"What have you done again? You've made a mess of these people!" Song Rushi asked Jiang Yizhou, who had returned home late last night and was now yawning as she noticed the situation in the office.
"Me? I just invested three hundred thousand dollars in two employees to help them complete a search engine," Jiang Yizhou replied casually.
Aside from the less than one million dollars prepared for Sohu and over three hundred thousand dollars for buying a house, he felt that the money was really disappearing quickly!
"Was that a personal action or a company action?" Song Rushi immediately widened her eyes and pressed for an answer.
"Of course it was my personal action, Sister Ru Shi. Am I the kind of person who would recklessly use company assets without consulting you?" he defended himself somewhat sheepishly.
"You are!" Song Rushi said with certainty. When the boss gives an order, subordinates run around like crazy, especially with Jiang Yizhou's various strange commands, such as his incomprehensible splitting operations.
She had almost gotten used to being a caretaker. Faced with this "talented" but willful and immature giant baby, her temper had long been well-trained, but she still occasionally clashed with Jiang Yizhou to vent her emotions.
...
"Jiang Xiaojuan, Mom is here to see you!" A flamboyantly dressed woman entered a newly opened store and immediately spotted Jiang Xiaojuan at the counter, assisting a customer with a recharge operation. She called out enthusiastically.
Her identity was beyond doubt; she was Jiang Yizhou's Aunt San and also the mother of the girl named Jiang Xiaojuan. With makeup that disregarded her age and a stunning outfit, combined with her still attractive appearance, she truly exuded charm—if one overlooked the purpose of her visit.
Since her daughter had been brought to the capital by a distant nephew whom she had reconnected with after being estranged, when her daughter wrote to her for the first time, the woman did not expect that this nephew would treat her daughter so well. Earning six hundred dollars a month was definitely a high salary. At first, under the pretense of saving money for her, she urged her daughter to send money back home.
For the first two months, her daughter obediently sent money back. However, afterward, she mentioned in her letters that there were some difficulties at work and that salaries could not be paid temporarily.
The woman, thinking with her toes, wondered who would dare not pay her wages while working at her nephew's place. She must have learned bad habits outside or been deceived; suddenly losing the remittance from her daughter made her feel the pinch of money and hurriedly come here.
"Mom, I'm on duty right now! I'll talk to you properly after my shift," Jiang Xiaojuan, who was with Mao Ya, finally mustered some courage to speak normally to her mother.
The woman completely ignored her, casually walking behind the counter and sitting next to Jiang Xiaojuan. She noticed various snacks and drinks on the shelf behind and grabbed a bottle. "I just got off the train; I'm so thirsty! Everything I bought on the train was ridiculously expensive!"
"Mom, that's for sale!" Jiang Xiaojuan could never get angry with anyone, especially her mother; she only spoke in a voice barely above a whisper.
"It's fine; you don't have any internal benefits here anyway. Just consider it as me having a drink. What can the boss do about it?" The woman didn't take it seriously at all; if she could take advantage of something, she would. After all, she couldn't let her daughter get fired over this!
"This is an internet café, right?" A seemingly hurried office worker urgently needed to use a computer. He read the introduction posted at the door. "Open an account for me. Are there computers available in the internet area?"
"Do you have an ID? It's best to use your ID number for the account. You need to enter your password twice and specify how much you want to recharge!"
Jiang Xiaojuan was currently working as a front desk staff at an internet café opened by Li Yue. In fact, this was the only internet café Li Yue had opened due to heavy asset constraints that prevented him from opening a second one.
Moreover, it seemed that Li Yue had found a suitable job for herself. After Ma Huateng and his colleagues arrived, she was relieved of temporary management duties and took over Zheng Yi's advertising promotion department and the sales department of Vast Universe, which were areas she was initially good at.
However, during this time, due to Jiang Yizhou constantly shifting responsibilities onto her, including the Training Class and then throwing the domestic matters of Zheng Yi into her lap, she had no time or energy left to focus on what she wanted to do.
As for the Training Class, she contacted Sun Yuliang as per Jiang Yizhou's request since his wife was coming here to prepare for graduate school, and he followed along. It seemed appropriate for him to take over, but during the handover, Sun Yuliang expressed some regret about Jiang Yizhou.
With her mother’s arrival, she didn’t dare leave her alone here. It wasn't until her shift change that Mao Ya came in, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief as she prepared to take her mother out to rest at her place.
Suddenly, the woman pointed at Mao Ya and shouted, "You're the one in charge here, right? Who gave you the right to withhold my daughter's wages? Why aren't you paying her!"
Indeed, Mao Ya was the person in charge here. However, having learned a lot from Li Yue and seen many people, she glanced sideways at the woman and said, "Oh, so it's you, Auntie."
She noticed the opened snack packages and empty bottles that Aunt Juan had left behind and asked Jiang Xiaojuan, "Have these been paid for?"
"Who told you not to pay my daughter? I don't even have money to eat! How much have you deducted from her unpaid wages, huh?" The woman leaned back in her chair behind the counter, crossing her legs. Her wavy hair, which she tossed in anger, must have cost quite a bit.
At first, Mao Ya paid Jiang Xiaojuan's wages on time. However, she was surprised to find that Jiang Xiaojuan was living on just a few buns and some pickles. Since Yuejie needed to take care of her, Mao Ya occasionally helped out. After some indirect probing, she got results.
This made her furious; no matter how she tried to persuade Jiang Xiaojuan, it was useless. In the end, Mao Ya simply withheld the money. Whenever they went out to eat together or when she helped Jiang Xiaojuan buy things, she noticed that Jiang Xiaojuan didn't even have a few decent pieces of clothing.
"You, as a mother, are still trying to justify yourself? Your daughter's wages are almost all sent back to you. Look at your face and what you're wearing—everything was bought with your daughter's money! I'm just not going to pay her; what are you going to do about it?" Mao Ya couldn't stand such irresponsible parents; otherwise, she wouldn't have come out like this.
"What are you? My daughter doesn't need your guidance! Good girl, let's go," the woman suddenly caught sight of the cash drawer at the register filled with money. Although there were bills ranging from one dollar to one hundred dollars, it was still money. Feeling excited, she reached into the cash drawer and grabbed some bills for herself while saying, "If you're not going to pay my daughter, then I'll just take it myself!"
An unexpected incident occurred in the midst of this chaos; the woman's foot accidentally tripped over a wire. Feeling herself stumble, she panicked and pulled hard...
