Chapter 213 Why do you think you can't have both?
Qi Yuan was actually reluctant to grant Ao's wish, but he couldn't help but mutter a curse.
Nick chuckled to himself when he heard his good friend being scolded, "Boss Qi, you can scold him a few more times, he really deserves it."
Qi Yuan picked up his coffee and took a sip. "He's sick, I'm not. By the way, did you find a place to stay in Juecheng?"
Qi Yuan asked Nick this question.
When Casio left, he didn't take his things from the dormitory. Qi Yuan kept his belongings and the dormitory for him.
After all, he had ordered Casio to help Lille open a restaurant in Gondia, so Casio was still his employee.
As for Ao, he can just stay wherever it's cool.
“I know someone here, and I’m staying at his house right now. By the way, Mr. Qi, I have a few questions about the Davis family. I hope you won’t be offended,” Nick said.
Qi Yuan looked at him and said, "I don't care about the Davis family's affairs. Generally, unless Noah tells me about something on his own initiative, I won't ask about it. After all, I'm just his mistress. Even if I were his wife, I wouldn't be able to interfere in the Davis family's affairs."
These words mean: Don't ask me, I don't know.
"Mr. Qi, you don't need to worry. You must know some of the inside information about the questions I'm asking."
"Then tell me, what do I know?"
This sounds more like Qi Yuan trying to get information out of Nick than Qi Yuan answering him.
"I heard that the family head is going to run for president of the federal government next year."
Qi Yuan looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Is this matter that important?"
“It’s quite important. His main concern is running for president of the federal government. He might not have time to care about us subordinates, or he might have to sacrifice our interests to become president.”
Qi Yuan frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.
This wasn't the first time he'd seen people object to President Noord's stance on this matter, and Daphne also had objections to the decision.
Why do you think it's impossible to have both?
"You? Was there anyone before me who thought the head of the family couldn't be the president of the Federation?" Nick asked.
Qi Yuan looked at him and asked, "You suddenly came to me about this. Do you want me to persuade Noah not to run for president?"
Nick smiled immediately at the question. "Mr. Qi, you are indeed clever. You figured out so quickly what I really wanted to ask you to do. Yes, I think you can try to persuade the head of the family."
"why me?"
"The head of the family likes you, so he will definitely listen to what you say."
“But I never interfere with his affairs. Whatever he wants to do, he can do it; if he doesn’t want to do it, he doesn’t have to. I won’t interfere with the thoughts of a mature and stable man who is six years older than me.”
Nick was taken aback when he heard Qi Yuan praise Noah like that.
Looking at Qi Yuan's small, delicate, and beautiful face, he instantly realized that Qi Yuan was very young, even younger than him. However, Qi Yuan's always calm face and the composure he occasionally revealed made him almost forget that Qi Yuan was still young.
“Mr. Qi, the head of the family is already busy enough managing the Davis family. If he becomes the president of the Federation, he will have even less time to spend with you. Won’t you two be spending less and less time together?”
“Men should have their own careers. I’m busy too. I’m not a rose waiting to be watered at home. He can be busy, and so can I.”
"Aren't you afraid that the head of the family will stop loving you once he gets busy?" Nick asked.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "He can be busy, but if he doesn't love me anymore, I'll kill him."
Qi Yuan smiled nonchalantly, as if his previous statement was simply, "I like to eat meat." Nick hadn't expected that Qi Yuan, who seemed gentle, kind, and easy to talk to, could be so crazy inside.
Given how crazy they are, Nick couldn't bring himself to say anything to sow discord among them.
Qi Yuan looked at Nick, who seemed unsure what to say, and said, "If you feel it's unsafe to hang out with Noah, how about you hang out with me?"
"Huh?" Nick was taken aback and looked at Qi Yuan in surprise. "Mr. Qi, what were you saying just now?"
“I said, if you’re worried that President Noya will stop caring about you and cut your funding, then come with me. I’ve made some money running a restaurant, so supporting your organization shouldn’t be difficult.”
"Mr. Qi, are you trying to poach our employees?"
Nick suddenly thought Qi Yuan was crazy, actually trying to steal Davis's girlfriend. Just how much does Noah dote on him to make him so bold?
“You can think of me as poaching someone,” Qi Yuan said.
Nick thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Qi, how much do you earn in a month?"
“My restaurant earned 800,000 last month. I paid back 300,000 to Noah, leaving me with 500,000. Also, this month, thanks to Mr. Lille, Ms. Lennon, and Ms. Daphne's partnership with me, I earned 900,000 in franchise fees. Considering the business performance of my restaurant, I can conservatively expect to earn 1 million this month. Oh, and I also found myself another job, which pays 300,000 a month.”
As Qi Yuan spoke, Nick's eyes widened even more.
"Boss Qi, what kind of job are you looking for? It can earn you 300,000 a month."
Nick would say, "If you can earn 300,000 a month, why are you even opening a restaurant!"
Three hundred thousand is enough for you to squander.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "This job has a Noah factor to it. The other party felt that if they paid me too little, Noah would scold me, so they paid me a bit more."
In Croft's studio, most scholars earned 30,000 a month, but Croft earned 300,000.
As the head of the studio, Croft was in charge of deciding the salaries of his employees. He and several other scholars agreed that Qi Yuan's salary would be 300,000.
But actually, this salary was given by Dunlop.
When Dunlop saw the salary Croft was asking him to pay Qi Yuan, he was so angry he almost flipped the table, asking why Qi Yuan was being paid such a high salary.
To everyone's surprise, Croft said that without Qi Yuan's assistance, wireless communication would not have been successful in such a short time, and he had to pay the salary whether he wanted to or not.
Dunlop was genuinely heartbroken over this small amount of money. He had never wanted Noah to make money in the first place, but now he had to give Qi Yuan 300,000 a month, which hurt him more than cutting off his own flesh.
But in the end, Dunlop still gave it to him.
Noah was not involved in this.
However, Qi Yuan didn't want Nick and the others to know about wireless communication so soon, saying that Noah was involved.
Nick believed his explanation.
After all, others might actually offer Qi Yuan a high salary out of consideration for Noah, even if Qi Yuan does nothing.
“So, it seems you really can support our organization, Mr. Qi,” Nick said.
Qi Yuan nodded: "I will work hard to support you."
Nick chuckled. "Mr. Qi, this is the first time I've heard you say that. What kind of boss makes money to support employees?"
"In short, if you follow me, you won't have to worry about not having money."
Nick was somewhat tempted by Qi Yuan's words, but after thinking about it, Nick shook his head regretfully: "Boss Qi, I actually want to follow you, but I'm already with the Davis family. I'm afraid I'll be silenced if I follow you without the head of the family's permission."
