Why would anyone bow to him?
There was no need to say more once she understood this.
Su Tang was a smart person who had already prepared herself mentally; the path to the peak was destined to be filled with thorns.
Chen Xiao sat up straight, his expression relaxing.
"Good, welcome to the team."
"One-month probation period, base salary of 10,000."
Su Tang immediately stood up and bowed excitedly.
To be able to follow such a prodigy was an opportunity many sought but could not obtain.
"Thank you, Boss."
Chen Xiao quickly waved his hand, "Quickly, sit down, sit down. We need to keep a low profile at Jinning University."
"Oh, alright."
Su Tang quickly sat down, thinking to herself that she was too excited.
Just by looking at Chen Xiao's attire, she knew he didn't want to be too high-profile at Jinning University.
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I need a professional team."
Su Tang took out a notebook and pen, "Okay, the basic setup includes traders, fund managers, analysts..."
Chen Xiao said, "Our team only needs traders."
Su Tang was startled, but quickly understood.
The Boss probably had his own channels for obtaining information, and no one was more suitable to be the fund manager than himself.
So, he only needed some traders to do the work.
"Alright, Boss, what are your requirements?"
Chen Xiao held up two fingers, "There are two: first, strong ability. Second, honesty."
Su Tang solemnly wrote them down, "Alright, Boss, I've noted them."
"Hmm, and then I also need you to find an office space. The environment needs to be good, and it needs to be close to Jinning University," Chen Xiao said.
"Alright."
"Hmm, that's all for now. I'll tell you if I think of anything else. Go and get it done," Chen Xiao said.
"Alright, Boss, then I'll be going."
"Hmm."
Su Tang packed her things and then walked out of the cafeteria with swift efficiency.
Chen Xiao picked up the bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup in front of him, which had very few egg drops, and took a sip.
A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
He really liked Su Tang's work style, her mindset, and her high emotional intelligence.
For example, when the two women met at the Hotel last time, Su Tang showed no emotional fluctuations or desire to probe throughout the entire encounter.
And like this time, she didn't even mention how her current job would be arranged, or compensation, salary, insurance, etc.
Because she didn't want to add trouble to the Boss; she knew her job was to solve problems for the Boss.
"It's so refreshing to have someone handle things!" Chen Xiao exclaimed.
Without Su Tang, he would have to handle all these matters himself, and just thinking about it gave him a headache.
He wasn't increasing Su Tang's salary threefold just to show off.
He was simply giving her compensation commensurate with her value.
Not only Su Tang, his subordinate in a work relationship,
but also his senior, Sun Ying. Although he and Sun Ying were each getting what they needed, Chen Xiao still bought her a phone, which he considered to be of equivalent value.
As for borrowing money, that was a separate matter and he was prepared for it.
The same applied to others.
Including Chen Xiao's buddies Liu Xin, Shen Jiancheng, and even Xiao Ji; every single one of them was treated this way.
Of course, Xiao Ji only received a few packs of cigarettes because he merely satisfied Chen Xiao's desire for control...
...
In a corner of Cafeteria 3, Tan Cheng pondered with a furrowed brow.
She had just witnessed Su Tang standing up and bowing, and she was greatly shocked.
How could someone like Chen Xiao have someone bowing to him?
And it was a great beauty at that.
Did he have some hidden secret?
Thinking of this, she quietly stood up and then nonchalantly walked towards Chen Xiao, hoping for a chance encounter and to subtly probe him.
But who would have thought that before she even got close, Chen Xiao had already stood up and was walking towards the classroom.
Tan Cheng was stunned and couldn't help but quicken her pace.
Meanwhile, the message Wu Ling sent on Chen Xiao's phone was:
[Hurry! The professional course teacher is furious!]
So he ran all the way.
Tan Cheng chased him to the lake, panting.
She had intended for a casual encounter, but it almost turned into a marathon...
Watching Chen Xiao's disappearing back, Tan Cheng stomped her foot in annoyance and turned to walk back.
...
Chen Xiao had no idea Tan Cheng was chasing him, but even if he had, he wouldn't have stopped.
After all, the professional course teacher's anger was far more important than Tan Cheng.
He rushed and rushed, finally arriving at the classroom before his name was called.
The teacher glared at him but said nothing else.
Chen Xiao diligently attended class, and only after the danger had passed did he dare to take out his phone.
He searched for positive news about Zhixin Optoelectronics, but there was nothing.
The stock price remained at the daily limit down, with hundreds of thousands of locked sell orders pressing down firmly.
Chen Xiao sighed, "Can't you be a bit more forceful today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, as if a spell had been broken, the hundred thousand locked sell orders instantly vanished.
Chen Xiao rubbed his eyes hard.
"Holy crap!"
He didn't continue to look at the trend but searched for positive news about Zhixin Optoelectronics again.
This time, he finally saw it: Fruit Company was including Zhixin Optoelectronics in its list of component suppliers.
"Holy crap! I'm gonna be rich!"
Becoming a supplier for Fruit Phone Technology Company was definitely a sign of getting rich.
Chen Xiao looked at the trend chart again, and it was a straight upward climb; the people who had been dumping shares were also gone.
The stock price instantly went from limit down to limit up.
"I'm rich!"
"If this continues, I'll probably go from 1 million to 10 million much faster than from 0 to 1 million!"
Indeed, the more money you have, the faster you make it.
Crossing from millions to tens of millions, Chen Xiao was still very excited.
He was still far from the level where money was just a number; every increase in his assets brought him immense satisfaction.
"What are you messing with? Pay attention in class!" Teacher Wang walked over from the side.
Chen Xiao smiled, "Class is over, Teacher Wang. Let's go, let's have a cigarette."
Teacher Wang was very strict in class, but once class was over, he treated his students like buddies.
Looking at his watch, Wang Hua said, "Let's go to the entrance of the Art Hall and have a cup of coffee too."
As he said this, several thick-skinned boys immediately followed him.
They often mooched coffee from Teacher Wang.
Chen Xiao first ran to the coffee shop entrance and bought a pack of 1916 cigarettes.
This was the brand Teacher Wang often smoked.
The coffee shop at the entrance of the Art Hall only had a few high-end cigarette brands, the cheapest being Huazi.
Jinning University's School of Art was quite famous nationwide, and some celebrity big names often came to exchange and study.
The teachers in the school were also very capable.
As for how capable, Chen Xiao didn't know, but he felt he was more capable than them...
Outside the Art Hall, there was a platform with some tables and chairs. A few rascals happily got their hands on Teacher Wang's 1916 cigarettes and were smoking contentedly.
Teacher Wang, who had been involved in art his whole life, had a huge smoking addiction.
Chen Xiao stepped forward and grabbed the 1916 cigarettes from the teacher's hand, then put a new pack in his pocket.
"Teacher Wang, I have a small smoking addiction, I'll smoke this. You smoke mine, otherwise, you won't have enough today."
If it were anything else, Wang Hua would definitely refuse, but when it came to cigarettes, he couldn't be without them for a moment.
Wang Hua was about to take out money, but Chen Xiao quickly covered his pocket.
"Brother Wang, are you looking down on me?"
"Get lost!"
"Aye, alright."
Amidst the laughter and chatter, Chen Xiao settled the score for almost being late today and further deepened his emotional foundation with Teacher Wang, preparing for future skipped classes.
