Chapter 763: Chapter 753: Plan in Action, Baffling Notification
After securing his investment, Wang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it had been agreed upon earlier, he still felt uneasy until the money was in hand!
This was not a small sum of money. It was only because he knew Su Qing had earned quite a lot that he dared to ask; otherwise, he wouldn’t have.
Science fiction is a money burner; the average person wouldn’t dare to try it because there’s a high chance of losing everything.
The past few days have been Wang Fan’s vacation period. As a director, he also needed to give himself a break; even a robot couldn’t last without a rest.
However, even though it was a vacation, it wasn’t a complete rest. Every day, he still received plenty of calls seeking cooperation, investment, roles, and resources, experiencing both pain and joy.
Over the next two days, Su Qing stayed at the company with Shen Yi, watching her command the team with authority.
During this time, two team leader-level figures were reported by female employees, with chat records as evidence. Plus, with other employees serving as witnesses, the matter was confirmed. Shen Yi showed no mercy and directly terminated the employees involved.
As for the others, it was either due to lack of evidence or private benefits exchanged. Regardless, during these two days, Baihua Company was in a state of polarization.
The leaders of various departments wore worried expressions, while the atmosphere among the employees was unusually relaxed, as this issue was primarily targeted at the company’s leadership.
Over the past year, Shen Yi’s focus had been on Jiang City, not much in the capital, naturally allowing some people to develop certain thoughts.
Even though Tang Nan was stationed there, she wasn’t a professional and couldn’t handle some matters. Shen Yi took the opportunity during this visit to warn some people, preventing them from causing trouble.
As the boss of the company, she wanted to make it clear to some individuals that the company could run without them.
As she had expected, once a few team leaders and a deputy manager were dismissed, the company immediately made personnel adjustments, promoting some outstanding and capable individuals, which added a bit of vitality to the company.
After all, the capital, unlike Jiang City, didn’t have many positions perfected; it had long entered a stable phase. Otherwise, Shen Yi wouldn’t be comfortable leaving.
Entering a stable phase may seem fine, but there are drawbacks too, such as limited upward mobility for entry-level employees.
It’s not an old company, and the employees are generally young, the oldest barely in their early forties, with most being young professionals.
The leadership was mostly in their thirties, with some in their twenties; retirement was nearly impossible unless a leader voluntarily resigned, otherwise, junior employees had no way to advance.
Regarding expansion, Shen Yi considered it, but competition in the capital was too fierce; otherwise, she wouldn’t have opened a branch in Jiang City.
At the end of the year before last, due to some staff moving with her to Jiang City, several positions were vacated. This time, by removing a few more, she also gave hope to those below.
As for why only team leaders were dismissed, Shen Yi simply smiled without explanation, giving him a meaningful look.
Meanwhile, at Capital Finance University, Su He was dragging her three dormmates out for a meal.
"Susu, look at you. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come out with you. It’s like being with a celebrity; we can’t even enjoy a meal," Lv Xiaoxia sighed, poking the grilled meat on her plate with her chopsticks.
"Well, isn’t it because Susu is now a notable figure in our school? A famous little rich girl. Look, even Qin Kai from the next class has looked over here several times, and mark my words, when we go to pay the bill later, it’ll have been paid for by someone," Ying Tiantian added.
As Su He’s fame grew, she finally showcased her beauty. Wealthy and beautiful, with a brother who’s a big shot, it’s no wonder she’s popular, and she naturally has many suitors.
For the past half year, they’ve noticed that whenever they went out with Su He, they’d inexplicably become the center of attention. Although not as severe as celebrities, people would occasionally glance their way, making it uncomfortable for the average person.
And the times when they dined out and the bill was secretly paid by Su He’s admirers weren’t unprecedented. So now, whenever possible, they settle the bill in advance. It’s just that the portions here are small, so they weren’t sure how much to order, eating and ordering as they went.
"Qianqian, what’s your take?" Lv Xiaoxia and Ying Tiantian asked the dormitory’s aspiring graduate student.
"Huh? It’s delicious!! Mmm!"
The three of them: ...
"Don’t mention it; seeing them just irritates me. Do they have nothing better to do?" Su He sighed, completely uninterested in her suitors.
"Chasing a girlfriend is legitimate business, right? Hey Susu, isn’t there anyone you find acceptable?" Lv Xiaoxia asked with a smile.
"Do you think any of them are acceptable? They’re so immature, I have nothing in common with them. How about you and Tiantian, how have you been doing lately?" Su He suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the two raised their hands simultaneously, showing her an okay hand gesture.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already told my boyfriend about this. He’s very interested, and everyone in their dorm knows we’re roommates, so there’s no doubt about the authenticity of the message." Lv Xiaoxia assured that everything was under control.
Ying Tiantian nodded and added, "I also mentioned this incident casually to a few classmates in our class. When I went to the student council today, people even asked me about it. I didn’t admit to it but didn’t deny it either, just said, ’Can’t talk about it,’ which made them even more convinced."
That’s right, the roommates were following Shen Yi’s idea for Su He, spreading some rumors through their mouths. They could show their intentions, but the plan couldn’t be revealed to them. Of course, some benefits could be promised appropriately.
She was treating them to a meal today because of this issue, but the real reward was Tang Nan’s signed photo, plus Su Qing would take a group photo with them next time.
In just two days, the rumor that Su Qing did not invest in "Demon Capital Fortress" and didn’t really look favorably upon it was already spreading in a small circle within the school.
There were even ’troublemakers’ leaving comments under the promotional video for "Demon Capital Fortress," trying to stir things up. But the time was still too short, and it hadn’t attracted much attention yet.
Put it aside, both Lv Xiaoxia and Ying Tiantian were quite impressive, almost like a spy operation. Even when they first heard about this, they were surprised, but even now, they still thought this was Su He just being irritated by the other side for clout-chasing and deliberately explaining on behalf of her brother, so they naturally did their best to help.
As for Tao Qian, the top student preparing for exams, her eyes could barely accommodate anything other than studying and eating.
"That’s good, apart from our own class and your boyfriend’s side, Xiaxia, don’t tell others, it’ll seem too deliberate," Su He nodded and said.
Soon, after the three finished their meal and went out to pay, they discovered that the bill had already been settled by someone. Su He walked out expressionlessly after seeing this.
She knew who had paid, but she didn’t say anything, not because she enjoyed small perks, but because there was a precedent before. After Qin Kai paid for her, she was going to transfer the money to him, and then he requested to add her on WeChat and pestered her for a long time.
Afterward, Su He just acted as if she didn’t see it. If he wanted to do it, that was his business. She had already made her point clear.
Lv Xiaoxia and Ying Tiantian glanced at Qin Kai’s direction and then followed with a smile.
"Su He! Su He, wait a minute!"
Seeing that they were leaving, a tall and reasonably good-looking guy hurried out and quickly stopped them, none other than Qin Kai, who had just paid.
"Do you need something?" Su He asked calmly.
She knew what he was up to, but she honestly thought he was just too bored, like he had a screw loose.
"Uh... I saw that you finished eating, so how about we go to the bar for a while? My treat!" Qin Kai offered generously.
"No thanks, I don’t like going to bars, sorry!" With that said, Su He was about to leave.
"Wait, hold on!"
"Anything else? Why don’t you just tell me how much the meal cost, and I’ll transfer it to you. Don’t think that you can ask things from me just because you paid for my meal. I don’t like you, is that okay?" Su He spoke bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Kai’s face turned red and blue as he glanced at a few guys not far behind him, likely his dorm mates. Unfortunately, their expressions were all ones of disappointment, some even making gestures he couldn’t understand, signaling to him.
"No... that’s not what I meant," Qin Kai said with difficulty, taking a deep breath before asking again, "I just wanted to know what made you reject me!"
Su He: ???
"Are you alright? Not liking someone doesn’t need a reason, does it? I know your family’s in good shape, and your monthly allowance isn’t small, but what does that have to do with me?
If you insist on a reason, it’s that you’re too idle, aren’t you? Attending college, shouldn’t you have more important things to do? I need to shoot materials to earn money every day; I don’t have time to date you. You tell me, aside from distracting me, what else can you offer in a relationship with me?"
"I... I don’t think it would have any impact, right? Besides, if we’re together, you won’t need to earn money because I’ll support you!" Qin Kai said persistently.
In the end, seeing he wouldn’t budge, Su He rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why don’t you take care of yourself first? When you can stop relying on your parents’ money, then talk to me about this. It’s childish. Also, stop with the candle displays under our dorm and stop sending flowers, please. It’s so embarrassing!"
After saying that, Su He hurried away with the others.
After they disappeared, Qin Kai’s face immediately twisted in frustration: "Damn, what are you pretending for? It’s just because you have a capable brother!"
[Someone attempted to use your pretentious sister to get close to you, but they clearly went about it the wrong way and ended up getting disgusted by your sister.]
Su Qing: ???
