The world is in trouble

Chapter 44 The strongest force is to attack the heart!
After hearing Lin Xiao's words, many girls present felt inexplicably sour in their eyes and inexplicably blocked in their hearts.

Most of them come from rural areas in remote provinces, and they really have a younger brother at home.

Some of their brothers are well-behaved, while others are heartless and look down on them.

But the money they earn is really used to support their family and their younger brother who is studying.

What they want most in their hearts is their parents' affirmation, and to say to them, "We are sorry that we favor boys over girls, but you have made great contributions to the family."

Or the younger brother may say to them, "Sister, you have worked hard. When I get out in the future, I will definitely repay you."

But for whatever reason, they barely heard it.

And what Lin Xiao said really touched the most sensitive part of their hearts.

"Huang Yan'er!"

Next, Lin Xiao accurately called out each person's name and personally distributed the first paycheck to each person.

The wages of nine people have been paid.

So far, he has paid out 27,000 yuan.

Finally, he took out another five thousand yuan and handed it to Su Tao.

"Sister Taozi, we just rented this place. The whole building is ours. It has simple furniture, but it's definitely lacking something. I'm a boy so it's not convenient. This five thousand yuan will be used to buy you some daily necessities."

"So thank you for your hard work, Sister Taozi."

Su Tao took the five thousand yuan and immediately felt an inexplicable sense of trust.

Moreover, she felt as if she had become the leader of these nine girls.

Lin Xiao said: "We are an Internet company. This building is our office and accommodation area. Next we need to increase the broadband and buy you a dozen computers."

"Also, we need to give you work uniforms. I'll give your respective sizes to Sister Taozi later."

Then, Lin Xiao turned on the computer and showed some pictures.

They are all various white-collar uniforms, very formal and very decent.

These girls work in the special service industry in Hangzhou. Although they have high incomes, they feel very inferior inside. Every time they see the sophisticated white-collar workers walking out of the office buildings, they feel ashamed and fantasize, how great it would be if I were the one working there?
However, these white-collar workers all need a bachelor's degree or above. Most of them were born in rural areas and have not received much education.

And nowadays, this kind of elite white-collar workers also appear in TV dramas.

And now, Lin Xiao wants to provide them with a kind of spiritual satisfaction. Working in an Internet company and wearing decent uniforms, are we also white-collar workers?

If my parents knew this scene, how happy would they be?
"There are six styles in total. You pick two sets, one is a skirt and the other is pants."

All of a sudden, the nine girls couldn't wait to make their own choices.

In the end, they voted and chose the first set and the third set.

In fact, Lin Xiao knew that they would definitely choose the first and third sets because they were the best looking, the most decent, and the most exquisite.

Even better than the white-collar uniforms in office buildings in Hangzhou.

These two sets of clothes were actually chosen by him, but it seemed as if the girls had chosen them themselves.

However, voting is the easiest way to increase cohesion and a sense of belonging.

"Next, you may also need to fill in your home address, because the company will send some gifts to your home during New Year's Day and Chinese New Year to express its appreciation."

"Of course, it's completely voluntary, no coercion."

"Momoko, you are responsible for the uniform sizes and the home addresses of all the sisters."

Su Tao immediately stood up and said, "Okay."

I don’t know why, but this feeling is so good, like a leader.

It was clearly a small matter, but it seemed as if I had been entrusted with an important task.

"We also have an investor named Xia Xi. I don't know if you have heard of her."

"She holds a master's degree from Tsinghua University, a doctorate from Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, and is a first-prize winner in the National Olympiad and a second-prize winner in the International Olympiad."

Then, Lin Xiao took out a pile of newspapers and placed them in front of everyone.

These are all Xia Xi's deeds and her various glories.

There was even one from the People's Daily, which contained the news that she won the second prize in the International Olympiad, and it also had her photo.

Now the girls were truly in awe.

They have low educational background, so they admire higher education and identify more with the halo of prestigious schools.

Su Tao couldn't help but ask: "Is this Xia Xi our boss?"

Lin Xiao said: "No, she is my partner and deputy."

Everyone's eyes suddenly changed when they looked at Lin Xiao. Such a powerful person actually serves as your deputy?
So how good are you?

The previous words were all a subtle display of pride. Then, Lin Xiao changed his rhythm again, and his voice became gentler: "Sisters, I was actually born in the countryside just like you."

"My family was also very poor. My sister went out to work in a factory to support my studies."

"So when I see you, I feel really warm. The scene of my sister holding my hand and going to elementary school with me always comes to my mind."

"Of course, the image of her pinning me to the ground and beating me when we were fighting always comes to my mind."

"What I can't forget even more is that my sister went out to work at such a young age. She had never even been to the county town, but had to go to Guangdong, thousands of miles away, to work. She was less than 17 years old at the time."

"She cried and told her parents that she didn't want to go. But as she cried, she said she wanted to go..."

After these words were spoken, many girls' eyes turned red, and some even shed tears.

Because, when they went out to work, they were all of the same age, and they were all so anxious and full of yearning for the outside world.

Then, they suffered endless hardships. Finally, because they couldn't bear the hardships, they switched to this line of work.

I have more money, but I also suffer a different kind of suffering, a more unbearable one.

"To be honest, I'm a genius. Some time ago, I developed a software and sold it to Kingsoft." Lin Xiao said, "Do you know Kingsoft?"

Huang Yaner raised her hand and said, "I know, I know, it's a very large high-tech company."

Lin Xiao said: "Sister Yan'er knows so much."

It feels great to be praised in public, even for adults.

Lin Xiao continued: "This software sold for hundreds of thousands, and then I met Miss Xia Xi in a coffee shop, and I proposed my business plan."

"Then, she was moved by me, sold her house in Beijing, and came with the money to start a business with me."

"People are strange sometimes. For those who understand you, you don't need to say much. For those who don't understand you, it's useless even if you open your heart to them."

"Just like last night, when I saw those three gangsters trying to kill that girl, I didn't care and just rushed over. I never thought that those three gangsters had knives in their hands and I might really die."

"And you were the same. When you saw me fighting with the criminals, you didn't even think twice and just rushed over."

"We all have hot blood, we all have chivalrous hearts, we are all stupid..."

The nine girls once again recalled the scene of last night.

Especially the scene where Lin Xiao rushed over to fight with the three gangsters. He was really brave and heroic.

Lin Xiao continued: "I didn't expect to meet in this way last night."

"But this is probably a special fate bestowed upon us by God."

"The few hundred thousand I have is not much. Even if we add Miss Xia Xi's few hundred thousand, it's still not much."

"But to change the fate of my family and my own fate."

Then, Lin Xiao’s gaze fell on the faces of the nine girls in front.

"And to change your fate, I will do my best."

"You quit your job and came directly to me. This decision may be a rash one. Maybe you make a lot of rash decisions."

"But for me, it is a heavy responsibility, which means that this part of your life has been handed over to me."

"Whether I can change your fate is a question of my ability; but whether I want to change your fate is a question of my determination."

"I will take this responsibility without hesitation until all my money is gone."

"If it succeeds, all of our families will be rewritten and we will all share in the prosperity."

"If you fail, then we'll meet again in Jianghu. At least we've made our destiny come true for a few months."

“The world is not easy, we need to stick together for warmth.”

"I long to eat from the same pot with you, even for just a few months."

Having said this, Lin Xiao paused for a long time, more than a minute.

"Okay, whether you want to leave or stay, you guys decide for yourselves."

"You don't have to tell me. If you want to leave, just leave directly. Or you can stay overnight and leave early tomorrow morning. But don't tell me. I'm afraid I'll feel bad."

"I'll give you fifteen minutes to make a decision and discuss it, okay?"

"I'm going out for a walk. I'll be back in a quarter of an hour."

Then Lin Xiao left, leaving the space to these nine girls.
