Chapter 19: I’ll give you half of the shares

The end of the month arrived quickly, and Qiao Shuyi made her official decision – to try her luck at Sheng Yu’s media company first.

Sheng Tang was delighted by this.

Qiao’s father and Qiao’s mother, as always, supported her decision.

Sheng Tang had taken over the company for a few days now, serving as the CEO. She originally planned to make Qiao Shuyi her deputy general manager, but after considering the company’s current situation, she changed her mind.

This media company is called Shengxing Media, which Sheng Yu casually invested in and established a few years ago.

However, due to the massive scale of the entire Sheng Shi Group, involving industries like military, medical, finance, real estate, and more, a small media company was not enough to attract his attention.

He entrusted Shengxing to his subordinates and rarely inquired about it, only checking the financial statements at the end of the year.

Initially, Shengxing developed quite well, generating considerable profits each year. However, in recent years, Shengxing’s earnings have been declining, and this year, it even started to operate at a loss.

Sheng Yu originally planned to shut it down at the end of this year, but Sheng Tang had just graduated from college this year and couldn’t find a job, so Sheng Yu gave her Shengxing to practice with.

The original CEO of Shengxing was a man named He Zhou. After Sheng Tang became the CEO, he stepped down to the position of deputy CEO.

Although Sheng Tang seemed carefree on the surface, she wasn’t a fool.

She inherited the genes of the Sheng family, so she wouldn’t be that bad.

After taking office, she quickly discovered something was wrong. From He Zhou, the deputy CEO, to the ordinary employees, everyone in Shengxing pretended to be respectful to her on the surface, but they were secretly disobeying her, a nest of vipers.

She could clearly feel that these people were hiding something from her. She wanted to investigate secretly, but her identity was too obvious. As soon as she made any move, her subordinates would react.

Under these circumstances, Sheng Tang desperately hoped to have someone she trusted in Shengxing to help her infiltrate the enemy’s ranks.

But she hadn’t found the right person yet.

Now, the opportunity had come.

After listening to Sheng Tang’s explanation, Qiao Shuyi nodded thoughtfully: “So… you mean, I should hide my identity, go undercover as an intern, and help you investigate the problems in Shengxing?”

“Yes. Once we get rid of all these pests, we’ll manage Shengxing together. Don’t worry, I won’t let you work for nothing. I’ll have my brother give you half of the shares.”

“It’s not impossible…”

Having lived two lifetimes, Qiao Shuyi still didn’t know what it was like to be an intern.

She could consider it as gaining some experience.

Under the operation of Sheng Tang and Sheng Yu, Qiao Shuyi soon received an offer from Shengxing.

The moment she opened the offer, she felt like her vision went dark.

A monthly salary of five thousand, and only four thousand during the internship period.

Working hard for a month, and it wasn’t even enough to buy her a new outfit.

That was fine.

She could accept that.

But what was this “single day off” situation?

Working six days a week and only getting one day off?

Qiao Shuyi felt her vision go dark again.

She took a screenshot of the offer and sent it to Sheng Tang, circling the words “single day off.”

[Mr. Sheng, is this reasonable?]

Soon, she received a reply from Sheng Tang.

Just a simple word: Change!

After a while, Sheng Tang sent another message: [By the way, Bao, remember to dress low-key when you go to work tomorrow, drive a slightly cheaper car, remember, you’re just an ordinary intern from a simple family!]

A cheaper car?

Qiao Shuyi frowned and fell into thought.

She had a dedicated Panamera, which she drove most often. It was a birthday gift from Qiao’s father for her eighteenth birthday.

That car was worth millions, definitely not suitable.

Qiao Shuyi considered all the cars in her family and finally settled on the housekeeper’s grocery shopping car – a BMW worth over two hundred thousand.

This was good.

…

Early the next morning, Qiao Shuyi got up early, applied delicate makeup, and then chose the cheapest handbag from her collection.

After breakfast, she drove the housekeeper’s grocery shopping car to work.

Shengxing was quite far from her home, about forty minutes by car. If she encountered traffic jams, it would easily take an hour.

On her first day of work, Qiao Shuyi encountered a traffic jam.

Fortunately, she woke up early, so even though she was stuck in traffic for a while, she didn’t arrive late.

After arriving at the company, she first went to the administrative office to report and complete the onboarding procedures. Then, she was taken to meet her direct supervisor – the manager of the business department, Song Qingyi.

Song Qingyi was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, slightly overweight, and gave off a friendly vibe.

After briefly introducing her to the situation of the business department and the work content, Song Qingyi took her to the office area.

“You’re coming at a good time. Our department used to have a single day off, but today the boss said that we’ll all have double days off from now on.”

“Really?” Qiao Shuyi touched her nose and chuckled: “Then I’m quite lucky.”

Sheng Tang’s efficiency was quite high.

The business department’s office area was located at the southernmost part of the third floor, with over ten employees sitting in the open office area, working diligently.

Song Qingyi clapped her hands, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Everyone, pause your work for a moment, I’m introducing a new colleague to you.”

Then, she pointed to Qiao Shuyi beside her: “This is our department’s new intern, Qiao Shuyi.”

“Welcome, welcome!”

“Qiao Qiao, this is your workstation.”

Song Qingyi led Qiao Shuyi to her workstation. A young girl wearing headphones poked her head out to greet her: “Hi~”

Song Qingyi introduced: “This is Chen Yue, she’s been working at Shengxing for almost three years, she’s your senior, I’ll let her guide you, you can ask her if you have any questions.”

“Hello, Sister Chen Yue, I’ll rely on you in the future.” Qiao Shuyi quickly smiled and greeted her.

“No problem.”

After the introductions were over, Song Qingyi left. Qiao Shuyi sat at her workstation and logged into her WeChat on her computer.

Sheng Tang’s message came quickly: [Bao, did the onboarding go smoothly?]

Qiao Shuyi replied with a [Pretty smooth]

Sheng Tang: [Then you just blend in for now, tell me if anything happens.]

Qiao Shuyi: [Ok]

The morning passed quickly. Qiao Shuyi looked at the materials Chen Yue gave her, and before she knew it, it was noon.

The colleagues around her put down their work and stood up one after another, preparing to go for lunch.

Just as Qiao Shuyi was wondering how she should eat lunch, someone patted her shoulder from behind.

She turned around and saw that it was Chen Yue.

“Let’s go, let’s go for lunch together.”
