Let's take a guess
Wang Xi took on the responsibilities of logistics and organizational management, as well as building connections. Guan Shanyue acquired the professional knowledge and devoted herself to the business. The team was young and capable, and within two months, they had already achieved remarkable results.
Guan Shanyue finished typing the last line, leaned back on his chair, and said half-deadly, "It's no use. From now on, we can't take on projects under 10 million. Compared to larger projects, the workload is just as great, but the profit is very limited. We are so small, we can't afford it."
The keyboard sounds stopped abruptly. Wang Xi looked up from his computer, glancing at the scattered people in the large office. The keyboard sounds started again: "Continue to recruit people and expand the company. Based on the current operating conditions, we need to have a team of at least 100 people."
Wang Xi kept his eyes on the computer: "But how to lead such a large startup team is also a problem. We need to learn from advanced experience first."
The gilded business card flashed through Guan Shanyue's mind, and she blurted out, "There's a very capable professional manager. When can we contact him for a discussion?"
Wang Xi remained silent and glanced at the time: "Let me remind you, the auction is almost over."
Guan Shanyue wailed, "Why do things keep happening one after another?"
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. Guan Shanyue looked down and saw it was Shao Zizhuo calling. She quickly pulled out her high heels hidden under the table, kicked off her sneakers, and stuffed them into the cabinet under the table. "It's too late. I'm leaving."
Wang Xi took out a pearl necklace from the file bag on her desk and pointed at Guan Shanyue's neck: "Give the client a good impression."
Guan Shanyue lowered her head and let Wang Xi tie the necklace around her neck. She waved her hand casually, then picked up the phone and trotted off: "Shao Zizhuo, wait for me a moment. I'm going downstairs."
Underground garage.
Shao Zizhuo held the steering wheel with one hand and held the phone with the other, talking on the phone: "If you have investment intentions in the near future, why not take a look at Lanshan." He didn't know what was said on the other side, and Shao Zizhuo chuckled, "Yes, it's opened by a friend of mine. It's been open for a short time."
He glanced sideways at a figure running towards him from a distance and said, "No more talking. I have something to do. Anyway, I can consider it if you need me."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Guan Shanyue opened the car door and squeezed himself in. "Here's the auction catalog? Let me take a look. Is there anything under a few tens of thousands? We can just bid on one just for show."
Shao Zizhuo handed it over and said, "Take a picture of whichever one you like."
Guan Shanyue took the slim booklet and flipped open the first page. It displayed the auction's grand finale. Diamonds were arranged in a flower pattern, with a rounded top and rounded bottom. A small hole was left at the end, connecting to a sapphire polished into a receptacle. This held a large, rounded Australian white jewel, shimmering with brilliance. A line of small print below indicated the jewelry's origins from a European royal family.
The footer indicated a huge starting price - fifty million. Guan Shanyue paused for a moment and turned to the next page without hesitation. It was beautiful, but this was not the time to enjoy it, otherwise he would have to sleep on the street soon.
She flipped through the entire booklet and picked out two pages. "These two, one with a starting price of 200,000, the other 350,000. They'll be easy to resell later."
Shao Zizhuo took the booklet and casually tossed it on the back seat. The car drove out of the underground garage, alternating between light and darkness: "No need to save money for me." He noticed her lingering, "The last one is quite nice."
That’s right, giving Shao Zizhuo some money is not going to save him any money. Guan Shanyue smacked his lips and said, “It’s not impossible.”
When the car arrived at the venue, Shao Zizhuo threw the key to the doorman and motioned Guan Shanyue to hold his arm. Guan Shanyue readily agreed, and the two entered the venue hand in hand.
Behind them, Li Si, Zhao Yi and their group walked over. The person next to Li Si rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "Yu Yang has returned to China?"
Li Si followed his line of sight and examined the person who asked the question from top to bottom, sneering: "That's the eldest son of the Shao family, Shao Zizhuo." These small families who want to curry favor with the powerful don't even do some investigation in advance. Li Si's impatience was written on his face.
Xiao Wu stared at it for a long moment, doubting his own eyes. "That shouldn't be the case. That person next to him is Guan Shanyue, right? That should be Yu Yang."
Zhao Yi quickly grasped the key point: "Do you know Guan Shanyue?"
Xiao Wu nodded: "We are high school classmates."
Li Si was astute, his mind racing, the corners of his lips curled up as he asked, "What's the relationship between Yu Yang and Guan Shanyue?"
Seeing the person he wanted to please was interested, Xiao Wu smiled flatteringly and spilled the beans, "That's for sure. Yu Yang is handsome. Ever since he entered high school, girls of all ages have been eager to get their hands on him. He's become a hot commodity."
"It's the same with Guan Shanyue. Who wouldn't like a pure, delicate, and beautiful girl? She receives so many love letters."
"These two people were the center of everyone's attention. Suddenly, one day, Guan Shanyue blushed and handed Yu Yang a pink love letter with a heart on it. At that time, they had just finished morning exercises, and everyone in the school was watching!"
"But within two days, Yu Yang went abroad, and Guan Shanyue became indifferent again, as if nothing had happened. But no boy could get close to her anymore. We all guessed that she was heartbroken and hated boys."
Xiao Wu looked around but couldn't find the two people. He said with relief, "I didn't expect that after so many years, they would be together again."
Li Si was holding back his anger and asked again, "Which high school are you from?"
Xiao Wu started to get closer again: "Brother Si, I went to the same high school as you guys." He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "It's just that we were a branch school. Apart from visiting the main school a few times for occasional activities, I didn't know much about your school, so I didn't know you back then."
Zhao Yi listened for a long time, still confused: "So what does this have to do with Shao Zizhuo?"
Li Si knew what was going on. He rolled his eyes at Zhao Yi, the idiot, and pulled Xiao Wu to the window. The floor-to-ceiling window was polished to a shine, allowing a clear glimpse into the venue. He searched for a while, found Shao Zizhuo, pointed at him, and asked, "Take another look. Are you sure this man is the Yu Yang you mentioned?"
After being asked so many times, Xiao Wu was becoming unsure. He narrowed his eyes and compared the person toasting in front of him with the image in his memory. "Yeah, Yu Yang looked like that, but he was younger then, not as tall as he is now, and he smiled more often than he does now."
Li Si couldn't help laughing towards the sky, and thought that Shao Zizhuo had found a substitute for Yuan Wangshu, and it turned out that Guan Shanyue had found a substitute for Yu Yang.
The last time he bullied Xiaguan Shanyue, Shao Zizhuo intercepted several of his family's projects, and he was beaten up by his father. This anger had been pent up in his heart, and half of it was released when Shao Zizhuo left Shao's last time, but today it has completely dissipated.
Li Si let out a sigh of relief and couldn't stop laughing. Shao Zizhuo, you have finally met your end.
Zhao Yi came over puzzledly: "Brother Si, what are you laughing at?"
Li Si put away his smile, but couldn't suppress it: "Don't ask. Let's go and say hello to Shao Zizhuo."
Zhao Yi was speechless: "He has been kicked out by Shao Corporation, why are you still trying to please him?"
Li Si sneered: "Shouldn't we greet him properly?"
In the venue.
The clothes add fragrance and the wine clinks.
Guan Shanyue held Shao Zizhuo's arm and was introduced to her by Shao Zizhuo: "This is Mr. Wang from Yunkun, and this is Guan Shanyue from Lanshan Investment."
The other person glanced at her face imperceptibly and forced a sincere smile: "You are so young and promising! We are all old, but the world still belongs to you young people!"
Guan Shanyue smiled. "Mr. Wang is in his prime, and he has many years of hard work ahead of him." She handed over her business card. "I'm just starting out in my career, and I'm embarrassed to take out my business card in front of a big entrepreneur like you."
Guan Shanyue added, "If you have any investment needs or projects to invest in, you can consider Lanshan. We guarantee to provide you with the best service."
Mr. Wang laughed awkwardly and muttered to himself, "Since Shao Zizhuo was kicked out of the Shao Corporation, he's really going from bad to worse. Supporting a woman? He's really useless."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Shao, long time no see."
Guan Shanyue glanced over and saw Li Si standing beside him, holding a glass of wine and smiling brightly, but for some reason, Guan Shanyue always felt that he was harboring some bad intentions.
Mr. Wang exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Si, then took his drink and said goodbye: "You young people, chat more. I'll go say hello to the others."
Guan Shanyue smiled and nodded.
As soon as Mr. Wang left, Zhao Yi appeared out of nowhere and formed a wall with Li Si, tightly blocking Guan Shanyue and Shao Zizhuo.
Li Si said with a wicked smile, "Zizhuo, where are you now?"
Shao Zizhuo glanced over coldly: "Is there something wrong?"
Li Si said sarcastically, "Hey, you left Shaw Brothers, and I don't know if you have a job now. We're friends, so how about I introduce you to someone?"
Guan Shanyue opened her eyes wide and asked innocently, "Isn't it possible that a company as big as Shaw Brothers can't afford to support a wealthy idler? Zizhuo only works for self-realization. Now that he has some free time, it's just right for him to rest."
Zhao Yi snorted coldly: "We men are talking, why are you butting in?"
Shao Zizhuo laughed in anger, pulling Guan Shanyue away, "If you can't learn to respect others, then get out of here." He was already taller than the two of them, and now his aura was fully revealed, even more condescending. "As if the last lesson wasn't enough, I don't mind teaching you a few more lessons on behalf of your parents."
Li Si subconsciously flinched due to years of conditioned reflex. Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, then he shouted, "Do you really think you're still the CEO of Shaw Brothers? Now that you have nothing, how dare you be so arrogant?"
Guan Shanyue and Shao Zizhuo stood side by side. Just as they were about to open their mouths to refute, Shao Zizhuo pressed Li Si's shoulders and gently pushed him aside: "Move aside, you're blocking the way."
Li Si's shoulders were held down, and the pressure of the elbows came upon him. Zhao Yi suppressed his nervousness, swallowed his saliva, and said arrogantly: "Shao Zizhuo, who do you think you are now? Why do you treat us like this?"
