Chapter 147

There was also a problem with the way Shen Bing said those words.

What does it mean that it's normal for friends to recommend jobs? Does she really have no idea how much she's worth? To her, it was just mutual help that should be expected. Before, she was all "seven this and eight that," and in the blink of an eye, it was just friends and human nature?

When it came to Shi Xiaomeng, she suddenly became hesitant?

Yes, the difficulty of the two is different. But helping is just doing what one can.

Cheng Feng isn't a fool; does he have to help blindly?

Of course, the result was that Cheng Feng really was...

"Girl, I understand everything you're saying, the problem is... let me tell you the truth." Shi Xiaomeng put down his bowl and chopsticks, straightened his body, and looked at Shen Bing: "Hu Rongqiang promised me that 80,000 yuan bonus, but only gave me 30,000. In other words, the apartment I took you to see is gone."

"If it's gone, we just won't buy it." Shen Bing smiled: "I think our current life is pretty good."

"But the deposit I paid, 50,000 yuan, is also gone."

Shen Bing stopped talking. She knew that Shi Xiaomeng had originally saved up 30,000 and borrowed another 20,000 from Cheng Feng; if this went down the drain, then Shi Xiaomeng's last few years in the capital would have been for nothing.

"That serious?"

"What do you think? It's written clearly in black and white on that contract. By the end of this month, if the down payment isn't paid, the money belongs to them; not a single cent will be refunded."

"Then what should we do?"

"Sigh, let's take it one step at a time." Shi Xiaomeng sighed: "Oh, right, tomorrow we'll treat this group of people to a meal. They've helped me a lot, and last time we treated them, not everyone came. This time, your job has also been settled by Brother Feng, so it can be considered a celebration."

"Okay..." Shen Bing said "ah" and asked: "What about Brother Wang? Should we call Brother Wang too?"

"As for Brother Wang... forget it, this time let's just thank these friends from school. When Brother Wang has time, we'll treat him separately..."

…………

Wang Yan didn't know what had happened to Shi Xiaomeng in the last two days, but he knew it was bound to happen.

Because of his appearance, up to now, the only thing that had helped Shi Xiaomeng was that a business deal that was originally going to fail was successfully negotiated, and instead of borrowing money from Wu Di to see his arm, he got 2,000 yuan, which eased his embarrassing life a little. But nothing else had changed much. He had known before that a greedy player like Hu Rongqiang would never let go of an opportunity to exploit Shi Xiaomeng.

So in the last two days, he had also done some preparatory work.

Actually, there was nothing special; he just had his subordinates in finance study Dade when they had nothing to do, because the money he had previously borrowed had only arrived in his account two days ago. The little money he had in his hands really wasn't enough if he wanted to go hard, so he just split off a little money to play around secretly and slowly.

As for that third shareholder, Liang Junzheng, Wang Yan didn't plan to bring him along. If he could get his hands on Dade by spending a small amount of money, he would. If he couldn't, he wouldn't force it; as long as he got the money, it would be fine.

His main goal now wasn't to engage in industry, but to engage in the internet to raise money to pour into artificial intelligence, and then cash out to subsidize the research of those formulas.

Cheng Feng's father, Cheng Shengen, still wants to reduce his shareholding to cash out? He can dream on.

Wang Yan was very unhappy that the old bastard was using coercion and bribery against Shi Xiaomeng, even though Wang Yan agreed with a portion of the bullshit he said. But that high-and-mighty, unrighteous, and unscrupulous face was truly disgusting. Even he, Wang Mou, with all his greatness, never went around posturing and acting big with anyone. He guaranteed that for that old bastard, wanting to die peacefully in the hospital would be difficult.

As for Cheng Feng, Wang Yan wanted to see what this rich kid would be without his father and without the status of the young master of the Dade Group.

There's no reason that having money is justice, or that rich people can be forgiven if they turn over a new leaf.

Like later in the original drama, where Cheng Feng goes to each shareholder to wipe away tears and cry, and then they should support him? That's bullshit.

His father said one thing very well: people at the manager level and above at Dade Group not only have high salaries but are also allocated a certain amount of shares. That's not walking on the road to success; they have already succeeded.

And those were just incentive shares with dividend rights but no voting rights. Need I even mention the shareholders at the higher level who possess voting rights? How could they be people who could be moved by just a few tears and talk of car beauty salons or chain stores?

According to Wang Yan, it was still that old bastard Liang Junzheng who didn't play by the rules; sitting in the chairman's seat wasn't enough, he even wanted to go further and kick all those old bastards who were useless and just sat there enjoying the fruits of others' labor out of the board of directors.

And these people also felt the crisis, which is why they turned to support Cheng Feng and let him take the position as a puppet. After all, they all knew what Cheng Feng was capable of. He was just a second-generation heir who was good for nothing; they had the confidence to handle him.

That is to say, the TV series ended, but if it continued, Cheng Feng would definitely have to accompany his father.

As for Shi Xiaomeng, all Wang Yan could do was help Shi Xiaomeng achieve success in the public sense, which is having money. As for other things like dating, that wasn't Wang Mou's business. To put it bluntly, it was already good that he didn't study how to make a move; did he still have to help Shi Xiaomeng date? Shi Xiaomeng didn't share his surname Wang.

People will change. They all say men are boys until they die and women are girls until they die, but that's no longer the boys and girls of the past. If Shen Bing really changed her nature and was no longer that sweet, smiling girl who walked out of a small city in Yunnan Province, then she could only wish herself luck...

It was already midnight. After finishing his business, Wang Yan lay on the bed, squinting: "If you have something to say, say it."

Yang Zixi, who had been twisting for a long time, hurriedly leaned over: "I want to open a flower shop..."

Wang Yan didn't even open his eyes: "Didn't I give you money?"

"Oh..." Yang Zixi pouted and completely quieted down.

"People, only by being content can one be happy. I consider myself generous enough; I've already treated you well, so it's better not to be greedy."

Wang Yan knew exactly what she meant.

Human desire is infinite; the more you have, the more you want. That Andy would buy a pair of shoes or a bag for ten thousand yuan without a second thought, and she was completely under his thumb. It would have been impossible for the previous Yang Zixi to have seen so much money.

Now that she was opening her mouth to say this to him, it was mainly because she had been spoiled by her cheap habits; it was purely that her appetite had grown and she wasn't satisfied and wanted more. It was also to test Wang Yan's bottom line to see how much she was worth here.

As for why she wanted to open a flower shop, in the original drama, it was something Andy said casually to fool her. This time was different; when Yang Zixi was previously kept by Andy, her tail was already in the sky. This time, she was kept by Wang Yan and got more than two million yuan, so needless to say, she bought, bought, and bought; it was truly incomparable to when she was with Andy. Her cocky attitude couldn't stop at all. Her popularity was already not great, and it was estimated that during this period, whoever saw her would find her disagreeable.

It wasn't that others weren't being kept or weren't selling themselves. It was just obvious that the one keeping her was more powerful and more willing to spend money on her. The others couldn't be balanced; they were all selling themselves, so why was her price higher? What was so special about her? And the fairness people want is always their own unfairness to others, so those who originally had the same pursuits as her didn't really bother with her anymore.

After that cocky attitude passed, she also found that showing off to a group of people who were far less high-quality than her was meaningless, after all, everyone's rank was about the same before. Moreover, she herself was isolated by others in the company, and that job wasn't very meaningful, which was why she had the idea of coming out to do something herself.

Wang Yan being generous is his business, but others can't come up and push their luck.

How does that saying go? What I give you is yours; if I don't give it to you, you can't ask for it.

Therefore, Wang Yan, who had always been decisive and supreme, could never indulge Yang Zixi's cheap habits.

Before long, hearing the rhythmic breathing beside him, Wang Yan also slowly fell asleep.

The next day, after Wang Yan finished his morning routine, he drove to the company.

His company was an internet company, and also a company that emphasized research and innovation, so the most numerous people in the company were programmers, and the number of people in other positions was relatively much smaller.

Wang Yan was also an unconventional and genuinely generous boss, so when he arrived, he saw people who had just arrived like him grinning at him before walking in gracefully, and there were also players with deep eye sockets and yawning for two days who were lacking energy and just nodded at him before leaving... it was quite harmonious.

Arriving at his office, he sat down in his comfortable boss chair and asked his assistant to find the company's operations manager.

"Boss Wang, are you looking for me?"

Not long after, the operations manager knocked on the door and walked in.

Wang Yan pointed to the chair opposite him: "Sit."

After he sat down, Wang Yan said: "You know about the project we are currently developing, right?"

As the operations manager, if he didn't understand his own company's project, then what the hell was he managing: "I know, Boss Wang."

【A novel app that has been running stably for many years, the source-changing app that even the old version of the bug-chasing app uses, huanyuanapp.】

"You should talk to the development side and study the promotion plan carefully." Wang Yan nodded and said: "There is an advertising company called Hu's Advertising; just find them to cooperate. That's all, go get busy."

"Okay, Boss Wang."

After he left, Wang Yan called the legal department.

"I just gave instructions to the operations side; we are going to do an advertising promotion. The partner company is called Hu's Advertising, and the boss is called Hu Rongqiang. It's estimated that it will be within this period of time that the contract will be signed."

Wang Yan stared fixedly into the legal counsel's eyes: "I want him to go bankrupt, I want him to go into debt; is there a problem?"

The original drama was about Hu Rongqiang being taken down by loopholes in the contract; he just had to follow that. Otherwise, besides directly killing him to save trouble, he really didn't have many ways to deal with Hu Rongqiang.

One was that he didn't have that much influence to make others not cooperate with Hu Rongqiang. Another was that tax evasion like Hu Rongqiang's was definitely inevitable, and he could be fined to death. It's just that for such a small character, it wasn't worth spending energy to collect evidence. If he found someone to directly raid Hu Rongqiang, the favor he would owe wouldn't be worth it compared to doing it himself; it was truly inappropriate.

The legal counsel nodded: "Understood, Boss Wang."

Wang Yan said it clearly and plainly, and he would use his understanding of the law to achieve it. It was just normal commercial activity, not illegal or undisciplined, and as for that person named Hu Rongqiang, did his life or death have anything to do with him? If it had anything to do with him, could it be closer than money?

"Good, go get busy."

Watching the legal counsel close the door and leave, Wang Yan sat in his boss chair thinking about Shi Xiaomeng's affairs.

He understood Shi Xiaomeng; after all, generally speaking, his background wasn't much better than Shi Xiaomeng's. Previously, Wang Mou's hometown was just one of countless villages under the jurisdiction of Longcheng, and moving to the city was something that happened later. Of course, the shitty vocational school he attended couldn't be compared to the elite school graduate Shi Xiaomeng.

However, after entering society, their mentality was still about the same, which was that as long as one could hold on, one wouldn't ask anyone for anything. Nothing else, just fear of being rejected, fear of not being able to pay it back.

So Shi Xiaomeng wouldn't come to find him until he knew the truth at the very end and was truly powerless.

In the original drama, Shi Xiaomeng didn't have many choices, but now that he, Wang Mou, was standing here, the result would definitely be different.

Wang Yan didn't think much more and began to focus on writing code, clattering away...

…………

Old Place Restaurant.

Organized by Shi Xiaomeng, with the Copper Hammer couple in charge of the cooking, the group, except for Yang Zixi, gathered together again after a long time.

"Did you ask your dad about what happened yesterday?" Shi Xiaomeng asked Cheng Feng, who was sitting next to him, in a low voice.

Cheng Feng said: "Not yet, we weren't in a very good mood yesterday and argued for a while; let's find another opportunity."

"Okay, no problem. Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll think of other ways."

"No problem, there shouldn't be any issues."

Shi Xiaomeng nodded and raised his glass: "I've caused you trouble, and thank you for my wife's matter too."

Lin Xia noticed the movement and said loudly: "Hey... look at these two, they've already started drinking."

"That... I'll propose a toast." Shi Xiaomeng had finished his wine and stood up: "This gathering today, it's Shen Bing and me………………"

After Shi Xiaomeng finished his polite words of thanks, everyone drank the opening toast in a lively manner.

After drinking for a while, Copper Hammer looked at Wu Di with a smile: "Wu Di, you have to drink a few more glasses today."

"Of course I have to drink more." Wu Di said: "But Brother Hammer, you have to tell me why."

"Why?" Copper Hammer smiled mysteriously: "Then you have to ask your sister-in-law."

"Look at that smile, what are you keeping me in suspense for." Copper Hammer's wife rolled her eyes at her man: "I picked up a note this morning, and when I looked at it, the handwriting was very familiar. When I looked again, wasn't this written by Wu Di? I wanted to wait until he came over to show him, and then stick it on the wall."

Wu Di grabbed it before he could look closely, and before he could see it clearly, Lin Xia snatched it away.

"Read it, hurry up and read what it says."

"Ah..." Lin Xia teased and read aloud with a grin: "If I could be with you, I would rather let all the starlight in the sky fall………… to my little Xixi."

Everyone burst into an uproar, and Wu Di drank gloomily.

"Hey, speaking of which, it's been a long time since there was any news about little Xixi." Cheng Feng asked as the conversation flowed: "Lin Xia, you're in frequent contact with her, what is she doing now? Why is there no movement at all?"

It's not that Cheng Feng is self-centered; perhaps he was just getting carried away, and he didn't take the person drinking gloomily to heart. He knew before that Yang Zixi had been kept by Andy, and now he was just exposing the wound to watch the fun.

Lin Xia glared at Cheng Feng upon hearing this, carefully looked at Wu Di, who looked indifferent, and raised her glass with an awkward laugh: "She's just like that, come, come, let's drink, cheers..."

To be honest, Lin Xia also had problems. Her heart might be good, but her actions were definitely brainless. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked; it would have just passed. Damn it, everyone was looking at her, and she still carefully glanced at Wu Di? What did that mean? It looked like something was going on, right?

Wu Di, a grown man, naturally couldn't stand this; he drank the wine in his glass straightforwardly and said: "Lin Xia, you don't need to look at me, just say whatever you have to say, I've already moved past this long ago."

Cheng Feng also knew his mouth was too fast and had hurt someone, so he hurriedly raised his glass: "Hi, I said my mouth was too fast, why worry about her so much. Come, Wu Di, Xiaomeng, come, drink, drink."

Damn it, Wu Di felt even worse; that feeling was like being screwed by a dog. He immediately drank another glass and said: "I'm really fine, you say it, Lin Xia. If you don't say it now, my curiosity will be even more uncomfortable..."
