Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.
Her best friend not only stole the man she...
The aroma of the black pepper teriyaki sauce was irresistible! Yang Yajing felt her mouth water.
"Remember to call me next time you have something good to eat!" Yang Yajing quickly finished the large piece of steak. "Boss Xia, can you get Australian lobsters?"
"Save your breath!" Xia Changlong shook his head, then thought for a moment and said, "If the results are good this time, there will be lobsters next time."
"Okay! What does Boss Xia want to invest in?"
"This isn't an investment; we just want to create a company website. Technically, everything's fine, but the designs... to be honest, I'm not satisfied! They look outdated!"
"Let me see?" Yang Yajing took the printout from Xia Changlong, and asked as she looked at it, "Why did you decide to make a website, Boss Xia?"
"Isn't it you who said that the future belongs to online marketing? I've already invested in an internet company, how can I not be the first to break the mold?"
"Has the company hired customer service staff?" Yang Yajing asked again, her head still buried in her documents.
"customer service?"
Hearing Xia Changlong's questioning tone, Yang Yajing felt that Xia Changlong didn't seem to understand this new industry.
"Someone needs to reply to the emails we receive, right? Someone needs to summarize and organize the investment requests we receive, right? And what if there are complaints? We need to handle them, right? Are you going to do all of that yourself?"
Xu Wenbin nodded after listening. He had met many people in Hong Kong and said, "Ya Jing is right. We do need to set up a network department."
“Okay! I’ll have Secretary Huang take care of it tomorrow.” Xia Changlong nodded.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, Uncle!" Yang Yajing reminded Xia Changlong, "You should at least find a more suitable time to exploit me, right?"
"Oh! You're showing concern for my employees now? Who's the boss, you or me?"
"The boss can't prevent people from resting! You're making your hardworking secretary Huang sick, which won't do you any good!"
"Perfectly executed!" Xia Changlong said, though he secretly agreed. He remembered one time when Secretary Huang had the flu and took three days of sick leave; he was so busy he wanted to curse.
"These designs are alright, but as you yourself said, Boss Xia, they're too tacky! They're not attractive at all." Yang Yajing came to the same conclusion after looking at the three designs.
The first wave of people who are familiar with and use the internet are mostly young people in their twenties. This color scheme and table design are simply not to the taste of our target customers.
"Are there any companies you can recommend?"
“Yes, there are, but the prices are too unreasonable! And they’re all foreign companies, they don’t have any Chinese characteristics.” Yang Yajing shook her head. “We need to broaden our thinking.”
"Oh? How do I open it?"
"Hehe! How about I find you a few students to do part-time work?"
"Students? Can they handle it?" Xia Changlong frowned.
"I'm a student too, don't you think?"
Xu Wenbin felt that Yang Yajing wasn't too unreliable, so he said, "President Xia, why don't we let the young lady give it a try? If we find someone suitable, this person can be of use to us in the future."
"Fine! Two weeks. If you can't handle this, I'll go find a famous doctor!" Anyway, Xia Changlong wasn't short of money, so there was no need to be stingy. He just wanted to test Yang Yajing indirectly.
Maybe he was swindled out of a lot of money by her, and felt unbalanced if he didn't ask her to do something for him?
The discussion dragged on until past 10 p.m. Yang Yajing lives on campus, and it's likely she'll be past curfew by the time she gets back.
Yang Yajing called Yang Guohua and told him that she was going home today and not to lock the iron gate before driving away.
Yang Guohua was still very worried about his beloved daughter driving at night. He would stand at the gate waiting for her in the middle of the night.
Yang Guohua went to greet Yang Yajing only after seeing that her car had returned safely.
"Dad! Waiting outside so late? You didn't have to wait long, did you?" Yang Yajing was still in the same position, arm in arm.
"Isn't it because I'm worried you'll be driving at night?"
“Our daughter is all grown up, she knows what she's doing!” Yang Yajing comforted Yang Guohua with a smile.
"No matter how old you get, you'll still be a child in your mother's and my eyes, and we'll always worry about you! You'll understand when you have your own children!" Yang Guohua playfully pinched Yang Yajing's nose.
The person Yang Yajing told Xia Changlong was looking for was actually Zhou Pengfei's classmate at the Academy of Fine Arts.
The college entrance exam will be over in two days. If things had followed the same path as in his previous life, this person would have started his own web design studio and become a local expert in Jincheng.
Three days later, Yang Yajing went to Zhou Pengfei and asked him to contact that person.
His name is Chu Haotian. He has a good relationship with Zhou Pengfei and has met Yang Yajing several times.
The college entrance exam was over, and everyone was bored. Chu Haotian heard Zhou Pengfei invite him out for hot pot to chat, and he readily agreed.
Chu Haotian was a rather chubby-looking young man with a great appetite and a very easygoing personality. He especially loved buffet-style hot pot.
"Hi! Zhou Pengfei! Little beauty!" Chu Haotian greeted the two of them warmly. Ever since they met, he had called Yang Yajing "little beauty" and never called her by her name.
When I first met Yang Yajing, she was quite short. Now that she's grown taller, she hasn't changed her height, has she?
"Zhou Pengfei, what made you think of treating me to hot pot?" Chu Haotian asked after speaking, "Wait, is this meal yours or are we splitting the bill?"
"No, Yang Yajing is treating us!" Zhou Pengfei shook his head.
"Wow! This young lady is treating! I'm honored!" Chu Haotian said with a smile.
"Yes! I need your help, I'm bribing you!" Yang Yajing said with a smile.
"Little beauty really understands me! As long as there's food, everything's fine!" Chu Haotian said, picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat heartily.
As she ate, Yang Yajing slowly recounted what she wanted to say. When she mentioned the other party's company, Chu Haotian suddenly stopped chewing the mutton.
