Chapter 21 How About Working for Me?

Looking at the sky outside the window, it seemed that it was getting late. Jiang Chen glanced at the clock at the door, it was pointing at exactly 12 o'clock.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed something unusual at the door.

There were only three pairs of women's shoes, and one pair that he took off there. No, in Jiang Chen's impression, Xia Shiyu has a boyfriend.

"Won't your boyfriend be jealous by leaving me until so late?" Jiang Chen asked with a casual smile, but he noticed the gloom on Xia Shiyu's face.

In an instant, Jiang Chen understood the general direction of things.

A shrewd woman like Xia Shiyu would definitely not go and borrow money from someone who came from an abnormal way. Then there is only one possibility, that man abandoned Xia Shiyu after she lost her job. It is estimated that he also borrowed the debt from those outlaws in the name of Xia Shiyu.

This also explains why she lives in such a dilapidated apartment with no support at this moment.

"Your man is really not a thing." Jiang Chen couldn't help but say something for her.

"He's not my man." Xia Shiyu replied lightly, her tone indescribably cold.

"...Why don't you go back to your hometown?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised by the indifferent expression on Xia Shiyu's face. In order to divert this potentially embarrassing topic, Jiang Chen asked casually.

"I don't want to bring the trouble home." The strength on Xia Shiyu's face made Jiang Chen feel slightly moved.

This strong woman who used to be his boss seems to have her specialties. Jiang Chen once used to have sex with a senior executive of the company who took a fancy to her beauty, but thinking about it, he was evil. A manager who can open chain stores all over the country will definitely not be a generalist who thinks with the lower body.

"...Seriously, I really admire you." Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu's eyes and said with some emotion.

"Really?" The bitter smile was full of self-deprecation.

For some reason, when Xia Shiyu spoke, Jiang Chen found a trace of sadness in her eyes. No, maybe not sadness, but rather exhaustion.

As a woman, after experiencing such a big gap, she still doesn't give up on herself, and she firmly bears everything on her shoulders...

"..." Jiang Chen didn't know what to say to comfort her. He was not a man who was good at coaxing women, otherwise he wouldn't have been single for more than 20 years.

Silence came again.

"Want to hear my story?" Xia Shiyu's lips parted slightly.

Jiang Chen nodded.

Xia Shiyu poured out everything that happened after he fired Jiang Chen. From the poor management of the store, the company headquarters increasingly questioned her management ability, to the many anonymous complaint letters, and then she left the place where she worked for a year with a complicated feeling. . Unemployment, betrayal by her boyfriend, intimidation by the underworld, desperate embarrassment... In the end, she had to escape from the rented apartment, moved here, and worked in a nearby flower shop.

What made her sad and hopeless was that when she was facing the proud voice of her relatives on the phone, she was unable to express her sadness. I can only smile and say something against my heart: "Very good, everything is going well at work, Dad, Mom, don't worry too much...". After all, parents are getting old...

This kind of sadness, when Jiang Chen was unemployed,

also experienced.

Not for sympathy, just because it's too exhausting. She needs to find someone to talk to, and this person hasn't appeared in front of her until now.

"You're strong...call me if I can be of any help..."

"Thank you, but I don't need sympathy." Xia Shiyu smiled and reached out to wipe the wet corners of her eyes.

Laughed?

she?

Jiang Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is there something on my face?" Xia Shiyu was a little embarrassed by Jiang Chen's straightforward gaze, and touched his face, it seemed that there was nothing dirty.

"No... but in my impression, this is the first time I've seen you smile." Jiang Chen nodded stunned. He knew that if he looked in the mirror at this time, the expression on his face must be stupid.

Pfft, Xia Shiyu couldn't help laughing out loud. However, she was stunned immediately, because she was surprised to find that she actually laughed, and she laughed so happily.

"I said, is it so funny..." Jiang Chen coughed and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"...you're...well, interesting?"

"..." Why is it questioning? Jiang Chen rolled his eyes angrily.

"My story is over, can you tell me your story?" Xia Shiyu rubbed the corners of her eyes, her expression like melting ice and snow was so beautiful.

Really, with such a cute face, why do you have to keep a cold face as a whole. Jiang Chen couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

"Me? Haha, there's nothing to talk about, I just made some money from doing business recently." Jiang Chen was ashamed and didn't tell the truth, just made up a not-so-sophisticated excuse.

The corner of Xia Shiyu's mouth raised slightly, looking at Jiang Chen with some dissatisfaction. She didn't even notice that this rather small woman's expression actually appeared on her face.

"Oh? I don't believe it."

"I can't help you if you don't believe me," Jiang Chen spread his hands, some secrets could never be told. "However, I do believe that you can become an excellent manager. How are you? Are you interested?"

This is Jiang Chen's "other plan".

Start a company and let the little girl Xia Shiyu work for him.

It is definitely unreliable to always rely on gold for money, and one day people will doubt the source of his assets. He can't stand the investigation. If the country notices him, then he can only run to the other side of the world to live.

The best way is to open a company. He even thought about the name of the company, which is called Future People Technology! Sort out the "garbage" that can be seen everywhere in the apocalypse, and then launch epoch-making high-tech products.

What love is crazy, Microsoft, Samsung... all TMDs are weak. Can there be a technology NB after 200 years in NB? Um? Even the screen is a computer formed by holographic imaging. Can you make it? Um?

If those high-end gadgets that only exist in science fiction films are displayed, I am afraid that consumers all over the world will be crazy about them!

It's not over yet, it's just the electronics side.

What Blizzard, EA, Sega... also have to kneel and lick TMD. A virtual reality technology will completely explode, and playing online games with a helmet will not be a dream. Once mature virtual reality technology comes out, who would be willing to play games with a mouse or a handle?

And then to appliances, cars...even military, even space!

...cough, it's a bit too far, and the meal still has to be eaten one bite at a time.

There is no special reason for choosing Xia Shiyu. It was purely because Jiang Chen couldn't find anyone else, and he also trusted Xia Shiyu's ability. Although Xia Shiyu had offended him before, after so many things, Jiang Chen found that he did not hold grudges as much as he imagined. Perhaps, this has something to do with her not bad nature. Or maybe, it was just a feeling of sympathy for her similar experience with her later.

So when he saw Xia Shiyu's dejected appearance, he still came to the rescue, and had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation.

"Interested?" Xia Shiyu was stunned, not understanding what Jiang Chen meant.

"You have to work in the flower shop for a few years to pay off my money. Besides, you are now unemployed. Isn't this looking for a job for you?" Jiang Chen spread his hands.

"The company you run?" Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously.

"Didn't I say I'm in business? Look, you don't believe it." Jiang Chen spread his hands, showing a helpless expression.

"Oh? Then don't I have to be your subordinate?" Xia Shiyu gave Jiang Chen a teasing look.

"Why, can't I? I'm looking forward to the way my former boss will work hard for me." Jiang Chen said with a smile, but the look on his face was really serious.

Closing his eyes slightly, Xia Shiyu pondered for a moment.

This proposal is very tempting. For Xia Shiyu, who has lost her source of income, she can't find a reason to refuse.

"I promise you."

"That's great," Jiang Chen laughed, stood up, and stretched out his right hand, "That's a job, Manager Xia, you have been hired by Future People Technology Co., Ltd. with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan."

The monthly salary is 10,000, which is almost the same as her previous job. Jiang Chen's generosity made her look a little complicated. I haven't seen each other for so long. Has this former subordinate grown to this level?

Holding Jiang Chen's outstretched right hand, the warm and rough feeling made her feel a slight tremor for some reason.

"Such a high salary? Let me state in advance that I don't accept unspoken rules." Xia Shiyu surprised himself by making such a joke.

Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded. He was amazed by Xia Shiyu's charming moment. This iceberg beauty actually started a dirty joke with him?

"Haha, no, no. However, the company does not prohibit seducing the chairman." When it comes to joking, this serious beauty is naturally no match for Jiang Chen. Hearing the word "seduction" in Jiang Chen's mouth, Xia Shiyu blushed in embarrassment.

However, what made her feel incredible was that, in addition to anger, she was more... ashamed?

why is that...

"Can I find out about the company I'm about to take up?" However, Xia Shiyu, who is well-known for being able, quickly recovered from this unnatural emotion and cut to the point, "Futureren Technology Company, listen to the name. It should be a company mainly engaged in high-tech industries. Am I in charge of sales or R&D management? If it is in the field of R&D, although I have no management experience in this area, I am confident that I can be familiar with it within a month. position, will…”

"Stop it, stop it," Jiang Chen hurriedly raised his hand, motioning Xia Shiyu to stop talking, then under her questioning gaze, he cleared his throat, "In a nutshell, you are the CEO, and I will leave everything to you. Just do it."

If you have something to do as a secretary, if you have nothing to do as a secretary. This is his mother's life as Jiang Chen's ideal boss. He doesn't have so much spare time to manage a large group of people.

Xia Shiyu's expression suddenly became strange. She was saying that she had never heard of Future People Technology... I'm afraid this company...

"Currently, this company is still in the conceptual stage," Jiang Chen said indifferently about what Xia Shiyu was worried about, "Don't you feel very excited? You will become China's Steve Ball. Mo, and I, will become China's Bill Gates!"

Jiang Chen said this line emotionally, but he held it back for a long time, and finally his mother found a chance to say it.

"..."

"Eh? Wait, what are you doing with your phone?"

"Book a bed for you." That look already explained what kind of hospital bed was reserved.

"Fuck, you..."

Finally, Jiang Chen snatched Xia Shiyu's phone and tried to convince her to listen to her finish.

Take a deep breath.

"If you don't join us now, you will regret it even more after 5 years! Just like when no one was optimistic about Ma Yun... Wait, wait, don't take out your phone, I'll say it carefully," Jiang Chen laughed and quickly calmed down. Xia Shiyu, whose face was about to go wild. He has no literary talent and doesn't know how to incite people. He wanted to copy the micro-business in the circle of friends, but he didn't expect to make him even more suspicious... Let's talk well.

"Cough cough, to put it simply, your position is CEO, but because the company doesn't have that much business at the moment, you can also do the job of general manager. At this stage, I will pay you 10,000 yuan a month. I don't need you to pay me back the money in a hurry. I really don't like that amount of money. Maybe your salary for a month will be more than that amount. Don't look at me like that, I'm not kidding. Briefly describe your task, I will call you 500,000 yuan, and you will help me register the company. Then you don't have to worry about the next thing, about two months or so, you will be busy. "

Some speechless glances at Jiang Chen, who felt good about himself, Xia Shiyu sighed.

"Aren't you afraid that I abscond with the money?" Xia Shiyu said in a teasing tone.

"You're not that kind of person," Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "And it's not a loss to spend 500,000 to recognize a person, compared to the future market value of my company."

Anyway, I haven't found a job yet, and I still owe so much money... Xia Shiyu, who had made up her mind, no longer struggled, and nodded silently to show her understanding.

...

Years later, when Xia Shiyu recalled this day, she still sighed. When asked by the media how she felt about her almost rejecting Jiang Chen at that time, Xia Shiyu just said this sentence with emotion.

"Sometimes, being worth tens of billions of dollars and being poor are really just a thought."

-

-

"It's getting late, so I'll go back first." Not only is it late, it's almost one o'clock in the morning.

"Well..." Xia Shiyu stood up silently and sent Jiang Chen to the door.

"Remember to send me the bank card number later, I will call you in advance for the salary in July, and the salary in the future will be settled at the end of the month... Hurry up and find a better place to live, it's not good for girls to live in such a place Safe, let alone a beauty." Jiang Chen shrugged teasingly. The mobile phone number and QQ number have just been exchanged, and the specific work contract cannot be signed until the company has completed it. However, Jiang Chen didn't care much about the contract. After all, there was no doubt about hiring people, but not people who were suspicious. Xia Shiyu's character is still worthy of his trust.

When she heard Jiang Chen call herself a beauty, Xia Shiyu's face flushed slightly. Although many people have called her that, but this is the first time the feeling of this heartbeat is racing. However, Xia Shiyu naturally didn't show the demeanor of a little woman, just nodded calmly as always.

"understood."

"That's it, I have to go out in a few days, you may not be able to contact me." With a smile, Jiang Chen turned and left the humble low-rent house.

"Wait a moment..."

"Huh?" Jiang Chen turned his head in confusion.

"...Thank you...that...at that time, it was handsome."

In Jiang Chen's surprised eyes, Xia Shiyu quickly closed the door, making a sound of light.

This chick... won't look at me, will she? Jiang Chen thought of it a little narcissistically, and couldn't help touching his nose cheerfully.

However, it might just be a simple thank you.

Jiang Chen didn't think much about it and walked downstairs.

...

Leaning behind the door, Xia Shiyu panted slightly and slowly slid onto the ground, the cold tiles stuck to her cool thighs, cooling her chaotic emotions a little.

Just now... what happened. How could I say something so embarrassing...

Xia Shiyu covered her cheeks to hide the burning sensation in her hands, her lips trembling slightly.

What a shame...I want to die...Ahhh!

With a "humiliated" expression, he plunged his head into the arms that were wrapping his knees, and Xia Shiyu let out a strange moan...
