She was very curious about what was in the shopping bag, so she approached Xu Yali’s workstation, and that’s when she saw the watch inside the box.
“Four hundred thousand, of course it’s beautiful!”
Xu Yali said delightfully.
“Ah?”
“It actually costs four hundred thousand!!”
Wang Bingru was stunned, not expecting a watch could be so expensive.
At the same time, she felt some envy, because Xu Yali was the only one among the three people in the president’s office who came out with two shopping bags.
In fact, this prospective graduate student had recently been in a state of constant indecision, as her sister, Wang Xueru, thanks to Mr. Yang’s presence, was living the life most women dream of.
Yet here she was, younger, prettier, and more educated than her sister, living the life of a working-class person.
Although it was just an internship, Wang Bingru felt she could already foresee her life after graduating with a master’s degree — the salary would probably be similar to now, but the work would likely be more exhausting.
After all, Mr. Yang was giving her a high-paying and less strenuous job now out of consideration for her sister.
Once she graduated, if she sought a job based on her education and abilities, she might not find a better one than she has now!
Not to mention the far-fetched, just take Fan Linlin who had been recruited a few days ago!
She was a graduate student from a 985 university.
In this era when the value of academic degrees has severely declined, a master’s degree really isn’t worth much.
Based on these realities she was witnessing, Wang Bingru truly felt somewhat shaken inside.
If she also became the boss’s woman…
Could she live a life like her sister’s?
Or even better, since she was, after all, in better overall condition than her sister.
“This is a Patek Philippe, four hundred thousand is quite normal.”
By now, Xu Yali had taken off the previous watch and had picked up her phone to take pictures.
The first Patek Philippe of her life definitely deserved a moment to show off on her social circle!
“Our Mr. Yang is really generous!”
Wang Bingru commented, again looking enviously at the Patek Philippe on Xu Yali’s wrist.
Her roommates and close friends often discussed luxury goods, and Wang Bingru, being exposed to their conversations, had some understanding of luxury brands.
The prestigious Patek Philippe was, of course, a brand she had heard of, but she had never browsed a Patek Philippe store, making this her first time seeing it in person.
Deep inside, she thought, if she had a Patek Philippe, wouldn’t her friends be green with envy?
“Our Mr. Yang is truly the most generous boss I’ve ever seen…”
Xu Yali also expressed her emotions.
“Li, I’m kind of not wanting to go to graduate school anymore.”
“Reading more is always useful, when you graduate, you will have more choices.”
“…”
Xu Yali imparted some experience to her younger colleague.
A little later, after finishing his work, Yang Hao came out of the office. He first chatted with his own Yibao for a few sentences, then took Xu Yali and left the company.
“Mr. Yang, where are we going?”
“Is it about work?”
After getting into the car, Xu Yali asked curiously.
“I’ve acquired a company, let’s go take a look.”
“Eh?”
“Which company?”
Xu Yali asked curiously.
“Do you know Tianmei Media?”
“Of course, I do!”
Xu Yali nodded, then asked with a shocked face, “Boss, don’t tell me you’ve acquired Tianmei Media?”
“Congratulations, you guessed right.”
“Ah??”
Xu Yali was startled. This second-in-command of the President’s Office was very capable at work, with a deep understanding of the related industry as well as the company.
The main business of Tianmei Media included: television program production and distribution, film investment and marketing, television series investment and distribution, as well as artist management.
Its scale far exceeded that of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, with a peak market value of over ten billion, and it currently must be worth several billion!
And now her own boss actually acquired this company valued at several billion!
Incredible!
This was too incredible!
Xu Yali had always thought that her boss’s net worth was less than a billion.
Now it seemed she had underestimated her boss!
Tianmei Building.
This was the headquarters of Tianmei Media, and the building was also Tianmei Media’s largest asset, with a total of 42 floors and an estimated value of around 1.5 billion.
Currently, floors below thirty were rented out, while Tianmei Media occupied the floors above thirty.
33rd floor, Artist Department.
Liu Cui, all smiles, said to Xiao Yinqiu, “Qiuqiu, we may be in for some good luck. The Chen Brothers have sold the company, and the new boss will take over in the next day or two.”
“If the new boss has any sense, he won’t continue to sideline you!”
“Really?”
Xiao Yinqiu’s long, enchanting eyes lit up.
She had risen to fame last year with “The Legend of Liang Yu” and then caught the eye of the well-known director Zhang Kaigang, who was also a ‘pillar’ of Tianmei Media.
He was just about to start a new film and wanted Xiao Yinqiu to play a part. Both being from the same company, and Xiao Yinqiu being in the rising phase of her career, this collaboration promised to be a win-win situation.
However, Xu Xiaogang was a bit of a lech and had an unwritten rule for getting a role in his productions: one had to accompany him in playing poker.
Xiao Yinqiu refused, and as a result, Xu Xiaogang replaced her as the female lead and exerted pressure on the higher-ups to downgrade Xiao Yinqiu’s resources.
Actually, the ‘sidelining’ that Liu Cui talked about was a bit of an exaggeration. Xiao Yinqiu still had some work, but they were all mediocre, cash-grabbing business deals which were profitable for the company but did little for her personal development.
“This is no joke.”
“The Chen Brothers just held an urgent meeting.”
The founders of Tianmei Media were the Chen Brothers, known internally as Big Mr. Chen and Little Mr. Chen, who together held 80% of Tianmei Media’s shares.
The shares given to Yang Hao by the System were from the Chen Brothers; how it was done, Yang Hao didn’t care, as it was the System’s business.
“Cui, we can’t be too optimistic,” said Xiao Yinqiu.
“Given Zhang Kaigang’s position in the company, the new boss wouldn’t want to offend him, right?”
After a brief moment of joy, Xiao Yinqiu calmed down again. The typically cool and fair-skinned beauty furrowed her brows slightly. Capitalists were all profit-driven.
One was a well-known domestic director, and the other was an actress who had only risen to fame last year.
In comparison, who would choose the latter?
“New boss, new atmosphere, it’s bound to be better than it is now!” Stay tuned for updates on M-V-L
Liu Cui shrugged with a smile, comforting her artist.
“Cui, Qiuqiu.”
“Go to the conference room on the 36th floor for a meeting!”
A staff member came over and notified them at that moment.
“Got it!”
Liu Cui nodded and then said to Xiao Yinqiu, “It looks like the new boss has arrived!”
“Let’s go, let’s see who this new boss is…”
Liu Cui tugged at Xiao Yinqiu, who was sitting in her chair. When the coldly beautiful woman stood up, she instantly imposed an intense sense of pressure on her.
Firstly, Xiao Yinqiu was quite tall – at 172 cm she towered over Liu Cui by half a head. Secondly, Xiao Yinqiu’s figure was graceful. Her sudden rise caused her chest to bounce vigorously, inducing envy in Liu Cui who was more ‘compact’.
And that waist, tidy enough to be grasped in a hand, one could only imagine how tempting it would look when she twisted.
So, you couldn’t entirely blame Zhang Kaigang – what man wouldn’t be mesmerized?
