Return Of The Soldier King

Ye Fei despised rich second generation kids like Chen Qun and was reluctant to go, but seeing Zhao Hao"s hesitation, he and Lin Qingwan eventually agreed.

However, they did not go out to a restaurant, but had a casual meal in the campus cafeteria.

It was around six o"clock in the evening when they arrived and the cafeteria was full of people having their dinners.

Chen Qun went to the counter and bought food for everyone, soon returning with a heavily laden tray.

After he said a few words of apology to Zhao Hao, they dug in.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Ye Fei and Lin Qingwan didn"t really care and were ready to leave as soon as they finished eating, but Zhao Hao lowered his head and did not eat anything, occasionally looking up as if he wanted to say something, but couldn"t.

Lin Qingwan rolled her eyes at him and coldly said, "Zhao Hao, you are a man. If you want to say something, just say it."

Lin Qingwan"s words were cruel because today they had helped him again, but still, just like the last time, he didn"t even thank anyone.

Zhao Hao"s face turned even redder. Hearing Chen Qun"s stifled chuckle, he felt he should not have come there.

Feeling that he was being insulted by these rich people again, he abruptly stood up, ready to run away.

Ye Fei put his hand on Zhao Hao"s shoulder.

"Zhao Hao, look at me!"

Ye Fei held him until he met his gaze, and slowly said, "Zhao Hao, everyone has their own life, everyone has their own way. I don"t want to preach to you because, whether you are weak or self-abased, it is your choice, but don"t you... don"t you feel lonely?"

Zhao Hao"s body suddenly trembled.

To tell the truth, he was not afraid of poverty, not afraid of fatigue, not even afraid of the contemptuous eyes of society, but only afraid of loneliness.

Every night, Zhao Hao lay in bed and felt he was alone in the world. Endless sorrow poured into his heart and his eyes filled with tears.

Over the years, Zhao Hao had always been alone. He did everything by himself.

He didn"t have a friend, let alone a girlfriend, and he didn"t even have anyone to talk to.

This crushing loneliness made Zhao Hao almost go crazy.

"I understand you!"

Ye Fei sighed and his eyes were filled with sincerity.　

As a sniper, he was quite lonely. He had a very deep understanding of loneliness. He knew the pressure and pain this poor boy endured every day.

"You should go out and make friends. You should be happy in university. You"re just wasting your time this way," Ye Fei said.

"But... I"m poor," Zhao Hao finally said in a small voice.

"Poverty is not an incurable disease. As long as you have hands and feet, you can make money. There are many poor people in the world, but how many are self-pitying like you?" Ye Fei said firmly.

Zhao Hao was still hesitant. "But..."

Ye Fei sighed. Zhao Hao was drowning in self-pity, but Ye Fei thought of a plan to help him.

His eyes fell on Lin Qingwan.

"Why are you staring at me?" she muttered discontentedly.

Ye Fei leaned in to her ear and whispered, "Manager Lin, we should help him, shouldn"t we?" .

"Ye Fei... I"m telling you right now: if something bad happens, I"m slashing your pay," she replied.

"Rest a.s.sured, Manager Lin, I believe in the guy"s character," Ye Fei smiled and nodded at Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao was very confused. He couldn"t hear what they were saying but it seemed like they were talking about him.

Lin Qingwan cleared her throat and said with a serious expression, "Zhao Hao, you should know that I am the chairwoman and CEO of the Ya Lai Group. I have an internship opportunity available in the company. Would you like to consider it?"

Zhao Hao was as still as a block of wood. Finally, he murmured, "What do you mean?"

"Zhao Hao, you are really silly," Chen Qun excitedly said. "Miss Lin is giving you a chance to work. You must have heard of the Ya Lai Group. I tell you, go work for Miss Lin and you absolutely can be successful. You"re lucky, man. I"m jealous!"

Zhao Hao did not see this coming. "But..."

Lin Qingwan thought for a while and continued, "Zhao Hao, because it is an internship position, I can"t give you a very high wage. During the internship period, your salary shall be two thousand Yuan. After you graduate, your salary will increase as appropriate. Rest a.s.sured, as long as you work earnestly, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Two thousand Yuan!"

Zhao Hao gasped. For most people, two thousand Yuan was not much, but for Zhao Hao, it was life-changing. With that money, he could buy a lot of necessities for his rural family.

After all, it was very difficult to find a good job. Many companies would recruit students, but by the end of the internship, they would find some excuse to fire them and not pay them or pay them less than was due. Such wicked enterprises were everywhere.

"I..."

Zhao Hao stood up again and bowed to Lin Qingwan and Ye Fei deeply. "Thank you... Thank you! You are the best people I have met in this city. You are my benefactors!"

Zhao Hao"s voice was low, but his tone was sincere and he seemed determined to turn his life around.

"So if you come to my company, what are you going to do?"

Lin Qingwan needed an exact answer.

"Manager Lin... I will certainly work hard in the future!" Zhao Hao said sincerely.

Ye Fei laughed and patted his shoulder. "We will be colleagues from now on!"
