Chapter 270 - 270 117 So Scared I Want to Go Home

270: Chapter 117: So Scared, I Want to Go Home 270: Chapter 117: So Scared, I Want to Go Home “Ah Zhao, do you have anything going on this afternoon?”

Atop the little Audi, Cheng Daqi suddenly thought, with the company established, why not start today rather than pick another day and help Zhao Hongjin with her filming?

He was too busy recently, and through the process of helping Zhao Hongjin with her filming, he could also sort out the new company’s framework.

Two birds with one stone!

“I have one class this afternoon, why?”

The girl with peach blossom eyes asked, focused on driving.

You’re not seriously thinking of borrowing my car, are you?

It’s not that it’s impossible, but at least you could wait for a couple of days, so I can arrange another vehicle for myself, right?

“Skip it, we’re starting the shoot this afternoon, I’ve already recruited the people in the morning.”

Cheng Daqi’s words were casual, but Zhao Hongjin rolled her eyes at him.

She didn’t care about the car now.

You talk about skipping class as if PPD is run by your family!

“That doesn’t seem right, is it really that urgent?”

“Time is money, my friend, and you need to work hard to help me make it,”

Cheng Daqi shamelessly replied.

However, the shameless answer yielded an excellent result.

The peach blossom-eyed girl’s mouth was the only thing still tough on her, but she had already agreed to Cheng Daqi’s request.

“Although I understand you, and I’m willing to help you, you’re really a bit aggravating, Daqi,”

Zhao Hongjin laughed in spite of her irritation at Cheng Daqi’s forthrightness, but she still changed the car’s destination to the address Cheng Daqi had provided.

The peach blossom-eyed girl was different from Temir, Lisa, Gru, and the others.

She and Cheng Daqi had come together as friends in such a short period of time because they shared a common dream.

Cheng Daqi’s dream needed money as well as her help, so she was willing to sacrifice her principles for Cheng Daqi and help him skip class without hesitation.

Even though what Cheng Daqi said was outrageous, Zhao Hongjin understood his meaning.

The domestic short video industry was in its wild growth phase, and every minute, every second, was precious.

Why wasn’t she content with running three accounts simultaneously and still pushed the limits to start a fourth?

It was to speed up and help Cheng Daqi more!

That night, she cried for her ignorance and powerlessness, and also for Cheng Daqi’s resilience, knowing well the pressure this man was under, she was willing to give her all within her capabilities to help him!

Moreover, without Cheng Daqi’s guidance, Zhao Hongjin wouldn’t have realized that she could achieve something in the field of short videos.

Whether it was for her dream or to realize her own value, Zhao Hongjin was walking the same path as Cheng Daqi.

“Uh, the work arrangements for this afternoon…..”

Lisa looked at the MAS employees before her, feeling like exploding inside, but maintaining a calm facade.

The big boss ran off, and now it fell to Lisa to support the MAS situation.

But these employees had been sitting in the office for half an hour already.

The employees, of course, were more than willing to sit there until the end of the day—it’s a beautiful thing, legally slacking off while getting paid.

However, these new employees were still idealistic about their future development in the new company.

Therefore, a few sly new hires pestered Lisa about the work arrangements.

Other employees who were lazing at their seats cursed these ‘traitor workers’ under their breath, but when Lisa looked towards them, they also put on an act as if they couldn’t wait to get to work.

(I know ‘traitor worker’ doesn’t mean this, it’s a jest here, please understand)

But how on earth would a golden-haired white girl know anything about short videos!

The employees looked at her with anticipation, but she was genuinely flustered.

Chan, where the hell have you gone, you don’t even reply to my messages!

At the moment, the golden-haired white girl was like a bride whose husband ran away right after the wedding, alone and filled with complaints.

“Let’s clean the office first, a new company, a new beginning, let’s start by cleaning up the office thoroughly…”

Lisa was desperate and came up with a dumb but situation-handling idea.

As a shareholder of the company, all she wanted now was for the employees to clean slowly, just to get through the afternoon for starters.

The capitalist hoping from the bottom of their heart for workers to drag their feet—what a reversal of the natural order.

A weasel paying respect to a chicken, the situation was so bizarre that Marx and Lenin might question reality and want to crawl out of their graves to take a look at the world.

Watching the employees start cleaning with weird expressions, Lisa embarrassingly wanted to jump out of the eighth-floor window—she didn’t dare to think about how ‘shitty’ she looked in her employees’ eyes.

Chan, did you run off and die somewhere with the investors?

Even as kind-hearted as the golden-haired white girl was, she was now mentally drawing circles around Cheng Daqi.

“Lisa, I see the employees are spontaneously cleaning, their sense of ownership is really commendable,”

Speak of the devil and he shall appear, just as Lisa cursed Cheng Daqi for the third time, the owner of MAS returned.

“Chan, OC has other matters to deal with, I’m off!”

With a cold farewell that sounded like a declaration of war, Lisa made as if to leave, not wanting to exchange another word with this jerk.

Your company, your employees, your career—yet it’s me who has to do all the work.

I’m the one arranging the hiring; I’m calling people in to install the office equipment; even MAS’s coffee machine, I got it for you from OC’s warehouse.

Lisa could understand the cooperative relationship between OC and Cheng Daqi, and she was willing to help, but Cheng Daqi had run off too quickly that morning.

She was also just a 24-year-old girl; how could she deal with a company she didn’t understand at all.
