What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 78: A Thousand-foot Wall
When one person goes out, three people follow him out.

One person walks in front and three people follow behind.

One person riding an electric scooter, three people...finally stopped.

"Are you still chasing?" Qin Shaohong asked his colleagues bitterly.

Master Sun Jing said unhappily, "Will I be scolded again if I catch up with him?"

Zou Jiafen looked at the direction where Yu Xing disappeared, her face still grim.

Qin Shaohong and Sun Jingshi looked at each other, both feeling frustrated and helpless.

They chased after him unconsciously. If they didn't chase after him, they would definitely be criticized by the employees behind their backs. If they chased after him, they would be scolded...

Now that I have stopped where I am for a while, I can’t catch up even if I want to.

"Damn it, damn it!" Qin Shaohong was stunned for a moment, then said regretfully, "If I had known earlier, I would have gone up and punched him!"

Master Sun Jing sighed: "You are so weak, being scolded is not enough, do you have to be beaten to feel at ease?"

The more Qin Shaohong thought about it, the more he beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling deeply frustrated.

"I'm afraid Yu Xing won't be able to stay in the company." Sun Jingshi shook his head. "He's that kind of person..."

Zou Jiafen added coldly: "No scruples!"

Master Sun Jing suddenly realized: "Right, right, right! Damn it, he has no scruples at all!"

But after saying this, the three people looked at each other in bewilderment. The young man had money and did not plan to stay in the company to work. He also had job opportunities outside from e-commerce giants. What on earth should he be afraid of?

He can have scruples, but if he chooses not to, then he really doesn't have to have scruples.

"He will suffer sooner or later!"

Zou Jiafen could only say this hatefully.

As for how early or late, the three directors really didn't have the energy to discuss it.

……

"What are you doing now?"

"I'm counting the screens. Thirty-five. Oh, no, it should be more than thirty! Never mind. Just count it as thirty-five!"

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Xing received a call from Liu Wanying on the 15th floor of the Coast Building. He had shared the good news of his first day at work with his good friend as soon as possible, and Liu Wanying was also quite excited when she heard the voice on the phone.

She posed two questions: "Did you really tear it? Hey, did you really count?"

"Can you still count falsely? Xiangjiang is quite close. You can drive directly to Coast Building and see if I am counting." Yu Xing counted silently in his mind and said, "I had a quarrel with my colleagues today. They insisted that I do the work."

Liu Wanying really found it funny: "Your description is really niche..."

"It's just an agreement. It's only the first day and you're already pointing fingers. I don't feel like saying anything more." Yu Xing asked again, "Are you coming? I'll treat you to a meal."

"Let's do it some other time. I'll ask a colleague to ride my car some other time. It's much more convenient to go via the Pengcheng Bay Bridge now." Liu Wanying said casually, "I'm more interested in your quarrel on your first day on the job."

"Then wait a moment, I'll put on some headphones and go to the next floor." Yu Xing took out his headphones and continued his verification journey downwards.

Although an unexpected event occurred in his work life today, his mood was not affected, and he still needed to do his work as planned.

Wearing headphones, he chatted with Liu Wanying, who was about 50 kilometers away, about today's situation, while continuing to use the most primitive method to verify the strength of Focus Media.

Liu Wanying listened with great interest, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "A thousand-foot-high wall stands firm, and a man without desires is strong. Hey, you are... Hey, I want to imitate you and make a scene like this."

Yu Xing thought about it and said honestly: "It's not that I have no desire at all. If they had followed the contract completely, I would have felt a little embarrassed to take action, but now it can be considered a mutual fulfillment."

Liu Wanying asked: "Are you really embarrassed?"

"Yes." Yu Xing answered without hesitation, and then said without hesitation, "But that is a private matter. I may feel embarrassed, but exposing the inside story of the industry is a public matter. I have to do what I should do. How can I sacrifice public affairs for personal reasons?"

Liu Wanying was amazed: "Okay, with you like this, I have more confidence in Investment Know-it-all. Alas, your encounter with them was a wrong start."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Please recall carefully, beautiful lady. Wasn't this encounter planned by you? What are you surprised about? Aren't you the instigator?"

"It's easy to propose a goal, but it's very difficult to achieve it." Liu Wanying said without taking credit, "Now that you are rich, you have a different confidence in doing things."

"If money can't even give me confidence, then why should I work so hard to earn it, right?" Yu Xing said this and gave the final statistics, "The LCD screen from Focus Media in Coastal Building is 79 yuan."

Liu Wanying's attention returned to what Yu Xing was doing now: "79, 79... Are you really going to count all the hundreds of thousands of screens of Focus Media one by one? I'm really impressed. How can you not succeed? If you study medicine, maybe you will be an expert in pathology in the future."

Yu Xing smiled and replied, "I didn't count them myself. I hired someone. Just like you said, this money really boosted my confidence. Without this money, I really couldn't come up with a budget of hundreds of thousands to verify other companies' data like this."

Three months ago, we had to find a way to even raise the money to register the company. Now, with an estimated budget of around 15, I don’t feel too bad about it.

Liu Wanying pondered for a while, then said thoughtfully: "Boss Yu, well, since you have already started, let me give you a little advice."

Yu Xing immediately replied: "Come on, comrade, tell me."

"..." Liu Wanying still gave her suggestion, "Since you want to count and verify the bottom-level data supporting this company, then don't just simply count the number. You need to pay attention not only to the number, but also to the placement of these screens."

"For example, there must be a big difference between the commercial value of office buildings and residential buildings. If a company commits fraud, even if its basics are fine, it does not mean that there is no water in the more detailed parts, and this is the key point you need to count."

"For example, the distribution of LCD screens in first-tier, second-tier and third-tier cities is obviously different, but this data can be compared when it is finally compiled."

"Also, I now doubt whether it will be effective in suppressing the stock price even if there are some problems with the basic data."

Liu Wanying spoke freely and gave her own ideas.

"Sister Ying, I can't do it alone. You have to participate. This is where your abilities can be put to good use!" Yu Xing was very happy to have the problem pointed out. "Liu Wanying, this is the value of asking questions!"

He continued to persuade her: "Do you have such value in your company now? Not only will they not increase your salary, but they will also reduce your salary. Not only will they not give you a promotion, but you will also face the risk of being laid off!"

Liu Wanying was a little happy after hearing the previous words, but she was helpless after hearing the latter part: "I don't think I told you this, do you really want to rub salt into other people's wounds?"

"You don't need to tell me this. I can figure it out by just thinking about it. Besides, your previous merger and acquisition was also stopped." Yu Xing said earnestly, "Why do you have to limit yourself to the workplace? You can have another choice. Look at me. I'm about to become a know-it-all."

Liu Wanying sighed, "If it really doesn't work, I'll go to Bai Xiaosheng, right?"

Yu Xing flatly refused: “Oh, Bai Xiaosheng can’t do that.”

He continued, "The only offer I have for you is from a research organization. This is the best place for you to shine."

"The more I listen, the more depressed I feel." Liu Wanying said helplessly, "You just want to stare at the money I saved with great difficulty in my pocket, right?"

Yu Xing heard that the tone was indeed a little depressed, and his voice became a little lower and softer: "Sister Ying, just like we agreed before, if there is a problem with the basic data verification, there is a high probability that Focus Media will have other problems. Logically, if it even tampered with the basic data, other aspects must also be changed."

"I'm not forcing you to do anything. I just think that if you want to, if you're unhappy, you can try to change direction and do something that makes you happy."

Liu Wanying said with a smile: "You will be happy if you short others, right?"

"If no one else is happy about short selling, then what else is there to be happy about?" Yu Xing said in amazement. "Besides, we are short selling for justice. If it is not fraudulent, there will be no loopholes. We help the industry and investors point out problems and make money at the same time. Isn't this worth being happy about?"

Liu Wanying said darkly, "I doubt how long you can maintain your justice."

"The research company only issues reports. If you think a particular short sale does not suit your wishes, you don't have to invest your money." Yu Xing said seriously, "We can spend half a year or a year to research the possible problems of a company, and you can earn a lot of returns in one action, which gives you more choices in life."

Liu Wanying was silent for a while: "Continue counting your screens."

Yu Xing ended the call with Liu Wanying, but he could clearly feel that an elite from a consulting company fifty kilometers away had already been moved.

This may well mean that the two can make their appointment earlier.

For example, count the number of screens in the city of Pengcheng.

……

The second day of working life.

Yu Xing got up earlier than yesterday and even ran a short distance. He felt more energetic.

So, working part-time has its advantages. My work and rest schedule is more regular than before.

At 8:30 in the morning, Yu Xing walked into the company with a dignified manner. As soon as he showed up, he felt that the surroundings had become quiet.

"Good morning, everyone." Yu Xing noticed the various complicated looks, smiled at everyone in a friendly manner and greeted them again.

no respond.

Yesterday’s fight was fun to watch, but no matter how fun it was, that kind of unusual behavior did naturally create a distance.

Yu Xing showed no emotional fluctuations and went back to his workstation. He then began to ponder and think about the advice Liu Wanying had given him yesterday. He believed that data statistics should indeed be more detailed and targeted.

Since you want to short, you must give sufficiently shocking negative news.

Otherwise, the market should gradually digest it, right?
Yu Xing estimated and guessed the situation, and felt that he should still sign up for a class or consult more professionals.

No, professionals don’t have that much time.

Otherwise, I can go to Pengcheng University to take finance classes on weekends. Well, I don’t know if there are classes there on weekends.

Of course there are days off on weekdays, but I can’t go because I have to go to work.

Yu Xing began to have some worries about staying at his post.

"Brother, you're here today." Tong Xingjian, a colleague at the next workstation, arrived at his post and was surprised to find that the new director was already sitting there.

Yu Xing asked curiously, "Why didn't I come?"

Tong Xingjian was speechless, he just felt that this man was very strong inside.

Now we have completely figured out this person's background. He was originally a medical graduate student, but suddenly decided to start a business in the marriage and love industry. As a result... he actually achieved some success.

Moreover, what he said yesterday was also verified. His colleagues were enthusiastic about using the Internet or real-life relationships to research this person, but there was no need to do much research as there were reports about him on the Internet.

About his level...

Judging from the current information, there is no problem, and things like Liu Qiangdong’s private phone calls probably aren’t lies.

In this way, we can completely understand the young director's reliance. He will leave after receiving three months' salary, and he has made an agreement in advance, so he doesn't need to care about other people's thoughts at all.

Apart from envy, everyone was wise enough not to have too many thoughts. Director Yu didn't have to make a living on Zhenai.com because he couldn't do it himself.

Therefore, even though I did not dislike his anger and even secretly supported his attacks, there was no way to communicate in terms of words or attitude.

At 9:20 in the morning, Vice President Wei Jialan hurriedly called Director Yu into the office in front of everyone. This made everyone feel regretful. If there was anything, why not say it face to face?
"Mr. Yu, are you going too far?" Wei Jialan received a call last night and learned about the situation, but decided to deal with it when she went to work today.

"I get off work according to the contract and don't do anything according to the agreement." Yu Xing sat down, "So, how can I avoid going too far?"

Wei Jialan frowned and asked, "Then why did you come?"

Yu Xing laughed and said, "I find that you leaders are all forgetful. Didn't you ask me to come? Why did you and the three directors yesterday talk in the same tone? I didn't want to come to Pengcheng, didn't you force me to come?"

"Then, you come here to be a troublemaker?" Wei Jialan said dissatisfiedly.

"It's started again." Yu Xing said helplessly, "How many times do I need to tell this to how many people?"

Wei Jialan raised her eyebrows: "Boss Yu, do you mean that I can't do any work at all?" Yu Xing said firmly: "Yes, I am allergic to work."

Wei Jialan sighed, thought for a moment and said, "Boss Yu, before yesterday, I thought we were all happy. Zhenai.com recognized the value of your entrepreneurship, and you chose Zhenai.com as the final buyer, willing to hand over your team to us to develop. Even if you don't want to do any work, couldn't you have a little bit of humanity and give us a little face in an occasion like yesterday?"

"Contract, agreement." Yu Xing calmly raised an index finger, gave two words, and then continued, "We can talk about it without infringing on my personal interests. I can't accept it if you break the agreement and ask me to talk about personal relationships."

Wei Jialan fell into a long silence.

She never expected that there was no room for compromise in the conditions Yu Xing proposed from the very beginning.

But on second thought, Zhenai.com would not suffer any loss by taking over Guiai.com's business. It would be good to have Yu Xing added, and he is indeed a talent. But looking at it now, I'm afraid it can't be forced.

Wei Jialan spoke again and shook her head, "Boss Yu, you are so weird."

"I find it strange too. Didn't we make an agreement? Why does the agreement everyone said seem to be meaningless?" Yu Xing spread his hands, "Boss Wei, explain it to me."

Wei Jialan said helplessly: "This is how the workplace is, Mr. Yu, sometimes being too sharp is not a good thing."

Yu Xing said bluntly: "So, I was aiming to start a business, but you guys pushed me into the workplace."

Wei Jialan felt the toughness of the man in front of her and gave in: "Okay, okay, it's all our fault. We shouldn't have expected a talent like you to work for Zhenai.com, and we shouldn't have spent money to buy your business."

"You didn't have to buy Zhenai.com at the time. There were also Baihe.com and Jiayuan.com." Yu Xing reminded, "Do I need to explain this clearly? This is a business transaction. Do I need to be grateful for it?"

He asked bluntly: "Is it you who hasn't woken up yet or me?"

That’s too blunt!

Wei Jialan was instantly furious, but calmed down after a few seconds and said slowly, "Boss Yu, as a member of Zhenai.com, I certainly hope that more talents will work for the company, but if you don't want to, I won't force you. I just have some sincere words to say."

Yu Xing stretched out his hand to see how sincere he was.

"In our society and business environment, more friends mean more paths." Wei Jialan said sincerely, "You have gone from starting a business to working in the workplace. Even if these three months are just a formality, can't you accumulate some experience? Many things are interconnected. I'll give you a suggestion. After all, you are young, and after all, you have made the transition from medicine to business. Do things and build interpersonal relationships. After three months, you can leave if you want. There is no harm in that."

Yu Xing nodded and said, "Okay, I don't accept your suggestion."

Without waiting for the other party's reaction, he also gave a suggestion: "Leave this to the next young person. This is also my advice to you."

Wei Jialan realized that there was nothing more to say.

She raised her hand helplessly, signaling the other party to go back to work... and go back to slacking off.

Yu Xing stood up and asked, "Boss Wei, are my office and car still available?"

Wei Jialan looked at the young man in front of her in astonishment, and said with a smile: "What do you think?"

Yu Xing sighed: "This is what you and I agreed on."

"The final right of interpretation belongs to me, okay?" Wei Jialan was finally able to vent a little. "If you want an explanation, I can tell you that the company is short of cars right now, and we expect to be able to allocate a Mercedes-Benz E to you in three months."

She looked at Yu Xing and smiled, "As for the office, I don't want to give it to you, is that okay?"

Yu Xing shrugged: "I just think that if I sit outside, it will easily affect my colleagues."

Wei Jialan waved her hand, showing no interest in continuing the communication.

Yu Xing left the office indifferently and continued to sit at his workstation, thinking about his own things.

Wei Jialan was feeling a little annoyed. She didn't expect Yu Xing to be so determined. She always thought that as long as people came in, everything would be easy.

After thinking it over, she still felt that the matter needed to be reported again, but she had to find a good time. After all, she was the one who gave a biased opinion when Mr. Li asked about it.

Wei Jialan found an opportunity at the evening dinner and took advantage of Mr. Li's good mood to briefly bring up the matter, talking about the immaturity of college students and the conflict between him and his fellow director.

"Oh, that Yu Xing." Li Song frowned upon hearing this, "Forget it, let him be. The society is not as easy as he thinks."

Only then did Wei Jialan feel relieved.

Li Song added: "Developing the dating contract business is more important than whether a person stays or leaves. This is truly beneficial to the company."

Wei Jialan immediately nodded to show her confidence.

Li Song didn't say anything else.

Wei Jialan's worries about Yu Xing were completely eliminated. Apart from paying attention to the movements of the man in the company, all her attention was turned to the development of new business. Yu Xing did not make any more trouble and just kept quiet.

……

Working life is boring.

Counting screens is also boring.

Throughout mid-to-early October, Yu Xing's daily life was a superposition of two boring things. The only thing that he found interesting was that Liu Wanying had obviously increased her concern about the number of LCD screens.

According to Yu Xing's rule of counting after get off work, Liu Wanying would call him almost every day at six or seven o'clock. The time might be long or short, and the content involved was the real-time number of LCDs and the operation of short-selling institutions.

Because of such frequent phone calls, Yu Xing even had the illusion that she liked him.

"What are you doing?"

“Count the screens.”

"What are you doing?"

“Count the screens.”

"What are you doing?"

"Play basketball."

On October 15, Liu Wanying heard a different answer on the phone that she had gradually gotten used to maintaining communication with.

She asked in surprise: "Why don't you count today?"

"It's so boring, but I'm not a robot." Yu Xing said with a smile, "I'm just relaxing. Also, I've signed up for the basketball team building next weekend."

Liu Wanying was stunned at first, then laughed for half a minute: "Hey, what's wrong with you? You don't do your job, but you are so enthusiastic about signing up for team building? Why did they sign you up?"

"I don't have any conflicts with my colleagues, they just want to watch the fun." Yu Xing complained, "I sit there all day, and now I find that I feel empty after slacking off like this for too long."

Liu Wanying found it very interesting: "It just so happens that they want you to work."

"No, I just found a new job yesterday. Now I'm supervising Zhong Zhiling and his team." Yu Xing couldn't work at this time. "Come to Pengcheng next weekend and cheer me up. It's just right. I've been doing research for more than a week, and I feel that there are indeed problems."

Liu Wanying became more serious: "Go ahead."

Yu Xing pondered: "I don't know if this is an isolated case. The total number in Pengcheng has not been released yet, but the office buildings and residences I visited these days seem to show that the proportion of Focus Media's screens in office buildings is not as high as they claim."

According to Focus Media, most of their screens are in bustling commercial buildings and office buildings.

However, as Yu Xing accumulated more field visits, he felt that something seemed to be wrong: there were many more screens in residential buildings than in office buildings.

"The commercial value of residential buildings is much lower, and it is a common practice to pass off inferior goods as good ones." Liu Wanying felt heavy-hearted but also inexplicably excited. "Then see you next weekend."

"OK, I'll continue to visit in the next few days." Yu Xing ended the call, continued to practice, and planned to show off his skills in team-building activities.

Unfortunately...when it came to the basketball team building on the weekend, no one on the court passed the ball to Yu Xing.

"Yu Xing, come on, Yu Xing, come on!" Liu Wanying, who was off the court, looked at Yu Xing running back and forth and felt that the scene was quite miserable. Moreover, the players did not pass the ball to him and the coach did not replace him.

Yu Xing spread his hands, feeling somewhat helpless, towards Liu Wanying, who seemed particularly bright and charming after not seeing her for a long time.

"Guard him, let him go!" Liu Wanying put her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Just guard the one with the ball!"

When Yu Xing heard the shouting, he suddenly realized that if no one passed the ball to him, why would he care about the life or death of the team or the score.

He let go of his defender and actively double-teamed the opponent's ball handler.

Basketball team building, or in other words, team building by playing basketball with the boss.

Li Song, the boss of Zhenai.com, is the one with the ball. Moreover, he can break through with the ball very easily and he can always make layups easily. This is naturally the unspoken rule of workplace relationships.

Yu Xing suddenly double-teamed Li Song, who made hasty moves.

Snapped!
Yu Xing shot the ball down.

The basketball was snatched away by the opponent and passed back to the boss Li Song.

Li Song shook twice and tried to break through and make a layup again.

Yu Xing gave the shot space and, relying on his young and strong body, jumped up to block the shot in the second.

Snapped!
Double kill!

Li Song looked unhappy and slowly returned to defense.

In the third round, Li Song held the ball again.

Yu Xing ignored the shouts from the side "You go defend the bottom corner" and stood in front of Li Song to put defensive pressure on him.

Snapped!
Triple kill!

Yu Xing didn't give any face at all. When he couldn't get the ball, he focused on defense. Quadra kill, Penta kill!

He blocked Li Song's five balls in a row.

The cheers in the audience gradually faded, and everyone felt embarrassed and excited.

Li Song got angry and insisted on hitting Yu Xing with a ball.

Facing the middle-aged and elderly-style dribbling, Yu Xing easily stole the ball and made a layup, which led to silence in the entire court.

Unstoppable!

He wiped the sweat off his face and stopped playing without hearing the coach's request to make a substitution.

"Hey, Mr. Li, you guys go play." Yu Xing walked straight off the stage, "See you tomorrow."

Liu Wanying had only heard the description on the phone before, but when she saw the concrete scene today, she almost died of laughter.

Li Song looked unhappy: "Hey, Yu Xing, you play well."

Yu Xing waved his hand: "You can make do with it."

The basketball game was not over yet, but Li Song's enthusiasm for the game had been completely extinguished. He looked at Yu Xing's back as he left, and had only one thought in his mind: to get this guy out of the company as soon as possible.

Liu Wanying walked out of the gym and said with a smile: "You are so bad."

Yu Xing wiped his sweat again: "It's just like this in a game. If you don't pass the ball, I can only defend. No, you shouted that from the sidelines."

Liu Wanying blinked and smiled sweetly: "I am honored, Boss Yu."
