166 Big Bro, This Can Work
When Xiao Renjian walked out of that Golden Arches store, it was already late at night. He rubbed his neck, but the stiffness didn’t diminish in the slightest.
Suddenly, a hand clapped on his shoulder, and at the same time, a familiar voice rang out: “Jian Ren, how was your first day of work?”
Xiao Renjian turned around. “You don’t know since you haven’t done it…”
“Who said I haven’t done it?” Wang Heng immediately interrupted. “Don’t forget, when you were having fun last summer vacation, I was working part-time at a milk tea shop.”
Xiao Renjian: “What kind of work did you do at the milk tea shop? Just making milk tea, and there were girls around. But do you know what I did today? Mopping the floor, cleaning up trash, smelling the fried chicken but not even being able to sneak a bite!”
“You think the person responsible for frying chicken can sneak a bite?” Wang Heng pressed on this guy’s shoulder. “Wait, when you told me last time you wanted to work part-time at Golden Arches, you weren’t just thinking about sneaking food, were you?”
Xiao Renjian: “…Sneaking food isn’t the point, the point is making money.”
Wang Heng: “Right. Since the point is making money, then making money is enough, isn’t it?”
“But this money is really hard to earn,” Xiao Renjian said with a mournful face. “Spending money is easy, earning it is too tiring.”
Looking at his best friend like this, Wang Heng hesitated a little.
This morning, the first thing he did after getting up was to take his own money, along with Tan Meng and Lu Qi’s money, and enter the stock market, buying the stock the hamster had hinted at with a full position. A full 1.5 million in cash, bought at an average price of 8.1 yuan, which meant 185,000 shares. As long as he could give Xiao Renjian a little bit of the future profits, it would far exceed his meager salary at Golden Arches.
But was this good?
Directly giving money to his best friend, was it helping him or harming him?
But on the other hand, when he earned more in the future, if he still didn’t give him a hand, it wouldn’t be right as a friend… So, when and in what way would it be appropriate to help him?
Suddenly, Xiao Renjian’s voice interrupted his wandering thoughts: “What are you thinking about?”
Wang Heng asked, “Do you have any plans for the future?”
Xiao Renjian was taken aback. “Did you take the wrong medicine?”
Wang Heng: “No, I was just thinking, we are still students now, and it’s definitely hard to make money from part-time jobs. So what about after graduation?”
Xiao Renjian: “Find a job after graduation, what else? Starting to think about this in freshman year, isn’t that worrying too much?”
Wang Heng shook his head. “Thinking early is better than late. By the way, what major are you studying again?”
Xiao Renjian: “Biotechnology.”
Wang Heng: “…So it’s better to start considering early.”
Hearing his tone, Xiao Renjian also realized something was wrong and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the biotechnology major? Is it a pit?”
Wang Heng: “It’s not a question of whether it’s a pit or not… Anyway, you can check the employment rate over the years.”
Xiao Renjian: “I checked. The employment rate displayed by the school is close to 100%!”
Wang Heng looked at his young best friend who had not yet experienced the beatings of society and sighed. “The school’s statistical caliber is of course as high as possible. Let me tell you, when the school calculates the employment rate, it will also include students taking the postgraduate entrance exam. And for those looking for jobs in society, as long as you find a position, no matter what kind of position, they will count you in. As for the specific treatment, salary, and whether there are five insurances and one housing fund, that’s hard to say.”
Xiao Renjian was a little dazed hearing this. “So the employment situation is actually very grim?”
“What else do you think?” Wang Heng asked back. “Don’t you usually watch social news?”
Xiao Renjian held his head and thought for a moment. “But if I change my major now… changing majors is very difficult!”
Wang Heng: “I’m not asking you to change your major now, just suggesting you look more and understand more, think clearly in advance, that’s all. However, if you can’t find a job in the future, you can also come to me.”
Xiao Renjian sneered. “Find you? What can you do if I can’t find a job? Introduce me to a rich lady?”
Wang Heng was about to say something else, but just then, his phone rang.
Taking out his phone, it was a call from Lu Qi.
“Hello, Sister Lu…”
Just as he connected and greeted her, Xiao Renjian beside him couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Lu? Is it the pretty sister we had dinner with that night? Hey, hey, hey, is it her looking for you?”
Wang Heng pushed this guy away and slightly lowered the phone volume to ensure he couldn’t hear Lu Qi’s voice.
At the same time, the mature woman’s voice on the phone was also faintly excited: “You guessed right again, that stock really hit the limit up!”
Wang Heng: “Didn’t it stop a few hours ago?”
Lu Qi: “So I wanted to find you a few hours ago, but you didn’t answer the phone then.”
“Is that so…”
Wang Heng recalled. At that time, he was probably with Han Yixuan and habitually set his phone to silent?
Fortunately, Lu Qi didn’t fuss about this detail and continued, “I just calculated. According to what you said about continuous limit ups, that is, a 10% increase every day, by this time next month, it will be more than three times. This is because the stock market stops trading during the Spring Festival holiday, otherwise it would rise even more than this!”
Wang Heng: “That’s right, your calculation is of course correct.”
Lu Qi asked somewhat unwillingly, “Then besides this stock, have you found any others? I asked the bank, and the mortgage loan can be approved for me within two months.”
Wang Heng: “Sister Lu, be careful and cautious. The risk is huge. I won’t enter ordinary stocks at all. To be honest, retail investors are almost all leeks. In the long run, not many people make money. So this opportunity is just this once.”
Lu Qi sighed. “I know the risk is high, so I haven’t traded stocks… Alright, let’s talk about something else. I booked a flight ticket for tomorrow. Do you want to come see me off?”
Wang Heng: “To the airport?”
Lu Qi: “The airport is too far from here. It would be great if you could see me off to the bus station.”
Wang Heng agreed, “Alright, I’ll see you off tomorrow.”
Lu Qi gave a soft “Mhm,” but immediately after, she added, “Just you alone. No need to bring your girlfriend.”
Wang Heng: “…Uh, okay.”
After saying “goodbye” with satisfaction, Lu Qi hung up the phone.
Wang Heng put away his phone and looked at his best friend who was wiggling his thick eyebrows not far away.
Xiao Renjian: “Big Bro, let’s discuss something…”
Wang Heng: “Just say it!”
Xiao Renjian: “If I can’t find a job in the future, can you help introduce me to a rich lady? Doesn’t have to be as young and beautiful as Sister Lu, slightly more mature is also fine…”
Wang Heng sighed. “I can’t help you introduce a rich lady because my relationship with Sister Lu is not what you imagine. I am her consultant, consultant, do you understand? The kind that uses brains to do things.”
Xiao Renjian rubbed his hands, his face full of wretchedness. “Of course use brains, but besides brains working? Kidneys have to work too, right?”
Wang Heng: “…”
Xiao Renjian slapped his chest hard. “Anyway, I’m in good health, I can withstand it. Big Bro, give your little brother a hand if there’s such an opportunity in the future! This line of work, I think it can work!”
