YM778.TV Chapter 159 - 159: How Much Did We Earn?
[Slacking Employee #1:1 heard that the actress of the goddess is the Second Madam! Is it true? Is it true?]
[Slacking Employee #2:1 have the same question!]
[Receptionist: I think so. After all, the make-up of the goddess was very different. Although they’re the same person, I feel like the goddess is a little prettier…]
[Slacking Employee #3: The Huo family is a noble family. Why did the president allow his wife to enter the entertainment industry? Look at how different Madam Huo is. I really don’t understand why the president would marry such a woman! ]
[Slacking Employee #4: Hahaha! Are you jealous? Are you dying from anger because you failed to marry the president? Hahaha! The president doesn’t even know you exist. Even if he doesn’t marry Second Madam, he still won’t marry you!]
[Slacking Employee #5: Don’t say anymore. I’m sitting next to her. Her expression is extremely ugly now! Hahaha!]
Lin Xiaowan was quickly brought to Huo Zheng’s office by his assistant.
The receptionist on Huo Zheng’s floor saw Lin Xiaowan, and her eyes lit up immediately.
There were also a few secretaries and assistants on the floor, and their number was small.
Fortunately, they were seated a distance away, and Lin Xiaowan could avoid the awkwardness of having to greet everyone. Nonetheless, she was still very very tense. She could feel everyone’s burning gaze when she walked past. She heaved a sigh of relief when she finally entered the office. She felt as though she was a thief sneaking into Huo Zheng’s office, trying to avoid being discovered.
The assistant coughed lightly and said, “Second Madam, what would you like to drink? President Huo said the weather is still cold so you can’t drink cold drinks. How about some warm milk?”
‘Who would drink warm milk at this hour?’
“No,” Lin Xiaowan said before asking, “What else is there? I want to drink lemonade.”
The assistant said sympathetically, “Hot lemonade won’t taste good. Are you okay with that, Second Madam?”
“Can’t I have it at room temperature?” Lin Xiaowan asked in shock.
‘Why must it be hot?!’
“Room temperature is still quite cold so…” the assistant said, looking helpless.
Lin Xiaowan pursed her lips. If she had a tail, it would droop in disappointment at this moment.
The assistant suggested, “What about some hot milk tea?”
Lin Xiaowan nodded. “That sounds good. Is there anything to eat? Chips? Some other snacks?”
The assistant looked at Lin Xiaowan meaningfully, and she wilted immediately. She understood. Huo Zheng had already instructed the other party not to give her any snacks.
After the assistant left, Lin Xiaowan punched the soft pillow angrily to vent her anger.
‘This is outrageous! Huo Zheng is too stingy!’
Lin Xiaowan felt like fainting from her anger. Huo Zheng had always paid attention to her diet since she was a little weak. If she ate too much, it would cause indigestion and flatulence. In short, she had stomach problems so he paid more attention to her diet. Not long ago, he coaxed her into agreeing to only have cold drinks during summer. In a moment of confusion, she had promised him. After that, she really regretted it. She wanted to break her promise several times after that but failed to find a chance to do so. Now that she thought about it again, she really wanted to bite him in anger.
‘How can I only be allowed to drink cold drinks in summer?! Ahhhhhh!’
After the special assistant served the milk tea, she tasted it. She was rather satisfied. Due to how delicious it was, she soon forgot about her anger.
At this moment, the phone in her bag, which had been casually tossed aside, rang once. Before she could retrieve her bag, it rang again.
Lin Xiaowan found it strange. After all, her social circle was very small. She usually did not receive many calls. Soon enough, she discovered it was Zhu Yingyue.
Zhu Yingyue was the one who opened the dessert shop with Lin Xiaowan, and she was in charge of the operation of the shop and capital management.
“Hello, Sister Zhu. Is everything okay?”
Zhu Yingyue laughed when she heard Lin Xiaowan’s voice. She said, “I just transferred the dividends to you. Did you receive the message from the bank yet? Guess how much we earned last quarter?”
Lin Xiaowan had no concept of this at all. However, based on Zhu Yingyue’s tone, it seemed like they had earned a lot. She asked, “200,000?”
“The turnover is 2.93 million.”
Lin Xiaowan thought she had misheard Zhu Yingyue. “Sister, did you mistakenly add another zero? We just opened the dessert shop not long ago Moreover, 1 remember the turnover last time was not even a fraction of this, right?”
Zhu Yingyue said happily, “With you as a living advertisement, how can we not make money? Moreover, how can that be considered a lot? One of your limited edition bags or your haute couture dresses probably cost much more than that…”
Lin Xiaowan felt embarrassed when she heard these words. She only said sheepishly, “Is that so…”
Zhu Yingyue was in a good mood. Now that she was making money, she also had much more confidence. She no longer had to bow her head and asked for living expenses from her cheating husband. She had gained the confidence to live independently. With a little more time, when she had more chips in her hand, she would definitely get a divorce.
“I wonder if you’re free? I want to treat you to a meal. What do you think?”
“That sounds good! However, I can’t do it today. 1 have plans today. Why don’t we do it on another day?”
“Okay! Think about what you want to eat!”
After ending the call, Lin Xiaowan’s smile did not fade. She opened the message on her phone, and when she saw the amount of money she received, her eyes widened. Her mouth was also so wide open that it could fit a duck egg. ‘There’s more than 700,000 yuan! Am 1 going to be rich? Is this the feeling of making money? 1 can’t believe I made this money on my own!’
Huo Zheng’s last-minute meeting ended quickly. When he walked into the office, he saw Lin Xiaowan curled up on the couch with a shocked expression on her face. As he walked over, he loosened his tie. There was no need to be too formal since they were going to eat.
“Qingqing, what are you looking at?”
Lin Xiaowan was startled by him. When she recovered, she jumped up and hugged him as she said excitedly, “Huo Zheng! I made money! I made money!” Huo Zheng did not forget to praise her first before asking questions.. “Qingqing is really amazing!”
