Chapter 13 World One [13]
Is it more comfortable to sleep hugging someone or hugging a pillow?
Shang Siyu felt that the answer was probably the former, because this could explain why she hugged a pillow before going to bed, and hugged Jing Ke after waking up.
On the first morning when he woke up holding Jing Ke, Shang Siyu luckily withdrew his hand and Jing Ke didn't notice anything unusual.
But Shang Siyu was not so lucky the second time. Before she could move her hand away, Jing Ke, who was leaning on her shoulder, opened his eyes first.
"Shang Siyu, good morning." Jing Ke greeted calmly like yesterday, looking at Shang Siyu with his furry chestnut head.
"Good morning, good morning." Shang Siyu responded subconsciously.
Jing Ke blinked and asked, "I want to go to the bathroom, can you let me go?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean it." Shang Siyu withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, his face slightly flushed.
Shang Siyu explained shyly, trying to rationalize her behavior, "I was hugging a pillow before going to bed, but I don't know why, I ended up in this position just now. I didn't mean to, maybe I..."
A hint of understanding flashed in Jing Ke's amber eyes. "I understand what you mean. Holding something while sleeping has always been your habit. For people who live alone, holding something will make them feel more secure."
"The sense of security that comes from hugging a pillow is far less than that of hugging a person. It's normal for you to choose me over the pillow." Jing Ke paused, reached out to brush away the strands of hair that fell on Shang Siyu's face, and considerately tucked it behind her ear.
Then he said: "We are friends and partners. Providing you with a sense of security is also one of my responsibilities. You don't need to apologize for your behavior."
A trace of confusion appeared on Shang Siyu's face, and he hummed blankly. Then he saw Jing Ke leave his side very decisively and ran to the bathroom.
Only when the sound of the door closing reached his ears did Shang Siyu couldn't help but touch his face.
My face is so hot. Was I shy just now?
But why should I be shy? Jing Ke said that they are friends, so it is normal to sleep in each other's arms.
Shang Siyu tried to calm himself down and lower the temperature on his face.
Three minutes later, Shang Siyu, who had failed to calm down, rolled on the bed with a mess of thoughts and buried his face in the pillow.
Originally, Shang Siyu wanted to escape reality by pretending to be an ostrich, but she forgot one thing. When she rolled over to the right from her left side, the pillow she buried her face in was not hers, but Jing Ke's.
A familiar fragrance mixed with a faint fragrance flowed into Shang Siyu's nostrils. The familiar smell was easy to identify, it was the smell of shampoo.
But the latter doesn't smell like shower gel. Could it be the scent of Jing Ke?
After thinking about this, Shang Siyu immediately rolled back onto his pillow and tried to calm down again.
Raising his hand and touching his chest, Shang Siyu felt a heartbeat that was more obvious than usual.
Shang Siyu is 25 years old this year. Although she has no experience in love, she has noticed that her body's reactions are somewhat abnormal.
Normally, who would blush after seeing a friend's body, and who would have wild thoughts in their mind just by hugging someone?
"Shang Siyu, do you have any plans for today?" Jing Ke wiped his hands with a tissue and walked out of the bathroom.
"Ah, what are your plans for today? Today is Sunday, is there any place you want to go?" Shang Siyu quickly calmed down and rubbed his eyes to hide the blush on his face.
Jing Ke thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't have anywhere in particular I'd like to go. Why don't we discuss the details of the contract and ask other shareholders for their opinions on the cooperation?"
"Okay, then let's try to draft a first draft of the contract." Shang Siyu stood up, exhaled lightly, and patted his face.
"You invested 300 million and only need 28% of the shares. The shareholders will only be happy to see it happen and will not object." Shang Siyu said, actively meeting Jing Ke's gaze.
After seeing Jing Ke's amber eyes were clear and bright, without any trace of desire, Shang Siyu quickly calmed down.
Stop imagining things. Jing Ke just has a human body. She is not a person who needs love in essence, and she would never have that kind of idea.
I was shy just because it was my first time seeing someone else's body, and I was surprised by what I had never seen before.
-
Shang Siyu was right. No one would refuse to exchange 28% of Xinsheng Technology's shares for a 300 million yuan investment. Even after hearing about it, several other investors quickly doubled their investment while keeping their shares unchanged.
As a result, the balance sheet of Xinsheng Technology suddenly became abundant.
Jing Ke has channels for purchasing high-precision instruments. After going through the approval process, it only takes forty days to ship the machines from abroad, which can be said to be very fast.
After Jingke's investment was unanimously approved, finding and purchasing suitable land to build a factory became the most important thing at the moment.
"I personally think this currently unowned area in the high-tech park is a good place. Once our production line is completed, it can provide at least 100 basic jobs, which meets the government's subsidy requirements."
Shang Siyu, who had been well prepared, spoke eloquently on the stage, showing the information the two had compiled yesterday, which won the appreciation and admiration of many shareholders.
Even Cui Xiangxiang, a professional, couldn't help but nod his head and sigh in his heart.
She has grown to this level in just one month. Shang Siyu's talent in business may not be lower than her talent in scientific research.
In time, I am afraid that I will become Shang Siyu's vice president instead of a so-called senior who can guide her to make progress.
The meeting went very smoothly, but before it ended, Shang Siyu made a request.
"I hope the news of Xinsheng Technology's massive investment won't spread for now," Shang Siyu said sincerely from the seat at the head of the table. "Many companies in the industry are watching us. My personal opinion is that we should wait until our production line is established before making this news public."
"I agree. There are many procedures required for high-precision instruments. If our competitors try to make things difficult for us, we will definitely not be able to build a production line within three months." Jing Ke agreed.
Jing Ke said with a straight face, "The production line needs to recruit senior personnel proficient in instrument operation for training in advance. I hope the human resources department can ensure confidentiality during the recruitment process."
"Sister Cui, can this be done?" Shang Siyu asked.
Cui Xiangxiang nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on the senior talents. After they pass the interview, I'll have them sign a confidentiality agreement."
"But if you want them to sincerely abide by the confidentiality agreement, you shouldn't just pay them their base salary during the training period; it's best to add 80% of their performance-based salary," Cui Xiangxiang added. "Paying them the full amount is best."
"The full amount is no problem. If the money is not enough, I will make additional investments." Jing Ke said calmly.
When discussing work with Shang Siyu yesterday, Jing Ke also re-counted the assets under his name.
Excluding overseas real estate and shares, she has available liquid funds of up to 180 million US dollars, equivalent to about 1.3 billion RMB, and investing in emerging technologies has only used a fraction of this.
"If there is no problem with funding, there is no problem on my part." Cui Xiangxiang quickly expressed his opinion.
After seeing that no one had any questions, Shang Siyu announced, "This meeting is over. Thank you all for taking the time to write this. I will email you all about the follow-up progress."
Cui Xiangxiang deliberately slowed down his movements, and after most of the others had left, he gave Shang Siyu a look, indicating that he wanted to talk to her alone.
Shang Siyu subconsciously glanced at Jing Ke. Seeing that she was still conscientiously organizing the meeting minutes, he gently patted her shoulder and leaned over to say, "I want to talk to Sister Cui alone. Will you meet me in the office later?"
Jing Ke looked up and smiled at Shang Siyu, then made an OK gesture while holding the pen.
-
"Mr. Shang, is Jing Ke your friend?" Cui Xiangxiang said straight to the point after arriving at the small conference room. "With such a large investment and shareholding, I have to worry about whether she will regret withdrawing her investment later."
After hearing what Cui Xiangxiang said, Shang Siyu's eyes showed a hint of understanding. She knew that Jing Ke's charitable behavior would make people think too much.
"Sister Cui, don't worry. Jing Ke is a very good friend of mine. She helped me get my initial start-up capital." Shang Siyu assured.
"If she wanted, she could definitely replace me," Shang Siyu said sincerely. "She only wants 28% of the shares so that I can have more say with 30%."
After a flash of someone's furry chestnut head flashed through his mind, Shang Siyu added, "I have 100% trust in her. I will bear all the corresponding responsibilities for any of her actions."
After seeing that the expression on Shang Siyu's face could not be faked, Cui Xiangxiang finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.
"That's good. I didn't know Jing Ke's background before, and I was worried that she was sent by Kangxin Group." Cui Xiangxiang showed a trace of guilt, "I'm so sorry for doubting your friend just now."
"It's okay. If it were me, I would be suspicious too." Shang Siyu's expression gradually relaxed. "If there is anything I need to pay attention to in the future, Sister Cui, remember to remind me again."
Cui Xiangxiang nodded in approval, and silently raised his rating for Shang Siyu in his heart.
Not only does he have talent and genius, but he also knows how to handle things clearly. With a boss like him, there's no need to worry about losing talent.
With money, people and technology, it is difficult for new technologies to remain unknown in the industry. Once the production line is completed, they can quickly occupy the market and start making profits.
