Chapter 167: Big Brother, This Can Work
Xiao Renjian walked out of that McDonald’s shop when night had already fallen deeply. He rubbed his neck, but the stiffness didn’t reduce at all.
Suddenly, a person’s palm slapped on his shoulder, and at the same time, a familiar voice rang out: “Jerk, how does the first day of working feel?”
Xiao Renjian turned around: “You wouldn’t know if you haven’t done it…”
“Who says I haven’t done it?” Wang Heng immediately interrupted, “Don’t forget, last summer vacation when you were having fun, I was doing a part-time job at the milk tea shop.”
Xiao Renjian: “What you did at the milk tea shop was just making milk tea, and there were girls with you. But do you know what I did today? Mopping the floor, cleaning up trash, smelling the fried chicken, and I couldn’t even sneak a bite!”
“You think the person in charge of fried chicken can sneak eats?” Wang Heng pressed this guy’s shoulder, “Wait, last time you told me you wanted to do a part-time job at McDonald’s, you weren’t thinking of sneaking eats, were you?”
Xiao Renjian: “…Sneaking eats isn’t the point, the point is earning money.”
Wang Heng: “Exactly, since the point is earning money, then as long as you earn the money, that’s it, right?”
“But this money is really hard to earn,” Xiao Renjian said with a mournful face, “Spending money is easy, earning it is too tiring.”
Wang Heng looked at his buddy like this and couldn’t help but feel a bit hesitant.
This morning, the first thing he did after getting up was take his own money along with Qin Meng’s and Lu Qi’s into the stock market, going all in to buy the stock that the hamster prompted. A full one million five hundred thousand cash, bought at an average price of 8.1 yuan, that’s one hundred eighty-five thousand shares. As long as some of the future profits could be shared with Xiao Renjian, it would far exceed his salary at McDonald’s.
But is this okay?
Directly giving money to his buddy, is it helping him or harming him?
But on the other hand, if he earns more in the future and still doesn’t pull him up, as a friend, that wouldn’t make sense… So, when and in what way to pull him up would be more appropriate?
Suddenly, Xiao Renjian’s voice interrupted his wandering thoughts: “What are you thinking about?”
Wang Heng asked: “Do you have any planning for the future?”
Xiao Renjian was stunned: “Did you take the wrong medicine?”
Wang Heng: “No, I’m just thinking, we’re still students now, earning money from part-time jobs is definitely hard. So what about after graduation?”
Xiao Renjian: “After graduation, just find work, what else? Thinking about this in the first year of university is too worrying ahead of time, right?”
Wang Heng shook his head: “Considering it early is always better than late. By the way, what major are you studying?”
Xiao Renjian: “Biotechnology.”
Wang Heng: “…So it’s better to start considering it early.”
Hearing his tone, Xiao Renjian also sensed something was off and quickly asked: “What’s up? Is there a problem with the biotechnology major? Is it a scam?”
Wang Heng: “It’s not about whether it’s a scam or not… Anyway, you can check the employment rates over the years.”
Xiao Renjian: “I’ve checked, the school shows an employment rate close to one hundred percent!”
Wang Heng looked at his young buddy who hadn’t yet experienced the beatings of society and sighed: “The school’s statistics, of course, are however high they can make them. Let me tell you, when the school counts employment rates, they include grad school exam students. Then for those who go out to find jobs, as long as you find a position, no matter what kind of position, they’ll count you in. As for the specific treatment, salary, whether there’s five social insurances and one housing fund, that’s hard to say.”
Xiao Renjian listened in a daze: “So the employment situation is actually very severe?”
“What else did you think?” Wang Heng asked back, “Don’t you usually watch social news?”
Xiao Renjian held his head and thought: “But if I switch majors now… Switching majors is very hard!”
Wang Heng: “I’m not telling you to switch majors now, just suggesting you look around and understand more, think it through ahead of time, that’s all. However, if you can’t find work in the future, you can come find me.”
Xiao Renjian sneered: “Find you? If I can’t find work, what can you do? Introduce me to a rich woman?”
Wang Heng was about to say something more, but at that moment, his mobile phone ringtone rang.
He took out his mobile phone and saw it was a call from Lu Qi.
“Hey, Sister Lu…”
Just as he picked up and greeted, the Xiao Renjian beside him couldn’t help asking: “Sister Lu? The pretty older sister we had dinner with that evening, right? Hey, hey, it’s her calling you, right?”
Wang Heng pushed this guy away and slightly lowered the mobile phone volume to ensure he couldn’t hear Lu Qi’s voice.
At the same time, the older sister type voice on the phone also sounded faintly excited: “You guessed it right again, that stock really hit limit up!”
Wang Heng: “Did it stop a few hours ago?”
Lu Qi: “So I wanted to find you a few hours ago, but you didn’t pick up the phone then.”
“Is that so…”
Wang Heng recalled, at that time, he was probably with Han Yixuan and habitually put his mobile phone on silent?
Fortunately, Lu Qi didn’t fuss over that detail and continued: “I just calculated, according to what you said about continuous limit ups, that is, up 10% every day, by next month’s today, it will already be more than three times. And that’s still because of the Spring Festival holiday when the stock market stops trading, otherwise it would rise even more!”
Wang Heng: “Exactly, your calculation is of course no problem.”
Lu Qi asked somewhat unwillingly: “Then besides this stock, have you found any others? I asked the bank, the mortgage loan can be approved for me within two months.”
Wang Heng: “Sister Lu, be careful and cautious, this risk is very big, I basically won’t touch ordinary stocks. To be honest, retail investors are almost all chives, in the long run, not many people make money. So this opportunity is only this once.”
Lu Qi sighed: “I know the risk is big, so I’ve never done stock trading… Alright, let’s talk about something else. I booked a plane ticket for tomorrow, do you want to come see me off?”
Wang Heng: “To the airport?”
Lu Qi: “The airport is too far from here, if you see me off to the station, that would be great.”
Wang Heng agreed: “Alright, I’ll go see you off tomorrow.”
Lu Qi softly “mm”ed, but immediately after, she said: “Just you alone, no need to bring your girlfriend.”
Wang Heng: “…Uh, okay.”
After satisfactorily saying “goodbye,” Lu Qi hung up the phone.
Wang Heng put away his mobile phone and looked at his buddy not far away who was wiggling his thick eyebrows.
Xiao Renjian: “Big Brother, let’s discuss something…”
Wang Heng: “Just say it straight!”
Xiao Renjian: “If I can’t find work in the future, can you help me introduce a rich woman? Doesn’t have to be as young and pretty as Sister Lu, a bit more mature is fine too…”
Wang Heng sighed: “I can’t help you introduce a rich woman, because my relationship with Sister Lu is not like what you imagine. I’m her consultant, consultant, you get it? The kind that works with the mind.”
Xiao Renjian rubbed his hands, his face full of sleaziness: “Of course it uses the mind, but besides the mind working, doesn’t the kidney need to work too?”
Wang Heng: “…”
Xiao Renjian patted his chest hard: “Anyway, I’m in good health, I can take it. Big Brother, in the future if there’s such an opportunity, pull your little brother up! I think this line of work is good!”
