89 Arrival (2/2)
Xiao Luo shook his head and refused, ”Mr. Chu, although this sounds like a pretty good offer, I wish to start my own career.”
A job and a career were two very different concepts. The former was bound by the boss, whereas in the latter scenario, a person was their own boss.
Chu Yunxiong laughed and said, ”Outsiders often comment that my eyes are very good at spotting gems, just like Monkey Sun's fiery eyes. Well, they're not wrong. I do agree that I'm a pretty accurate judge of character. Your carefree and confident attitude is not something often seen in regular people. You're young, and you have your own ideas and persistence. I really think quite highly of you.”
Xiao Luo remained silent. Big bosses had their ways around things. After talking so much, they were able to make people feel like they were in the clouds while still keeping their intentions hidden.
”As I said earlier, and I'm sure I've told you before, I will give you the challenge and freedom you want. You won't be reporting to me. If you accept this offer for Luo's Workshop, you will become the company's official owner,” Chu Yunxiong said.
Luo's Workshop's official owner?
Xiao Luo's heart fluttered slightly, and he glanced quickly at Chu Yunxiong, waiting for the businessman's next move.
”I'm only in charge of salary matters. You'll just need to give me 20% of the total profit every year, and that's enough,” Chu Yunxiong said, looking at Xiao Luo and smiling.
”Mr. Chu, then that would make you no different from a shareholder. You singlehandedly took over Luo's Workshop, and you…” Xiao Luo reminded Chu Yunxiong, although he clearly already knew this.
Chu Yunxiong waved and interrupted him, ”I'm a businessman, but I'm also a father. You did a good job of protecting my daughter. As repayment, as long as it is within my means, I will try my best to support you. Luo's Workshop is my way of demonstrating my sincerity.”
Xiao Luo finally understood what Zhang Dashan had meant. Once you were well-acquainted with Chu Yunxiong, your struggles for the next ten years would be severely lessened.
He then said, ”I need some time to think about this!”
Of course, he would need to consider the proposition carefully. Chu Yunxiong had just pushed an enormous slice of cake his way, but he would need to consider whether he had the appetite to eat it. It would be very embarrassing if he could not swallow it.
”Alright. You have three days to consider my offer.”
Chu Yunxiong was very generous and patient with Xiao Luo. ”Once you agree, I will remit 10 million to Luo's Workshop as funds for subsequent operations. As for whether Luo's Workshop will be able to expand beyond Jiangcheng, that will depend on your ability.”
Xiao Luo nodded to show that he was clear on the terms proposed.
After talking to Chu Yunxiong, Xiao Luo stood up and took his leave. As a huge player in the shopping mall sector, the fact that Chu Yunxiong looked so highly at him and had confidence in his abilities made Xiao Luo really grateful. He also sincerely admired Chu Yunxiong for being a self-made legend.
Sitting at the bottom of the steps, Xiao Luo watched the rain and frowned. He disliked rainy days, especially on days like this, which were a little bittersweet. He flagged down a taxi and headed for the house that he had rented for around five hundred and fifty per month.
Just as he was about to step into the taxi, Chu Yue emerged from her red BMW 3 Series.
Chu Yue saw Xiao Luo climbing to the taxi, so she rolled down her car window and shouted to him loudly, ”Pretentious D*ck!”
Why is she here? Xiao Luo whispered to himself.
He pretended that he had not heard anything and shouted at the taxi driver, ”Drive!”
