Chapter 154: He Is Such a Tsundere

Zhao Qingxun acted very quickly; one week later she returned from her inspection and took the initiative to call Yang Tianxing into her office.

Her work environment was still as cluttered and disorganized as ever; this was Zhao Qingxun's style. Some people just like to work or study in a slightly messy environment, as it easily stimulates creative thinking.

Zhao Qingxun looked exhausted, as if she had just stepped off a plane. Her once-lustrous brown hair looked somewhat withered, clearly a result of overworking her brain or perhaps frequent meetings.

However, her eyes were bright and full of spirit: "Scumbag Yang, that MP3 you mentioned really has potential. I plan to concentrate the factory's resources to produce a prototype as quickly as possible."

Zhao Qingxun held her coffee excitedly, not even caring that it spilled onto her clothes.

"An MP3 is mainly composed of three parts: the central processing unit, the display, and the memory card. Actually, the factory has been helping Tsinghua Unigroup produce central processing units for a while now. As for the display, we can look for a partner manufacturer, and the memory card is even simpler; we can just purchase them in bulk."

"Congratulations, General Manager Zhao."

Yang Tianxing congratulated her: "Seize the opportunity, it is right before your eyes."

Zhao Qingxun looked at Yang Tianxing: "I have this idea: to establish a separate department specifically for MP3 research and development, and you can join as a consultant who doesn't need to come in for daily work, with your salary based on project commissions."

"For instance, I have adopted your suggestion regarding the MP3 this time."

Zhao Qingxun wrote a number on a piece of paper and handed it over: "What do you think of this remuneration?"

Yang Tianxing took a glance, and although he had mentally prepared himself, he was still startled: "This much?"

Zhao Qingxun said with a smile: "How much did you originally think?"

Yang Tianxing thought for a moment: "Actually, standard business consulting fees need to take the enterprise's profit standards into account. For a scale like Runxing Electronics Factory, 200,000 isn't much, but since I am still a student, this price is somewhat unexpected."

"A scumbag's brain is always able to keep things clear."

Zhao Qingxun didn't know if it was a sincere compliment or not, and continued: "Not only that, but I can only give you this 200,000 after we formally sign a consulting contract."

"Is General Manager Zhao trying to tie me down, not planning to let me off the ship?"

"Don't put it that way. Brothers fight side by side, and you are my male best friend, so of course you have to support me."

Yang Tianxing nodded, thinking to himself, don't regret it.

Zhao Qingxun didn't keep Chen Hansheng for a meal; she was too busy. Establishing a new department and launching a new project required many things to be handled and coordinated.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Qingxun calling Yang Tianxing over was likely first to pay the remuneration, second to tie him to the ship, and most importantly, perhaps to share the joy in her heart. She had been actively planning reforms for so long, and her goal was nothing more than to find projects with a better future.

After receiving the money, Yang Tianxing drove directly to Zhang Liye's place. He was drinking tea with Wu Qiang and said loudly to Yang Tianxing: "It's almost mealtime, are you here to mooch a meal again?"

Yang Tianxing ignored him and sat down to drink tea on his own; he did indeed have the intention of mooching a meal.

However, while eating, Yang Tianxing suddenly said: "Boss Zhang, I want to start a company, and I want to use your second floor as the registered address."

Zhang Liye's storefront was an independent two-story building, but he had opened it up. The first floor was given to the Chang'an branch of Shentong, and the second floor was still available for use.

Zhang Liye didn't seem too surprised: "Isn't it a bit too early for you to start an independent courier company now? You don't have any resources."

Yang Tianxing was stunned for a moment: "Is it that obvious that I want to jump ship and go solo?"

Zhang Liye nodded vigorously: "Originally I was just a bit suspicious, but your intention to develop Rocket 101 independently later was too obvious. I don't even know why Wang Shuzhu approved it."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Yang Tianxing denied it with a grin: "Shentong is a big tree with lush branches and leaves; I never thought about leaving. This time I want to open a business consulting company, but the industry and commerce bureau requires a registered address, and I don't have spare money to rent one."

"What are you doing starting this company for?" Zhang Liye asked.

For a street-smart person like Zhang Liye, one must tell the truth, so Yang Tianxing said: "I gave Zhao Qingxun of Runxing Electronics Factory an idea last time. Originally she should have paid a fee, but she said it was advice between friends and that paying money would hurt the relationship."

"Damn it!"

Yang Tianxing cursed angrily: "Now I'm setting up a corporate entity so that it's business-to-business and private-to-private; how can she try to welch on it next time."

Wu Qiang listened from the side and said: "You kid are obsessed with money. You want money just for giving a bit of advice? Does that mean you'll charge us for talking in the future too?"

"That's right."

Yang Tianxing said directly: "Brother Qiang, do you want to chat for 5 yuan worth?"

"Runxing is different from us."

Zhang Liye could understand: "We are a small operation; chatting is purely shooting the breeze, and there's no such thing as enterprise management plans. We just keep our heads down and deliver packages;

Runxing has a large scale, and one wrong decision could mean a loss of millions, so some opinions are very valuable."

Yang Tianxing raised his drink and clinked it with Zhang Liye: "Boss Zhang is still the one who understands."

Zhang Liye reminded him: "You drove here, don't drink."

"I don't want the car anymore."

Yang Tianxing waved his hand and said: "I came to return the car today too; I'm preparing to buy a new one."

Zhang Liye suddenly realized, thinking to himself that this kid Yang Tianxing was still impressive. He had just extorted my car at the beginning of the year, and now he's already preparing to buy a new one. Young people really have drive.

"In a while, we'll sign a lease contract, and you can take this contract to apply at the industry and commerce department. Now they encourage the development of private enterprises, so as long as there are no problems with the procedures, it shouldn't be difficult."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Zhang..."

Yang Tianxing left after eating and drinking his fill. Wu Qiang said to Zhang Liye with a smile: "I thought he was going to start a courier company."

Zhang Liye picked up a peanut, chewed it silently, then took a sip of white liquor and said: "Old Wu, I'll bet with you, it's only a matter of time before he jumps ship to go solo. Right now, he's just accumulating strength."

Wu Qiang didn't quite understand: "This kid earns more in a month than I do now, why is he still not satisfied?"

"Satisfied?"

Zhang Liye smiled. He would always remember the first time they met last year, when Yang Tianxing stood at the door and calmly said: "How can I replace the general agent of the Finance Institute."

How could a person like that be satisfied with this little bit of money?

Yang Tianxing's "Seed Capital" Business Consulting Company was thus quietly established. The scope of business included "business consulting, enterprise management, marketing planning," and so on, as well as "investment consulting."

"I must be the poorest angel investor now."

Yang Tianxing thought to himself. After returning to the dormitory, he found that the roommates in 312 were washing their hair or brushing their teeth. He asked strangely: "Is there any important activity? Even the super shut-in Li Ainan is willing to get out of bed."

"Second brother, stop being sarcastic."

Fu Yiming pushed Chen Hansheng toward the wardrobe: "Hurry up and change your clothes. We have a social mixer with the freshmen girls tonight."

Only then did Yang Tianxing remember that today was the day of the mixer with Zheng Xuan's dormitory.

"I'm not going. How can I go when I'm drunk?" Yang Tianxing climbed onto his bed to sleep.

Several people were stunned for a moment, and Song Fei shouted, "Don't be like that, the junior student said she just wanted to see the heroic bearing of Vice Chairman Yang of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department student union."

"Snore, snore, snore." Yang Tianxing began to snore on the bed.

"Forget it, forget it, if Second Brother isn't going, then forget it."

Yi Min straightened his tuxedo bowtie and said, "It's a good thing he's not going; otherwise, with how repressed and showy he is, where would we have any chance?"
