He won 900 million in the lottery.

[Her heart was completely occupied by what she was proud of as chastity, and what she perceived as shame and promiscuity.]

"Please sit down."

I went upstairs and took out the company's first and only document.

This includes all agreements related to company registration, Haitao's equity holding on behalf of others, and the investment in Zhang Xingxing's newly established company.

Me: "Take a look and see if you can understand it."

Qiuya took the document, glanced at each page, and then closed it.

Qiuya: "I can understand it."

I:"?!"

What did you major in at university?

Qiuya: "Business Administration".

The next second, I frantically calculated in my mind that I must take control of this mother and daughter's business.

Me: "Tell me about it."

Qiuya seemed to have a lot of knowledge about this: "The main purpose of setting up a new company on a project is to isolate risks. At the same time, it can also optimize management and facilitate financing. This is the most common equity structure in medium and large enterprises."

enough.

At that moment, I was staring intently at Qiuya, thinking about how to bring her into my team.

Qiuya blushed a little under my direct gaze: "Brother, I still don't know your name?"

Me: "Shen Tianyi".

Qiuya: "You're not the legal representative of the company; are you using a professional legal representative?"

I nodded with considerable satisfaction.

Qiuya: "Brother Shen, my family can't afford this debt of over 400 million yuan. The house we live in has already been mortgaged, and the 400 million yuan loan was all taken out by my mother. If we really can't get it back, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to handle such a blow."

Most small and micro enterprises face this problem: a single failure can lead to permanent bankruptcy.

Greed was the primary factor.

Don't accept orders you can't handle; doing so can easily lead you into a trap.

Me: "Are you so sure I can get your money back for you?"

Qiuya: "My apartment was rented to a girl who dropped out of high school. The rent was paid by another friend. Later, she paid a year's rent in one lump sum and went back to high school to repeat her senior year."

Me: "These things are all public knowledge; they're not hard to find out."

Qiuya: "In this third- or fourth-tier city, to spend 20,000 yuan without hesitation to sponsor a female student and support her schooling already puts you in the upper echelons of this city."

Me: "Is there any more?"

Qiuya: "The latest mobile phone and the tea in the office, I searched online, and a small bag costs more than 300 yuan to brew one batch."

Liu Haitao stole his uncle's tea leaves... This time he went too far in trying to save face.

His uncle is really powerful; a single brew of tea costs over 300 yuan.

Me: "I'm not pretending anymore. I'm coming clean. Actually, I'm running a shell company. Everything here is just for show."

Qiuya gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.

She stood up, walked slowly to my side, straightened her back like a little princess, and then took my hand.

Qiuya: "Brother Shen, I believe in you. You're a reliable person."

Am I a reliable person?

I, this "reliable person," am still thinking about how to control your business and make you work for me.

I curled the corners of my mouth. Who can't be a "reliable person"?

With a strong pull, I drew Qiuya into my arms.

It was late summer and early autumn.

She was dressed very lightly, and when she sat on my lap I felt a chill, just like her fingers, which were also icy cold.

She leaned nervously on my shoulder, her body trembling slightly, perhaps from unease or nervousness.

I closed the distance between us further and whispered in her ear, "When you came this afternoon, my first impression of you was that you were very ordinary."

I gently breathed into her ear: "Did you dress up tonight specifically to see me?"

Qiu Ya tensed up, her voice soft and gentle: "Brother Shen..."

I gently placed my hand on her arm; it felt like a cool piece of jade.

Is this girl's body temperature really that low?

I gently patted her back; the touch was delicate and cool.

Me: "Call me boss."

Qiuya had completely let her guard down: "Boss..."

I looked at Qiuya with amusement. She was clearly very inexperienced in this area. No wonder, given that her usual attire didn't easily attract the attention of the opposite sex.

I gently patted her shoulder and clearly felt Qiuya's body stiffen, but she didn't flinch.

Her nervousness was palpable; I could feel her trembling even in my arm. Only near her chest could I feel a slight warmth.

I turned her face to face me, and she still had her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

I commanded, "Open your eyes and look at me!"

Qiuya opened her eyes shakily, and I raised my hand to gently wipe away the trace of panic at the corner of her eyes, my fingertips warm and moist.

So, the girl completely relaxed and leaned softly against my chest.

Her pride, her reserve, her unease—all vanished in that moment.

Without taking any further action, I waited for the girl in my arms to calm down until her breathing gradually became steady.

Me: "Now that you're working for me, what should you call me?"

Qiu Ya: "Boss."

I gently placed an encouraging kiss on her forehead.

Do you have a job right now?

"Yes, I work as a manager at a company."

At such a young age, being able to become a supervisor right after graduation means at least one is capable.

Me: "Resign tomorrow and come work for me."

Qiuya: "Mm."

Me: "I'll handle the payment issue. I'll give you a plan tomorrow."

Qiu Ya's voice was full of joy: "Thank you, boss."

I joked, "Get off me, my legs are numb."

"Um."

Qiuya stood up, but her steps were unsteady and she leaned gently on my shoulder. I turned my head and our eyes met.

Me: "Is this a sign of dependence on me?"

How can I easily let go of such a capable assistant who has been acquired?

I gently pressed her shoulder, and our eyes met in a silent understanding.

After a warm moment, I saw gratitude and trust in the girl's eyes.

well.

Me: "Have you eaten?"

Qiuya shook her head.

Me: "Come on, let's eat together, I'm starving too."

Once a person identifies someone they can rely on, they will unconsciously develop a dependence on them.

From the company gate to the underground parking garage, she held my hand like a little follower.

"Get in the car."

Since this is our first collaboration and we've progressed this far, it's necessary to treat her to something nice to leave a warm impression and deepen our mutual trust.

A revolving restaurant atop the city's tallest building.

There is a musical fountain downstairs.

Isn't it cozy?

The candles were lit, and tall glasses were filled with red wine.

The two clinked glasses.

Me: "Thank you for believing in me."

Qiuya: "Boss, I should thank you even more."

We had dinner together to the accompaniment of soft music, and throughout the meal, all I saw in the girl's eyes was the light of trust.

An hour later.

"I'll take you home."

"Um."

Call a designated driver to take Qiuya home.

When we arrived at her building, she was still reluctant to leave. I had no choice but to gently pat her bangs and say, "Go home now. Your mother is waiting for you. Don't let her worry."

Qiuya: "Mm."

I watched Qiuya go upstairs.

After getting back into the car.

I haven't reached the state of perfect tranquility yet, but the progress I've made so far has made me quite overjoyed.

"Master, please take me to the most lively place in the area."

Designated driver: "Okay, boss!"

If you need something, hire a designated driver; if not, hire a taxi.

These are the two groups that know the local situation best; they are like living maps of the city.
