Chapter 2166 The Original Wife Left Home with Nothing 92
Zhang Yu has been extremely busy lately. Her good friend Feng Lina finally came to the port city to meet her. The two of them are busy looking for an office, because to start a proper business, you need an office.

The office doesn't need to be big, but it should at least look presentable, otherwise people will feel embarrassed.

After searching around, I finally found an office of about 50 or 60 square meters, a meeting room, a finance office, a data room, and a very large office. It's fair to say that the place is really not big.

Looking at this office, Zhang Yu could only say, "Such a small place, yet the rent is tens of thousands."

“Every inch of land is precious,” Feng Lina sighed. “It’s alright, there are only two or three of us here.”

So far, the finance department has been outsourced, and the finance office is essentially a data room.

"Keep going, I believe we will succeed." Zhang Yu was absolutely confident that she and Feng Lina could succeed in their business.

Feng Lina nodded. "By the way, that project you chose last time, I took a look at it. It's pretty good, but do you really think it will definitely succeed?"

“I looked at the team he was with before, and I don’t think there are many problems with their project.” Feng Lina had studied it and really thought the project was quite good, but she didn’t know why Zhang Yu didn’t like it.

"The project is good, otherwise when I went to Beijing, I would have tried to contact them, but..." Zhang Yu said helplessly, "They didn't think I looked like a rich person, so their attitude was so-so."

“Even when I expressed my desire to invest, the response was always cold and indifferent.” Zhang Yu sighed helplessly. “It’s not that I don’t want to invest, but I really have no other choice.”

“People look down on me.”

“They’re so arrogant, but I can’t give up. I need to find a way to contact them. You know, a lot of college students go on university BBS these days, so I went to take a look.”

"Really, I spent a long time browsing the BBS." She couldn't remember exactly how long, but it definitely took a considerable amount of time. "Then I came across some content."

"There was a lot of information on it, and after making some simple inquiries, I came to some conclusions." Zhang Yu recounted what she had seen on the BBS and what she had learned from her inquiries.

Feng Lina was surprised to find that Zhang Yu had actually joined the founder's university's BBS, and she actually made a discovery.

"So after thinking about it, I was already backing down. Plus, the other party was indifferent to me, so of course I couldn't just go over there and make a fool of myself."

"When Xie Zhen found out, he gave me a chance to invest. Although I wasn't very optimistic about it, I wasn't sure either. Plus, there was such a good opportunity, so I thought about it and decided I couldn't miss it."

"What if they perform well?" Zhang Yu recalled some things that happened a few days ago when she went to sign the investment agreement. "To be honest, this company is getting a bit arrogant."

"Of course, I'm not saying this out of disrespect for me, a small investor. It's just that, to put it another way, it gives the impression that their projects are good and they have plenty of investors, and they don't care much about small investors like me."

"Then I heard some other rumors, but I don't know how true they are." Zhang Yuxian said that she had indeed heard some rumors, but she didn't know how true they were.

"The deputy head of the logistics department, who had only graduated a few years ago, had already bought a four-bedroom apartment in Beijing, in a pretty good location."

"Of course, this isn't the founder; he's from their university's student union and joined the company after graduation." Some things don't need to be stated explicitly; a brief hint suffices. "An ordinary person?" Feng Lina gasped. If it were family-funded, buying a house like this shouldn't be a problem. But if the family couldn't offer any assistance, it's unlikely that such a young university graduate could afford such a large house in Beijing, potentially worth several million.

Zhang Yu nodded, "For a very ordinary person, I reckon the greatest luck in his life was choosing the right side."

"This is no small sum of money. Even a deputy can earn such a substantial income. What about the other departments?"

"It can't be that only he took action." The company is developing very quickly, and it's really easy for things to go wrong, and this is what happened.

"By the way, he bought such a big house, don't those people even realize it?"

"Didn't they consider the shady dealings involved?" Good heavens, Feng Lina really didn't know what to say.

"So I'm really clear-headed." Zhang Yu felt very lucky to have found out this information.

"You managed to find out all this, how come Xie Zhen and the others didn't know?" Zhang Yu usually stays in Hong Kong, so how could she know these things? I'm really curious.

"Why didn't they know?" Zhang Yu thought for a moment, and according to the common practice in large companies, "These are employees' private matters, why would they inquire about them?"

"And to put it bluntly, they have a condescending attitude." Zhang Yu looked at Feng Lina.

Feng Lina thought for a moment and nodded, "We won't pay attention to these things either." She added after a moment's thought, "Mainly because in the eyes of foreigners, these are all private matters that cannot be inquired about. You know that foreigners are actually very concerned about their private matters."

"Therefore, we can only discuss these methods privately; we can't bring them up in public." Some things are best kept to ourselves; once they're brought into the open, they become unacceptable.

“And after the founders receive funding, their expenses increase, or they get carried away. They have luxury houses and cars, so it’s normal for them to want to live a better life. Otherwise, why would they work so hard to earn money?” Zhang Yu can really understand why they do this.

"But what a startup should never have is a lack of motivation from its founders. If a company loses its motivation to move forward, its growth will slow down."

"They're in the lead now, but aren't there many people chasing them?"

"Once an idea becomes popular, someone will inevitably start copying it."

"Of course, I also hope this project will be a success and bring me more entrepreneurial opportunities." Zhang Yu really needs this project; otherwise, she really won't be able to continue with other investments.

Zhang Yu was optimistic about the trump card that could make the investment company famous overnight. Of course, this was just his own opinion, and in the end, he still hoped that the company would do well.

"By the way, I saw someone in our classmates' group chat the other day saying that Lin Yu actually appeared on TV, looking like a stock market expert. How did he come up with this idea?" Feng Lina remembered Lin Yu implying that it would lower his status, so why would he do this now?

"So someone actually did it?" Zhang Yu was genuinely surprised. "They really did it, didn't they?"

Seeing how interested he was that day, Zhang Yu thought he would most likely agree, but after not seeing any further developments, she assumed he had given up and perhaps found a better path. She never expected him to actually take action.
