A life of financial freedom

Zhong Rou took the subway back to the dormitory. Jiang Jiaqi was applying a facial mask and asked, "Hey, Rou Rou, weren't you out for a social engagement? Why are you back so soon? You spoke to Manager Shi like that, and he still took you to a social event? That doesn't make sense."

Zhong Rou lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and told her everything that had happened that evening in detail.

"No wonder..." Jiang Jiaqi suddenly understood. "Manager Shi is too insidious, actually resorting to such underhanded tactics."

After a pause, she said, "Rou Rou, with something like this happening tonight, I'm afraid your job is gone."

"Whatever," Zhong Rou didn't take it to heart.

If she wanted to find a job, she could easily find one. Even if she couldn't, she could live well by doing some small business.

She had that confidence.

She sighed, "Why is it so difficult to just have a normal job?"

She suddenly realized that working for someone was more difficult than running her own business.

When running her own business, she had choices, but when working for others, under someone else's control, she had to endure a lot of pressure and do things she didn't want to do.

"That's just how work is," Jiang Jiaqi said. "None of us are born rich. If we had a choice, who would want to work?"

Zhong Rou sat up. "No, I have to change my work style. I have to start my own business."

Jiang Jiaqi: "Start a business?"

"Yes!" Zhong Rou nodded. "I want to establish my own company, a company responsible for investment, stirring up wind and clouds in the financial market. I want to become a financial magnate."

During this period, Zhong Rou had put in a lot of hard work and knew some of the inside workings and experiences of financial companies. Although she still only understood a tiny fraction, she couldn't wait until she had prepared everything completely before starting a company. That wasn't ideal.

After so many years of doing business, she understood one thing: it was impossible for a person to be 100% prepared for everything in the future.

... ...

The next day, Zhong Rou and Jiang Jiaqi arrived at Qifu Venture Capital. As soon as they entered the company, they saw Director Li and Manager Shi standing there.

Manager Shi's tone was full of smugness: "Zhong Rou, I'm officially informing you that you've been fired."

As he had expected, Zhong Rou had a fiery temper. Facing unreasonable clients, she couldn't suppress her emotions and would clash with them, so Director Li wouldn't protect Zhong Rou.

"How is the compensation calculated?" Zhong Rou wasn't surprised.

"You offended the client, and our company lost business. You still want compensation?" Manager Shi jumped up. "Dream on!"

"Then I'll go to the arbitration committee."

Manager Shi wanted to say something, but Director Li raised his hand and then said, "Zhong Rou, I'll give you a chance. If you personally apologize to the client and get their forgiveness, I won't fire you."

"No way."

The word 'apologize' didn't exist in her dictionary.

Zhong Rou's life philosophy was, if I'm wrong, why are you watching me do wrong? No, it's not my fault, why should I apologize?

If I'm not wrong, if I haven't done anything wrong, why should I apologize?

"I remember you're Zhong Rou's friend, right?" Director Li turned to look at Jiang Jiaqi. "I'm very sorry, but you're also fired."

Jiang Jiaqi opened her mouth wide: "Ah?"

She didn't expect to be implicated.

Zhong Rou frowned tightly: "You guys are insidious enough."

"That client is very important to our company," Director Li said with a serious face. "Please, for the sake of the company and your friend, apologize to the client."

But Zhong Rou still gave the same answer: "I refuse. Fire me if you want, that's your right, but compensation is your obligation. Transfer the compensation money to our cards, otherwise I will find an arbitration institution."

After speaking, Zhong Rou went into the company to pack her personal belongings.

Jiang Jiaqi knew that she had been implicated by Zhong Rou, and she also knew her friend's temper. Once she had made up her mind, even nine bulls couldn't pull her back.

Knowing that there was no turning back, she sighed and had no choice but to pack her personal belongings and leave with Zhong Rou.

The two packed their personal belongings and then left the company.

Manager Shi had an uncontrollable smile on his face and said, "Zhong Rou, this is the first lesson I'm giving you in entering society. You have to learn to bow your head."

"I can't lower it even a little bit! Not everyone can lower their head to their crotch like you. That's also a kind of ability, amazing!" Zhong Rou gave a thumbs up. "If you were born in ancient times, you would definitely be good at being a male prostitute."

Pfft... ...

The people in the office couldn't help but laugh.

After speaking, Zhong Rou and Jiang Jiaqi left Qifu Venture Capital, holding cardboard boxes.

Manager Shi's face was livid. He looked around, and the employees in the department stopped smiling.

Manager Shi said in a deep voice, "I'm telling you, in the company, you have to know your own position. You better be clear about what position you're in, otherwise your fate will be the same as Zhong Rou's!"

Seeing Manager Shi enter the office, many colleagues whispered:

"The male prostitute is angry."

"The male prostitute has a small mind and can't tolerate others saying a few bad words."

"Alas! I feel so sorry that Rou Rou left."

"That's right, with Zhong Rou gone, there will be no one in the department to attract the male prostitute's fire, and it will be our turn next."

"What's the point of working this crappy job?"

"No point!"

"... ..."

Zhong Rou and Jiang Jiaqi went downstairs holding the boxes. The former looked back at the building and made a promise: "I will never work for anyone again in this life!"

She had tasted enough of the feeling of working under someone else.

Jiang Jiaqi said with a wry smile, "Rou Rou, you can still do small business if you don't work, but if I don't work, I can't even afford to eat."

"If I had known, I wouldn't have hung out with you, so I wouldn't have been implicated."

"From now on, we're really not familiar."

Zhong Rou withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's go."

"Where to?" Jiang Jiaqi asked.

"I got you fired, it's my fault, I'll find you a job." Zhong Rou hugged the cardboard box and didn't get on the subway, but headed towards another high-rise building.

"Ah?" Jiang Jiaqi was surprised.
