Chapter 459: Help, why?

Chapter 459: Help, why?
After contacting Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei followed Andy into his home, and the two began to chat about family matters.

After a while, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying came back together, they were extremely excited.

"We're back!" Qiu Yingying shouted carelessly.

When Lin Hao told them that this time the Shanghai tycoon Tan Zongming would be treating them, they both knew that this was a rare opportunity when they thought about being able to meet such a legendary big shot.

Otherwise, Guan Juer would not have ignored the documents she needed to process overtime and hurried back to attend the dinner.

Hearing Qiu Yingying's voice, Fan Shengmei immediately came out of Andy's house:
"Hey! You're finally back. It's getting late. Hurry and change your clothes! Don't keep us waiting!"

After a while, everyone was ready and came to the underground parking lot. Lin Hao drove Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, while Andy drove Fan Shengmei.

Lin Hao drove Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, and they talked about their work and life along the way. They talked about Qiu Yingying being harassed by Manager Bai, and also heard that Guan Juer had endless overtime work.

Especially when I heard that Guan Juer gave up overtime and came to party with them, I felt deeply moved.

He was not like this before, until he was educated by society and the big pie in the sky drawn by his boss became someone else's meal. In the end, his dream was shattered and he had to lie down and let it go.

If I hadn't obtained the golden finger that allows me to travel through the world, I would probably be like Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, working hard for my boss until my death for a job that just barely fills my stomach!
Then he shook his head and said:

"Guan Guan, a lot of the work you're doing now is actually meaningless!"

Guan Juer looked at Lin Hao in confusion and asked:

"What do you mean? I don't understand!"

"What I mean is that your current internship will not have much impact on your future development. Even if you become a full-time employee, you will have to wait at least four or five years before you can get involved in real financial business!"

"Instead of that, why don't you come to my company? I'll find someone to bring you into the industry and do financial work!"

Guan Juer was somewhat tempted, but she didn't know how to make a decision for a moment, because her current internship was arranged by her parents with great difficulty, and it would be a pity to give it up.

But when I thought about what I had found out a few days ago about Lin Hao’s company, I felt very excited. This was a great opportunity that could make me successful overnight!
Seeing Guan Juer was hesitant, Lin Hao said:
"Don't be so anxious to answer me. Think about it carefully when you go back!"

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Lin!" Guan Juer said gratefully.

At this time, Qiu Yingying, who had always wanted to learn more about the basics with Lin Hao, immediately said:
"Brother Lin, what about me? Can I enter your company?"

"Hmm~!" Lin Hao pondered for a while, then said to Qiu Yingying:

"Yingying, are you worried about being harassed by that Manager Bai? If you are worried about this Manager Bai, I have a way to help you solve it!"

"Not entirely! And my job is the type that I can predict the end of. From now on, I won't be able to settle down in Shanghai, even surviving here will be a problem!"

Lin Hao glanced at Qiu Yingying through the rearview mirror. In fact, Qiu Yingying was a pretty normal girl when she was not in love.

It seems that they are going to catch them all in one fell swoop, so Lin Hao said with a smile:

"Okay, then you can come to my company! But you have to get a CPA certificate within one year after you start working, otherwise you may have to consider changing careers!"

"Thank you, Brother Lin!" Qiu Yingying said excitedly.

When they arrived at the Oriental Pearl Tower, Qu Xiaoxiao had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for a while!"

"Didn't I tell you it's 7 o'clock in the evening? Why are you here so early?" Lin Hao said calmly, "Let's go~!"

Dinner at the Oriental Pearl Tower's revolving restaurant is available in two time slots: 5:00 and 7:00. The restaurant takes exactly two hours to make a full rotation, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of Shanghai from all angles.

Qu Xiaoxiao originally wanted to say something, but was left speechless by Lin Hao's words. She could only shut up and just looked at Andy eagerly.

But now is not the time to talk about this, I can only follow everyone upstairs.

After everyone arrived at the revolving restaurant, Tan Zongming and Lin Hao Andy greeted each other and then began to introduce several people on the 22nd floor of Ode to Joy.

Standing at the spacious and bright glass window of the ground body, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the Pujiang River. Looking down from a height of 267 meters, you can really have the heroic feeling of "standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking all the mountains below".

At this time, a middle-aged and extremely smart man was watching Fan Shengmei talking and laughing with two men.

He didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when he saw the appearance of Lin Hao and Tan Zongming, he was immediately shocked, so the man immediately stepped forward and shouted:

"Xiao Fan!"

"Ah!" Fan Shengmei was stunned for a moment, looked at the man, then remembered that he was the vice president of another company, so she said:

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. Long time no see. I hope you come here to dine and enjoy the scenery too!"

Mr. Zhang glanced at Lin Hao and Tan Zongming, then asked with a smile:

"Yes, what a coincidence, it's fate that we meet here!"

Then he looked at Fan Shengmei again and asked, "By the way, where are you working recently?"

Fan Shengmei knew what this guy was thinking at a glance, so she said with a smile:
"I have always been there, nothing has changed!"

Sure enough, this feeling was so good. However, following such a powerful man, she immediately received countless completely different attentions, so Fan Shengmei became more reserved.

Although Fan Shengmei said that nothing had changed, if Lin Hao and Tan Zongming looked over here, they would know that there must be something different.

Then Mr. Zhang said politely:

"Then I won't bother you anymore. We'll contact each other next time, and I'll treat you to a meal then!"

"No problem!" Fan Shengmei then waved her hand and said, "See you next time!"

Then Fan Shengmei came to a semicircular sofa booth and said:
"Excuse me, it was an old friend just now. He never took me seriously before, but this time he probably saw me with you guys and asked me where I'm working now!"

Andy smiled and said:
"This is normal. Most people don't have the ability to independently analyze people. They need to look at a person's appearance, food, clothing, housing and transportation to judge the person's value!"

Tan Zongming also said: "Indeed, looking at a person's external performance and the type of people he often hangs out with is indeed the simplest and easiest way!"

Then Tan Zongming looked at Lin Hao and said:
"Except this guy, of course. He can get along with anyone and there's no sense of disobedience!"

Lin Hao said with a smile: "I'll just take it as a compliment!"

"Hahaha~!" Everyone laughed out loud!
In the following time, everyone enjoyed the food while chatting about the local customs and the social practices here.

······
Two hours later, after dinner, everyone arrived at the main sightseeing deck at 263 meters.

"Wow! So beautiful!" Qiu Yingying said happily while hugging Guan Juer.

At this time, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer looked at the beautiful night view outside, with bright lights in their eyes. They had been in Shanghai for so long, but had never come up to see it. Qu Xiaoxiao and Fan Shengmei were not as excited as them. Fan Shengmei had come twice for social events.

Qu Xiaoxiao's family was not short of money and she had been here several times before, so there was no novelty at all. She was interested in Andy.

However, Andy looked at Tan Zongming and Lin Hao from time to time, but she knew that they were talking about important things, so she did not go over to disturb them.

However, she vaguely heard that Tan Zongming seemed to want to invite Lin Hao to invest in Shengxuan Group. She shook her head and started chatting with Fan Shengmei again.

As for Tan Zongming, he really wanted Lin Hao to invest in Shengxuan Group. Although he was the boss of Shengxuan Group, he was only a major shareholder.

Recently, Tan Zongming discovered that the other shareholders of the company had a tendency to unite, especially after inviting Andy to serve as CFO.

Therefore, he wanted to introduce other shareholders and take the opportunity to increase his holdings in order to stabilize his position.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Tan Zongming asked tentatively.

Lin Hao looked at the beautiful night view of Shanghai, shook his head and said:

"To be honest, I'm not really interested in your Shengxuan Group!"

Tan Zongming smiled and said frankly:

"It's because you're not interested that I want to invite you to join Shengxuan Group!"

"You think I'm your bank!" Lin Hao said jokingly, then he said with a serious face: "You guys always use other people's funds to help you make money and do things for you!"

Seeing that Lin Hao teased him but did not continue to refuse, Tan Zongming immediately knew that there was a chance, so he directly increased the stakes:

"8% of the shares, 20 billion!"

Lin Hao knew that the current market value of Shengxuan Group was approximately 310 billion, but if Lin Hao wanted to earn this 4.8 million, he needed to cooperate with Tan Zongming.

By then, Tan Zongming would release a series of negative news through certain channels, and combined with Lin Hao's short selling, the market value of Shengxuan Group would be reduced to around 250 billion.

Eventually, Lin Hao bought another 8% of the shares, but Lin Hao knew that Tan Zongming must have other knives cutting meat, and he must have made more money than him.

This is why Lin Hao just said that Tan Zongming likes to use other people’s funds to help him make money and do things.

However, Lin Hao will definitely make a small profit, and Lin Hao will naturally not simply make a little profit at the moment. He will definitely use this opportunity to make more profits like Tan Zongming.

So Lin Hao smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation!"

Tan Zongming immediately extended his hand and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!"

"By the way, there will be a high-end financial salon in a few days. You and Andy can come and have a chat!"

Lin Hao and Andy smiled and said, "No problem!"

······
Afterwards, everyone experienced several special projects of the Oriental Pearl Tower together, then said goodbye to each other, and Lin Hao took the girls back to the Ode to Joy community.

But on the way back, Qu Xiaoxiao got into Andy's car and kept saying nice things to Andy.

Fan Shengmei got into Lin Hao's car, and along the way, Fan Shengmei's eyes were shining when she looked at Lin Hao.

After returning to the Ode to Joy community, everyone got on the elevator together. At this time, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to hug Andy and said pitifully:

"Good Andy, I beg you, I just said it in the car, I have no other choice, so I can only beg you again, please help me!"

As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao burst into tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked desperate. Then Qu Xiaoxiao continued:

"I remember that you are an elite who came back from Wall Street, and you are also the CFO of Shengxuan Group. You will definitely have no problem with these most basic financial issues."

"Besides, these basic things are nothing to you, please don't refuse!"

However, after hearing this, Andy covered his forehead and said:

"The problem is that as a CFO, I am quite different from an average finance manager, and I have only just started learning domestic accounting and tax laws, so I may not know the most basic things!"

At this time, Guan Juer saw how pitiful Qu Xiaoxiao was, so she said:

"Qiu Yingying is preparing for the CPA exam, so she should know more about this!"

However, Qiu Yingying waved her hand and said:
"You guys are making it difficult for me. If I had this ability, I would have raised my salary long ago!"

Everyone thought about Qiu Yingying, who was usually carefree, and didn't dare to have too high expectations of her. At this time, Andy looked at Lin Hao.

Then Andy's eyes lit up and he immediately said:

"By the way, Lin Hao, you own a financial company, so you should be the most proficient in this area!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Hao, since they knew that Lin Hao, like Tan Zongming, was in charge of a large-scale financial company, and that Lin Hao founded it from scratch.

A small case like Qu Xiaoxiao's is a simple matter.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Hao said calmly:

"Why?"

"Everything has a price to pay. Qu Xiaoxiao and I have no relatives or friends. Why should I help her?"

Qu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, wondering how she ended up in Lin Hao's hands. She also understood the meaning of Lin Hao's words.

Lin Hao had said something similar before, and that night he made her do it for three whole hours without stopping!
But she only had three days left. Qu Xiaoxiao knew she had to pay the price, so she let go of Andy and burst into tears:

"You don't know! I~, I have a half-brother~, if I don't have any future, my father will give up on me, and then I will be homeless. Now I'm at the point of life and death!"

Andy frowned and asked, "Why would your father give up on you?"

Qu Xiaoxiao glanced around and then said with tears in her eyes:
"My father has another son, born to his ex-wife!"

As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears. Although she was still choking with sobs, her speech became clear again:

"They drive luxury cars and live in big villas, but look at my situation. GI brand agency is my only chance. Otherwise, I will be abandoned by my family. So I beg everyone to help me!"

Not to mention Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer who had just entered the society, even Fan Shengmei, an old hand, saw Qu Xiaoxiao so pitiful and humbled herself to beg for help, and felt that the little disagreements she had with Qu Xiaoxiao before were nothing.

So Fan Shengmei coughed lightly and said to Lin Hao: "How about you help me?"
