Chapter 86 He only wants 50,000 yuan
A few days later, Luo Zhiwei had been with the company for a month, which happened to be the day Lu's Group paid salaries.
Luo Zhiwei stared at the bank information and froze on the spot. A full 50,000?
What's going on?
She walked into the president's office with her phone in hand. Lu Jingxiao was having a video conference with overseas partners, and the entire meeting was in English. Although he knew it was her, Lu Jingxiao didn't even lift his eyelids.
Luo Zhiwei was now in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.
Lu Jingxiao was still discussing cooperation with the other party, but he also took the time to give Luo Zhiwei a gesture, asking her to wait a moment.
Luo Zhiwei stood there obediently, waiting for the meeting to end.
Five minutes later, Lu Jingxiao ended the meeting and leaned back in his chair with a leisurely air: "What's wrong?"
Luo Zhiwei then stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "President Lu, something seems off about my salary."
Lu Jingxiao gave an "oh" and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"The salary they said was 50,000, but... I only received 50,000, without deductions for social insurance, housing fund, and taxes?"
Who would dare accept wages without deducting taxes?
Lu Jingxiao almost laughed at her: "Luo Zhiwei, didn't I tell you that your salary is 50,000 before tax?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
When did you say that?
How come I didn't know?
Lu Jingxiao stood up and took two steps toward Luo Zhiwei, the two of them very close: "Luo Zhiwei, you owe me 60 million. Even if you don't eat, drink, or spend any money, it will take you 100 years to pay it back. If you deduct the six insurances and two funds and taxes, when will you ever be able to pay it off?"
Luo Zhiwei then remembered and quickly said, "I have more than 16 million in my bank account. I'll pay you back 16 million first, and I'll pay you back the remaining 44 million slowly."
Lu Jingxiao: "?"
Luo Zhiwei is truly admirable; she used the 8 million he reimbursed and her own 8 million to repay him.
Is this reasonable?
"Luo Zhiwei, are you planning to use my money to pay me back?"
Luo Zhiwei's mind worked quickly, and she blurted out, "Wasn't it my money that you reimbursed?"
Lu Jingxiao choked, realizing it was true.
He volunteered to reimburse people for their expenses.
Isn't that Luo Zhiwei's?
Lu Jingxiao reacted for a moment, then quickly came up with a breakthrough: "I said you were working to pay off your debts, I didn't say I wanted your reimbursement."
Luo Zhiwei immediately retorted, "If I have money, why would I need to work for so long?"
Lu Jingxiao: "It's unreasonable for me to take back the money I've given out."
"How is it unreasonable?"
It's all money anyway, so what?
"I think it's unreasonable."
Luo Zhiwei fell silent. Was this even possible?
Is this appropriate?
Luo Zhiwei asked helplessly, "Then what do you want?"
Lu Jingxiao smiled and said, "Give me the salary you receive; this will be the first installment."
He even seemed a little smug: "You should thank me. I didn't charge you interest. If I had..."
Don't even think about getting rid of me in this life or the next.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Seriously, have some decency.
Somewhat angrily, she transferred her 50,000 yuan salary to Lu Jingxiao's WeChat: "I've transferred it to you, remember to accept it."
Lu Jingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression not exactly radiant, but close enough: "I'll take it."
He confirmed receipt of payment almost instantly.
Luo Zhiwei left the office in a huff.
Just as she was about to send a message to Gu Youran to complain, Gu Beixiao called.
"Brother Gu?"
"Okay, I'll come down now, please wait a moment."
Luo Zhiwei didn't inform Lu Jingxiao, feeling that if she did, Lu Jingxiao would probably get angry again. To avoid unnecessary arguments, she decided to be honest.
**
As soon as Luo Zhiwei pushed open the door to the coffee shop, she saw Gu Beixiao sitting by the window, calmly drinking his coffee, a stark contrast to the other people in the shop.
Luo Zhiwei stepped forward slowly and greeted him softly, "Brother Gu, what made you think of looking for me?"
Gu Beixiao pushed the menu in front of Luo Zhiwei and said in a clear voice, "Take a look and see what you'd like to drink."
After ordering a mocha, Luo Zhiwei looked at Gu Beixiao again, as if waiting for his answer.
“I haven’t contacted You Ran for a while. She must be swamped with work, barely answering the phone. I was just thinking of asking you out to check on things.” Gu Beixiao calmly sipped his coffee. “I remember, You Ran seems to have been stationed at Lu’s with her team for over a week now?”
During this time, he called Gu Youran, but hung up after only a few words, worried that the guy was working non-stop and was exhausted.
Luo Zhiwei twitched her lips and said awkwardly, "Brother Gu, Ranran is not stationed at Lu's."
"Hmm? The cooperation didn't go through?"
Gu Youran must be discouraged.
No wonder he didn't answer the phone.
Luo Zhiwei shook her head helplessly: "No, the cooperation is fine, it's just that... the Li family has increased their investment, and the project is now fully managed by the Li family. Ranran has taken her team to be stationed there, not at the Lu family. I haven't seen Ranran for a long time."
Gu Beixiao: "..."
"Anyway, Ranran is now with the Li family, and she's been replying to my messages much slower lately." Luo Zhiwei said helplessly. She didn't know what Ranran had been busy with lately; it felt like she was constantly on the go.
At this moment, the waiter brought the coffee, and Luo Zhiwei took it and drank a sip directly.
Gu Beixiao nodded knowingly: "I understand. I have a partnership with the Li family, and I'll be going there for a meeting in the next couple of days. I'll go and take a look in person."
He wasn't supposed to attend this meeting, but... since Gu Youran was at the Li family, he decided to go and check on her.
Gu Beixiao recalled that day in this coffee shop when Gu Youran messaged him saying Weiwei was in danger and asking him to come rescue them. He drove over, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard Gu Youran say: "Gu Beixiao is different from others... others don't recognize him, but she does..."
He knew that Gu Youran protected him and even broke with the second-rate Gu family for his sake, unlike the Gu family members.
There was no place for him in the Gu family, and now, Gu Youran was unwilling to return to that ruthless home.
She's not doing well herself, always busy, yet she still defends him in front of others. This silly girl, she's really silly.
That's incredibly stupid.
Luo Zhiwei nodded: "Yes, Brother Gu, you should go and take a look. I feel like she and Li Huaijin have some kind of grudge. When you go to see her, ask her about it."
Gu Beixiao frowned, and didn't relax his brows for a long time. How could he not know that You Ran and Li Huaijin had a grudge?
When did this happen?
"Okay, I understand." Gu Beixiao then turned to Luo Zhiwei: "And you, how have you been lately?"
He was like an older brother, caring for his two younger sisters.
Luo Zhiwei looked somewhat dejected. She took a large gulp of coffee and said, "Everything else is fine, except... I owe Lu Jingxiao a lot of money. I was planning to pay him back some of the money I had on hand, but he refused..."
Gu Beixiao: "..."
Silly girl, you can't see the situation at all?
Does Lu Jingxiao want you to pay back the money? No, he wants you to stay by his side forever.
If you return the money, what excuse will he have to keep you?
Gu Beixiao suddenly thought of something and had a bad idea: "If you trust me, you can transfer the money to me and I'll choose a project for you to invest in. Maybe you can earn 60 million in no time."
Luo Zhiwei's eyes lit up: "Great!"
