Chapter 518: Introducing New Shareholders
As you exit the elevator, a rockery and flowing water scenery occupying an entire wall comes into view.
Everyone in the elevator was instantly infected by the solemn atmosphere and fell silent.
The waiter led them to the reserved room. More than 20 people walked through the lobby, trying their best not to make any noise.
"We're here. This is the largest private room in our restaurant. Please come in." The waiter stood at the door with elegant manners.
Xu Weiwei and several big guys took the lead and went in, but there was some discussion about the choice of seats.
"Miss, please take a seat first." Zhang Peter said, pointing to the main seat opposite the door.
There were three people present who were older than her, and some were even grandfathers. Xu Weiwei felt embarrassed about this. So she suggested that everyone sit according to their age, and let Mr. Huang, who was already 72 years old, sit in the middle.
"Ah~" Mr. Huang shook his head. "In the professional field, you are our teacher. At work, you are our boss. There is nothing inappropriate about you being in this position."
"Yes, sit down. Or do you think we just like to take advantage of our age?"
Xu Weiwei compromised, walked to the middle and prepared to sit down, and touched the chair next to him and said, "There will be another person coming later, so keep this seat for him."
"okay."
No one paid much attention to it. The three elders sat on the left and right sides of Xu Weiwei, and the rest were more casual, sitting wherever they liked.
Only Zhang Peter, who knew the truth in advance, glanced at the empty seat opposite and snorted.
In just a minute or two, the waiter confirmed who was the boss. He walked towards Xu Weiwei with a smile, bent down and placed the menu in front of her.
"Hello, ma'am. Jasmine, black tea, green tea, lemonade, what would you like to drink?"
"Jasmine."
"Okay, do you want me to introduce the menu?"
"Please introduce yourself to me."
"Today's specials in our restaurant are spring fish and mackerel, as well as the seasonal spiny cabbage buns..."
Xu Weiwei listened to her and picked up a pen to mark on the menu: "One serving of clam stewed eggs per person, half a roasted pigeon per person, one serving of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall per person, braised pork, eight-treasure duck, braised winter bamboo shoots... and two servings of the special dishes you just mentioned."
"In addition to these, if you see anything you want to eat, just order it. There are also drinks, so don't hesitate." Xu Weiwei closed the menu and looked up and said.
The three adults all waved their hands and said "enough", but the young man was not pretending at all and was rummaging through the electronic menu, looking for what he wanted to drink.
"Boss, can I have some wine?" A boy raised his right hand high.
"Wine?" Xu raised his eyebrows slightly. "Of course, we can, but we won't be responsible for moving you back if you're drunk."
“Ah——? No! So heartless?!”
Everyone laughed.
After fifteen minutes, the waiters started serving the dishes one after another, and the two people sitting at the door also consciously acted as waiters.
The door of the box opened again. The two thought it was someone delivering food and had already stretched out their hands, but they were stunned when they saw who was coming.
"Ah, you're here." Xu Weiwei glanced at the seat next to her: "I saved a seat for you."
"Thank you."
Finn was dressed in a suit and tie, with his bangs parted to the sides, revealing his full forehead, and his black leather shoes were so shiny that they reflected light. He stood there with his hands hanging naturally, as if he was not attending a dinner party, but a business negotiation meeting.
Everyone's eyes were on him, not blinking, in a daze.
They were dressed up to eat at a place like this, but in comparison, they looked so young, both in terms of clothing and aura.
Many people unconsciously adjust their sitting posture and put their legs together.
Someone recognized Finn and their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
You have to know that Finn was a prominent figure in Dawn University back then. Everyone who was in the same class as him or a few years older than him knew him.
Half of Xu Weiwei's team graduated from the Medical College of Chenxi University, so they were naturally familiar with him. But they never expected that he could be connected with their boss.
After the accident, I couldn't help but feel doubtful.
What is he doing here? Could it be that——!
More than one person thought of this, and when they looked at each other, they saw the same shock as if they had just eaten a melon.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The boss is the eldest daughter of the Seaforth family, and Finn is the eldest son of the Wolfhard family. They are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
It’s just that – the age difference seems a bit too big…I wonder if her brother knows…
Just when everyone was thinking about it, Xu Weiwei stood up.
"Actually, I have something very important to announce to you all today."
Everyone turned around to look over there, and the person in charge of the private room was very considerate and temporarily stopped the waiter who was serving the dishes outside the door.
"The management structure of the research center has been very simple since its establishment. I am the executive director, the general manager, the dean, and the shareholder." Xu Weiwei joked to herself, spreading her hands.
Others laughed too.
"Of course, the support of many people is indispensable. For example, Dr. Zhang, who has been fighting alongside me from the beginning, Mr. Huang and Mr. Wang, who have given me great support, and everyone who joined later."
"But there was another person who played a very important role." Xu Weiwei changed the subject. "If it weren't for him, I'm not sure the research center would exist now."
The topic suddenly became so serious that all the members turned serious and looked at Xu Weiwei intently.
"Artemisia, licorice, forsythia, coptis root... these ten Chinese herbs are already very familiar to everyone. In the past six months, our work has revolved around them. In the end, we also received honors because of them."
"And these precious samples were provided by this gentleman." Xu Weiwei raised his arm and pointed his palm straight in front of him.
Finn stood there calmly, with his hands hanging naturally, allowing people with different expressions to look at him.
"His name is Finn Wolfhard. He and I went to the same university. He is four years older than me and we are also good friends in private."
A gleam of light flashed in Finn's eyes, but quickly disappeared.
"While focusing on his studies, he was also interested in medicine. He has always supported our work, including providing the 123 samples this time."
Some people opened their mouths in surprise, while others took a deep breath.
Xu Weiwei looked at everyone's reactions and felt that she had laid enough groundwork, so she began to get to the point.
“In consideration of his substantial contribution to the institute and his close attention to our work, I have sincerely invited him to invest in the research center and become a new manager. I warmly welcome him!”
Xu Weiwei took the lead in clapping, and the others soon followed suit. The room was filled with thunderous applause.
