Chapter 1040 — Wu Chengtian Returns
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Brother Chengtian, hello!" Xiao Wangba was overjoyed to receive Wu Chengtian's call. The Xiao family's situation was far from ideal at present; if the Wu family could lend a hand now, they might yet avoid being struck from the rolls immediately! Especially since the Wu family's Old Master Wu Gonggao had broken through to the mid Mystic Rank, with Earth Rank in sight — at a time like this, the Wu family's word carried real weight!
"Mm. The matter I entrusted to you — how is it coming along?" Wu Chengtian naturally knew nothing of the Xiao family's troubles. In truth, the whole Wu family had been busy with Old Master Wu Gonggao's affairs lately, and had no mind to inquire after anyone else's business!
And with Wu Gonggao having just broken through, the Wu family was busy spreading the news — who had the leisure to listen to word of others?
"It's all taken care of. The company is registered, we've leased office space, and the staff have all been hired. It's just that we're newcomers to Songshan City with no client resources to speak of. The company's been open for days now, and not a single client has come knocking!" Xiao Wangba said.
Trading companies in Songshan City were as numerous as hairs on an ox. To open for business and then sit back waiting for clients to come to you, without going out to drum up trade, was sheer fantasy!
But Wu Chengtian did not care about that. Whether there were clients, whether it turned a profit — none of it mattered! With Wu Gonggao's breakthrough this time, Wu Chengtian had, quite naturally, applied for and received a hefty sum of woman-chasing funds! The old master's sole wish now was for Wu Chengtian to bring Sun Jingyan through the Wu family's gates as his wife! That would advance the Wu family's standing another step!
So the company Wu Chengtian had opened was purely for showing off. All he wanted from it was the title of general manager! As for whether the company made money or lost it, he did not much care!
He had been practicing his showing-off lately, and he felt he had gotten rather good at it! That meal with Feng Xiaoxiao earlier had opened Wu Chengtian's eyes. So this was what girls liked these days — boys who knew how to show off! So it was only by showing off that one could be admired!
Wu Chengtian had found his shortcoming, and so he set about correcting it with haste. This company was the first step in his showing-off plan! He needed a status on equal footing with Sun Jingyan. Sun Jingyan had a company of her own and could count as a boss — so if he wanted to pursue her, he had to be a boss too!
And the second step was to invite Wei Zhao, Feng Xiaoxiao, and Sun Jingyan to dinner together. Not only could it make Sun Jingyan see Wei Zhao for what he was, he could also show off his skills at the dinner table. That Feng Xiaoxiao was quite good at playing along with his showing off — two birds with one stone!
"Whether the company makes money doesn't matter. I've brought back ten million in woman-chasing funds this time. Just keep the company running as it is — if the money runs short, tell me anytime!" Wu Chengtian said indifferently.
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Wangba was delighted. Earlier he had been racking his brains over how the company was supposed to make money — after all, Wu Chengtian had asked him and Xiao Wangdao to set it up, and if it failed to turn a profit, he feared Wu Chengtian would be displeased! But now it seemed Wu Chengtian had no intention of making money at all! That made things easy — just keep the company open. With no business, Wu Chengtian would still pay the staff's wages, and he himself had it much easier!
