<h4>Chapter 80: Generation Gap</h4>


    The ce Yang Chen rmended to Chen Bo was the Rose Bar opened by Rose. This bar has always been in the middle ss. It''s not that Rose didn''t want to expand; it''s just that the scale of this bar was left by Rose''s mother. So, ording to her wishes, maintaining this bar is more meaningful than just doing business with it.


    After they dropped Chen Rong''s luggage at the small apartment where Chen Bo lived, the three of them quickly went to the Rose Bar after having a simple meal at a small restaurant.


    The bar was very quiet during the day, except for the waiters, there were no customers at all, which was suitable for Yang Chen to take the siblings inside.


    After Chen Bo noticed that it was a bar, he asked with some concern, "Yang Chen, this street is quite chaotic at night. I''m a bit worried."


    "I''ve already thought about this issue for you. I''m very familiar with the owner here and can arrange for someone to escort Xiao Rong back at night."


    Chen Bo stopped asking more questions. After entering the bar, he looked around and nodded approvingly at the tasteful decorations, indicating that this kind of bar seemed quite formal.


    Xiao Zhao, who was wearing a waiter''s uniform behind the bar, brightened up when he saw Yang Chen enter. He grinned and said, "Yang Ge, howe you''re free toe during the day? And you brought friends?"


    Yang Chen greeted several waiters in the bar and said, "Is Rose in? I''ve brought someone here to rmend for a job."


    "The boss just woke up from her nap. Let me go call her," Xiao Zhao said cheerfully and then ran inside.


    Since Rose''s private residence was not open to the public, Yang Chen chose to wait outside with the Chen siblings for Rose toe out.


    Before long, Rose, dressed in a long white dress, walked out gracefully. Her wless face, without makeup, appeared enchanting in the dim light. Her graceful figure,plemented by her mature temperament, looked stunning.


    Chen Bo and Chen Rong were both a little stunned as they watched Rose walk towards them with a smile. They had never expected the owner of this bar to be such a beautiful young woman.


    "Yang Chen, who did you rmend to me?" With an outsider present, Rose cleverly called out Yang Chen''s name, appearing dignified yet humble.


    Yang Chen gestured towards Chen Rong and said, "This is my friend and his sister. They just arrived from Sichuan Province. There were some family issues, so he dropped out of college toe to Zhonghai to work and earn some money to repay debts. I thought your ce would be suitable for them. With supervision, they can also feel reassured."


    Rose quickly understood Yang Chen''s implication and began to carefully assess Chen Rong.


    Seeing Rose, who exuded a goddess-like aura, smiling and looking at her, Chen Rong couldn''t help but blush and feel her heart race, lowering her head and dare not meet Rose''s gaze.


    "What''s your name?" Rose asked gently, half-bent like an older sister talking to her younger sister.


    "I''m Chen Rong, Rong as in ''lotus seed paste''..." Chen Rong answered, pursing her lips.


    Rose chuckled lightly, "Don''t be nervous, just listen to me. Although you were rmended by Yang Chen, I can only start you off with the most basic tasks - carrying dishes, cleaning, and these jobs can be very tiring and dirty. You might even get scolded by customers when they''re in a bad mood. Are you willing?"


    "I am willing. I''ve been taking care of my parents at home, and I''ve done these tasks before. I''ve also worked at some Western fast food restaurants," Chen Rong replied eagerly.


    With a meaningful smile, Rose suddenly reached out and touched Chen Rong''s cheek, "Then work here from now on. I''ll have Xiao Zhao and the others help and teach you. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. Don''t be polite. I won''t let my employees be bullied."


    "Okay!" Tears shimmered in Chen Rong''s eyes as she smiled innocently.


    While Xiao Zhao took Chen Rong to sign the contract andplete the procedures, Chen Bo, who hadn''t dared to speak much in front of Rose, suddenly said, "Thank you. I know Yang Chen is a good person, and you''re Yang Chen''s friend, so I trust you. I entrust my sister to your care!"


    Rose couldn''t help but smile and sigh as she supported him with one hand, "Your sister is as pure and lovely as a spring in the mountains. In today''s society, such innocence is rare. To be honest, I''ve alwayscked such a good girl to be my assistant. If your sister is willing, I''d really like to keep her by my side in the future and teach her some things firsthand. I''m just afraid you, as her brother, might object." Hearing this, Yang Chen was surprised and looked at Rose with some astonishment. He hadn''t expected Rose to have the idea of taking on an apprentice, hence herplex gaze towards Chen Rong. But the thought of the kind-hearted Chen Rong being taught by a big sister in the underworld made Yang Chen chuckle.


    Chen Bo, unaware of Rose''s true identity as the queen of the underworld in Zhonghai, thought that Rose meant taking Chen Rong along for business, so he happily said, "As long as Xiao Rong is willing, as her brother, I''ll follow her. Boss Rose won''t harm us, I trust her."


    "Do you trust Yang Chen and me so much?" Rose asked with a wry smile.


    Chen Bo nodded earnestly, "I do. I''m poor and useless. Yang Chen cares about me and helps me. He doesn''t look down on me like others do. If I don''t trust him, I''d be worse than a pig or a dog! Boss Rose is Yang Chen''s friend, and I believe in the ancient saying, ''In conversation, there''s the learned schr; inpanionship, there''s nomoner.'' Yang Chen is a great guy, so naturally, Boss Rose is trustworthy!"


    Rose couldn''t help but burst intoughter, "You''re much more interesting than Yang Chen. You speak in a very diplomatic way... Since you said so, I''ll take it as your agreement to let me take care of Chen Rong. But in the future, don''t use me of acting on my own."


    Blushing, Chen Bo smiled, "Of course not, of course not. Rose, Boss, don''t mind me saying this... Apart from the CEO of ourpany, you''re the most beautiful woman I''ve ever seen. Someone like you wouldn''t do anything to harm us little people... Hehe..."


    "The CEO of yourpany?" Rose''s eyes sparkled with a hint of meaning as she nced at Yang Chen, "Then he must be as beautiful as a fairy, right?"


    Yang Chen felt a cold sweat forming on his forehead and dared not look directly at Rose. Chen Bo, unaware of the inner workings, expressed some admiration, saying, "Yes, I was also dumbfounded the first time I saw her, just like seeing Boss Rose today. But everyone in ourpany respects her a lot, many even idolize her."


    Rose nodded with a knowing smile and chatted with Chen Bo about everyday matters for a while before turning to Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, I have something to discuss with you privately. Are you free tonight?"


    Yang Chen distinctly saw the expression on Rose''s face that seemed to say "you''re in trouble if you don''te," and he awkwardly replied with a stiff smile, "I''m free. I''ll definitelye, hehe..."


    After dealing with Chen Rong''s work matters, Yang Chen took the Chen siblings, who were in a good mood, back to their apartment. Chen Bo was busy arranging Chen Rong''s amodation and didn''t go to work.


    With nothing to do, Yang Chen remembered his appointment with Rose for the evening. Worried about bumping into others if he went to the hospital to see Lin Ruoxi and knowing that Li Jingjing would be busy teaching, he pondered for a moment and decided to return to thepany to y some games.


    Just as he was about to set off for Yulei International, his phone rang. Initially puzzled by the caller, he furrowed his brows as he recalled who it was—Tangtang.


    Answering the phone, Tangtang immediately said cheerfully, "Uncle, where are you?"


    "What''s up?" Yang Chen thought it would be better to rify first. This girl could be troublesome.


    Tangtang said bluntly, "I finished my exams this afternoon and have nothing to do, so I decided to treat you to dinner. You promisedst time, you''re not allowed to refuse."


    Yang Chen remembered this arrangement and rubbed his stomach, "I''m not hungry now, how aboutter?"


    "No way! Uncle, why are you so stingy? Do you have to be treated to dinner before you''ll apany me? I''m so bored alone on the street right now, juste and y with me. Let''s go to dinner in two hours." Tangtang pleaded.


    Yang Chen found it difficult to refuse when the girl acted cute. He hesitated and suggested, "Why don''t you go home? Don''t your parents care about you?"


    "Humph, they''re too busy to bother with their unloved child like me, busy as can be every day."


    "What about your ssmates?"


    "They''re all little brats, so immature... Uncle, pleasee..."


    Tangtang seemed to have caught Yang Chen''s weakness and insisted persistently.


    Yang Chen felt greatly distressed. What a poor child, without a father''s love or a mother''s care, just like himself when he was young, wasn''t it? Despite driving a Porsche, her young heart seemed genuinely lonely.


    "Alright, where are you? I''lle pick you up." Yang Chen thought there was nothing wrong with apanying the girl, even though their meetings usually didn''t end well.


    "Greetings from the intersection of Central Street and Fourteenth Street, right at the crossroads! Hurry, Uncle! I''m wearing a pink miniskirt!" With giggles andughter, Tangtang hung up the phone.


    Yang Chen sighed helplessly. "This little girl, even if she''s stripped naked, there''s nothing to see," he muttered to himself, but he stepped on the gas nheless...


    In less than fifteen minutes, Yang Chen saw Tangtang dressed in a cute pink outfit at the street corner. The girl wore a sun hat, her smiling face pure and lovely. It was hard to imagine that the little girl he had met in the night could be so endearing.


    After Tangtang got in the car, Yang Chen couldn''t help but praise, "You look great in this outfit, much prettier than your previous one."


    Pouting, Tangtang retorted, "That''s called fashion. But Uncle, you wouldn''t understand. Anyway, I''ll just pretend to be a pure little sister in front of you from now on."


    "We have a generation gap," Yang Chen grumbled, then asked, "Where are we going?"


    "To the Zhonghai Cinema, to watch a movie!" Tangtang blurted out.


    "You''ve already made ns?" Yang Chen felt like he fell into a trap. "Are you trying to y tricks on me again?"


    Biting her white teeth, Tangtang angrily took out two movie tickets from her white LV purse. "These are the movie tickets the school issued. It''s a patriotic movie. I don''t think it should go to waste, and I have nothing else to do, so I decided to go watch it. Uncle, do you think this is harming you?"


    "This movie is good," Yang Chen said as he saw the image of national warriors on the tickets. "I like watching movies about the history of the summer."


    "Why?" Tangtang asked puzzledly.


    "Because I don''t know these stories," Yang Chen said matter-of-factly. "Understanding the history of one''s own country enables one to love their country better. Your school''s approach is correct."


    Tangtang rolled her eyes. "It''s all old-fashioned stuff. Besides, each person has two tickets, but I''m the only lonely child in the ss going. And I have to go with a creepy old man."


    "We can just sit separately inside. You watch yours, I''ll watch mine," Yang Chen said casually as he drove.


    "No way!" Tangtang suddenly blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed as she fidgeted with her hands. Her expression revealed a hint of coquettishness that didn''t quite match her age as she whispered, "It''s my first time going to the movies alone with a boy. How can we sit separately..."


    Yang Chen''s legs almost twitched, nearly mming the elerator into the car in front of him!
