Chapter 237 The Golden Chicken That Lays Eggs
Duanrao silently retracted his open chin, thinking that if he had never seen the world, then he had never seen the world.
This amount of money was indeed more than she thought she would ever be able to earn in her entire life.
The most important thing is that these are only the assets at this stage, and there will be more and more in the future.
[My master really raised me a golden rooster that can only lay eggs. It is a pure gold rooster that lays pure gold eggs! ]
Xi Jingyue was sitting opposite her and almost choked when he heard this. He had to admit that someone's description was as...appropriate as ever.
"There are basically no problems with the income, taxes and expenses. Everything is perfect and there are no hidden dangers."
After Mr. Gu finished his explanation, the head of the other side's legal team followed closely: "Since the opening of the auction house, we have held a total of 273 auctions, and 5,478 items have been sold. We have reviewed all the transaction contracts and there are no problems."
Duanrao had guessed that the amount of work involved in this contract review was not small, but he was still a little shocked by the number. When he looked at the two rows of people in the room, their faces were visibly much more haggard than before, and his conscience for being temporarily promoted to a capitalist hurt a little.
"Thank you for your hard work. You have all worked hard these past few days. How about this? I will pay your wages for these few days, as well as the bonus... The bonus will be five times your wages." Du Anrao looked at Xi Jingyue inquiringly, "How is it?"
Xi Jingyue just smiled but said nothing, but the two bosses couldn't help laughing: "Miss Du, you don't have to be so polite. We signed an annual salary contract with the company, which already includes this kind of business services. If we are sent abroad, there will be an additional bonus for field work. This will cost you another part of your salary. You are willing to give it, and we feel guilty for accepting it."
Duanrao showed surprise and stared at Xi Jingyue for a long while, but she didn't have the courage to ask how much the annual salary of these people was. After all, it was definitely not something that a new local tycoon like her with only billions of assets could afford. Is this the confidence that only a century-old wealthy family can have?
Xi Jingyue: “…” Don’t talk nonsense, it’s not as exaggerated as you think.
At this point, all the information that should be reviewed has been reviewed. All that remains is the handover of assets with Manager Wen, and the matter will be settled.
However, just as Duanrao was about to go out to look for someone, a rather discordant noise was heard outside the door.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come here again?"
"Why can't I come? Even if my husband no longer works here, I am still your cousin's wife and a member of the Wen family."
"My father and I have never thought of removing you and your cousin from the Wen family, but this is not the Wen family's one-man show, and it is even less likely to become the Wen family's private property in the future. You should have given up on this idea long ago, and you should have seen your place clearly and shouldn't have come here again."
"What do you mean? So, the rumors are true, and this auction house has changed hands? Who? Who exactly?"
Manager Wen's face changed slightly, and he immediately became alert: "What rumor? Where did you hear that rumor?"
"Don't worry about this. Just tell me whether you want to transfer this auction house to someone else."
"This is not your business."
"Who should be in charge? My husband is a veteran of this auction house and one of its shareholders. Without his permission, no one can transfer the auction house to someone else without our family's knowledge!"
"When my cousin was caught three years ago for falsifying accounts and withholding funds from the bank, his share of the dividend was cancelled and used to fill the funding gap he had in the past few years. In the past three years, my father and I felt sorry for you, an orphan and a widow, so we took out some extra money to support you. If you don't want it, just tell us clearly. It's the end of the year now, so starting next year, we won't give you a penny."
"Why don't you give it to me just because you say you don't want to? That money originally belonged to us, you have no right to embezzle it! What's the point of saying we are widows and orphans? My man is imprisoned, not dead! I finally got your true feelings out. You just can't stand seeing our family and your cousin doing well, and you wish he would die in there."
At this moment, Duan Rao, who was hiding behind the door of the conference room and watching the show through the crack in the door, had exactly the same expression as Manager Wen.
[How could there be such a clinging weirdo who doesn't understand what people say? Manager Wen is talking to her like a bullshit.]
"It's not that she doesn't understand what people say, but she pretends not to understand."
Xi Jingyue's sudden voice startled Duan Rao: "Mr. Xi..."
[How does Mr. Xi know what I am thinking? ]
"Because your expression is easy to understand. Everything is written on your face."
"Is... is that so?" Duan touched his face with a smile, "Well, you just said she was pretending not to understand?"
"If she really understood, how could she occupy the moral high ground and ask for money? To put it bluntly, her purpose of coming here is to ask for money. She is afraid that she will not be able to get money after you take over the auction house."
"I see. From what she just said, her husband should be Manager Wen's cousin, and he used to work in this auction house."
"Her husband should have been an accountant in the company." Mr. Gu watched for a while and then joined the crowd. "Manager Wen just mentioned cooking the books. Only an accountant can do this."
While the few people were discussing, the woman had gone from accusing Manager Wen of disregarding family ties to clamoring for the new boss who took over the auction house to come out and give her an explanation.
Manager Wen's face turned pale and he immediately wanted to ask someone to throw the woman out.
Unfortunately, before he could put it into practice, the person involved had already appeared in front of them.
"How are you going to get someone to give you an explanation? Should they just give you money? Or would it be better if they gave you the entire auction house?"
"Du...Miss Du." Manager Wen's eyes narrowed slightly. Xi Jingyue and others did not expect her to suddenly run out, and they did not have time to stop her.
The Wen family's cousin was also stunned, then her face darkened and she said arrogantly, "Who are you? I'm talking to your manager Wen, how can you interrupt me?"
Duan Rao smiled: "You have been clamoring to see me since the beginning, so that I can give you an explanation. Now that I have come out to see you, why do you think I am meddling in other people's affairs?"
"When did I ever ask to see you? I clearly wanted to see..." The cousin's wife stopped talking abruptly, and she looked like a chicken with its neck stepped on. "You...you are the new owner of the auction house?"
Duanrao stroked his chin and pondered, "If there is no second boss of this auction house, it should be me."
"How is this possible? You...how old are you?"
"It's not that bad. I just celebrated my eighteenth birthday not long ago."
"Only eighteen? This is impossible!!!"
