Chapter 11
The next morning, Fade felt relaxed. He didn't have to squeeze with the crowd on the bus. Instead, Fade rode in his wife's luxury sports car to work together.
Of course, it was still impossible for them to enter the company together.
Just like the first day, Quin let Fade off a few hundred meters away from the company and asked him to walk to the company.
Fade was in a good mood after the reconciliation with Quin last night. He was carrying a smile all day. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
As it was getting near to the end of the day, Fade, who was preparing to pack his things to go home, received a call from an unknown number.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Fade?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very respectful.
"I am. May I know who are you-" Fade was a little confused.
"I'm Harry Xu. I would like to invite Mr. Chen for dinner." The man said excitedly.
"Harry Xu?" Hearing this name, Fade was unable to come to his senses for a short while.
The person on the other side of the phone sensed the confusion in Fade's voice and quickly added, "I'm the old man you saved in the mall yesterday."
After he heard this, Fade came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Oh, Mr. Xu. I remember you now."
"Mr. Chen, I wanted to invite you to have a meal to express my gratitude," Harry said.
Fade replied, "Mr. Xu, there’s no need to do so. It was nothing much."
"Mr. Chen, you might deem what you have done as a small deed, but for me, you've saved my life. I have to at least treat you to a meal anyhow. If Mr. Chen is not free today, you can pick any other time." Harry sincerely said.
At this point, Fade could only agree to the invitation, "In that case, let's have a meal together after work today."
"Sure, 6:30 in the evening at Grand Duke Hotel, are you okay with it?" Harry asked.
"Grand Duke Hotel!" The name sounded a little familiar to Fade. After a while, he finally recalled his coworkers often brought up this hotel in their conversation. It was a well-known five-star hotel in Bay City. Of course, it was also very expensive. Working men with average pay could never afford to have a meal at such a hotel.
Having Mr.Xu invite him to such a luxurious hotel slightly surprised Fade.
However, Fade was only surprised, nothing more than that. He did not say anything else and continued, "Sure, I will be there by then."
Hanging up the phone, Fade looked at his watch. There's not much time left from the end of the working hours. Thus, Fade took the initiative to call Quin and informed her that he had to go out for dinner after work today and would not go home right after work.
After work, Fade left the company and took a cab to Grand Duke Hotel.
As soon as Fade walked through the entrance of the hotel, a waiter dressed in a formal suit came up to him with a smile, "Are you, Mr. Fade? Please come in."
"Do you know me?" Fade looked at the waiter in surprise.
The waiter smiled and said, "Mr. Xu asked me to greet you at the entrance. Mr. Xu has already booked a place and is now waiting for your arrival."
"..." Listening to the waiter, Fade couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This caused him to be slightly intrigued by Mr. Xu's identity.
Mr. Xu did not only invite him to have dinner at Grand Duke Hotel but was also able to arrange people to welcome him at the entrance. With such wealth, Harry probably was not an ordinary person.
Fade then followed the waiter into the hotel and came to a well-decorated private room.
"Mr. Chen, you're finally here!" Seeing Fade, Harry immediately got up and greeted him with a smile.
Fade shook hands with Mr. Xu and immediately said, "Mr. Xu, you are too polite. You can just call me Chen."
"Alright then, I'll call you Chen then." Mr. Xu smiled and invited Fade to take a seat.
"It's time to serve," Mr. Xu said to the waiter.
Soon, the dishes were served. Fade looked at the numerous delicate dishes which came up to more than twenty of them - all of which were perfect with appetizing color, aroma, and taste. This further confirmed Mr. Xu's identity as a wealthy man.
"Chen, thank you so much." Mr. Xu took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and said, "To express my gratitude, I would like to propose a toast to you, Chen."
Fade quickly said, "Mr. Xu, your body has just recovered. You'd better not consume any alcohol."
Mr. Xu paused for a moment and then with a smile, he replied, "Well, since you said so, I will propose a toast to you with tea instead of wine."
After that, Mr. Xu poured a cup of tea, gave Fade a toast, and then drank it up.
Fade also picked up his glass and drank his tea.
After drinking, Mr. Xu served Fade with some food and thanked him once again.
When the atmosphere seemed right, Mr. Xu put down his glass, looked at Fade, and asked, "Chen, I wonder where you're working now."
Fade didn't intend to hide anything and said directly, "I'm a doctor in the medical department of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc."
"What?" Mr. Xu frowned, "Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's medical department, this -Chen, with your medical skills, it’s such a waste for you to work there!"
Fade smiled and replied, "No, I am very happy with my current job."
"Chen, may I know if you're considering a change of job?" Harry asked.
"Ah, this -" Fade couldn't come up with an answer for a second.
Harry continued, "Well, Chen. I've seen a lot of doctors and even visited doctors abroad several times. I've spent a lot of money to treat my illness, but the effect is poor."
"I didn't expect that I would be coincidentally treated by you yesterday in the mall. I got so much better. When I went back for a checkup, even the doctor was very surprised." Harry continued, "So, I would like to hire you to be my private doctor."
"A private doctor?" Fade didn't expect Mr. Xu to make such an offer to him.
Mr. Xu quickly added, "Of course, I can guarantee that you will be compensated fairly. In terms of salary, 100,000 Yuan a month. Also, I will provide you with food and accommodation. Chen, what do you think?"
"Ah Fade was genuinely surprised. He didn't expect Mr. Xu to offer such a great package. To be honest, Fade's monthly salary as a doctor in the medical department was not more than 5,000 Yuan.
However, money was just a number for Fade. It was not something he would pay much attention to.
Moreover, Fade had a beautiful wife in Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, even though they were only husband and wife in name.
As soon as this thought came up, Fade shook his head and said to Mr. Xu, "Mr. Xu, I appreciate your kindness but I am very happy with my current work and I'm not thinking of changing my job for the time being."
"Chen, is offered not up to your standard? What kind of requirements do you have? Feel free to bring it up." Mr. Xu said hurriedly.
Fade smiled gently, "Mr. Xu, this is not a matter of compensation, but my personal choice."
Mr. Xu was slightly disappointed, but he regained his composure immediately. Mr. Xu said, "It is my mistake. I'm too anxious. I'm really sorry. Let's not talk about work. We'd better continue to eat up. This meal is just to express my gratitude to you, Chen. Believe me, I didn't mean anything else."
