Guo Wenming was baffled looking at Wang Hao! Such an envious expression!
The starting salary was a hundred thousand per month! What did that mean?! It was nearly ten times his! He was only making slightly over ten thousand a month!
"Look at him, just look!" Zhang Li pinched Guo Wenming hard on his arm out of frustration, "A monthly salary of a hundred thousand! Now that’s what you call real strength! You always bragged to me, can you still brag now?!"
Guo Wenming’s face was full of gloom, "No bragging anymore, I’ll never brag again!"
Why even brag at this point? Look at his capability, then look at my own... From now on, I’d better keep a low profile!
"Ah, a consulting position..." A monthly salary of a hundred thousand! Anyone else would probably be unable to stop smiling, but Wang Hao stroked his chin, still hesitant, "The position is no issue, just wondering whether I’d have to work regular hours?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked again!
Oh my God! Master! You’re my real Master! With a monthly salary of a hundred thousand, and you still wonder if you need to work regular hours?!
A hundred thousand a month just to employ an idler?!
Everyone was stunned by Wang Hao’s question, but then Jiang Huanyu unexpectedly agreed without hesitation, "No need to work regular hours. Just come and solve problems whenever our company encounters them! I know you must be busy usually, so we absolutely won’t require you to just sit in the office every day!"
Everyone present was agape!
A hundred thousand a month and no need to work regular hours! Oh my, this was just like a dream job!
Could this be the legendary case of a fool and his money soon parted?!
"No need to work regular hours? Well, then I can do it," Wang Hao finally seemed satisfied, "Alright then, I’ll be an Advanced Consultant for your company and help solve problems when they arise."
"Deal!" A hundred thousand a month, no work requirements, and all kinds of reluctance, but Jiang Huanyu was genuinely as happy as if she had found a treasure. She stared at Wang Hao, extremely excited, "With the Master working in our company, I predict our company’s assets reaching over a hundred million won’t be too difficult!"
Who says it’s hard to reach a hundred million in assets...
But either way, Jiang Huanyu was a straightforward and beautiful woman, so helping out at her company shouldn’t be a depressing matter. Wang Hao sipped his lemon juice with a smile and asked, "Assets over a hundred million, huh? That shouldn’t be too difficult. How far are we from that now?"
"Our total company assets are currently sixty million!" Jiang Huanyu said excitedly, "Master, can you predict how long it will take to reach a hundred million in assets?"
Sixty million to a hundred million, let’s see...
Wang Hao then started to pretend to calculate, his fingers swiftly moving as he recited, "Yesteryear this day from this very place, by sunlight the lotus red sets apart from others. A waterfall drops three thousand feet, as if the River of Heaven falling to the east..."
Zhang Li whispered from the side, "Isn’t he reciting an ancient poem? But why does it feel off?"
Guo Wenming replied, "Brother Hao is a Master, what he’s reciting are secret formulas, not just some old poem! You can tell you’re inexperienced! What Brother Hao recited has deep meanings, don’t speak, just listen carefully and feel it!"
Wang Hao continued his pretense, turning utterly into a charlatan, "Red apricots grow beside the sun, for you today the humble door opens. I stride out the door laughing skyward, no one knows it’s the lychee that arrives. So-called transactions are but yin and yang opposing each other; change moves as yin and yang flows. Qian metal, Dui metal, Li fire, Zhen wood, Xun wood, Kan water, Gen earth, Kun earth..."
Guo Wenming exclaimed, "Did you see that?! Do you think Brother Hao is just babbling? I’ve heard about these, they’re from ’The Book of Changes,’ so profound! This is definitely going to work!"
Jiang Huanyu stared wide-eyed, fixated on Wang Hao, waiting for him to announce the result.
"I’ve got it!" Wang Hao, feeling he’d pretended enough, smacked his thigh hard, "I’ve calculated it. At the earliest, in three months, or at the latest, half a year, Jiangjiang, your company’s total assets are bound to reach a hundred million, and there might even be a substantial surplus, reaching two hundred million isn’t impossible!"
Heaven! He really calculated it!
Everyone present’s eyes widened!
In three to six months, the company’s total assets could break a hundred million or even two hundred million!
This was literally like waking up from a beautiful dream laughing!
"Master! Master, you’re really too amazing!" Jiang Huanyu almost wanted to rush over and give Wang Hao a big kiss, quickly pouring him a beverage, her eyes shimmering like searchlights, "Bless your lucky words! If our company’s total assets really break a hundred million, Master, we’ll definitely give you a grand thanks!"
Ah, why be so formal? We’ll be neighbors from now on, no need, no need...
"Ahahaha, sure," Wang Hao laughed heartily as he adjusted his hair, looking utterly cool, "All that’s easy to handle. So it’s settled then? Shall I come over to have a look at your company tomorrow?"
"Absolutely! Absolutely!" Jiangjiang said excitedly, "Master, it just so happens that you’ll be visiting our company tomorrow to check out the layout! I’ve always felt that things at our company have been a bit off lately. Master, you must help us adjust!"
Ah, isn’t that a piece of cake? Isn’t it a snap for me?
"Sure, no problem!" Wang Hao nodded immediately, "Just send me the location tomorrow. I’ll come to report at the company and adjust it for you! Don’t worry—those are just minor issues, not worth mentioning!"
Everyone cheered together, "Master, mighty and powerful!"
The meal today was really satisfying. I even managed to snag a nominal position at the company, with a monthly salary of a hundred thousand—this is really quite unexpected—full and content, time to head home!
Driving that Porsche 911 and dropping Master Wang Hao off at home, Jiang Huanyu was still in a very good mood.
Today was truly a big win, being able to connect with this Master. Not to mention, just with stocks, I could make hundreds of thousands!
Time to go to the office and arrange a resounding title for the Master!
Humming a tune, I drove back to the company, parked the car in the basement parking, and then went upstairs.
This company, left to her by her father, is located on the eighth floor of an office building within the East Second Ring of Zhonghai City. It’s named Zhonghai Xingyun Foreign Trade Company. The company isn’t very big—about fifty people in total. Mainly involved in foreign trade of clothing, food transportation, and some other little trades on the side.
No wonder breaking assets of a hundred million isn’t so easy. In this day and age, scoring a big contract isn’t easy at all. Especially since Jiang Huanyu is a woman, and sometimes that’s the downside of running a business—a lot of CEOs see that she’s young and beautiful and don’t want to negotiate seriously. Being a very decent woman herself, negotiations often go well initially but stall right before signing, as the counterparty with bad intentions refuses to finalize, dragging the deal into oblivion...
It’s just unavoidable!
But now things should improve with the Master here—everything will be worry-free!
"Mr. Jiang, what’s got you so happy today?" As Jiang Huanyu reached the eighth floor and entered the main door, the HR manager Mr. Tang noticed that today’s Mr. Jiang looked distinctly radiant and immediately greeted her with a smile, "Looking at you, Mr. Jiang, you must have encountered something great!"
"That’s for sure," Jiang Huanyu smiled and then went straight into the HR office, "Actually, Mr. Tang, I’ve brought a real talent to our company today! He’ll report tomorrow. I just wanted to give you a heads up!"
"Wow, talent!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Tang was immediately surprised. He asked while pouring water, "What kind of talent has made Mr. Jiang so happy? What position? How much is the monthly salary? Let me record it so I won’t fail to recognize him when he reports tomorrow."
"This talent was not easy to invite," Jiang Huanyu recalled how Wang Hao dominated at the western restaurant and made Zhang Baowen speechless and couldn’t help but smile, "The position I’ve arranged for him is a Senior Consultant, at a monthly salary of a hundred thousand."
With a "clatter," the teacup in Mr. Tang’s hand dropped unsteadily to the floor, splashing hot water onto his feet!
"Ouch—!! Hot! Hot!" Mr. Tang jumped around holding his foot and exclaimed, "What did you just say, Mr. Jiang?! Senior Consultant?! What kind of Senior Consultant is worth a monthly salary of a hundred thousand?! Good heavens! Doing this could very well bankrupt the company!"
Senior Consultant! Monthly salary of a hundred thousand!
Mr. Tang’s voice was loud, and the entire company’s staff heard it!
Whoosh! Instantly, a crowd gathered, eavesdropping at the door, whispering among themselves—
"Holy shit, really?! A consultant with a hundred thousand monthly salary?! What kind of talent deserves such a compensation?!"
"Am I dreaming? A monthly salary of a hundred thousand! Isn’t that salary too high?!"
"Exactly, I’ve been working here for three years, and my salary is nowhere near that—this guy comes in earning a hundred thousand a month?!"
"Is he that incredible? Does he have horns on his head or wings on his back?!"
As the crowd outside buzzed with disbelief, Mr. Jiang threw out another bombshell!
"Not just a hundred thousand a month—I really struggled to invite him," Jiang Huanyu sat on a chair, smiling, "He wasn’t even willing to come at first. It was only after I agreed to his conditions that he reluctantly agreed to help us."
"What... what conditions?" Mr. Tang felt as if today was just like a dream, "What did you agree to?"
Jiang Huanyu chuckled and said, "I agreed that he doesn’t have to come to the office. We’ll just call him up when we need him."
As soon as she finished her sentence, the entire company’s roof almost burst open!
"What?! A hundred thousand a month and he doesn’t even have to come to the office?!
