Chapter 322 - Knock Shenhua out of the Market! (1/2)

Pei Qian did not know how to react.

My fan? Why am I famous even among people in the investment industry?

He Desheng was obviously excited. “Boss Pei, I used to be Boss Li’s investment assistant. From time to time, I would hear about you from him.

“Be it Fish-Catching Internet Cafe or Ming Yun Villas’ nameless restaurant, your investments proved to be textbook-worthy successes! It’s worth spending a few years fully digesting and learning these lessons!

“Whenever Boss Li talks about you, he seems to have a telepathic connection with you. That’s why I did not hesitate to apply when I heard that you were looking for an investment consultant.

“I did not come here for money but purely to learn your profound investment knowledge!”

Pei Qian finally understood.

This fellow had been infected by Boss Li!

However, on further thought, this was not bad for Pei Qian.

Since He Desheng came with the intention to learn, he would not ask too many questions or offer too many opinions.

Pei Qian subtly cleared his throat. “Let’s not talk about the past. That was all pure luck.

“Your job would mainly involve helping out with various procedures whenever Boss Ma requires it in the future. Also, you should not interfere with Boss Ma’s thought processes and investment decisions.”

He Desheng quickly nodded. “I understand! It’s more than enough for me to learn the ways of investment from the two big bosses. I only have basic and superficial investment knowledge. I wouldn’t dare to show off in front of both of you.”

Pei Qian was extremely pleased with He Desheng’s attitude.

Very good—this young man knew his limits very well.

You just have to steadfastly act as a tool, and I will pay you as much as I can. It’s a win-win situation! How great!

Pei Qian thought that this applicant was not bad, and he was just about to seal the deal.

However, Ma Yang had been flipping through He Desheng’s resume. At that moment, he softly said, “Brother Qian, how can he be my investment assistant? He isn’t even an investment manager. He has too little experience. Can we find someone else?”

Pei Qian was speechless. “…”

This Old Ma!

You got distracted, yawned, and remained silent while the guy had been introducing himself. Now that we’ve almost settled everything, you’re picking on his resume?!

Yet, Pei Qian had no other choice. He wanted Old Ma to fully display his intelligence and talents. He could not force things on him.

If Old Ma did not like He Desheng and ended up not trusting him, Old Ma might end up looking for his own investment consultant in secret. Then, Pei Qian would have a bigger problem on his hands.

After all, this man would be Old Ma’s investment assistant. Pei Qian had to spare a thought for how the latter felt.

However, Pei Qian had no idea how to persuade Ma Yang. He could only turn to He Desheng and ask, “Well, do you have any other merits? Please explain your strengths to us.”

He Desheng had thought that he had already secured the job after seeing Pei Qian’s expression. He did not expect to be put in a spot again.

He quickly listed in detail the decisions he had been a part of in Fu Hui Investments and the results he had achieved.

Pei Qian did not understand him the entire time. He stole a glance at Ma Yang and realized that the latter still looked unsatisfied.

Of course, Ma Yang definitely did not understand He Desheng either. He was only upset because he thought an investment assistant was too lowly-ranked.

Pei Qian began to regret it. If he had known this would happen, he would have replaced the words ‘investment assistant’ on He Desheng’s resume to a higher position like ‘investment manager’.

Seeing that Ma Yang remained unconvinced, Pei Qian quickly dropped He Desheng a hint. “You can talk about your other interests and strengths as well. Do you sing, dance, or write? What kind of games do you normally play?”

He Desheng scratched his head, puzzled.

After a moment of silence, He Desheng tried asking, “Does it count if I have a total of 1900 points on Gods Rising’s PvP platform?”

Ma Yang immediately made up his mind. “Good! Brother Qian, he’s the one!”

Pei Qian was speechless. “…”

He had never thought that this would be the thing that changed Ma Yang’s mind. The points a player had on Gods Rising’s PvP platform were indicative of the player’s standard. Ordinarily, people with 2000 points and above could be considered professional gamers.

If He Desheng really had 1900 points on the platform, it meant that he could easily defeat ordinary players even with his eyes closed.

A formidable player with 1900 points could definitely buy Ma Yang over… right?

It was no wonder that Ma Yang had made up his mind at once. He had been won over by these 1900 points.

Although this was preposterous, Pei Qian decided that this was the ending he wanted.

As long as Old Ma was happy with the investment assistant Pei Qian wanted, the latter could not be bothered about the process.

All Pei Qian cared about was that Old Ma could call the shots and lose all the investment firm’s money. Then, everything would be alright.

Pei Qian was very pleased. “Alright, I will leave Dream Realization Ventures to both of you, then. If you need anything, call me. Don’t be shy to tell me whenever you’re in need of money.

“Also, Old Ma, remember the investment secrets I imparted to you before.” Ma Yang nodded profusely. “Don’t worry, Brother Qian! Leave it to me! I’ll get it done!”

Pei Qian turned to face He Desheng. “How much did Fu Hui Investments pay you?”

He Desheng hesitated and said, “Boss Pei, I already said that I’m here to learn your profound investment knowledge. As for salary… I wouldn’t mind even if you just give me a token sum.”

Pei Qian waved his hand. “Just tell me the truth. How much did they pay you?”
