Chapter 57: 056: Sky-high Invitation! _1
Translator: 549690339
The girl’s hand was soft, delicate, and slightly cool to the touch. It left him with a strange sensation, as if it could reach his heart, causing him a hint of lightheadedness.
What surprised Song Beicheng more was that this girl knew how to shake hands. Not only that, but she also understood the protocol very well. She barely grasped his hand, quickly let go after a light grip, showing courtesy without feeling awkward, as though she had undergone professional training.
If she were some kind of socialite, that would be one thing. But she was just a noodle seller…
After letting go, Ni Yang asked, “May 1 know the reason for Mr. Song’s visit?”
Song Beicheng slowly began, “Ms. Ni, you should be very clear about the purpose of my visit.”
Compared to the term ‘Miss’, ‘Comrade’ was more popular in this era, but since Song Beicheng was a businessman, and with his international outlook, his thinking was far ahead of most people.
Ni Yang was smart, she knew what Song Beicheng meant. Her red lips slightly parted, rejecting softly: “Thank you for your kind intentions, Mr. Song. If you are here for that matter, 1 must apologize. 1 might disappoint you.”
Song Beicheng smiled in response, “Is Ms. Ni really not considering it anymore?”
Ni Yang shook her head slightly, “No need.”
Half-closing his eyes, Song Beicheng softly said, “I’ve heard that Ms. Ni’s business is very good, every morning people line up to buy your noodles. If you sell about 6oo bowls of noodles every day, and each bowl is for three cents, then, including cost, you earn about 180 yuan per day, which is 5400 yuan per month. Comparing this amount, it seems the 100 yuan monthly salary 1 offered was indeed too little…”
It was only after calculating that he realized how shocking the numbers were!
This young girl might be of tender age, but her earning ability was anything but!
No wonder she had scoffed at his previous offer of a 100 yuan monthly salary.
It seemed that it wasn’t about her not loving money, but rather his offer lacking in comparison to her appetite.
Song Beicheng looked at Ni Yang and continued, “I apologize, Ms. Ni, for the lack of sincerity in my previous offer. Now, 1 am willing to hire you for double your current monthly income. What do you say?”
At these words, even Li Gongcheng was astonished.
Twice the income?
The second master just said that Ni Yang earns 5400 yuan a month.
So how much was double?
Li Gongcheng quickly calculated in his mind and once he got the answer, he looked at Ni Yang, his eyes full of disbelief.
Ni Yang earns 5400 yuan a month selling noodles?
And second master…
He’s really willing to offer over ten thousand yuan to hire a noodle cook?
If second master wasn’t joking, then he definitely must be crazy!
No matter how rich, money couldn’t withstand such reckless spending!
Ni Yang’s face was still calm, as if unaffected by Song Beicheng’s offer, “Mr. Song, I’m sorry to disappoint you, my answer stands.”
Not to mention ten thousand yuan, even if it were a hundred thousand yuan a month, Ni Yang wouldn’t consider it.
Song Beicheng’s offer was indeed very tempting, but she had her own dreams and aspirations. Working for someone else for a stable wage didn’t suit her.
However, it must be said, Song Beicheng was being quite obstinate, willing to spend 10000 yuan to hire a cook.
The disparity between the rich and the poor was indeed seriously imbalanced regardless of the era.
While some people still haggled over a cent for a bun, the wealthy were willing to spend tens of thousands to hire a cook to satisfy their palette.
She didn’t understand the world of the rich.
However, no matter how things change, the rules of survival remain the same.
Fate would not cheat those who strive and work hard. Time would give you everything you want.
Ni Yang never believed in fate, nor in anyone else. She trusted only herself. “Refuse?” Song Beicheng frowned slightly, a flicker of displeasure in his eyes. He continued, “Ms. Ni, this salary isn’t low. In all of Beijing, perhaps only 1 am willing to hire you for this sum.”
She wasn’t satisfied with ten thousand? This girl looked modest, but apparently, her appetite was huge.
Ni Yang smiled softly, “Mr. Song, you misunderstand, it is not a matter of money…”
Before Ni Yang could finish her sentence, Song Beicheng interrupted, “Twenty thousand!”
There must be no one he couldn’t convince with money!
Ni Yang’s expression remained unchanged, “Mr. Song, I’ve made it very clear that it is not about the money. Even if you increase the offer to a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, 1 will not…”
“Fifty thousand.” Song Beicheng interjected again, his tone nonchalant as if the money was just a mere number in his eyes…
Song Beicheng was usually arrogant, he even managed to negotiate with the most shrewd foreigners on the business field. How could he not convince a young girl?
Men tend to have a dominant nature, they naturally love for conquest!
To conquer everything.
Ni Yang smiled slightly and stated bluntly, “It’s pointless to keep discussing when we’re not on the same page, Mr. Song. 1 apologize but 1 have things to attend to.” As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up her stool and started walking towards the neighboring shop.
“Ms. Ni,” Song Beicheng extended his long leg and blocked Ni Yang’s path. “1 am serious right now and I’m not joking with you.”
Ni Yang glanced up at him, “And 1 am not joking either, Mr. Song. There’s a principle that you ought to understand.”
Song Beicheng frowned slightly, “What principle?”
Ni Yang smiled, she stated clearly and deliberately, “Sincerity cannot be bought with gold.”
Once she had spoken, she moved past Song Beicheng and continued on her way toward the neighboring shop.
Song Beicheng paused for a moment, then quickly caught up with Ni Yang.
Li Gongcheng, on the other hand, was left standing in shock.
He never expected Ni Yang to refuse…
That was a whole fifty thousand!
Money that an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to earn in several years…
At the neighboring shop.
As usual, Liu Wei was sitting in front of the door reading a book. Seeing Ni Yang approaching, he quickly stood up, smiling, but his smile faded a bit when he saw the well-dressed man following her.
He was a tall and handsome man with a distinguished demeanor. Seeing him beside Ni Yang, Liu Wei had a feeling like they were a well-matched couple which left him feeling inferior.
But he didn’t understand why such an excellent man would take a fancy to Ni Yang.
Other than being pretty, Ni Yang didn’t seem to have any other advantages.
No education, no family background…
Maybe their relationship wasn’t what he had been thinking.
Thinking this way made Liu Wei feel a little better, he walked over to Ni Yang, reaching for the stool, “Ni Yang, you’re here.”
“Mmm.” Ni Yang nodded slightly, not handing him the stool, “1 can do it myself.”
That was to say, her relationship with Liu Wei was not yet to the point where she would let him carry things for her.
Liu Wei’s expression changed slightly, he then asked: “Ni Yang, is this man your friend?”
“No.” Ni Yang shook her head slightly..
