is our hotel's luxury suite. This is the bathroom, the shower room is here, and the master bedroom has two beds.

This is the study, the room next to it is also a bedroom with one bed, and this is the living room. The refrigerator has mineral water, drinks, and snacks; you can eat them if you're hungry..."
