Chapter 17: Making a Million in Three Seconds
Xu Wei's few remaining vestiges of conscience made him refuse, "Isn't that a bit too bad?"
Murong Yue's gaze fell on his face, and turned to pity, "You are too kind, that's why you are bullied by them."
Xu Wei explained, "No, it's just that the communication wasn't going smoothly. It can't be considered one-sided bullying."
What's more, if he hadn't run into Murong Yue, he would not have proposed any strategy to ease the situation, but would have fought to the end.
Murong Yue shook his head, "I only believe what I see."
"If you continue to plead for them, I will make them pay double."
Xu Wei, "How do you double it?"
Murong Yue, "I'll let you be their interviewer."
It was hard for Xu Wei not to plead for them, "Don't do this, they are my classmates."
"My presence at the interview will affect their performance."
Murong Yue kept his word, "I'll ask Secretary Ren to arrange it now."
He made a phone call and asked Secretary Ren to come over and give the instructions in person.
Xu Wei persuaded him verbally but did not try to stop him.
He thought of another question, "Wasn't the Jiuchuan job fair cancelled?"
Secretary Ren explained, "The job fair hasn't been canceled, it's been rescheduled to next week. Because of the hasty notification, we've arranged for someone to make on-site announcements today. Everyone who goes to the job fair should be able to receive the gifts prepared by Jiuchuan. Those few people just now might not have noticed what was going on there."
Not only are Lu Chi and the others confused, they are also blind.
Is it really possible to enter Jiuchuan and work under him?
Xu Wei pondered this and nodded, then asked, worriedly, "Why did you change the time? Did something unexpected happen?"
Ren Secretary, "The business direction has been temporarily adjusted, and the recruitment notice and process need to be revised."
Xu Wei, "What business? Tell me more about it."
Secretary Ren glanced at his boss before replying, "We need to recruit more people for Wei Yue, the gaming department, and the newly established real estate development department."
Xu Wei nodded.
He had heard of the game club a long time ago.
In the game revenue rankings, a game made by Jiuchuan three years ago is ranked first by a large margin.
There are several more following closely behind.
There is not a single failed game produced by Jiuchuan.
Either get the award, or get the money, or both.
Xu Wei felt a lot of pressure when he thought about the "Huangdu Farm" he was in charge of.
After sending Cheng Nian back in the afternoon, I will continue studying.
In comparison, the newly established department made him even more puzzled. "Is Jiuchuan's next target real estate?"
Murong Yue took over his words, "Yeah."
Are you working in real estate now?
He thought the vent would be a cemetery.
Xu Wei did not give Murong Yue any advice.
His business acumen is far inferior to Murong Yue's.
He modified the news that Secretary Ren told him, posted it in the class group, and tagged Lu Chi.
What Lu Chi and the others think is none of his business.
Xu Wei looked at the message sent by Cheng Nian and asked him to order breakfast first, then looked at Murong Yue, "I'm going to have breakfast with my friend."
"What brings you to our school so early?"
Murong Yue, "I just want to accompany you."
He said considerately, "I know you want to be alone with your friend. Don't worry, I'll just follow you from a distance and won't disturb you."
Xu Wei refused, "No."
Is this also from "High Emotional Intelligence Love Skills"?
What did you teach?
Xu Wei, "Don't you have to work?"
Murong Yue, "I also have two days off."
Xu Wei gave him some advice, "Go play with your friends."
Murong Yue didn't want to speak, "They are not as important as you."
Xu Wei wanted to say something more, but Cheng Nian sent her a photo showing that breakfast was already on the table.
"If you want to follow, then follow. Just don't show up." He said casually and hurried to the agreed place.
Cheng Nian was a little surprised to see him late, "What happened?"
Once when they met, he arrived half an hour early and saw Xu Wei at the agreed place. Only then did he realize that Xu Wei always left home a long time in advance for fear of unexpected situations.
So when they made an appointment to go out together, Xu Wei was never late.
"It's just a small problem, but it's been solved." Xu Wei sat down and calmed his breathing. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat the noodles when he looked back.
Cheng Nian followed his gaze but saw nothing. "What's wrong? Is someone chasing you?"
Xu Wei thought about Murong Yue's face and said, "No."
He sent a message asking Murong Yue if he had eaten breakfast.
Only after getting a positive answer can I continue eating.
Cheng Nian looked at him for a while, then looked outside the rice noodle shop.
Based on his understanding of Xu Wei, there must be something out there.
After breakfast, Xu Wei asked Cheng Nian, "Where do you want to go?"
Cheng Nian took out his phone and said, "I had already planned it last night."
"Let's go to Jiuchuan Shopping Mall first. I heard there are a lot of hidden gems here. After shopping, let's go eat this burger. It's a French brand, and it seems they only have one branch in Shanghai."
He then arranged for coffee and bread and desserts for us to take away.
Cheng Nian asked him, "What do you think?"
Xu Wei told him truthfully, "The hamburger may not suit your taste. It's very greasy."
“The beans in the coffee shop are not as good as those in the chain stores, and the operating environment in the bakery kitchen does not meet the standards.”
"No way!" Cheng Nian didn't believe it. "I can't step on three landmines, right?"
Xu Wei didn't intend to let him waste his money. "I've worked part-time in all three of these stores."
Cheng Nian curled his lips and said, "I've been studying strategy guides all night."
"It's fine for Jiuchuan, but I don't really like shopping. I just want to check in."
"I finally found a few places that you rejected, but you rejected them all." He was dejected for a few seconds. "By the way, are there any places where you work part-time that are particularly conscientious and have delicious food?"
"Yes." Xu Wei told him the cruel truth under his expectant gaze, "Basically, they all went bankrupt."
"The only one still standing is Biyunzhuang, where we ate that day."
Cheng Nian still remembers the long string of zeros on the bill.
"I'm fine with eating some junk."
Xu Wei thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask other people if they have any recommendations."
Cheng Nian, "Who is it? Murong Yue?"
Xu Wei, "No."
That's even more unreliable.
"Let's go to Jiuchuan Shopping Mall first." Xu Wei went to the roadside with him to take a taxi.
By the way, send a message to Secretary Ren to inquire.
Secretary Ren sent a long list of familiar restaurants.
Xu Wei: Transfer 200
Xu Wei: Let’s have some real stuff
Secretary Ren collected the money in one second.
Secretary Ren: I know some small shops, but they may not suit your taste, so I didn’t recommend them just now.
Secretary: [Collection]
Xu Wei:.
He opened it, took a look, and passed it to Cheng Nian, "Pick one."
The information is very detailed, recording everything from the reservation process to the special dishes of each season.
Cheng Nian saw something was wrong immediately, "Your friend is so meticulous, could he be in love with you?"
Xu Wei, "No."
Cheng Nian looked unconvinced. "If it's not love, then it's because I need something from you? Otherwise, why would I be so attentive?"
Xu Wei told the truth, "He likes money."
"It cost two hundred."
That makes so much sense.
Cheng Nian couldn't refute it.
"Okay, okay." Cheng Nian said angrily, "I'll make a reservation at a restaurant first, and then we'll go shopping at Jiuchuan Shopping Mall."
While there were dozens of stores on the list, they didn't have many options given that many of them required reservations two days or even a week in advance.
It took three phone calls to book a hotel.
Cheng Nian almost wanted to go directly to the restaurant.
However, I still went to Jiuchuan Shopping Mall with the intention of investigating.
He originally thought that he had no interest in shopping.
"Oh my god, how could this book be here! It's been out of print for a long time. I've been looking for it online for a long time and can't find it."
Cheng Nian touched the worn but well-preserved book and opened it carefully.
Xu Wei watched him buying goods like a hamster.
After buying the book, Cheng Nian found his favorite toy from childhood. It was broken by his cousin and he was sad for a long time, so he couldn't help but buy it.
I walked to the next store and smelled a familiar aroma.
"The smell of this perfume... When I was traveling with my mom before, she bought several bottles."
Cheng Nian was incredulous. "Our whole family loved it, but she later tried several purchasing agents but couldn't find it."
Later he thought that it was his memory that beautified the taste.
There are also handmade cups and saucers, each one is unique.
Cheng Nian couldn't bear to part with them and bought a bunch more.
Xu Wei was still sane and stopped him from going upstairs. "Send your things to storage. We should go have lunch."
Seeing Cheng Nian hesitate, Xu Wei reminded him again, "The restaurant is reserved."
Cheng Nian, "Oh."
That's not a good contract to break.
Next to the storage counter, there is a special express delivery point.
Cheng Nian took out the fragile items and handed the rest to the courier.
The courier packed and weighed the package with ease, and when handing over the shipping bill, he asked him, "Do you want insurance?"
Cheng Nian nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
After collecting the money, the courier put the receipt on the box and said, "Sending at 6pm, arriving the day after tomorrow."
Cheng Nian was holding the list and thinking about it as he came out of the mall.
"Murong Yue is indeed amazing."
If he didn't have other things to do after returning to school, he would have wanted to change his ticket.
Stay and continue shopping to see how many surprises there are.
Xu Wei had to admit, "In some aspects, it is true."
He is also very good at games. He can give suggestions and examples readily. It seems that he has played all the management games.
Those who are reliable at work don’t look like one person.
Xu Wei was muttering in his heart when Cheng Nian suddenly grabbed his arm and leaned his head towards him. "When I say run, you run with me."
Before Xu Wei could ask, Cheng Nian called out to him softly, "Run."
Xu Wei followed him into the mall and left from another exit.
Cheng Nian simply pulled over a taxi on the side of the road and stuffed him in.
Only after Xu Wei got in the car did he have time to ask, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Nian glanced in the direction of the mall and said, "Two people have been following us."
"I thought it was a coincidence at first, but we were halfway through our shopping when we came out of the mall and they came out too."
Cheng Nian's face was solemn. "Why are you suddenly targeting us?"
Xu Wei's breathing stopped for a moment due to embarrassment. "...Maybe you saw it wrong."
"No." Cheng Nian shook his head. "They were wearing suits, it was obvious."
Xu Wei said dryly, "Oh."
Cheng Nian became suspicious, "Why are you reacting like this? Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know." Xu Wei denied.
Cheng Nian narrowed his eyes and put down the phone he was about to use to call the police. "Forget it, I got rid of it anyway."
After coming out of the restaurant, Cheng Nian paid special attention and found that the two people appeared again.
He took Xu Wei for a walk around the mall as if nothing had happened, blocking the people who were following them.
Xu Wei really wanted to pretend not to know him, but no one gave him the chance.
Cheng Nian asked directly, "You followed us for the whole morning, what do you want to do?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Murong Yue's face, "Hello, I'm Xu Wei's boyfriend."
"Wait, I have something to tell you." Xu Wei pulled Murong Yue away first, "If you can keep quiet later, then don't say anything."
Murong Yue was about to ask.
Xu Wei racked his brains, "I think you look more handsome when you're silent."
"I want to show my friends your most handsome self."
Murong Yue's frown relaxed, "Okay."
And he did it.
No matter what Cheng Nian said.
Murong Yuedu replied coldly, "Yeah."
Cheng Nian stopped asking after a few questions and quietly asked Xu Wei, "Is he mentally ill?"
Xu Wei's eyes widened, "No."
He argued, “He just doesn’t know how to communicate with people.”
"Okay." Cheng Nian was still a little dissatisfied.
In his opinion, Xu Wei likes to hide things and has to handle everything by himself. Wouldn't he be sulking every day if he stayed with such a taciturn person?
But this idea soon changed.
He and Xu Wei went to the coffee shop. Murong Yue didn't say anything, but booked the whole place.
Several baristas surrounded them, explaining the aroma of the beans and giving them a taste test.
Finally, he let them choose their favorite cups and coffee, and prepared two bags of coffee beans for him to take back to Beijing.
He wanted to buy some desserts, so the waiter cut them one by one and let him taste them.
Cheng Nian opened his mouth to stop her, but not as fast as she chopped down the knife.
In the end, he still picked up a lot and received some brand-name peripherals as well.
Cheng Nian was outside the high-speed rail station and said with great emotion, "I understand now."
"Money really can solve love problems."
Cheng Nian felt relieved. He was really happy for Xu Wei. "VV, congratulations."
Before leaving, he pulled out another wrapped object from his backpack and said, "I have a book for you."
"I hope you can read it carefully when you go back."
Xu Wei took it and asked curiously, "What book?"
Cheng Nian kept it a secret, "You'll know once you open it."
He turned and entered the station, waving to Xu Wei.
Before Cheng Nian disappeared, Murong Yue asked, "What book did he give me?"
Xu Wei also wanted to know, so he got in the car and opened the book "It Only Takes Three Seconds to Make a Million".
Is there something wrong with Cheng Nian's brain?
Xu Wei opened the book and read the contents without giving up.
When I opened the book, I saw a scratch-off ticket.
The author has something to say:
