Witch Special

Chapter 241 Become a Boss from Today

The next day, Lin Zhenxi struggled to get out of bed at six in the morning, trying to get back to her good habit of jogging every morning.

How should I put it? The process was comparable to rehabilitation for a disabled person. Lin Zhenxi didn't even know how much determination she had put in to get out of bed.

Black Cat is even worse than Hayashi Maki. She would fall asleep in the sky while flying and then fall down.

Silly and cute.

But after they really stepped out of the house, the bright sunshine outside gradually made Lin Zhenxi and Black Cat sober up. Lin Zhenxi jumped twice on the spot on tiptoe, then took a step forward and ran.

The black cat yawned and followed her with its tail drooping, floating at a height of about two meters.

Because she hadn't exercised for a long time, Lin Zhenxi's physical fitness declined significantly. She had originally set a goal of jogging five kilometers, but when she reached three and a half kilometers, her lungs started to get stitches in her side, so she had to slow down and start walking back.

Business at the breakfast shop run by the white bear was as brisk as ever. Lin Zhenxi, observing his preparations, noticed a host of new dishes, such as stir-fried liver, boiled tea, red bean and taro ball soup, rice rolls, and wonton noodles. Consequently, the White Bear restaurant now boasted a surge in older customers for morning tea, and seats were hard to come by.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi did not sit down to eat. She packed some soy milk and fried dough sticks and ate them while walking home, savoring the long-lost taste.

A cleaning robot with a round head followed Lin Zhenxi like a tail, waiting for Lin Zhenxi to throw away the garbage in her hand. Black Cat noticed the robot and landed on its head, letting it carry her forward.

The robot followed Lin Zhenxi all the way until Lin Zhenxi finished all the food in her hand at the door and threw the packaging bag into the garbage bag held open in the robot's hand before leaving.

Lin Zhenxi returned home, took a shower, changed into her casual clothes, and went out to Xinju and went downstairs.

Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili were already waiting at the restaurant's entrance. Since Xinju's restaurant was closed in the morning, they had a rare opportunity. Waiting past this time might be difficult, as Liu Angxing needed to participate in today's Chef God Challenge as the champion.

For this reason, the chef who went downstairs at Xinju has been replaced by that handsome middle-aged man these days.

Zhou Meili had obviously told Liu Angxing that Lin Zhenxi was rich and was planning to invest in them, so Liu Angxing was much more enthusiastic when he saw Lin Zhenxi again this time. Before Lin Zhenxi could say anything, Liu Angxing handed Lin Zhenxi a rustic-looking mahogany lunch box.

"Miss Lin, these are just some snacks, not a token of respect."

"Is this made by Chef Liu himself?" Lin Zhenxi asked with a smile as she took the lunch box.

Liu Angxing nodded.

"Then I'll be looking forward to it. It just so happens that the grilled fish I planned to bring to Yan Miao yesterday was knocked over by someone." Lin Zhenxi turned around and put the lunch box into the hover car, then invited Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili to get in the car.

The three of them boarded the hovercraft and headed towards the company.

On the way, Lin Zhenxi noticed that Liu Angxing had been looking out the window, so he asked, "Chef Liu, our world and yours, which one do you think is better?"

"Of course... this way." Liu Angxing put his hand on the car window glass, looking at the bustling city skyline outside the window, and said in a vague tone.

"Clean, strong, peaceful. Free from the encirclement of restless foreign powers, free from the hunger of the common people, free from the incompetence of the emperor. This may be the future we dream of."

Liu Angxing was so emotionally invested that Lin Zhenxi didn't know how to respond. She just wanted to ask which of the two worlds Liu Angxing liked more, and why he even brought up the national hatred and family feuds.

However, after listening to Liu Angxing's words, Lin Zhenxi felt that the place they lived in might be similar to the main world more than a hundred years ago. After all, at that time, China was also at its lowest point, suffering from the bullying of the great powers.

Fortunately, in the following hundred years, the Chinese people stood up again and once again stood at the top of the world.

"Hold on to hope, and you will always see the light at the end of the tunnel." Lin Zhenxi could only comfort Liu Angxing in this way.

I originally wanted to lighten the mood, but the atmosphere became heavy instead. Lin Zhenxi felt that she really had no talent for chatting, so she simply shut up.

Fortunately, the speed of the hovercraft was not slow, and it was not far for Xinju to go downstairs to the "company". After a while, they arrived at their destination.

The completely silver-white building, devoid of any external overhangs, was very eye-catching and quite rare. Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili were both surprised when they first saw the "company" building.

Also, why doesn’t this silver building have a door?

"Let's go." Lin Zhenxi had already applied for a temporary pass for Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili, and now opened the portal as a guide.

Seeing the glittering portal, the two were startled once again. Lin Zhenxi had to warn them a second time before they woke up.

I have to say that the formal way of entering the "company" is indeed quite intimidating, especially when you see it for the first time, everyone will be shocked.

What happened next was rather formal. Lin Zhenxi brought Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili into the consultation hall, asked the teller behind the service desk where they could get help signing a business contract, and were then led to a place called the "Business Consulting Service Center."

After consulting professionals at the Business Consulting Service Center, Lin Zhenxi established a company in his own name, injected all his funds into the company's account, and held all the shares of the company.

Zhou Meili then signed off on the establishment of a secondary company specifically for controlling the funds. Lin Zhenxi's company authorized this company to access its own capital pool. The inflow of funds was overseen by a professional third-party, Gold Medal Accounting from the Business Consulting Service Center. Lin Zhenxi served as executive director of this company and exercised actual control.

Lin Zhenxi then entrusted the actual control to the professional manager of the "company". After all, she would be away for a long time, and the candidates recommended by the "company" were still trustworthy.

The third-tier company, still signed by Zhou Meili, was the actual hotel operating company. When the hotel needed funds, they could submit an application to the second-tier company. Only after Lin Zhenxi or someone authorized by Lin Zhenxi approved it would the funds be transferred from the second-tier company to the third-tier company.

Originally, there should have been a shadow company holding shares in the first-tier company, and multiple shell companies cross-holding shares between the second-tier and third-tier companies. However, those were risk-avoidance measures. Lin Zhenxi trusted the "company" to keep her safe, and because it was too troublesome, she skipped these steps.

Afterwards, they agreed on the issue of profit distribution after the hotel made a profit. Although it would probably take many years for Liu Angxing's new chrysanthemum to come down the stairs to make a profit, the rules still had to be set in advance.

When it comes to profit sharing, Lin Zhenxi originally wanted to just take a little bit, but the cat-eared man, a business elite who provided business consulting services to Lin Zhenxi, strongly advised her not to take this issue lightly. It would be best to match the dividends with the contributions so that the cooperation between the two parties can be long-term and stable.

So the final result is that when the hotel starts to make a profit, Lin Zhenxi will get 70% of the profit, and Liu Angxing will invest his cooking skills and get 30% of the future profits of Xinju Xialou.

Lin Zhenxi, Liu Angxing, Zhou Meili, and the manager entrusted by Lin Zhenxi to help run the company were all very satisfied with the result.

Modern business models are far too complex for laypeople to grasp. In fact, halfway through the discussion, the three of them were completely confused by the cat-eared man. But it didn't matter if they didn't understand the risk mitigation measures; the final and most important question of profit distribution just needed to be clear and simple.

With the signatures, the contract was established. Lin Zhenxi, Liu Angxing, and Zhou Meili became partners.

To be precise, Lin Zhenxi became the boss of Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili, but she was also an employee of Zhou Meili's company, and Zhou Meili was also her boss.

After concluding this business meeting, which almost sealed the deal for the future, Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili immediately said goodbye to Lin Zhenxi. They had to rush to the venue of the Master Chef Challenge before the flying platform would depart for their planned stop today.

Lin Zhenxi went to find Yan Qing with the lunch box sent by Liu Angxing. If Yan Qing was slacking off again today, don't blame her for enjoying the food alone.

Fortunately, Yan Qing showed up for work today. Apparently, the "company" had found a new foreigner. Lin Zhenxi's arrival delighted Yan Qing, her ears perking up and her tail wagging. This joy transformed into surprise when Lin Zhenxi pulled out the lunch box.

How should I put it, it’s food that glows, get it?

When Lin Zhenxi opened the lid of the lunch box, a dazzling light emerged from the box, followed by a fragrant aroma. When the light faded, a colorful, fragrant, and exquisitely shaped Chinese dim sum appeared before the two of them.

At noon that day, both Black Maomao and Yan Qing had eaten themselves to excess. Lin Zhenxi was a little more restrained, but she also drank enough water to keep herself hydrated, as the pastries were a bit too clogging.

In the afternoon, after completing the company's leave approval process, Lin Zhenxi embarked on the journey home alone. Black Cat could no longer fly, so he went straight back to the Witch Book and left New Blue City. The aliens became aliens again, and Black Cat could no longer freely display his extraordinary abilities.

Xinlan City is connected to the outside world by air, highways, high-speed rail, and by boat via the Xinlan River. Lin Zhenxi's hometown is in the neighboring coastal province, hundreds of kilometers away from Xinlan City. So, while there's no need for a plane, high-speed rail or long-distance bus will do.

The levitation car is a specialty of Xinlan City. In areas outside Xinlan City, the magnetic levitation highway has not yet been fully replaced, so Lin Zhenxi's most common means of transportation in Xinlan City cannot be relied upon.

In the end, because there was no high-speed rail or good train schedule, Lin Zhenxi chose to take a long-distance course to go home. The whole journey took about four hours. When she got home, it should be time for dinner.

Give my parents and new sister a little surprise as they are all foodies.
