Chapter 129 - 55: Shopping Guide Zhang Tao, Real Estate Boss Song Jiang
Shen Yanzhi watched Jiang Li the entire time without offering any comment.
But when Jiang Li put down 53 million all at once, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
It seemed Jiang Li was always shattering his preconceptions.
They say a new broom sweeps clean. The first thing Jiang Li did was have Liu Hui and his men return the money they had on hand to their victims, getting her own money back in the process.
Erqi moved quickly. The two of them had just gotten back to the hotel when he called to say the mining rights had been secured.
Since the permits were approved, she naturally wasn’t going to let Liu Hui and his crew sit idle. She immediately posted a message in their group chat.
Jiang Li: The mining rights are approved. You’re our first founding employees. Since you’re all familiar with the area, the office location and size are up to you. I need the company office renovated within one week. If you can complete it on time, everyone gets a 50,000 bonus.
The moment she sent the message, the once-quiet group chat erupted.
Fifty thousand!
And for just one week of work!
Who could possibly resist an offer like that?
They all chimed in, promising they would have everything handled perfectly within the week.
It’s true that great rewards spur men to action, a fact Jiang Li had no doubt about.
For the next week, Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi enjoyed their trip. Aside from providing financial support, they didn’t get involved in the company’s affairs at all.
After all, she had Liu Hui and Erqi.
That’s right, Jiang Li had recruited Erqi. No, that’s Xue Fan now. She had brought him into the fold.
For five million a month, he was made the company’s general manager—second only to one and above thousands of others.
Jiang Li was woken by her phone ringing. As soon as she answered, she heard Xue Fan’s voice. "Boss, the company’s all set. Ready for your inspection whenever you are."
Jiang Li yawned. "Alright, I’ll head over after breakfast."
She glanced at the time. They really meant it when they said one week, right on the dot.
"Do you need me to come pick you up?"
Jiang Li sat up, rolling her neck. "No need. My husband and I will take a cab. Just send me the address."
"Great, sending it now."
After he hung up, a location pin from Xue Fan immediately appeared in her messages.
By the time Jiang Li finished washing up, breakfast was already laid out on the dining table.
Jiang Li gave Shen Yanzhi a curious look. "Hm? When did you get this?"
She hadn’t really noticed before whether Shen Yanzhi was beside her when she woke up.
Shen Yanzhi helped Jiang Li to her seat and opened the takeout containers. "I saw you were still asleep, so I went out to buy some breakfast. I figured it would be ready for you when you woke up."
’So this is the difference in stamina between a man and a woman,’ Jiang Li couldn’t help but grumble to herself. ’He was the one doing all the work, but I’m the one who’s exhausted.’
But grumbling was one thing. The moment she saw the breakfast Shen Yanzhi had bought, all her complaints vanished into thin air.
She had only mentioned it offhand yesterday, and here it was this morning.
’I have to admit,’ she thought, ’setting aside the fact that he doesn’t love me, Shen Yanzhi really is an amazing husband.’
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the husband of the year.
Taking the disposable chopsticks from Shen Yanzhi’s hand, she said, "Xue Fan just called. He said the company is ready. Let’s go over after breakfast."
Shen Yanzhi was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected them to actually get the company set up within a week. "Alright, no problem."
After eating, Jiang Li changed her clothes, put on some light makeup, and left the hotel, hailing a cab straight to the company.
Jiang Li hadn’t held high expectations. After all, these were people who were used to living in squalor, so she was just praying the office wasn’t in some half-finished, abandoned building. She never imagined it would be in a brand-new office building.
The company occupied two floors and looked genuinely impressive. Even the staff were stationed perfectly.
Xue Fan beamed at Jiang Li with a proud look on his face. "Well? Are you satisfied with what you see?"
Jiang Li nodded, satisfied. "Not bad at all."
"As I said before, if you finished within a week, everyone gets a 50,000 bonus. The whole company, including you, is 66 people, which comes to 3.3 million."
She gave Xue Fan a thoughtful look. "Since you’re the general manager now, I’ll transfer the money to you, and you can handle the distribution."
Xue Fan was visibly stunned. He hadn’t imagined Jiang Li would entrust him with such an important task. He immediately straightened his posture. "Thank you for your trust, Boss! I won’t let you down!"
Jiang Li’s lips curled into a faint smile. ’This little mercenary is all mine.’
She transferred three million to Xue Fan’s personal account. "Now that you’re the general manager, all company affairs are your responsibility. You have the authority to make any decision that involves less than 100 million without consulting me. You can make the call yourself."
