Chapter 295 - Janet Picks Up Something Odd



Chapter 295 Janet Picks Up Something Odd

With that in mind, Su Yang looked at Pan Zhaodi.

Pan Zhaodi was slumped in her chair, writing and noting things down in her notebook while keying things into her phone. She looked like she was planning Su Yang’s schedule on her phone against the recorded itinerary and plans.

Seeing that Pan Zhaodi was busy, Su Yang got up and said to her, “I’m going out to take a call.”

For Su Yang, everyone was equal, and it’d be normal if Pan Zhaodi stayed here while he went out to take a call.

As a result, Pan Zhaodi stood up in a hurry and said to him, “Mr. Su. You make the call in the house. I’ll go out and wait for you. Just call me after you’re done.”

After saying that, she stepped out of the basement with her slender legs and closed the door behind her, standing guard in front of it for him after the door was closed.

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Ahem, this is too ‘polite’.

‘She doesn’t just look like a secretary but is also a bodyguard.

‘With Pan Zhaodi’s skills, I’ve really landed the jackpot this time.’

While the thoughts ran through his mind, Su Yang put Little Deeny to his ears, wanting to talk to Janet.

Janet didn’t have a cell phone. Instead, Su Yang gave him a bone conduction headset so they could communicate through Little Deeny.

Su Yang asked, “Janet, do you have any special items with you?”

Indistinguishable from a woman’s voice, Janet spoke through the received, “My Lord. Little Hus and I have searched all over Shanghai and haven’t found what you need.”

“Haven’t found any, have you?”

Then, Su Yang told her about his previous experience looking for one, “I couldn’t find any in the city in the past as well. However, I found some in out-of-the-way places. You might find some there if you try.’

Janet replied, “We did find something in a small shop in the middle of nowhere. However, it might not be what you want, Lord.”

Su Yang didn’t understand what Janet was trying to tell him. “What do you mean?”

Janet explained, “Although we didn’t find the item that you were looking for, my Lord, we found another item that can be used together to have the same effect.”

Su Yang asked her to proceed, “Continue.” Janet continued, “We searched for a long time and couldn’t find something that could directly locate them so we changed our thought process. My Lord, since you have the (Fruit-loving Fountain Pen), you actually only need to know the names of those three people to find their addresses.

“So I went along with that idea and found something… It’s a phone booth.”

Su Yang was surprised. “A phone booth?”

Janet confirmed. “Yes, a phone booth.”

Janet added, “It’s an old abandoned phone booth that seems to be covered in dirt. Little Hus took a whiff and said it had a strong scent.”

“I’m looking for a vehicle to transport it to you.”

‘Although I don’t quite understand what a phone booth and a person’s name have to do with one another, special items had too many of these quirky properties.’ Su Yang said, “Alright, see if you can find a car to transport it over here. If you can’t find any, I’ll come to get you.”

After they stopped conversing, Su Yang received a message from Janet. [I paid five times the price to a person and used my appearances to convince him. Finally, I succeeded in getting us a car.” After hearing Janet’s progress report through Little Deeny, Su Yang shivered. ‘Janet using her appearances, acting cute to get a car… That’s not an image I want in my mind.’

After dealing with Janet’s matter, Su Yang called Pan Zhaodi in. Once she walked into the basement, Pan Zhaodi still acted like a competent female secretary. She brought out a notebook and said to Su Yang, “Mr. Su, I’ve made a list of your plans for tomorrow. I hope you’ll be able to make a decision.”

After seeing Su Yang nod, she said, “You don’t have any meetings or work that you have to do tomorrow. There are four other arrangements you can choose from.

“One. ‘Fighting Buddha’ will officially begin shooting tomorrow. There’ll be a small opening ceremony at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow but no media will be present. It’s just to be festive. Both Producer Zhao and Producer Chen Xiaoyun would like you to attend this ceremony.”

“Two. The legal department of Qidian E-Commerce has already sorted out the documents for the health care company. The healthcare product company is ready to operate, and they’re asking about the next step you have in mind.”

“Three. Today, the Find Me App’s (Hundred Days of Stars) campaign has officially started, and Director Li Zijun wants you to take a moment to have a look. She wants your opinion and has already sent a list of details over.”

“Four. The second quarterly report of Qidian E-Commerce has been prepared. It requires your to attend to it.”

After saying that, Pan Zhaodi put down her notebook, crossed her hands over her flat belly, and stood straight in front of Su Yang. “Finally, there’s a personal matter. Your coach told me to tell you that there’s an exam this Friday. I’d suggest you hurry up and study for

it.”

“Coach… An exam?” Su Yang was a bit confused.

Pan Zhaodi explained, “The driving instructor. Section one.”

Su Yang: was speechless.

‘I’ll go! I forgot I signed up for driving school.

‘Turns out I didn’t even take the test! I thought I’d gotten my license!’

Su Yang mulled it over. ‘Forget about the opening ceremony for ‘Fighting the Buddha.’ I don’t have much time lately from the leaked information.

‘I should also proceed with the healthcare company. I should rent a space and let the three people leave the milk tea shop for testing and research. Then, once we apply for the relevant approvals, we can begin production.

‘Has the (Hundred Days of Stars] actually started? That was fast! i’ll take a look later. After all, this is the first time my company is conducting a large-scale promotion.

‘As for the quarterly reports, I’ll have a look at them later. Last quarter was just a month ago so there shouldn’t be any surprises.’ Once he was done thinking about it, Su Yang told Pan Zhaodi his decision. “Refuse the invitation to the opening ceremony. Then, look into renting a space that’s suitable for research and development for the healthcare company. I’ll recruit some people to start our efforts in R&D once that’s done.

“As for the Find Me app’s affairs along with the second quarterly report for Qidian E-Commerce, pass me a copy of those on WeChat, and I’ll take a look at it later.”

After saying that, Su Yang looked at the time and estimated that Janet would be back soon. “That’s it. Thanks for the hard work. You can continue your work at home. Just handle some of my chores for me.

“I’ve got something else going on right now, so you can get off work.”

Pan Zhaodi had the qualities an excellent secretary should have. She didn’t even hesitate or ask Su Yang what he was going to do next after he spoke to her about his decision. Instead, she merely bowed. “Okay, Mr. Su, see you tomorrow morning.”

After saying that, she left the basement.

At this time, Su Yang realized that they had been talking about these things in a stuffy and humid basement. Su Yang was in a trance, and thought that he was sitting in the business building in the central downtown business district of Shanghai, chatting with Pan Zhaodi.

After all, she was a little too professional to even bat an eyelid at things like this.

After Pan Zhaodi left, Janet soon returned to the basement while carrying an old phone booth. Naturally, it attracted the curious eyes of many of the older ladies in the neighborhood.

After all, a beautiful foreign woman carrying an abandoned phone booth was a strange scene to behold no matter how you sliced it. This was gossip fodder for the old ladies as they chatted about it.

“Ouch. Look at this foreign girl carrying a phone booth.”

“Yeah, looks like life abroad isn’t so good after all.”

“It isn’t. It’s really hard.”

“It’s better in my own country.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

After Janet moved the abandoned phone booth in, Su Yang took a look at it and realized that it was an open phone booth. It had a semicircle on top with an eggshell-like cover covering the front, a telephone inside, and an arm-thick pole on the bottom like a shorter but thicker streetlight.

The phone booth looked rusty all over and even the paint was falling off. It was tattered as could be and was covered in dirt and filth. He didn’t know where Janet picked it up. It was no wonder nobody asked about it. After all, it looked like trash and nobody would’ve bothered even if it was stolen.

When Su Yang finished measuring the booth, he looked at Janet and Little Hus who was covered in dirt. He said, “You guys go wash up. It’s been a hard day for you guys.”

Janet replied without hesitation, “It’s my honor as your subordinate to bow and scrape for you, my Lord.”

Little Hus, on the other hand, was lying in Janet’s arms. It was starry-eyed and didn’t have time to pay Su Yang any heed. He seemed to have become a nymphomaniac.

After sending them both back to the virtual space, Su Yang took a look at the phone booth in front of him and contemplated.

‘Can this phone booth let me know the name of other people?

‘Do I call the other person and ask them?’

After thinking for a moment, Su Yang decided not to think so much about it. After all, time was running out.

He opened the system without hesitation, and a translucent [+] suddenly appeared on top of the dilapidated phone booth.

Su Yang extended his hand and tapped the [+] above the phone booth.

With a flicker of light, the point addition was completed

Every time he added a point to an item for the first time, this would happen. Su Yang was now used to it.

After adding the point, Su Yang took out the (Small Bench That Refuses To Eat Melons] from the virtual space and sat down. Popcorn, coke, melon seeds, and watermelon appeared at his feet. The watermelon and coke were actually chilled as well. ‘In this kind of hot and humid weather, I should eat a piece of watermelon to cool off.’

Although Su Yang rarely enjoyed eating watermelons, he still picked up the slice of watermelon and nibbled on it.

As he nibbled on it, Su Yang brought Little Dee out and opened WeChat. Pan Zhaodi was worthy of being called a competent secretary. She had already sent over the two documents Su Yang wanted to see. Su Yang looked at the first one. It was the quarterly report of Qidian E-Commerce.

After all, only 30 days passed from May 29th to June 30th when Su Yang took over Junqing.

During those 30 days, Qidian E-Commerce ran with an overhead of 1.3 million yuan. From that, more than 800,000 were labor costs while the remaining 400,000 or so yuan were operating expenses.

The revenue was almost negligible.

For this report, Su Yang actually had a prediction in mind. Apart from the 800,000 or so worth of salaries, the 400,000 or so worth of operating expenses were mainly for the maintenance of the company’s relationships so he could ‘inherit’ Junqing. There was no need to spend that much in the future.

So, it was understandable to spend so much money in the first month.

The lack of revenue was expected as well. After all, it was a quarterly report, and it ends in June.

A month’s time was just spent setting up the company so having no revenue was something rather normal. Su Yang recalled having a look at the account earlier. The company began having some revenue channeled into the accounts in July. Else, Su Yang wouldn’t be able to randomly transfer 500,000 yuan without worrying about the company being under-capitalized. At this moment, the toughest days have already passed and the future seemed bright. After reading the quarterly report, Su Yang signed the electronic document to confirm that he had taken a look.

He took a glance or two at the phone booth and saw that the interface hadn’t appeared yet. So, he opened the second file to look at it.

The second file was filled with information regarding the [Hundred Days of Stars).

Su Yang had actually been paying a lot of attention to the (Hundred Days of Stars] event.
