Xia Changlong probably forgot that Yang Yajing is a college student, and it wasn't the weekend. She was in class at eight or nine in the morning, so why would she be secretly looking at her phone?
At this hour, Yang Yajing's phone was not only silent, but also locked in the locker. How could she possibly reply to messages?
It wasn't until lunchtime that Yang Yajing took her schoolbag out of a locker and routinely checked her text messages.
Normally, her phone would receive frequent text messages from Chen Jiaoyun, like clockwork, but seeing Xia Changlong's number today was quite unexpected.
Xia Changlong would only reply to her occasionally; he never sent her any messages on his own initiative. He was a very busy man, the president of a conglomerate—who would have time to chat with her?
"This old man skipped work?" Yang Yajing muttered to herself as she opened the message.
Seeing the message above, she didn't think much of it and replied, "Boss Xia has guts to admit defeat! Don't worry, we are law-abiding citizens and won't evade taxes."
Before Yang Yajing could even put her phone in her pocket after sending the message, she received a reply from Xia Changlong instantly.
"Have you checked the accounts?"
"Not yet! Class just ended, let's eat first. Food is essential for life, you'll get hungry if you skip a meal! I'll check after school, don't worry, I trust you."
Secretary Huang was genuinely startled when Xia Changlong, who had just received a text message, suddenly looked up and asked, "What time do university classes end?" When did this boss start caring about university students' schedules?
"Around 3:30," Secretary Huang said, then asked, "Are we recruiting college students?"
"No, just asking."
3:30? That means we'll have to wait another three hours! Ugh! Xia Changlong couldn't wait for Yang Yajing's reaction to seeing the account balance!
Three hours felt like a long time. Xia Changlong was itching to play a trick on someone, so...
"Xu Wenbin, have that girl take a look at which companies are suitable for investment?" Xia Changlong made a phone call to Xu Wenbin.
"Chairman Xia, isn't it too risky to ask a child about investment?" Xu Wenbin disagreed.
"Just giving her a test to see if she's capable. Didn't she want a position from me?" Xia Changlong's first sentence sounded normal, but his next sentence made Xu Wenbin, who was drinking tea, spit out a whole document of tea. "She just swindled me out of more than ten million yuan. I won't feel right if I don't exploit her labor a little!"
"Pfft! Chairman Xia! You're really giving her an extra percentage of the profit?"
"It's not a dividend, it's the gambling debts I lost! Gambling debts!" After ranting, Xia Changlong lectured Xu Wenbin, "So, I'm telling you, don't get involved in gambling! Anyone who does will suffer!"
Xu Wenbin was truly at a loss for words. Who had gambled? And who had lost? Why was he being lectured? Xia Changlong was only in his fifties, wasn't he? Why did he seem so senile?
Before they could exchange more than a few words, Secretary Huang returned and sent Xia Changlong to a meeting, thus ending their conversation.
This meeting was really long! Xia Changlong was starting to wonder if his team of professional elites were a bit too stupid. How could they have so many questions when even a college girl could think of something like that?
Amidst the lively debate below, Xia Changlong began to drift off into his own thoughts. Just then, his personal cell phone rang.
It's a common practice within the Huaxia Consortium that cell phones aren't allowed during meetings. Normally, if someone's phone rings during a meeting, they'll be scolded by Xia Changlong.
Upon hearing the phone notification tone, everyone fell silent instantly, exchanging nervous glances. They wondered: which brainless, unlucky idiot forgot to mute their phone?
But to their surprise, Xia Changlong, who had been serious and somewhat impatient, slowly took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at it, and suddenly revealed a wicked smile.
Goodness! Is that expression scary or terrifying? It's so unsettling, isn't it?
However, this expression only lasted a moment: "You guys continue, I'm going to make myself some tea!"
Everyone: "..."
This is even more unreasonable, isn't it? Usually when President Xia wants tea, he says: "Secretary Huang, make some tea!"
Could it be…? “Secretary Huang, are you about to lose your job? Or fall out of favor? President Xia has gone to make himself some tea…”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Although Secretary Huang was also suspicious, he wasn't that neurotic.
It's probably the message I was waiting for this morning, and I've just received it now. He guessed it must be very important business intelligence!
Little did Secretary Huang know that this was actually Xia Changlong teasing the children and just for their amusement!
He said he was going to make tea, but he couldn't wait to get back to his top-floor office and went straight into the staff lounge.
There were a few secretaries in the lounge eating cookies when they suddenly saw their CEO walk in and pick up a thermos. They were so frightened that they all fled from this troublesome place.
Finally opening the message, Xia Changlong was quite satisfied with Yang Yajing's reaction: "Boss Xia! How rich are you? You casually type eight figures? I can't even bear to pay taxes!"
"Now you know you're asking for an exorbitant amount, right? Your father is rich! Take the money and do something practical?"
"Do your employees even know what kind of person you are now? Calling yourself 'I'? What kind of work do you get done? I won't do murder or arson! Don't even mention eight figures, I won't do nine or even tens of figures!"
"Who asked you to kill or commit arson? I'm just showing you some information so you can choose a decent company to invest in! If you dare to choose the wrong one... hmph!"
"Boss Xia, your company has hired so many experts and talented people at high salaries, do you really need me as an advisor? Is your company about to go bankrupt?"
"How dare you talk like that? I'm giving you a test! You want to get paid for nothing and you're asking me for a position?"
