Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Hearing Li Xiaofeng say that, Liu Qianqian said with an annoyed look: "Pah, that sounds nice. A hooligan isn't scary, what's scary is a hooligan with culture. I think you're more likely to want to enjoy me!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I'm still a tiny bit less talented than Xu Zhimo!"

"At least Xu Zhimo only had one wife!"

"That's because his abilities are limited and his skills are mediocre. He can't even support a socialite, so he shouldn't pretend to be one. Besides, he's just a sycophant, and he deserves to end up with nothing!"

Liu Qianqian glanced at him, seemingly unwilling to discuss the topic any further, and said in a light tone, "Actually, Sun Wenxuan is quite capable, and his family has a very strong network of connections. Why don't you make good use of him?"

Perhaps if you give him some actual shares, he won't have such a big problem. Everyone knows that if you only give him shares without any real ownership, you can kick him out at any time!

Li Xiaofeng turned his gaze to the window and said with a smile, "Want real shares? Sure, take out your real money and invest it in the company. I'll calculate the value for you based on the original shares. Ask him if he'll agree."

"We don't have much money. The little we have is barely enough to make a ripple. It's completely ineffective!"

"Isn't that okay?"

Li Xiaofeng looked at Liu Qianqian with a meaningful gaze, and said with a half-smile, "Liu Qianqian, you asked me out today, and after all this roundabout talk, you're not trying to ask me for shares, are you?"

Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything.

"Qianqian, you may have gotten used to being fawned over at school and thought that after entering society, you would still be the same as before, where as long as you have a glance, people would offer you whatever you like."

That's how it was before, mainly because what you wanted was of low value, so people didn't care. What they actually gave you wasn't the physical item itself, but the emotional value—the feeling of being admired by everyone.

But when it comes to crucial and significant interests, your pretty face won't be of much use. Besides, once people enter society, they become more pragmatic.

If you want something for free, that won't work here, at least not with me. Do you think I'm an irrational person to have achieved my current status?

The only difference is that I prefer to put things out in the open and discuss them frankly, while others keep things to themselves and pursue their own selfish interests!

Liu Qianqian's expression turned somewhat displeased, but she said nonchalantly, "Xiaofeng, don't forget, my family also has some resources, and I'm one of the company's founding members. What's wrong with wanting some shares?"

Don't forget, this company of yours was started by Sun Wenxuan and me. You only contributed a small amount of capital. What's so special about that? Do you think we can't get funding from others?"

"If you could have gotten the money back then, you would have done so much earlier. Why did you come to me at the end? What are the chances of two college students starting a business getting funding? Even if you have some connections!"

Of course, now that you're about to graduate, and you already have experience and a resume with me, it will be relatively easier for you to get funding!

It's okay. If you want to leave and start your own business, I have no objection. Although you two are the core of the company, you are not the whole company.

Now that the company has grown to its current state, the structure for operations, planning, and marketing has been established, and all the people involved have received some form of equity from me.

These people are all experienced in society and know that I offer good benefits. What do you think the chances are that they can lure the entire team away?

When I said I would only take 30% of the profits, what did you think my reason was? In this world, money is the most tempting thing. As long as I'm willing to spend money, I can retain talent!

Another question is, after you two leave, how much investment can you secure? How much investment would it take to support a company the size of mine?

Liu Qianqian remained silent, eating her food with a somewhat bored expression.

Li Xiaofeng continued earnestly, "Liu Qianqian, you need to understand yourself, how much value your abilities have, and how much value you yourself have."

It's possible that your personal value is greater than your actual worth, causing you to lose sight of yourself, or perhaps you've combined these two factors, greatly overestimating your own value.

Of course, combining both values ​​isn't necessarily impossible, but you'd have to be willing to go all out. But are you willing to go all out? Do you want to go all out? And for whom would you go all out?

After taking a sip of water, Li Xiaofeng continued, "Liu Qianqian, you are just a student. I don't know if you realize that compared to those seasoned professionals, you have no advantage and are not irreplaceable."

The reason you hold such a high position and receive such high compensation is because you are one of the company's founders and a veteran employee; this does not truly reflect your abilities.

Liu Qianqian said somewhat indignantly, "What men can do, we women can do too!"

Li Xiaofeng chuckled and said irritably, "Are you talking about Sun Wenxuan? He's different from you. His network of connections is much stronger than yours. For a small company, he's irreplaceable."

Of course, our company isn't very big right now. The reason I'm not worried about him leaving is simply because I have a much larger and more promising business plan, and I can implement it very soon!

Liu Qianqian still said defiantly, "You just look down on us women!"

Li Xiaofeng's expression turned cold, and he began to sneer: "Liu Qianqian, men have been active in this society for thousands of years. Compared with men, you women are actually not good enough."

Do you know what it means to say that beautiful women often have tragic fates? In a man's world, if a woman is too beautiful, her personal value exceeds her ability, which is a kind of original sin, and she will be coveted.

In a way, God is fair. If you are given a very good-looking person, you will naturally have to face some additional difficulties!

You'd better pray for yourself. Don't be naive enough to think men and women are the same. Otherwise, you'll end up being sold out and you'll be foolishly counting the money for them!

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm easily scared?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled, but his expression was very serious as he said, "Qianqian, I am someone who keeps moving forward with the tide of the times. I will not stop for anyone."

You, Liu Qianqian, are just a passerby in my life. Meeting you was fate, but there are countless cases in this world where people are destined to meet but not to stay together. Once it's missed, it's missed!
