Chapter 420 is indeed not very good.
Shen Boyan has achieved some success, but people only want him to work for the company. How could they possibly invest money in him? If he becomes successful, the investors will be unhappy, as they are all afraid of being overtaken by someone less capable than themselves.
Qiao Xing analyzed the situation and concluded that their main problem was a lack of money, especially for Shen Boyan, who was tied up in loans.
They have to pay back 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in loans every month. If they only focus on their own products, they won't be able to afford the rent, utilities, daily expenses, and Shen Boyan's loan payments.
So even if they don't want to, they can only take on these outsourced projects, earning the least amount of money while doing the most work.
If we had a little more free time, and could spend some time doing business and finding a truly reliable client, the company could get back on track and wouldn't be in this precarious state.
Qiao Xing bit her chopsticks, racking her brains for everyone she knew, but ultimately gave up.
Actually, going to Qin Ce would be a very simple solution, but if that were the case, her job here would be meaningless. She might as well just go to Qin Ce's company and find a low-paying job.
In the afternoon, Qiao Xing tried to write a plan, outlining a general gameplay idea, but after reviewing it, she felt it wasn't good enough and lacked any highlights, so she gave up.
Around five o'clock, she packed her things, left work, and went home. On her way, she stopped at the farmers' market to buy groceries before heading home.
Tao Yang created a group for her, with only the four of them. The group name was obviously chosen by Tao Yang: Big Bad Wolf Shareholders Group.
She has to go to driving practice tomorrow, so she won't have time to go to work in the morning. She mentioned it in the group chat.
After leaving the group chat, he sent a message to Qin Ce: I bought groceries, so don't buy any more when you get back.
Around seven o'clock, Qin Ce arrived home on time.
He washed his hands, came to the restaurant, sat down, and asked, "Did you go to work today?"
"yes."
How are you feeling?
Qiao Xing smiled and put some sweet and sour pork ribs in his bowl. "It's good. Everyone is doing well and there's a lot of harmony."
Qin Ce chuckled as well, but his laughter carried a different flavor. "In the early stages of starting a business, things are always harmonious, friendly, and full of passion."
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. I'm just reminding you that since you work there, you'd better keep evidence of any developments they talk about now, as well as future profit sharing, just in case."
"You mean, these things might cause conflicts in the future?"
"Isn't the purpose of starting a company to make money? Never test human nature with money. They just graduated and may still be very naive, just wanting to make a name for themselves, but people can change."
Qiao Xing looked at him and felt that what he said made a lot of sense, after all, she had already experienced it with her aunt.
"I've remembered everything you said."
Qiao Xing was feeling touched when Qin Ce poured cold water on her feelings, saying, "It's okay, but it's not certain that you can do it."
"..."
"I just started work today, can't you say something nice?"
Qin Ce considered it for a moment, then went along with her words, "Yes, good luck, and try to take the company public."
"That's more like it." Qiao Xing smiled again. She didn't dare to think about going public; just getting things on track would be good enough for her.
"Eat quickly. You have a driving lesson scheduled for tomorrow, I'll take you there."
Qiao Xing hummed in agreement, picked up her bowl, and began to eat heartily. She thought that the food she cooked herself was the best. They hadn't eaten much of the takeout they ordered at noon and were starving.
The next day, he took Qiao Xing to the driving school for practice. After Qiao Xing arrived, she had to wait. Although it wasn't the weekend, there were still several people waiting.
She and three other students were sitting on chairs waiting when the woman next to her suddenly spoke up, "You're here to learn to drive, have you bought a car yet?"
Qiao Xing turned to look at her. The woman was in her thirties, dressed fashionably, with permed hair and red nail polish.
Another boy said, "Why buy a car if you haven't even passed the test yet?"
"You can drive a car once you buy it and get your driver's license, right?" she said, a look of disdain on her face. "I really hate those people who don't have money to buy a car but still have to take the driving test. They waste other people's time."
Qiao Xing couldn't help but ask her, "Looks like you've already bought it?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I bother taking a driver's license test?"
"Oh, what kind of car is it?"
The woman seemed to be waiting for her to ask, and immediately said in a pretentious tone, "It's not a luxury car, just a Mercedes. My husband said that I'm a new driver, so I'll practice first, and we'll buy a better one when I'm more skilled."
"Oh, a Maybach?"
"No, it's just a Mercedes-Benz E300."
This car costs five or six hundred thousand yuan, so buying it to practice driving is quite extravagant. People around her would look on with envy and then praise her.
But who knows if she's telling the truth? Qiao Xing felt that someone who flaunts herself like that is definitely not as rich as she appears.
Qiao Xing didn't praise her, but nodded in agreement, "This car is indeed not very good."
The woman's expression changed; she seemed to be angry, but she suppressed it and asked with a smile, "So what kind of car do you drive?"
"I don't have a car."
The woman laughed in exasperation, "You don't even own a car, and you think a Mercedes isn't anything special? I thought you had a Maybach."
"I don't have one, but I think my husband does. Is it the car with three M's stacked together?"
Qiao Xing had previously looked up the brands of luxury cars, but there were too many to remember them all.
Upon hearing Qiao Xing's statement, the woman immediately thought she was showing off. If she really owned a Maybach, would she still ask such a question?
"You don't even recognize car logos, how dare you say your husband owns one? Hasn't he ever ridden in one?"
"You've ridden in one before." Qiao Xing couldn't remember. He kept changing cars, but he didn't want to show off to her anymore; it was pointless.
The woman scoffed and looked at her with an expression that said, "Keep pretending."
The students waiting nearby rolled their eyes at the conversation between the two. They were both so good at pretending. It's not uncommon to encounter this kind of thing in driving school; there are plenty of show-offs.
"Then ask your husband to come and take a look. I've never seen it before."
Qiao Xing looked at her in surprise, "You even bought a Mercedes to practice driving, how come you don't even have a Maybach at home?"
The woman choked on her words, glared at Qiao Xing, and said irritably, "My husband doesn't like that car!"
"Oh, what kind of car does he drive?"
"What's it to you!" The woman grabbed her bag and left angrily, sitting several rows away from Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing blinked. All she asked was what kind of car her husband drives. Why was he so upset?
She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, the next person to practice driving was that woman, and she went out to practice driving not long after.
Qiao Xing was bored while waiting, so she took out her phone and opened a simulation management game that she had downloaded last night.
She got so engrossed in the game that she still doesn't know what's so magical about it; it's just so addictive.
