Chapter 1013 Li Xiaoyue: It’s hard to find a job as a god
Then, Li Xiaoyue saw a shocking scene. Qin Hao was comparing the template made by the master and quickly turning the carving knife in his hand towards the walnut. At first, Li Xiaoyue thought that Qin Hao was just messing around, but as the outline of the walnut gradually appeared, Li Xiaoyue was stunned.
"You... this... is impossible..."
Qin Hao put down the carving knife, took out the carved walnut, held it in his hand and showed it to Li Xiaoyue, smiling: "Remember to owe me another meal."
The old master beside him was also dumbfounded. He was stunned for a long time before staring at Qin Hao: "Who did you learn this skill from?"
"Isn't it just what I learned from you? No, to be precise, I should have learned it by imitating it."
The old master looked at his work in the direction Qin Hao's finger was pointing, then took the walnut in Qin Hao's hand for comparison. To his surprise, the carved pattern on the walnut in Qin Hao's hand was exactly the same as his.
After leaving the micro-carving shop, Li Xiaoyue stared at Qin Hao for a long time with an expression as if to ask: Are you still human?
"Although I'm very handsome, you don't have to stare at me like that."
Li Xiaoyue pouted and said, "Don't be so conceited. There are many handsome men out there. I'm not interested in any of them."
"Have you noticed something?" Qin Hao didn't care and winked at Li Xiaoyue.
"What's the matter?" Li Xiaoyue asked blankly.
"In fact, we are quite compatible."
Li Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Hao suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
"Literally, I want to pursue you. Is that hard to understand?"
"You're chasing me? Why?"
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Do I need to ask why I like you?"
Li Xiaoyue was full of hesitation: "You, is this a confession?"
It’s not that she hated Qin Hao, but she had always treated Qin Hao as her boss, and Li Xiaoyue never thought about it in that way at all.
"Why do you act like you're facing a great enemy? Is it so difficult for you to accept my confession?" Qin Hao felt both angry and amused when he saw her conflicted look.
"No, no." Li Xiaoyue shook her head quickly: "I, I just didn't react for a moment."
Qin Hao reached out and tapped Li Xiaoyue's forehead lightly: "What's that expression on your face? You look embarrassed."
Li Xiaoyue hesitated for a few seconds, then asked cautiously: "If I don't accept your confession, will you fire me?"
"What are you thinking about? What do you think I'm doing? Sexual harassment in the workplace?" Qin Hao glared at her fiercely.
Li Xiaoyue heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, patted her chest, and then said solemnly to Qin Hao.
"First of all, thank you very much for your love. To be honest, you have the best appearance I've ever seen. I'm actually a little happy that you like me."
"But, you know, I just broke up with someone and I'm ready to enter a new relationship. If I rashly agree to you now, it would be irresponsible to both you and me, so..."
Qin Hao raised his hand to interrupt: "Okay, no need to give out the nice guy card, just pretend I didn't say anything just now, let's just start by being ordinary friends."
"Aren't you angry?"
"Do I look like a stingy person?"
"No, judging by the salary you paid me, you are definitely not a stingy person, boss."
"It's no use talking sweet words, you still owe me a meal."
"Oh~~~" Li Xiaoyue felt heartache, as if the money in her purse had spread its wings and flew away without looking back.
Afterwards, Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue played for another afternoon. At first, Li Xiaoyue was worried that Qin Hao would be unhappy, but after playing for an afternoon, Li Xiaoyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It is really hard to find a job with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan and no overtime with two days off a week.
At lunchtime, Li Xiaoyue brought Qin Hao's spoils from the arcade to a shabby restaurant for dinner.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this restaurant is a little small, but the taste is absolutely authentic. You will know it after you eat it."
I have to say, the food in this Hunan restaurant is really good.
Qin Hao took a big sip of ice soda and asked curiously, "How did you find a place like this?"
Li Xiaoyue chuckled: "I don't have much ambition for career. I go to work just to survive. My biggest hobby is eating, drinking and having fun. Let's put it this way, I have joined fifty groups with more than 100 people for eating, drinking and having fun."
"As for me, I just want to enjoy life while I am still young, because you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident."
Looking at Li Xiaoyue's bright face and the faint smile on her lips, Qin Hao also smiled.
"That's right. Life is full of disappointments. If you don't find some fun for yourself, what's the point of living?"
Li Xiaoyue winked slyly: "It's rare for a boss like you to have such awareness."
"You mean a capitalist like me should only think about how to make money?" Qin Hao rolled his eyes at Li Xiaoyue, who chuckled.
Qin Hao said seriously: "The purpose of making money is to enjoy life properly. Otherwise, wouldn't you become a slave to money?"
Li Xiaoyue suddenly discovered that Qin Hao's outlook on life was very consistent with her own. In comparison, although Na Jun had an annual salary of one million, 95% of his life was occupied by work. The other 5% of his time was left to accompany his girlfriend and family, leaving him with no time for himself at all.
It seems great, but in fact, during the time when Li Xiaoyue was in love with him, she felt endless mental exhaustion.
Moreover, what made Li Xiaoyue most difficult to accept was that Na Jun always wanted to transform her intentionally or unintentionally. She felt that Na Jun wanted to transform her into a smaller version of "Na Jun".
After dinner, Li Xiaoyue suggested that they go home separately. Qin Hao did not insist and separated from Li Xiaoyue on the subway.
Watching Qin Hao enter the subway passage, Li Xiaoyue opened the WeChat "Food, Drink and Fun Group".
"I'm treating you to a midnight snack tonight. Anyone want to join me for a drink?"
The WeChat group, which had been calm, immediately exploded.
"Hey, is this the salary payment?"
"She has only been working for a few days, why is she getting paid? Maybe something happened to her, right?"
"What time? I have to work overtime until nine today. Can I make it?"
"Oh, sister, I have to work overtime too, so I'll try to get there early."
At 8:30 in the evening, several of Li Xiaoyue's close friends arrived one after another.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you? Are you heartbroken again?"
"Are you stupid? Xiaoyue just broke up with her boyfriend before, how could she break up again so soon?"
"If it's not a broken heart, could it be unemployment?"
Li Xiaoyue glared at a few people angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you just hope for me to be better?"
Afterwards, Li Xiaoyue told her what Qin Hao had confessed to her today.
The girlfriends looked at each other in bewilderment at first.
"Why does it sound a bit like a female-oriented novel? The plot where the overbearing president falls in love with me?"
"What do you mean by similar? It's good at all."
"Good boy, Xiaoyue, you are so lucky. You just broke up with the programmer with a million-dollar annual salary, and now you are favored by a domineering CEO. Tsk tsk, tell me the truth, are you the reincarnation of Daji? How can you seduce men so well?"
Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and said, "I was just saying that. When he confessed his love to me today, I was so scared that I almost thought I would lose my job."
The girlfriends were speechless upon hearing this.
"So your first reaction wasn't to catch the domineering president, but to worry about your job?"
"That's right. If you catch the domineering CEO, you will be financially independent. Why are you still worrying about that 20,000-dollar-a-month job? You're out of your mind!"
Li Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose: "Compared with financial freedom and personal freedom, I still care more about the latter."
"I can tell from what I heard that this overbearing president must be ugly."
"Well, maybe it's a middle-aged greasy man."
Li Xiaoyue directly took out the photo of her and Qin Hao in the video game arcade today, and immediately the sound of swallowing saliva was heard at the dining table.
"Damn it, please don't push a domineering CEO like Li Xiaoyue to me, okay?"
"That's right, it's so infuriating. I thought it was a middle-aged greasy uncle. He's so handsome and has such good conditions, but you actually rejected him. Li Xiaoyue, can you tell me what you think?"
A close friend hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Li Xiaoyue, you are not still thinking about that Na Jun, are you?"
Li Xiaoyue shook her head: "After breaking up with Na Jun, I also reviewed it."
"In fact, I am with him, to a large extent, because I think he is young, promising and well-educated. Standing next to him, I don't seem so bad."
"But from the beginning, our values didn't match. He was obsessed with making a name for himself, but I just wanted to enjoy life while I could."
A close friend asked curiously, "So why did you date him for so long?"
Li Xiaoyue smiled bitterly and said, "That's why there's a saying that bystanders see more clearly than those involved. When we were together, we weren't that rational. It's only now that we've separated and I've let it go that I realize, looking back, that we're really not suitable for each other in any way."
Another girlfriend rolled her eyes and said, "Xiaoyue, you're not going to tell us that you've been dating Najun for two years, but you two haven't had sex yet, right?"
Li Xiaoyue blushed and said, "What are you imagining? Na Jun and I only see each other twice a month at most, and we break up every now and then. How can I be with him..."
"Then what are you still struggling with?"
Li Xiaoyue propped up her chin and said, "Actually, I don't know what I'm struggling with. Maybe I'm just afraid."
"afraid?"
"Well, I was afraid that I accepted him because of his halo, and I was afraid that I didn't like him that much, and in the end I would find that we were not suitable and break up again."
"This is not like you, Li Xiaoyue. If you are in a relationship and it's not suitable, just break up."
Li Xiaoyue suddenly woke up. Yes, when did she, Li Xiaoyue, become so indecisive?
It’s just a love relationship, who’s afraid of who?
……
On the other side, on Sunday, Qin Hao received a call from Jason at 11:30 am.
"Boss, we have reached an agreement with Vision Entertainment. 32% of the shares are worth 1000 million RMB. We can sign the contract in a week. As for Wuyou Media, it's a little more troublesome. They are holding on to 15% of the shares and the valuation has to be increased to 2 million RMB."
"Then forget about Wuyou Media for now, sign Vision Entertainment, and then look for some emerging MCN companies."
A valuation of 20 million is still too high for an MCN company. Qin Hao vaguely remembers that the highest valuation of Wuyou Media did not exceed billion yuan. With a return of less than ten times, it is not actually a good project for venture capital.
"Okay, BOSS."
Not long after hanging up the phone, Qin Hao received another call from Qin Lingling, and her tone seemed a little anxious.
When Qin Hao arrived at the Wang family villa, Qin Lingling was sitting on the sofa with a heavy face.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Qin Lingling pointed to the file bag on the table. Qin Hao opened it and found that it was the public account of "Everyday".
"Is this the only amount of money in the company's account?"
You should know that medical beauty is definitely one of the top lucrative industries. For a company as large as "Everyday", making tens of millions in profit a year should not be a problem. As long as Wang Ruizhi and Qin Lingling did not squander the money, there would definitely be more than this balance.
Qin Lingling said coldly: "I spent a lot of effort to find connections to get this money from the bank. It's impossible that the company has only had this little money in all these years."
"What did my brother-in-law say?"
"Humph, what else can he say? It's just that the price of raw materials has increased, the overall environment is not good, the industry competition is fierce, and marketing costs have increased."
This makes sense. It is obvious that Wang Ruizhi must have transferred his property in advance without Qin Lingling's knowledge. Otherwise, where would his club worth hundreds of millions come from?
What he meant by seeing through the world and becoming a monk was actually forcing Qin Lingling to divorce so that he could resume his relationship with his first love Xu Meiyi openly.
It seems that "every day" was given to Qin Lingling, but in fact what was left to Qin Lingling was a mess.
All the key departments in the company are Wang Ruizhi's confidants. In addition, the business model of "Everyday" is outdated and without strong financial support, it is simply unsustainable.
In this process, Wang Ruizhi not only regained his freedom, but also used Qin Lingling to fire the old employees of the company, and then recruited them back as a savior. All the blame was borne by Qin Lingling. It was really a good plan.
Qin Hao sneered in his heart. Wang Ruizhi was really a scumbag. After all, Qin Lingling was his wife who had accompanied him in starting from scratch. Even if they wanted to divorce, he should at least give his ex-wife and children some protection. He secretly emptied all the company's assets and left an empty shell for his ex-wife. How would the widow and orphan live in the future?
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? The company is about to conduct its A round of financing. If the financing is successful, it can continue to support itself. At this time, I can't divorce him, and I won't let him get away with it so easily!" Qin Lingling gritted her teeth.
Qin Hao thought for a moment and reminded, "Sister, are you sure that Lao Wang and Xu Meiyi have completely broken up?"
"It should be over. I was the one who handled the procedures for Xu Meiyi to study abroad..."
"He can come back after studying abroad. How often does he usually go on a long journey?"
Qin Lingling recalled for a while: "Old Wang doesn't travel far away very often, he just occasionally attends some Zen practice classes... You can't be suspicious of him..."
"It is very likely that he is taking this opportunity to meet Xu Meiyi privately."
Qin Lingling stood up excitedly, her eyes seemed to be blazing with fire, as if she wanted to burn everything to ashes.
"I'm not done with this bastard!"
Qin Hao stopped Qin Lingling and said, "Sister, now is not the time to turn against Lao Wang, unless you want to leave the house with nothing."
Qin Lingling gradually calmed down: "So what should we do now?"
"The most important thing now is to find the property that Lao Wang has transferred out."
"How to find it?" (End of this chapter)
