Chapter 786: Ninety World Cup(1/2)
Qin Shujie did not come to Shanghai in person to handle the procedures for Qianbaidu Angel Investment Company.
She mobilized staff to form a seven-member management team, led by Mei Yutong, and dispatched the company's lawyers to be solely responsible for signing contracts.
Mei Yutong will not stay in Shanghai to work for a long time. She is now one of Qin Shujie's right-hand men and one of the company's deputy general managers responsible for all aspects of work.
The person who has the closest relationship with Qin Shujie is not Mei Yutong, but the five retired female soldiers headed by Qin Zhaodi. They are literally by Qin Shujie's side all day long.
They are not only Qin Shujie's personal bodyguards, secretaries, and life assistants, but also bear the task of conveying Qin Shujie's instructions to the outside world.
Because it was already March after returning from Taiwan, Qin Shujie gradually couldn't hide her belly.
Of course, Qin Shujie refused to appear in public. Domestic matters were handled by the general managers of each unit. If she couldn't decide, she would ask Huang Han for instructions.
The United States has its own responsible team for affairs. Shen Xiaorong and Shen Xiaofeng can also participate in decision-making. She can listen to reports on the phone.
Qin Zhaodi and the others took care of Qin Shujie's food and daily life in every possible way. They were somewhat similar to the personal maids who followed the housewife in ancient times. Their loyalty was unquestionable.
This is really human nature. People with high academic qualifications often have high aspirations.
Qin Shujie, Mei Yutong and other senior executives, middle-level cadres, and employees with diplomas from prestigious universities cannot get along with Qin Zhaodi.
Serving people? Taking care of food and daily life? For these people, it is simply a great humiliation!
However, Qin Zhaodi and others are completely different. I think back when they served as guards for the leader, they were responsible for taking care of the leader and the food and daily life of his family.
They think this is part of their job and there is nothing to feel wronged about.
They all joined the army after graduating from junior high school and failed to enter the military academy.
Qin Zhaodi and others have no academic qualifications. They only have military skills but no work skills. They are almost like apprentices with Qin Shujie.
They all knew that if they did not get the opportunity to work for Qin Shujie, they would most likely go home to work in the fields and get married.
I don’t know how many years of work it will take to achieve a well-off life.
After following Qin Shujie, the family entered a well-off life that year. Their monthly income can equal the monthly salary of four or five county magistrates. Of course, they cherish their current job very much.
Qin Shujie was not only very kind to them, but she also never bossed them around. They even went to the table to eat together, and Qin Shujie even liked chatting while eating.
I remember when I was the leader's security guard, the leader was always approachable and did not let Qin Zhaodi and others have dinner with the leader's family!
Of course Qin Zhaodi and the others fell in love with the home atmosphere created by Qin Shujie!
Qin Shujie used to eat casually and quickly, but now she likes to chat during meal time. This is completely influenced by Huang Han who loves to brag at the dinner table.
Since Qin Shujie still kept in touch with Shen Xiaorong once or twice a week, Shen Xiaorong didn't notice anything strange.
Qin Zhaodi was very tight-lipped and didn't even reveal anything to Miss Qin.
The other four life secretaries around Qin Shujie all knew that Qin Shujie was pregnant and knew that it was conceived using scientific methods. They did not and did not need to know who the ethical father of the child was.
They all heard Qin Shujie say with their own ears that she did not want to get married or become a man's accessory, but she really wanted to have her own biological flesh and blood, so she underwent artificial insemination.
The only company executive who knew about Qin Shujie's pregnancy was Mei Yutong, and it was Qin Shujie who took the initiative to tell her.
Mei Yutong didn't make a fuss. She had been following Qin Shujie for several years. She used to go on business trips with Qin Shujie often, and the two of them shared a hotel standard room many times!
She had heard Qin Shujie's remarks about her unwillingness to be a man's accessory so many times that this thought affected Mei Yutong, which directly caused her to reject male chauvinism. Her two love relationships failed because she was too self-centered.
But Mei Yutong is an executive of a multinational company with more than 1,000 employees. She is a real strong person, and there is no way she can pretend to be a weak woman who loves others!
Ever since, Qin Shujie's cycle of death repeated itself for Mei Yutong.
Mei Yutong likes the capable and strong man, but he cannot accept her who is equally strong.
Mei Yutong looked down upon a young man with average abilities.
A man who eats soft food? In Mei Yutong's eyes, he cannot be considered a human being.
Therefore, after Mei Yutong learned about Qin Shujie's "artificial insemination", she was most looking forward to Qin Shujie getting a healthy and lovely child!
Qin Shujie succeeded, which means that she can take this path when she has to!
At the end of April, Shen Xiaorong called, and Xiao Qiang answered the call.
Xiao Qiang was the most lively, and nine out of ten calls to Xiaoyanglou were answered by her. Lu Yao and Huang Xin were too lazy to move, so they all answered the phone passively.
I don’t know if Xiao Qiang did it on purpose or not to give Huang Han the phone number.
She not only asked Shen Xiaorong a series of questions, but also talked to Zhang Chunmei for a while. Finally, Zhang Chunmei asked Xiao Qiang to hand the phone to Huang Han and said that Shen Xiaorong had something serious to do.
There were people around them listening, so they couldn't whisper. Shen Xiaorong had no choice but to get straight to the point. She asked Huang Han:
"The odds for this year's World Cup in Italy have been released. Have you decided which team to win?"
"Ah? It's been ninety years, and the sun and the moon are flying by so fast!" Huang Han was filled with emotion at this moment.
"Geez... look what you said, if I hadn't known that you are actually a month younger than me, I would have thought you were an old-fashioned man!"
Huang Han thought to himself: I am almost as old as you in my two lifetimes.
Huang Han was twenty years old when the World Cup was held in 1990 and had been working for four years. However, he could not remember who won the championship, but he clearly remembered the dark horse Cameroon team that became famous in the opening game.
Later, newspapers euphemistically called it the "African Lions." Colleagues at work began to speculate on how far the Cameroon team could go. Some even predicted that they would enter the semi-finals or even win the championship.
This is completely a psychological reaction to watch the excitement and not be afraid of the big deal!
The Football World Cup has nothing to do with the Chinese, it doesn't matter who wins the cup.
But if someone who should least deserve the trophy wins the World Cup, it will be great fun!
When the Cameroon team failed to reach the quarterfinals, colleagues were in awe.
Huang Han can feel that he has gradually affected some things, but since he has never been involved in sports, let alone football, it stands to reason that the World Cup should remain the same.
He tentatively asked: "Is there a Cameroonian team from Africa among the participating teams?"
"Yes! Not many people in this country know about it, so why do you ask about it? You don't think that the Cameroon team can win the championship, do you?"
"Hey! It seems you have made a decision. Who do you think can win the World Cup?"
"Of course it's the last champion Argentina team. I like Maradona. Do you know? The opening game is Argentina against Cameroon!"
"Hahaha..." Huang Han laughed, this was completely consistent with history.
He asked: "Who do you think will win the opening game?"
"It must be the Argentine team. I guess it should win by a big score."
"Why do you see it?"
"I guess the host committee deliberately selected a weak team for the opening match in order to widen the score. The more goals in a football match, the more interesting the match will be."
"Then take a look at the odds offered by William Hill for the opening game."
"The odds of Argentina winning, losing, and drawing are..."
"I don't need to know the odds of Argentina, I just need to know what the odds are if Cameroon wins."
"It's seventeen times. I'm afraid no one is willing to buy the Cameroon team to win, and there are certainly not many who are willing to buy a draw."
"We don't have to worry too much. We bet 10 million US dollars on Cameroon to beat Argentina in the opening game, and another 10 million US dollars on Cameroon to reach the quarterfinals."
"Are you so optimistic about the Cameroon team?"
"Is it useful to be optimistic about the Argentine team? I'm afraid I won't be able to double my bet if I win."
"You can't bet on Cameroon, which you have never heard of before. You can bet on goal difference!"
"Don't worry, in two months, the Cameroon team will bring you unexpected surprises. Then you will remember that there is such a small country in Africa."
"Why don't you bet more if you are so optimistic? I only need three days to mobilize at least 50 million US dollars."
"Don't be too greedy. If you bet too much, accidents may happen."
"why?"
"Rong'er, you're here again. Didn't we agree not to always ask why when it comes to intuition?"
"But I'm curious!"
"The bet is too big, and if someone can't afford to lose, it may be a foul."
"No way! William Hill is a well-established gaming company with a high reputation."
"Come on! You can only listen to the credibility of capitalism. They all want money and are shameless. They can't afford to lose and they love cheating the most."
"Giggle..., I listen to you, just bet like this, bet 20 million U.S. dollars, and if you win, you will make a profit of 250 million U.S. dollars minus tax deductions!"
"Yes! Why are you still greedy when you can win so much?"
"The results haven't come out yet, who can say who will win or lose?"
"When have I ever lost?"
"Giggle..., because you are a victorious general, that's why we listen to you! Somehow, I don't feel much about betting 20 million now."
“You’re so big-hearted!”
"Alas! It seems that the most dissatisfying thing is that people's hearts are indeed true."
"Where does this sigh come from? People are always making progress, constantly challenging themselves, and constantly strengthening themselves. This is a normal phenomenon."
"Okay, okay, I'm here to teach you, no more chatting. Goodbye."
