Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Meeting an Old Friend Again

Chen Dashan nodded noncommittally; the old man’s words were indeed correct. Having someone to back him up was certainly better than going it alone.

Back home, Qi Shuzhu knocked on the door.

"You’re here?"

Qi Shuzhu threw herself into Chen Dashan’s arms. It was obvious she was anxious, having just taken a shower, her hair still damp.

"Hmph, going with you to Furong County was worse than not going at all. You didn’t even bother to look for me." Qi Shuzhu pouted, feeling wronged.

Chen Dashan’s big hands roamed freely over Qi Shuzhu’s back, soft and smooth.

Qi Shuzhu lifted her hair and looked at Chen Dashan quietly, "Do I look sexy in this outfit? I bought it especially for you."

A white nightgown, like cicada wings, translucent and revealing.

After two hours of tossing and turning, they finally fell asleep.

The next day, Chen Dashan brought Qi Shuzhu back to Furong County to Chenwang Pharmaceutical.

Just at the entrance, they saw a slim, pretty girl standing there, looking around and peering inside.

"Who are you looking for?" The security guard walked out and asked unkindly.

The girl asked politely, "Uncle, I’m looking for Chen Dashan. Is he here?"

The security guard waved his hand, "President Chen isn’t here. You’ve come to the wrong place. President Chen has more than one company and other businesses too. He seldom comes here. If you want to find him, I’d suggest going to the hotel where he usually stays."

The girl nodded with a trace of disappointment and said thank you.

Chen Dashan got out of the car and approached the girl from behind, finding her increasingly familiar.

"Yang Qianqian?" Chen Dashan called tentatively.

The girl turned around, her face lighting up with joy at the sight of Chen Dashan, "Dashan, is that you?"

"What a thing to say, of course it’s me. What brings you here? Weren’t you living elsewhere?" Chen Dashan was delighted; this was an old classmate of his.

An old high school classmate and his desk mate, who was also the class beauty, exceptionally pretty.

With a delicate appearance and a tall, slender figure, she was the epitome of a great beauty.

Yang Qianqian hesitated, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "I had something to discuss with you. Are you available?"

"Of course, come on, let’s talk inside." Chen Dashan led Yang Qianqian to the office.

After they sat down, Chen Dashan poured a cup of water for Yang Qianqian, "So, what brings you to me?"

Yang Qianqian held the cup in her hands but didn’t answer directly. Instead, she said, "After high school graduation, I went to college in the provincial city, and after graduation, I stayed there to work. Now I’ve come back and I want to find a job at home."

Chen Dashan nodded, "That’s good. Finding a job at home has its benefits. It’s just different from the provincial city. What kind of job are you looking for? I can help."

Three years of being desk mates meant Chen Dashan would certainly lend a helping hand.

Yang Qianqian felt a little shy, lowering her head, "Actually, my work is in pharmaceuticals. My mom told me there’s a new pharmaceutical factory in our county and suggested I try there. If I didn’t settle down outside, I’d eventually come back since you know my mom’s health isn’t great. So I thought of coming back to work."

Chen Dashan nodded but didn’t speak, knowing Yang Qianqian had more to say.

"My mom also told me the company’s boss is named Chen Dashan. I was stunned, thinking it was a common name, but after checking, I realized it was really you. I never expected while you were at college with Liu Lili..." She covered her mouth mid-sentence.

Chen Dashan was stunned; he had never mentioned this to Yang Qianqian. How did she know?

"It’s okay, it’s all in the past. Go on." Chen Dashan smiled faintly.

"So I came to see if you were here, and here you are." Yang Qianqian covered her mouth again after speaking.

Chen Dashan laughed, "Yes, quite a coincidence. To be honest, I don’t usually come here, but today I had some business. I didn’t expect us to run into each other. It’s been six or seven years since we last met, right?"

Yang Qianqian nodded, "Yes, at least seven years. We haven’t met since high school graduation. We had some high school reunions, but you never came."

There was a hint of complaint in her tone.

Chen Dashan smiled wryly. Indeed, he had been invited to reunions, but back then, he was dating Liu Lili. He had to work part-time during holidays to make money, and Liu Lili didn’t want him to go, so he never attended those reunions.

"There were things to be done, so I couldn’t go."

"Do you remember when we were seatmates in high school? You always scored the highest, and I never beat you in exams." When Yang Qianqian spoke, there was a touch of nostalgia.

High school days were truly memorable.

"Are you looking to work here? Which position are you interested in?" Chen Dashan asked.

Yang Qianqian quickly said, "I’m good at the pharmaceutical department, but if it’s difficult, I can take other positions."

"Not difficult at all. You’re a top student from a prestigious university, and I’d be lucky to have you. I’ll get HR to set up your entry right away." Chen Dashan picked up the phone and called the HR department.

After familiarizing Yang Qianqian with the place and completing the formalities, she was set to start in three days.

"Dashan, thank you. Your pharmaceutical company is more advanced than any I’ve seen outside, and I’ve researched your products. They’re the best among similar types. Without you, I would have started from the bottom." Yang Qianqian was extremely grateful.

Though Chen Dashan’s pharmaceutical company was in the county, both its scale and products were top-notch, even superior to Yang Qianqian’s previous company.

Without Chen Dashan, Yang Qianqian couldn’t have secured a managerial position like the one she had before.

"No problem, mainly because of your capability!" Chen Dashan smiled.

Yang Qianqian nodded, "Well then, let me treat you to a meal."

"Sure, it’s been a long time. Let’s catch up."

They chose a seafood restaurant.

After chatting for a while, Yang Qianqian suddenly asked, "Dashan, are you married?"

Her expression was very serious.

"Married? Of course not. If I got married, I’d definitely invite you, and you’d have to bring a gift."

Yang Qianqian laughed, "You’ve become more cheerful than you used to be."

In her memory, Chen Dashan rarely spoke because of his family situation.

Chen Dashan took a sip of water, "Thinking back, you took care of me a lot during school. Your house was close to the school, and you went home to stay. You had two dairy cows and always brought me milk. Without your milk, I’d have been malnourished. Do you still have those cows?"

Yang Qianqian laughed, "Of course not, it’s been so many years. But my mom now raises a few pigs and some sheep."

Back in school, Yang Qianqian often brought milk for Chen Dashan.
