Chapter 65

Playing stocks and hitting limit-ups? Buying an investment company? Having some money?

Wang Peng and Song Bin exchanged a look, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Xiao Na narrowed her eyes slightly, sizing Qin Ze up.

She noticed what Qin Ze was wearing.

None of it was branded, and the fabric even looked like cheap polyester!

Just then, Qin Ze saw the status bar above Xiao Na's head.

【Xiao Na, Rating: SSS】

【Occupation: Tengyi Network Technical Department Team Leader, Emotion: Confused】

【Wish: Wants to complete her game project as soon as possible, wants to attract some investment, wants to resign】

【Dilemma: Because the game project she developed is not valued by the company, she wants to attract investment herself to complete the project and then resign perfectly】

Qin Ze's eyes flickered slightly.

SSS-level?

This was the first SSS-level target he had encountered.

Tengyi Network Technical Department Team Leader? Game project?

Interesting.

Qin Ze never expected that after graduation, Xiao Na would have joined such a large company!

And she was in such a key core position in the department!

Qin Ze withdrew his gaze and then turned toward Song Bin.

"Binzi, what have you been doing lately? We haven't really been in touch since graduation."

Song Bin gave a bitter smile:

"After graduation, I couldn't find a suitable job, spent two years trying to pass the civil service exam with no luck, and later went back to my hometown county to help my old man run a hardware store."

Qin Ze was silent for a few seconds.

Song Bin had good grades in college and was a steady person, just a bit introverted and not good at socializing.

He never expected him to be doing so poorly after graduation.

"Do you want to come back to Jiangcheng?" Qin Ze asked.

Song Bin was stunned for a moment:

"Of course I do! But jobs are hard to find now, and my major isn't a match."

Qin Ze interrupted him.

"My company is short on people right now; if you're willing, you can come over and give it a try."

Song Bin clearly hadn't reacted yet:

"Brother Qin, come to your company? To do what? Where is it?"

Qin Ze crossed his legs.

"I'm planning to start a security company here; you can come help me manage the personnel!"

"I'll pay you twenty thousand a month!"

Qin Ze wanting Song Bin to come help wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision!

After all, for the security company, Qin Ze wanted Ning Wei to be the General Manager!

But dealing with the bodyguards below, it was best to have a man!

For Qin Ze right now, the only people he could trust were Wang Peng and Song Bin!

Wang Peng had a job!

So Song Bin was the most suitable candidate!

Twenty thousand!

Song Bin only made four or five thousand a month helping his father run the shop in the county.

He nodded repeatedly:

"President Qin, say no more—just for this offer, I'm more than willing!"

Qin Ze smiled:

"Then wait until you go back to make arrangements, and come to Jiangcheng next month."

"Okay! We'll keep in touch on WeChat then!"

Song Bin nodded vigorously.

Wang Peng watched from the side, finally unable to help but ask:

"Qin Ze, how much net worth do you have now, exactly?"

Qin Ze glanced at him, smiled, and said nothing.

Just then, Master Wang's first dish was ready.

The waiter brought it up—it was steamed coral grouper.

The fish was whole, the meat fresh and tender, sprinkled with scallions and ginger strips, drizzled with hot oil, and smelling fragrant.

"Come on, let's eat first." Qin Ze picked up his chopsticks, "We can talk while we eat."

The four of them began to eat.

Master Wang's skills were truly beyond reproach; every dish was exquisite and delicious.

As they ate, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

Wang Peng and Song Bin began chatting about funny things from college, Xiao Na occasionally chimed in, and Qin Ze listened most of the time, smiling occasionally.

After three rounds of drinks, Qin Ze looked at Xiao Na.

"Xiao Na, what kind of work are you doing now?"

Xiao Na put down her chopsticks and wiped the corner of her mouth.

"I'm currently..." she paused, "unemployed."

Qin Ze raised an eyebrow.

Unemployed?

The status bar clearly said Tengyi Network Technical Department Team Leader.

Why was she lying?

But Qin Ze suppressed the confusion in his heart and asked calmly:

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

Xiao Na looked at Qin Ze, her eyes filled with probing.

"Qin Ze, since you've started your own company and even took Song Bin on, are you hiring?"

"How about I come work for you in the future, what do you think?"

When Wang Peng heard this, he immediately started teasing:

"Great! Xiao Na is our class's academic star; with her helping you, the company will definitely grow bigger and bigger!"

Song Bin also nodded:

"That's right, Qin Ze, Xiao Na is very capable."

Actually, ever since she walked in!

She had been thinking about one question: Qin Ze was rumored to have just been dumped and laid off by his company!

So this couldn't be baseless!

Moreover, before she came, she had heard about Qin Ze's breakup!

So she couldn't believe that someone who had just been dumped and laid off by his company!

Could make a comeback in such a short time, start a company, and make money.

Facing the question Xiao Na threw out, Qin Ze understood.

Xiao Na didn't believe he really had money and was testing him.

Qin Ze smiled and refused directly.

"That really won't work!"

"My company is an investment company; people from the finance department can come, but I really can't arrange anything for non-professionals."

"I took Song Bin because my security company needs a man to coordinate with the staff!"

"Besides, you're our class's academic star; having you come here to do odd jobs would be a waste of talent, wouldn't it?"

Xiao Na's eyes flickered.

Qin Ze's words were watertight; he both refused her and complimented her at the same time.

"However... I think with your ability! You could totally start your own business!"

"And since I can start a business myself, why can't you?"

Qin Ze changed the subject.

"If you're short on money, I can give you some. If you want to start a business, I can invest even more."

Xiao Na was stunned.

She looked at Qin Ze, and for the first time, a serious emotion appeared in her eyes.

"Are you... serious?"

"Of course." Qin Ze nodded, "I keep my word."

Xiao Na was silent for a few seconds.

Then, she picked up her phone.

"Then shall we add each other?" She looked up at Qin Ze, "When I have a project later, I'll talk to you about it."

Qin Ze smiled.

He knew Xiao Na was interested.

"Sure."

He took out his phone and scanned Xiao Na's QR code.

Friend request accepted.

"Done."

Qin Ze put down his phone, "Let's continue eating."

Wang Peng watched from the side, his heart filled with emotion.

"Old Qin is really different now."

"The way he speaks and acts, he's got such an aura."

As he said this, he picked up his phone and took a few photos of the dishes on the table.

He also took a photo of Qin Ze sitting in the main seat smoking a cigar, then posted it to his Moments.

"Class reunion is boring; it's much better drinking with brothers! Thanks to Old Qin for the generous hospitality!"

The photo showed the table full of exquisite dishes and Qin Ze's profile.

After posting to Moments, he put down his phone and continued eating and drinking.

Third-floor banquet hall.

Zhou Hao was drinking happily, bragging to a few boys.

Suddenly, a girl came over with her phone.

"Brother Hao, look at the Moments Wang Peng posted!"

Zhou Hao took the phone and glanced at it.

In the Moments, Wang Peng had posted a few photos.

The first was a table full of exquisite dishes—steamed coral grouper, braised abalone, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall...

Every dish looked expensive.

The second was Qin Ze's profile; he was sitting in the main seat, holding a cigar, his expression leisurely.

The third was a panoramic view of the reception room—magnificent decor, gorgeous crystal chandeliers, leather sofas...

The caption:

Class reunion is boring; it's much better drinking with brothers! Thanks to Old Qin for the generous hospitality!

Zhou Hao's expression darkened instantly.

"This location is the Fusheng Grand Hotel?"

Someone nearby exclaimed.

"I just searched it; the place in these photos looks like the No. 1 Reception Room of the Fusheng Hotel! I heard that place is usually not open to the public!"

"Qin Ze is actually hosting guests in the reception room? And ordered so many high-end dishes?"

"Where did he get the money?"

"He must have been provoked, felt he wasn't invited and had no face, so he took out online loans to save face!"

Discussions erupted everywhere.

Zhou Hao gritted his teeth and returned the phone to the girl.

"Brother Hao." Huang Mao leaned in and whispered.

"Is this kid Qin Ze deliberately slapping you in the face?"

Zhou Hao didn't speak, but his face was already gloomy.

Just then, another boy stood up and said loudly:

"Brother Hao, since Qin Ze is at the hotel, why didn't he contact us? We're all classmates; he's hiding and not seeing us—what's going on?"

As soon as these words were out, others immediately chimed in.

"That's right! The class monitor is here today too; we must meet!"

"Let him come over for a couple of drinks!"

"Brother Hao, give him a call!"
