Chapter 529: 525. Are you the daughter-in-law of the Richest Person in China? (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)
"Fine, since you're considered a wealthy person now, we won't compete with you," Kong Jie said generously.
"That's right, Xiao Lu, why don't you treat us to a good meal?" someone joked.
They didn't actually want to take advantage of her; it was just a casual remark.
However, Liu Lu took it to heart. Indeed, this could be considered a farewell dinner, and since she really wasn't short on money now, she decided to treat them to a good meal.
Liu Lu smiled and said, "Fine, I'll book a place and send you the information. You can all come over then. I've already spoken to the higher-ups; as long as it's not too busy, someone will come to take over your shifts."
This was the first time Liu Lu had used her privileges for a dinner gathering.
After saying this, Liu Lu packed her things and left first. She needed to drop her belongings off at home before going to book the meal.
After Liu Lu left, Sun Lin asked curiously, "What exactly does Lulu's family do? I've long felt that even the director seems to be trying to curry favor with her."
Everyone shook their heads. Liu Lu was usually very tight-lipped and hadn't said anything; the only one who might know the situation was Wang Jiajia.
But at this moment, Wang Jiajia didn't say anything either.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the nurses' station got off work on time, and the higher-ups had specifically arranged for people to take over their work, which made Sun Lin and the others even more curious.
When they arrived at the address Liu Lu had sent them and saw the luxuriously extravagant decor, they were all stunned.
"We didn't come to the wrong place, did we?" Sun Lin asked, feeling a bit uncertain. They certainly knew this place—it was one of the most expensive restaurants in Shanghai, and it was said that a single meal cost over ten thousand yuan.
They had only ever peered at the entrance before, fantasizing about being able to go inside for a big meal, but if they were really asked to spend their own money to eat there, they would never be willing to do it.
Just as they were still hesitating, Liu Lu walked out. Seeing them, a smile appeared on her face. "You're here. Let's go in together."
"Xiao Lu, is it really here?" Kong Jie asked, feeling a bit uncertain.
Liu Lu smiled and said, "Yes, it's here. Didn't you say you wanted to eat something good?"
"No, Liu Lu, I was just joking," the person who had first suggested eating something good said, suddenly anxious.
She had truly been joking at the time; she didn't want a single meal to cost Liu Lu so much money.
Liu Lu smiled and said, "This is also my way of thanking everyone for your help over the years. It's fine, let's go. I really am not short on money now."
"Let's just forget it, Xiao Lu. It's really a bit too expensive. If you have the heart, we can go eat somewhere else," Kong Jie said.
Just at this moment, Wang Jiajia suddenly spoke up softly, "My sister really isn't short on money."
"Jiajia, even if Xiao Lu isn't short on money, she shouldn't spend it like this. How much money would it take to be this wasteful?" Kong Jie's tone was a bit stern.
Wang Jiajia said, "But there probably isn't anyone in Huaxia wealthier than my sister's family."
"What did you say?" Kong Jie didn't seem to hear clearly.
"Um, my sister's husband is named Zhang Sicheng," Wang Jiajia said.
"Yeah, we know that. We've even met him and eaten together before."
"My sister's father-in-law is named Zhang Ran," Wang Jiajia said again.
"What does that have to do with her father-in-law? And if this is her father-in-law's money, she should spend it even less; this will make things difficult for Xiao Lu," Kong Jie's face stiffened.
However, some people were quick to react. Sun Lin was stunned for a moment before suddenly saying, "The Richest Person in China, Zhang Ran?"
Liu Lu knew she couldn't hide it anymore, or rather, she hadn't intended to keep hiding it when she invited everyone here.
So, hearing this, she nodded.
Sun Lin was completely stunned, and the others who understood were also dumbfounded. They never expected that Liu Lu's family was actually the Richest Person in China!
Kong Jie, however, still didn't understand and asked with a frown, "What richest person?"
"The Richest Person in China, Kong Jie. Don't you watch the news?" Wang Jiajia said.
Kong Jie said, "Why would I watch the news for no reason? And this has nothing to do with us..."
Having said that, she finally reacted completely.
"Let's go. Now you know I'm not short on money, right? No need to save money for me," Liu Lu said with a smile.
She then led everyone inside to a luxurious private room. By the time Liu Lu and the others arrived, the food began to be served continuously.
As dish after dish of exquisite food was placed on the table, Sun Lin and the others finally came back to their senses.
"Liu Lu, is this all real? Are you really the daughter-in-law of the Richest Person in China?" someone still couldn't quite believe it.
Liu Lu nodded and said, "As it stands now, that is indeed the case."
"Wow, Liu Lu, you hid it so well! How could you still be working with us when you're so rich?" The scene suddenly became lively.
After all, Liu Lu was someone they had worked with for many years, so even though her status had changed, everyone didn't feel any sense of restraint for the time being.
Just like that, while eating and chatting, the shock and excitement everyone initially felt slowly calmed down.
"Xiao Lu, so are you planning to be a full-time housewife from now on?" Kong Jie asked.
Liu Lu said, "No, I don't want to be a full-time housewife."
"Then what are you planning to do?"
"My father-in-law asked me to acquire a plastic surgery hospital, so I'm planning to open a hospital," Liu Lu said.
Once these words were spoken, everyone was speechless!
Look at that; that's what a rich person is. When they lose their job, they just acquire a hospital to be the boss.
"Sister, do you think I could go over there?" Wang Jiajia suddenly said.
Liu Lu smiled and said, "If you can come, of course I'd welcome it."
"Really? Sister, if you say so, I'll resign tomorrow," Wang Jiajia said immediately.
"Then resign. It'll be just right for you to accompany me to look at some hospital situations," Liu Lu said with a smile.
Seeing this situation, the others suddenly felt a stir in their hearts. This was the daughter-in-law of the Richest Person in China; following her, they certainly wouldn't be treated poorly.
"Lulu, what about me? Can I do it?" Sun Lin asked with some anticipation. If she could follow by Liu Lu's side, it would certainly be much better than now.
The others also looked at Liu Lu one after another, the meaning quite clear.
Liu Lu hadn't expected them all to have such thoughts and was slightly stunned for a moment.
In the end, Liu Lu still hadn't truly realized the difference in her current status. Zhang Ran had become the Richest Person in China, and she, as the daughter-in-law of the Richest Person in China, also possessed enormous influence.
"Of course that's all fine, but have you all thought it through? I don't even have a shadow of a plan on my end yet," Liu Lu said.
"It's fine, we'll help you together. It just so happens I know some people at plastic surgery hospitals, so I can ask around about the situation," Sun Lin said immediately.
Liu Lu hadn't expected that what was supposed to be a farewell dinner would turn into poaching; these were all nurses who had passed through layers of selection at a major hospital, and their capabilities were beyond doubt.
Now that she had taken the whole lot of them, she wondered what the hospital director would think upon finding out.
