The man recited my background in detail. He got 99 percent correct. The 1 percent was my rebirth that no one knew about. I nodded. “Sir, your work is very detailed. Nanxing is quite flattered.”
His gaze on me became more gentle. “Flattered? Not offended?”
I smiled happily, “Why should I be offended? First, I live my life openly. Secondly, Sir must have valued me greatly to look into my life with such detail. That means I am quite important so I am naturally flattered.”
His gaze softened further.
“I heard that you’ve even started your own company in your spare time. You specialize in backtracking, economic analysis, and resource integration. You even provide headhunting services.”
I nodded. “Sir, you’ve done a lot of research. Yes. If you have any interest to do business with us, we welcome it. I am sure you’ll be satisfied by the result.”
“We? There is more than one of you?” He focused on the things that interested him.
I nodded. “Yes, there is a team.”
“How many people are there?” He raised his eyebrows. He was intrigued.
I raised and shook my fingers. “Three.”
“Three?” He was surprised.
I said proudly, “Quality over quantity. One of us is a student of business management, she is very good at resource integration. Me and my friend are computer science majors. We do very good economic analysis. Sir, what is your need? How can we help you?” I assumed that this man sought me out for my service. That way I also felt less pressure.
He did not answer me but instead asked, “Why did you start this company? Are your two friends short on money? But why do you need so much money anyway? You’re just university students.”
I nodded. “We need both money and working experience in preparation for our lives after graduation.”
He was puzzled. “With your family background, why do you need to prepare after graduation? Even if you don’t work, your little uncle should be able to look after the three of you for life. Furthermore, I heard that your boyfriend is Master Qi. So a life of luxury shouldn’t be an issue for you even if you don’t work.”
I picked up the tea and took a sip. “But why should I let them pay for our lives? We can look after ourselves. When my friend earned her own money for the first time in her life, she was very happy. She said that if her family knew about it, they would be shocked. We work because it confirms our values.”
“Why would your friend’s family be surprised that she knew how to earn money on her own?” The man was very good at finding key points that interested him in my illogical narration.
“My friend is born with a silver spoon. After she has tasted everything life had to offer, she was bored. She needed to find her own life value. Coincidentally, I needed a partner so she joined us. With her addition, our company grew.”
I saw there was a faint smile on the man’s lips.
“Sir, if you still have doubts about our capability, feel free to look into our past cases! We will do our best to fulfill your request.”
I recommended him our services because this was a safe topic. The man appeared intrigued by the description by my company’s workings too.
