Wen Xinya called Qiu Yifan, briefly told him her idea, and they agreed to et at Lanxin Investnt Corporation. After hanging up, Wen Xinya texted Yan Shaoqing and told him to co along.
The chauffeur, Tao, picked her up at 5 P.M. in the afternoon. Wen Xinya told Tao to send her to the Pearl Mall, intending to head straight to Lanxin Investnt Corporation.
However, she bumped into Li ngjie at the entrance of Pearl Mall. She was wearing a light purple dress, looking less like a professional lady and more casual.
“Miss Wen, what a coincidence to actually bump into you here.” Seeing Wen Xinya, Li ngjie ca up to greet her.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Manager Li, you love to joke. Since you’re working here, it seems quite normal that we et each other here!”
Li ngjie’s smile faded. “Today’s my last day of work. In the future, I won’t be working here.”
Wen Xinya was shocked but didn’t invade her privacy, only smiling mildly. “In this case, it’s indeed a coincidence! Miss Li, what do you intend to do in the future? Will you continue in the luxury brand sales managent line?”
Li ngjie had always felt that Wen Xinya was an apathetic person. Also, although she and Wen Xinya knew each other, they were not on close terms. Thus, she did not expect her to be concerned about her in this way. “Intending to rest, for the ti being. We’ll see what the future brings!”
Wen Xinya’s smile deepened. “Miss Li, do you have ti for a cup of coffee with ?”
She was preparing to open a high-end Traditional Chinese dicine skincare products store. Although she had great plans, she was not at all familiar in this area, and Li ngjie had always been in the luxury brand sales line. Having been in this line for so many years, she naturally had experience. At this mont, she felt like she was dozing off and suddenly t with a pillow.
Li ngjie was stunned. She examined Wen Xinya closely—she had a deep, aningful smile which felt oddly sincere. She suddenly realized that she couldn’t read this fifteen-year-old young girl. “Since Miss Wen has invited so enthusiastically, I’ll oblige.”
The two of them went to a cafe nearby. Since Wen Xinya was the host, she asked Li ngjie politely, “What will Miss Li like to have?”
Li ngjie smiled and said, “I’ll have a cup of black coffee!”
Feeling surprised, Wen Xinya ordered a cup of black coffee and a cup of milk tea—caffeine was considered a sensitive thing for her, and she did not wish to touch it again in this lifeti.
Seeing the look of surprise on her, Li ngjie said with a smile, “Black coffee is similar to tea, only those who know it understands its beauty. Black coffee incorporates the five characteristic flavors of coffee—aroma, sweetness, purity, sourness, and bitterness. It’s original and rugged, intense and addictive, its teasing distance makes its black appearance even more mysterious.”
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I never drink coffee!”
Li ngjie sighed and said, “It’s a good habit!”
Very soon, the coffee and milk were served. Li ngjie held the coffee in her hands and savored it carefully. Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Miss Li must be curious about my sudden invitation!”
Li ngjie nodded. “Indeed. Because Miss Wen doesn’t look like such a friendly person.”
Wen Xinya set her milk tea down and said seriously, “I’ll be upfront about it—actually, I’m planning to open a high-end Traditional Chinese dicine skincare store, and wish to engage you as its manager. Not sure of your thoughts about it?”
Li ngjie was stunned and felt quite astonished—did kids these days mature so early, wanting to open a store and dabble in business at such a young age? “Miss Wen must be kidding. Your Wen Family is already a leader in this field, and you actually still want to open such a store.”
Wen Xinya looked at her and said, “I’m serious—totally not joking. I’ve also already given it thorough thoughts. The said store will be under my na, completely unrelated to the Wen Corporation. And I also wish to keep it from the Wen Corporation.”
Seeing the seriousness in this young girl’s eyes, Li ngjie’s attitude beca more formal. “Miss Wen, I don’t wish to be a wet blanket. It’s easy for you to open a store, but you’re talking about Traditional Chinese dicine skincare, making it seem rather far-fetched.”
Wen Xinya listened intently without saying a word.
Li ngjie continued, “I think you should roughly know that Traditional Chinese dicine skincare has a rather complete system in the ancient Country Z, with its effects recognized by many renowned beauty care experts in the Traditional Chinese dicine arena—it’s absolutely a hugely lucrative area that many wishes to set foot in. Every year, many people and enterprises in Country Z invest alarming amounts of capital into researching Traditional Chinese dicine skincare, yet its progress is still not mature.”
Wen Xinya nodded.
Li ngjie said, “A few years ago, a listed company, FP Skincare, marketing itself as Traditional Chinese dicine skincare, had attracted lots of attention when it launched in the market. However, within a year, this brand ended up as a third-class skincare brand, of which one can buy a whole set with a hundred odd yuan.”
Wen Xinya said, “What if I say that I have a very professional Traditional Chinese dicine physician researching on Traditional Chinese dicine skincare with rather mature research formulas, of which I’ve experienced their effects personally, and can absolutely be crowned as the one and only most perfect skincare products in the market—will Miss Li consider helping ?”
Li ngjie widened her eyes in disbelief. “How’s it possible!”
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “You’ve probably heard of the renowned personality in the Traditional Chinese dicine realm, Du Shinan. His granddaughter, Du Ruo, has rather mature research outcos in Traditional Chinese dicine skincare. All the formulas have passed Master Du’s stringent criteria, and definitely won’t lead to any issues.”
Only at this mont did Li ngjie really believe that this young girl had really given it thorough thoughts when she talked about opening a store. “So Miss Wen has already prepared so thoroughly.”
She definitely didn’t need to suspect that Wen Xinya was lying, because it was a known fact in the circle that Old Mr. Mo and Du Shinan had been close for many years. Furthermore, even if a company was really set up, she would be but a manager at most—the risks and responsibilities did not fall on her.
She had indeed underestimated Wen Xinya by treating her like a fifteen-year-old young girl. Actually, thinking back, she realized that during the discussion just now, this young girl had always presented a steady, confident, and logical side in front of her.
At this instance, she almost felt like she was facing a grown adult, yet totally without feelings of strangeness, as if her maturity was expected.
Wen Xinya looked at her sincerely. “I have both the formulas and capital—currently, I’m all set, just waiting for the opportunity. I’m not as well-honed in this area as Miss Li, and so wish for your investnt to help with the managent of the storefront.”
“Investnt?” Li ngjie was stunned. She did not expect this girl to possess such boldness to actually be willing to split the company’s shares.
“Yes, I’m willing to give up 10% of the company’s shares for your investnt instead of asking you to work for .” When it ca to people with real capabilities, 10% of the company’s shares could retain the talent in the long run—it was the best model when considering long-term interests.
Li ngjie was convinced. She took in a deep breath and said, “I don’t have a reason to disagree! To grassroots like us, to possess 10% shares of a company is already the biggest temptation!”
Because from then on, she would shake off the identity of a worker and truly work for her own interests!
