Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 82 The Birth of the New Company
Seeing that Zhuo Tong was about to explain, Wang Wei immediately appeared beside him and covered his mouth tightly with his hand, afraid that not a single word would escape from his mouth.

"It's nothing, Tao-ge, don't overthink it. It's just a nickname we use for each other in our dorm."

"Oh ok."

Liang Tao had entered the workforce too early and spent little time online, so he didn't really understand the memes and slang used by young people today.

Of course, Wang Wei secretly vowed that he absolutely could not let Liang Tao see that educational propaganda film produced in Taiwan, titled "If I had known earlier that boys would also be...".

Otherwise, where would I put my face?
In the dorm, whenever his three roommates came back from class or brought food and saw him playing games or wearing red, they would tease him:
"Awei, you're playing video games again? Take a break, why don't you go read a book?"

Before letting go, Awei looked at his good godfather with pleading eyes.

Zhuo Tong understood immediately and nodded, and the two then ended their little squabble.

"Come on, let's eat first. Let me show you what the food at this restaurant is like."

Zhuo Tong invited the two to sit down before sitting down himself, showing no airs of being a boss in front of them.

"Assistant Qi, please have the kitchen prepare the dishes."

"Good boss."

Qi Shuangxue, who had been standing silently by the side the whole time, nodded slightly and then left the private room.

After she left, Wang Wei clicked his tongue, nodded, and gave Zhuo Tong a thumbs up.
"I have to say, Brother Zhuo, you're really something, you managed to find such a beautiful female assistant."

"Since college, why do I always feel like pretty girls are always hanging around you? Tell me honestly, do you have any dirt on them?"

"Are you kidding me? I'm a gentleman, the kind who reads the Spring and Autumn Annals."

Although he said that, he couldn't suppress the smirk on his face.

Even the seemingly calm and honest Liang Tao let out a long "hmm":
“A-Zhuo has good taste, she found a woman with big breasts. Big breasts are good, the baby won’t lack milk. My wife is good in every way, but the baby is always hungry and we have to spend a lot of money on formula.”

Zhuo Tong wholeheartedly agrees with this point.

However, he is not at the point of considering having children yet; he is only concerned about whether he can have enough to eat.

The three chatted for a while, and the atmosphere in the room quickly became harmonious. Just as things were getting lively, Qi Shuangxue led the waiter to start serving the dishes.

Since Zhuo Tong had a close relationship with the others, he didn't order any of the expensive dishes that were just gimmicks. Most of the dishes were home-style, just made with much higher-quality ingredients.

However, after the dishes were served, Zhuo Tong didn't rush to pick up her chopsticks. Instead, she waved to Qi Shuangxue, who was standing at the door and ready to serve her at any moment.

"Assistant Qi, please sit down and eat with us. Don't go hungry."

Qi Shuangxue subconsciously took a small step forward, but quickly retreated, waving her hand:
"I'm not qualified to sit at the table, so I won't disturb you while you're eating. I've asked the kitchen to prepare some corn buns and milk."

"Come on, you still have to drive for me. What if you have low blood sugar? What if you accidentally get dizzy and scratch my car?"

"This……"

Qi Shuangxue wanted to decline a few more times, but Zhuo Tong had already moved a chair to her seat and brought her a bowl and chopsticks.

"If you don't eat, I'll deduct your salary."

"Alright then, thank you, boss..."

Qi Shuangxue sat down stiffly, pressing her hands firmly against her fair thighs, not daring to move an inch.

Seeing her behavior like this, Zhuo Tong felt helpless.

This assistant is great in every way, except that besides being naive, she's also a bit awkward.

But her inferiority complex is different from Lin Yuxuan's; it is a sense of boundaries and distance based on the difference in their identities.

To put it bluntly, she just felt—

A boss is a boss, and a subordinate is a subordinate; they can't become friends, let alone have a closer relationship. But that's normal, considering she has a boyfriend. Keeping her distance from other men actually shows she's a good girl.

Gradually, Qi Shuangxue relaxed and began to eat along with them.

Wang Wei was so excited that he ordered a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and the three of them took a small sip.

Midway through the meal, Wang Wei subconsciously circled the table to offer toasts. When he came to Qi Shuangxue's side, he paused, then quickly sat back down.

After all, he was "Zhuo Tong's" "driver," and given these two reasons, it would be impolite for me to offer him a toast.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhuo Tong did not have anyone clear the table. The three of them sat down on the sofa and coffee table in the private room.

Qi Shuangxue took out the contract documents that needed to be modified in advance and printed out three copies for the three of them to review at the same time.

"Take a look first. If there's anything that needs to be modified or confirmed, feel free to point it out. Let's discuss it now."

"Of course, there are still some writing issues, which I have already asked her to revise, but we won't discuss them here."

The two nodded, looked at it for a while, and then put it down.

Overall there are no major problems, but we still need to confirm.

“Awei’s company has 2.4 million yuan in debt. Brother Tao, you can contribute 600,000 yuan and I will contribute 3 million yuan to buy shares from him and help him pay off his debts.”

"Of that, your 400,000 and my 2 million will be used directly to repay the company's debts, and the remaining 200,000 and 1 million will be used as capital reserves for future operations and management."

"In the end, you get 10% of the shares, I get 50%, and including his own assets, I get 40%."

"To sum it up, we pay off his debts, and he gives us his company shares as consideration. What do you think?"

Zhuo Tong quickly wrote down a debt repayment plan on a piece of white paper and handed it to Liang Tao.

Liang Tao didn't even glance at it, simply pushing the paper back to Zhuo Tong and shaking his head.
“I’m illiterate and don’t understand these intricacies, but I trust you. You definitely won’t cheat me.”

"Okay, Brother Tao is generous. And what about you, Wei? What do you think?"

Zhuo Tong patted his shoulder meaningfully, as if to comfort him.

Ah Wei and he were both professionals, so how could they not understand these debt restructuring operations?

He knew that Zhuo Tong wanted to ask him if he would mind losing too many shares at once and thus losing absolute control of the company.

Previously, at his company, several large companies set him up by adding supplementary clauses to the contracts, turning equity financing into debt financing.

Therefore, Wang Wei alone holds nearly 80% of the shares, and there are not many outsiders holding shares in the company.

It's like having four or five years of hard work, only to have most of it bought up in one go. Anyone would feel resentful.

Zhuo Tong remained as understanding as ever.

Just like when the system gave him 51% of the shares of Wangting Hotel, he also took Wang Ying's feelings into consideration and did not take away the management rights.

Wang Wei let out a long sigh of relief, then nodded:
"I'm OK."

"Alright, now we should discuss the new company bylaws."

Liang Tao mentioned it:
“Since the company has been restructured, I think we should change the name. It’s like a complete makeover, a fresh start, a rebirth.”

"Brother Tao, you have such a great writing style!" Wang Wei clapped his hands repeatedly. "I think it's good, but what should we call it?"

Wang Wei nodded in agreement, and the two of them looked at Zhuo Tong together.

He almost blurted out:

"How about we call it... [Chuan Chuan]?"
