Chapter 71
It's too late, get on the bus!
Chapter 73 It's too late, get on the bus!
After scolding his ungrateful and muddle-headed assistant, Meng Jie casually opened the game, completely ignoring the trivial matter.
In this realistic world, only money and wealth are the true foundation for survival.
Wealth is the best nourishment for people.
Cultivate a person's spirit, magnanimity, and most importantly, inner strength.
Money can give you what others can't!
Those who constantly talk about being indifferent to fame and fortune and say that money is useless have never actually stepped into the workplace to work hard, nor have they ever experienced the hardships of making a living.
The game was only halfway through when the phone on the table suddenly rang.
He picked it up casually, and Peng Xiaoqin's name appeared on the screen.
"Hey, Sister Peng!"
Meng Jie answered the phone with a smile: "What good news do you have to tell me?"
A light laugh came from Peng Xiaoqin's end: "You're quite the guesser. How did you know it was good news?"
"Of course," Meng Jie casually complimented, his words crisp and clear. "With Sister Peng personally handling things, success is guaranteed."
"Hahaha"
The man was sweet-talking, and Peng Xiaoqin was pleased, saying with a smile, "Then let me tell you, I've contacted almost all the people you wanted. When would you like to find some time to meet them?"
"You can let them come anytime."
Meng Jie thought for a moment, then said, "I'll give you a call later, and tell them to contact the person on the phone when they arrive."
Peng Xiaoqin reminded her, "I'll send you a form later. You should have a general idea of the salary terms I negotiated with them."
Meng Jie smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Peng."
Peng Xiaoqin suddenly said, "I also have a niece, who is a little older than you—"
"Sister Peng! My dear Sister Peng!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Jie immediately begged for mercy: "Please have mercy on me and let me go."
"never mind."
Peng Xiaoqin sighed, then shook her head with a smile: "They just don't have that kind of luck!"
Meng Jie smiled and said, "Sister Peng, I'll treat you to dinner this weekend to thank you properly."
"No need to be so polite."
Peng Xiaoqin smiled and said, "I treat you like a junior. If you become successful in the future, just don't forget your sister Peng."
"Sister Peng, once I've made it big, I'll definitely poach you to be my HR director."
Meng Jie quickly smiled and assured him, "I'll kick that Zhao Xiaohui all the way to Malaysia!"
"Ha ha-
'
Peng Xiaoqin laughed heartily: "You, you! They were doing so well, and you just dumped them?"
"If you've already kicked it, then you've kicked it."
Meng Jie laughed and said, "It's not a big deal."
97
"Alright."
Peng Xiaoqin was about to hang up: "I have something to do here, so I'm not going to joke around with you anymore."
Meng Jie lowered his voice and asked, "Sister Peng, I have another question for you."
Peng Xiaoqin also lowered her voice: "What is it?"
Meng Jie asked, "I heard that Fuyu Technology has hired a new finance manager?"
"That's right."
Peng Xiaoqin smiled and said, "I'm handing over my work to Chen Li right now."
Meng Jie asked curiously, "Chen Li didn't throw a tantrum?"
"It spilled."
Peng Xiaoqin's face was full of schadenfreude: "But it's no use! Her brother is very determined this time to get rid of her from the finance position."
Meng Jie asked again, "Where to take it?"
Peng Xiaoqin smiled and said, "Let her work as a clerk, organizing and copying the company's documents every day."
Meng Jie laughed and said, "That's bad enough."
Peng Xiaoqin showed no sympathy whatsoever: "She only has herself to blame!"
After hanging up the phone, Meng Jie sent Chen Li a message: "I heard your brother asked you to work as a clerk?"
I waited a few minutes but received no reply.
I wonder if he's busy or what he's doing?
Ignoring it, Meng Jie continued playing the game.
He had just started the game when his phone vibrated. He thought it was Chen Li replying to a message, but it wasn't.
Gu Sheng: "Brother Jie, do you have any money?"
Meng Jie tapped the screen lightly: "Yes!"
Gu Sheng: "Quickly lend me 10,000 yuan, I need it urgently."
Meng Jie: "Aren't you in e-commerce, earning two or three hundred thousand a year? Why would you need ten thousand yuan?"
Gu Sheng: "Don't even mention it. I'm getting married at the end of the year, and I'm still short 200,000 yuan for the bride price."
Gu Sheng: "I'm not going to say anything more. Just transfer me 10,000 yuan now, and I'll pay you back at the next class reunion."
Meng Jie: "Open Alipay, then open Jiebei, there's money in there."
Gu Sheng: "What do you mean?"
Meng Jie: "Nothing else, I just mean you didn't use your personal information to scam people, did you?"
Gu Sheng: "We're all classmates. You lent me 10,000 yuan, and I'm not going to refuse to pay you back."
Meng Jie: "You should pay back the three thousand you borrowed from Li Liang first."
Gu Sheng: "We'll pay him back all at once."
Meng Jie: "You pay it back first. If you borrow and repay, it will be easy to borrow again."
Gu Sheng:
Gu Sheng: "Are you going to lend it to me or not?"
Meng Jie: "Aren't you going to pay me back?"
Gu Sheng: "I'm not lending it to you anymore, what kind of garbage is this!"
Looking at the last sentence, Meng Jie was about to delete it, but after thinking about it, he stopped.
The other party still owed Li Liang three thousand yuan, which was money his good friend had saved up by living frugally.
It's been almost two years since I lent it to that bastard, and he still hasn't paid it back.
My good brother's business is his business, and I have to help him get it back.
But don't rush. We need to find the right opportunity to deal with this kind of tough nut to crack.
Chen Li didn't reply to his messages until she got off work.
Meng Jie, carrying a black backpack, was about to leave work and planned to drive to the city center to find a place for a foot massage to relax.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Bai Jing standing outside.
Meng Jie casually asked, "Did you need something?"
Looking at the lazy man in front of her, Bai Jing blinked and said, "Ningning said she'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"I don't have time, I need to go get a foot massage."
Meng Jie refused outright, his tone decisive: "I've been a bit exhausted these past few days, I'll just take a foot bath and relax."
A blush suddenly flashed across Bai Jing's face: "Since Ningning is treating us to dinner, then I'll treat you to a foot massage!"
He was about to walk past the girl and leave, but Meng Jie stopped when he heard this and asked, "You want to invite me to get a foot massage?"
"yes!"
Bai Jing nodded vigorously, her face already flushed to her ears: "Don't you really like relaxing by washing your feet? It's my treat tonight, you can choose any place."
"baffling."
Meng Jie cursed and strode outside.
I don't know what got into this woman, but she actually thought he liked washing feet?
Does he like washing his feet?
He never liked washing his feet!
A rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always befalls the unfortunate.
All Meng Jie could do was to preserve a faint and insignificant tenderness in her prime.
My feet are so itchy!
He had only taken a few steps when he bumped into Shen Yining, who was rushing over.
Upon seeing Meng Jie, Shen Yining's eyes lit up instantly. She quickly jogged over and said excitedly, "Let's go eat together."
Glancing at Bai Jing who was following behind, Meng Jie asked in confusion, "Are you two really going to have one of you treat me to dinner and the other to a foot massage?"
Both girls smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
Meng Jie didn't hesitate: "Then let's go."
He originally wanted to call Li Liang along, but there wasn't time now, so he quickly got in the car!
During rush hour, the parking lot was bustling with cars. Meng Jie drove his Bentley slowly out of the parking space, the engine emitting a deep and textured roar that instantly broke the noise of the park.
This multi-million dollar Bentley made its first public appearance during rush hour, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around.
There were already rumors in the park that a white convertible Bentley was parked in the parking lot.
However, opinions vary on whose car it actually belongs to, and there has been no definitive conclusion.
Some say it's the car of the park's developer; others guess it's the CEO of one of the companies that moved in; still others say it's some rich kid who's bored and came to the park to experience life.
Only now did they finally meet the owner of the car.
Apart from a few employees of YuChuang Technology who recognized Meng Jie, all the other employees from the surrounding companies looked like complete strangers.
Even though they didn't know each other, it didn't diminish the envy and jealousy surging in their eyes.
-
What excited them even more was that in the back seats of the four convertible Bentleys sat two young girls with beautiful faces and outstanding temperaments, who were in no way inferior to college beauties.
Unfortunately, the convertible Bentley accelerated smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, the car turned out of the park gate and disappeared completely from everyone's sight.
Meng Jie kept his eyes straight ahead the whole time, completely ignoring the curious, envious, or jealous glances around him.
To him, these gazes were meaningless and insignificant.
Just as the Bentley drove onto the main road, the cell phone placed beside it suddenly vibrated several times.
He glanced casually at the screen; it was a WeChat message from Li Liang: "Brother Jie, when did you start driving a convertible Bentley?!"
Meng Jie didn't type a reply. Instead, he raised his hand, pressed the car's Bluetooth button, and made a voice call. His tone was cheerful and casual: "Hey, Liang, did you see me in the park just now?"
"I not only saw you, I called out to you as loudly as I could!"
Li Liang's voice on the other end of the phone was full of excitement, practically brimming with emotion: "But you didn't even hear me, you just drove off!"
Meng Jie explained with a smile, "The park is crowded and noisy after get off work, and the engine of this car is quite loud, so I really didn't notice you."
Li Liang's excitement remained undiminished: "Whose car is that? It's so cool!"
Meng Jie said casually, "Mr. Zhou, can I borrow it for a few days?"
Li Liang blurted out without thinking, "Are you going to pick up girls?"
Meng Jie shook his head: "No."
Li Liang said in a skeptical tone, "You're either picking up girls or on your way to pick them up. Now that you have such a cool sports car, aren't you going to pick up girls—"
Fearing that the other party might say something outrageous that would disrupt his rhythm, Meng Jie interrupted directly: "That's it. Come to my office tomorrow and we can talk slowly."
Before Li Liang could say anything more, he hung up the phone and casually turned on the car's music player. The soothing and melodious tune instantly filled the car.
"If you can see the landscapes in my heart, I will pray with every step I take, like a lotus flower blooming in the wind."
The gentle singing voice flowed, and the slightly awkward atmosphere from before instantly dissipated.
Looking at the man in front of her who was pretending to be serious, Shen Yining couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jie, did you really go picking up girls last night?"
""
"Chasing girls?"
Meng Jie said seriously, "How could I possibly go and pick up girls?"
He paused, glanced at the rearview mirror, and met the eyes of the two girls. A faint smile played on his lips. "If I really wanted to pick up girls, you two are girls already. Why would I go to such lengths?"
Seeing the confident yet slightly mocking glint in the man's eyes, Shen Yining and Bai Jing exchanged a glance, their cheeks instantly flushing slightly, and their hearts skipped a beat.
This is the first time in my life that someone has called me "girl" to my face.
Everyone else addressed them politely by their names or called them "beautiful lady."
Such a straightforward and casual way of addressing them made them both shy and slightly excited.
Last night, I had dinner with a friend.
Meng Jie said calmly, "I discussed a very important collaboration with her."
Shen Yining quickly explained, "I just heard that you and President Qin seem to have had some disagreements."
"She's meddling in other people's business."
Meng Jie immediately retorted, "I was just playing games in the office for a little while, and you deliberately came over to stare at me!"
"It's not like I'm doing nothing; I'm quite nosy."
"If I hadn't come to help her, this lousy factory would have gone bankrupt sooner or later!"
Shen Yining advised, "Brother Jie, don't be angry. After all, President Qin is the big boss."
"What happened to the big boss again?"
Meng Jie looked nonchalant and said arrogantly, "I'm insulting the big boss!"
"Qin Man is a problematic person."
Bai Jing suddenly spoke up, firmly standing on the man's side and sharing his indignation: "Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Xingyu came over. Brother Jie already said he was on the phone with a client, but she insisted on undermining him by saying you were playing games, and she even deliberately made sarcastic remarks about you."
"Zhang Xingyu and I didn't get along very well at our previous company, and we argued face-to-face several times."
Meng Jie's eyes turned slightly cold, and his tone was calm but carried a hint of sharpness: "Who knew that this woman would be so petty? If it weren't for dealing with Chen Qiang, I wouldn't have dragged her along."
"She's here as the vice president in charge of foreign trade, so don't pay any attention to her."
"You two are my people. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, just tell me!"
"I'll go deal with him!"
"Hmph—"
'
"I dare to curse Qin Man, I don't believe there's anyone at YuChuang Technology I can't handle!"
Bai Jing took the initiative to say, "This morning, before you even arrived, Qin Man called me to her office, seemingly trying to win me over."
"Me too, she called me to her office this morning."
Shen Yining nodded in agreement: "The implication is that she is the major shareholder, and everyone in the company has to listen to her."
"Don't listen to her nonsense."
Meng Jie casually said, "Don't worry about her, who cares? Just listen to me."
"7
"I'll make Qin Man pay one day!"
Shen Yining and Bai Jing were both people he brought into the company, and they just left together in a car.
Even if they wanted to send someone as an undercover agent, Qin Man wouldn't believe it.
Its only use is to disgust him.
However, when it comes to undercover agents, perhaps we can take a different approach.
Meng Jie asked, "Piggy, what's your relationship with Zhang Juan like?"
"It's alright."
Bai Jing replied, "She's been taking care of me these past few days, and I've gotten along quite well with her."
"Since she wants to bribe my people, then I'll bribe hers."
Meng Jie laughed and said, "If you have nothing to do, ask her to go shopping after get off work and treat her to dinner."
"I'll reimburse you for the meals and gifts you buy. You can slowly bring her to our side."
"If Qin Man does anything underhanded, we'll know in advance."
Finally receiving a clear task, Bai Jing was both excited and thrilled: "No problem, leave it to me!"
Seeing that her best friend had something to do, Shen Yining couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jie, what about me?"
"You're in finance, you don't need to do anything."
Meng Jie laughed and said, "Just keep an eye on the finance manager for me, see if she does anything underhanded."
In his view, only by breaking ties with Qin Man and confronting her head-on could he clearly distinguish which of the people in the company were loyal to Qin Man and potential threats, and which were people he could win over.
Those loyal to Qin Man are a hidden danger to the company and will definitely have to be eliminated one by one later.
Those who can be won over will become the backbone of the factory.
Only when she was fighting with Qin Man would she take the initiative to win over Zhang Xingyu and Zhao Xiaohui.
Little did they know, he had already laid out his plans, just waiting for the final push.
Just then, the phone, which was playing music, suddenly vibrated violently, and the caller ID showed Chen Li.
Meng Jie glanced at the screen, casually pressed the car's Bluetooth button to connect, and said in a relaxed tone, "Hello, Chen Li."
On the other end of the phone, Chen Li's voice was choked with sobs and thick with nasal congestion, clearly indicating she had just been crying. Her tone was a mixture of grievance and anger: "What exactly do you want from me by sending me this message?"
"Nothing."
Meng Jie chuckled lightly: "I just heard your brother kicked you out of the finance office, so I was just checking up on you."
Even outsiders knew about this, which made Chen Li feel even more aggrieved: "I don't need your concern, you're just crocodile tears!"
Meng Jie asked directly, "Where are you now?"
Chen Li blinked: "What are you going to do?"
Meng Jie laughed and said, "I'll treat you to a meal and give you a good talking to."
"Why are you suddenly so concerned about me?"
Chen Li suddenly became a little hesitant: "Do you like me?"
Thinking of that mean face, that skinny body, and that usually spoiled and willful manner—
Meng Jie felt a wave of discomfort wash over him, and a faint hint of murderous intent even flashed through his mind. His tone instantly turned cold and ruthless: "Chen Li, you'd better not say such things again!"
Chen Li asked, "Why can't I say?"
"Although I've been a womanizer all my life, I only like women with big butts and curvy figures."
Meng Jie bluntly stated his hobby: "You—you're really not cut out for this!"
