Chapter 418 Congratulations on joining the Big Bad Wolf
Qiao Xing was somewhat taken aback. "Really?"
Qin Ce thought for a moment and then said, "Go if you like it. Your happiness is the most important thing."
Qiao Xing hesitated, "But I might not get paid if I go."
Qin Ce gave her a strange look. "Don't you still have me?"
"Can……"
"It's not necessarily true that it will go bankrupt just because I say so. If you can make it work, it's better than you working for another company. Anyway, they're going to shortchange you on your salary."
Qiao Xing was touched by his words. Although she didn't want to rely on him for support, what he said made a lot of sense.
If she succeeds, she can earn more money than her salary.
"Okay, then I'll really go!"
Qin Ce nodded, then asked the next second, "Are they all men?"
"No, there's a girl."
Qin Ce considered it for a moment, but didn't say anything, which was considered as agreeing to let her go.
As for those two greenhorns who had just graduated, he didn't take them seriously.
Qiao Xing was also happy and kept putting food on his plate.
The next day, Qiao Xing messaged Tao Yang after getting up, and Tao Yang immediately offered to come pick her up.
Qiao Xing refused; she planned to go by herself.
After quickly tidying herself up, she took a taxi to the Big Bad Wolf Company.
Every time she saw the words "Big Bad Wolf," she found it somewhat amusing. How could anyone choose such a company name? It gave off a deceptive vibe, and job applicants would probably run away as soon as they saw it.
The company door wasn't closed, so she raised her hand and knocked. Less than two seconds later, Tao Yang rushed out.
"You're here, come in quickly."
Tao Yang warmly invited her in, saying, "Bo Yan is in the conference room."
Qiao Xing nodded and went to the conference room with him.
Shen Boyan was sitting on the sofa making tea. As soon as she came in, he picked up the teapot and poured her some tea.
"Please sit down," Tao Yang said.
Qiao Xing took off her bag and sat down at the coffee table. Tao Yang said, "You two chat, I'll go out first."
After he finished speaking, he walked out and closed the door behind him.
Qiao Xing was a little nervous. She looked at Shen Boyan, hesitated for two seconds, and then spoke, "That President Shen..."
Shen Boyan looked up at her and interrupted her, "You don't need to call me President Shen, just call me by my name like everyone else."
"Oh, so I can start work anytime?"
"Come whenever it's convenient for you," he said, taking a contract from the sofa and handing it to her. "This is the agreed-upon shareholding. You'll have the same 20% as them."
Qiao Xing picked up the contract and glanced at it. The contract was very short, only two pages long. After quickly reading it, she took out a pen from her bag and signed it.
She could sense their passion for entrepreneurship, and they probably weren't lying to her. Since she had signed the contract, she was clear about the responsibilities she would have to bear.
"I've signed it." Qiao Xing handed him the document. "Take a look."
Shen Boyan took it, glanced at it, and casually extended his hand to her, "Congratulations on joining the Big Bad Wolf Company."
Qiao Xing also reached out and shook hands with him.
Shen Boyan crossed his legs and said, "This is the last share quota. There shouldn't be any more shareholders joining after this. From now on, you are one of our shareholders, and you will live and die with the company."
Qiao Xing was embarrassed. "Is it that serious?"
Shen Boyan casually leaned back on the sofa and said, "Of course, you're practically the boss of the company now. If the company makes money, you make money; if the company loses money, you have to pay it back."
No wonder no one is joining. It's a small company that's just started. I doubt anyone would dare to sign this contract.
But she was instructed by Qin Ce, so she wasn't worried.
"Okay, but I'm currently taking my driver's license test. I was planning to look for a job after I got my license, but I didn't expect to run into Tao Yang."
Shen Boyan said, "Look at our place, it's not like a proper company. We don't have to follow the usual procedures like other companies. We can just do whatever we want, as long as it doesn't interfere with our work."
"Oh, that's wonderful!"
She never expected the company to be even more liberating than she had imagined.
Shen Boyan said, "After all, you are a shareholder, and no one can control you."
Qiao Xing was stunned. Although the word "shareholder" sounded tempting, she couldn't really immerse herself in the role when she saw that the company only had four people.
"Okay, could you tell me about the company's current business? What do I need to do?"
"Wait a moment." Shen Boyan got up and went out, returning shortly with a folder. "Take a look."
Qiao Xing took it and started looking through it, while Shen Boyan briefly explained it to her from the side.
"We originally planned to make our own games, but we didn't have a plan and didn't have enough funds, so it's been on hold. The first part is some of our tentative development strategies, and the second part is some projects we've taken on. Right now, we're mainly working on the projects for those clients."
Qiao Xing ignored the earlier development plans and focused on the current business operations.
They take on a wide variety of jobs, including games and software.
Moreover, these projects have tight deadlines, needing to be completed in one or two months.
If it were just one project, a month or two would be plenty of time, but with so many projects and only three people, it would probably be quite a challenge.
Remembering what Qin Ce had said, Qiao Xing suddenly asked, "Have they paid deposits for these projects?"
"It was given."
Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "Then how could we not have money?"
Shen Boyan lit a cigarette, sat down on the sofa, and said, "Time to pay the rent."
"..."
"Then, is it possible to get the remaining payment back?"
Shen Boyan glanced at her and said quietly, "If we don't get it back, we never even considered asking for the final payment. It would be great if they could just pay the deposit."
"That bad?"
"It's normal for small companies to be like this; they can't even win a lawsuit against them."
Qiao Xing was still puzzled and asked doubtfully, "But even if it's a deposit, these projects must cost a lot of money, right?"
"There are quite a few, but we are not the supplier."
"What do you mean?"
“We are not the ones who take on the project; we are the middlemen. They are the liaisons for the other company. We are at most the third party. They took on a project worth 300,000, gave us 30,000 as a deposit, and did not pay the balance.”
Qiao Xing found it hard to believe, and was also a little angry. "How could this be? Then why cooperate in the first place?"
"We don't have many connections because we lack operating funds. If we don't even take on these projects, we'll starve to death. We still have loans to pay off."
"Didn't you just graduate? How come you have loan debts?"
Shen Boyan flicked his cigarette ash, his expression quite calm. "I was too naive when I first graduated. I started the company with a loan. Originally, there were more than a dozen people, but since they were all classmates, everyone had their own ideas. After two months of struggling, the project failed, and everyone left."
"I see." Qiao Xing was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure what expression to wear. "Then why did you hire me in the first place?"
