After having a chat with Zhang Jing, Tang Qing went to talk with Li Jianguo. He had not mentioned his plan to Li Jianguo earlier while they were eating, to avoid making it awkward in case Zhang Jing wanted to stay at the restaurant. If she didn’t want to leave, it would have been embarrassing for both her and him.
For this, Li Jianguo didn’t have any objections. Zhang Jing was, after all, brought in by Tang Qing. He didn’t mind how Tang Qing wished to arrange things, since it was just a matter of hiring another person after all.
Half an hour later.
Seeing that it was getting late.
Tang Qing went upstairs, saw Li Kai still watching TV, and quickly dragged him downstairs to study.
"Jing, I’m heading out now. Remember to go and register on time," Tang Qing reminded her before leaving.
"Alright," Zhang Jing agreed.
After this exchange, Tang Qing and Li Kai left the Baiwei Restaurant, leaving behind an excited Zhang Jing. She felt truly thankful for meeting Tang Qing, who had not only provided her with a decent job but also gave her an opportunity to learn and improve. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of company Sky Eye was, but she was determined to not let Tang Qing down, no matter what.
In the taxi.
"Where are you sending Jing to register?" Li Kai could not help but ask.
Tang Qing explained, "To my other company."
Upon hearing this, Li Kai responded with surprise, "What? Old Tang, you’ve really kept this hidden deep. Tell me honestly, how many companies do you have besides Sheng Tang?" If he weren’t such a straightforward person, with not too many ulterior motives, this would have already made him feel inferior. But it was also because of this that Tang Qing could be friends with him.
Being friends should be as simple as that. The more you think about it, the more it’ll hurt you.
Perhaps, this is where Li Kai’s smartness was.
"Well... Strictly speaking, only two. I just hold some stocks in other ones." Tang Qing leaned on the car window and said while looking outside. One of the companies was Sky Eye and the other one was Sheng Tang. He might be the most worthless protagonist ever - after all this, none of his companies, other than the small restaurant, made any money for him. Instead, he had been continuously investing money.
The more Tang Qing thought about it, the funnier he found it. How peculiar it was.
Only two?
’Only’, what a hurtful word.
Li Kai couldn’t resist grumbling in his mind.
The taxi driver sneered: They’re still kids, running companies, I might as well be driving a train.
"That’s already impressive, Old Tang, take me with you," Li Kai rolled his eyes, clearly asking for support.
"What do you mean?" Tang Qing asked in confusion.
"I mean, let’s succeed together. I also want to run a company." Li Kai said joyfully, then seeing Tang Qing roll his eyes, quickly added, "By the way, Old Tang, what do you plan to do after the National College Entrance Examination?"
"I’m going to visit my second uncle in Thailand," Tang Qing said.
Thailand?
Li Kai’s eyes lit up, "Can I go too?"
"Sure, let’s go together," Tang Qing agreed. It’s just about taking another person along, no big deal.
"Great, I need to start saving money now and then ask my dad for some," Li Kai said excitedly. He never intended to completely mooch off Tang Qing. Even if Tang Qing agreed, he wouldn’t have accepted. Although he might be a bit naive, he did have his pride. His dad wouldn’t approve of it either.
Tang Qing didn’t make any grand promises about covering all costs, as that would feel more like charity than politeness, which could hurt people. So, he just said, "Okay. By the way, how’s it going with your girlfriend?"
"It’s still kind of in the air. She said to leave it until after the exams, but I think it’s almost certain. Just wait for my good news," Li Kai said, looking a bit excited.
"That’s good then. But who knows if you two will be in the same city or not," Tang Qing reminded him.
Li Kai chuckled and said, "No worries. Love can overcome distance. Even if we’re not together, it doesn’t matter. Besides, I’ve decided to follow you to Shanghai, and she’s okay with that. No matter what happens, I’m ready to accept it."
"You’re pretty open-minded."
"Of course, you should know who I am. I’m the future warm-hearted romantic saint, embracing the world, galloping everywhere. An unruly fellow," Li Kai started boasting.
"..."
Getting off the taxi and standing at the school gate, Tang Qing immediately called He Zixin and told her about Zhang Jing’s situation, asking her to arrange for things like human resources and training. To the boss who’s trying to pull strings for someone, all He Zixin could think of was that Zhang Jing must be someone influential.
In passing, Tang Qing also mentioned Li Jianguo’s situation. He even transferred 20 million RMB instantly to the company account. He Zixin was excited while looking at the account. This boss was like a bank, providing any amount of money within minutes. He was simply domineering.
Honestly, He Zixin was also curious about Li Jianguo’s company. Facing such an almost-free offer, she wondered why Tang Qing was not interested in controlling some particular industry companies. But who cares anyway? As long as the work gets done.
Looking at the increasing number of companies ’under’ Sky Eye, He Zixin felt quite pleased. Although Sky Eye didn’t have any direct authority, the feeling of overseeing others was quite thrilling. It’s similar to being a public servant, which filled her with a feeling of superiority. Almost no one could escape it; those who claimed they were unaffected were simply good at hiding.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Qing knew the upcoming period was going to be busy for Sky Eye. They had to teach Li Jianguo, an under-qualified chef, how to build a successful enterprise in the fiercely competitive catering industry. It would certainly be a test for Sky Eye.
