“Welcome on board.”
Hearing He Xue accepting his offer, Fang Qiu immediately rose to his feet, reached out his hand to her and said while shaking hands, “Today’s coffee is on me.”
He Xue said with a smile, “Well, if you failed to poach me, you won’t even be willing to buy me coffee, right?”
“Haha.” Fang Qiu laughed out loud.
He Xue stood up and said, “If you’re not busy, you can wait for me. I’ll go upstairs and hand in my resignation.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Fang Qiu nodded and made a gesture of “please”.
He Xue rose from the table, strode forward confidently with her head held high and headed for the company.
In the beginning, she was still deeply attached to Network. As Fang Qiu had said, the company no longer had any development prospects. In the best-case scenario, it would maintain its current business, but it was almost impossible for it to progress any further.
After all, in this era, it was not easy to operate an Internet company like what she used to do.
In fact, a year ago, He Xue had already planned to resign. But she didn’t want to be the butt of a joke for others. She was worried that she would not be able to find a company that would suit her after she left Network.
Compared with the current comfort, what she longed for was a better future.
After all, her family background would not allow her to stay in an Internet company and die a slow death.
Now, all the problems had been solved.
She got a suitable position in a better company with a more promising prospect. Fang Qiu could even cure her disease.
What mattered most was that she could still get 5% of the company’s shares. That was to say, one-twentieth of the company belonged to her, which meant that she was no longer working for others, but for herself. No matter how great the company became, it was closely related to her.
That was the actual job she needed.
In only an hour, He Xue wrote a resignation letter and left without waiting to get her salary, while the boss and the employees of Network kept trying to persuade her to stay.
It wasn’t that she was heartless. She was afraid that she would be reluctant to part with them if she continued to stay.
She went back to the coffee shop.
“Gorgeous, can you come with me now?” Fang Qiu asked with a grin.
“Let’s go.” He Xue smiled blandly.
Fang Qiu stood up and left with her.
In the coffee shop, suddenly a heart-wrenching cry could be heard.
Most of the people who were sitting in the cafe drinking coffee were actually here for He Xue, but they failed to impress He Xue no matter how much they tried to hit on her. Now He Xue was leaving with a boy wearing a mask. All they could do was watch hopelessly.
How could they not feel devastated?
“Where are we going?” He Xue asked as they walked out of New World.
“Beijiang!”
Fang Qiu grinned and asked, “Where is your car?”
“It was driven away by the people from the car shop. Maybe it will be sold tomorrow.”
He Xue spread out her hands.
“Damn. Could they do that?” Fang Qiu was shocked.
She was extremely fast.
“The private car will arrive in a minute.”
He Xue ignored Fang Qiu’s shock. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and said, “The route I have set is also heading for the airport.”
“That’s the person I’ve selected. Awesome!”
Fang Qiu couldn’t help giving her a thumbs-up.
Her work efficiency was remarkable.
“How did you know that we were going to the airport?”
Fang Qiu asked as they boarded the private car.
He Xue replied, “I have never heard of a place in Luhai where one can plant Chinese medicinal herbs.”
“So, you decided to go with me after we met for the first time?”
Fang Qiu continued to ask, “Have you thought it through? Once you leave, you won’t have much time to come back here. What about your real estate in Luhai?”
“There’s no need to talk about the car. As for the house, as you said, it’s real estate. I can just leave it and wait for the house value to increase, can’t I?”
He Xue replied.
“Of course, you can.” Fang Qiu was embarrassed.
“Okay.” He Xue smiled and said, “All the conditions have been settled. Let’s talk about the job now. What kind of position are you offering me?”
Fang Qiu answered directly, “COO!”
“Chief Operating Officer?”
He Xue nodded and then said thoughtfully, “This position sounds good, but the actual scope seems to be handling chores for the CEO.”
“How can you say that?”
Fang Qiu quickly shook his head and said, “There is still a difference between the CEO and COO. The CEO’s main duty is to appoint the management staff of the company, execute the resolutions of the board, take charge of the daily business, sign contracts and so on. The main duty of the COO is to take charge of the operations management of the company.”
He Xue asked, “Who is the CEO?”
“Me.” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and said, “We’re a small company. It has just been established and has not reached the level of an enterprise yet, so it’s not suitable to have a board of directors. So I’ll be the CEO first. When the board of directors is officially established in the future, I promise that you’ll be the CEO!”
He Xue shook her head. “Frankly, I’m still here to help you with the daily work.”
“No, you’re doing the miscellaneous work for yourself. You’re also a member of the board,” Fang Qiu said hurriedly.
“That’s good to hear.” He Xue finally nodded with satisfaction.
A few hours later, they arrived in Beijiang.
Fang Qiu immediately drew up a contract and asked He Xue to read it. After confirming that there were no problems, they officially signed the contract and He Xue became the COO of the Puji Production Cultivation Pharmaceutical Company!
When they signed the contract, Fang Qiu intentionally called Zhao Shanlin and his roommates over.
“This is Mr. Zhao, the CTO of our company. He is also one of our board members.” Fang Qiu introduced him.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhao.”
He Xue took the initiative to shake hands with Zhao Shanlin.
Having been in the business world for so many years, she certainly knew how important the CTO was for a company, especially for a newly established company like this one.
CTO was short for Chief Technology Officer.
To put it bluntly, the whole company relied on him. Without him, these medicinal herbs would not exist.
“What about these three kids?”
After being introduced to Zhao Shanlin, He Xue turned to look at Zhu Benzheng and the other two and asked.
“The three of them…”
Fang Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, “They are also members of the board. They’re doing miscellaneous duties.”
When he finished speaking, his roommates were displeased.
“Bro, what are you talking about?”
Zhou Xiaotian was the first to stand up and said, “At least, we are also the founders of the company. How can we be handling chores only? We should at least get a title as CXO.”
“Okay, tell me what kind of X do you want?” Fang Qiu said with a smile.
“Haha…” Zhou Xiaotian rubbed his hands, his eyes shining. Then he said, “CFO sounds great.”
“Well, when you get your financial degree, I’ll let you take charge of the money,” Fang Qiu said.
“Forget it.”
Zhou Xiaotian was discouraged.
“Haha, Fang Qiu is right. We are just doing miscellaneous work around here.”
Zhu Benzheng saw that Zhou Xiaotian felt a bit awkward, so he immediately stood up and said, “In fact, it’s a little embarrassing for us to take the shares and receive the money. There are no suitable positions for us, so it’s good that we are helping out with some of the work.”
“I also like to do odd jobs.”
Sun Hao echoed. While speaking, he glanced at He Xue and said, “I’ll stay idle then. I’ll go wherever I want to go. I’ll live a comfortable life. Don’t you think so, Vice President He? If you’re interested, let’s travel together in the future.”
Zhou Xiaotian immediately became anxious. “How can she go with you? If anyone should go with her, it should be me.”
He Xue replied with a smile, “Kid, I’ve already traveled all over the world. I don’t want to travel for now.”
Fang Qiu shook his head with a smile and said, “Mr. Zhao, let’s take Vice President He out for a walk and introduce our current business to her.”
“Okay.” Zhao Shanlin nodded and went out with Fang Qiu and He Xue.
“Where did Fang Qiu find such a beauty?”
After the three of them left, Zhou Xiaotian stared at He Xue’s back and said while salivating, “Our campus belle has just left. And this boy is already making his move. His mind is not pure. I have to keep an eye on him!”
“Keep an eye on Fang Qiu?” Sun Hao looked at Zhou Xiaotian with disdain and said, “I think you’re actually going to keep an eye on our gorgeous Vice President, aren’t you?”
“Are you asking me to come here and arrange the work schedules for the people?”
“That’s really underestimating my talents.”
After walking around the cultivation base, He Xue found that she didn’t seem to have anything to do now. All she needed to do was to divide the labor for the workers.
“Of course, there’s more than that.”
Fang Qiu said with a smile, “Now I just want you to familiarise yourself with the company first. Maybe there will be other issues later.”
“For the sake of money, I’ll wait a little longer.”
He Xue pursed her lips and asked, “When will you solve my health problems?”
“Let’s do it now.” Fang Qiu stretched out his hand and indicated that He Xue should let him feel her pulse.
“Here?” Although He Xue had an inexplicable look on her face, she still extended her hand to Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu secretly transferred his internal Qi into He Xue’s body while he was seemingly feeling her pulse.
Since he had checked that it was a problem with Qi and blood, he only needed to nourish her Qi and blood. If her Qi and blood were adequate, her illness would be cured.
Soon, Fang Qiu activated his internal Qi to drive the Qi in He Xue’s body. He withdrew his hand after the Qi in her body started to circulate.
Glancing at He Xue, Fang Qiu smiled slightly and said, “Your illness is caused by a problem with Qi and blood. I’ve nourished the Qi for you. Later, I’ll give you some medicine to supplement your blood. As long as you take it on time, you’ll recover soon.”
What? He Xue was stunned. She looked at her wrist, which had been lightly pinched by Fang Qiu and then asked inexplicably, “It’s done?”
“It’s done.” Fang Qiu nodded and asked, “Don’t you know what’s the nickname given to me by the people?”
“What? Billion Fang?” He Xue was confused.
“Miracle-working Doctor!” Fang Qiu’s lips curved in a pout.
Only then did He Xue realize that Fang Qiu did have the title of Miracle-working Doctor. And when she first met Fang Qiu, she also called him Miracle-working Doctor. It was only because Fang Qiu donated one billion yuan that it left a deep impression on people. Therefore, when he mentioned the nickname, the first one that came into her mind was Billion Fang.
“Cocky kid.” He Xue rolled her eyes at Fang Qiu.
In only two short days, the whole cultivation base, including the newly-built section, became well organized under He Xue’s management. It was much better than it was before. The work efficiency was also much higher.
“No wonder Fang Qiu deliberately went to Luhai to poach her. She’s really a talent.”
Zhao Shanlin sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
