Chapter 93 8 Years of Fortune Telling
"Professor Zhang, I'm finally about to graduate with my master's degree!"
Qu Xiaoxiao ran towards Zhang Liangjun while shouting, waving a cell phone in her hand. Zhang Liangjun had excellent eyesight, but he could only see a text message interface. However, Zhang Liangjun had already heard Qu Xiaoxiao's shouts and understood her feelings.
"Very good! I said it eight years ago, I have high hopes for you! As long as you listen to me obediently, I will definitely make you achieve your wish!" Master Zhang already has a lot of experience with a certain skill A.
Qu Xiaoxiao affectionately hugged Zhang Liangjun's arm, "Let's go find Sister Xiaotong later and ask her to cook me a couple of good dishes to celebrate!"
“Your sister Xiaotong is at the company; I just came from there! It might be a while before I can go home. How about we go eat Japanese food? Let’s experience a bit of the primitive lifestyle again!” Zhang Liangjun made the decision.
Qu Xiaoxiao has improved a lot and is already used to following orders. "Okay then, Japanese food is fine too."
Zhang Liangjun looked at the obedient Qu Xiaoxiao with a satisfied expression! Qu Xiaoxiao had been successfully educated! Although she borrowed some skill power, it was also inseparable from her own efforts! After all, Qu Xiaoxiao was a human, not someone who could be directly transformed by simply saying "Deep Blue, add points".
Zhang Liangjun started a game company during his freshman year of college. Riding the wave of the mobile internet boom, he launched several phenomenal games, including Temple Run, Plants vs. Zombies, and Snake. They were all essentially plagiarism. However, Zhang Liangjun is also searching for talented and innovative young people to join his team, preparing to create some new games himself.
In the early days of the company, there was a shortage of manpower, especially trustworthy people. Ji Xiaotong naturally came into view. She majored in statistics, which wasn't a perfect match for her field, and her abilities and grades weren't particularly outstanding, but these were things that could be developed. Zhang Liangjun invited her to help out at the company, initially putting her in charge of the finances when the company was still small. After eight years of hard work, Ji Xiaotong has developed the demeanor of an elite professional and is now the company's Chief Financial Officer.
Ji Xiaotong is much better than Zhong Xiaoqin. Zhong Xiaoqin is a lazy person with no ambition, but Ji Xiaotong is different. She works hard, wants to help Zhang Liangjun at the company, and has indeed been a great help to him. Nowadays, Zhang Liangjun can go for days without going to the game company, but if Ji Xiaotong doesn't go to the company one day, some projects will come to a standstill.
Everyone thought that Ji Xiaotong would be promoted to boss's wife, but after several years, there has been no progress.
Ji Xiaotong was also quite troubled. Once, when Ji Xiaotong was out on business with her subordinates, they passed by a fortune-telling stall. On a whim, Ji Xiaotong suddenly wanted to have her fortune told, even though she had never had one before, she just inexplicably wanted to try it.
After dismissing her subordinates, Ji Xiaotong went to see a fortune teller alone. The stall owner had Ji Xiaotong extend her hand and place it on the table. After observing it carefully for a moment, he gave her a palm reading: "Metal overcomes six directions and controls eight directions; Wu, Jia, and Xin heavily hook and injure. The day and hour are half-combined, making it difficult for the wife to be good; Yang combines with Yin and declines, Hua Gai is inlaid." This roughly means that Ji Xiaotong's fate is not good; she has a destiny that brings misfortune to her father, mother, husband, and siblings, though not very strongly, but the effects will still be felt over time. However, this destiny is particularly favorable to her children; they are protected by her destiny and will have a smooth and successful life. The fortune teller suggested that she get divorced after marriage, so that the divorce wouldn't sever ties, which could be considered a way to resolve the issue.
Ji Xiaotong asked the fortune teller if there was any way to completely resolve the issue. The fortune teller said that it was the wife who would bring misfortune, so the solution was very simple in the old society, but in the new era, you need to be able to accept it! Moreover, whether or not the solution is resolved, it will not have any impact on offspring.
From that day on, Ji Xiaotong's gaze towards Zhang Liangjun became complicated, and she deliberately kept a distance from him. Zhang Liangjun noticed something was amiss and asked Ji Xiaotong what had happened, but she only said nothing was wrong, her period had started.
Qu Xiaoxiao was equally hardworking. With Zhang Liangjun's help, she persevered for two years and finally got into the Business Administration program at Shanghai Maritime University—a major chosen by Zhang Liangjun. She started preparing for graduate school right after graduating with her bachelor's degree.
The Qu family's business underwent changes when Qu Xiaoxiao graduated from university.
Orders are frequently snatched up, suppliers cut off supplies, and long-term partners terminate their cooperation. In short, the company suddenly becomes a mess.
At this moment, Qu's mother appeared and analyzed the situation for Qu's mother. She said that such a ruthless attack on the Qu family must have offended someone, and that person was a very powerful one!
Mr. Qu agreed wholeheartedly, but after investigating for a long time, he still couldn't find out who was targeting the Qu family, as so many companies seemed to have no connection on the surface.
Qu's mother offered another suggestion: why not transfer ownership of the company to Qu Xiaoxiao's name first? After all, she's a daughter who will get married someday; perhaps her future husband will stop, considering she won't be bullied?
Mr. Qu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed. After all, judging from the situation, if they couldn't stop the other party, the company was very likely to go bankrupt. A common problem in the real estate industry is the heavy burden of upfront financing. Although the Qu family wasn't directly involved in real estate, they faced similar risks. If payments and construction were stalled, the cash flow would likely dry up. Besides, it was still their family business, after all, in their daughter's hands!
Mr. Qu was just trying it out, but he didn't expect that the transfer of shares would be so effective! The other party quickly withdrew their hand, and the suppliers and partners continued with their previous operations, as if nothing had happened.
After acquiring the assets, Mrs. Qu did not fall out with Mr. Qu. However, Mr. Qu, realizing what had happened, tentatively asked Mrs. Qu if the company could be transferred to Qu Lianjie.
Only then did Mrs. Qu's face turn cold. She questioned Mr. Qu, asking why he had appointed Qu Lianjie as the general manager of the branch company. She knew perfectly well what he was up to! Want to leave the company to Qu Lianjie? Dream on!
In a fit of anger, Mr. Qu left the company, but Mrs. Qu was no pushover either. She had connections with most of the company's veterans and had already secretly made arrangements. Mr. Qu left with nothing but a belly full of anger!
The only one who suffered was Qu Lianjie. His fortune of hundreds of millions vanished suddenly! He lost his job at the company, and even his car, registered under the company's name, was reclaimed. All that remained was a villa his father had helped him buy, but it was purchased with a loan, and he still had a mortgage to pay! How was he going to live now?
The one who made the move was Zhang Liangjun. After several years of development, his company's market value had exceeded six billion yuan, and it was racing ahead in an emerging industry, with little conflict of interest with older sectors. Of course, this wasn't just due to the gaming sector's boosted market value; it also included investments in other industries.
Offering some benefits is enough to build up some allies. These allies are just for show; it's not a real life-or-death struggle, so everyone still gives them face. With the help of Qu's mother and Qu Xiaoxiao, getting Qu's father out of the company becomes a natural progression.
What Qu Xiaoxiao didn't know was that if her father refused to admit defeat and held onto the company, refusing to hand it over to her, Zhang Liangjun wouldn't let the Qu family off the hook. There are some things I can give up, but I can't leave to the enemy; once I start, I have to see it through to the end.
There are many reasons for doing so much, though none of them are particularly important. For example, it's a way to get revenge on Qu Lianjie; another reason is that she can't stand Qu's father's behavior; and the final reason is that the Qu family's assets can be transferred to Qu Xiaoxiao's hands. Although Qu Xiaoxiao hasn't yet become like Zhang Liangjun, she feels it's not far off. She's always around Zhang Liangjun, calling him "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang," and her gaze is so sickeningly sweet it's almost saccharine. If there were a progress bar, Zhang Liangjun estimates that Qu Xiaoxiao is already over 85% complete.
Having been tempered by time, Zhang Liangjun has become very composed, even in matters of the heart (women). He is very patient and will not make a move without a good opportunity.
