E-Ladies: Navigating the Wired World-Chapter 73 - Episode 73 Pies Really Do Fall from the Sky

After hanging up, Zhou Xueyin was still immersed in a state of disbelief.

“Yinyin, what did Sister Chunming want? She didn’t find us another job that’s more trouble than it’s worth, did she?” Kang Siyin frowned.

“I don’t think that’s it, look at Yinyin’s expression…” Lee Jixiang bent over and stared at Zhou Xueyin.

“Yinyin? Yinyin! What’s with you? You went silly just from a phone call?” Yao Shanshan waved her hand in front of Zhou Xueyin’s eyes.

“I…” Zhou Xueyin took a deep breath, “What I’m about to tell you, don’t get too excited!”

The three of them nodded cluelessly, unaware of what Zhou Xueyin was leading up to.

“Sister Chunming said she wants to invest 300,000 in our forum!” Zhou Xueyin exclaimed, her eyes shining.

“…” The three were stunned when they heard this news.

It felt like they were dreaming. One second they were worried about the funds for moving offices, and the next, a huge pie had fallen from the sky.

And this wasn’t just any pie painted to stave off hunger; it was a real, substantial pie that would completely revitalize their company.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!” Kang Siyin screamed unusually.

“Yay! We’ve got money! We’ve got money!” Lee Jixiang jumped around the room.

“Really? Really? Jixiang, kk, pinch me. It feels so unreal,” Yao Shanshan pinched her own face.

“Calm down, calm down, the people downstairs might come up soon…” This time, it was Zhou Xueyin’s turn to calm the others down.

“What did Sister Chunming say? How did she suddenly decide to invest in us?” Lee Jixiang grabbed onto Zhou Xueyin’s arm, still in disbelief.

“Sister Chunming just said that she quit her job to go solo, and the clients who followed her want to invest in promising projects, so she recommended us…” Zhou Xueyin repeated Jiang Chunming’s words.

“Oh my god! Our luck is turning around! This is awesome!” Li Jiniang couldn’t care less about her image, simply speaking her mind.

“She even told me to hurry to Financial Street to sign a contract with her. Look, she has even sent me the company address…” Zhou Xueyin raised her Motorola T190, showing the text message to a few people.

“Hold on, Yinyin… you’re not thinking of meeting the client with this phone, are you?” Li Jiniang snatched the toy-like T190 in one swift motion.

“But it isn’t broken…” Zhou Xueyin’s habit of being frugal was also a way of saving money for the company.

Even though she was the main person in charge, the phone she used was indeed not as high-end as those of the other three members.

“At the very least, you’re a manager-level person; carrying this toy phone might make someone thinking of investing 300,000 back out.” Li Jiniang mocked Zhou Xueyin, both explicitly and implicitly, “Come on, let’s go buy a phone at the sales hall right now…”

Without further ado, Li Jiniang pulled Zhou Xueyin to a nearby D.Phone and spent almost 4000 yuan to buy a Nokia 6170 flip phone.

With the new phone in hand, Zhou Xueyin treated it like a treasured artifact, hardly daring to use it for fear of accidentally dropping it.

“A phone is meant to be used, not worshipped…” Li Jiniang unceremoniously removed the battery, installed the SIM card, and transferred the data to the new phone, “Here you go… Yinyin, look, put on a business suit, hold this phone, and tidy up your hair a bit, you’ll look much more professional!”

Li Jiniang said this while fixing Zhou Xueyin’s hair.

The previously dyed yellow portion had been cut off, and the newly grown hair was black and shiny. Li Jiniang used a curling iron to make her hair look fuller and more stylish. She also applied some light makeup on her.

“Wow… is this really me?” Zhou Xueyin couldn’t believe what she saw in the mirror, hardly recognizing her own mature side.

“I’ll fix you up like this tomorrow!” Li Jiniang said proudly.

Zhou Xueyin even used her newly bought phone to take a photo of her new look, planning to send it to Wei Jingzhu…

Wait, why do I want to show him?

Zhou Xueyin paused as this random thought popped into her head.

But soon, she closed the phone, removed her makeup, and started preparing the materials she needed for signing the contract the next day…

Fearing she might say something wrong in her excitement, Zhou Xueyin took Li Jiniang with her to Jiang Chunming’s new company on Financial Street.

To Zhou Xueyin, Financial Street had always been a mythical place. She had passed by but never visited…

And today’s visit lived up to its legend.

It felt like the true city center, with towering buildings and streets busy with neatly dressed office workers, whereas her place in Zhongguancun really did seem like a village…

The rent for the offices here must be even more astronomical than in Wangfujing… For some reason, Zhou Xueyin’s focus was unexpectedly on the prohibitive real estate prices of Financial Street.

After arriving at Jiang Chunming’s company, the investors were already waiting in the conference room.

Zhou Xueyin formally introduced her 51buy forum and Xueshan Jiying Advertising Company, and the investors were very satisfied with their current operations, promptly signing the investment contract.

The agreed sum of 300,000 reached Zhou Xueyin’s bank account in the afternoon.

With this money, the company could finally move to a proper office building and truly get on track.
