Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 91 Only I would treat you this well.
Hearing her boss ask this question, Qi Shuangxue realized that Zhuo Tong had already noticed her clumsy behavior.

But not knowing how to explain, he stammered for a long time before finally coming up with a flimsy excuse:
"I... I was worried that my driving skills weren't good enough and that you wouldn't be satisfied, so I was thinking of paying more attention to you. I hope you don't mind."

"Oh, I see. You're quite considerate. Thank you, Assistant Qi."

"Your driving skills are fine, but you're not focused enough, which is something you need to improve."

"When driving, you must hold the steering wheel of the vehicle firmly with both hands and keep your eyes on the two large taillights of the vehicle in front."

"Then keep your foot on the accelerator and brake, press hard when you need to, and press lightly when you need to."

"I personally prefer to use a light touch for nine minutes and a heavy touch for one minute, but when necessary, I can keep pressing the pedal all the way down. Anyway, the car just gets better and better to drive the more I drive it."

"As you gradually increase your speed, the roar of the car engine is her scream of extreme excitement."

Zhuo Tong's words sounded like a suggestive joke, and Qi Shuangxue listened attentively, nodding earnestly as to what she had actually learned.

"I will always keep the boss's teachings in mind!"

After saying that, he resumed driving seriously, but in his mind he was thinking:

"I always felt that my boss was ostensibly teaching me how to drive, but also trying to teach me life lessons."

"But I'm too stupid, I can't understand it at all. Oh well, I'll just memorize it first and ask Qianqian when I have the chance, she'll definitely understand."

For the next while, Qi Shuangxue drove, repeatedly reciting Zhuo Tong's words in her mind, her expression serious and earnest.

Zhuo Tong was also helpless; how could his driving experience become useless one day?
That makes sense, though. Even if you were to be a bit more blunt with such an innocent girl, she probably wouldn't understand.

Just then, thinking of Qianqian, Qi Shuangxue tentatively asked in a low voice:
"By the way, boss, I have a question I'd like to ask you. Is now a good time for you?"

Zhuo Tong did not respond immediately, but instead looked up at the surrounding road conditions.

There were hardly any cars around, but that didn't mean we couldn't chat.

And she will most likely ask about her best friend's job change.

I never imagined that so many people would want to be my employees when I don't even have a company that I'm officially in control of yet.

They must have been attracted by the generous compensation they could offer.

Zhuo Tong had vowed when he was in school that if he ever became a boss, he would never stoop to the point where his employees wanted to hang him from a street lamp.

"go ahead."

“I have a very close friend who really admires you as an enlightened boss and wants to switch jobs to work under you like I do. She asked me to ask for your opinion.”

"Hmm... what did she originally do for a living?"

"She is very capable and hardworking. She has only worked at Starbucks for a year and is about to be promoted to store manager. You can see her work attitude from that."

Qi Shuangxue truly is a good best friend; she subtly and overtly praises her friend in almost every sentence, as if afraid of making a bad first impression.

However, although I'm really looking forward to meeting that girl, things can't be settled so easily.

Otherwise, if anyone can come and go as they please, wouldn't this place turn into a vegetable market?

"As you know, Chuan Chuan's plan is just a formality for now, and the official procedures are still being followed up."

"I'm not in charge of managing the Wangting Hotel; Sister Wang makes all the decisions, so we don't need any staff right now."

"Besides, the Starbucks store manager isn't bad either, so why would he want to switch jobs for no reason?"

Hearing Zhuo Tong's polite refusal, Qi Shuangxue's face darkened.

Although I was mentally prepared to be rejected by the boss, I still felt sad for my best friend. In Shenzhen, a Starbucks store manager's salary is generally 8-12K base salary, plus social insurance and housing fund, housing allowance, transportation allowance, performance bonus and other allowances.

In the context of the overall job market, this is considered a pretty good offer, especially considering Starbucks' performance bonus.

But this is, after all, one of the four first-tier provinces in China. With this amount of money, you can't save much in a month in Shenzhen, and you'll inevitably be broke by the end of the month.

Qi Shuangxue knows best what kind of hardship she has endured.

Normally, Chen Qianqian even has to help out occasionally, lending him money to tide him over, otherwise he sometimes can't even afford to eat properly.

"But why did the boss choose me in the first place?"

"This is different..."

Zhuo Tong abruptly changed the subject, drawing out the last syllable, which immediately pulled Qi Shuangxue back to her senses.

"You're a special case. I value your work ability, and I happen to need an assistant. You weren't doing well at your previous company and have been wanting to switch jobs for a while. Plus, your boyfriend isn't earning much, and only I can offer you this kind of treatment, right?"

"Yes... I'm very grateful to the boss for giving me this opportunity."

Qi Shuangxue's heart was as still as water.

Yes, if it weren't for Sister Wang arranging the meeting between the two of them, I would have met Zhuo Tong instead.

They might still be sitting idly in the sales office, worrying about sales targets every day, and only able to eat milk and steamed buns for every meal.

I receive a meager basic salary each month. After paying rent and utilities, there's not even enough left to buy a cheap piece of clothing from a roadside stall.

She even had to transfer the few hundred yuan she had painstakingly saved to her boyfriend to support his business venture.

And look at yourself now?
Being able to drive such a nice luxury car every day, receiving all kinds of subsidies, taking taxis to and from get off work whenever I want, eating whatever I want, and not even having to pay rent with my salary.

This is the life I dreamed of when I first entered society.

Qi Shuangxue gripped the steering wheel tighter, and her smile gradually faded.

What she held in her hand was more than just the steering wheel of a Maybach.

It is clearly the steering wheel of one's own life.

Even the slightest deviation could shatter a normal life.

There's no going back.

I'm already lucky to have this good job, how could I dare to ask for more, or even bring my best friend in too?
However, things always take unexpected turns, and Zhuo Tong added:
"However, you can give me her resume first and add her to my talent pool. The company's business will definitely increase in the future, and maybe there will be a vacancy for a certain position?"

"It's mainly because she's your friend. I trust you, so naturally I trust her abilities. There's no need for an interview; she can join directly when the opportunity arises."

Qi Shuangxue gasped, causing the temperature inside the car, which was already air-conditioned, to drop slightly.

Judging from the boss's tone, it seems there's still room for maneuver. Chen Qianqian also benefited from his connections and was able to join Zhuo Tong's talent pool.

Next time we meet, I'll have to brag about this, otherwise she'll keep harping on my car headlights and keep bullying me.

"Okay, boss, I'll have her send me the resume right away, and then I'll print it out."

"No rush, just focus on driving."

Zhuo Tong looked out the window. The traffic was gradually increasing, and they were not far from the Weiyi Gate of Shenzhen University.
