"Xiao Chen, you've put a lot of effort into building such a large farm, haven't you?" Zhou Shuisheng smiled.
"Yes," Chen Xuan nodded thoughtfully, memories flooding back from last year to this year. It was only after personally getting involved in the farm that he realized how much more he needed to learn about agriculture.
Fortunately, with the help of Old Xin and Jin He, the Watermelon Demon, his farm situation had greatly improved. With the farm now on the right track, Chen Xuan felt increasingly motivated.
Zhou Shuisheng smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Chen, you are truly talented. Both Xiao Zhi and I have a very high opinion of you. I’ve tasted the watermelons you grew; they are indeed delicious."
Zhou Shuisheng continued to praise Chen Xuan extensively. Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart and looked at Zhou Shuisheng in surprise.
"President Zhou, do you have something to tell me?" Chen Xuan sensed that Zhou Shuisheng had something important to discuss.
Could it be that he wanted to offer him some benefits in return? This seemed to be the most likely scenario in Chen Xuan's mind.
"You guessed it," Zhou Shuisheng nodded calmly. "Xiao Chen, your Niu Huang saved one of my elders, and just a few days ago, you saved Xiao Zhi and my son. By all accounts, you are my benefactor."
"Today, I am here to repay that kindness." A hint of authority appeared on Zhou Shuisheng's face as he gestured around them. "Xiao Chen, you are quite impressive—a true talent. This place is too small for you. Come work with me; I’ll offer you a managerial position with a starting salary of one hundred thousand, plus year-end bonuses. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Zhou Shuisheng looked at Chen Xuan with confidence. He believed that a salary of one hundred thousand and a managerial position would be enough to attract the young talents of Jianghe City. With bonuses included, few across the country could remain indifferent.
This was Zhou Shuisheng's new proposal after just a moment of contemplation!
He was confident. He believed that Chen Xuan would absolutely be unable to refuse such generous terms!
Sure enough, upon hearing such favorable conditions, a look of shock appeared on Chen Xuan's face.
Very good. Zhou Shuisheng felt a sense of pride in his heart; shock was exactly what he wanted. Accept my invitation, Xiao Chen, and let’s conquer the world together.
Zhou Shuisheng smiled faintly, already planning what position to arrange for Chen Xuan.
Across from him, Chen Xuan stared at Zhou Shuisheng in a daze. He had thought that Zhou Shuisheng was here to repay him, but he never expected that Zhou Shuisheng would do so in this manner.
An annual salary of one hundred thousand, a managerial position, and profit sharing. Were these terms generous? Very generous!
Chen Xuan admitted that in the vast Jianghe City, it would be impossible to find another job as favorable as this one. However, there was no ripple in his heart.
He recalled last year when he was abroad, and the conditions offered by the Agricultural Research Institution: an annual salary of ten thousand dollars, a green card, and a standalone villa. The terms were far more favorable than what Zhou Shuisheng had offered. Yet, Chen Xuan still refused.
He wanted to prove something to himself.
With that thought in mind, Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhou, thank you for your appreciation."
Zhou Shuisheng extended his hand with a smile: "Welcome!"
"But I'm sorry, I cannot accept your offer."
"What are you preparing to arrange for me? No?"
Zhou Shuisheng suddenly realized, looking at Chen Xuan in disbelief, he asked, "Are you saying no? Really?"
"Yes!" Chen Xuan nodded firmly.
"Why?"
Zhou Shuisheng's tone carried a hint of frustration; after all these years, it was the first time he had failed to recruit someone.
"Why?"
A smile appeared on Chen Xuan's lips, his eyes filled with determination. He didn't explain, just shook his head with a smile.
Seeing this, Zhou Shuisheng fell silent for a moment and said, "Is it because the conditions aren't enough?"
