Chapter 544: One stone two birds

Zhou Jingpeng wasn’t an outsider anymore, so Leng Xuan got straight to the point and said, "I plan to open a leisure center, in partnership with someone else. Could you come over and give me a hand?"

"A leisure center?" Zhou Jingpeng was startled, and asked, "How come I’ve never heard you talk about this before?"

Leng Xuan gave a wry smile and explained, "It was only recently decided. Just today, I rented the place, and in the next few days, we’ll start with the renovations and training staff. In about half a month or twenty days, we should be entering the operational phase. What do you think, are you interested in helping out?"

"Of course, I am." Zhou Jingpeng said happily. He was fully recovered and was just worried about changing jobs, but he also had some doubts, "However, what can I do?"

Leng Xuan replied, "At first, you’ll mainly be responsible for security. In the meantime, whenever you’re free, you should learn more about business management. Once you’re up to speed, you could even become a manager or something. My plan is to create a chain, so as the business grows, your responsibilities will increase too. As for your compensation, I’m planning to give you a twenty percent share of the stock. This way, you’ll be a minor shareholder, hehe!"

In the presence of a true friend, Leng Xuan wasn’t particularly concerned about money. He knew Zhou Jingpeng’s family was not well-off, so right off the bat, he offered him a twenty percent share, which he had already discussed with Zhao Xiaoqing.

Zhou Jingpeng’s eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "Really? You want me to be a minor shareholder?"

Leng Xuan couldn’t help but laugh annoyedly and chided, "Cut it out with the formalities, will you? I don’t need that kind of talk with me."

Zhou Jingpeng was indeed a bit overwhelmed and at a loss, but he knew Dragon’s Fang well enough to understand that being too formal with him would actually displease him. So without showing his gratitude outwardly, he chuckled, "Then I’ll accept without reservation. By the way, you mentioned you were partnering with someone else, who’s your partner?"

"A friend, her name is Zhao Xiaoqing." Leng Xuan also wasn’t sure how to define his relationship with Zhao Xiaoqing, and with a sigh in his heart, he said, "I’ll give you her contact information later. You can talk to her. We need to start with the renovations soon, and she’s arranging everything by herself. If you’re free, you could go and lend a hand."

Zhou Jingpeng nodded and smiled, "Sure, now that I’m a minor shareholder, I naturally can’t just sit at home waiting to get paid, haha."

Leng Xuan just smiled and said nothing more, and after finishing the meal, he went straight back to Imperial Scenery Garden. When he arrived at Ling Xuejiu’s villa, it was already around seven o’clock in the evening. The moment he stepped through the door, he heard Li Mengjie’s voice of complaint from the kitchen, "Xue Jiu, could you possibly be any more clumsy? Look at the rice you’re cooking, you didn’t even add water. You can’t make popcorn this way."

"..." In the kitchen, Ling Xuejiu’s face turned red, and she retorted, "You’re not much better, look at the dishes you’ve cooked—either too salty or too bland, just terrible."

"Hmm~!" Li Mengjie chuckled and said, "Xue Jiu, let’s just stop, it’s already so late anyway. The Cold Bodyguard should be back soon, right? Hee hee, let him do it!"

Ling Xuejiu was about to reply when suddenly, Leng Xuan walked in and with a rueful smile, he offered, "I’ll do it."

"The Cold Bodyguard is back?" Li Mengjie immediately brightened up, happily saying, "Speaking of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. Hehe, Cold Bodyguard, your timing is perfect, leave this to you. Xue Jiu, let’s go watch TV."
