Chapter 535 — Young Master Bing Has Arrived
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Young Master Bing says the company this time was funded entirely by you personally, so he's prepared to award you twenty percent of the shares and appoint you general manager. From now on you'll work for Young Master Bing. Any objections?" Li Cihua asked.
Jin Gubang was stunned. Shares for him? And general manager? This was a good thing, wasn't it? True, being rewarded with shares in a company he had paid for himself was a bit much. But circumstances forced a man's hand, and to be treated like this at all was far beyond Jin Gubang's expectations.
Besides, he had been swept out of the Gu Group by Gu Pengzhan, and the client relationships he had built there were now all but useless. He had no capital left either; a comeback was essentially impossible.
And yet Zhao Qibing had actually given him a chance — a genuine, unexpected delight. What was more, working under Zhao Qibing had its advantages: with such a powerful patron behind him, the company was bound to thrive.
At the very least, Li Cihua was now on his side of the line — both of them working for Young Master Bing. His own standing would rise with the tide, and then he would settle scores with Gu Pengzhan.
"Young Master Bing! You're really too good to me. I, Jin Gubang, am no good with words, but I will work hard and never betray the trust you've placed in me. I'd dash out my brains and spill my blood without a moment's hesitation!" Jin Gubang clenched his fists, feeling that life was once again full of hope.
"Enough. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking — you want to use my strength to grow the company, and then take revenge on Gu Pengzhan, don't you?" Zhao Qibing said mildly.
"That... Young Master Bing, I never meant that..." Jin Gubang's heart lurched. He had assumed this Young Master Bing was nothing but a spoiled rich kid; he had never expected such sharp insight — to see through his thoughts in so short a time.
"Whether you meant it or not, you know best in your own heart!" Zhao Qibing curled his lip. "But you needn't be afraid. I like my subordinates to have ambition, and I'm happy to watch you use the power I give you to destroy your enemies. What I want is your loyalty! So long as you're loyal to me, I can give you what you want!"
"Yes! Young Master Bing, rest assured, I will do whatever you assign me!" At this, Jin Gubang gritted his teeth. "I am a dog at your side, Young Master Bing. Whomever you tell me to bite, I'll bite!"
Though saying such a thing was somewhat self-debasing, Jin Gubang had thought it through: finding such a patron had not been easy, and whether he prospered in the future depended entirely on Zhao Qibing.
Zhao Qibing nodded in satisfaction. "All right. Since we're all family now, no need for formalities. Eat what you like, drink what you like, and let's discuss the company's development together."
"All right!" Jin Gubang was still somewhat nervous and uneasy, unsure whether what Zhao Qibing had said earlier was a test or sincere, and so did not dare to commit himself lightly.
