Chapter 187 A Dilemma
In the evening, the weather suddenly turned gloomy. Before the dark clouds completely covered the setting sun, heavy rain poured down. Looking through the window, the raindrops splashed like beads and the sound was like drumbeats. The trees on both sides of the street swayed in the wind, and moist water vapor hit my face, bringing a hint of coolness, which was refreshing.
Rainy days are good for thinking.
So Chen Jianghe specially sat by the window at the back door of the Light Chaser base, quietly looking at the young girls standing under the awning deep in the alley, working diligently and patiently waiting for their prey to appear.
There was a girl with great eyesight. She smiled and winked at Chen Jianghe from a distance of several rental houses. The corners of her mouth moved as if to say, "Handsome boy, do you want a beauty? Fifty dollars, fifty dollars!"
Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows, took out a cigarette with interest and lit it. Just when he had smoked about a third of the cigarette, he saw a young man holding an umbrella, looking around at the entrance of the alley. After a little hesitation, he walked into the alley without hesitation. A few minutes later, he followed a young girl in cool clothes into a rental house deeper in the alley.
"I love you for walking alone in the dark alleys, and I love you for not being expensive."
Chen Jianghe flicked the ash from his cigarette, and an inspirational song suddenly flashed through his mind.
A few minutes later, the sudden rain stopped.
Chen Jianghe casually opened the window, and humid air came in through the window, mixed with the fragrance of grass and soil. Water droplets dripped from the lush green branches. It was clearly midsummer, but it was full of spring.
"Penguin Group offered 35 million to recruit my team, and Red Rock Capital gave me 30 million in angel round funding to help me start my own business. On one side is a domestic Internet giant, and on the other side is a foreign capital giant. It's really hard to choose."
Chen Jianghe stroked his chin and carefully weighed the pros and cons. It was difficult to make a decision for a moment.
Once recruited by the penguins, one cannot escape the fate of working for others.
If the company accepts financing from Hongyan Capital, most of its future profits will have to be handed over to foreigners.
If 9527 Company does not choose either side, given its current financial situation, it may not be able to hold on for long.
The bell for the end of get out of class rang in the distance.
About ten minutes later, a pretty girl wearing a light yellow Pikachu-printed short-sleeved shirt, denim hot pants, and a pair of white sneakers trotted out of the back door of the School of Finance towards the Light Chaser base.
"boss!"
Chen Jianghe heard a familiar call and turned around to see Lin Siqi running up to him in the blink of an eye, with a trail of wet stains all over his face, stroking his chest and panting.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Jianghe looked at her with a smile and asked, "Is there something important that you need me to handle?"
"No." Lin Siqi shook his head and said, "I want to see you soon."
"Oh." Chen Jianghe said, looking at the Pikachu pattern on the secretary, he couldn't help but praise: "You look very suitable for this outfit, very cute."
Hearing this, Lin Siqi looked down at herself, then looked around, and found that there was no one around, so she playfully leaned close to Chen Jianghe's ear and whispered, "I don't know what happened recently, it seems to have grown a little bit. When I wore this dress before, it didn't feel tight."
Chen Jianghe was stunned at first, then he said seriously: "This is normal. Being with excellent people will make you become even better."
"Yeah!" Lin Siqi nodded in agreement. Seeing that Chen Jianghe seemed to be in a good mood, she weakly made a request: "Boss, I, I want a raise, is that okay?"
"Increase salary?" Chen Jianghe blinked.
Lin Siqi said , "I'm responsible for recruitment, finance, attendance, copywriting, PPT, and warming the bed. My monthly salary is only 500 yuan, which is really a bit too little."
"Then how much do you want to add?" Chen Jianghe asked.
When Lin Siqi heard that there was a chance, he immediately held up two fingers and decisively attacked: "Add twenty!"
Chen Jianghe looked at her deeply, and suddenly smiled and said, "You are worthy of being my secretary. Your flirting skills are better than mine?"
Lin Siqi smiled and said with a little pride: "If I am with excellent people, I can become even better."
"Your operation is great. I would like to call you Xiu'er." Chen Jianghe gave Lin Siqi a thumbs up, touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry. I want to eat old-fashioned steamed buns."
Lin Siqi's face was bright red, and she smiled and said, "I just took a look on the way here, and it seems that the old man selling steamed buns with old dough is not out today. Do you want some sweet white steamed buns?"
Chen Jianghe felt that there was something wrong with what the secretary said: "I am really hungry..."
"I was wrong..." Lin Siqi bit her lip lightly, turned around and took out money from Chen Jianghe's pocket: "I'll go to the front door to see if there's anything for sale. Do you want to eat anything else?"
"You can have some more braised beef, braised chicken wings, bean curd sticks, edamame, fried skewers, and beer." Chen Jianghe said, "Let's eat together. I'll wait for you on the fifth floor."
"Okay~"
Lin Siqi happily agreed, took the money and ran out to buy food.
Chen Jianghe watched her run away, a smile on his face: "The little secretary is getting prettier and prettier."
This is not just a matter of beauty in the eyes of the beholder, but a true reflection of many college girls.
When I first entered college, the immaturity and naivety of high school had not yet faded away. Most girls did not know how to use skin care products and cosmetics to dress themselves up, and their clothing style was reserved and conservative, in sharp contrast to the sexy and trendy senior girls. Unless you looked like Jiang Yishu, it was difficult to impress others.
As time goes by, girls grow from immaturity to maturity, and their once "dusty and dirty" looks gradually become radiant under the polishing of time and the blessing of skin care products.
Lin Siqi is different. When she first entered college, she was very good at dressing up and matching clothes, but unfortunately she chose the wrong route.
After being with Chen Jianghe, she actually felt like she was going against the current of her innocent days. She transformed and sublimated little by little, and her beauty became natural and pure.
"Si Qi!"
Lin Siqi was queuing up to buy steamed buns at the front gate of the college when she suddenly heard a man calling her.
She turned her head and saw that it was Zhang Mingjie from South China Normal University.
Zhang Mingjie walked up to Lin Siqi with big strides and said with a bright smile, "What a coincidence. I just wanted to come here for a stroll today, but I didn't expect to see you as soon as I got off the car."
"Yeah." Lin Siqi nodded.
Zhang Mingjie looked up at the front of the line, took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to Lin Siqi: "I've heard that the old-fashioned steamed buns at Yuedong Finance College are fragrant and sweet. I'm lucky to have come here this time. Can you buy me two to try?"
"No." Lin Siqi refused bluntly; "If you want to buy it, you can go to the back and queue up."
Zhang Mingjie was not embarrassed at all when he was rejected, because he had no idea how many times he had been rejected by Lin Siqi before. He smiled and said shamelessly, "Actually, I want to treat you to a meal. Can you please give me some face?"
"Not good." Lin Siqi was already accustomed to this kind of routine and refused to respond at all.
"You don't have to be polite to me." Zhang Mingjie wanted to stuff the money into her hand and take the opportunity to create some physical contact.
Lin Siqi frowned and took a few steps back; "Stay away from me."
Zhang Mingjie was about to approach him, but suddenly a tall and strong boy came out from behind the team, grabbed his collar, and said unceremoniously, "Brother, what do you mean? Are you trying to pester me?"
Zhang Mingjie was startled, but pretended to be calm and asked back: "What do you mean? You are a college student after all, why are you so unreasonable?"
"I don't like you." The tall boy frowned, raised his wrist, and threw him two or three meters away. He staggered and almost fell into the water pit.
"You're so weak." The boy glanced at Zhang Mingjie, then turned to Lin Siqi and smiled innocently, "Secretary Lin, don't be afraid. I, Cheng Jinshan, am here. I will beat up anyone like him."
