182: Chapter 182 Resign Now!

The morning streets were bustling with traffic, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, sprinkling onto the sidewalk.

Su Ran and Qian Mengsheng stood side by side in the shade by the roadside, quietly waiting for their ride-hailing car.

A breeze blew past, bringing a hint of coolness that cleared Qian Mengsheng's head quite a bit.

Recalling the scene she had just witnessed in the hallway, Qian Mengsheng still felt very shocked.

She turned her head to look at the calm-looking Su Ran beside her and couldn't help but ask.

"Ranran, what's the deal with our beautiful neighbor?"

"How did she suddenly become Brother Qi's woman?"

Seeing the confusion on Qian Mengsheng's face, a faint smile curled at the corners of Su Ran's mouth.

She reached out to tidy her hair, which had been ruffled by the breeze, and spoke in a very casual tone.

"She must have secretly admired Brother Qi for a long time, but because of Brother Qi's situation, they weren't together yet."

"I spent a long time yesterday afternoon persuading her for Brother Qi, and that's why she finally made up her mind to follow him."

Upon hearing this answer, Qian Mengsheng was instantly stunned.

Her large, beautiful eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

"Sister Ran, are you saying that you took the initiative to persuade her to be with Brother Qi?"

Facing Qian Mengsheng's shocked gaze, Su Ran nodded very calmly.

Qian Mengsheng opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

By a woman's instinct, this kind of behavior—actively helping one's own man find other women—was definitely not right!

Wasn't this just purely creating a powerful competitor for herself!

But looking at Su Ran's calm and detached demeanor, Qian Mengsheng felt a deep sense of admiration.

Such a clear-headed and rational attitude was something she could never learn.

Su Ran didn't pay attention to Qian Mengsheng's shock; her gaze turned toward the end of the street.

"Actually, that girl named Tao Xiaoman seems a bit inferior to Lin Yuxi."

"Brother Qi probably doesn't have much interest in her."

Su Ran touched her fair chin, carefully pondering the situation she had just observed.

Hearing this, Qian Mengsheng looked at Su Ran in astonishment.

"Sister Ran, you've already taken the initiative to help Brother Qi find a woman, are you still afraid of adding another one?"

Hearing this retort, Su Ran rolled her eyes directly.

"Mengmeng, this is completely different!"

"They are best friends!"

"If they really team up in the future, that would be a dimensional strike!"

After hearing this analysis, Qian Mengsheng felt a bit bewildered.

"No, that couldn't be, right?"

Looking at Qian Mengsheng's naive appearance, Su Ran shook her head helplessly.

"Mengmeng, you are still too simple; this kind of thing is absolutely possible!"

"Even if the probability is small, one has to be prepared."

Su Ran paused, her gaze fixed earnestly on Qian Mengsheng's eyes.

"If that day really comes, Mengmeng, then you and I will have to join forces!"

Hearing this blunt remark from Su Ran, Qian Mengsheng's cheeks turned bright red instantly.

Many images involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

"Ranran, you, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Qian Mengsheng stomped her foot in shyness, not daring to look into Su Ran's eyes at all.

Seeing Qian Mengsheng's bashful appearance, Su Ran felt her own cheeks heating up as well.

She didn't want that day to come either, but...

Just as she had just said, for this kind of thing, one must be prepared in advance!

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shyness in her heart, and didn't say anything more.

Just at this moment, the ride-hailing cars they had called stopped by the roadside one after another.

They greeted each other and got into their respective cars to head to work.

On the other side of the street, Zhang Qi was taking Lin Yuxi and Tao Xiaoman for a leisurely walk.

They crossed two bustling streets and arrived at a Cantonese dim sum restaurant with very exquisite decor.

This restaurant was very famous in Shenzhen, and the dim sum inside tasted very authentic.

Zhang Qi took the two girls into the store and directly asked for a quiet private room.

The environment in the private room was very elegant, and a faint scent of tea permeated the air.

This tea fragrance made people feel very comfortable, and even their moods became pleasant.

Zhang Qi took the menu and casually ordered a dozen signature snacks and a pot of high-quality Longjing tea.

The waiter took the menu, bowed respectfully, and left, closing the wooden door of the private room behind them.

Soon, the waiter brought the steaming tea and poured a cup for each of them.

Zhang Qi leaned back in the comfortable chair, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip.

The tea was slightly bitter upon entry, but then a sweetness spread throughout his mouth.

He put down the teacup and looked calmly at Lin Yuxi and Tao Xiaoman opposite him.

"Yuxi, Xiaoman, I called you out today mainly because I want to discuss some serious business with you."

Zhang Qi didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

Hearing this, Lin Yuxi and Tao Xiaoman immediately straightened their posture.

Their gazes all converged on Zhang Qi, filled with anticipation.

"I plan to invest capital to open a media company specifically for self-media for Yuxi."

Zhang Qi's voice was not loud, but it sounded like a thunderclap to the two girls' ears.

Lin Yuxi's eyes widened instantly, and her face was full of disbelief.

She had never dreamed that Zhang Qi would spend money to open a media company for her!

Tao Xiaoman, sitting on the side, was also full of shock, and her heartbeat began to accelerate instantly.

But Zhang Qi's next words made Tao Xiaoman completely excited.

"Xiaoman, after this company is established, come over and help Yuxi manage it."

Zhang Qi looked into Tao Xiaoman's eyes and made the arrangement in a very flat tone.

Upon hearing this, Tao Xiaoman was instantly stunned.

"Brother Qi, you, are you saying that you want me to come over to manage the company?"

Tao Xiaoman pointed at her own nose, her voice trembling with excitement.

Although she had guessed that Zhang Qi would definitely give her some benefits today!

But she never expected that the benefits would be this ridiculously huge!

This was letting her instantly transform from a miserable wage slave into management!

The speed of this class leap was countless times faster than taking a rocket!

"Brother Qi, opening a company is too complicated; I can't do it!"

Lin Yuxi recovered from her shock and hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.

She had always been an extremely socially anxious homebody; she even found it difficult to go out and interact with strangers.

Now that Zhang Qi was going to open a company for her, she instinctively felt a sense of panic.

She was afraid that if she didn't do well, she would lose all the money Zhang Qi had invested.

Tao Xiaoman, sitting on the side, felt a bit sour in her heart upon hearing her best friend's refusal.

This was a heaven-sent opportunity she couldn't even dream of!

And yet, her silly best friend was still trying her best to push it away!

Why was the gap between people so big!

But Tao Xiaoman also knew very well that Lin Yuxi was indeed not the type to do management.

Zhang Qi looked at Lin Yuxi's flustered appearance, a gentle smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Yuxi, don't rush to refuse; let me finish what I have to say."

Zhang Qi reached out and gently patted the back of Lin Yuxi's fair hand to soothe her.

"I know your personality is relatively introverted and you are not good at managing a company."

"That's why I specifically wanted Xiaoman to come and help you."

Zhang Qi turned his head to look at Tao Xiaoman, his eyes filled with a bit of trust.

"After the company is established, you just need to focus on content creation."

"As for the daily management and operations of the company, leave it all to Xiaoman."

Zhang Qi explained his arrangements to Lin Yuxi very patiently.

Hearing this detailed explanation, the panic in Lin Yuxi's heart finally subsided a little.

She turned to look at her best friend beside her, her eyes still carrying a bit of hesitation.

"Xiaoman, do you think we can do it?"

Lin Yuxi asked for Tao Xiaoman's opinion in a low voice.

Hearing this, Tao Xiaoman could hardly wait to nod and agree on Lin Yuxi's behalf.

But she forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart and looked seriously into Lin Yuxi's eyes.

"Yuxi, since Brother Qi trusts us so much, we definitely cannot let him down!"

"Don't worry, all the management of the company is on me; you just focus on filming videos!"

Tao Xiaoman patted her chest, making a solemn guarantee to Lin Yuxi.

Seeing her best friend so confident, Lin Yuxi's concerns were finally completely dispelled.

"Alright then, Brother Qi, I'll listen to your arrangements."

Lin Yuxi turned to look at Zhang Qi and nodded obediently, agreeing.

Seeing that Lin Yuxi finally agreed, Zhang Qi smiled with great satisfaction.

And Tao Xiaoman, who was sitting on the side, was already flushed with excitement.

She quickly stood up and bowed very respectfully to Zhang Qi.

"Thank you for your trust, Brother Qi. I will definitely do my best to help Yuxi manage the company!"

Tao Xiaoman's voice was full of gratitude, and her eyes revealed a sense of determination.

Zhang Qi looked at Tao Xiaoman's resolute attitude and nodded slightly.

"Xiaoman, then your current job..."

Before Zhang Qi could finish his sentence, Tao Xiaoman had already made a very decisive decision.

She knew this was her only chance to change her destiny and absolutely could not have any hesitation.

She immediately took out her phone from her bag and dialed the number of her department manager.

Before the call connected, she looked at Zhang Qi with very firm eyes.

"I'm resigning right now!"
