Chapter 58 Buying Stocks
"Early? What's early or not early?" Zhou Yang was puzzled. Did he think he would come tomorrow? "Oh, he's not coming tomorrow. I guess he'll come in a week."
Lin Qiyuan snorted "hmm" and had no appetite for the meal. He even broke two bowls when he went to clean up the kitchen.
After dinner, it was getting late, so the two went to the underground garage to drive the car out. Lin Qiyuan started the car three times before he successfully drove it out.
The morning rush hour was packed with cars and red lights. When Lin Qiyuan nearly forgot to turn on his signal when changing lanes for the second time, if Zhou Yang hadn't asked, "Are you... nervous?"
"No."
That means I'm nervous.
Zhou Yang thought Lin Qiyuan was just socially anxious and didn't want to see outsiders, so he quickly explained on Qi Dongdong's behalf, "Qi Dongdong is an okay person. Although he has a bad temper, he's not unreasonable. He just came to see me and sleep in the same room with me. I told him to try not to disturb you. Besides, he's shorter and not as strong as you, so you don't have to be afraid of him."
"Oh." The car finally steadied itself. There was silence for a moment before a deep, cold voice rang out, "We have extra guest rooms at home. It's not convenient for two people to sleep in one."
When they arrived at the studio door, Zhou Yang was about to get out of the car, but Lin Qiyuan reached out and held him down, preventing him from getting up, and stopped the car first.
Then he got out of the driver's seat, walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door, and handed the door to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang: “…”
This gentleman's service was a bit too thoughtful. Zhou Yang thought, maybe he was experienced in pursuing women.
Seeing that the hand that was offered to him was not retracted for a long time, and people were coming and going outside, and passers-by were looking at this side vaguely, Zhou Yang had no choice but to hand his hand to Lin Qiyuan, and let him take him out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Yang's hand was not released, but was held even tighter. He tried to pull it away, but it didn't move.
Lin Qiyuan looked into his eyes and said, "Have a good lunch. I'll pick you up after get off work."
Then, whether intentionally or not, she hooked his hand and got back into the car.
The palm of his hand that was tickled felt itchy and hot, as if a small ant had crawled into it. Zhou Yang calmed down for a long time before shaking off the ant.
When they arrived at the studio, only the intern Xiao Ma was there. Xiao Ma worked hard, but he really didn't have any talent. He really wanted to be hired and stay at the studio, so he was almost always the first to arrive and the last to leave, hoping to impress the two bosses with his diligence.
Zhou Yang and Song Xuhong both have complicated feelings towards Xiao Ma. They acknowledge his efforts, but also lament his ignorance of the times and his inability to see himself clearly.
Song Xuhong did talk to him about the issue of job change, but Xiao Ma was stubborn and insisted on shining in a position he was not good at.
Xiao Ma is usually very serious, but today he was smiling. When he saw Zhou Yang, he greeted him first and then said, "Brother Zhou, I just saw someone driving a Maybach to take you to work!"
Xiao Ma's university is not a very good one, it is more of an art university, and there are many beautiful boys and girls who are kept by him.
Xiao Ma usually listened to people chatting and observed Zhou Yang, and felt that he was not very rich. Today, he saw a luxury car worth nearly tens of millions, and the owner of the luxury car behaved intimately with Zhou Yang. He thought that Zhou Yang was also being kept by someone, and subconsciously looked down on him and spoke without thinking.
Zhou Yang heard his conjecture and his face turned cold: "Yeah, it was given to me by a friend."
I have to submit my entry before the New Year. Business has been good recently and I have received quite a few orders. Even though I have two full-time employees helping me, I am still too busy to handle it.
Fortunately, it is recruitment season now, so Song Xuhong is determined to recruit more people to help so that Zhou Yang can have time to complete the competition.
Zhou Yang's office was at the innermost room. Song Xuhong was afraid of disturbing him, so he moved all the recruitment printing and other equipment to the outermost room and ordered no one to disturb him.
Zhou Yang was busy until twelve o'clock. When he came out of the office to get some water, he found that everyone in the studio had left, and only a handy girl was sorting out the printed materials.
She might be a newly recruited girl. When she saw Zhou Yang, she was surprised. Then, perhaps remembering Zhou Yang's identity, she quickly said respectfully, "Brother Zhou, they are all going to eat. I want to go too. Do you want me to pack some for you?"
Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment between asking the girl to help pack the food, eating downstairs himself, and ordering takeout, when he heard the sound of the studio door ringing.
Zhou Yang looked up and saw a young man in a black uniform holding a heavy opaque packaging bag in one hand. He was waving at him and asking if he could come in.
After obtaining Zhou Yang's permission, the uniformed young man walked straight to Zhou Yang and said, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Yang nodded.
The young man in uniform smiled and said, "We are from Yuelai. This is the lunch your friend ordered for you and asked us to deliver it. Enjoy your meal!"
Friends? Lunch? Before Zhou Yang could even begin to wonder, he caught sight of a small note on the outside of the bag. It had a heart drawn on it, with the word "Lin" written underneath.
"Okay, thank you. Take care."
Yue Lai specializes in special dishes and is very famous in City S. It is not only popular among locals, but also among outsiders. However, because it is so popular, Yue Lai has purchase limits on almost every dish and never accepts takeout.
Of course, the prices are also considerable, not to mention asking Yue Lai’s employees to deliver the dishes personally.
In other words, Yuelai is a symbol of identity, status and deliciousness.
Zhou Yang opened the bag, and the aroma of food instantly returned to his nose from the food box.
He had been to Yuelai several times when he was a child and could never forget the taste of the squirrel mandarin fish and eight-treasure chicken there. However, because not only did he need to make a reservation every time, but he also had to wait in line for a long time, the prices were extremely high, and the portions were limited, Zhou Yang was too lazy to go.
Therefore, when the aroma of squirrel mandarin fish and eight-treasure chicken came out, Zhou Yang couldn't help but almost cried out in anger.
There was no chair next to the table. Zhou Yang was about to move one when he turned around and saw the girl, who looked so surprised that she could fit an egg in her mouth. "Brother Zhou, who is your suitor?"
Zhou Yang was stunned, not knowing how to define Lin Qiyuan. After thinking about it, he decided that pursuer was the most appropriate term: "Yeah."
When the little girl heard the "hmm", she exclaimed with gossip and excitement: "Brother Zhou, your suitor is too rich! Yuelai never accepts takeout!"
Maybe it was because he was related to the Lin family of Longcheng Film and Television. When Zhou Yang looked at him again, he felt that he was not an ordinary person. It was normal for the Lin family to do what others could not do.
"Then let's eat some together. It's a lot and I can't finish it by myself." Zhou Yang didn't know what to say, so he invited the little girl to eat together.
The little girl quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, Brother Zhou, this is all yours. If your suitor knew that you shared your love lunch with someone else, especially someone of the opposite sex, he would definitely be jealous!"
"Really?" Zhou Yang wondered. He had never seen Lin Qiyuan jealous.
"Of course I will. Brother Zhou, your suitor likes you so much, it would be strange if he wasn't jealous! Especially women, sometimes they get petty and pay a lot of attention to this! Anyway, if I bring food to my boyfriend and he shares it with another woman, I will break up with him immediately!"
"Is that so!" Zhou Yang always felt that Lin Qiyuan was indeed as narrow-minded as the girl in some aspects, so he decided not to give the food to others.
After quickly putting away the documents, the little girl got up and went out to eat, and Zhou Yang began to enjoy his delicious lunch.
I had just taken a sip of soup when Lin Qiyuan’s WeChat message came.
[Has the food arrived? Is it delicious?]
The soup almost made him feel refreshed. He couldn't say "It's OK, it's OK" in a reserved and calm manner without any conscience.
"It was delicious, beautiful, fragrant, and tasty. I've never had anything so good before. Thank you! But I hope you won't spend so much next time."
This statement was of course an exaggeration. When Lin Qiyuan investigated Zhou Yang's affairs, he also knew that Zhou had been to Yuelai several times when he was a child, and he especially liked the squirrel mandarin fish and eight-treasure chicken there.
【As long as you like it. 】
At Longcheng Film and Television, Lin Qiyuan was also busy all morning. He asked his secretary to pack a box of lunch and brought it up. After he was busy for another twenty minutes, the food had already gone cold. He ate the cold food bite by bite.
Li Baiyu was amazed watching from the side. In the past, Lin Laogou was very picky about food. Not only would the rice be cold, but he would also have to buy new ginger if there was an extra piece of ginger in the dish.
And as far as he knew, someone called Yuelai as soon as he got to work and asked for food to be delivered. Li Baiyu thought that Lin Laogou wanted to eat it himself. In order to avoid drooling sadly when he smelled the lingering fragrance of Yuelai's food in the office, he specially turned to a convenience store and bought two bags of snacks to satisfy his hunger.
And then, right away, this? This? Cold leftovers!
I’m so curious about who the person who received the meal is!
Lin Qiyuan saw Li Baiyu peeking out the door, waved him in, and pointed at the lunch box and said, "Please send it to the restaurant for me!"
Li Baiyu pretended to be very concerned about Mr. Lin: "Mr. Lin, is this all you're going to eat? I heard you reserved a meal at Yuelai. How about I send someone to pick it up?"
"No, I ordered it for someone else."
"Ah? Then why don't you order an extra one?"
Lin Qiyuan didn't answer, but tapped the table with his index finger: "How many shares do I have in Yuelai now?"
Li Baiyu knew more or less about Lin Qiyuan's investment.
"Five percent."
Yes, 5% of the shares is not much. If someone asks for too much and reserves several shares at once, it is not a good idea.
"Please make an appointment with Yuelai's shareholders in a few days. I want to buy shares."
Yuelai's shares are not complicated. The three major shareholders each hold 25%, Lin Qiyuan holds 5%, and eight others hold a total of 20%.
Even if he bought all the shares of those eight shareholders, Lin Qiyuan would only get the same as the other three shareholders.
Lin Qiyuan's investment focus in recent years has not been on the catering industry. He has invested in Yuelai, but has not made further investments because other people will not sell their shares easily. Therefore, his shares have not increased.
Li Baiyu knew that since Lin Qiyuan had asked for this, it was not just as simple as buying some shares. At least he was aiming for the position of the largest shareholder.
However, Li Baiyu felt that it was really unnecessary. To increase shares when Yuelai was developing at its best momentum, he could only use money to invest.
So, he asked, "Boss Lin, although this isn't difficult to do, it probably requires a huge amount of money. So, why don't we wait a bit..."
"No need. My husband loves Yue Lai's food. If I can't even let him eat his favorite food whenever he wants, what kind of man am I?"
Li Baiyu: “…” Damn, which lucky guy can get the favor of this bastard? Can he let his soul travel through time and space?
