Chapter 669 - A Dinner (2/2)
Zhao Youyue polished her business skills in the source world’s enormous market. In reality, she used the same tactics to manage a few subsidiaries of her company. A new magnificent CEO was building her own reputation!
It had been quite some time since Lady Zhao was called CEO Zhao…
However, as Zhao Youyue pierced her way through the path of greatness, her parents dragged her to dinner.
It was a typical Chinese dinner in a reputable restaurant. The ceiling was decorated with elegant crystal chandeliers, and a roundtable was placed right beneath each of them. When dinner was served, the tables rotated by themselves.
Zhao Youyue was still the adorable, obedient girl in front of her parents. It was only courteous to do so since they respected and granted Lady Zhao the freedom of choices in life. Most of her parents’ dinner was accompanied by close friends and families, hence she would definitely honor her parents by showing up.
Since young, Zhao Youyue had attended many dinners such as this. All she had to do was to toast her parents and finish her own meal. After all, she was still a young girl, alcohol was not a necessity.
She began to realize the hidden agendas behind every dinner and grew tired of it. Despite her feelings, she was obligated maintain a good relationship with the elders. The attendees were as close as her immediate family, perhaps it should be called as a family dinner.
If it was a business dinner, nobody would bring their family members along.
Zhao Youyue drove her luxury car to attend the dinner. That was when she realized that she might have earned more than her parents!
It was not impossible. Her dad was merely an owner of a private hospital, and her mother was a lecturer in university with a salary of a professional…
Of course, that was just how it appeared on the surface. As a Zhao family member, they were given large amount of dividends, from time to time. They would have to lay low.
Nevertheless, Zhao Youyue was beyond compare. Nobody at her age could catch be her match!
Zhao Youyue could not possibly carry a staff to her family dinner. She put on an elegant dress and some light make-up, and stepped out of her car with the style of a noble lady. The goddess has arrived!
As she stepped into the restaurant, a pretty waitress welcomed her presence. The buff man with black sunglasses behind Zhao Youyue reassured the waitress of Zhao Youyue’s status. Without hesitation, the waitress inquired for a name.
Zhao Youyue gently replied that she came along with her father, Zhao Jiayi. She was then guided into a spacious and luxurious dining hall for her dinner.
Translation Note:
[1] Kaer Morhen (凯尔莫罕古堡) is an old keep where witchers used to be trained. The name is a corruption of the Elder Speech name of Caer a’Muirehen, which means “Old Sea Keep”, so named for the presence of fossilized sea creatures embedded in the stones on which it was built. It is located in the mountains of the kingdom of Kaedwen, right off the Gwenllech river.
In older times, witchers trained and underwent mutations here, but fanatics who considered witchers an abomination attacked the keep and killed most of the teachers and students. Vesemir was the last known witcher to live in the keep, although other witchers sometimes rested here between their assignments, often during the winter, after which they set out on The Path again.
[2] School of the Wolf (狼学派), known in Nilfgaard as the Order of Witchers, is a school of witchers headquartered at Kaer Morhen in Kaedwen.
