Chapter 1864 - 1950: Bingxin God Calculation
Su Xuan knew that Dong Jianwen wasn’t good at communication, so he stepped in directly.
"I..."
An Xuan’er naturally didn’t like Dong Jianwen. Although he’s very familiar with Su Xuan, An Xuan’er clearly knew that Su Xuan, being the kind of boss he was, wouldn’t let someone like Dong Jianwen become a major leader in the company. Wealthy people make clear distinctions, and she’d overheard Su Xuan’s conversation with Tang Zhenwei, realizing he meant to arrange for his acquaintance to join.
"Brother, it’s okay. I’d rather not bother Miss An. As you know, I’m currently drowned in debt. This isn’t the time for marriage; I’m here as a gesture of goodwill to you and Lu. You don’t need to worry about me. Let’s all just be friends!"
Dong Jianwen was smart; even if An Xuan’er gave him a number due to Su Xuan’s influence, she wouldn’t be willing. Better to clear things up.
"Uh..."
Su Xuan glanced at An Xuan’er, then laughed and said.
"Looks like Beauty An has high standards, beyond what we ordinary folks can aspire to. So, let’s just be friends and eat!"
Su Xuan said with a smile. He estimated that after he left earlier, An Xuan’er had already rejected Dong Jianwen, though he didn’t know how bluntly she did so.
An Xuan’er felt uncomfortable, wanting to say she only had eyes for Su Xuan, not his friend, but couldn’t bring herself to say it. She was thinking of how Su Xuan could get a contact number.
"Mr. Su, I heard Jianwen say you’re a foreman at Junyue Group?"
The scene was a bit awkward, so Nie Bingxin found a topic.
"Uh... This guy keeps saying I’m a foreman. I’m not, actually, but I’m planning to promote him to a foreman. Honestly, Beauty Nie, I really see potential in you. You’re not married yet, and my brother doesn’t have a wife. Why not exchange contact info? It doesn’t necessarily mean anything. My brother doesn’t have much money now, but he’s hardworking. And President Wang, who’s under me, also said he has talent. When he’s steadied as a foreman, I’ll give him a big project, and we’ll sort out the car and house!"
"Cough cough... Su Xuan, that’s going too far, isn’t it? And that President Wang under you?"
Dong Jianwen was embarrassed. You talk like it’s wishful thinking. It’s no surprise he’d think this way; throughout the journey, Su Xuan kept instructing him on how to blow his own trumpet, claiming he was a building engineer.
"Miss Nie is an accountant, a knowledgeable person. I’m just a brick mover! Miss Nie, don’t mind my friend’s nonsense. He’s quite unconventional."
"What’s wrong with moving bricks? I don’t mind that you’re a brick mover, as long as you work hard and earn your keep!"
Nie Bingxin blurted out, her cheeks turned crimson with embarrassment, unsure of what to say next.
In that instant, Dong Jianwen was moved, looking at Nie Bingxin, realizing her words gave him tremendous courage.
"Good woman, I toast you!"
Su Xuan admired Nie Bingxin, while Nie Bingxin’s ears turned red, having said it impulsively. Feeling a bit bashful and embarrassed, she originally came to accompany her friend for a blind date but unexpectedly took a liking to this unpretentious man. Fortunately, her friend wasn’t interested, or it would have been even more awkward.
"Are you an accountant?"
Su Xuan asked curiously.
"Yes! I work as an accountant at Kangmei Real Estate."
"Kangmei Real Estate? You’re the famous Bingxin God Calculation! Interested in switching jobs? Junyue previously fired a finance person, so I’m handling it myself now. Exhausting! I’ve always wanted someone meticulous, but I’m unfamiliar with this area in the Imperial Capital. You look just right for it. Are you interested? I’ll offer you this rate! And it’s guaranteed!"
Su Xuan said, spreading out one hand!
Su Xuan was quite excited. He wanted to hire someone before but didn’t know the area well. Wang Chuanjiang had mentioned a very capable female accountant at Kangmei, known for integrity, and nicknamed Bingxin God Calculation, suggesting he should try to poach her. Su Xuan had been considering strategies to get acquainted but hadn’t expected to meet her today.
"Pfft..."
Dong Jianwen almost spat out his drink, narrowly avoiding splattering it on Nie Bingxin’s face.
He nudged Su Xuan lightly, speaking softly.
"Su Xuan, that’s enough. She’s a good girl, you shouldn’t be bluffing!"
"I’m not bluffing! I’m serious. Nie Bingxin, are you interested?"
Su Xuan was indeed serious. After he dismissed the finance person, he managed the duties himself, keeping him extremely busy. Cheng Ling may be from Huaqing University, but he’s not in this field.
"You’d offer me five thousand a month?"
Nie Bingxin was somewhat intrigued. It wasn’t the salary that tempted her; her current job paid better. She was interested because of Dong Jianwen, thinking about working together meant more chances to get closer. She had a favorable impression of Dong Jianwen, perceiving him as responsible, making him a suitable life partner. Choosing a husband means finding someone reliable and considerate, the truly important aspects.
"Five thousand? In the Imperial Capital, five thousand barely covers rent. Fifty thousand!"
Su Xuan said directly, adding another remark.
"The workload might be heavy, I often worked overtime myself!"
"Pfft..."
An Xuan’er was the one to spit out her drink now, wondering if this guy was secretly wealthy, offering fifty thousand a month, wasn’t it too much? Knowing Nie Bingxin’s current total salary was just eight to nine thousand monthly.
"Cough cough..."
Dong Jianwen felt faint. In his view, Su Xuan was just a foreman, and this boast seemed excessive.
"Su Xuan, that’s enough. She’s working well as is. You’re just making things up."
"I’m not making things up. You don’t get ’the pavilion near the water takes the moon first’? You think she’ll wait at the starting point forever? People grow up, families urge them too. If you two work together, it’d be great. If not, add a friend—it’s fine. Let me tell you, I intended to recruit you before but couldn’t contact you. Just learned you’re Bingxin God Calculation!"
