Chapter 474: Chapter 465: Wang Xing: I Have a Bold Idea
"Holy crap, when did you come? Why didnât you say anything?"
After dinner, in the company restroom, the two chatted while taking a leak.
Upon learning, he realized that Wang Xing had actually been employed at the company for over half a month.
To think they had talked on the phone just yesterday, yet this sly guy didnât mention a thing, and most importantly, Shen Yi didnât tell him either.
He was just focused on stock trading for over a month, not completely out of touch, so why did it feel like the world had changed so much since he came out?
"Didnât you say not to bother you unless necessary? Besides, Iâve finished my exams and canât just linger around, finding a job is inevitable, didnât you hope Iâd work here too? I thought about it, since itâs all in the business department, where doesnât matter, so I came. I didnât expect you wouldnât have been to work for over a month; youâre definitely someone whoâs got the boss handled, impressive!" Wang Xing laughed.
Taking civil service exams was just one path he chose for himself, not a dead end, failing it shouldnât mean not working at all, right?
"Shh!!! Keep it down, do you want to fly high?" At this, Su Qing hurriedly gestured for him to shut up. This was the company restroom; who knew if someone would suddenly pop out from one of the stalls?
Although it wouldnât be a big deal if the news got out, it would make things uncomfortable for him at the company. Heâs now President Shenâs secretary, while most department managers are polite to him, they are all still colleagues.
But if his identity changes to President Shenâs boyfriend, that changes the dynamic entirely. Everyone would be grinning cautiously, treating him like they do Shen Yi, which just thinking about makes him uneasy.
Simply put, he hasnât fully integrated into this company; he dislikes that kind of sycophantic interaction.
Heâs someone who could never be a boss, someone who canât manage people. Being self-sufficient and earning some money is the best outcome for him.
"Pssh, I really donât get what you guys are thinking, if youâre together, youâre together, why be so secretive? Itâs not illegal to date!" Wang Xing said disdainfully.
In response, Su Qing rolled his eyes and said, "You donât understand, this is about avoiding trouble. Besides, weâre not being secretive; otherwise, how would you know? Weâre just not spreading it actively; if asked, we wonât deny it."
Actually, on this point, he and Shen Yi have very similar views: dating is just between two people; itâs unnecessary to show off affection wildly in social circles and appsâhow tasteless!
Of course, if someone asks, they wonât hide it intentionally. Simply put, they donât broadcast it because itâs unnecessary.
"Couldnât care less about you. By the way, the big thing you mentioned last month, was it stock trading? They call you âStock Godâ online. Just how much did you make? I didnât dare to ask over the phone these past few days." Wang Xing looked curious.
Back then, when Wang Xing mentioned doing big things, Su Qing sort of sneered. But now, Wang Xing is starting to believe it.
If heâs being called a stock god, he must have made quite a bit, right?
"Take a guess, aim big!" Su Qingâs lips curled into a slight smile.
"Wow, this is exciting? 1 million?"
đđ«đđČđđđđ§đ đđđ„.đđđ
"Less."
"Jeez, really? 2 million?"
"Less."
"Damn, are you human or what? 5 million?"
"Still less."
"Holy crap, I seriously want to kill you. Could it be 10 million?"
"Whereâs your imagination? Think bigger, the bigger the better!" Su Qing both scolded Wang Xingâs narrow perspective and secretly enjoyed the moment.
He is also young; who wouldnât want to show off a bit? Only, there hadnât been a suitable opportunity. Although this is a substantial amount, both Shen Yi and his landladyâs net worth far exceed this. While they might be astonished, they wouldnât see him as impressive. Competing with them would be pointless.
Their savings are comparable to their... assetsâone more substantial than the next. Compared to them, heâs just a flat surface, nowhere near even a pair of aces.
As for Li Zijun and Du Qiang, those guys wouldnât believe him. Talking too much would only make it seem like boasting, devoid of any fun. Wang Xing, however, is greatâa perfect target for showing off.
Hearing this, Wang Xingâs eyes began to turn red, his breathing heavy: "I really shouldnât have asked; did you make 20 million or something?"
"You really are limited in your thinking; I told you to think big, and you still donât dare!" Su Qing looked at him with disdain.
"100 million?"
Su Qing: "Cough... no need to be that excessive, people might think Iâm honoring dead ancestors."
"Then how much exactly? Just say it; stop torturing me!" Wang Xing scratched his head.
At that, Su Qing raised three fingers.
"30 million?"
"300 million!"
"Nonsense, I donât believe it!"
Su Qing: ...
"Hey, just wait."
Saying so, he pulled out his phone, opened his banking app, and showed his balance.
He never bothers explaining to others, but Wang Xing was different. Theyâve been friends for years, and showing off a bit before him felt very satisfying.
"Holy crap~~~ President Su, President Su!!"
Upon seeing the balance on his phone, Wang Xing couldnât believe his eyes. If not for the stock god incident, he might have suspected his buddy was kept by a rich lady.
A month ago, though Su Qing had a million in savings, it was acceptable. But now, with his net worth in the hundreds of millions, the change is extraordinary.
"So, how about now? Am I President Su?"
"Yes, yes, yes, didnât know President Su was interested in butts. I have a bold idea."
Su Qing: ...
"Get lost~~"
Such nonsense; he has a perfectly good girlfriend, why switch to guys now?
Although Wang Xing got a punch from him, he laughed and muttered to himself: "Wow, my buddy turned out to be a billionaire boss, jeez, Iâm so amazing!"
[Though Wang Xing envied your big earnings, he wasnât jealous; he truly felt happy for you]
The narration appropriately arose, articulating Wang Xingâs feelings.
Just this cue indicated Wang Xing was someone worthy of befriending. After all, how many can watch a friend make money and not feel envious? Probably no one but oneâs own parents; even relatives compare and compete.
"Enough about me. By the way, did your exam results come out?" Su Qing asked.
Hearing this, Wang Xingâs expression grew slightly awkward, but he nodded: "Yeah, didnât pass, missed by a few places, so here I am, working!"
Though he expected this outcome long ago, hearing it still made Su Qing feel sorry for Wang Xing, knowing how hard he worked for over a month.
"And what are your plans with Miaomiao? Since youâre here now, things canât stay vague forever, can they?"
To that, Wang Xingâs expression fell further, and he sighed in resignation, "I wish, but I failed the exam, just started the job less than a month ago, havenât even been paid yet. How do I make it work?"
Itâs ultimately about money, with a bit of inferiority complex mixed in; guys are like that.
With that thought, Su Qing chuckled, saying, "Did you forget, you have 20,000 invested with me for wealth management? This time, I made a profit; naturally, you did too!"
At this, Wang Xing was stunned; he had completely forgotten.
"For real? You wouldnât trick me?"
"Of course not!"
"How much did it grow?"
"50... maybe 60 thousand."
"Su Daaaad!!!"
