Chapter 25 Scheming Subordinate and Ruthless Boss

Chapter 25 Scheming Subordinate and Ruthless Boss
"Seven or eight thousand?"

Chen Nian's vision went black.

"Forget it, I don't mind being a little tired. I'll just treat it as learning more."

"Don't bother me!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiyue became somewhat anxious.

"Seven or eight thousand is really not much!"

"You see, your assistant needs to manage four accounts for you every day, and also do promotion and write copywriting."

“These jobs would be done by several people in other companies. You’re paying for one job and doing several jobs. Isn’t that a sure way to make a killing?”

"And even if you spend a fortune, it will come back again!"

"Once you become famous, won't you be afraid of not having money?"

Looking at Xia Qiyue, who was winking and gesturing wildly at her, but never daring to look her in the eye, Chen Nian became even more certain.

This woman is up to something!
"Forehead"

Under Chen Nian's slightly narrowed gaze, Xia Qiyue's rambling voice came to an abrupt halt.

She bent down and stroked Xiao Lan's fur.

His voice sounded somewhat guilty.

"Please think it over carefully."

"If seven or eight thousand isn't enough, then we can lower it a bit, five or six thousand is fine too."

Chen Nian looked at her without saying anything.

"Four or five thousand is not out of the question; there will always be some stupid college students who will take the bait."

Chen Nian continued to keep an eye on it—

"You're not thinking of hiring an assistant for 3,000? No way! Absolutely not! No one would be stupid enough to fall for that!"

Seeing that Chen Nian still didn't speak, Xia Qiyue became anxious. She put her hands on her hips and looked at Chen Nian with resentment, her face practically screaming, "I'm not stupid."

puff--

When Chen Nian saw that Xia Qiyue's face was flushed with anger, she immediately burst out laughing.

"As expected, all that going around in circles today, teaching me how to set up a platform and suggesting I hire an assistant, was just to promote yourself, wasn't it?"

Case solved!
Chen Nian's confident tone instantly made Xia Qiyue's face turn even redder.

But she didn't hesitate at all.

"Damn it! You saw right through me!"

"Then I'll just say it straight!"

Xia Qiyue pulled a chair toward Chen Nian, and the chair screeched on the ground.

"The platform setup I taught you before was just the most basic stuff, consider it a friendly favor. As for suggesting you hire an assistant later, that's also out of my goodwill."

"Kindness! Kindness, don't you understand?!"

She pointed her index finger at the website where the video had just been successfully posted, correcting the statement, a hint of embarrassment still lingering on her face.

Chen Nian leaned back slightly and then shrugged.

"Alright, alright, then I'll thank Teacher Xia for her kindness in advance."

"Humph!"

Xia Qiyue crossed her arms, crossed her legs, and tilted her head.

"It's fine if you don't want to hire an assistant. I'll teach you everything I know, and then we'll be even!"

"What if you want to?"

"If you're interested, then you'd better seriously consider your salary!"

Looking at Xia Qiyue, who was staring at her with wide eyes and tilting her head to look at her sideways, a thought came to Chen Nian's mind.

Could this be the legendary tsundere?
"Well, five, six, seven, or eight thousand is impossible."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Nian looked at Xia Qiyue seriously and said.

"The income from live streaming is currently unstable, and I cannot afford such a high salary, plus..."

"I have money to use!"

If he weren't such a complete novice when it comes to the internet, he wouldn't actually want to hire an assistant.

But just now, Xiaomi told Chen Nian that as his live stream grows bigger, more daily tasks will be triggered, and he will need to spend time and energy to complete them.

This back-and-forth will inevitably lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the live stream, creating a vicious cycle.

Unless Chen Nian refuses to accept the mission.

But in order to one day be able to touch the big cat with my own hands, the mission is impossible not to do.

In addition to the cat intimacy level, the other rewards are also incredibly useful, greatly enhancing his live stream performance!
Therefore, the best solution at present is to hire an assistant.

And the sooner the better!
The sooner you can develop a rapport with your assistant, the more efficient your collaboration will be.

The girl who suddenly barged into his life seemed to be a suitable choice.

Chen Nian raised two fingers.

"two thousand."

"Two thousand?! You can't even swindle those recent college graduates with two thousand! Forget it! I'm not putting up with this! Goodbye!"

Xia Qiyue angrily picked up Xiao Lan and pretended to leave.

This person is so insincere!

"Plus a commission."

"Huh?" "There's a commission?"

Xia Qiyue swiftly sat back down in her original position, even her posture while holding Xiao Lan was exactly the same.

Chen Nian thought she was seeing things.

"Yes, commission."

"Although the base salary is two thousand, as long as you do the behind-the-scenes work well for me, I can give you a commission based on the work you do and the gifts you receive in the comments."

How much should you ask for?

"It depends."

"What's the situation?"

Xia Qiyue pouted slightly, revealing a deep dimple.

Chen Nian shrugged: "How would I know what's going on? There are too many uncertainties with live streaming. I might be gone tomorrow, so it's really hard to say."

"In short, once I become famous, I will definitely treat you well."

Chen Nian made a solemn promise.

He didn't know how his offer fared in the market, but it was the most sincere offer he could make.

If Xia Qiyue refuses, then Chen Nian will have no choice but to do it herself first.

"That's so unreliable."

Xia Qiyue met Chen Nian's sincere gaze. Her dark eyes seemed to sparkle like stars. She slightly looked away and made a sarcastic remark, then suddenly waved her right hand.

"do not care!"

"Two thousand it is! Let's settle next month's rent first."

Rent? Is this kid even worse off than me?

"Is it a pleasure to work with you?"

"Happy cooperation!"

pia!

With their hands gently tapping each other on Xiao Lan's head, the cooperation was officially established.

Xia Qiyue's expression brightened, and she gave Chen Nian a big smile before opening her palm to him.

Chen Nian glanced at it.

"The palm lines are clear, the skin is fair and rosy, indicating good health, and the career line and marriage line are both very long."

"You can read palm lines?!"

"Nope."

"Then why did you say I have a long marriage line!"

"Didn't you ask me to see it?"

Seeing Chen Nian's puzzled expression, Xia Qiyue gritted her teeth and forced out two words while maintaining a smile.

"salary!"

"Hey, you're trying to get an advance on your salary before you've even started? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Xia Qiyue gestured towards Chen Nian's computer with her lips.

"Na!"

"Didn't I just do some work for you? Does that mean I'm officially on the job?"

Chen Nian cried out that she had been tricked and pointed at Xia Qiyue.

"A scheming subordinate!"

"Heartless boss!"

Looking at Xia Qiyue's self-righteous attitude, Chen Nian looked left and right, then reached out and snatched Xiao Lan away, holding her in her arms.

"You can get an advance on your salary, but to prevent you from running away, I'll leave Xiao Lan with you for now."

"no problem!"

Xia Qiyue nodded without hesitation.

After Chen Nian transferred the money to Xia Qiyue, she leaned close to Xiao Lan's ear and started whispering about her mother.

"Look, look, look! That wicked woman actually dumped you for two thousand yuan. She's so inhumane."

"Hey! Don't talk bad about me in front of Xiao Lan!"

Xia Qiyue lunged forward to cover Xiao Lan's ears, but Chen Nian stood up and dodged her. He lifted Xiao Lan high, out of Xia Qiyue's reach.

"I'm your boss now. Please address me by my title in the company from now on, thank you."

Xia Qiyue looked up at Chen Nian with a forced smile.

"Okay."

"Then let's just stick to our own things from now on."

"Here I call you boss, but what should you call me outside?"
