#19 - Chapter 19 You want to pick me up?!
The call was from Xia Qingyan.
“Sister…”
Chen Hao woke up from his extreme emotions.
Seeing the number, he subconsciously called out…
“Classmate?”
Xia Qingyan was bewildered: “What's wrong with you?”
Originally.
She was calling to ask if he had arrived, or if he couldn't find the place?
Who knew that the other party would call her 'sister' as soon as he opened his mouth.
And he was sobbing.
“No… it's nothing!”
Chen Hao came back to his senses and tried to calm his emotions: “Teacher Xia, I'll be there soon.”
…
Outside the Quick \u0026 Lychee milk tea shop.
Xia Qingyan was sitting at a small table.
Xia Qingyan.
Chen Hao saw her at a glance.
He couldn't miss her even if he wanted to!
The sisters were complete opposites.
The younger sister was introverted and insecure, while the older sister was always radiant, the center of attention wherever she went.
Even sitting at a small table on the street, countless passersby frequently glanced sideways, revealing amazed expressions.
“You are… Classmate Chen?”
Xia Qingyan was stunned.
She easily caught an unusual detail—his eyes were red, as if he had just cried.
“Are you alright?” she asked with concern.
“I'm fine, it's just… my dad just called and said my cat is sick.”
“Cat?”
“Yeah! A cat I've had since I was little.”
“…”
Xia Qingyan didn't know what to say.
She thought that a member of Chen Hao's family had passed away.
His cat is sick, and he's crying like this?
Such a sentimental man.
Of course, this was his personality, and she couldn't say much: “Classmate Chen, you said your family business is facing problems, can you tell me the specific situation? I'll see if I can provide some useful advice.”
“It's like this.”
Chen Hao took a deep breath.
Xia Qingyan looked at him, waiting for him to state the situation.
“I want to invite Teacher Xia to be the CEO of my company,” Chen Hao said solemnly.
What?!
Xia Qingyan was dumbfounded.
This kid…
He's quite handsome, but is he a lunatic?
That's right!
He just claimed that his cat was sick, and he was crying like he was about to die—would a normal person do that?
“Classmate, are you sure you know what you're saying?” Xia Qingyan said coldly.
Her younger sister would run far away if she encountered a lunatic.
She was different.
This damned lunatic!
Disturbing her time with her younger sister, despicable!
“As the chairman of Hanteng Capital, I invite Miss Xia Qingyan to be the CEO,” Chen Hao said calmly, but his tone was firm.
“You…”
Suddenly!
Xia Qingyan felt that he looked a little familiar.
This kid…
Where had she seen him before?
“Chen Hao?!”
She suddenly remembered: “You're Chen Hao, the one who solved the Sunflower Conjecture, right? I saw your picture in the newspaper! But…”
How could a genius young man be a lunatic?
“It seems I'm quite famous,” Chen Hao smiled.
“Do you have a grudge against me?” Xia Qingyan's expression turned cold.
“Of course not!”
Chen Hao immediately denied it.
She was his sister-in-law, and she was good to his wife, how could he have a grudge?
“Are you trying to pick me up?!”
Xia Qingyan stood up suddenly.
Glaring at him angrily.
What?!
Chen Hao's eyes widened: “Teacher Xia, what… what are you saying?”
“First you said there was a problem with your family business, pretending to be a student of finance to ask for advice!”
“Now you're talking nonsense, saying you want to hire me as CEO!”
Xia Qingyan was very angry, glaring at him fiercely: “Either you have a grudge and are deliberately making fun of me, or… you just want to pick me up!”
“I admit that you have ability in academics, but character is more important than academics!”
“If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!”
“Don't bother me again in the future!”
Chen Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
No wonder she's his sister-in-law!
This analysis seems very reasonable.
Seeing that Xia Qingyan was about to leave, he slowly said: “There's no grudge, and I don't want to pick you up.”
“Teacher Xia, do you think there's a third possibility?”
“Like, sincerely inviting you to be the CEO.”
Xia Qingyan paused.
Without turning her head.
“Even if it's true, I'm not interested!” she said coldly.
She likes this school.
She likes being a teacher.
In short.
She was very satisfied with the status quo and had no intention of changing jobs.
“Then what will it take for you to agree?”
“No matter what…”
Xia Qingyan's mind stirred.
This kid isn't going to pester her, is he?
Regardless of his purpose, she didn't want to be entangled all the time, and directly refusing wasn't the best strategy.
The best thing to do would be…
To propose a condition that he couldn't meet, so that he would be too embarrassed to pester her again.
“Classmate Chen.”
She turned around, no longer keeping a cold face, but instead smiling amiably: “You should know my resume, right?”
“I have requirements for salary, and I also have requirements for the company.”
“I don't like small companies!”
“When your company's market value exceeds 100 million, then come and talk about hiring me, how about that?”
Chen Hao smiled.
“How does Teacher Xia know that my company's market value hasn't exceeded 100 million?” he asked.
“Prove it to me!” Xia Qingyan sneered.
“Okay.”
This time it was his turn to lift his leg and leave.
After walking a few steps, he paused: “Teacher Xia wouldn't dare to come with me, would you?”
Let's go!
She wasn't a timid younger sister!
The key.
Was to completely cut off his thoughts.
…
Lujiazui.
Two 20-story office buildings flanked the main building in the middle, which was as high as 32 stories.
Although the office buildings had already been sold, Ma Dafa left security guards to work in shifts 24 hours a day.
This was what Chen Hao requested.
There was no way around it!
The company hadn't been built yet, and they hadn't recruited security guards, so they could only borrow people from Ma Dafa.
“Hello, Chairman Chen!”
The security guards greeted him one after another.
Xia Qingyan's heart thumped.
He…
He really has a company?
That's not right!
After getting closer and looking up, she found that these three buildings were all in a rough state.
She could hear noises, as if workers were renovating, but the renovation hadn't been completed, and no company had been established.
There wasn't even a company sign.
“Chen Hao, that's enough, right?”
She frowned and said in a cold voice: “Know when to stop, if you can't keep up the pretense, it won't be a pretty sight!”
Chen Hao didn't say anything.
He walked inside, into the elevator of the main building, and the elevator went all the way up.
Until the rooftop.
“Chen Hao, stop!”
“Teacher Xia.”
Suddenly!
Chen Hao took out the property ownership certificate, handed it to Xia Qingyan, and pointed around: “This will be the financial center of China—let's start here together and turn China into the center of the world, how about it?”
Opening the property ownership certificate.
Xia Qingyan was dumbfounded.
Yes.
He wasn't renting a floor to open a company.
But…
All three buildings were his!
“You…”
She stared blankly at Chen Hao, with an expression of disbelief.
“You're too arrogant!” she gritted her teeth.
Relying on him alone?
Turning China into the center of the world?
Even if he bought three buildings, saying this was still very arrogant!
“How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried?” Chen Hao asked with a smile.
“I'm sorry.”
Xia Qingyan took a deep breath: “I went back on my word! Even if your company's market value exceeds 100 million, I won't…”
Suddenly!
The phone rang.
To be precise, Chen Hao had secretly dialed a certain number two minutes ago.
After receiving the signal, the other party called Xia Qingyan's phone.
“Principal?” Xia Qingyan answered.
“Teacher Xia.”
In the phone, Xie Wu's tone was unkind: “Many students have reported that your class is just theoretical, and they also said that you have no practical experience and don't know anything about management.”
“How can a teacher with no practical experience, who is completely theoretical, teach students well?”
“I personally think that you're not very suitable for teaching, or…”
“Go to the logistics department next semester.”
What?
Xia Qingyan thought she had misheard.
Theoretical?
Knows nothing?
Not suitable for teaching?
She returned to China after achieving academic success, not to go to the logistics department, but to teach students!
The principal kept saying that she had no practical experience.
With her proud personality, she was half dead with anger at these words.
She glanced at Chen Hao, who was facing away from her, and said into the phone: “I won't go to the logistics department. Since the principal also thinks that I have no practical experience… then, I'll try practical work.”
After speaking, she hung up directly.
“Chen Hao, I accept your offer.”
Walking in front of Chen Hao, she said in a cold voice with a cold face: “I want to shut the mouths of those who question me!”
