Chapter 892 - 321: What if Qin Shiqing had discovered that her cheating partner was Huang Panpan in her previous life?_2

Many people might think Zeng Kaiping is showing off, but the spirited guy honestly has no such intention.

His dream is to be a tycoon, not having to work, waking up naturally every day, and counting money until his hands cramp up. So, although his workplace offers weekends off and the salary isn't considered low in these times, the spirited guy remains unsatisfied.

Jelly: "Ah Ping, you should be content. Our workplace only gives us four days off a month, the salary is less than three thousand, and every day we're ordered around by the old folks. It's killing me!"

Old Hou: "What about those poor souls who have to work overtime every day? Ah Ping, are you showing off? I swear I'd want to beat you up!"

The Windy Youngster: "Yeah, I support beating up Ah Ping. Back then, this guy's grades were so bad, but after graduation, he landed a nice job back home. The work is leisurely, and his salary is higher than most in the class. Why don't I have such luck?"

"..."

Zeng Kaiping's words stirred up everyone's anger; they were all filled with righteous indignation.

The spirited guy was unimpressed: "Showing off? What a joke! How can sparrows understand the ambition of swans? I don't see anything good in this lousy place. Third Bro is a fortune-teller, and he's predicted I have the fate of wealth, so I buy ten lottery tickets every day. Once I hit a few million, I'll quit immediately."

The Lofty Aspirations: "Ah Ping, you're overthinking it. Unless you're a director's relative, anyone else winning the lottery is just wishful thinking. You might as well bet on next year's World Cup!"

More people started to pop up in the chat, initially from the public sector, and then from the private sector. But they only dared to chat online after working hours.

Though private companies generally offer better benefits than public units, the bosses won't support idlers, and the rules are strict. If you're caught chatting online during work hours, you'll get docked pay.

The Cool Morning: "Ah, I'm beat, tired like a dog. Whoever said foreign companies are good, I'll fight them. All capitalists are the same. Our boss is a slave driver, squeezing out every bit of our labor value. I can't take it anymore; I'll quit someday and join the boss [teary eyes]."

Always Handsome Even at One: "Come on, Ah Xi, I've heard you say this countless times. Just listen and take it with a grain of salt. You're an ambitious person, never satisfied being second to anyone. You'd establish your own domain rather than join me."

The loafer spoke up, seeing things very clearly.

He knew the class flower's personality and strong will too well. Back then, at the financial institute, she always tried to overturn the oppression of this big mountain of his, but unfortunately, she never succeeded by the time of graduation.

Having been suppressed for four years in university, after graduation, Ah Xi wouldn't hope to be suppressed again, so her going it alone was a certainty.

Even though Ah Xi once said that if she started a company, she'd invite him to invest and help out, she'd definitely be the one at the helm. He didn't have that much time and energy to manage a second company. At most, he'd invest some money to become a shareholder and occasionally give her advice, much like his role in Nanaz's Chao Tribe.

Nanaz: "Ah Xi would be dissatisfied under others, but under the boss, she's probably quite willing. After all, it's what she's used to [chuckling]."

The Cool Morning: "..."

Why does it feel like Nanaz loves to tease about her and the boss? Wasn't she the boss's girlfriend?

Future Hed Tycoon: "Can't help it, Third Bro's suppression is too strong. Ah Xi can't move or resist, so she can only enjoy it, haha [snickering]."

Old Smoker: "Though Ah Xi has the presence of a strong woman, encountering a figure like the boss, she can only eternally be beneath him. Such is fate!"

"..."

Everyone started to banter.

Back then, everyone felt there might be something between Su Zelin and Luo Xi. One was the class president, the other the vice president. They were close, both in class affairs and personal interactions, adding that they were a perfect match. But regrettably, no signs emerged by graduation. Yet, this doesn't stop people from occasionally teasing them even now.

The Cool Morning: "What are you all saying? Little pure me doesn't understand [adorable big eyes]."

Xiaoliu: "The chat is lively today. Everyone seems full of energy!"

Old Hou (Hou Chunhua): "Wow, even a long-time lurker like Xiaoliu is surfacing, how rare!"

The Financial Management Class one's chat group has been active for almost two months, but Liuu Wanyin rarely appears. Not that she dislikes chatting, nor is she introverted—Xiaoliu is no longer the same. She's just too busy, hardly having time usually.

Time Has Tears: "Xiaoliu is mixing with the boss, becoming the regional manager for the Central Plains Province in New Era. She's super busy and doesn't have time, unlike us, idly chatting all day."

Popcorn: "A regional manager of a province must have a high salary. I'd guess Wanyin's income has broken the five-figure mark!"

Struggling for the Future: "Of course, New Era has great benefits. A position like regional manager is undoubtedly tied to business performance. As long as Xiaoliu does well, it's not just five figures—base salary plus bonuses and commissions—it's not impossible to break into six figures!"

Single Noble: "Wow, six figures, terrifying! I can't even dream of mid-five figures. It's probably impossible for me in this life!"

Butterfly in Love with Flowers: "It's not just a high income. The low-cost employee housing in New Era is capped too, and an elder like Wanyin will surely have a spot. I'm so jealous, I wish I had worked part-time at the finance institute store back then!"

"..."

The chat was bustling.

Internet fees weren't cheap in those times. The lowest fees in cheaper areas were six to seven hundred, with higher areas exceeding a thousand. For these rookies just entering society with low incomes, it's a significant expense. Apart from those who share rent to split the costs, or people like the loafer who aren't short on money, many people are unwilling to get broadband. Mobile data on WAP phones was even more expensive, so some people would choose to use the internet at their workplace or company after work before heading home.
