Chapter 149 Investing in Wang Boyu: An Opportunity to Cross Social Classes?
"We can't go astray; what if my wife runs off with someone else?"
Sirius sensed the teasing in Jiang Chengcheng's words and started joking back.
"Who's your wife? It's not even close to happening yet! What if I meet someone better and change my mind? I might just dump you." Jiang Chengcheng blushed deeply when she heard Sirius's teasing on the phone, clearly demonstrating what it means to try to steal a chicken and lose the rice instead.
"It seems I still need to work harder to satisfy my Chengcheng, otherwise I'll have nowhere to cry if someone else replaces me." Although Sirius could tell that Jiang Chengcheng was joking, he couldn't help but feel nervous while playing along.
"How come I never realized you were so shameless? I'm hanging up now!" Jiang Chengcheng blushed and her heart pounded as she listened to Sirius's increasingly outrageous words and quickly ended the call.
……
the next day.
Jiang Chengcheng received a reply from Xiaoshan early in the morning.
Because they weren't in a hurry, the other party simply sent a text message.
Just as Jiang Chengcheng had expected, the text message revealed that those people did indeed sneak back to the breakfast shop at 1 a.m. that night, intending to burn it down.
Xiao Shan, following Jiang Chengcheng's orders, did not intervene when the thugs first started making their move. Only after they lit the fire did he step in and subdue them.
The proprietress, busy preparing breakfast for the next day, didn't even hear a sound, and the matter ended just like that.
Upon seeing the text message, Jiang Chengcheng yawned and then called Xiao Shan back.
"Hello? Captain Xiao, how are those people? Have they been taken to the police station?" Jiang Chengcheng asked in a lazy tone.
“They’ve already sent him to the police station. Because they specifically instructed me to do so, they’ll give him at least seven years in prison,” Xiao Shan replied.
"That's fine then." Thinking of the evil deeds of these people in their past lives, if they were let off the hook in this life just because no murders have occurred, there might be other victims in the future.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chengcheng thought for a moment and went to the breakfast shop. Since it was a holiday, the owner's son, Wang Boyu, was also helping out at the shop.
Upon seeing Jiang Chengcheng, the proprietress greeted her with a broad smile.
"Girl, you're here? Please sit down! Tell me what you'd like to eat!" The proprietress quickly cleared out a table for Jiang Chengcheng to sit down.
Because it was close to the Chinese New Year, many middle-aged and elderly people came to Boss Jiang's shop to have breakfast, and the surrounding tables were almost full.
"No need to trouble you, ma'am. I already ate when I arrived. I came today to discuss something with you and your son. Let's talk about it after you're done with this. I'll just wait here. There's no rush," Jiang Chengcheng said, grabbing a stool and finding a quiet spot.
"Well... okay then, you wait a bit, I'll be done soon." The proprietress replied apologetically, looking at the people queuing outside.
After a while, most of the people in the shop had left, and the proprietress finally had some free time. Instead of packing up, she sat down with her son in front of Jiang Chengcheng.
"Miss, what brings you here this time?" The proprietress, having heard Jiang Chengcheng's previous words, seemed to have something to say, so she got up to pour Jiang Chengcheng a cup of hot water and asked.
"Boss lady, I've learned a bit about your family's situation. I have a deal to make, I wonder if you'd be interested?" Jiang Chengcheng said with a smile as she took the water glass.
"A trade? What kind of trade?" The proprietress and Wang Boyu were both puzzled when they heard this. What did they have that they could exchange with Jiang Chengcheng?
After what happened yesterday, the proprietress had a feeling that this little girl's background was not simple.
"Simply put, I value your son's future potential. I can cover his tuition and living expenses, which is like investing in him in advance."
In exchange, he will work for my company for 10 years after graduation. His salary will be no less than the basic salary for someone in the same profession. Other benefits will be increased according to his abilities. Don't worry, the five social insurances and one housing fund are standard. What do you think?" Jiang Chengcheng looked up and secretly observed the expressions of the two men.
"This? How can I accept this? I can support Xiaoyu myself! You're already doing me a favor by offering him a job after he graduates!" The landlady was at a loss for words when she heard Jiang Chengcheng's words.
Judging from her expression, it wasn't that she disagreed, but rather that she felt Jiang Chengcheng was being taken advantage of.
"Why? Am I... am I really worth it?" Unlike the landlady's bewilderment, Wang Boyu looked completely lost.
That expression seemed to ask, "Is it really worth investing in me? What do you have that you'd want?"
"Boss lady, this is not charity, it's an investment. Since it's an investment, there are gains and losses. I will bear all these risks, so you don't need to feel indebted to me. However, in return, if Wang Boyu doesn't come to work for my company after graduation, he will also need to face corresponding huge compensation. I will write this clause in the contract."
Whether or not to accept the investment is your choice.
Furthermore, Wang Boyu, you must believe in yourself. Since I was able to choose you from among millions of people to invest in, it means that I see value in you that is enough for me to be willing to take the corresponding risks! Go and pre-plan your future.
Also, you need to know that the investment I'm talking about is a different concept from your mother supporting your education until you graduate from university.
For ordinary people, graduating from university does not mean a turnaround in life, but rather the beginning of another kind of exploitative life.
"My investment is a ladder for you and your mother to climb from one social class to another. Whether you want to take that ladder or not is entirely up to you!" Jiang Chengcheng said without looking at the proprietress, her eyes fixed on Wang Boyu sitting opposite her.
Looking at Jiang Chengcheng in front of him, Wang Boyu felt as if a tidal wave was surging in his heart.
The eyes opposite him were like a bottomless abyss, inspiring both fear and longing. The fear stemmed from the unknown future and whether he truly had the capacity to accept it all.
The desire is even simpler and more direct. No one at the bottom of society would not want to change their life and cross social classes, especially when this opportunity is right in front of them!
Wang Boyu, you have to believe in yourself. The fact that I was able to choose you out of millions of people to invest in means that I see value in you!
Jiang Chengcheng's words seemed to be deeply etched in his mind, constantly echoing in his ears.
Can I really do this?
Do not!
Do not!
I can do it!
After an unknown amount of time, when Wang Boyu looked up again, the confusion in his eyes had completely disappeared!
This is his only chance to change his utterly terrible life!
"I promise you! I will show you my worth!" Wang Boyu's expression was more determined than ever before.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengcheng smiled and replied.
"Then I'll wait and see."
Many years later, when Wang Boyu recalls this conversation, he still feels grateful, lamenting that if he hadn't met Jiang Chengcheng, he doesn't know where he would be living as an ordinary person, doing ordinary things, and then passing away his days...
