Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 492 Job Change
Jiang Qingkui, who was standing in a corner in a daze, suddenly heard his own name and looked up in confusion.

Jiang Qingkui was not in any situation at all at this moment. He just heard Zhou Wang's call and subconsciously walked towards the stage.

Jiang Jiaxing and Li Xiaolei on the side also looked confused. They looked at each other and also didn't know why Zhou Wang asked Jiang Qingkui to go up at this time.

"Why don't I ask Qingkui to come back? Qingkui is about to resign anyway, so why should I let this Zhou family kid order me around?"

Li Xiaolei, who was angry, couldn't help but speak and was about to call Jiang Qingkui.

But Jiang Jiaxing stopped him and shook his head helplessly, saying, "You'd better stop messing around. No matter what, Qingkui is working for him now, and it's such a major occasion. Do you still want Qingkui to embarrass him in public?"

"I just can't let out my anger. How is our Qingkui inferior to that celebrity? It was Zhou Wang who chased after our Qingkui in the beginning, but now he doesn't even like Qingkui anymore?"

"Well, sister...I think you should persuade Qingkui."

Looking at the angry Li Xiaolei, Li Xiaoya beside her finally couldn't help but speak.

"What do you mean?"

Li Xiaolei was stunned.

"What, how can I put it?"

Facing her own sister, Li Xiaoya did not beat around the bush. "In today's society, every rich man has three wives and four concubines. Among Xiang Ming's circle of friends, there are people who live with their first wife and mistress. I think this Mr. Zhou is not an ordinary person either. Qingkui likes him so much, so he should be more tolerant of him..."

Li Xiaolei was confused at first. After thinking about it for several times, she finally realized what Li Xiaoya was saying. She said in disbelief:

"You mean, let Qingkui tolerate Zhou Wang and just...just become his mistress?"

"It's not that I have to be a mistress. After all, Zhou Wang is not married yet. Qingkui may not have no chance... You also said that Xia Xiwei is just an actress. I heard that many rich people are taboo about this and will not marry actors. Maybe Mr. Zhou is just playing with her?"

Li Xiaolei made a logical analysis, "No matter what, we must not let Qingkui back down at this time. They are childhood sweethearts, and you and your brother-in-law have a good relationship with his parents. From any angle, Qingkui has a better chance than that guy named Xia..."

"Xiaoya, what the hell are you talking about!"

This time, it was Jiang Jiaxing who couldn't help but yelled, "We, Qingkui, are going to compete with other women for men? This is ridiculous!"

"Brother-in-law, calm down. Xiaoya is doing this for Qingkui's own good. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to meet someone like Mr. Zhou. If Qingkui can really get married with him, it would be a good thing..."

"Good thing?"

Jiang Jiaxing sneered when he heard this, "I think it's a good thing for you, so you can get close to Mr. Pei."

"What does this have to do with us?"

Xiang Ming's face turned red when he was exposed, but he quickly distanced himself from the matter.

……

Jiang Qingkui suddenly came to his senses after he stepped onto the stage.

But she kept her duties in mind and showed no emotion on her face. She just smiled generously and walked to Zhou Wang's side.

Many of the guests present saw Jiang Qingkui for the first time, and their eyes were filled with amazement.

After all, in our daily lives nowadays, whether on the Internet or in real life, what we see most are various sweet girl styles. It is still very rare to see a beautiful woman like Jiang Qingkui who has a cold and queen style.

"Many people may not know her, so let me give you a brief introduction."

Zhou Wang smiled and pointed at Jiang Qingkui, "This is Miss Jiang Qingkui. Jiang means 'the spirit of a great general' and 'the heart of grass and trees', Qing means the green fields and Kui means the bright sunflowers."

"Before, she was nominally my secretary, but in fact she was my most important business partner. When she followed me, I was not as successful as I am now, but she gave me the greatest trust, so here, I want to say thank you to her first."

Facing Zhou Wang's sincere eyes, Jiang Qingkui stood there in a daze. The smile on his face became stiff, and there was a rare hint of confusion in his expression.

She didn't know why Zhou Wang suddenly said this. Did he notice her emotions and comfort herself in this way?

Why is this person always like this...

Every time I want to stay away from him, he will do something to touch me at the right time.

However, Jiang Qingkui had to admit that the strong defense she had just built up began to fall apart after Zhou Wang's few words.

But when Jiang Qingkui's eyes moved and happened to see Ding Yi sitting in the audience watching all this with a bright smile, Jiang Qingkui's eyes became cold again.

No matter how many nice words Zhou Wang said, he could not change certain established facts.

She was obviously not the type of person who was indecisive, but she had been struggling in this vortex for too long, and it seemed like it was time to put an end to it.

Just when Jiang Qingkui wanted to harden his heart again, Zhou Wang turned his gaze to the audience again, holding the microphone and continued:

"In fact, today's dinner is not just for the unveiling of the 'Hope Fund'. As I just said, I also want to announce something, which is...

"From today on, my Wangzhou Culture will move into the Magic City and use it as its headquarters. We will integrate all my businesses, including the Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce that many friends are concerned about, and formally establish the 'Wangzhou Group'!"

When Zhou Wang finished speaking, the curtain that had been covering the background wall below the stage fell down, revealing another line of large characters.

[The establishment ceremony and unveiling ceremony of "Wangzhou Group"]

"And Miss Jiang Qingkui, who is standing next to me at this moment, will serve as the first CEO and chairman of the board of directors of the group. At the same time, she will also obtain a certain amount of equity and become my real business partner, so I would like to ask everyone to remember her. In the future, you may have to deal with her in many things..."

Before Zhou Wang finished speaking, there was already a lot of discussion and noise in the audience.

Many people sat up straight with serious expressions.

Among these people, some are like Guo Wangshan, who know how great the potential of Zhou Wang's "Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce" is. Some people, like Qiu Zeyu, vaguely know how exaggerated the assets represented by Zhou Wang's industry...

When these resources were integrated into group operations by Zhou Wang, they had to consider not only how to deal with Zhou Wang in the future, but also how the Wang Zhou Group would affect the business landscape when it landed in the "economic center" of China, Magic City...

At this point, this dinner has gone beyond the scope of being just a "charity fund dinner". The significance it represents is worthy of deep thought by everyone present.

Everyone was talking to each other with their heads down, but Jiang Qingkui, who was standing on the stage, seemed to have fallen into another world in an instant.

She could no longer hear what Zhou Wang said next, nor could she see the faces of the people below the stage. In her ears, only Zhou Wang's words kept echoing -

"Ms. Jiang Qingkui will serve as the first CEO and chairman of the board of directors of Wangzhou Group, and will also receive a certain amount of equity..."

As Zhou Wang's personal secretary and the person who assists him in managing all the assets under his name, Jiang Qingkui knows best how much money Zhou Wang has.

That was a huge asset worth billions, and now Zhou Wang was going to hand it all over to her for management. Not only that, she would also get equity.

When she signed the labor contract with Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang had promised to give her equity rewards, but Jiang Qingkui never thought that this day would come so soon and catch her off guard.

Although Zhou Wang did not specify how much equity she would get, even if it was a few tenths of a percent, when the unit is "billion", it would be an exaggerated number that an ordinary worker would not even dare to imagine.

For Jiang Qingkui, what she cares about is not money at all.

What’s more, Zhou Wang not only kept his promise, but also magnified it tenfold and a hundredfold and gave it to her.

She recalled the trepidation she felt when she walked into Man Coffee in Mingcheng, the hesitation she felt when signing the employment contract, and the embarrassment she felt every time she had to introduce herself to others as "Zhou Wang's secretary"...

However, at this moment, all these accumulated negative emotions disappeared into thin air.

Jiang Qingkui couldn't remember the last time she cried, but when she came to her senses, she found that she couldn't see clearly what the man in front of her looked like.

But it doesn’t seem to matter anymore. Anyway, in her eyes, the world at this moment can only see her.

So, with his emotions agitated, Jiang Qingkui made an extremely bold but seemingly reasonable move.

She walked quickly forward, suddenly threw herself into Zhou Wang's arms, raised her head and offered her extremely hot red lips to him.

Zhou Wangshi, who was still talking nonstop, was startled. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and turned his head in time, so Jiang Qingkui only kissed him on the cheek.

"Pay attention to the occasion!"

Zhou Wang took the opportunity to hug Jiang Qingkui and pinched her plump buttocks without leaving any trace. At the same time, he whispered a reminder in Jiang Qingkui's ear.

Jiang Qingkui finally came to his senses from the pain and instantly realized how crazy his behavior was. After all, in addition to the guests in the audience, there were also cameras from the media.

Jiang Qingkui's pretty face turned red, but she quickly adjusted her expression and hugged Zhou Wang tightly again before letting go.

There was a jeer from Zhang Dashao and others in the audience. Fortunately, Jiang Qingkui didn't really kiss Zhou Wang on the mouth, so no matter what others thought in their hearts, at least it could be smoothed over on the surface...

It is normal for work partners to hug and kiss each other out of excitement.

Zhou Wang then turned around with his arm around Jiang Qingkui, handed the microphone to her, and said with a smile:

"Next, please allow Ms. Jiang Qingkui, CEO of Wangzhou Group, to say a few words to everyone..."

Jiang Qingkui, who was totally unprepared, took the microphone and was flustered for a moment, but she was not an ordinary person after all. She quickly took a deep breath, walked forward, and said with a smile:

"Hello everyone, I am Jiang Qingkui..."

……

When Jiang Qingkui gradually found his own rhythm from the messy sentence order and began to speak on the stage, many people in the audience were watching this scene with mixed feelings.

For example, Lin Ran and Xu Wenxi.

Lin Ran knew about this matter before. In order to give Jiang Qingkui this "huge surprise", she was solely responsible for this part of the preparation work, so she immediately changed her attitude towards Jiang Qingkui.

Xu Wenxi was envious but also very happy for Jiang Qingkui. After all, she and Jiang Qingkui were the first people to follow Zhou Wang. Now that Jiang Qingkui had "made it", she also had a sense of honor.

Xu Wenxi was not worried about her future because she knew that Zhou Wang would never treat her badly.

Ding Yi, who was sitting at the front, across the table, still had a bright smile on his face, but the warmth in his eyes was dropping suddenly.

She didn't care about the intimacy between Jiang Qingkui and Zhou Wang just now. She just knew clearly that... now it would be more than ten times more difficult to get Jiang Qingkui to leave Zhou Wang.

“It was almost successful.”

Ding Yi murmured to himself, feeling a rare sense of frustration.

Nie Xiaoyun, who was standing by, seemed to sense her daughter's lost mood. She gently held Ding Yi's hand and whispered something to her.

"really?"

Ding raised his head, and his originally dim eyes brightened a little.

While Nie Xiaoyun was comforting Ding Yi, Jiang Jiaxing and his wife, who were standing across the aisle, also had mixed feelings.

When Jiang Qingkui pounced on him just now, others might not be sure, but as Jiang Qingkui's parents, Jiang Jiaxing and Li Xiaolei naturally knew what Jiang Qingkui wanted to do.

Jiang Jiaxing felt bitter inside, but he couldn't say anything. The reversal planned by Zhou Wang himself was indeed beyond their expectations.

Looking at Jiang Qingkui's current expression, it is obviously impossible for him to mention resignation.

For a moment, Jiang Jiaxing and Li Xiaolei couldn't tell whether this was good or bad...

On the other hand, Xiang Ming and his wife were extremely happy, but they were concerned about Jiang Jiaxing and his wife, so they didn't dare to show it too obviously, but they couldn't suppress the smile on their faces.

……

Zhou Wang left the stage to Jiang Qingkui to perform freely. What she said was not important. What was important was to make everyone have a deeper impression of her.

After successfully pushing Jiang Qingkui to the front of the stage, Zhou Wang felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. This way, he could concentrate on completing the fourth round of action.

Zhou Wang had just stepped off the stage and was about to smoke a cigarette when Lin Ran walked over quickly.

"Boss, there seems to be some problem with the elevator. A guest wanted to leave and found that the elevator couldn't be used."

"Elevator out of order?"

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Don't we have five elevators to use?"

"Even five elevators can't be used..."

"How can this be?"

Zhou Wang said in disbelief, "How could five elevators break down at the same time? Is it such a coincidence? Where are the people from the property management center?"

"I've been in contact, they said they'll be in touch soon..."

Lin Ran was about to explain when suddenly, accompanied by a dull sound, the whole building seemed to tremble. Amid the exclamations and chaos, Lin Ran, who was standing unsteadily, fell into Zhou Wang's arms...
