Chapter 564: Chapter 283 (Classic Refreshing Chapter!) Zhou Shumei Behind the Hollowed-Out Eye Mask

On the way to the outing,

Gao Jun hardly spoke a word.

Most of the conversation was among Zhou Shumei, Lin Xinxuan, and the others.

Zhou Shumei actually felt a bit awkward.

She didn’t know what to say, but considering her status as an elder, she naturally needed to help create a cheerful atmosphere; otherwise, the situation would be too embarrassing.

So she looked at Li Ziyang and Lin Xinxuan and asked, "Ziyan, Xinxuan, have you already left your family’s company?"

Lin Xinxuan answered, "Yes, Shumei, Ziyan and I have both left my dad’s company."

Zhou Shumei was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Why did you leave? Logically, if you had stayed there, with Beishan going in, you would have always had control of the company."

Lin Xinxuan calmly replied, "I know, but when I found out that my dad threatened you to sign that agreement, I felt like I could no longer return to the Lin Family."

Then, turning to Li Ziyang with a hint of guilt, she said, "The only thing is, I feel really sorry for Ziyan. She didn’t need to leave the Lin Family, but she still chose to come out with me."

Li Ziyang, however, just smiled and explained, "Xinxuan, don’t be so silly. I really don’t mind at all. If you don’t want to stay at the Lin Family or your dad’s company, what’s the point for me to stay on? Besides..."

After she finished, she glanced toward the driver’s seat, teasingly adding, "Someone has been eagerly waiting for us to come help out at his company."

When Li Ziyang cued him, Gao Jun laughed heartily, "Ah, mainly because ours is a new company, you see, we’re short of hands, and naturally, we need some people who can take charge."

That’s when Lin Xinxuan asked him, "I’ve told you, Ziyan’s and my salaries are quite high, you should be prepared."

"No problem," Gao Jun smiled, "Even if it costs me my entire fortune, I have to poach you two over."

"Smooth talker," Li Ziyang teased with a laugh.

But Zhou Shumei defended Gao Jun, "Actually, what Gao Jun is saying isn’t wrong. You two are very capable, and he might really be willing to spend his entire fortune to bring you two over."

Lin Xinxuan, however, teased back, "How could that be possible? In his heart, we’re nothing but a trivial matter, how could he be willing to spend his entire fortune to bring us over?"

Just then, they arrived at a traffic light.

The car came to a stop.

Gao Jun calmly took out two cards from his wallet and handed them to Lin Xinxuan and Li Ziyang, saying, "Each of these cards has a million on it, this is a gesture of goodwill to hire you two. I hope you can appreciate this little token from me."

Lin Xinxuan and Li Ziyang were surprised when they saw the two cards he handed over.

Thinking Gao Jun was pretending, Lin Xinxuan tested him, "Then I’ll really take it, and you can’t regret it later. I won’t be polite with you."

"The best thing is you not being polite with me," Gao Jun said with a smile.

Seeing that Gao Jun wasn’t joking, Li Ziyang eventually declined, "Okay, we’re not coming to you for the money. If it was about the money, we might as well have stayed at the Lin Family. Don’t think of us as so mercenary."

Zhou Shumei also tried to dissuade them, "Exactly, these two young ladies have never been much for money."

But Gao Jun was insistent, "No, I have to make an effort, otherwise it would seem I am lacking sincerity. So today, you must accept these two bank cards."

"Alright, since you put it that way, I’ll accept it," Lin Xinxuan wasn’t shy, knowing fully well about Gao Jun’s financial strength.

If he was willing to give, then she was daring enough to accept. If anything, she could just find ways to pay it back in the future.

So she took the two cards, and promptly stuffed one of the bank cards into Li Ziyang’s hand.

Li Ziyang did not expect Lin Xinxuan to really accept the two bank cards.

She received a message from Lin Xinxuan: [What’s to fear? This is called sunk cost. If we let him get us easily, it would make us look cheap.]

Li Ziyang looked at the WeChat message on her phone and finally agreed.

Zhou Shumei felt somewhat relieved when she saw the two accepting the bank cards.

After all, with these two capable and beautiful women helping Gao Jun, his business was sure to thrive.

The car soon stopped.

Three women got out of the car.

Lin Xinxuan and Li Ziyang went to the park ticket office to buy tickets.

At this moment, Gao Jun pulled Zhou Shumei aside.

Zhou Shumei was surprised and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Gao Jun took another bank card out of his pocket, "There’s also a million in here, which should cover your leisure for the next half year. If it’s not enough, remember to tell me."

Zhou Shumei, shocked to see him produce another bank card, quickly demurred, "What are you doing? I don’t want your money; I have my own. You should give this money to Xinxuan and Ziyan."

Gao Jun, however, explained, "I will give theirs, but I will also give yours. Don’t overthink it, if I ever run short of money, I’ll shamelessly come to you."

Zhou Shumei knew Gao Jun was doing this to ensure that she would not feel neglected.

After all, inequality has always been a greater concern than poverty.

If Lin Xinxuan and Li Ziyang were to get bank card rewards and she didn’t, Gao Jun would worry that she might feel left out.

So, to put Gao Jun’s mind at ease,

She too finally accepted the bank card, adding, "Then, I’ll help you hold onto this money for now. When you need it, let me know, and I’ll withdraw it for you."
