Chapter 130 Money Really Doesn't Go Far Away
Shen Wancheng's words were too obvious, but they were also reasonable, since this was an internal company matter.
But her bluntness made her seem a bit distant.
After all, Shen Yao and Zhou Yunqing in the private room were each other's relatives, while Wen Nan was an outsider, but Wen Nan happened to be Shen Wancheng's future mother-in-law.
Shen Wancheng's words seemed to be meant only for Wen Nan's ears.
Zhou Yunqing stood up at the opportune moment.
"I haven't been to the city center in a long time. Let's go for a stroll with Wen Nan."
He then pulled Wen Nan outside.
After leaving the club, Wen Nan's expression was still not good.
Zhou Yunqing advised, "You are usually very open-minded, don't get stuck on this."
Wen Nan glanced at Zhou Yunqing.
"You've turned your heart away now, and you're no longer on my side?"
"Then I'll go in and give Shen Wancheng a piece of my mind."
Zhou Yunqing made a move to enter the club again, but Wen Nan grabbed her arm.
"Come back, you know I was just saying that."
Zhou Yunqing looked at Wen Nan with a smile.
"You should live the same way you did before. I think it's best if you do nothing."
Wen Nan sighed.
“I always thought that after Jinxing got married, he would get along well with his wife, and that would also help him get closer to his son.”
“I understand what you’re thinking, but I think you’re being a bit too hasty. You don’t even know the state of Shen Wancheng’s relationship with Gu Jinxing, nor do you know Shen Wancheng’s personality. You’re going to start dating Shen Wancheng like this, and you don’t even know if she likes you.”
"Take what just happened, for example. Based on my observations over this period of time, Shen Wancheng is not an unapproachable person, but she rejected you very decisively just now. Why? I think it's because she saw through your intentions. You two are not related, and she is unwilling to act as a mediator between you and Gu Jinxing."
Wen Nan listened to Zhou Yunqing's words without saying a word.
Zhou Yunqing continued, "You know me, I only care about people, not reason. I'm saying this from your perspective because I'm afraid you'll do too much and cause trouble. I'm not speaking up for Shen Wancheng."
Wen Nan's expression softened somewhat.
"You're right, I was blinded by my own involvement."
Zhou Yunqing was afraid that Wen Nan hadn't figured things out yet, so she offered a few more words of advice.
"So, just do your job. Like just now, your intentions were good, but Shen Wancheng refused. People who don't know the situation will just think that Shen Wancheng is being unreasonable. If this happened elsewhere and it got out, people would criticize Shen Wancheng, and in the end, the root of the problem would fall on you. Isn't that a case of doing good but getting bad results?"
"From what I've observed, your son Gu Jinxing truly cares about Shen Wancheng. Don't let this actually make your relationship with him even more distant."
Wen Nan nodded.
"You're right, I was too attached to appearances. Let's go shopping."
"Ah."

Only Lan Qin, Shen Wancheng, and Shen Yao remained in the tea room.
Lan Qin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to get involved in Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan's affairs.
People, no matter who they are, generally dislike outsiders interfering with and lecturing them on how to conduct themselves, based on their own experience.
Especially for people with independent thinking, they have long since formed their own set of principles for dealing with the world, and cannot be persuaded by outsiders with just a few words.
Everyone has their own way of living.
Lan Qin was very perceptive in these matters, so she didn't bring up what had just happened and went straight back to the topic of salary.
"I don't have any special requirements for salary, just do what you plan."
Shen Wancheng said with a smile.
"Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. No matter how close we are personally, we still need to clarify financial matters beforehand to ensure a good relationship can be maintained in the long run, don't you think?"
Lan Qin smiled too.
"I really don't know how you can be so insightful at such a young age."
"No matter what I do, you can always find a way to praise me."
"I'm just telling the truth, please continue with the important matter."
"it is good."
Shen Wancheng suppressed her smile and said seriously.
"My compensation package for you consists of a base salary plus performance-based bonuses plus company stock."
"The basic salary is 20,000 per month..."
"Need not...."
Shen Wancheng saw that Lan Qin wanted to refuse, and she could guess that Lan Qin might think that she was being too forward, but Shen Wancheng didn't let her say it.
"Please let me finish what I have to say."
"it is good."
Shen Wancheng continued.
"The basic salary here is 20,000, which includes your fee as a designer and management fees. I know that you usually charge much more than this for making a cheongsam. We have already said that we want to cooperate for a long time, so you don't need to give us a discount."
"Because the clothes you make are definitely of the highest standard in our company, the price will also be the highest, and you will definitely receive a performance bonus."
"As for giving you 5% of the original shares, you know that Dongfang Yasong has just been established. As a core member of the company, this is what you have earned. At the same time, this is also my promise to this entrepreneurial team. I will not treat any of the people who started this business with me unfairly."
Lan Qin had always wanted to repay the kindness, and having lived to her age, she had long since become indifferent to money, so her original plan was to ask for no money or just a symbolic salary.
Because Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao helped her out of the shadow cast by Li Gang and revitalize her sect, Lan Qin felt an immense debt of gratitude.
It's far more than a few words of thanks or giving Shen Yao a sect identity to repay her.
But since Shen Wancheng had already put it that way, Lan Qin had no choice but to agree.
"Alright then. We'll do it your way."
Although Lan Qin agreed to the request, she was already planning what to give as a wedding favor for Shen Wancheng.
Because she and Shen Wancheng are not related, she cannot be considered Shen Wancheng's maternal family, so she can only send generous gifts under the guise of adding to the dowry according to ancient customs.
When Shen Yao gets married in the future, as Lan Qin's junior sister, Lan Qin can become Shen Yao's maternal family and prepare a dowry for her.
Shen Wancheng was unaware that Lan Qin was already considering these things.
Shen Wancheng was in a good mood after successfully arranging Lan Qin's work and salary.
Shen Wancheng is very generous to those around her or those who follow her.
There's a saying that "great rewards will always attract brave men," and it's not just about attracting brave men, but also about making people more loyal.
The substantial benefits offered are not just about profit, but also a form of trust and appreciation.
Shen Wancheng was well-versed in this.
Therefore, whether it was Li Su or Lan Qin, Shen Wancheng offered them great benefits and trust, but in return, she gained their loyalty.
Zhou Yunqing and Wen Nan returned before midnight.
After returning, Wen Nan didn't say anything to Shen Wancheng again, but instead they had a pleasant lunch together.
In the afternoon, Lan Qin invited Shen Wancheng to go with her to some veteran craftsmen's homes to collect fabric.
Shen Wancheng told Lan Qin that she would leave all these matters to her, as she had other things to attend to. She also transferred HKD 10 to Lan Qin for her to use as she saw fit.
So they split up and got busy in the afternoon.
Shen Wancheng sighed to herself on her way to the Xu Group to sign the contract.
Money really flies. The original ten million plus the money she raised by selling stocks, totaling HK$1547 million, will only leave her with HK$5 after the acquisition contract is signed.
