Chapter 10
After eating the noodles, Xue Mi felt warm all over and her stomach was a little bloated. She strolled along the nearby river for a while and took some night photos. Unfortunately, the pixel of her phone was not high, so she could only see a dark mass and a little light.
She thought it was very beautiful and happily posted it on her Moments.
After a while, Xue Mi received a call from Zhang Xuan, saying that she was also taking a walk nearby and they could go together.
When Zhang Xuan came over, Xue Mi realized that her friend was here for a blind date today. Unfortunately, the quality of the blind date was not high. She happened to see the photo Xue Mi sent, so she made an excuse to slip away.
"Uncle and aunt are urging you to get married?" Xue Mi was quite surprised.
"That's not the case. It was introduced by my leader and it's not easy to promote." Zhang Xuan was also helpless.
Unlike Xue Mi who works in a company, Zhang Xuan passed the civil service exam right after graduation. Her workplace is close to home, making her the envy of many people.
The only thing that Zhang Xuan was not satisfied with was the various old men and women who were eager to introduce her to potential partners. There were so many of them!
Some can be refused directly, but for others, you can only deal with them reluctantly.
Zhang Xuan held Xue Mi's arm and said, "I still want to play for a few more years, but those people are all rushing to get married, it's so boring."
Take the man today for example. He has good conditions and looks okay, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Xuan felt like she was a piece of pork being picked on, which made her lose her appetite.
Hearing that Xue Mi finally got the inheritance left by her mother today, Zhang Xuan seemed even more excited than her best friend: "So you really have become a rich woman? How much money?"
Xue Mi smiled and made a small gesture.
"One million? No, no, I gave you 300,000 at the beginning, it must be more than that," Zhang Xuan shook her head and instantly became excited: "10 million? It must be 10 million, right! Wow, there is a multi-millionaire among my friends! I can walk sideways on the street in the future!"
Xue Mi was amused by Zhang Xuan's exaggerated performance and laughed so hard that she fell over. She then pulled Zhang Xuan aside and asked if she had time to accompany her to look at houses on the weekend.
She could finally realize her lifelong dream.
Zhang Xuan nodded repeatedly and continued, "By the way, remember to change your phone. It's been almost two years. If I hadn't been sharp-eyed just now, I wouldn't have known you were so close to me."
Xue Mi smiled and said yes.
"Now that you've bought a house, you also have to consider buying a car. But you don't even have a driver's license yet. Why don't you go and get a driver's license first?" Zhang Xuan was definitely envious of her best friend's overnight wealth, but she was also happy for Xue Mi from the bottom of her heart.
True good sisters are certainly not meant to make you jealous, but to cling to others!
The two of them fantasized about cars and houses by the river for a while. When they talked about happy things, they couldn't stop laughing, and passers-by couldn't help but look at them sideways for a while.
The two looked at each other and laughed even more happily.
"If you suddenly have such a large sum of money, what are you going to do?" Xue Mi asked Zhang Xuan curiously.
Xue Mi suddenly received a large inheritance, as well as a bunch of antiques and jewelry that she had never dared to think about before. Standing by the quiet river, she suddenly felt a little empty in her heart.
She can't even spend all the interest generated every day.
"I don't need to buy a house now. My workplace is so close to home, so there's no need to buy a car," Zhang Xuan thought seriously. "If I had so much money, I would definitely travel around the world, first playing around China, then going abroad, and flirting with some handsome guys while traveling. Maybe I could collect a bunch of ex-boyfriends from all over the world?"
She became more and more excited as she talked, as if she was discussing an exciting card collecting game.
The two girls started laughing like crazy again. The temperature was obviously quite low, but as they talked, they felt hot and sweaty all over. They were so happy.
They chatted until after nine o'clock in the evening, then they took a taxi home. As soon as they got in the taxi, Xue Mi received several financial management plans from Yuan Xuebing. Each plan involved funds of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, with risks of high and low levels. Of course, the corresponding expected returns were also considerable.
According to Yuan Xuebing's advice, one should not put all his eggs in one basket. A diversified mix of investments can maximize benefits while reducing risks.
As expected of a financial manager who specializes in serving big clients, although the restaurant he chose was quite ordinary, this financial strategy really impressed Xue Mi.
She was not in a hurry to make a decision, but sat in the quietly moving online car-hailing vehicle, seriously considering her next investment strategy.
Halfway through reading, I received a call from Lawyer Feng, discussing which cities we were going to visit next month and the details that we should pay attention to.
After hanging up the phone, the driver in the front seat couldn't help but sigh: "You young people are so tired. You have to work overtime at this time. If you ask me, those unscrupulous bosses who make people work overtime should all be hanged from the street lamp."
Xue Mi's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.
Although she felt that what the driver said was right, when she thought about it, she seemed to be the one who should be hung on the street lamp.
After all, Yuan Xuebing is now her financial manager, and Lawyer Feng is temporarily employed by her.
Thinking back to her previous attitude towards overtime work, Xue Mi silently struck a wooden fish for herself in her heart.
————
It was Friday afternoon and the company was not very busy. Most people were thinking about the weekend and had no intention of going to work.
The HR department finally recruited a new person and said that after another week of training and handover, Xue Mi could leave happily.
Now that she has become a billionaire, Xue Mi can leave whenever she wants and does not have to care about such a small salary and penalty. But she is fine now, so she might as well finish the work well, which can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end, and everyone can part ways in peace.
The newcomer is a young girl who just graduated last year. She is a bit shy and gets embarrassed easily.
Xue Mi was like this when she first started working. Naturally, she was more patient with newcomers and taught them carefully and step by step.
This newcomer was also well-behaved, except for being a little embarrassed on the first day. Since then, he has been sticking to Xue Mi and calling her sister. Some people in the office laughed and said that Xue Mi had a little duckling that would follow her wherever she went.
The newbie didn't know how to respond, so Xue Mi grabbed her and said, "Since you know I brought you here, you can't bully the newbie after I leave, or I'll make trouble for you."
The man laughed again.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful for what one has received, and one should be soft-hearted when receiving something from someone else. During this period, Xue Mi was very generous, and her colleagues who had a good relationship with her received benefits, so they naturally became more polite.
Sister Huang, the only one who got nothing, was also scolded by Xue Mi so much that she dared not say a word. At this time, she just rolled her eyes in disdain, and was glad that this guy who was so arrogant and disrespectful to his seniors could not stay for long.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, the new employee asked Xue Mi if she was free and wanted to treat her to a meal.
Xue Mi shook her head: "No, you haven't received your salary yet, right? I'm treating you today. There's a store I've wanted to go to for a long time, but it's boring to go alone, so having you as a companion is great."
She had made an appointment with that store a few days ago and was originally planning to go with Zhang Xuan, but unfortunately Zhang Xuan had to work overtime, so she had no choice but to cancel the appointment.
Now that the newlyweds have come to our doorstep, it’s just right for us to be together.
Xue Mi asked the dinner partner next to her if he was free in the evening.
During this period, the three of them basically had lunch together. Since they had invited new people, it would be difficult to leave behind their original dining partners.
The dinner partner nodded repeatedly: "If someone invites me to dinner, of course I have to go."
The newlyweds were thinking about paying in advance later, but when they heard the name of the restaurant, they couldn't help but shiver.
She knew this restaurant, it was a very famous Cantonese restaurant, and its most famous dish, besides its authentic taste, was its high price.
She secretly calculated the money in the card and felt that she probably couldn't pay the bill.
Xue Mi couldn't help laughing when she saw the expressions of the newlyweds: "I told you not to pay, I'll treat you. I remember you are from Cantonese, come and taste it to see if the food here is authentic."
The dinner partner also patted the newcomer on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. She's a rich woman. Just follow her."
The layout of the private room is very refreshing, and it is obvious at first glance that it is a place where people can eat in peace. However, there is no recipe. The daily menu is all determined by the chef based on the ingredients of the day.
In other words, there is no limit to how expensive it can be, and you don’t even know how much the meal will cost until the bill comes.
Not to mention the timid newcomers, even those who wanted to come and have a free meal with the rich woman would feel a little uneasy at this time.
She still had the nerve to eat a meal that cost several hundred yuan, but looking at the environment here, the average cost per person was probably over a thousand yuan.
So, is it true, as many people in the company guessed, that Xue Mi is actually a rich second-generation who came to the company under an assumed name to experience the life of a commoner?
The dinner partner couldn't help but burp nervously.
Speaking of which, is it too late to hug someone’s thigh now?
The newlyweds didn’t think too much about it, they just felt that this Cantonese restaurant lived up to its reputation and the food was indeed amazing.
It's the price... She silently glanced at the black abalone placed in front of each person. It was a whole piece slightly larger than a palm and soaked in a rich soup. If she remembered correctly, this thing would cost thousands of dollars each.
I didn't expect that Sister Xue, who looks gentle and good-tempered, is actually so rich!
The newcomer looked at Xue Mi with even more admiration.
Xue Mi also enjoyed the meal very much.
She is not so sensitive to price now, but is sensitive to taste and quantity.
Even if it tastes good, it won’t work if you don’t feel full.
Compared to Western restaurants where the food is presented in a fancy way but you can only eat a small bite, traditional cuisine is obviously more to her liking.
The products of this shop are as stable as the legend says, with crispy skin, tender meat, juicy deep-well roast goose, sweet and sour pork with exquisite sweet and sour sauce, and braised pigeon with skin so crispy that it looks like it is wrapped in a layer of glass candy paper. Of course, there is also a bowl of soup cooked to the perfect temperature and a variety of steamed snacks.
These are the real delicacies!
Although this restaurant claims to be a traditional Cantonese restaurant, the dishes are served based on the number of people, one portion per person. The only difference is that the portions are much larger than the one she ate at a few days ago, and the dishes are served faster. Soon, several plates were placed in front of her.
Because the three of them ordered the most expensive set meal, which included a lot of rare seafood. But seeing that Xue Mi only took a small bite of the most expensive seafood and then concentrated on eating other dishes, the waiter finally couldn't help but asked if these dishes were a bit unpalatable.
Xue Mi wiped her mouth: "It's okay, but I'm tired of eating these, I want to change the taste."
These simple words instantly made the waiter and the other two people feel extremely wealthy.
Only those who eat these precious ingredients as a daily routine can say such things.
The dinner companions confirmed once again that Xue Mi was indeed a rich second-generation hidden among these ordinary people!
