Chapter 170 This coffee is damn expensive
After taking a few sips of coffee, Chen Sijia asked Gu Wenxuan in a low voice.
"Hey, Gu Wenxuan, what are you doing in Shanghai this time?"
After not seeing Chen Sijia for half a month, Gu Wenxuan suddenly felt that she seemed to have grown prettier. Was it because the climate in the south was good, or was it because the girl was in a good mood? Her complexion looked a lot more beautiful.
Seeing Gu Wenxuan looking at her without saying anything, Chen Sijia thought there was something dirty on her face, so she touched it with her hand and asked:
"Hey, why aren't you talking? Is there a fly on my face?"
Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but say, "Have you been enjoying yourself during this period? Look at your face, it's much prettier than when you were in Peking!"
When Chen Sijia heard Gu Wenxuan say that she was much more beautiful than before, her heart was moved and her face turned red.
She said shyly, "How could that be? You are talking nonsense!"
Seeing her shy look, Gu Wenxuan suddenly remembered that he shouldn't talk to her like that, so he said seriously:
"I called you here to ask you a favor?"
Chen Sijia was still in her YY and thought that the little spy was going to say something ambiguous to her. She felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "What are you asking me for? Don't be too excessive!"
Gu Wenxuan was stunned. He didn't know what Chen Sijia meant by this. He just asked her to be a Chinese manager for his company. What was so excessive?
"I just want to hire you as a company manager. Didn't you grow up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? You are familiar with the people in these places, so I want you to be the Chinese manager of the stock and securities company I recently established! You are also the deputy general manager of the entire company. The general manager of the company is an American!"
"what?"
Chen Sijia actually misunderstood Gu Wenxuan, and her face turned red like a monkey's butt for a moment.
But she was also wondering when Gu Wenxuan went to Shanghai to register a stock investment company.
"Hey! Gu Wenxuan, when did you register your company in Shanghai? How come I didn't know about it?
Aren't you the director of the Special Operations Department in Peking? Do you have time to come to Shanghai to take care of your business?"
"Didn't I just come to Shanghai yesterday? I found the address of this company and registered the company name. Today I called you and asked you to be the manager of my company. I'm being nice to you, right?"
"What's so good about it? You just captured me and made me work for you!"
"I'm going to give you a high salary, so don't make it sound like I'm exploiting you."
Chen Sijia pouted: "I'm not short of money, I don't have to work, and I can still live a carefree life!"
Gu Wenxuan: "Then why are you still working for the Military Control Commission? You are risking your life!"
Chen Sijia quickly raised her finger to her lips and said, "Shh! Keep your voice down. There are spies everywhere in Shanghai. Be careful when you speak!"
"I work for the Military Control Commission, but it's for the revolution! I serve the country! I don't care about the salary!"
Gu Wenxuan pretended to be impatient: "Just tell me whether you will come to work in my company or not, don't waste your time talking nonsense!"
"Come on, come on. Who says you can't come? But I want double the salary!"
Gu Wenxuan stared at this unlucky Chen Sijia with wide eyes: "Why do you want double salary when everyone else gets one salary?"
Chen Sijia said proudly, "Look, the general manager you hired is a foreigner. I have to work here, and at the same time I have to monitor with you whether these foreigners have falsified accounts to get your money! I have to work hard both mentally and physically, and if you don't pay me double the salary, do you think you are worthy of the sisters who have been through life and death together?"
Gu Wenxuan looked at Chen Sijia who was flapping her lips and really wanted to pinch her face.
"What do you want to do?" Chen Sijia asked vigilantly as she looked at Wenxuan's hand as if he was going to twist her.
"It's okay, I saw a mosquito on your face, I want to knock it off for you!"
As soon as Chen Sijia heard it, she knew that Gu Wenxuan was lying.
"Nonsense! It's the first month of the lunar year. Where do the mosquitoes come from?"
"Okay, you asked for too high a price, and I want to beat you up!"
After hearing what Gu Wenxuan said, Chen Sijia laughed frivolously: "I don't want more from you, 1 yuan a month is enough!"
Gu Wenxuan opened his eyes wide and looked at Chen Sijia:
"Chen Sijia, you are not worthy of being a friend, you are asking for too much!
I asked those who recruited workers and they only paid a few dozen dollars a month. Even if we hired a professional manager, it would only be 1 to dollars a month. You are asking for dollars a month. It is too cruel. It turns out that the children of capitalists are just as cruel! "
After hearing what Gu Wenxuan said, Chen Sijia was unhappy:
"Xiao Xuanxuan, I'm not happy when you say that. How much gold and silver did you get when you defeated the leader of the independent regiment last time?
Don't think I don't know. I went through life and death with you. Did you ever share any money with me? I didn't say anything. Now I'm asking for some salary, but you're still blackmailing me. Do you think this is fun?"
As she spoke, Chen Sijia seemed to be moved and tears began to fall.
Gu Wenxuan had no idea why Chen Sijia was crying.
He quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you 1 yuan a month, but you can't tell anyone that I only pay that foreigner 1000 yuan a month!"
Hearing that Gu Wenxuan agreed to give her a monthly salary of 1 yuan, Chen Sijia burst into laughter. She was not happy to get 1 yuan, but that Gu Wenxuan agreed to his request, which showed that she still had him in her heart.
"I won't tell anyone else, I'm not stupid.
But I will never let you regret it. Give me a salary of 1 yuan. Do you know that I have acquaintances in the Shanghai Stock Exchange? I can give you some inside information and let your stock price rise sharply! "
"Really? Then I have to thank you, old man?"
"That's not necessary. I have high hopes for you. When you make money, just give me more pocket money!" Chen Sijia said with a giggle.
"Hey, seriously, Chen Sijia, aren't you going to Peking?"
Gu Wenxuan asked.
"I'm not going to Peking. I was originally going to Peking on a temporary assignment!"
"Are you still at the Shanghai Military Control Station?"
"Why are you investigating me, little spy? I know you are a traitor working for the Japanese. Do you believe I will arrest you if you investigate me like this?"
"Tsk, that requires you to have the ability. Can you catch me? Believe it or not, I will take you to that dark place and keep you there for 10 days or half a month. You won't even have a place to cry!"
Chen Sijia said to him fiercely: "How dare you! If you arrest me for no reason again, I will settle the score with you when I get out!"
The two talked for a while, and when they had almost finished their coffee, they prepared to go back!
Gu Wenxuan waved to a waiter to come over and settle the bill.
The waiter of the coffee shop came over with a smile and bowed to him respectfully: "Sir, two cups of coffee total 50 dollars! Thank you!"
When Gu Wenxuan heard this, he said: This is worse than gangsters. Two cups of coffee cost 50 yuan, and their cost is definitely not more than one yuan!
Chen Sijia looked at Gu Wenxuan and knew that he thought it was too expensive, so she smiled secretly.
Although Gu Wenxuan thought the coffee here was too expensive, he couldn't lose points, especially in front of Chen Sijia, otherwise she would laugh at him for a long time.
He took out a $100 bill and put it on the waiter's tray: "Do you want dollars?"
"If you want it, take it!" said the waiter with a smile.
"Just take it if you want. I don't have any money on me today, only US dollars and British pounds!"
The waiter said, "Okay sir, wait a moment, I'll go get your money right away!"
Gu Wenxuan waved his hand and said generously: "What are you looking for? The rest will be given to you as a reward!"
The waiter was so happy. This hundred dollars could be exchanged for at least 250 silver dollars, but the other party only used 50 silver dollars, and the remaining 200 silver dollars were given to him as a reward. He hadn't met such a generous customer in many years.
Judging from his accent, he is not a local. He should be a wealthy man from other place!
"Thank you sir, thank you miss!"
