Chapter 132: Chapter 120: Hold on, Money Matters Can be Discussed_1

After realizing that the Tang Qing standing before her eyes was a living, breathing tycoon, Dou Jiao of course would not let it slip. Before, she only perceived Tang Qing as a rich second generation, with his parents having a net worth of tens of millions, but now she understood this was far from the case. He was freely throwing around tens of millions for his kid’s sake. This couldn’t be possible without being a billionaire.

Although she had connections and background, she didn’t like doing investigations on her own people, let alone Tang Qing, who she liked treating as her little brother.

Dou Jiao jumped up quickly and walked behind Tang Qing. She put her hand on his shoulder, her face beaming as if she’d just found some money. She decided to go all out:

"Dear little brother and boss Tang Qing, I didn’t know you were so rich. Why not invest some in the company, please..." Dou Jiao pinched Tang Qing’s shoulder while speaking in her sweet coquettish voice.

Tang Qing was stunned, quickly standing up to escape from Dou Jiao’s ’attack’. Not only was he shocked by Dou Jiao’s expressions and tone, but also by the pinching of his shoulder. Most importantly...he was ticklish. Especially when it came to shoulder pinching. He always found it strange when people appeared to enjoy shoulder massages on TV. Even in his past life, when Li Kai took him to a professional masseuse, he always felt uncomfortable when strangers touched his body, excluding his head. He always wanted to run away.

Even though Dou Jiao was familiar, he was clearly not used to her physical touch. It made him feel itchy and uncomfortable.

"Sister Jiaojiao, let’s be a little more civilized. Can’t we talk normally? Please don’t touch me. We can certainly discuss the money." Tang Qing spoke with an anxious look on his face. He had no choice; Dou Jiao’s tactics scared him witless.

Dou Jiao stamped her foot and went back to her chair, speaking mournfully. "You ungrateful brat! So many people long for this kind of treatment yet you treat it with disdain. Humph! I’m done with you."

Of course, she just said these words without meaning them. In her heart, she was beaming with joy. She found Tang Qing to be more and more interesting. Ticklish? That’s good. It added another weapon to her ’arsenal’. She would definitely have fun in the future.

Tang Qing obviously wouldn’t play along. He didn’t want to linger on this topic. He sat back down, took a drink of water to calm his nerves, and after composing himself, said, "By the way, Sister Jiaojiao, how much money is left in the company?"

Dou Jiao stopped her pranks when she heard this topic. She rummaged around in her drawer and pulled out a document. "Here is the expenditure report, please have a look. There’s around eighty-thousand left. The office equipment, recruitment, and other expenses consumed quite a lot of money. The property you see outside is just a part of the asset; there are ten more computers yet to be delivered. Particularly, two servers, primary and backup, cost us twenty-one thousand."

Tang Qing took the document and put it aside without flipping through it. He believed that Dou Jiao wouldn’t really care about this amount of money. He also trusted Dou Jiao’s character.

"Well, I will transfer another five-hundred-thousand to the company later. Remember to use it frugally." Tang Qing thought for a bit before saying this.

After buying the stocks last time, he was left with about four-hundred-ten-thousand. He then borrowed another four-hundred-thousand from the system when he couldn’t beat Han Leng, and thus he had a total of eight-hundred-ten-thousand. After deducting other expenses, there would be a little over twenty-thousand left after transferring five-hundred-thousand to the company. But Tang Qing didn’t feel shortage of money. After all, he didn’t have any immediate big expenditures and he could always overdraft few millions from his personal loan limit. That should be more than enough anyway.

Dou Jiao felt extremely joyful since Tang Qing trusted her so much. Everyone likes being trusted, don’t they? She spoke cheerfully: "Hehe, no problem. The initial stage was a bit expensive due to the cost of equipment. There won’t be many expenses in the near future. Unless there’s need for a large scale recruitment, this five-hundred-thousand can last for two-to-three months without any issue."

"Alright, that’s good. We can talk more if the money is not sufficient. Do you have anything else, sister Jiaojiao?" Tang Qing replied and nodded.

Dou Jiao thought for a moment before shaking her head, "There’s not much else to talk about. We’re still not fully staffed, the assistant manager I hired took another leave today, so I guess I’ll introduce him to you next time."

"Okay, then I’ll leave first. Let’s find a day before the New Year to have a gathering, so I can get to know the elites of our company." Tang Qing stood up and said with a smile.

"Alright, my hands-off boss, how about scheduling it for the 31st of this month? I know you’ll be very busy at the beginning of next month, and I don’t want to hassle about changing the date." Dou Jiao said with a laugh.

Tang Qing thought it over, and it did make sense. At the beginning of next month, he would be busy with various end-of-the-year matters such as the school’s holiday break, preparing to go home, and attend Sheng Tang’s annual meeting and gathering. It was better to plan it ahead. So, he said, "Alright, find a nice place for dinner on the night of the 31st."

"No problem," Dou Jiao agreed.

The mention of having a meal made Dou Jiao swallow with anticipation.

She did this just as Tang Qing happened to look her way. He thought to himself: another foodie.

"Alright, you go on with your work. I’ll head out now," Tang Qing said.

"I’ll walk you out."

The employees in the office area now knew that Tang Qing was their big boss. Their actions became more busy than they were earlier. When he noticed this, Tang Qing wore a face full of disbelief, wondering whether he was really that intimidating.

"Hey, beautiful lady, don’t you get tired of constantly opening and closing a web page?"

And you handsome gentleman over there, even though you’re far away, I can see it all, you’ve typed: ’The boss is so small’, and typed it three times.

Well, the boss’s aura is really strong.

Dou Jiao dropped Tang Qing off at the base of the high-rise building, and then went back to work. The task set by Tang Qing was not small, she even thought of working overtime, but dismissed the idea instantly. It’s all right for the employees to work overtime. Why would she work overtime, la la la...? I want to have a great, lazy sleep.

......

Tang Qing took time off for the whole morning. Of course, he cannot go back to school now. Instead, he headed to Sheng Tang Apparel. He planned to check the state of the stocks he bought, idly surf the internet for a while, and head back to his uncle’s home for lunch.

To stave off boredom, Tang Qing bought a lot of snacks and fruits. There’s no helping it. Being a foodie is addictive, you want to keep stuffing your mouth whether you are hungry or not. Tang Qing could control himself, but why? It’s not harmful to the body, it doesn’t make you fat, and it satisfies your taste buds. Why control? Isn’t that dumb?

As he entered the company, passing by the second floor was naturally, as always, bustling with noise. Occasionally, Tang Qing felt puzzled. Aren’t fashion designers supposed to be quietly engaged in designing as shown on TV? How did things end up like this? Is it because the office environment is too crowded?

Well, he doesn’t care about that. He doesn’t want to be bothered about this and that. Besides, it’s good for the employees to be active, as long as they get their work done. He also doesn’t want his company to be lifeless. The most important thing is that Qi Yan, a professional, tolerates this phenomenon. Since there seems to be no problem, why should he bother about it?

Tang Qing hastened his steps up the stairs. If he gets spotted by the girls and they catch him, he may not be left with many of his snacks. These sisters wouldn’t care if he were the boss when they see snacks. It’s his own fault for not establishing his authority before. What can he do now? When faced with these ’bandits’ who steal the boss’s snacks, if he can’t afford to mess with them, can’t he avoid them?

As for being angry with them and giving them a stern face, he really couldn’t bring himself to do it. They didn’t have any malicious intentions. These beauties all have a powerful skill---acting coquettishly, and Tang Qing’s resistance to this skill is almost non-existent.

And so, Tang Qing sneaked into his grand, luxurious office like a thief. Sun Chao did not follow, but went to the training room. His training has been especially hard lately, hoping to defeat Tang Qing one day, but Tang Qing feels no pressure about it. He’d like to have an opponent that can push him to his limit, but clearly, reality is ’cruel’.

Alright, enough dilly-dallying.

Turning on the computer, brewing a cup of buckwheat tea, Tang Qing sat on the comfortable and soft boss’s chair, tore open a bag of potato chips and started eating voraciously.

Hmm... it’s delicious.

In recent days, the market manipulators behind those few stocks have basically completed their capital accumulation, and individual investors who were on the fence were shaken out of the market due to repeated market shocks and rumors. What’s left are rather steadfast investors, of course, there are definitely still many individual investors holding a wait-and-see attitude, and ’mouse warehouses’ like Tang Qing who do not pay attention to the stock market fluctuations.

Seeing that there are no more effective ways to accumulate capital, and the market manipulators have reached their expected targets, they naturally start to reverse the public opinion. The uptrend officially starts, all kinds of experts debunk rumors, even insiders from the companies come out to endorse, one after another, it’s a grand show. Many stock investors who sold earlier are dumbfounded, and some are desperately buying stocks to try and compensate for some losses. Looking at these carefully crafted schemes, Tang Qing feels deeply.

It’s hard for domestic stock investors.

The market manipulators are fooling individual investors like fools, they have the firsthand information, relatively strong capital, and control channels of discourse. They can even buy the right to speak to manufacture fake news. It’s like blatantly cheating on the gambling table. But this is legal cheating, and stock investors with no discernment can only be repeatedly cut by the market manipulators.

Is it wrong for ordinary stock investors to want to get rich by speculating on stocks?

Of course it’s wrong.

Greedy is the original sin. Once you’re on the gambling table, there’s no right or wrong, you’re only left with your luck.

Big fish eat small fish. This is the basic operating rule of the capital market and even the world, there’s no one to blame.

As always, recognize your position. If you’re a small fish, don’t foolishly take risks.

Actually, once you have the right method, is it hard to make money in the stock market?

Hell, no.
