Chapter 11 I'm going to Hong Kong
After dinner, Lu Yiming continued typing code.
The next day, early in the morning on Saturday, Lu Yiming came again. Today, Lin Yuzhen went out to play with her classmates, so Lu Yiming was left alone and free, and his code-typing speed increased by three times.
It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Lu Yiming returned home.
Ning Xuehua smiled when she saw Lu Yiming coming back: "Xiaoming is back? Come quickly and see who is here."
After changing into slippers, Lu Yiming walked into the living room and looked up. He saw two faces that were both familiar and unfamiliar. He compared them with his memories and thought carefully for a few seconds before he smiled: "Hello, Auntie, cousin Yiwen."
Ning Xuewen is Ning Xuehua's sister, three years older than Ning Xuehua. As Ning Xuewen's son, Li Yiwen is six years older than Lu Yiming, but the two brothers have had a good relationship since they were young, so there is no generation gap between them.
Ning Xuewen smiled cordially when she saw Lu Yiming: "Where did Xiaoming go to play? Why did you come back so late?"
Ning Xuehua couldn't help but brag when she heard this, "Xiao Ming didn't go out to play. Recently, whenever he had time, he went to his homeroom teacher's house to do tutoring. He's been there for a week now, and every time the homeroom teacher called me and told me that he's making rapid progress."
Women all love to compare and show off.
When I was young, I compared my figures and faces. Now that I’m older, I compare my husbands and children.
Before, Lu Yiming was a hopeless case, but now that he has finally turned over a new leaf, Ning Xuehua of course wants to spread the news widely, wishing to let all the relatives at home know that his son has become successful!
Ning Xuewen was surprised and delighted after hearing this: "Oh? Really? But Mingzi is in his second year of high school, so it's time for him to study hard and get into a good university. Like your cousin, he graduated from college more than two years ago and is currently working as a financial officer in a foreign trade company. He works in an office, out of the wind and rain, and I don't know how many people envy him."
It's easy to flatter people with fancy clothes. Lu Yiming still understands this worldly wisdom. He smiled and responded casually: "It's good to be a financial officer. You can manage the boss's purse."
In Lu Yiming's memory, Li Yiwen had done quite well in his previous life. After working in a foreign trade company for a few years, he jumped to a foreign-funded enterprise and was promoted to a senior executive position within five years. He had an annual salary of one million, lived in a mansion and drove a luxury car, and married a Ukrainian model with a great figure. He lived a shameless and happy life, which made countless people envious and jealous.
Based on this life experience, it is definitely much better than most people's struggles.
But Li Yiwen did not seem very happy because of Lu Yiming's compliment. Instead, he showed some dissatisfaction and helplessness: "What's good about it? The boss is an idiot who didn't even graduate from elementary school and doesn't understand the financial system at all. Often, I talk for a long time but it's all in vain. He can make me speechless with just one sentence. Oh, I'm so tired."
When Lu Yiming heard this, he was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Oh? Tell me, what is your boss's stupidity?"
Anyway, they were not in the company and were not facing colleagues, so Li Yiwen had no taboos when talking to Lu Yiming about his work.
Li Yiwen lay down on the sofa and began to talk about his experience: "Can you imagine? A boss actually thinks that financial personnel can neither generate income for the company nor provide valuable business information to the company. Their daily work is nothing more than keeping accounts and filing tax returns. It is not important to the company. They actually think that I just take money all day without doing any work. Isn't it infuriating?"
Lu Yiming originally said this with the intention of watching the fun, but after hearing Li Yiwen's complaints, he was immediately shocked.
The boss he was talking about is really a complete idiot.
You should know that in the professional field of finance, under the premise of legal and compliant accounting, there are various ways to save and avoid taxes just in terms of taxation.
On the premise of making full use of tax preferential policies, an excellent financial accountant can use his or her brain to help the company avoid taxes or even exempt them from taxes.
On the other hand, financial accountants can naturally do the opposite and deliberately not take advantage of preferential policies, but let companies pay taxes normally, increase operating costs, thereby squeezing working capital, and even turning a business that was originally profitable into a loss-making business.
To put it bluntly, for a boss, it doesn't matter if he offends other employees, but if he offends the finance department, he might be killed without even knowing it.
But when he thought about the fact that many people who came out to do business these days were rough guys with nothing but courage, and were all ignorant of the law, Lu Yiming felt that this was actually very normal.
Lu Yiming thought of Li Yiwen's job-hopping, and guessed that it was because of this boss's idiocy. Then he thought of how successful Li Yiwen was after the job-hopping, which naturally proved from the side that Li Yiwen's professional quality must be extraordinary and he must be a person with real ability.
Seeing the resentment and frustration on his cousin's face, Lu Yiming suddenly became interested and began to think about recruiting him.
I have been reborn and it is time to do something big. As the saying goes, many hands make light work. I need to recruit a group of capable people anyway, so it doesn't matter who I recruit.
My cousin Li Yiwen is trustworthy in terms of loyalty and ability, and is an extremely suitable candidate.
Lu Yiming smiled and tried to test: "Cousin, since your boss is so stupid, have you ever thought about going out on your own?"
Although nepotism is a taboo in business, it still depends on how it is used . If there are no principles, no matter who comes, let alone relatives and friends, there will be nothing you can do.
As a reborn person, he has seen too many tragedies in this regard, and naturally too many successful cases. He is confident that even if he wants to win Li Yiwen over, he will be able to control it.
Li Yiwen was somewhat moved after hearing what Lu Yiming said, but he was also hesitant: "Go out on my own? What can I do?"
Although he complained about his boss and felt that the company was not good here and there, the risk of going out on his own was still very high, and he simply couldn't afford the risk with his current small body.
The most important thing is that he doesn't know what else he can do after he gets out.
Besides, working in the financial accounting field means you are born to work for others.
Lu Yiming did not directly ask Li Yiwen to work for him. After all, nothing had happened yet, so it would be pointless to say anything.
"I'm just saying it casually, you don't have to take it seriously. I just think happiness is your own. With your talent and ability, why should you bow down for a few pieces of silver?"
Lu Yiming made a few random remarks to change the subject, and then got down to business: "By the way, cousin, can you help me get a Hong Kong pass? Didn't Hong Kong Island return to China last year? I heard that it's completely different from here, and I want to go over there and see the world."
