Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Little Pink Book was not developed by Lu Youxi’s team of three at all. Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Little Pink Book was not developed by Lu Youxi’s team of three at all. Regardless of the turmoil within her heart, she still tried her best to appear as calm as a mountain on the surface.
“I apologize to you,” began Lu Youxi, sitting up straight and taking a deep sigh, “last ti I wasn’t truthful. I simply wanted to keep a low profile. Even though being an internet café owner isn’t worth ntioning in your eyes, with my superficial thoughts, I just wanted to avoid appearing too ostentatious and becoming a joke.”
Zhou Xueyi: “!!!”
Do you think I believe that?
“After all, you’re only a freshman!” Xiang Shihong spoke again, his tone suggesting that if Zhou Xueyi continued to bla her, it would be improper on his part.
Zhou Xueyi was so frustrated he was practically choking, the irritation festering in his chest with nowhere to go.
“You’re still a child.” Xiang Shihong said affectionately, “At your age, to open an internet café and start a company is already quite remarkable. It’s completely understandable to have so immature ideas occasionally. Besides, what’s wrong with being low-profile?”
“Chairman Zhou might look down on your status as an internet café owner, but your café has a diverse and extensive clientele. If they knew you were both the café owner and the owner of Little Pink Book, it’s hard to guarantee you wouldn’t encounter soone with malicious intent.” Xiang Shihong agreed with Lu Youxi’s approach, “You’re doing the right thing.”
Lu Youxi was praised by Xiang Shihong until she felt guilty.
She was simply hoodwinking Zhou Xueyi.
Zhou Xueyi: “…”
Heh, he suspected that in Xiang Shihong’s eyes, Lu Youxi could do no wrong.
Lu Youxi’s parents probably didn’t have as thick a filter as Xiang Shihong did.
“Vice President Xiang, Manager Shen, Manager Yan, Chairman Zhou, Assistant Cao, let’s go inside first.” Lu Youxi called out everyone’s nas without leaving anyone out, even Cao Zhijie was included in the greeting.
However, Zhou Xueyi was not pleased. Why did Lu Youxi list him second to last?
With his status, he should be first!
But the others seed to have no objection to this order, so they all followed Lu Youxi into the office building.
Zhou Xueyi scoffed repeatedly.
It didn’t matter, soon Lu Youxi would feel the consequences!
The group followed Lu Youxi into the elevator.
The office building was quite professional.
The elevator displayed the nas of the companies on each floor.
Directional signs indicated the destination’s floor.
The sign read that Little Pink Book Technology Co., Ltd. was on the 11th floor.
Upon reaching the 11th floor, the elevator doors opened to reveal two directional signs on the wall for companies.
One of them, belonging to Little Pink Book, indicated a turn to the right.
After turning right and walking a few steps, they saw a set of frosted glass double doors with the large company na and logo of Little Pink Book hanging on the wall beside them.
The logo was indeed designed by a classmate Lu Youxi sought out at Jing University of Fine Arts.
Not only was the design attractive, but it was also half the market price.
The classmate took the task of designing the logo for Little Pink Book as an opportunity to accumulate experience.
If Little Pink Book really made a na for itself, it would certainly enhance the classmate’s resu.
“Let give you a tour of the place first.” Lu Youxi led the visitors inside, “Actually, our office isn’t very big.”
“This here is an open workspace.”
Three computers were arranged in the area.
Yan Lixu asked, “President Lu, have you hired new people?”
“No, not at all,” replied Lu Youxi, puzzled, “why do you ask?”
“I see three computers here.” Yan Lixu naturally assud that Lu Youxi would have her own office.
“Oh, my computer is here as well,” Lu Youxi explained, “Since there are only three of us in the company, there’s no need to separate into different offices. Plus, we’re all bosses, it wouldn’t be appropriate for to have an office to myself.”
“I turned the separate office into a lounge. Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi often work here until midnight, sotis even pulling all-nighters, and nothing can persuade them otherwise,” Lu Youxi led the group to the room that would normally serve as an office. Inside, there were two single beds separated by a bedside table.
The wall the bedside table was against had outlets installed for easy charging for both people.
The set-up was as considerate as a hotel standard room.
“So if they work too late here, and the school dorms are locked, they just sleep here instead of spending money on a hotel,” Lu Youxi explained.
“Here’s the kitchen. We usually keep groceries in the fridge and cook our own lunch. No matter how it tastes, the important part is we save money.”
Xiang Shihong, visibly moved, exclaid, “Starting a business is not easy! At such a young age, you are already capable of enduring hardship. Surely you will achieve great things!”
Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi were both embarrassed by Xiang Shihong’s praise.
“This is a small eting room I’ve arranged,” Lu Youxi led the group to the eting room.
The eting room was small, capable of seating around five to six people.
They could all squeeze in if they tried.
The room’s small size ant the doors and windows were specifically made transparent to avoid a claustrophobic feel.
“Let’s sign the contract here then,” Xiang Shihong decided and walked into the eting room.
Since there were not enough chairs in the eting room, Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi brought in their own from outside.
Xiang Shihong had just taken out the contract, “President Lu, please take a look. If everything’s fine, let’s sign it.”
They had already confird the electronic version of the contract via chat software.
But to be cautious, Xiang Shihong still wanted Lu Youxi to check the physical copy again.
After a quick yet thorough review of the contract, Lu Youxi smiled at Xiang Shihong and said, “No problems here.”
“Alright, let’s sign it,” Xiang Shihong stated.
Ji Deyi, very observantly, handed over pens to the signatories.
Just as Lu Youxi was removing the cap, ready to sign the contract, Zhou Xueyi, who had been silent since entering the elevator, suddenly interrupted with a sense of urgent anxiety as if a major disaster was imminent, shouting, “Wait a mont!”
The abrupt yell startled Lu Youxi and Xiang Shihong.
Lu Youxi’s pen dropped onto the table as she looked at Zhou Xueyi, baffled, “Chairman Zhou, what’s the matter?”
Xiang Shihong, although his pen did not fall, was also startled.
After taking a few deep breaths to recover, he too asked, “Chairman Zhou, what’s going on?”
Why the urgency? If you had sothing to say, why not say it earlier instead of now?
It was hard to believe Zhou Xueyi wasn’t doing this on purpose.
“Vice President Xiang, I suspect that Little Pink Book wasn’t actually developed by the team present, led by Lu Youxi,” Zhou Xueyi said solemnly, his voice cold, “So it might be best to postpone signing the contract. Let’s clear things up first.”
“Although Chengzhou is wealthy, we cannot afford to throw money away, be taken for fools, and be laughed at by our peers,” Zhou Xueyi concluded coldly.
