Chapter 55 – Director Li: Isn’t it still his after all?
Opening a shop was quite a temptation for Director Li.
It was not just about money.
The children in the orphanage had also grown up gradually, and their employment had become a heartache for her. After all, some children only had a high school or even junior high school education.
It was becoming increasingly difficult to gain a foothold in society.
There were more and more college students now, and academic qualifications were becoming more and more important. But there was no other way. After all, the children in the orphanage did not have the supervision of their parents, and it was already the hard work of Director Li that they didn’t learn bad things.
Teaching them one by one? Director Li didn’t have this ability.
If he could open a store without knowing how much money he could make. At least they could work part-time in the store, learn how to do business and learn some dessert-making skills.
There is always a way out in the future.
…
After roughly agreeing to open a store, Qi Yun and Director Li argued again.
To be precise, Director Li was confused by Qi Yun.
“You are saying you will pay for everything and still want to give us shares in the orphanage?” Director Li’s eyes widened.
She initially thought Qi Yun said he would invest in opening a store for the orphanage.
It meant opening a store by himself, and the children in the orphanage would go there to work. That way they could earn some salary. In this way, Director Li was delighted.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yun would still give shares to them!
“Director, this is the business of the orphanage. Of course, there must be a share for the orphanage!”
Qi Yun didn’t think this dessert shop’s shares were a big deal. Regardless, he had made a firm decision. He believed that this dessert shop would incur losses and demand constant capital infusion from him.
What’s the big deal about having shares in a money-losing store?
If it weren’t for fear of scaring Director Li, Qi Yun would even give all the shares to the orphanage!
Based on his understanding of his frugal system, Qi Yun believed that the rebate should be related to the share ratio of the orphanage.
If Qi Yun invested 100,000 yuan and the orphanage acquired one-tenth of the shares, he could receive a refund of one-tenth of the investment, amounting to only 10,000 yuan.
In the end, the rebate he got was only 100,000 yuan.
Thinking about it this way, Qi Yun decided he must give the orphanage shares and give more!
“But we didn’t pay for it!”
Although I don’t know how to do business, your designation is wrong! Director Li thought.
“Ahem, Director Li, you don’t understand. These are management shares! Think about it, do all listed companies have to give management shares? This way, talent can be retained!”
To convince Director Li, Qi Yun began to fool around.
Director Li couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling, saying, “It’s a publicly traded company with a highly competent management team. Our orphanage has only a dozen people…”
“You shouldn’t say that!” Qi Yun asserted earnestly. “Director Li, although the children in our orphanage may not be considered talents yet, isn’t the purpose of the orphanage to nurture and develop them into talents? Right now, we should regard them as talents and make them feel valued!”
Director Li was stunned. She gazed at Qi Yun, her eyes gradually welling up with tears.
What a selfless young man this is!
She turned her head and looked at Lian Qingxue beside her, “Qingxue, if you dare to offend Qi Yun in the future, don’t come back to the orphanage!”
Me? Me?
Lian Qingxue blinked, feeling like she was being tricked by Qi Yun again.
I went a bit too far with my persuasion. Does this count as pleasing the mother-in-law? Qi Yun thought to himself.
Director Li reluctantly accepted a 50% share at Qi Yun’s insistence.
They drafted a simple contract, and Qi Yun left the orphanage, dreaming of exploiting the benefits of his system.
…
After Qi Yun left, Director Li called Lian Qingxue to the office.
“Take this share certificate.” She gave Lian Qingxue the 50% shareholding contract left by Qi Yun.
“Director?” Lian Qingxue was puzzled.
“From now on, you will own half of the orphanage’s shares,” Director Li said.
“???” Lian Qingxue was shocked.
“Qi Yun may be generous, but we, as the orphanage, can’t take advantage of others without a guilty conscience. We shouldn’t accept this share,” Director Li explained.
“Huh? Then why are you giving it to me?”
“The shares belong to you. After you marry Qi Yun and be part of his family, won’t it still belong to you?”
“…”
Lian Qingxue blushed.
“On the other hand, as a representative of the orphanage, I also want you to communicate with Qi Yun. Let’s work together to make this store successful. He’s helping us, and we can’t let him suffer losses,” Director Li said with a slight headache. “Qi Yun is such a generous and thoughtful child, but his way of doing business won’t work. He will listen to you the most, so it’s best if you go.”
Lian Qingxue bit her lip and nodded slightly.
That night, Lian Qingxue sat in her room thinking and writing late at night. The desk lamp illuminated her handwritten draft, revealing a line of words.
“Development plan for the Dessert Shop.”
